Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

robot?

Robot 552, who was pushed a little deeper into the water, blinked.

Tiny bubbles overflowed from the other person's breathing mouthpiece and burst on the sea surface.

He was mumbling a lot and had no idea what the other person was trying to say.

552 wanted to take it off and talk directly, but was afraid of scaring Yun Xianhe, so he paused and didn't care whether he could talk to the adults anymore.

He then pulled the bag from his waist and held it in front of the other person like offering a treasure.

The huge shells appear colorful in the sunlight.

The bag that was lifted out of the sea was leaking water, making a rustling sound.

The crisp sound of shells colliding makes people feel inexplicably happy.

Yun Xianhe looked at the big bag of shells, shook his head, and said softly:

"I can't have it."

They don't know each other.

Also, you can't accept other people's kindness without reason.

Upon hearing this, 552 paused, and the memories of his creation emerged from his electronic chip.

This state... is very similar to the personality of the first generation robot.

So this is what their parents look like when they have complete amnesia?

552 scratched his head underwater, then his eyes lit up and he pointed at Yun Xianhe's clothes pocket.

Following the other person's movements, Yun Xianhe reached into his pocket and took out a bag of biscuits and a stone.

The small biscuits were given to him by Zhu Fu Jingguang when he set out in the morning.

The stone was picked up not long ago.

Upon seeing this, the underwater robot 552 made some sign language gestures.

Although he didn't remember when he learned it, Yun Xianhe, who could understand it, blinked and handed over two things:

"Give."

Seeing the other party's delighted look after getting it and treating it as a treasure, Yun Xianhe was stunned for a moment.

Do robots like cookies too?

By the way, can robots eat cookies?

If 552 were asked to answer these two questions, the answer would definitely be no.

It can be eaten, but it is not necessary.

As mechanical bodies developed from a higher-dimensional world, the energy that maintains their operation is not even electricity.

As for things like cookies, the most you can do is collect them.

But these cookies were given to me by adults themselves!

Follow the stone!

552 treated the biscuits and stones as treasures and put them into another small package he carried with him. Then he handed the bag of shells to Yun Xianhe.

Yun Xianhe stared at the other person's eyes for a while and asked back:

"Do you want to exchange with me?"

552 nodded repeatedly underwater.

Seeing this, Yun Xianhe rummaged in his bucket for a while, found two ordinary stones and handed them over.

"Give."

552 doesn't care what the stone looks like. As long as it is given by his parents, it is the best.

The two completed the transaction happily.

In order to avoid Yun Xianhe having to explain himself when he took the backpack out, 552 thoughtfully put all the shells into Yun Xianhe's small bucket.

Fill the entire bucket to the brim.

Conan, who was playing in the shallow water out of boredom, watched Yun Xianhe bending over to study kelp (? ), and occasionally throwing a few stones into the sea.

Take a look at the time.

Well, it's almost lunch time.

Mr. Midorikawa had booked lunch at a nearby restaurant before coming, so they could go there in advance.

Brother Xianhe must be hungry.

Thinking of this, Conan put his hands on his mouth and shouted at the other party:

"Brother Xianhe, we should go have lunch."

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe was stuffing the last shell into the bucket.

552 was very happy to get several small stones.

When he heard someone calling Yun Xianhe, he knew it was time for him to leave.

Thinking of this, 552 waved to Yun Xianhe, and swam away quickly, pulling the kelp floating nearby.

Because Conan didn't hear Yun Xianhe's reply, he was about to move closer and happened to see the kelp disappearing before his eyes.

"??"

Can kelp run?!

…How is that possible!

Feeling something was wrong, Conan took a deep breath and dived into the sea, looking in the direction where the kelp was escaping (?).

However, he only saw a string of dense bubbles caused by the waves and the swaying kelp leaves.

Other than that, there is nothing.

Could it be that he saw it wrong?

Before Conan could take a closer look, a hand reached out from the side and picked him up from the water like a kitten.

"Danger."

When Conan realized what was happening, he found himself sitting on Yun Xianhe's arm. He coughed twice and looked up at Yun Xianhe:

"Brother Xianhe, was there something under the water just now?"

The person being asked blinked, slowly turned his head away and looked at the sky in the distance.

It's obvious that he's saying 'I know, but I won't tell you'.

Seeing this, Conan's mouth twitched slightly.

He looked at Yun Xianhe, who pursed his lips and said nothing, and asked:

"Can't you tell me?"

"Ah."

"…All right."

Conan didn't worry too much about it, thinking it was probably just some small animal that pulled the kelp away.

It can't be a human...

Shake your head to get rid of those strange thoughts.

Conan struggled a bit and jumped back into the sea, swimming towards the shore while saying:

"Let's go, Brother Xianhe, we should go back for lunch."

"it is good."

Zhu Fujingguang and his companions who returned from the other side of the coast had a great harvest.

Matsuda Jinpei, who was walking over with a water tank, said half-jokingly when he saw Yun Xianhe carrying a bucket full of shells:

"It seems that you have made a good harvest, Xianhe!"

"Hey? Let me see, let me see!"

Kenji Hagiwara, who was a step behind him, came over.

When I saw Yun Xianhe's bucket of shells, I was actually a little shocked:

"So many?! Xiaoyun, did you pick up all the shells nearby?"

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe shook his head and explained:

“Only the good-looking ones.”

Jinpei Matsuda chuckled as he put down the water tank.

Hagiwara Kenji rubbed his chin and said with emotion:

"I didn't expect our Xiaoyun is also obsessed with looks."

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe blinked and shook his head to explain:

"I'm not."

Conan, who was following him, laughed twice and said:

"Brother Xianhe should just take what he is interested in."

As he spoke, he showed the two men the stones they had given him.

The palm-sized stone, apart from being a little round, was ugly compared to the bucket of colorful shells.

Matsuda Jinpei joked:

"Not bad, very unique."

Hagiwara Kenji half-armed Yun Xianhe's shoulders and asked with amusement:

"Why did Xiaoyun give Conan this stone?"

"nice."

Upon hearing this, Hagiwara Kenji's mouth twitched:

"you sure?"

The three of them looked at the stone again, but for a long time they couldn't see what was so beautiful about it.

Seeing that they didn't know what to say, Yun Xianhe stepped forward, took the stone from Conan's hand, and then found Zhu Fu Jingguang who was standing nearby.

"Do you have a hammer?"

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, Zhu Fu Jingguang still found a small hammer and handed it to the other party.

Under the curious gaze of the crowd, Yun Xianhe smashed the edge of the stone with a hammer.

When the gray outer shell shattered, the ocean-colored gem inside was exposed to the sunlight.

The four people who witnessed everything were stunned.

Yun Xianhe stuffed the stone back into Conan's hands and said with a faint smile:

"Doesn't it look good?"
