After saying this, he suddenly came to his senses and realized that he almost forgot exactly what he was saying.

"By the way, Sister Xiaolan."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xiaolan poured the milk into the glass and put it in the microwave without looking back.

Conan trotted over and raised his head.

"It's Uncle Maori, your father, Ran. He recently received an invitation from the president of a karuta club in Kyoto to do an interview. He also took the opportunity to travel there. He wanted to ask Ran if you want to go with him."

"Want to go together...?"

Xiaolan put her index finger on the corner of her lips and seemed a little conflicted.

Of course, all the entanglements were pretended. Now that she has actually recovered her memory, Xiaolan can be said to have no psychological pressure about going to Kyoto with her old father.

But you still have to install it when it’s time.

So the unicorn girl turned her inquiring gaze to her mother.

Fei Yingli "..."

"Well, if you want to go, go ahead."

After hesitating for a while, the married woman lawyer sighed softly.

"After all, there is no doubt that he is your biological father. And if I remember correctly, you have traveled to Kyoto together before, with Conan and Serabelle. Maybe you can try to recover some memories this time. But I am just saying this. The final decision is still in your hands, Ran. If you feel it is really inconvenient, it doesn't matter if you don't go."

"Well, let me think about it."

Xiaolan looked thoughtful, opened the microwave, took out the hot milk and handed it to Conan.

"Here, Conan, this is your milk."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaolan~"

"It's ok."

Xiaolan responded to the boy's sweet thanks with a gentle smile, went back to the sofa, picked up her phone, and sent a message to Serabel.

[I'm thinking, how about we go to Kyoto for this year's spring break? ]

Chapter 557 Conan feels a little green on his head

Final exams are just yesterday, and now it’s the first day of spring break.

The view turns to Kyoto.

The exhibition hall of the Shinkansen high-speed railway station was crowded with people, and the platform was filled with passengers dragging suitcases and looking down at their phones while waiting for the train to arrive.

Kogoro Mori is one of these people.

The only difference between them and most people on the platform is that those who normally wait for the train on the platform have already bought their tickets and are about to depart for their destination.

Kogoro Mori has already arrived at his destination, but... is still waiting for the bus.

The dome of the high-speed rail station is covered with transparent tempered glass, allowing sunlight from outside to easily shine onto the platform and rails.

Due to the recent warming in spring temperatures and the crowded crowds on the platform, even though it was the beginning of spring and it should have been a little cold, Kogoro Mouri, who was only wearing a suit, actually started to sweat slightly.

"Hey... Lan, who are we waiting for here? Why haven't they come yet? How about we go downstairs and sit in the lobby for a while? "

He couldn't help but complain to his daughter beside him.

This is the first time that Kogoro Mouri has been out with his daughter since Ran moved to live with Eri Kisaki.

Especially considering that his daughter's memory still shows no signs of recovery, in other words, he is still an unfamiliar stranger in Xiaolan's eyes, so Kogoro Mouri also wants to be as patient and kind as possible.

But... no matter what, there's no need to wait for someone on the platform, right?

It's noisy and stuffy with so many people gathered together. Why not go to the cafe at the high-speed rail station downstairs and order a cup of coffee while waiting?

However, Xiaolan did not intend to listen to him. She just stared at the empty railroad tracks behind the shield door in front of her and shook her head with a smile.

"It's okay, he'll be here soon, and he's already sent me a message."

he?

Conan, who was originally absent-minded, was stunned when he heard this wording.

In fact, if Xiaolan used "they" once, he wouldn't care too much, but now he heard clearly that the word was "he".

In other words, it's one person?

Who is it?

Could it be that? !

In an instant, all kinds of possibilities washed over Conan's mind like a tide, causing Conan to subconsciously take a breath.

After all, when Xiaolan still lived in the detective agency, he would ask clearly every weekend if she was going out to meet someone. If he couldn't find out clearly, he would go with her, even if he was not allowed to go, he would still go secretly.

But now Xiaolan lives with Aunt Yingli, so he would not know even if she goes out on the weekend.

Besides, because Xiaolan lost her memory and moved, she hasn't even come to Sonoko in the past two months, so there's no chance to hear any gossip from her.

Could it be that in these two months, Xiaolan...! ! !

The more Conan thought about it, the more terrifying it became. At the same time, a sweet female voice sounded over the platform broadcast of the high-speed rail station.

[The train No. xxx is about to arrive at the station, please pay attention to safety...]

"I'm coming!"

Xiaolan seemed a little excited.

Conan "..."

Seeing his childhood sweetheart like this, his ominous premonition became stronger.

The next second, accompanied by the rumbling sound of vibrating rails, the speeding high-speed train slammed into the station, slowing down all the way until it came to a complete stop, with its door tightly closed against the platform's platform screen door.

Then the double doors opened synchronously, and a large number of passengers arriving at the station poured out of the car, either carrying or dragging their suitcases, making room for the passengers on the platform to enter, completing a successful exchange.

Kogoro Mori covered the eaves with one hand and looked around.

"So Lan, where is the person you are waiting for? Is he here?"

“…Isn’t this coming?”

A calm voice came from the front. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar face.

It was Serabelle and Masumi Sera, who were also dragging suitcases.

"Ah? So it's you guys..."

Kogoro Mori opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He and Conan actually had similar ideas. After all, he had never seen his daughter like this before, and his thoughts were immediately drawn to his daughter's lifelong affairs. He had thought that he could take this opportunity to see which Kobito Osamu it was.

It turns out... that's it?

That's fine.

As if they had telepathic connection, Conan beside him also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the two people who were unaware of the inside story did not notice that the moment the two sides met, Xiaolan and Sera Masumi were both stunned at the same time.

Masumi Sera was a little slow to react, but she spoke her mind.

"Ran... and Uncle Maori and Conan, why are you here too... uh..."

The itinerary for the Kyoto trip was only decided yesterday afternoon. They packed their luggage and bought tickets overnight, so the pace was quite rushed.

And before leaving, Serabelle didn't mention anything about meeting Xiaolan in Kyoto!

what happened?

"Ah, Sera-san, you...are finally here."

Xiaolan forcibly replaced the second half of the sentence with "Why are you here too?" and barely maintained an angelic smile on her face.

She knew about the relationship between Sera Masumi and Serabelle, but she didn't hear Serabelle say that Sera-san would also come this time!

"Hmm, what a coincidence..."

At this time, Sera Masumi finally figured out the situation, but she still couldn't help but twitching her lips slightly.

Damn it, the spring break honeymoon in Kyoto that she had been looking forward to for so long! Why did this happen?

If Uncle Maori and the others were here too, they would definitely follow us no matter where we go. Now we can't be so blatant!

Well, the only consolation is that the hotel has separate rooms, at least she can stay in the same room with her brother at night.

The two girls adjusted their emotions as quickly as possible in the subtle silence.

At this moment, Kogoro Mori spoke up.

"Okay, now that we're all here, let's go to the hotel to put our luggage down first. Then I'm going to do an interview at the Nichiuri TV station in Kyoto. What do you guys think?"

"As for me, I'll go with Bei... and Sera-san and the others. After all, mom said that I've traveled to Kyoto with Sera-kun and the others before. Maybe walking around can help me remember something."

After saying this, Xiaolan leaned over, supported her knees with her hands, and said to Conan with a smile.

"Conan, why don't you go with dad? Because I heard from mom that I used to complain about dad getting drunk with other people. I'd like to trouble Conan to help keep an eye on him, okay?"

"Ah? But I..."

When Conan heard that he was going to Nichimi TV with Kogoro Mouri to be a lonely legend, he immediately became unhappy.

However, just as he was trying to struggle, Serabelle, who had just taken out her cell phone to check the received message, spoke.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway... I'm going to Nichimi TV later too."

"Is that so?"

Xiaolan was confused for less than a second and then changed her words at the speed of light.

"Then let's all go to Nichimi TV together!"

Chapter 558 Exciting Bathroom

The scene changes, and a moment later, it is in a hotel next to the Kyoto Nichimi TV branch building.

squeak--

With the subtle sound of the door hinge, the guest room door was gently pushed open from the outside.

The bright lights from outside shone into the hotel corridor, and I could vaguely see that this was a very Japanese-style guest room.

Grass-green tatami mats are laid evenly from the door to every corner of the room. Paper screens are sandwiched in the middle by finely carved wooden bars, outlining gorgeous patterns. There are also artworks and paintings hanging on the walls.

But it's not surprising. Compared with a fully modernized international metropolis like Tokyo, Kyoto has preserved Japan's traditional culture countless times better. Even if you just walk on the street, you can still feel the historical atmosphere from hundreds of years ago.

“What a big room!”

Masumi Sera stepped in first, took off her shoes at the shoe rack at the door, and then jumped on the tatami in the room in her socks.

She doesn't look like a seventeen-year-old girl at all, and gives people the feeling that she is only seven years old.

Serabelle followed her in dragging her suitcase and said casually when she saw her like this.

"Actually, the hotel here also has smaller rooms, but they are a bit too small and don't even have a separate bathroom."

"Huh? How are we supposed to take a shower if there's no bathroom?"

The girl with tiger teeth, who had already rolled over on the tatami, stopped when she heard the words, raised her head slightly and followed the voice.

She poked the floor with her index finger and pointed downstairs, lowering her voice slightly with an expression of disbelief.

"Do we have to go to some big bathhouse to take a bath?"

"Probably so."

Serabelle shrugged and gave an ambiguous answer.

After all, he had never stayed in the small room in this hotel. He just saw on the hotel booking app that there were no ordinary suites with private bathrooms, so he directly chose the high-end suite.

"Oh, that's too scary."

Sera Masumi complained.

It's not that she is against exposing her body in front of others. Anyway, no matter how much Kyoto preserves traditional Japanese culture, personal privacy is still well protected today.
