Chapter 358 Summer Night
Chapter 364 Summer Night

After returning to the hotel with Shiho and Mitsuhiko, the two of them explained the situation to everyone and also notified the hotel staff and called the police. However, to save trouble, the doctor deliberately did not reveal our names when notifying everyone, otherwise our camping plan for tomorrow would have been ruined again.

Speaking of camping tomorrow, although Shiho's ankle was sprained, the swelling and pain disappeared in just one night after my special medicine. I wanted to say no, but the kids wanted to have fun camping, and Yuantai didn't eat all the pine mushrooms he picked, so I hope everyone can take advantage of the camping opportunity to replenish their nutrition. Although I was worried about Shiho's condition, after a night of rest, Shiho said she was fine. So, we set off for the second camping trip.

Different from the first forest collection, the second time we went to a suburb west of Mosido City, which is a well-developed camping area. Many guests come here for outings, and we are one of them. As for wild animals, there are probably only insects hiding in the grass, birds in the woods, and fish jumping in the river. This also made the children get rid of the unhappiness and fright of yesterday, and soon immersed in joy again.

Collecting firewood to make a fire, setting up the stove and cooking. The children were talking and laughing by the stream, while Dr. Agasa and Shiho were busy at the dining table. And what about me?
"Xun, did you catch anything?" Yuantai came over and looked at me as I looked like I was almost asleep.

"How can it be that fast?" I yawned and said uninterestedly. "Fishing is a slow job. It won't be possible to catch fish in a short time."

Yes, fishing. This was the task I was finally assigned. Although it was boring, it was better than collecting firewood. As for wanting to cook with Shiho, Shiho said that it was better not to make trouble and go fishing to add color to the dinner table. Although I thought it would be faster to jump directly into the river to catch fish.

In this way, with the children playing and laughing, the day's camping was coming to an end. At dinner time, the children sat together at the dining table, enjoying the pine mushroom stew and the fish they had just caught from the creek. For a while, they were immersed in the enjoyment of wild game.

After the meal, Yuan Tai blamed Guangyan for not eating all the rice in his bowl, which led to the doctor's occasional jokes, which made everyone's good mood for the day feel a little cold at this moment. Fortunately, the excitement of everyone huddled under a tent at night was not reduced.

"Go out for a walk?" At night, the children had already gone to bed, and I patted Shiho on the shoulder to signal her to go out for a walk. It would be a waste to spend a rare summer night sleeping. Shiho didn't say much about this, she just opened her sleeping bag and got up and walked out.

In the summer night, insects chirp and cicadas sing. As expected of a camping area, the environment is so cozy that it makes people smile unconsciously.

"I keep dreaming about my sister these past two days." Shiho said this out of the blue while walking quietly on the road.

"What? Want to go back and take a look?" I turned my head to look at Shiho who was still enjoying the night view.

"Yeah." Shiho nodded slightly.

"Next week." I smiled. "Although I can take leave at any time, it seems that I have taken too many leave recently. Although I don't care about the grades, if it's just elementary school, I shouldn't be asked to drop out or repeat the grade, right?" (ps: At this moment, I suddenly realized that Conan has been a first-grade elementary school student for thousands of years. Could it be that he has too many cases and took too many leave and was repeated? 23333)

"It's just elementary school. It shouldn't be a big deal if you pass the exam." Shiho wasn't worried about this kind of thing. If she was held back, she was held back. It was just a disguise for her identity. "By the way, should we ask Mary to come with us when we go home next week?"

"Hmm?" Shiho's words made me twitch my eyebrows. After thinking for a while, I finally shook my head. "Mary should be very close to Ling, so it's better not to disturb her easily. Besides, Ling was injured recently, and she needs Mary's care for a short time. We can't take risks without 100% assurance."

"Ling..." Hearing this name, Shiho lowered her head, her eyes full of hesitation. "It would be great if she could help us as an insider."

"I've thought about it, but with Ling's personality..." Thinking about it, I couldn't help but smile. "I'd rather be scared myself than let Ling take the risk. That's why I won't say much about Mary not contacting the organization. Including Taiyi, I don't want any mishaps to happen to the three of them."

"Yeah." Seeing the determination in my eyes, Shiho's lips curled up slightly. He... was still the same.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." I shook my head. "It's a rare good day, let's continue walking. Ningxia is very suitable for a quiet walk..."

【So Thank You For Everything, I am moving now. It's a good time, and it's a good time to forget it. 】

Before I could finish my words, the phone rang. Who would call me at this late hour?
I pulled out my phone and checked the number, only to find that the person calling was Kaito.

"Kaito, do you know what time it is now?" I was very unhappy at being interrupted.

"It's ten minutes to twelve. Hehe, I knew you weren't asleep." Kaito said heartlessly. "Actually, I came to thank you. The spider has completely disappeared, and Hakuba hasn't contacted me for a while. It seems that he is very busy recently."

"Well, I'm glad I'm safe. But it's a pity that we couldn't kill the spider this time." I replied on the phone while continuing my walk with Shiho.

"Yeah, ha, that bulletproof vest you gave me is really useful. I'll wear it from now on. By the way, is there any more available? I want to get one for Grandpa and Aoko as well."

"You think that's Chinese cabbage? It's all over the ground." I said unhappily. "It's gone in a short time. I'll hurry up and make some."

"Hehe, by the way, you helped me a lot this time, I don't know how to thank you." Kaito grinned. "How about... I really give you the gem I stole."

"Well, I'll give you an address later, and you can just find a way to send it there." I didn't reject Kaito's kindness, because selling stolen gems is a troublesome job anyway. Although Kaito's principle is to send back the gems that are not Pandora. But now that I'm here, this principle should be broken. "By the way, can you help me get something else?"

"Hmm? What?" "Hmm... I'll tell you later." I looked at Shiho and thought about it before I finished talking. "I'll text you later. That's it." I hung up the phone.

"...What? You're so mysterious." Kaito scratched his head on the other end of the line, confused. "Forget it, as long as he doesn't ask me to help him steal a nuclear bomb."

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

Kaito's call interrupted Shiho and I's walk. After walking around the park, we returned to the camp and got into our sleeping bags. Shiho fell asleep quickly, and I sent Kaito a message. Then I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already the next morning. After a simple wash, the doctor drove us home.

"Hey, Doctor, take us to see the twin towers of Mosideo City that we passed by yesterday." Mitsuhiko said while sitting in the back seat. Indeed, they saw the twin towers of Mosideo City which had just been built not long ago on the highway yesterday. This was a great temptation for Mitsuhiko who liked vast landscapes and majestic buildings. Although it required a detour, it was just a piece of cake for the Doctor. So with the Doctor's happy nod, he took us to Mosideo City.

"Hey, Mitsuhiko, move a little over there." Yuan Tai squeezed his body in the car.

"Really, Yuanta, you can just sit in the front. There are seats available, why do you have to squeeze with us?" Mitsuhiko said dissatisfiedly.

"But it's more fun to sit in the big seat in the back." Genta explained. "Besides, Kaoru and Haibara are also sitting in the front seats, so there's no room left."

"Do you want to change? I don't mind squeezing in with Ai." I turned around and smiled at Yuanta.

"There is another seat in front." Shiho did not take her eyes off the scenery outside the window, but just raised her arm and pointed her thumb towards the co-pilot seat.

Indeed, this Tesla SUV is a seven-seater. The doctor was in the driving seat, the co-pilot seat next to him was empty, and the two single seats in the back were for me and Shiho. The big seat in the back was for three people. At this time, the four children were squeezed together and had a lot of fun. The co-pilot seat in the front was indeed empty.

"No, it's more fun when everyone is crowded together in the back. Really Conan, please squeeze over there." Yuan Tai said.

"..I can't do anything about you." Conan shook his head. "Ayumi, excuse me, please squeeze in a little bit." It's not that Conan wants to sit and play with the kids. But if they want to change seats now, or go to the passenger seat, the doctor will have to find a place to park the car. Now they are still on the highway and can't park the car. But when they get off the highway, they are almost there, so there is no point in changing seats.

"Let's play some games." Yuantai started suggesting as soon as he sat down.

"Well... let's play guess the time for 30 seconds." Mitsuhiko suggested. The space was small and the kids didn't have any mobile games to play, so they had to make do with it. "Kaoru, Huihara-san, do you want to join in?" Mitsuhiko asked us who were sitting in the front.

"I give up." Shiho closed her beautiful eyes and raised her hand to indicate that she didn't want to participate in this time-wasting game.

"I don't know either." Similarly, I had no intention of participating. Guessing thirty seconds? How could this be challenging for me? I've been playing with bomb timing for so many years, and even a second off is not good enough. Although it's impossible to get it right to 0.01 seconds, it's definitely not more than 0.1 seconds off.

Seeing that the two were not participating, Mitsuhiko sighed, took out a stopwatch from his backpack, and started the game himself.

"...Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty!" Mitsuhiko counted silently, and when he reached thirty, the stopwatch stopped at forty seconds. "Huh? Ten seconds too late?" Mitsuhiko said unhappily.

“Hey, watch me.” Yuan Tai grabbed the stopwatch, but the result... “What?! Five, fifty-nine seconds? Is this thing broken?” Yuan Tai couldn’t believe it.

"I think you are the bad one." Mitsuhiko smiled awkwardly.

Soon, Conan took the stopwatch and he was quite close, 27 seconds. However, when the stopwatch came into Ayumi's hands...

"Twenty-nine, thirty!" The moment the stopwatch was pressed, the number stopped exactly at thirty, without a deviation of even a millisecond.

"Wow... Ayumi is so amazing." Conan who was sitting next to her praised.

"Hehehe... This is all thanks to Conan." Ayumi murmured quietly, but no one else heard it. Of course, except me who has excellent hearing. Shiho turned her head to look at Ayumi whose cheeks were a little hot, and then tilted her head towards me, as if asking me about Ayumi's talent in time calculation.

I smiled at Shiho, put my hands on my chest, and exaggeratedly puffed out my chest to indicate my heart beating. Shiho immediately understood, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she turned her gaze back to the scenery outside the window.

it is more than words.
