Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 839 I really like Xia Chuan!
Nishitama City is part of Tokyo, and the distance is not actually very far, especially since a new expressway recently opened, making it a quick and direct route.

By late noon, Joel had already arrived at the Domoto Music Academy in Nishitama City.

"The scenery here is so beautiful. It seems that Kazuki Domoto really values ​​this concert. From the moment we entered, there were dazzling flowers, colorful balloons overhead, and the surrounding scenery is also very beautiful."

"that is."

"Just what?"

"Well, it just doesn't quite fit the atmosphere of the concert."

After saying that, Joel shook his head self-deprecatingly, "But after all, they are a professional music academy. Their actions must be related to the style of the concert program. I was overthinking it."

Instead of answering the question, Shinichi Tomoaki smiled and said, "The concert hall on the island in the middle of the lake is even more spectacular."

"is it?"

A short while later, the car stopped in front of the stone bridge spanning the lake on the island in the middle of the lake.

"Miss Joel, you may get off the bus now."

"it is good."

When Yoel got out of the car, just as he was about to ask Natsukawa where he was, he turned around and found that Shinichi had already started the car.

"Hey, you still haven't told me where Xia Chuan is!" Joel shouted anxiously at the open window.

However, Shinichiro seemed not to hear him, waved his hand with a smile, and disappeared in a flash.

"What's wrong with everyone today? They're all acting so strangely."

Joel frowned, but not being one to think things through, she didn't dwell on it.

Only then did she focus her attention on the island in the middle of the lake that Shinichiro had been praising all along.

From the outside, the island is covered in a riot of flowers: the red ones are fiery and passionate, the pink ones are gentle and soft like the sunset, and the yellow ones are radiant and dazzling. They cluster together, swaying gracefully in the breeze, their fragrance filling the air, as if whispering sweet stories.

It seems that the flowers attracted many butterflies to dance around.

At one point, they seemed to finally discover a princess, and flocked to her, flying up and down around her like knights guarding her.

Looking up, the colorful balloons are particularly eye-catching against the clear blue sky. They float lightly in the wind, the delicate ribbons tied to them dancing in the breeze like nimble sprites.

Stepping onto the stone bridge and looking down at the lanterns shimmering on the lake, one's mood seems to relax as well.

Continuing forward, at the entrance of the concert hall, the heavy doors are adorned with white curtains, a perfect blend of strength and gentleness that feels natural. The curtains sway gently in the wind, creating a dreamlike scene.

Carefully trimmed green plants are placed on both sides of the entrance, with twinkling fairy lights interspersed among them. Even during the day, one can imagine how warm and romantic it will look when it is lit up at night.

Upon entering the main entrance, one finds a circular lobby. The receptionist, clearly recognizing her, called out to her and led her with a professional smile to the concert hall.

Stepping through the inner hall, the view opens up dramatically, revealing an even more meticulously arranged interior. Dense rows of seats and a double-tiered grandstand come into view, while behind the stage is a massive pipe organ with brass pipes, exuding a solemn and grand atmosphere that gives one a profound and clean feeling.

On stage, the musicians, dressed in formal attire, chatted and nodded to each other in small groups.

Looking down at the trapezoidal stands and the red carpet stretching forward, Joel unconsciously lifted her skirt slightly, assuming the persona of a princess, wanting to go down and find her prince charming.

She only now realized that Niina Kaori's suggestion to wear a skirt seemed to be part of a plan, but as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she was distracted by other things.

A dark figure darted out from the audience seats next to her, charging towards her like a mad bull, and then quickly grabbed her delicate hand.

"Come with me for a moment!"

The person who came only said one sentence, grabbed her, and ran away.

The romantic atmosphere shattered in an instant, Joel's smile froze, and his beautiful neck seemed to twitch slightly.

However, she did not stop the other person and ran to the side as the other person suggested.

She appeared to be expressionless, but her clenched fist was actually about to smash into her younger brother's adorable face.

That's right, the person who crawled out from the dark corner, spoke to her in a lewd tone, and then pervertedly dragged her outside was none other than her good-for-nothing younger brother. Yuri had no smile on his face, and with an earpiece in his pocket, he was clearly on a mission, dressed in a suit and tie.

"Yuri, what are you going to do?"

"I have something to say!"

Joel didn't think he would be involved in the other party's mission, so Yuri was now taking up his work time.

If the boss sees this, I'll definitely get scolded, right?

She glared at her younger brother: "Has the police received the notification? Could it be that this explosion is related to the winery?"

"No, the explosion was not caused by the distillery."

"Then what are you doing here?" Joel had already raised his fist.

Neglecting one's work and ruining one's own dreamlike fantasy is intolerable!

"Sister, now is not the time to talk about these things. I'll ask you questions and you answer them. Time is running out!"

"What time is running out?"

She shook off Yuri's hand and looked back, finding no sign of being chased, before looking at her younger brother with a puzzled expression.

"If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I don't mind giving your boss a lecture."

"Da da da"

Joel had already begun to move his finger joints.

"Hey, what time is it? Can't you just listen to me and talk to me properly?"

Yuri was extremely anxious.

Having learned that Xia Chuan was planning to propose, he wanted to contact his sister to confirm the situation, but unfortunately, Yor was not in Tokyo at all, and Xia Chuan was unwilling to give him her contact information.

So today I waited at the concert hall specifically, not only to carry out my mission, but also because I wanted an answer from my sister.

"Just ask."

Joel nodded slightly.

My younger brother seems really anxious this time; I might as well listen to him.

Do you really like Xia Chuan?

"I really, really like it!!!" he emphasized again.

"???" Joel tilted his head. "What?"

"You just need to answer yes or no."

"I'm really in a hurry, there's no time left."

Xia Chuan just took Anya to the restroom, and he should already know about what happened with Joel. He has probably already found out, so he needs to race against time!
Yuri's inexplicable questions annoyed Joel, but when she spoke to Xia Chuan, she calmed herself down and looked at Yuri with a composed expression. "Yes, I really, really like Xia Chuan!"

Suddenly, Joel's face turned bright red. Even though there was no one else around, it felt really awkward to talk to Yuri about it!

Although I was prepared, the moment I heard that my sister had someone she loved, a wave of bitterness and helplessness washed over me.

Yuri felt a pang of sadness, realizing that the time they had spent together was about to be taken away by someone else. But seeing the sweet look on her sister's face when she mentioned Natsukawa, she felt genuinely happy for her and could only swallow her bitterness and offer her silent blessings.

"Is that so? That's good, I understand." Yuri nodded, his voice choked with emotion, tears welling in his eyes.

"what's wrong with you?"

Joel clenched and unclenched his fist repeatedly, unsure whether to throw the punch or not.
