169 Hot Springs Together

Mouri Kogoro rushed out of the room and ran to see the female star. Maori Lan also followed him enthusiastically. Conan looked at Yuzu eating in boredom and yawned.

"Brother Conan, you eat too."

Looking at the snack Yuzu handed over, Conan refused, but he was still happy in his heart. At least it was much cuter than the three kiddies from the Junior Detective Team, right?

Well, he's much cuter than a guy with a sharp tongue.

"Isn't Detective Mori's favorite star Okino Yoko? Why are you so interested in Kinoshita Akiko?"

As Hanyu Kiyosu stood up as he spoke, he estimated that the achievements of the two Shinigami, one big and one small, on this trip should have fallen on this female star.

Suzuki Sonoko accompanied him and explained: "Didn't I tell you before? The drama "Snow Girl Love" has been very popular recently, especially Akiko Kinoshita, who plays the leading role of Snow Girl, is even more popular."

"And Uncle Kogoro has always been interested in all the beautiful female stars, but Yoko Okino is his favorite."

Hanyu Qing'an nodded, this is true, the Maori detective has no taboo on meat and vegetables, as long as she is a beautiful woman.

"My detective Mouri Kogoro, Ms. Kinoshita's performance is really great, especially the scene where the snow girl jumps into the lake at the end, in a straight line..."

Mouri Kogoro was so eloquent that he used his limited vocabulary to strike up conversations, which made both Mouri Lan and Suzuki Sonoko unable to help but have black lines on their heads. They really didn't make much progress.

"Actually, it was not me who jumped, but Yoko." Akiko Kinoshita gestured to her companions around her with her hand.

Yoko Asanuma introduced herself: "Hello, I am a stuntman."

"Yoko is my exclusive stuntman. In other words, she is like my shadow." Akiko Kinoshita made a dangerous statement.

Hanyu Qing'an leaned into Suzuki Sonoko's ear and reminded: "Something may happen tonight. You can stay in the room with me tonight."

Hanyu Qing'an and his party booked two rooms. It was originally agreed that Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko would sleep in one room with Yuzu, and Hanyu Qing'an, Mouri Kogoro and Conan would sleep in the same room.

Suzuki Sonoko glanced at him sideways and understood what he meant. She hesitated and asked, "What about Yuzu?"

Hanyu Qing'an said: "The child has a lot of sleep. Now he is so sleepy that he can't open his eyes. I'm afraid I won't be able to wake him up even if I scream for a while."

"It's not okay... Xiaolan and the others are also here..." Suzuki Sonoko hesitated.

"I don't want to sleep in the same room with Detective Maori. His snoring is so noisy that I can't sleep at all."

Suzuki Sonoko nodded, agreeing to this reason, and regarded Hanyu Qing'an's suggestion that something might happen as an excuse.

"Excuse me, where is the restroom? It's really cold today." Akiko Kinoshita asked the landlady with a little shyness.

Before the landlady could answer, Yoko Asanuma who was with her said, "Go straight along the corridor, and it's on the left at the end."

The big star went to the bathroom, and Mouri Kogoro had no time to chat, so he could only go back to the room angrily. Hanyu Kiyosu followed suit with his arms around Suzuki Sonoko's shoulders.

"I wonder if there is soju here. The weather is so cold. It's a good time to drink some wine to keep warm. Hanyu-kun, do you want to join us?" Mouri Kogoro couldn't sit still for a minute and became restless again.

Mao Lilan held his shoulders and forced him to sit down, "We are here to ski. Dad, do you want to get drunk in the hotel and miss the skiing tomorrow?"

Mouri Kogoro thought the same thing, "It's better to go home and drink."

"Don't even think about going home!" Mao Lilan fumed.

"I've eaten~" Yuzi touched her round belly, trying hard to fight against the heavy eyelids, and said vaguely.

"After eating, you must brush your teeth before going to bed." Hanyu Qing'an reminded.

"Yeah..." Yuzi agreed happily, but she was already about to fall down on the tatami.

"I'll take her to brush her, otherwise I'm afraid she won't be able to wake her up in a while." Suzuki Sonoko got up and carried Yuzu to the bathroom.

Hanyu Qing'an also stood up again and took the used plate. It was not that he wanted to go with Sonoko, but he had other things to do.

"Conan, are you sleepy? If you are, go and brush your toothbrush quickly." Mao Lilan turned to look at Conan.

Conan was not sleepy, but Mao Lilan had already pulled him out without any explanation. He happened to be with Yuanzi, and the two of them could still talk.

Mouri Kogoro was the only one left in the room, watching TV out of boredom.

After Hanyu Qingan came out, he followed the sound and found the proprietress who was busy in the kitchen. He brought over the plate and teacup that the grapefruit had just finished eating.

"Ah, it's Onmyoji-sama, just leave it to me."

The landlady took it at a loss. Although she didn't completely believe in those mysterious things, she always talked about it. If she said too much, she would inevitably believe it.

Therefore, I have special respect for Hanyu Kiyosu who has shown miraculous abilities, especially since he also claims to be an Onmyoji - there have always been many rumors about Onmyoji.

"It's okay, I just stopped by and wanted to ask something."

The proprietress thought that he still wanted to ask about Yuki Onna, so she said: "Master Onmyoji, I really don't know where Yuki Onna lives. Promoting this legend is something that all the operators of the ski resort have agreed upon..."

As she spoke, she hurriedly explained: "This is not a complete lie. There really was a legend of the Snow Girl here, but that was all many years ago. We just moved here to run this B&B. You know

There are not many. If you need, I can introduce some local elderly people..."

Hanyu Qingan comforted him kindly: "I'm not here to ask this, but if it's convenient, I'll trouble you."

The landlady relaxed a little and then asked: "Then what do you want to ask?"

Hanyu Qing'an looked around, and then asked in a low voice: "The hot springs here..."



An hour later, Hanyu Qing'an pulled Suzuki Sonoko out of the room.

"What are you doing? I'm having fun watching it." Suzuki Sonoko asked with a puzzled look on her face. She was watching a rakugo program with Mao Lilan.

"Have you forgotten what we are here for?" Hanyu Qing'an asked.

"ski?"

"Let's go to the hot springs."

Without saying a word, Hanyu Kiyosu took Suzuki Sonoko to the room where Yuzu slept, carefully took out their bathrobes and other items, and then walked towards the hot spring in the backyard of the hotel.

"Wait a minute, this hot spring is obviously separated for men and women, right? Do you want to enter the women's bath with me?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at him warily.

Hanyu Qingan smiled and said: "It's okay. I just asked the boss lady. Only the two of us can use it tonight, so there is no problem at all."

Suzuki Sonoko blushed, then looked at the corridor warily, and pulled him in, "Then come in quickly, don't let anyone see you, we won't be able to tell you when the time comes."



In the kitchen, the proprietress watched a group of small paper figures busy helping her with her work. She was worried that they would break if soaked in water, and she pinched her thighs.

It seems like I didn’t have a dream. It turns out there really is an Onmyoji. So does the Snow Girl also...
