Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

Watching Ran Mouri leave, Gu De reached out and put his arm around Yoko Okino's waist.

As expected of an all-around idol, he is slender yet strong, which makes him very stable when riding a horse and allows him to maintain control as the horse rises and falls.

The physique developed through long-term dance training is indeed more conducive to generating power in various movements.

In this respect, Yukiko Kudo is slightly inferior.

However, Yukiko Kudo has her own way of doing things.

"The view behind that auditorium looks quite nice!"

"Let's go over there!"

Without saying a word, Gu De put his arm around Yoko Okino and walked over.

Outside the back door of the auditorium, the trees were indeed dense, and a cement path meandered into the mountains, with the outline of a lighthouse faintly visible in the distance.

Yoko Okino, her face flushed and covered in sweat, bent over and leaned against the tree, studying the patterns on its branches.

She never imagined that studying how to get close to nature could be so interesting.

Gu De also sighed, saying that this kind of dress is the most suitable for traveling, saving a lot of trouble.

"The trees here... look very old... the trunks are so thick."

Playing in the wild is always tiring, and Yoko was panting heavily as she spoke.

"Yes, yes, this location... is perfect for planting trees. Plenty of sunshine... plenty of water... fertile soil, it's ideal for planting trees here..."

"Gu De... I'm a little tired. Let's finish watering this tree and then we'll call it a day. Climbing the mountain to look after the trees is too tiring..."

Climbing mountains to study big trees is really tiring.

Yoko Okino was exhausted and disheveled. She never imagined that she would be so interested in nature one day!

In the future, I really need to invite Gu De to come out and play more often!

Nature deserves to be closer!

Being close to nature is joyful, but climbing up to study trees also makes her very tired.

Yoko Okino lay exhausted on the grass, but being so close to nature made her feel happy and relaxed.

"Gu De, I...I'm a little tired...I didn't expect climbing a mountain to be so tiring..."

"I'm going to Miss Yoshizawa's house to rest later..."

rest?

Gu De nodded.

There are still things to do later, so it would be better for Yoko Okino to go back and rest.

The two were in a very concealed position. Gu De had just seen a long-haired man slip into the back door of the auditorium from the shadows.

The man's long hair covered half of his face, which made Gu De recognize him immediately.

Hamada Koji!

His original name was Koji Aoki, and he was the mastermind behind the sinking of the Ryujinmaru.

The man, carrying a large bag, mysteriously gripped the back door of the auditorium. Gu De guessed that the kid was preparing a trap for Kogoro Mouri.

Yoko Okino rested for a while before finally getting up, her eyes becoming even more unfocused due to exhaustion.

A gentle breeze ruffled her loose hair, but most of it was stuck to her forehead with sweat.

"Go down first."

There were two faint handprints on the waist of the white dress, and broken weeds and dust were stuck everywhere.

Gu De had no choice but to help Yoko Okino clean up.

It's because the other person just helped me clean up.

The two slowly descended the mountain and soon noticed Conan appearing with Mikami Reirin.

Followed by.

"Click~"

Hamada Koji opened the door and walked out.

"Shh!"

Gu De quietly made a hand gesture to Okino Yoko.

The two hid in the shadows and watched as Hamada Koji sneaked up the path.

"Whoo~"

As the other person gradually walked away, the tense Yoko Okino secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, being around Gu De is actually quite exciting.

Just then.

"Aoki! It's you!"

Suddenly, the man named Yasuo Uehara emerged from the woods and blocked Koji Hamada's path!

You've mistaken me for someone else.

Hamada Koji tried to dodge, but Uehara Yasuo grabbed him by the collar.

"Ok?"

Yoko Okino was a little nervous. Gu De held her hand, which was still damp and covered in sweat.

It seems that Yoko Okino still needs to work out.

When we go back this time, let her learn yoga!

Yasuo Uehara was agitated. He grabbed Koji Hamada with one hand and used the other to brush his hair aside.

but.

What came into view was a mangled face burned by fire.

"Crack~"

Hamada Koji pushed Uehara Yasuo's hand away.

However, Uehara Yasuo merely watched coldly as he walked away quickly.

"I'd recognize your face even if you were reduced to ashes!"

After saying that, Yasuo Uehara walked to the other side.

"Gu De... will he be alright?"

Yoko Okino looked at the two of them with some concern, but Gu De shook his head: "We don't know the cause and effect of this, so it's better not to get involved."

"Besides, what if someone recognizes you in your current state..."

Yoko Okino blinked and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Just then.

Gu De suddenly noticed that there was another person peeking from not far away.

Judging from the looks of it, it's actually Kinoshita Goro, who has such an honest-looking face!

This guy may look honest, but he's incredibly decisive when he acts.

Kinoshita Goro flashed past and quickly returned to the direction of the auditorium.

However, Conan's attention was focused on Hamada Koji and Uehara Yasuo, and he didn't notice that Kinoshita Goro was still hiding in the shadows.

Seeing that the two had disappeared, Conan wanted to find Gu De and ask him what he thought.

but.

"Don't interfere in adults' affairs!"

Mikami Reirin grabbed him, "Let me show you backstage!"

"The speech looks like it's about to start!"

Conan wanted to go over, but Mikami Rin was too strong, and Mikami Rin's words reminded him of Ran Mouri's strange expression earlier.

When Conan finally realized what was happening, he discovered that Gu De had already left with Okino Yoko.

……

hall.

After being taken back by Gu De, Yoko Okino simply washed up and rested.

After settling in, Gu De walked to the auditorium with his landlady, Yoshizawa Asahi.

"Brother Gu De! Over here!"

When Ran Mouri saw Gu De appear, she immediately waved excitedly.

Conan, standing to the side, looked on with curiosity, glancing at Gu De and then at the charming Yoshizawa Asahi.

"Who is that older sister?"

Mikami Reirin, standing to the side, dutifully said:

"That's Yoshizawa Asahi, who just moved to Tokyo last year. She's a painter and bought a house here because she loves the scenery on the island."

"but……"

Mikami Reirin suddenly remembered her mother's warning.

However, this sounds a bit strange, so it's better not to say it.

Moreover, it's not a good thing to say such things behind someone's back!

There were two seats left next to Ran Mouri, originally intended for Yoko Okino and Gu De.

However, Yoko Okino didn't come because she was resting, so Gu De and Asahimi Yoshizawa sat there instead.

"Is Uncle Mori alright?"

Gu De asked with some curiosity.
