Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

"fart!"

A rough voice came from beside them.

Shiho Miyano turned her head and saw that it was the security guard at the door.

The security guard frowned and began to angrily rebuke.

"Ueda, you can even be a guide? You can even get the old woman's age wrong!"

"She's clearly over two hundred years old!"

"......"

Sherry fell silent.

Lin Jiayou's lips twitched.

These people are really something, aren't they? Their talk is getting more and more outrageous...

"nonsense!"

When the guide heard the security guard questioning him, he immediately started arguing with him.

"He's clearly over 150 years old!"

"Get lost! Is 150+ years old considered longevity?..."

The security guard refused to back down, and the argument between the two escalated.

Shiho Miyano couldn't stand it anymore and shoved a Fukuzawa Yukichi card into the guide's hand.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your explanation."

"You can keep arguing, we're going inside first..."

As she spoke, she took Lin Jiayou's hand and they walked together into the shrine's scenic area.

After walking only a few steps, I arrived at the entrance of the Mermaid Shrine.

In front of the shrine, a shrine maiden dressed in a white shrine maiden outfit, carrying a fishing rod with a white ribbon on her back, is smiling as she hands out number tags and names to each visitor.

Her smile is full of sunshine and youthful vibrancy; just one glance at it can give you a healing feeling.

"What a beauty..."

Shiho Miyano pouted and muttered to herself.

Lin Jiayou's lips twitched; he didn't know what to say.

He's said it so many times, so many times: he really has no interest in Kimie Shimabukuro...

After the crowd visiting the shrine gradually dispersed and no one else came, Shiho Miyano pulled Yoshiyu Hayashi up with her.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen."

Kimie Shimabukuro gave Shiho Miyano and Keisuke Hayashi a gentle smile and a slight bow.

"Please come over here to register and write down your name and age to get your number."

"We're not here to get a number."

Sherry interrupted Shimabukuro Kimie by speaking.

Shimabukuro Kimie was slightly taken aback, and for a moment she even seemed a bit naive.

"No, isn't this for getting a number?"

She subconsciously pulled out the white fishing rod from her back and gently tapped her back.

"May I ask where you two have come from...?"

Shirley gave Lin Jiayou a look.

If you insist on coming to find her, then you go ahead and tell her!

Lin Jiayou took half a step forward and spoke softly.

"We've come to see the legend of Mermaid Island, the Longevity Granny."

"Oh~"

Kimie Shimabukuro looked as if she had just realized something.

"So you came to see my great-grandmother!"

As she spoke, a hint of apology appeared on her face.

"Excuse me, you two, my great-grandmother is getting old and needs to rest this afternoon."

"If you two wish to see her, you can come again tomorrow morning."

"or,"

At this moment, Shimabukuro Kimie seemed to remember her duties as a shrine maiden, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

"You can participate in our island's annual dugong festival!"

"Perfect timing, the celebration is tomorrow night."

"My great-grandmother will definitely be attending; she's a big shot at every dugong celebration..."

"Thanks,"

Lin Jiayou said calmly,

"We've already met."

"Eh?"

Shimabukuro Kimie looked blank, not understanding what Lin Jiayou was talking about.

Did I see these two people this morning?

Given this gentleman's height and demeanor, if I had met him before, I shouldn't have no recollection of him...

"Um, Ms. Shimabukuro,"

Listening to their conversation, which revolved around the old woman, Shiho Miyano finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been on her mind for a long time.

"I'd like to ask you, was your great-grandmother really over 150 years old?"

"no."

Shimabukuro Kimie looked completely bewildered.

"How could she be over 150 years old?"

"what?!"

Sherry was taken aback, and the words slipped out.

"She's really over two hundred years old?!"

"what?!"

Kimie Shimabukuro was even more bewildered, then gave a helpless smile.

What are you saying?!

“My grandma is exactly 130 years old this year. She’s just lived a little longer than everyone says. It’s not as miraculous as people say.”

"The idea that he's over 150 or 200 years old is pure nonsense."

"You can find out about this by checking the household registration records."

"Heh, heh heh..."

Sherry gave a stiff smile.

One hundred and thirty years old, that's not an age that a normal person can live to.

It can't be explained simply by living a little longer...

As she thought this, she turned to look at Lin Jiayou, her eyes seeming to say something.

Do you have any more questions?

Lin Jiayou shook his head slightly, then said to Shimabukuro Kimie,

"excuse me."

"Uh, okay, please take care..."

Kimie Shimabukuro had no idea what she had said to the two of them in the past few minutes.

Lin Jiayou turned to leave, but Shirley suddenly grabbed him.

"Wait a moment!"

"Ms. Shimabukuro, could you please register our names and give us a number?"

"Hey! Okay!"

Shimabukuro Kimie immediately became motivated.

She immediately took out paper and pen, opened the register, and pushed over a small box.

"Just write your name here and put the money in."

"Uh, okay."

Sherry wiped a bead of sweat from her brow.

So there is a fee after all. No wonder Ms. Kimie Shimabukuro was so enthusiastic...

How much is it?

Shiho Miyano asked casually.

For jobs like theirs, where there's so much money to be made, they don't care anymore.

Kimie Shimabukuro's smile grew even brighter.

"One hundred yen each, thank you both for your support."

"what?"

Sherry looked up in surprise.

"so cheap?"

"Oh dear, even great-grandmother thinks it's too expensive!"

Kimie Shimabukuro smiled sheepishly.

"This is a public welfare blessing ceremony; it's wrong to charge money, let alone dare to charge more..."
