Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 229 Yukiko: Oh no, my house seems to have been robbed!

Today is the weekend. In a village near Takasaki, Hiromi Yabuuchi once again takes her boyfriend's car to visit Yukiko.

The two girls strolled hand in hand in the village. The village was quiet and peaceful in the afternoon, with only the occasional barking of dogs and the chirping of cicadas.

Seeing that her friend seemed a little unhappy, Yabuuchi Hiromi's bright smile faded slightly. She asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Who offended you again?"

"Who else could it be?" Yukiko bit her lip, her face full of grievance. "That guy hasn't called me since we broke up on Monday. He must have been involved with that foreign woman and forgotten about me..."

"Not really," Yabuuchi Hiromi raised an eyebrow with a smile, "Lin Jun isn't the type to be easily tempted by new things, is he? I think he's a pretty good guy."

"That's because you don't understand him!" Yukiko stamped her feet. "That guy is always looking at the pot while having his fill!"

"So are you in the bowl or in the pot?" Yabuuchi Hiromi raised the corners of her mouth and teased with a smile.

"I've come all the way to Takasaki, so of course I'm none of them," Yukiko sighed helplessly.

The two girls walked for a while in the hot sun and were sweating. Seeing that there was a store not far away, they decided to go in and buy some ice cream to cool down.

As they reached the door, they heard a boy complaining from inside: "What bad luck! It's another duplicate card."

Yukiko and Hiromi Yabuuchi walked in and saw a little boy in a red vest. He was holding a Kamen Rider card and pouting in disappointment.

Hiromi Yabuuchi went to pick out some ice cream, while Yukiko came over to the boy. She was naturally lively and active, and over the past week, she had become familiar with the children in the village. "Xiaocao, didn't you get the card you wanted again?"

"Yeah," Shancuncao nodded gloomily, his head almost drooping to his chest, "I saved up my pocket money for a week, and I didn't expect that all the cards I drew would be duplicates."

"Wow, let me show you my luck!" Yukiko raised her chin proudly, and with confidence on her face, she took three packs of snacks that could be used to draw out Kamen Rider cards from the shelf.

After paying, Yukiko opened the first bag of snacks under Yamamura Cao's expectant gaze and took out a khaki card from it: "How is it? It must be a very rare card, right?"

"Tsk, this is obviously an ordinary card," Shancuncao curled his lips with a look of disdain on his face, "I have dozens of cards like this at home."

"Is that so?" Yukiko smiled awkwardly and opened another bag of snacks. Unexpectedly, the card she drew this time was exactly the same as the previous one.

"Sister Yukiko, your luck is really bad," Yamamura So said jokingly, "There are hundreds of cards in total, and you actually drew a duplicate so easily?"

"Damn it! I don't believe my luck today is really that bad!" Yukiko clenched her fists, encouraged herself, and then concentrated on opening the third bag of snacks.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, her face suddenly felt cold, and she shivered immediately.

Yukiko was startled and subconsciously took a step back, only then did she see clearly that it was the ice cream that Hiromi Yabuuchi was holding.

"You're an adult, why are you still playing this?" Hiromi Yabuuchi looked at the snacks for drawing cards and smiled helplessly.

"That's called being childish!" Yukiko retorted, put the ice cream on the table, and was about to open the bag of snacks.

At this moment, the store's TV screen began to play live news. Yabuuchi Hiromi took a look and quickly reached out to pull Yukiko. "Wait a minute, let me open this!" Yukiko said impatiently.

"Isn't that Lin Jun on TV, the man you've been thinking about day and night?" Yabuuchi Hiromi reminded him, "It seems he's caught the criminal again."

"Shuiichi?" Yukiko didn't care about the snacks anymore and quickly looked at the TV.

The news was broadcasting an interview with Lin Xiuyi in front of the Mihua Library.

"...I didn't come here today to look for drug dealers, but to accompany her to read a book."

"Hey, that girl Lin-kun was talking about," Yabuuchi Hiromi nudged her friend with her elbow, a hint of gossip on her face, "she should be his childhood sweetheart, right?"

"Who else could it be besides that girl with glasses?" Yukiko folded her arms and said angrily, "Yesterday, she went to Tsukikage Island with Shuichi. If I had been there..."

"It's that big brother I met before," Yamamura Cao also recognized Lin Xiuyi on TV, his eyes flashing with admiration, "He's actually on TV, so impressive!"

On the TV screen, the camera just happened to capture Kisaki Eri standing behind Hayashi Hideichi.

Yukiko took one look and immediately frowned: "Something's wrong, girls with glasses aren't usually like this."

"What's wrong?" Yabuuchi Hiromi tilted her head, her face full of confusion. "It looks normal to me."

"You haven't seen her before," Yukiko explained, "The girl with glasses usually looks like a shrew. When she sees a girl approaching Shuichi, she secretly grits her teeth. But look at her now, her eyes are fixed on Shuichi. There is no trace of a shrew on her face!"

"Something must have happened between her and Shuichi during the week I was away!"

"I say, are you overthinking it?" Yabuuchi Hiromi couldn't help but shake her head. "They're childhood sweethearts, and the girl with glasses likes Lin Jun. Isn't that normal?"

"I can't be wrong," Yukiko slapped the store counter angrily, "My luck today is really terrible!"

As she spoke, she subconsciously tore open the snacks in her hand. Yamamura Cao took a look and exclaimed in surprise, "It's a super rare gold card, Sister Yukiko, you are really lucky!"

Yukiko glanced at the brat unhappily and muttered under her breath, "What's the point of having good luck? Look, this card and this bag of snacks are all for you."

"Really? Thank you, Sister Yukiko!" Yamamura Cao thanked her in surprise, picked up the snacks and ran out cheering.

After the two girls finished watching the interview on TV, Yukiko threw a bag of snacks to her friend, picked up the remaining bag of snacks and ice cream, and walked out of the store with a depressed look on her face.

"Hey, are you really so downhearted?" Yabuuchi Hiromichi patted her friend's shoulder with a smile, "Hurry up and have some ice cream to cool down."

"Yeah," Yukiko nodded and tore open the ice cream bag. Only then did she realize that because she had been waiting so long, most of the ice cream had melted, and the sticky juice had even flowed down the bag onto her hands...
