Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

In the evening, a special plane flew to Kyoto.

Chi Feichi took Hui Yuanai to a hotel in Kyoto, and then went to the hotel's open-air restaurant for dinner.

The traditional Japanese style is very popular in hotels in Kyoto. The open-air restaurant is also covered with wooden floors, with low wooden tables and the seats are separated by screens, which does not match the modern style at all.

In the not-so-bright outdoor area, a row of dotted lanterns hung on the landscape pool, illuminating the maple trees with green leaves by the pool with soft warm yellow light, and reflected on the water together with the maple trees.

In the seat next to the landscape pool, Hui Yuanai propped his chin with his hands and looked at the red carp swimming in the landscape pool for a while. After the dishes were served, he found that Chi Feichi was about to start eating. Aren't you going to respect the tradition and say 'I'm going to start' first?"

She found that Chi Feichi really didn't have this habit, he still went his own way, and he didn't say "I'm going to start" with everyone every time he ate.

She didn't have this habit when she was studying in the United States. After she came back, she mostly ate alone, and she just finished eating. She got used to it after eating a lot with Dr. A Li and a group of children.

Chi Feichi ate in silence, expressing his position with actions.

Hui Yuan Ai didn't read any words, and started directly. After a moment of silence, he decided to ask directly, "Is it because I have been eating alone for a long time, so I don't have that habit?"

Chi Feichi thought about it, "I used to not talk about that when eating at home. My father is more in the habit of accommodating my mother."

Therefore, the original consciousness body did not have this habit, let alone him.

"No wonder you haven't gotten used to it." Hui Yuanai asked again after taking two bites of food, "And then? You suddenly brought me to Kyoto at night, isn't it just to eat a pure Kyoto kaiseki meal?"

Chi Feichi put all the raw fish dishes into small plates and gave them to Feichi, "It's not good to be bored at home all day."

Hui Yuanai raised his eyes and stared, "Do you think I believe it or not?"

"By the way, let's do some activities." Chi Feichi took out his mobile phone, and sent the organized information of the "Genji Hotaru" group to Hui Yuanai from the UL chat software.

Huiyuan Ai took out his mobile phone, and after seeing 'Genji Hotaru', he took it seriously, read the information and the rewards marked on the back, and then put down the mobile phone and continued to eat, seeing that there was no one nearby who could hear their conversation , then asked in a low voice, "Are you going to catch the murderer? Or are you going to deal with that group of thieves?"

It turned out that he was here to claim a bounty, and this was the Chi Feichi she knew.

And this time there was a criminal group, which made her look forward to it. There may be dangers, but it would never give her the feeling that a bounty hunter is a courier for the TA-Q-BIN company.

"Don't have too much hope," Chi Feichi put away his phone and gave Hui Yuan Ai a vaccination. "The main reason is to bring you to Kyoto. April is the season for cherry blossoms."

This is the bounty he half gave up, and he brought Huiyuan Ai here, and the original intention was to bring Huiyuan Ai here to play.

"Yes, yes," Hui Yuanai responded lazily, and asked again, "Then do we need to collect information in advance?"

Chi Feichi thought for a while, "Go to online forums to find out where to see cherry blossoms."

Huiyuan Ai was taken aback, she asked if she wanted to collect information on 'Genji Hotaru', why did she feel that Brother Feichi was...

"Leave me the kimono for you to enjoy the cherry blossoms." Chi Feichi said again.

Haibara Ai:"……"

(all)

Brother Feichi seems to be seriously planning to collect information about playing.

...

the next day.

In a kimono shop located in a secluded street, the female clerk took Chi Feichi and Hui Yuanai to the backyard to watch, and introduced the situation in a gentle voice.

This is a shop that makes kimonos by hand, and the backyard is a handcraft workshop.

Starting from the hand-woven silk, including the drafting of the pattern, tracing, dyeing, dyeing, gold color, and embroidery are all done bit by bit by the craftsman, steamed and soaked, and the process is ridiculously complicated.

Correspondingly, the price is also high.

There is no single belt for a little girl that is less than 500,000 yen, and the whole set starts at one million yuan.

The most exaggerated thing is that this store also pays attention to the membership system, otherwise, when you arrive at the door of the store, the female clerk in kimono will politely and politely say that you will not accept customers without an appointment.

As for the method of making an appointment, it has nothing to do with making an appointment at the store or by telephone. It is called an appointment only if you find an old customer to bring you over to register.

But after arriving at the store, you can go to the workshop to see the handmade products, and...

Still quite expensive.

"Ms. Kanai said that Ms. Xiao Ai does not have a formal dress. This spring, we only prepared three sets of formal kimonos for girls aged seven to nine, and provided them to customers who did not book in advance and needed them urgently," the female shop assistant said gently, He led the way to a house on the side, and opened the door sideways, "Please come in, if you are not satisfied, you can order it to be made, but it will take about three months to get the ready-made clothes."

There is no furniture in the Japanese style house, only three sets of kimonos on wooden doll racks.

After Hui Yuanai entered the door, he looked at the three sets of kimonos, then turned to the saleswoman and said, "You don't need to look at the bright yellow set, my brother doesn't like it."

"Yes, I'll let someone take it away." The female clerk responded with a smile, stepped back and went out, looking for someone to take away the yellow kimono.

The remaining two sets are also furisode kimonos.

The set on the left has a red base color. From one shoulder, there are pink cherry blossom patterns, white, and pink peony patterns. Flowers of all sizes are staggered, layered on top of each other, so that the color from top to bottom also transitions from red to red pink. Pink, light pink, powder white, and some gold, red gilt.

The set on the right has a light blue background and a relatively large pattern. The lower corner is a dark blue water ripple pattern, and a white crane with wings is painted with embroidery thread and gold color on the top. The gold color is mostly blue, which looks refreshing.

Hui Yuanai once again fell into the difficulty of choosing. She doesn't like too complicated patterns on clothes, but it seems that it also depends on the texture and details...

(●—●)

What if you like both sets?

Chi Feichi took a look, then lowered his head and asked Hui Yuanai, "How about staying?"

Hui Yuanai hesitated for a moment, nodded, then turned to ask the female shop assistant who brought someone in to collect the kimono in the middle, "Is it okay?"

Ike Kana said before, just pick what you like, and earn back a few sets of luxury clothes or cosmetics in Kyoto another day. Thinking about it this way, she really doesn't have much psychological burden, she is just worried that this store will keep stock, no Happy to let one guest take two sets.

The female clerk did hesitate for a while, then nodded with a smile, and showed Hui Yuan Ai the lining, belt and other small items, "Do you need to change it now?"

Hui Yuanai turned to look at Chi Feichi.

Chi Feichi suggested, "Change to the red and pink one."

There is a cute and beautiful younger sister who must be dressed up like a doll, and she will be taken out to show off, just like showing off the treasures in her own family. It feels great.

Hui Yuanai resolutely pulled Chi Feichi into the water, "I'll change it later, and pick yours too."

The female clerk immediately smiled and looked at Chi Feichi, "This year's black pattern payment is also ready. Originally, we planned to call in two days to ask Mrs. Kanai if she would like someone to send it to Tokyo. Since you are here, let's take a look." Look, we also try to use white and blue-purple to make haori, and the base color is white men's clothing, you can also take a look, it is very suitable for young people."

Looking at the girl's smiling face, Chi Feichi always felt that the word "profiteer" was written all over it, and every word the girl said seemed to become "Are you throwing coins" in his ears, but he still nodded .

"Then please follow me." The saleswoman bowed and led the way.

"Will kimonos be sent to Brother Feichi every year?" Hui Yuanai asked.

"Ms. Kanai said, let us prepare it every year," the female shop assistant explained softly, "But it doesn't need to be sent to Tokyo every year. If Master Chi hasn't grown too much and the clothes still fit, then there is no need to send it to Tokyo." It's over."

"Some banquets don't have to be attended," Chi Feichi said bluntly, "but you must be prepared. Some families in Kyoto hold banquets that are more retro."

Huiyuan Ai understood, that is to keep the dress ready, so as not to be unable to find it in a while when it is necessary to wear a formal kimono.

In another room, there are also three sets of kimonos hanging, one is the black set that the Chi family has always loved, the other is the white background that the saleswoman said before, and the set is simply added with blue and purple scattered flowers, and the remaining set is brown Yes, it was directly ignored by Chi Feichi.

Japanese traditional men's kimono has a "hidden" idea, the appearance is simple and smooth, black, navy blue, gray, and brown are more common, and the collar of other colors is exposed on the inner garment, it is not too monotonous, and the real craftsmanship The floral pattern is hidden on the inside.

The surface layer seems to have a single color, but the patterns are all hidden from the inside, which is another tradition that Chi Feichi cannot understand.

"Don't want the brown one, but keep the other two." Hui Yuanai looked up at Chi Feichi, "If there is a banquet in the future, I will wear blue, and you will wear blue, and I will wear red and pink, and you will wear it." black."

"Okay." Chi Feichi agreed straightforwardly.

In order to go out later to show off my sister, I can do anything.

Hui Yuanai also obediently went to change clothes.

There is a tall and handsome brother, he must dress up and take him out to show off, it feels great.

In order to go out later to show off my brother, I can do anything.

When Hui Yuanai entered the door, the female shop assistant silently followed her in.

"No, I'll do it myself."

"But tidying up the kimono is very troublesome," the female shop assistant smiled, "Let me help you."

In front of the door on the other side, Chi Feichi blocked another female shop assistant at the door with a cold face.

"No need to help, I always come by myself."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, closed and locked the door in one go.

At the door of the next room, Hui Yuan Ai was stunned for a moment, and almost didn't laugh out loud. Seeing the female shop assistant next to her squatting down to persuade herself, she restrained her urge to gloat, and said calmly, "Then I will trouble you."

Half an hour later, Chi Feichi led Hui Yuanai out.

The female clerk didn't quote, and the two of them didn't ask, and there were very few checkouts here, and they were all charged to Chi Kana's account, and Chi Kana paid for the coin throwing.

"The remaining two sets of blue clothes, we will pack them up and send them to the hotel," the female clerk smiled and sent them out. "About nine o'clock in the evening, is that okay?"

Chi Feichi nodded, "Thank you."

"You leisurely traveler, ask you if you have known, the plum blossoms in the hometown, the fragrance is like the old days."

At the street corner, a girl in a light purple kimono with short brown wavy hair spoke out. After Chi Feichi looked at her, she bent down and bowed, "Mr. Chi, long time no see."

Behind the girl, a tall man in a dark blue suit with long curly hair also bowed.

"Miss Ooka, long time no see."

Chi Feichi recognized the person.

Ooka red leaves.

Counting, the two have only met twice, when Ooka Hongye was five or six years old, but Ooka Hongye is also a character who will appear in Conan's plot, the name, appearance and the little girl in the memory are immediately matched. up.
