Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Logically speaking, the Conan world shouldn't have mysterious powers, but the recent events have made her somewhat uncertain.

On the other hand, Fujimaru Ritsuka's reaction puzzled Haibara Ai as well, wondering why the professional would hesitate so much on such a question.

However, she didn't care, because none of these were the real questions she wanted to ask.

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka was still struggling with her decision, she made up her mind and mustered up her courage to ask:

"Um, Ritsuka-neechan, after this is all over, you're not just going to disappear like this, are you?"

"disappear?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka paused for a moment, then asked in return:

"What do you mean?"

Ai Haibara said worriedly:

"It's a rule that's often seen in movies and TV shows: ordinary people can't know about the existence of the mysterious world. If an ordinary person finds out, they have to erase their memory, leave them, or even kill them to silence them."

Although it's a setting in a movie or TV show, most secret organizations probably have similar rules.

For example, if an ordinary person were to accidentally witness a transaction within the black-clad organization she previously belonged to, that person would certainly be silenced.

Shinichi Kudo is a perfect example, except that he escaped unscathed by sheer luck.

Therefore, she was very worried that Fujimaru Ritsuka would leave afterward, or even erase her memory.

Fujimaru Ritsuka understood Ai Haibara's meaning, thought for a moment, and replied earnestly:

"Unless that's what you want, it won't happen, and I won't leave because of this."

"Even if I leave for some reason, I will definitely come back as long as you still want me to."

"I can promise."

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's sincere eyes, Haibara Ai finally felt relieved.

"I understand, I believe you."

Seeing that the other person had returned to normal, Fujimaru Ritsuka took their hand and smiled happily:

"Now that the problem is solved, let's go have some fun! We're here on vacation, it would be a waste if we kept thinking about random things!"

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara also slightly curled the corners of her lips and nodded in response:

"Ok!"

Chapter 113 Summer Festival (Part 113)

113.

2023-11-20

July 23rd passed in a flash, and time has come to the main event, July 24th, the grandest event of the year on Hito Island: the Summer Festival.

Many tourists, including Fujimaru Ritsuka and her group, came for the summer festival, so the number of tourists on the island reached its peak that day.

Meanwhile, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, who had a great time at the beach yesterday, decided to rest well during the day and go directly to the summer festival after dusk.

The girl, Bodao, followed them back to the guesthouse. Fortunately, the room they booked was large enough that even with two more children, it didn't feel crowded; on the contrary, it felt just right.

Moriarty sat on the sofa, engrossed in a book he had somehow acquired. In his quiet demeanor, he certainly looked like a gentleman, rather than a comical villain.

She glanced at the book title casually: "The Perfect Crime".

emmmmmmmmm

Never mind, it's just reading.

Ai Haibara was also sitting on the other side, looking at the fashion magazine she had brought, with a cold drink next to her, seemingly enjoying her holiday as well.

As for Bo Dao and the girl Bo Dao, she gave them a game console and taught them some basic knowledge and operation. The two of them were completely immersed in it and didn't want to leave.

Games are naturally very attractive to children, especially for two young people who have been confined to an abandoned hospital and Hiruko Cave since their injury and have never been exposed to modern entertainment.

After playing for only a few minutes, the two were completely captivated by the game's charm.

She watched for a while. They were playing a two-player cooperative game. Although they were both beginners and their skills were still a bit clumsy, their teamwork was excellent.

As for her.

She glanced down at the game screen on her handheld console, and the answer was obvious.

Come to think of it, I haven't exercised at all these past two days. Is this really okay?

Such worries unconsciously arose in my mind, but they quickly dissipated.

Oh well, it's a holiday after all. We can talk about exercising when we get back.

Game, start!

As dusk fell, the entire island of Ridu became increasingly lively, with both tourists and local residents taking to the streets to participate in this annual grand event.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and her group joined the crowd and headed towards Hito Shrine.

The summer festival on Hitoshima Island is a prayer to the local deity Hiruko, so Hitoshima Shrine and the entire street below it are the central area of ​​the festival.

However, probably no one would have imagined that the Hiruko-no-Kami they worship would actually participate in the summer festival.

Good evening, everyone!

Upon arriving at the foot of Hito Shrine, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly spotted Amishiro Shinpei and his group gathered under the torii gate.

Mio Kofune, Tokiko Rhombus, and Mō Rhombus all changed into yukatas, while Shinpei Amishiro, Hiraku Minakata, and Ryūnosuke Minakata remained dressed in their usual casual clothes.

Although she also had a kimono, she didn't change into it, and instead wore her everyday summer clothes, which were more convenient for movement.

Beside Wang Dai Shenping, Yingzi Chao disguised himself, putting on a baseball cap and sunglasses to avoid being recognized by local acquaintances and causing unnecessary trouble.

"good evening!"

The group greeted each other with smiles and then entered the lively activity area together.

The main street was lined with all sorts of stalls, and the dazzling array of food was overwhelming for Bo Dao.

Although festivals were held in the past, only the island's residents participated. In order to avoid being discovered, she could only watch from a distance and at most ask Shadow to buy her some food. As for after she was injured, there was no need to mention it.

This was the first time she had ever personally participated in such a lively festival.

"Ritsuka-neechan, I want to eat that!"

Suddenly, Hata grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's clothes with one hand and pointed to the bright red apple candies on the stall with the other, pouting.

"Okay."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and agreed, then asked the others:

"Is there anyone else who wants it?"

"Um, Ritsuka-sama, I want one too."

The girl, Bo Dao, timidly raised her hand and whispered.

"Okay. Boss, two candied apples, please!"

"Okay, thank you for your patronage!"

They bought some food along the way, then chose a good spot to stand and wait for the next activity to begin.

The original activity involved carrying a palanquin, where local residents dressed in special costumes would carry the local deity through the neighborhood in order to please the deity and hope to continue receiving the deity's blessings.

Incidentally, since Hishigata Kami Tsuruhiko, who was originally the chief priest of Hito Shrine, went offline, claiming that he was seriously ill and unable to go out, Hishigata Kanamero, the parent of the Hishigata siblings, was eventually chosen to serve as the chief priest.

Soon after, the parade began.

"Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!"

Local residents carried a huge and magnificent palanquin, shouting loudly as they passed by the crowd. Among them was Xiaozhou Lian, the father of Xiaozhou Mio and Shadow Chao.

Everyone stood on both sides watching, some taking photos with their phones, while others took the opportunity to worship and pray, making their own wishes.

Watching the palanquin slowly approach and then recede into the distance, Shadow Tide said regretfully:

"It's a real pity I can't participate this year. I was one of the palanquin bearers every year before."

Upon hearing this, Bo Dao, with a few sugar crumbs still clinging to the corners of his mouth, scoffed:

"If you were to carry the sedan chair, you would receive a curse instead of a blessing."

"you!"

Shadow Tide glared at her, but suddenly realized that he couldn't seem to refute her.

Because she suddenly remembered that the deity they worshipped, and the one sitting on the palanquin, seemed to be this wicked little girl in front of her!

If she says it's a curse, then it is a curse.

"Humph!"

So Shadow Tide could only stubbornly hum in response to express his attitude.

After the palanquin procession, there is a burning ceremony, which is a bonfire, and finally a fireworks display on the beach, but there is a period of free time in between each of these events.

Since Nanfang Rihe wanted to find a place to sit down and rest, and the diamond-shaped window seemed to have something to do as well, after discussing it, the group decided to split up temporarily and meet up again later.

Just then, the diamond-shaped window suddenly said to Xiaozhoumiao with a solemn expression:

"Mio, can you come with me for a moment? I have something I want to tell you."

Without waiting for Xiaozhou's reply, she walked straight to the other side.

"Eh?"

Xiaozhoumiao looked somewhat bewildered in the direction he had left, then turned back to look at the crowd, and finally followed him hesitantly.

Seeing this, Shadow Tide sighed helplessly and said:

"Still not giving up at this point? That guy really is hard to learn."

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Shinpei Amishiro was somewhat puzzled, while the others, including Ritsuka Fujimaru, cast curious glances at him with gossip in their eyes.

The rhomboid ibis also sighed:
