I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"Put your hands on your head to protect it!"

At the last moment before being swept away, Serabelle only had time to yell this sentence before being swallowed up by the overwhelming waves.

In a very short time of less than a few tenths of a second, the entire underwater restaurant was completely transformed into a pulsator washing machine working at full capacity.

In the face of such a powerful force of nature, whether it is people, tables and chairs, or sports cars, they are all mixed together like clothes in a washing machine.

Fortunately, this process only lasted about ten seconds before gradually subsiding.

After all, such violent turbulence is essentially just due to the imbalance of internal and external water pressure. When a large amount of sea water rushes into the interior and the internal and external pressures are almost balanced, the turbulence will naturally stop.

Because there will be no more water coming in.

hiss……

Serabel was immersed in the cold sea water. Noticing that the impact of the water flow was gradually weakening, he opened his eyes and touched the places on his body that were hurt by the previous impact to confirm that there were no fractures.

Looking up, the warm lights above shine through the water.

I thought the circuits of the underwater restaurant would trip after being soaked in water, but I didn't expect it to still continue to work. It seems that the materials were stacked well at the beginning of construction.

Looking down, the originally neatly arranged restaurant had been turned into a mess. Various tables and chairs were tilted and sank to the bottom of the water, while lighter items such as paper and pens floated on the water above and stuck to the ceiling.

There was also the Ferrari F40 sports car, which was also rushed down from the booth in the previous impact. After circling around with all the other people and things for a few times, it successfully fell on Kisaki Eri's legs.

Of course, it would be more appropriate to describe it as "card".

But no matter what, it was the same for the female lawyer. She was trapped, with her legs stuck in the gap between the car chassis and the ground. In that position, she could neither break free nor exert any strength, and could only struggle in vain.

Seeing this, Serabelle had no time to lean over to catch her breath, so she dived straight down.

When she came to the female lawyer's side, Kisaki Eri was almost reaching her limit of holding her breath.

Although her physique was in good condition and could be useful, she was limited by her gender and could not be as strong as an adult male. She was unable to completely defend herself in the collision just now and choked on some water. In addition, her anxiety and desperate struggle after her legs were pinned down further increased her oxygen consumption.

Her beautiful face turned red from holding it in. Kissing her neck in pain, she tried her best to stop the gas from leaking out. Tiny bubbles popped out between her slightly parted lips and teeth.

There were not even any signs of drowning. From her appearance, anyone could see that this female lawyer would soon lose consciousness and eventually die from drowning.

At the critical moment, Serabelle made a bold and useful decision.

He kissed the female lawyer's red lips directly, and with his superb skills, he made the latter subconsciously relax her tense defenses, and the breaths of both of them blended at this moment.

Gululu~

As a series of bubbles overflowed from the corners of their lips, Kisaki Eri opened her eyes wide in surprise, and her underwater vision was completely occupied by the young man who was nearly twenty years younger than her and was right next to her.

Seeing that the female lawyer's hypoxia symptoms were slightly relieved, Serabel stepped back, turned around, hooked her hands on the chassis of the sports car, stepped on the ground with her feet, and lifted it up with the buoyancy of the sea water.

The Ferrari was turned over.

On the other side, Kogoro Mori and others who escaped death came to the dome in the center of the restaurant and gathered together.

Although most of the space in the building is currently filled with seawater, the restaurant itself is a semicircle and is inverted on the seabed like a bowl. Even if the windows are shattered, there is still some space above to retain air.

It's just like the underwater breathing hole in the game Tomb Raider.

Now the ventilation hole is full, and less than thirty centimeters below is the cold sea water.

Kogoro Mouri looked around and saw Inspector Megure, Shiratori, Conan, Koyama Nana and others were all there. Except for Sawaki Kouhei, who was probably still tied up on the table and might have drowned, there were still two people missing.

"Wait, where's Eri! And where's that brat? Haven't they come up yet?"

The space is so small, and this is an obvious result.

Kogoro Maori gritted his teeth.

Just as he was about to go into the water again to save people, water splashed in the narrow space and two more heads popped up.

It was Serabelle and Eri Kisaki.

Seeing that both of them were safe and sound, Kogoro Mori finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So you guys are fine. By the way, why is your face so red, Eri?"

"…Nothing, just a little choked, that's all."

Hearing this question, Kisaki Eri turned to Serabelle, who had come up beside her and looked calm. She smiled without caring about the water droplets on her face, and shook the boy's hand at an angle that no one else could see underwater.

Chapter 252: Being supported by Eri Kisaki (Happy)

There was naturally nothing much to say about the subsequent process. Most of the people present could swim, and after the water flow in the underwater restaurant stabilized completely, they swam out from the window that had been blown open earlier.

The only one who was a bit confused was Minoru Nishina, who was a landlubber.

Because he couldn't swim, Shishido Nagaaki forced him to learn how to hold his breath underwater, and then he was dragged by the collar from the underwater restaurant to the platform above the sea.

Although the process was somewhat difficult, and it was the first time in their lives to go into the water, for Serabelle and the others, the journey was only slightly long and almost suffocated him to death.

But I managed to get through it in the end, and I gained a lot of life experience.

Twenty minutes later, on the large platform in front of the Ocean Crystal Pavilion above the sea, the people who had escaped death were all soaking wet, sitting or standing on a platform similar to a square.

The evening sun shone over the horizon, and Inspector Megure was lying flat on the ground like spreading butter on a frying pan. He had taken off his suit and shirt, leaving his upper body naked with a round belly exposed.

Meanwhile, Shiratori wrung out the shirt and put it on Inspector Megure's stomach.

That was the place where he was shot by Sawaki Kouhei before. Although he had been treated in the hospital, he had not fully recovered. The wound seemed to have burst open again after such intense exercise, and the blood mixed with sea water dyed the white shirt red.

On the other side, Serabelle sat on the steps facing the sea, pulling back her hair that probably smelled faintly of seaweed, and smoothing out all the moisture in it.

They just climbed up to the square from these steps.

I took out my phone and pressed the power button, but the screen went dark.

It looks like too much water has gotten into it, causing a short circuit. I need to buy a new one.

I'll ask Zhenchun to recommend something later...

Just as Serabel was thinking this, a familiar figure sat down beside him. They sat side by side on the steps and looked at the fiery red sunset in the distance.

It’s Eri Kisaki.

The female lawyer was also soaked. Her long hair, which had been carefully tied up, was messed up by the water, so she simply let it down and let it hang casually behind her. Only her suit, which was soaked with sea water, was still heavy on her body.

Maybe she was afraid that the shirt inside would get wet and stick to her body, and she would be exposed after taking off her coat.

Looking at the young man beside her who was looking at her inquiringly, Kisaki Eri smiled gently.

"Just now when I was underwater, thanks to you for saving me in time. Otherwise, even if others could rescue me from under the car, I might not be able to make it here."

"Oh, that's nothing..."

Serabel put away his phone and propped up his face with one hand. The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated his entire face.

"After all, we agreed before that I will be your bodyguard this time."

"That's true."

After hearing this, Kisaki Eri smiled again, as if moved by the serious look of the young man in front of her.

But she still thanked him solemnly again.

"Anyway, thank you very much, young detective~"

"..."

Right behind Serabelle, Kogoro Mori, who had just calmed down, was about to say a few words to Eri Kisaki, but when he looked up, he saw the two of them sitting together, whispering something. After thinking about it, he put his raised hand down.

At the same time, accompanied by the faint sound of engines, three or four Metropolitan Police Department speedboats were seen sailing towards them in the distance on the sea.

And on the speedboat in the front, a unicorn girl was waving vigorously towards this side.

"Dad~Mom~Conan~Sera-kun~Are you all okay?"

……

"Eh, what? So Mr. Sawaki is the criminal?"

The perspective changed to the familiar pier parking lot. After listening to Kogoro Maori's description of his underwater experience, the unicorn girl's mouth opened into an O shape.

It would be fine if Mr. Sawaki was the culprit, but what about the explosion of the underwater restaurant? Did everyone swim out from the breach of the underwater restaurant?

Could this development be any more outrageous?

Xiaolan really wanted to complain like this, but Conan's voice beside her dispelled the idea.

"Fortunately, Sister Lan didn't go down with us, otherwise it would have been terrible if she encountered danger."

"This... is the same for you, Conan."

"But we all survived safely."

"That's what I said..."

Xiaolan has no idea what to do with this result-oriented approach.

"By the way, where is Mr. Zemu?"

"He drowned underwater."

The person who spoke was not Conan, but Serabel who came up from behind.

Seeing the unicorn girl turn her head and look at him in surprise, he shrugged.

"At that time, everyone was struggling to protect themselves underwater. How could they have the energy to take care of a murderer? What's more, he wanted to kill everyone. If he got too close and got stabbed by him, don't save him. If you are a human being, you might even fall into it yourself.”

This is indeed the case, so everyone underwater at that time tacitly chose to forget about the wine taster.

While enforcing justice is important, one should think carefully before risking one's own life.

On the other side, Kogoro Mouri, who had not found an opportunity since coming out of the sea, finally took advantage of this opportunity to find the female lawyer and talk.

"Um...Eri, how about I, Ran, and Conan take you back together later?"

"what?"

As if she was a little surprised that a certain stubborn detective would actually take the initiative to talk to her, Kisaki Eri was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled and shook her head.

"No need. I can just take Sera-kun's car back later. It's next door anyway, so it's just on the way. So many things happened today, so let Lan go back and have a good rest first."

"Uh, that's it..."

Kogoro Mori didn't expect that the invitation he had finally mustered up the courage to put aside his pride and made would be rejected. His face froze, but he couldn't say much, so he could only nod.

A moment later, as the ambulance from the hospital arrived at the dock and took away Inspector Megure, who was unable to move due to a ruptured wound, everyone went back to their homes.

Naturally, Kisaki Eri took Serabel's car just like when she came.

But when she sat in the passenger seat, she saw the teenager in the driver's seat still trying to turn on his phone. After trying again and again and still unable to turn it on, he could only put it silently on the dashboard.

"Hey, Sera-kun." The female lawyer was the first to break the silence.

"what?"

"Are you free tonight?"

at night?

A question mark appeared on Serabelle's head.

"Yes, there should be. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just want you to accompany your aunt to the mobile phone store in the city center."

Kisaki Eri took out her own cell phone, which was completely broken due to being soaked in water and couldn't be turned on, and shook it. However, there was no unhappiness on her face. Instead, the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

"It just so happens that my cell phone is broken too. Let's go buy a new one together. I'll pay for it and it will be considered as reimbursement for your cell phone expenses. How do you think?"

Hey, there is still reimbursement?

Sorry xdm, I really can’t take it anymore, so I’ll take a day off today.

Actually, I felt a little uncomfortable last night. When I woke up at four in the morning, I found that my whole body was burning hot and I was sweating. I got up at eight in the morning and took my temperature, which was 38.4 degrees. I felt like I was floating when I walked.

I'm really sorry, I'm going to take a day off today... just one day off...

There will be no problem in resuming normal updates tomorrow.
