Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 137: Wood is better than a playboy

In the matter of the love letter, Lin Xiuyi was defeated miserably with a score of 3 to 1.

For Eri Kisaki and the other two, Yukiko Fujimine was not only not wrong, but she actually did a good thing.

With the support of her companions, Fujimine Yukiko became more and more assertive. Even when Lin Xiuyi asked, she refused to tell him the girl's name.

Lin Xiuyi had no choice but to give up collecting the letters. He had only heard two voices at the time and didn't know their identities. He couldn't ask the girls one by one whether they had received his reply, right?

After school in the afternoon, Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki went to do their own things. Thinking that Yukiko Fujimine had no club activities today, Shuichi Hayashi asked her to go back to the izakaya together.

"I have something to do later, you go back first!"

After hurriedly replying, Yukiko Fujimine picked up her schoolbag and trotted out of the classroom.

Lin Xiuyi looked puzzled, and then he remembered that Yukiko and Takahashi Tomoka had gathered together in the afternoon and were talking about something mysteriously.

He had an idea and hurriedly chased after him.

When I arrived at the entrance of the teaching building, I found that Yukiko Fujimine and Tomoka Takahashi were together again.

Lin Xiuyi hid on the other side of the shoe cabinet and eavesdropped on the two girls talking.

"Didn't Mr. Lin say that the psychic was a fraud?" Takahashi Tomoka asked, puzzled. "Why did you insist on going over to see him?"

"It's because she's a liar that we can't just ignore her," Fujimine Yukiko said righteously, "I don't know how many students have been deceived by her these days. We must expose her identity."

"This... isn't good, is it?" Takahashi Tomoka said worriedly, "If things get out of hand, with just the two of us..."

"What are you afraid of? Isn't that psychic also a woman?" Fujimine Yukiko said nonchalantly, "Can't the two of us beat her alone?"

"Or, let's talk to Lin Jun. We will feel more at ease with him around." After saying that, Takahashi Tomoka prepared to return to the classroom.

"No, don't tell him!" Fujimine Yukiko opened her arms and stood in front of her friend. "That guy Shuichi is so arrogant. Even though we're almost the same age, the way he talks to me and the way he looks at me always treat me like a child."

"I must accomplish this task myself, and then see what else he has to say!"

"You're going to argue about this?" Takahashi Tomoka rolled her eyes. "It's obviously a good thing to have a boy who treats you like a child. Unlike my boyfriend, I have to worry about everything and treat him like a child!"

"Kexiu trusts the girl with glasses and never nags her," Fujimine Yukiko said unconvincedly, "How am I worse than the girl with glasses? Why does he worry about me so much?"

"Maybe you just don't know it," Takahashi Tomoka shrugged, "Lin Jun and Fei-san are childhood sweethearts, and I don't know how to pamper her in private."

"Okay, let's stop talking about this!" Fujimine Yukiko said with an unhappy look on her face. "Anyway, I must accomplish this today by myself!"

"What?" Takahashi Tomoka teased, "Are you unhappy to hear that Lin-kun and Fei-san are childhood sweethearts?"

"If you want Lin Jun to stop treating you like a child, why bother with so much trouble?"

"Find an opportunity to be in the same room with him, then take off your clothes. With your figure, how could he still treat you like a child!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Fujimine Yukiko blushed, "You should try this method in front of your boyfriend first, and then tell me."

"That guy is a blockhead. He didn't even ask me out if I didn't take the initiative," Takahashi Tomoka complained. "If he hadn't waited for more than three hours downstairs of my house to confess his love, I would have broken up with him a long time ago."

"A piece of wood is better than a playboy," Fujimine Yukiko snorted. "That guy Shuichi always meets beautiful girls wherever he goes. Just look at yesterday..."

The two girls chatted and laughed as they left the teaching building and headed towards the school gate. Lin Xiuyi looked at their backs and wanted to let them go and go back to the izakaya, but after taking two steps, he still felt uneasy.

"You're not a child, but what adult would cause such trouble for themselves?"

Lin Xiuyi shook his head and secretly followed.

……

Takahashi Tomoka only learned about psychics from her female classmates and had never visited one herself.

She only knew that the female psychic was in an underground passage in 2-chome, but she didn't know the exact location.

The two girls could only ask and search one by one.

After walking for almost an hour, Fujimine Yukiko and Takahashi Tomoka finally found the female psychic.

She was a middle-aged woman in her forties, with loose hair and covered in all kinds of strange little accessories.

Her stall was set up at the corner of the underground passage. On the table stood a crystal ball that had been wiped clean to a bright shine and had many red stains on the base, a dagger that was ornately decorated and even a bit bulky, a stack of tarot cards, and some strange little props.

When Fujimine Yukiko and Takahashi Tomoka found her, there were already many girls gathered in front of the stall.

The two did not step forward immediately, but stood aside and watched the fun.

The girls in front were all fortune-telling, wanting to know when they would meet their Prince Charming.

The female psychic either uses tarot cards or a crystal ball, and soon makes them go home satisfied.

Soon, it was the turn of a girl who was obviously younger. She had a pale face and a thin body. She was wearing the same style of school uniform as Orikasa Midori. They should be from the same school, but the hem of her skirt was not as long.

Standing in front of the psychic's booth, the girl hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Master, my stomach has been aching lately. Do I need to go to the hospital?"

"Stomachache?" The female psychic narrowed her eyes. "Let me use divination to check for you first."

After saying that, she shuffled the tarot cards on the table and then asked the girl to draw one.

The girls around her started talking in low voices after seeing the tarot cards the girl had drawn.
"It's the Death card. She has really bad luck."

"There are so many cards, and I actually drew this one..."

"Death God, is it really going to kill someone?"

……

The noise of people talking made the girl tremble uncontrollably, and her head drooped lower and lower.

"This isn't an auspicious card," the female psychic said in a strange tone. "Death symbolizes endings and rebirths. You must have experienced the end of a life recently, but after that, the aura of death didn't leave you. Instead, it continues to haunt you."

"Master, I, I just want to ask, do I need to go to the hospital?" The girl asked tremblingly, "If I don't go to the hospital, will it get worse?"

"This question can't be answered with just tarot cards. I'll need to use my magic power and lifespan to peer into the future with my crystal ball!" the psychic said slowly and gloomily, "Everything in the world can be exchanged for something of equal value, as long as you pay the price..."
