Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

[Little girl: Ophio Ophio, I successfully tricked Conan here.]

[Novelist: Little Alice is awesome.]

[Entomologist: Do you need someone to pick you up?]

[Little girl: Not yet. We're on our way there. It's fun to chat while walking.]

[Novelist: Please be careful on the road.]

[Explorer: Orpheus, you really are like an old woman right now.]

[Composer: I agree with Mr. Campbell.]

[Novelist: I just pamper my Alice, so what?]

[Entomologist: How many people are there in the manor now?]

[Composer: The four of us, plus Mr. Rapadura, Mr. Perez, and Mr. Percy.]

[Explorer: You forgot about the big robot Bang Bang.]

[Crazy Eyes: (Wearing Trace Leather) I'm just out in the yard tinkering with new inventions. Oh, and I upgraded the performance of Guard 26. It should be smarter than before.]

[Deer Head: I'm watering the flowers over here in the flower bed.]

[Doctor: I think people will think I'm a Frankenstein. I'm going to hide in the basement.]

[Guardian No. 26: Bang Bang, new friend, Bang Bang.]

[Explorer: What? Old man, you upgraded it? Then it won't disrupt the balance when we return, right?]

[Crazy Eyes: Ahem, who do you take me for? I've always been law-abiding and never do anything that breaks the rules.]

Conan and his friends walked to the gate of the manor, talking and laughing all the way.

"Everyone, this is my home!"

"Wow!" The three little ones added the supporting role.

The little girl stood on tiptoe and rang the doorbell. Soon the deer head appeared in front of the iron gate, opened the door and let them in.

Genta: "Wow, this uncle is wearing a big mask that looks like a moose?"

Mitsuhiko: "Oh yeah, is that some kind of Moose Man costume? Just like Kamen Rider!"

Conan noticed that Deerhead seemed to be carrying a lot of hunting tools such as traps and hooks, and whispered to the little girl, "Hey, Alice, why does your housekeeper have so many hunting tools? It's too dangerous."

Little girl: "Uncle Bane is a forest ranger, not a butler. Those tools are used to prevent animals in the forest from running out and destroying the manor."

Ayumi: "Huh? Are there any dangerous wild animals here?"

Little girl: "Don't worry, Ayumi, Uncle Bane will keep all the vicious beasts out of the manor."

Ayumi: "Wow, Uncle Ben is so awesome."

Mitsuhiko: "Well, he is indeed Moose Superman."

The group entered the interior of the manor building.

Conan surveyed the surroundings, which were decorated in a classical European style. As they entered, they even passed a corridor lined with sculptures. According to the little girl, this corridor was called the "Muse Corridor," and was filled with statues of nine Muses. Her father had brought these statues from his ancestral home, and it was said that these statues inspired him to think like a fountain.

I was saying, why would you move an entire sculpture gallery just to move house? Conan couldn't help but feel speechless at Orpheus's strange persistence.

There were already other guests in the living room. Conan looked at them:

A man in his twenties, dressed luxuriously, wearing a shirt with exquisite gold thread work and covered in ostentatious gold and silver jewelry, was sitting on a small sofa next to the coffee table in the living room. Conan dared to say that he was walking around wearing a pile of money, and the combination was really too tacky.

A dignified and elegant woman in her thirties, wearing a veil and jewelry with insect patterns, which was probably related to her profession, sat on another small sofa next to the coffee table.

There was also a well-dressed man in his thirties, who looked like a European aristocrat. He seemed to have a silver cornflower emblem on his bow tie. He was sitting in front of the piano in the reception room.

The novelist Mr. Orpheus was sitting on a bench next to the coffee table, facing the man and woman.

The explorer glanced at Conan and his group and said, "Oh, it seems you have a group of little guests today, Orpheus."

Entomologist: "Oh, little Alice is back. Did she bring her classmates back with her?"

Novelist "Alice, did you have fun at school today?"

Little girl: "Auntie Meili, I brought back some new friends I met at school today to play with you. They are Conan, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko."

Novelist: "Welcome. (Smile)"

The three little ones: "Hello, uncles and aunts!"

Conan: "Uncle Orpheus, we have a lot of guests today. What do you uncles and aunts do?"

The prospector said: "Norton Campbell, a mineral miner. Orpheus borrowed money from me to buy this manor. I want to see if he has written any new works that can be sold at a good price to pay off his debts." The prospector glared at the novelist after saying this.

Entomologist: "Merry Pliny, I am a professor of zoology and botany, and I have recently been focusing on insect research. I was invited by Mr. Orpheus to come here to discuss an academic issue with him."

Composer: "Frederick Kreiberg, composer. I've recently hit a wall in my writing, so I came to my old friend Mr. Orpheus to find some inspiration."

Conan: So one is here to collect a debt, one is here to seek inspiration, and only Ms. Pliny was invited here formally.

At the same time, the brain channel

[Novelist: What does that look in your eyes mean? Huh?]

[Explorer: You cost me so much money and I'm not even going to let you glare at me? I didn't even ask you to pay me back!]

[Novelist: Money in this world means nothing to us. Why do you have to be so unreasonable?]

[Surveyor: So you don't consider money money? More importantly, it's my money! Mine!]

[The two of them exchanged verbal attacks.]

[Mercenary: Six! I'm eating while watching, and I've already finished five bowls of rice.]

[Mechanic: Come watch from the front row, freshly baked melon.]

[Aviator: As expected, research is not as attractive as eating melons.]

[Magician: Your Embers group's verbal battles are always the most beautiful scenery in the manor.]

[Perfumer: A fragile friendship, huh?]

[Photographer: Great! I've recorded it.]

[Explorer & Novelist: Delete!]

Thanks to the divine power of the Dream Witch and the Lord in Yellow, the above large-scale melon-eating behavior can be condensed in the brain to a short period of less than one second.

Back to reality, the novelist has arranged for several children to play games in the living room on the right, and has also provided desserts and snacks, as well as the manuscript of the novel that Conan wanted. Incidentally, the game they are playing is "Orpheus's Game".

Yuantai: "Hey, this game is so hard to play. I haven't won once."

Ayumi: "Yeah, it seems like there's a lot to consider."

Mitsuhiko: "Well, it does require a lot of logical reasoning."

Little girl: "This game requires communication and thinking. However, it's more fun with more people. I've even seen my dad play this game with several uncles and aunts."

Conan: "The concept of the game is quite clever. In order to identify other people's identity cards, you need to communicate and observe their words and expressions. Is it worthy of being a game created by that novelist?"

At the same time, Conan noticed the Muse mark drawn on the identity card, and the contents on the card seemed to be connected into a story.

Conan: "Um, Alice, is there any background story for this card?"

Little girl: "Oh, did you notice? This is the story about Orpheus and Eurydice."
