"Tomorrow's ceremony will be as I said before. Those who hold the old version of the Royal Guard can go up to the main hall and enjoy some additional benefits."
"In addition, President Suzuki will invite some extra people, so there is no need to stop them. You should communicate with Secretary Nishino about who will be invited."
Toru Amuro had already arranged these things, but when the president spoke, Miyano Akemi still pretended to listen carefully.
"Please remember one thing. When we went to Izu last time, the young owner of the Takuya Inn, Kyogoku Makoto, do you still remember him?"
"The young man who beat up Amuro and the others and turned out to be even darker than Amuro."
Miyano Akemi couldn't help but the corners of her mouth trembled, and she almost laughed. The president was too narrow-minded. What does it mean to be darker than Amuro?
"After the ceremony, you take him to the small courtyard in the back mountain to wait for me. I have something to tell him."
Miyano Akemi nodded seriously.
"How is your kagura dance practice going? Are you a little pressed for time?"
Miyano Akemi took out a pen and paper and wrote seriously: The time is indeed a bit tight, but fortunately, I know it before there is a shrine maiden, so I arranged for her to be the main dancer, and the others to be backup dancers, so it will be faster.
Hanyu Qing'an was a little surprised. There were only eighteen shrine maidens randomly recruited from the funeral parlor, and there were such talents among them. Not bad.
"Okay, just take care of it. The focus is not on them. As long as no big mistakes happen, the rest will be done slowly."
Hanyu Qing'an thought about it, and it seemed that he had nothing else to explain. The main thing was that he was just a hands-off shopkeeper, and he didn't know much about the specific affairs, so he didn't know how to intervene.
"There's nothing else to do. You should go back and rest early."
Miyano Akemi nodded, but did not leave. She just stood there and waited for Hanyu Kiyosu to leave first.
Hanyu Qing'an didn't show much pretense, waved his hand to open the portal and went home directly.
However... there was no one at home, so he didn't tell Yuanzi about going to fight monsters, he just said he was going out to do some errands.
I picked up my phone and sent an email to Suzuki Sonoko. I received a reply after a while. It turned out that she was playing with Yuzu at Mori's house next door.
Not only them, but also people from the Junior Detective Group were there. It sounded quite lively.
Hanyu Qing'an changed back into his daily clothes, opened the door and went downstairs to watch the excitement and relax.
Knocking on the door of Mouri's house, noisy sounds suddenly flooded into my ears, chirping, laughing and joking, and Moori Kogoro's scolding, all intertwined together.
"It's really lively, no wonder the big ones and the little ones aren't at home." Hanyu Qing'an smiled.
Mao Lilan said a little apologetically: "Conan, this kid, told the story about the shrine opening ceremony, and Genta and the others also want to go together."
Hanyu Qing'an raised his eyebrows, "The opening of the shrine is open to the public. This is okay, but this kid Conan should be educated well."
Mao Lilan nodded knowingly, with a murderous look in his smile, "That's right. It seems that the intensity of education recently is not enough. I will try my best."
"Qing'an-kun~ Come here and see if Yuzi's clothes are pretty~"
Suzuki Sonoko stretched her neck and waved to the door. When Hanyu Kiyosu entered the room, she saw that Yuzu was wearing a miniature miko costume that she got from who knows where, showing off to the other children with a happy face.
Gu San
Genta and Mitsuhiko were not very interested, but Ayumi's eyes lit up, "Conan, do you think the miko uniform looks good? I want to try it too."
After hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko made a weird sound and said, "Okay, I'll ask Secretary Nishino to help you prepare a dress. You can wear it to Conan at the opening ceremony tomorrow."
Mao Lilan smiled and knelt down on the mat, echoing: "That's great, Conan, isn't it? Ayumi is so cute, she must look beautiful in a miko costume."
Hanyu Qing'an almost laughed out loud when he saw this scene. This was not giving Conan a way to live. It was obviously impossible for Mao Lilan to be jealous of a seven-year-old girl. She was just trying to squeeze Conan.
Conan turned pale and glared at Suzuki Sonoko. The latter had been teasing him and stumbling over him in recent days, so he probably knew something.
Several times he wanted to confess to Xiaolan again, open the skylight, speak openly, and have a good communication. However, every time Xiaolan deliberately avoided it or changed the subject.
The situation has become very clear. Xiaolan must have heard clearly what was said that night. She is sulking now. As long as she remains angry, this kind of life will not end.
But what can Conan do? Mao Lilan just pretends not to know, treats him like a primary school student Conan, and forces him to act cute and coquettish. He can do nothing but endure and please.
Conan slapped his face on the table in despair. Ayumi gave him a strange look, then looked at Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan. She always felt that something was not right.
But... the miko costume is really beautiful~
"Sonoko, ask Secretary Nishino to prepare more clothes. I think Conan should look pretty good in it." Seeing how miserable Conan was, Hanyu Kiyosu couldn't help but add insult to injury.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up, and they agreed in unison: "What a great idea."
Ayumi was stunned for a moment, Conan... wearing a miko costume seemed... quite interesting.
Conan was heartbroken and cast a desperate look at Hanyu Qing'an.
After playing around for a while, when it was almost nine o'clock, Yuzu was like a chicken pecking at rice, her head was biting bit by bit. Moori Kogoro cursed, but he still went down and drove the children home.
His car was finally repaired and it cost a lot of money.
Hanyu Kiyosu held Yuzu in his arms, and also took Suzuki Sonoko home, who was still full of emotions. After settling Yuzu, the two went to the courtyard to relax.
I didn't go to the hot springs tonight, I just sat and chatted under the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard.
"Let me tell you, Conan has been so funny to me in the past two days... Hahahaha~ The way he acts like a baby is so funny, especially when I think of him actually being that guy, I can't help but laugh until my stomach hurts."
Suzuki Sonoko buried her head on Hanyu Qing'an's shoulder, her body twitching, and those who didn't know thought she was crying.
"After discussing it with Xiaolan, I have been playing tricks on him in different ways these past few days, which is really a relief. This guy is such a fool. For no reason, he did himself like this, which makes Xiaolan worried."
"By the way, Mr. Qing'an, can you solve Conan's shrinking situation?"
Hanyu Qing'an listened quietly to her chatter for a long time, shook his head slightly and said: "His situation is quite special, and I don't have any good solution for the time being. After all, his shrinking is a technological method, not a mysterious method..."
Suzuki Sonoko put away her smile and sighed, "In this case, what will Xiaolan do... Do we really have to wait for him to grow up? That will take at least ten years, and Xiaolan will also grow old."
"Although Xiaolan didn't complain to me, she should be able to think of this."
Hanyu Qing'an rubbed her head and comforted her: "Even in the worst case scenario, I will still be here. Disease and aging are not big problems here."
