"Hmm... you'd be surprised if I told you my other identity, so let's just say I'm the shop manager's wife."
Belo Betty sighed and said, "Robin, you've really built up a lot of suspense. But the place that can make you like this must be quite special. However, the sea has been very quiet lately."
Koala nodded and said, "Indeed, it's probably because of the aftermath of Mr. Bai Yu's actions that everyone is secretly investigating. Those great pirates will definitely race against the Navy to find Mr. Bai Yu."
"Indeed, but then again, I have a feeling things aren't as simple as they seem. Hey, Robin, do you think Mr. Bai Yu's appearance will change the world's landscape and future direction?"
"meeting."
"You don't need to be so quick... wait, without even thinking about it? Because he'll awaken the fighting spirit of more people who are afraid of those scumbags?"
Robin shook his head and said, "No, awakening people's fighting spirit was never what he wanted to do. In fact, he had absolutely no interest in what was going on here."
"Huh? Robin, your tone... you don't know anything about that man, do you?!"
Koala's words made Belo Betty look at Robin in disbelief. Robin nodded and said, "Yes, I know, and we've met before."
"Eh?!" x2
Robin, propping his chin on his hand, smiled helplessly and said, "See, this is the effect. I only said that we know each other and have met before, and this is the kind of expression you get. If I told you everything now, you might be incredibly surprised."
Koala paused for a moment and said, "Wait... Robin, you don't mean that we can meet Mr. Shiraha at the restaurant you asked us to go to, but you didn't tell us so that we could have some peace and quiet while we were lost in our own thoughts all afternoon?"
Belo Betty's beautiful eyes, hidden behind her sunglasses, twitched slightly as she said, "Um... Robin, you wouldn't actually be thinking that, would you...? That's a bit malicious..."
"I am the son of the devil."
Both of them twitched their lips and sighed. Clearly, Robin's idea had achieved its effect, and these two were unlikely to have a peaceful afternoon. Robin just covered her mouth and chuckled. Their headache-ridden expressions were quite amusing.
"So, this is your purpose? To run around in circles in the dense forest?"
Hearing Samira's words, LeBlanc just chuckled and said, "I admire your personality and abilities, but you should learn to be more patient. There are plenty of things in this forest that could kill you."
"Tch... You come to the forest every day, but you never go deep inside. You better not tell me you're scared."
"Of course not, it's just a greeting. However, perhaps our journey will have to be paused for a while."
Samira narrowed her eyes and said, "You mean, today?"
"At the latest by today, that lone assassin will be taking Karma to that place. Once they get there, they will inevitably reach a tacit understanding, or rather, a subtle cooperation."
"Then what awaits us now is a very peaceful period for Lord Soraka to heal the people here. It won't be long."
Samira, with one hand on her hip and a hint of amusement in her voice, said, "Are you sure it won't take too long?"
"That's for sure. Their purpose in coming to Ionia was definitely not to provide medical treatment; that was secondary. Their main purpose was still to tell Karma about this. So, there was no welcoming ceremony after they arrived; they immediately began arranging other things."
"Once Karma knows everything, they will split up. Once they have done what they need to do, they will leave naturally. And if nothing unexpected happens, that lone thorn and Lady Soraka will leave this continent sooner or later. Lady Soraka's 160 personality will definitely do as much as possible before she leaves."
Samira pursed her lips and said uncertainly, "Leave this continent? Ascend to heaven?"
"Absolutely not. The source of that magic is definitely not the power of ascension. And even the Rogue Thorn does not have the ability to ascend or become a chosen one, at least not under normal circumstances."
"It seems you came here for more than just to say hello."
"It is much easier to communicate with intelligent people than to work with a brute like Darius. If you want to visit an important and powerful master, you must prepare a generous gift."
Samira glanced at the forest before her, and after a moment of silence, said in a deep voice, "If this is your greeting gift, what's the difference between it and taking something from the host's house as a gift and giving it to the host?"
"The difference lies in the eyes of the strong. The weak cannot offer a sufficiently compelling gift because everything is readily available. What the weak can offer is their attitude and the courage to risk their lives. Otherwise, why would they choose you? A passionate challenger with ideas, manners, and principles."
"Sizzle..."

Chapter 485 Ran Mouri's Embarrassment, and Eri Kisaki's Shyness (Please Subscribe~)
Ran Mouri wasn't in a hurry to meet Shiraha not just because she was feeling complicated; more importantly, she knew very well that Shinichi Kudo would definitely be late.
Bai Yu is far from idle these days. There are so many things to do, such as preparing for the wedding, and many people are consulting with Bai Tu every day. Bai Yu has also sacrificed a lot of her hobbies and time to take care of Lucifer and the others.
During the day, even Lucifer and the others wouldn't bother Bai Yu with what he was doing. Of course, it was an exception if Izumi was there. They were the ones who arranged the dates. She knew that Bai Yu probably wouldn't refuse when she suddenly called him over, but Ran Mouri felt really embarrassed to actually agree.
Therefore, she would rather postpone the time than keep Shiraha waiting, otherwise she would feel guilty to death. However, it is clear that Ran Mouri underestimated Shinichi Kudo.
At that moment, Ran Mouri looked at Shiraha, who was handing her a cup of milk tea, and sighed, saying, "Shiraha-nii... I'm so sorry... Shinichi was late again after all..."
"It's nothing. Rather, what could possibly make me so excited? It's a good way to live up to my youth. But this is a bag I bought when I went on a trip before."
"Yes, Sister Klara and the others helped me pick it out, and I really like it. Brother Baiyu, thank you so much for accepting my invitation!"
"It's nothing, I just happen to have some time, and I don't dislike amusement parks. Looks like your friend has arrived."
Ran Mouri paused for a moment, then turned around and saw Shinichi Kudo walking over unhurriedly. This made Ran Mouri frown. It was one thing if it was just her, but she had said that she had invited others today. For the first time since she decided to give up, she felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction because of this.
However, Ran Mouri didn't say anything, but Shinichi Kudo immediately explained that he had slept too late after returning from handling a case the day before, which was why he was late.
Ran Mouri didn't say anything, just nodded and said to Shiraha, "Shiraha-nii, this is Shinichi. Shinichi, this is Shiraha-nii. He's a really, really good person. He's already engaged, and he's friends with Mom and Aunt Yukiko. He's always been very kind to me."
Shinichi Kudo paused for a moment. Looking at Shiraha, who had a natural affinity and the calm demeanor of a mature man, Shinichi Kudo really couldn't find anything suspicious about him. Moreover, he was friends with Yukiko Fujimine. Thinking of Yukiko Fujimine, Shinichi Kudo's eye twitched.
"Huh? That name sounds familiar..."
"He's Sonoko's fiancé, the one Sonoko mentions every day."
"what?"
Shinichi Kudo glanced at Bai Yu, then at Ran Mouri. He was curious about what Bai Yu had taken a liking to Sonoko Suzuki. Although he was not very emotionally intelligent and was slow to understand feelings, he wasn't stupid. He certainly wouldn't ask that question, since he had seen Sonoko's posts and they seemed to be very much in love.
When the three left, Eri Kisaki, who was sitting in the coffee shop across the street, put down her coffee cup and said softly, "Yukiko, I won't comment further. You can decide for yourself."
"This idiot... But looking at it this way, Shinichi is completely inferior to Shiraha in terms of temperament and aura."
"That's for sure. After all, that brat is still just a student. Let's go, follow him. I want to see how many outrageous things this kid can do today."
Yukiko Fujimine sighed and followed Eri Kisaki with her bag. Ran Mouri had expected Shinichi Kudo to nitpick or be the one to end conversations and create awkward silences, so she was prepared to awkwardly try to start a conversation.
As it turned out, she had clearly underestimated Shiraha's social skills and ability to control the situation. Shiraha was able to get Shinichi Kudo to talk about topics that interested him without making Ran Mouri feel awkward, and he also had topics to join in. He would also occasionally cleverly skip over Shinichi Kudo's Sherlock Holmes remarks and steer the conversation to a topic that Ran Mouri was more interested in.
However, despite this, Shinichi Kudo still only talks about soccer and Sherlock Holmes. When he discovered that Shiraha could talk to him about soccer and Sherlock Holmes, he was immediately in a great mood.
"So, you really want to become a detective like Sherlock Holmes?"
"That's right! This is my dream."
This was the first time Ran Mouri had gone out with Shinichi Kudo and had so much to talk about. Although she did most of the talking, she was still in a very good mood and said with a smile, "Yeah, Shinichi has always said that this is his dream and stuff."
Bai Yu nodded and said, "It's good, but even with his expertise in deduction and playing the violin, Holmes still has plenty of time to do other things. After all, he's just a character in a book, and what you see is only the content of the book."
Shinichi Kudo paused for a moment, wanting to say something, but then realized the train had arrived at the station. Ran Mouri was also somewhat surprised; she had never felt time pass so quickly. This was the first time she and Shinichi Kudo had ever felt time fly by when they went out together, in a physical sense.
"So, Xiaolan, you came to this amusement park just for this themed roller coaster?"
"Yeah, I saw in magazines and online that it looks really exciting, and it seems to be a super popular attraction in this amusement park."
Bai Yu looked at the roller coaster in front of him. For some reason, he felt that the atmosphere of this amusement park was strange. Suddenly, Bai Yu paused slightly and his gaze fell to the side without being noticed. With just that glance, Bai Yu frowned slightly.
"Ah... Oh no! Eri! Did we follow her too closely? Is that why Shiraha is upset after he noticed? He was looking over here just now."
Eri Kisaki said irritably, "What are you thinking? What kind of relationship do I have with Bai Yu? How could I possibly be angry? Besides, Bai Yu knew I was here. He even told me to stay close and not get lost... Zhan."
"Pfft... Eri, you're being treated like a child by Shiraha."
Eri blushed and glared at Yukiko Fujimine, but just as the two beauties were chatting, Vodka, with a few beads of cold sweat on his forehead, said from around a corner, "Big brother... it's that monster."
"Tsk... Why is this guy here, and on the roller coaster no less... Never mind, I have to get it no matter what. He won't dare to do anything in public without evidence. I'll leave as soon as I get it."
"Yes!"

Chapter 486 The Roller Coaster Case: Was it solved in a flash? (Please subscribe~)
When Bai Yu and his group arrived, Vodka and Gin had already reached the queue. Looking at Bai Yu's back, both of them felt a chill in their hearts. They still couldn't forget the terrifying shadow of being pinned to the ground and beaten by Bai Yu until they couldn't even fight back, and being tied to a telephone pole.
When it came time to board, Shinichi Kudo was standing at the front, so he sat in the first row with another girl. Shiraha sat next to Ran Mouri, while Vodka and his friend looked around and then moved to the back. (Due to plot developments, the train was extended.)
"Brother Baiyu, this roller coaster seems longer than I expected."
"This is probably what they mean by not feeling the height of a mountain when you're standing on it. But there's something a little off about the atmosphere."
Ran Mouri was stunned for a moment, thinking that Bai Yu was talking about Shinichi Kudo. Just as she was about to explain, she saw the roller coaster slowly start up. The roller coaster did not disappoint Ran Mouri's expectations. The entire ride was accompanied by various screams.
But just as they were halfway through a tunnel, Bai Yu suddenly straightened up, grabbed Ran Mouri, and at the same time, turned Shinichi Kudo's head back from the front seat.
Ran Mouri was screaming because of the roller coaster, but the next moment she was firmly protected by Shiraha, and Ran Mouri's face turned completely red.
Ran Mouri's mind was filled with thoughts like, "Why did Shiraha-nii suddenly hug me? No... it can't be... but... she has something more important to settle today!"
Just as Ran Mouri was lost in thought, a piercing scream suddenly rang out. Shiraha released Ran Mouri, and as Ran tried to look up to see what had happened, she heard Shiraha say in a deep voice, "Don't look! Mr. Kudo, you shouldn't look either!"
Shinichi Kudo looked at his fingers, which were covered in blood. It had fallen on his face while they were in the tunnel, and he knew without a doubt that something had happened.
Ran Mouri also noticed that Bai Yu's eyes were very serious at this moment, which meant that Bai Yu had protected her just now? Although she didn't know what had happened, she felt that this must be the case.
After the roller coaster stopped, Ran Mouri still didn't know what had happened. Shiraha held her head down the whole time to prevent her from seeing, while Shinichi Kudo found out what had happened as soon as he got off the ride. His pupils shrank immediately, and he was somewhat frightened.
A headless woman sat on the roller coaster, no longer spitting blood, but blood was still flowing. Ran Mouri lowered her head, pursed her lips, and said, "Brother Bai Yu, Shinichi, what happened?"
"Xiao Lan, don't look up yet! Everyone! Stay where you are!"
Hiding in the corner, Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Fujimine turned pale. Good heavens, they had deliberately chosen a good spot to observe the whole thing, and as a result, they witnessed the entire fountain scene.
Yukiko Fujimine pursed her lips and said, "How could this happen? Is it a equipment safety issue? But... isn't this the biggest difference between Shinichi and Mr. Shiraha..."
Seeing that Shiraha's first thought wasn't surprise or the case, but rather to firmly protect Ran Mouri and keep her completely in the dark about what had happened, Fujimine Yukiko sighed silently. She was far inferior.
After the police arrived and covered the body with a white sheet, Bai Yu gently patted Ran Mouri on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Ran, that's enough."
"Oh... Brother Bai Yu... Is someone injured?"
Bai Yu just smiled and said, "It's okay. When the police ask you any questions, just tell them the truth and that you don't know anyone."
"Oh... um?! Brother Baiyu! There's blood on your clothes... and on your face..."
Ran Mouri glanced at the white cloth to the side, and her pupils immediately contracted. Things seemed to be much more serious than she had imagined; someone had died.
"Then... um?! Mr. Shiraha?!"
The police officer had just come over to ask about the situation when he saw Bai Yu and immediately exclaimed in surprise. He definitely knew Bai Yu; Tezuka Kunimitsu's grandfather was a police inspector, and he had also seen Bai Yu before regarding Eri Kisaki's incident.
They also knew that Bai Yu and his family were extremely powerful; in fact, it could be said that their family wielded the most significant influence in the city and even the country.
"Oh, it's Inspector Megure. I knew you were the one to handle this kind of case."
"Hmm, hmm?! Mr. Bai Yu, are you injured?"
"No, I'm fine. The deceased was sitting behind me, so he got splashed. Inspector Megure, we can begin the procedures now."
"Ah... um! So, Mr. Shirayu, when you were sitting in front of the victim, did you hear anything?"
Bai Yu silently watched a woman in blue for a long time before softly saying, "Inspector Megure, please go along the roller coaster route and look for pearls. There are quite a few."
"Huh? Pearls?"
"Inspector Megure, we found..."
"A bloodstained knife, right?"
"Yes! Sir, how did you know?"
Bai Yu sighed and said, "That's impossible. Unless someone is specially trained, it's impossible to cut someone down with a knife like this, especially in this position, and with a lady."
"From this angle, she would definitely resist. And most importantly, from this angle, she would have to turn 90 degrees and lean back to have enough arm span to exert force. Holding a knife is not a murder weapon."
Shinichi Kudo glanced at it and nodded, saying, "That's right, this knife could never be the murder weapon."
Before Gin could say anything more, Shiraha casually remarked, "Until the case is closed, it's best to remain patient, isn't it, sir?"
Gin broke out in a cold sweat instantly, but gritted his teeth and stood silently to the side. Bai Yu withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the woman in blue, saying, "Only steel wires and piano strings can do this at the speed of a high-speed roller coaster."
Has anyone lost anything made of string? Like... a necklace?
P.S.: Because the protagonist is very strong, he definitely won't jump over the chair like in the original story, so the train has been reordered. Also, I'm not interested in detective stories.

The case was solved almost instantly. The scattered pearls and other tools were found, and the murderer was caught on the spot. The reason for the crime was that it was a crime of passion, which left Bai Yu somewhat helpless.
