The world of science is unscientific

"Dad, let's go to the waiting room and look at the souvenirs," Ran Mouri said, already walking inside.

Kogoro Mouri raised an eyebrow and said, "There's no need to rush to see the souvenirs now, is there?"

"So cute! Daddy, look!" Ran Mouri exclaimed happily, pointing to the wall of decorations. "They even sell plum keychains!"

The bumbling detective, whose associative abilities were quite strong, immediately felt a bit of toothache.

Yusuke Suzuki led Ai Haibara in, asking, "Is there anything you like?"

“Not yet,” Ai Haibara looked around, then her eyes suddenly lit up. “Can I have that orca pendant?”

Following the direction the little girl was pointing, Suzuki Yusuke saw the orca pendant. It was black and white with a cartoonish design, and the orca had a silly and cute smile on its face. It was indeed quite nice.

Yusuke Suzuki immediately went over and bought it, and while he was at it, he also bought a dolphin necklace.

"Kawaii~~"

Ai Haibara poked the baby dolphin and the adorable orca with her finger. At that moment, she really looked like a child who had received a favorite gift.

“Wait a minute,” Yusuke Suzuki fastened the orca pendant to the necklace. “Look, this looks like an orca hunting dolphins.”

Ai Haibara: "......"

Why must we bring up hunting? Wouldn't it be better to let these two adorable creatures escape the rules of nature and be beautiful on their own?

Despite her complaints, she still put the necklace on.

"You look so beautiful, Ai," Ran Mouri said as she walked over. "Ai-chan is smiling a lot today."

Although she was a little embarrassed, Ai Haibara still gave Ran Mouri a sweet smile.

"Let's go. You can buy whatever you want when we get back," Kogoro Mouri and Conan were already waiting at the door.

After leaving the station, the group boarded a bus.

The weather is fantastic today. The sea beside the highway is a comic-book-like azure, and on the horizon, the sky transitions from pure white to light blue, with imaginative white clouds striving to play their respective roles.

Where should we go first?

The group sat in a row at the back of the bus, with Ran Mouri holding a travel brochure.

"Let's go here first."

Kogoro Mori read aloud the name of the picture: "Minakakuma Memorial Museum".

"Is it to commemorate someone?" Yusuke Suzuki asked.

“Yes, he was born in Wakayama Prefecture and is a world-class botanist,” Ai Haibara said, kneeling on the bus seat and looking through the window at the receding scenery behind the bus. “He is very famous for his research on plants and fungi.”

"Ai knows so much," Ran Mouri was about to explain, but Ai Haibara spoke first, and in great detail, "Did you learn it from TV just like Conan?"

Conan, who was being subtly insulted, was speechless.

“I read it in a book,” Ai Haibara turned around and sat up straight, looking at Yusuke Suzuki. “Can I take a nap?”

"Okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ai Haibara lay down on his lap.

To prevent Ai Haibara from falling, Yusuke Suzuki had to hold the little girl's arm down with his hand. Seriously, how could she fall asleep with all this jolting?

Upon arrival, everyone got off the vehicle.

"Sir, would you like to eat first before playing?" A middle-aged woman on the roadside greeted Kogoro Mouri. "Our Ise prawns are very famous, you know."

“It’s a bit early for dinner,” Kogoro Mori glanced at his watch. “Let’s go see the memorial first.”

It must be said that this memorial hall is indeed very well built; it feels like walking into a forest park. Ai Haibara quietly followed beside him, while Conan... suddenly strayed from the group again.

"Conan, come here!" Ran Mouri waved to Conan, who had walked onto a side road.

"That person really likes to run around."

After Conan rejoined the team, Ai Haibara made a sarcastic remark in a low voice.

"I want you to manage."

Yusuke Suzuki then took out his phone and snapped a picture of Conan's pouting expression.

you!

Conan was a little confused. Was this some kind of coordinated effort?

I must be overthinking it!

Yusuke Suzuki had been on guard against the possibility of a sudden incident, but he was surprised that he had been playing for so long today without any problems.

Is this episode purely a travelogue?

Who cares? Let's play for now. If a case happens later, I'll just take Ai Haibara and run away.

After wandering around for a while, the group finally went to eat at the roadside restaurant where they had previously been.

The sushi was fresh, and the signature Ise shrimp made for a very satisfying meal.

After dinner, we visited the restaurant's live fish exhibit before taking a boat trip on the sea.

Seeing that it was almost time, Kogoro Mouri's expression became excited. "Yusuke, let's go to the beach next!"

Ran Mouri is watching closely.

Ai Haibara stares warily.

"Well... let the teacher decide, haha." Suzuki Yusuke's mind raced, indicating that he would follow the teacher's instructions.

Bailiang Beach.

"The sand here is so white and fine!" Ran Mouri squatted down and scooped up a handful of sand.

"The sun is a bit too bright," Ai Haibara said without even looking up, stretching out her small hand. "Give me your sunglasses."

That's too ruthless! Not giving them even the slightest chance?

Yusuke Suzuki took off his sunglasses, his eyes becoming serious. "I'm going to the restroom."

He rushed into the bathroom, smoked two cigarettes, and then left.

Chapter 118 Ai Haibara Under the Beach

Upon his return, Ai Haibara confiscated his lighter and cigarettes once again.

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to take this sand back with me!" A girl nearby excitedly told her companion, "Then we can put it in a small bottle and use it as star sand."

"How old are you to still be playing these kinds of girly games?" The rather handsome man's tone suddenly became stern. "Let me ask you, didn't you see a weird keychain at the station just now, the kind with a sour plum on it?"

"Because that key ring is so cute!"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri nodded silently.

Yusuke Suzuki slapped his forehead. Here it comes, it's finally here.

The group, the attention from the main characters, and the intersection brought about by the sour plum keychain... this is the flavor of the case.

Just then, a slightly chubby boy with a camera walked over from the group opposite. "Excuse me, are you Mr. Mori?"

"I knew it! I'm a big fan of your mystery novels. I'm so lucky! May I take a picture of you?"

Before the bumbling detective could even agree, the man quickly took a series of photos, and Suzuki Yusuke instinctively pulled Haibara Ai behind him.

"Teacher, Ai and I are going to play over there for a while."

Yusuke Suzuki gave some instructions and left with Ai Haibara. Kogoro Mouri didn't even look back; he was immediately drawn to the young beauty across from him.

"Is it appropriate for us to leave like this?" Ai Haibara asked, wearing oversized sunglasses and looking cool.

"I think a case is about to happen. I brought you out mainly for travel, so it would be better to hide for now."

Ai Haibara: "......"

I didn't expect this big boy to be so superstitious. Should I go to a temple to draw a fortune stick? Getting a talisman might also be a good idea.

The beach wasn't very big. Not far along the direction they left was a protruding cliff, its sharp and fragile edges etched by the waves and wind.

Yusuke Suzuki glanced back. The bumbling detective had completely connected with the five people opposite him. Hopefully, the case will be resolved soon.

"Would you like some juice?" As they walked to the beach, Yusuke Suzuki suddenly felt a little thirsty.

Ai Haibara took off her sunglasses. "Orange juice is fine, thank you."

"Then you wait for me here, and don't wander off."

"Know it!"

Two minutes later.

"Huh? You were with Mr. Mori just now..."

“Yusuke Suzuki,” he extended his hand, the man in front of him was the same man who had greeted the bumbling detective not long ago, “Mr. Mori is my teacher, and I am currently learning reasoning from him.”

"I see," Fujiko introduced himself, then asked curiously, "By the way, why did you suddenly leave with the little girl? Did we do something wrong?"

"No, it's just that my sister is a little shy," Yusuke Suzuki said with an embarrassed smile. "She's waiting for me, so I'll take my leave now."

When they returned to the beach, Kogoro Mouri was still chatting with the group of people, looking quite happy.

"Want to go for a walk?" Suzuki Yusuke suddenly remembered that he had thrown Haibara Ai into the water in Izu before, and he didn't know whether Haibara Ai liked playing in the water or not.

"Okay."

Ai Haibara readily agreed. Today, she was wearing a light green dress with delicate white patterns, a belt adorned with pale yellow flowers, and white sandals. She was walking on the line where the sea met the sand.

Her footprints were washed away as soon as they were left, the sea breeze made her skirt cling to her legs, and the gentle waves rolled in, bringing a sense of freedom and joy to her body.

It's a pity it's not evening now, Suzuki Yusuke suddenly felt a pang of regret. If there were a sunset to complement it, it would probably create a stunning picture.

Meanwhile, Ran Mouri noticed Yusuke Suzuki and Ai Haibara, realizing that they had come out to have fun. Just then, Maki Shinjo asked them if they had any plans.

She reminded us, "We should first visit Shirahama Energy Island, then the lookout point in the sea and the Three-Dimensional Wall, and finally go around to the Thousand-Layer Rock to enjoy the sunset."

"What about tomorrow?" Shinjo Maki seemed somewhat interested in Kogoro Mouri and continued to ask.

Ran Mouri recalled, "We planned to go to Adventure World first thing in the morning."

"Ms. Maki, would you like to come with us?" Kogoro Mouri immediately extended a death invitation, which was rejected.

"Dad, it's time to go," Ran Mouri couldn't stand it anymore and pointed in Suzuki Yusuke's direction, "Yusuke and the others have gone over there!"
