Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 374: Running Towards Dusk 21

Back in the villa lobby, As soon as Toru Amuro opened the door, he saw Kogoro Mori and the screenwriter Yokoyama drinking and chatting in the lobby.

The two people who were chatting saw Toru Amuro carrying someone back and were stunned for a moment. They thought that Akikawa Sarina was injured, so they decided to get up and see if the two people needed their help.

"Amuro, what happened to Akikawa?" Kogoro Mori stood up, although he also had a little guess that these two people were just joking.

Amuro Toru glanced sideways at his girlfriend who buried her head in his shoulder pretending to be shy and didn't look up, then smiled and said to Maori Kogoro: "Sarina is fine, she's just a little tired from walking."

Maori Kogoro, who came over, sat back immediately without even glancing at Akikawa Sarina who was shy from his perspective, and said to Amuro Toru: "Then go upstairs and have a rest. I'll ask Miss Nishikawa to bring something up to you later."

Kogoro Mori also knew that Akikawa Sarina was a little weak, and knew that Amuro Toru would definitely take care of her, so he told them directly.

Amuro was transparent about Maori Kogoro's kindness, "Thank you, Mr. Maori, for bothering you."

Kogoro Mori did not answer him, but waved at him, indicating that Toru Amuro should carry the person upstairs and rest quickly.

The person who was about to go upstairs happened to meet Nomura, who claimed to be a mystery enthusiast, who came out from the east half of the second floor. When he saw Amuro Toru carrying someone upstairs, he was also stunned for a moment, "Mr. Amuro, do you need help?"

Toru Amuro also smiled and thanked the other party for his help and refused it.

This person just asked casually out of politeness, and seeing that Amuro Toru didn't need help, he went downstairs as Amuro Toru was going upstairs.

Toru Amuro continued walking up to the third floor without stopping.

At the platform of the stairs on the third floor, Toru Amuro, who was about to return to his room, saw a figure on the east side. Akikawa Sarina no longer pretended to be shy and turned her head to glance at the man's back.

Both of them recognized the cartoonist Morimoto Mika based on her clothes, but Morimoto Mika seemed to be too focused and did not look back.

Toru Amuro and Sarina Akikawa just glanced at her, looked away, and continued to carry their girlfriend back to the room.

When they returned to the room, Akikawa Sarana didn't wait for Amuro Toru to let her go. She directly loosened her arms that were around his neck and slid down his back.

"Be careful." As Amuro Toru spoke, he slowly loosened his hand to prevent her from jumping down suddenly and spraining her foot.

Toru Amuro first helped Akikawa Sarina take off her warm gear, and then he took off his own coat, which was almost a decoration and had been open all the time, and hung it aside.

Akikawa Sarina, who was really tired, walked directly to the sofa and lay down.

Toru Amuro looked at his girlfriend lying down, shook his head helplessly, and took a thin blanket to cover Akikawa Sarina.

Akikawa Sarina, who was infected by the system, took Amuro Toru's hand and sat next to her, then rested her head on his thigh, "You are becoming more and more like Morobushi, just like a caring male mother."

Toru Amuro was speechless for a moment. He raised his hand and pinched her cheek with very light force, imitating his girlfriend's usual action to express his dissatisfaction.

"Why does it look like Hiro?" Of course he knew his girlfriend was teasing him on purpose, so he played along and expressed his jealousy.

Knowing that he was expressing his dissatisfaction, she didn't expect that it was not because of the boy's mother but because he said he looked like Morobushi. Akikawa Sarana laughed out loud. She raised her hand and touched someone's puffed-up cheek, "You can be jealous of this."

Amuro Toru let go of his girlfriend's cheek, raised his hand to grab her fingers that were playing tricks on his face and held them in his hand, "Of course I'm jealous, Hiro has been more popular with girls than me since he was a child, and you said I'm like a boy's mother, and just now you said I wasn't as careful as I am now..."

Listening to him listing everything one by one, Akikawa Sarina was about to sit up, but instead she didn't sit up, he took the opportunity to hold her in his arms.

Amuro Toru put one hand around her waist and held the finger that had just been playing tricks on his face with the other hand. He leaned over from behind Akikawa Sarina and whispered in her ear, "Come to think of it, Hiro has always been more popular since childhood."

Upon hearing this, Akikawa Sarina stopped what she was doing and leaned relaxedly into Amuro Toru's arms.

Like her, Ling rarely mentioned his childhood, and his attitude when talking about his family was almost the same as hers. The few times he mentioned these things, he just passed them by in passing.

All she knew about Zero's childhood was that he was bullied by other kids his own age because of his hair and skin color, and that he slowly fought back.

What she knew afterwards was what happened after he met Zhu Fu...

Akikawa Sarina's eyebrows softened and she said softly, "I'm different. I like golden hair like yours. Zero's hair is like the sun~"

Hearing this, Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment, and the voice of Akikawa Sarina sounded in his head. It was the voice of Sarina whom he had just met due to an accident seven years ago, "Furuya-kun's hair color is really beautiful! It's like the sun~ Looking at Furuya-kun like this is like bathing in the sun."

After Amuro Toru came back to his senses, he raised the corner of his mouth, with a smile in his eyes, "I was defeated by you, Sarina, you are the one who talks sweetly."

Hearing the smile in his words, Akikawa Sarana snorted, "Of course, but what I said is all sincere, unlike some glib master who has absorbed the best of many schools."

A certain master blinked and was about to say something when he heard a knock on the door. Thinking of what Kogoro Mori had said before, Akikawa Sarana sat up straight and motioned Toru Amuro to open the door first.

Toru Amuro let go of the person in his arms, stood up, tidied up his clothes that had just been messed up, and then walked towards the door.

When I opened the door, it turned out to be the butler Mr. Kitajima.

Looking at the tray in the other person's hand, Toru Amuro quickly reached out to take it, "Thank you, Mr. Kitajima."

Butler Kitajima smiled and said you're welcome. "By the way, there is a medicine box under the cupboard in the room. It contains some commonly used medicines. They were just purchased and placed in the room a few days ago. Mr. Amuro doesn't have to worry about the date."

Toru Amuro nodded. He and Sarina saw the medicine box when they checked the room, and it was indeed brand new and unopened.

"Mr. Amuro and Ms. Akikawa, if you need anything else, please let me know. In order not to affect this event, the doctor will be staying at the foot of the mountain on standby.

The new lady, Ms. Ochi, is also a doctor. She asked me to tell everyone that she can help if there is any need. "

"Thank you, Mr. Kitajima. If we need any help, we will ask for it." Toru Amuro continued to nod his thanks politely and gently.

"Then I won't disturb Mr. Amuro and Miss Akikawa. Goodbye, Mr. Amuro." The butler bowed slightly to Toru Amuro.

"Goodbye, Mr. Kitajima."

------

After everyone left, Toru Amuro closed the door and returned with a tray to Akikawa Sarina, who had regained her serious state and was sitting on the sofa.

He placed the tray on the table in front of the two people. "Black tea, grape mousse and caramel cookies. This should be the afternoon tea originally prepared for everyone."

After saying that, he gently touched the teapot with the back of his hand, and it was still very hot to the touch. Then he picked up the teacup beside him, poured two cups of black tea, and handed one to Akikawa Sarana, "It should have been brewed just now. It's just right to drink some hot tea to warm your body."

Akikawa Sarana took the teacup from him and said with a smile, "Hot tea warms the body, and there are desserts that can replenish your energy. Mr. Butler is really thoughtful."

Amuro Toru had already sat down next to Akikawa Sarina again, and Akikawa Sarina leaned on him. He relaxed his body to make his girlfriend lean on him more comfortably, and at the same time, he held a plate of caramel cookies in his hand and pinched one to feed the person in his arms.

The cookies are made very delicate and small, just the right size for one bite.

After eating a few pieces comfortably, Akikawa Sarana pushed his hand away to indicate that she didn't want to eat anymore. Amuro Toru then took the opportunity to put the biscuit he had just pinched into his own mouth.

Feeling that the temperature of the tea was suitable for drinking, Akikawa Sarana blew on it gently, then took small sips. At the same time, she withdrew her gaze from the system monitoring system to the downstairs.

At the same time, in a corner of the villa.

Conan seized the opportunity and acted alone quietly, and happened to meet the novelist Ms. Sakai Kyoko who was chatting with another maid in the villa, Mika Nishikawa.

Seeing two people chatting, he subconsciously hid behind the bushes. After realizing his behavior, Conan scratched his head, but since he was already hiding, he did not go out again, but just quietly observed the two people chatting in the distance.

Seeing that the two people had serious expressions on their faces and did not seem to be having a normal chat, Conan tried more carefully to identify their lip shapes.

Akagi Mountain...Legend...Retribution...

Looking at these words that frequently appeared in the mouths of the two people, Conan's expression gradually changed.

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang. Although it was a vibration, it also alarmed two people not far away.

Fortunately, Conan reacted immediately. He pretended that he had just come over and did not see the two people over there and answered the call.

"Moshimoshi, Sister Xiaolan, what's the matter?"

Ran Mouri, who had just discovered that Conan had disappeared again, became a little angry when she heard Conan's tone that showed no fear or regret about his secret running away.

"Conan! Where have you been again?!"

Conan could tell from Ran Maoli's anger, and he hurriedly explained, with a hint of grievance in his tone, "Sister Xiaolan, I came back to use the restroom, and then I accidentally got lost. I'm looking for someone to take me back to the hall."

He learned this trick from Mr. Amuro. He saw Mr. Amuro acting like a spoiled child to Miss Akikawa in this way on a cruise ship before. Later, Miss Akikawa easily forgave Mr. Amuro, so what he learned must be useful!

Hearing Conan say this, Mao Lilan paused for a moment and then turned from anxiety to worry, "Lost? Are there any special decorations around you? Just stand still, I will go find Mr. Kitajima and ask him to take me to find you."

Conan could already hear footsteps behind him, and he deliberately said loudly: "Are there any special decorations around me? Sister Xiaolan, wait for me, let me take a look..."

"Isn't this Conan-kun?" The voice of the maid Mika Nishikawa came from behind Conan, and both Conan and Ran Mouri heard the voice.

"Great, someone is with you." When Mouri Ran heard that someone was with Conan, she was instantly relieved.

Conan turned around and pretended that he had just seen two people. "Yes, it's Sister Nishikawa and Aunt Sakai. Sister Xiaolan, don't worry about me. I'll ask them to take me back to the hall later. I'll hang up first. See you later, Sister Xiaolan."

After saying that, Conan hung up the phone in a hurry without waiting for Mao Lilan to say anything else.

"Good afternoon, Sister Nishikawa, Aunt Sakai." When introducing themselves before, Kyoko Sakai took the initiative to let Conan, who was still a child, call her aunt.

The two of them also nodded and said good afternoon to Conan.

Conan scratched his head in embarrassment. "I went to the bathroom earlier and got lost. Can you ask Sister Nishikawa or Aunt Sakai to take me back to the lobby?"

The two of them naturally would not refuse Conan's request. Nishikawa Mika bent down and touched Conan's head, smiling and said, "Okay, I'm just about to go back, Conan-kun, come with me."

Seeing that Nishikawa Mika took the initiative to take Conan back, Sakai Kyoko had no intention of going back with the two of them, "Then please ask Miss Nishikawa to take Conan back. I want to study the wall decorations again."

Conan took a look at the decorations on the wall. The overall decoration style of this ancient castle villa is typical Rococo style. It seems normal for Ms. Sakai, who specializes in writing romantic mystery novels, to want to study the architectural decoration of the ancient castle.

Although a lot of thoughts had already passed through his mind, Conan was as innocent as a child, and said to Nishikawa Mika in a baby voice: "Thank you, Nishikawa sister, thank you for your trouble."

"No trouble." Mika Nishikawa seemed to like children very much. As she looked at Conan who thanked her obediently, her eyes softened a little.

She took Conan to say goodbye to Kyoko Sakai, and then walked back with Conan.

Conan, who wanted to get some information, followed Nishikawa Mika's footsteps and said, "This place is really big, and the route is complicated. I can get lost easily."

Conan quietly raised his head and looked at Nishikawa Mika, "Sister Nishikawa, is it just you, Mr. Kitajima, and Sister Kokubo in such a big place? Are you tired?"

As he spoke, he childishly made a big circle with his hands, expressing his feeling that the villa was too big.
