Conan: The Mechanic

It was near evening in the snow near Kitazawa Village.

Maurilan, Suzuki Sonoko, Miyano Shiho and the three of them trudged through the heavy snow.

"Is the weather really okay?" Sonoko looked at the snowflakes in his palm with some unease. "This snow...seems to be bigger than what the weather forecast had previously reported?"

"If you want me to say, even if it really doesn't work, it's too late to turn back now." Shiho wrapped himself in a heavy down jacket, obviously not very fond of such low temperature. "If the address given by the teacher is correct, we can reach the villa in 30-40 minutes at most, but if we turn back...how far is it...the distance from the nearest dense residential area to here It’s about 2,500 to 3,000 meters, and it took about 45 minutes to get there. If we turn back now, it will take at least 70 minutes.” Shiho made an estimate and sighed. "All in all, I think if it goes on like this...even if I can send you there, it's impossible to go back."

"In the end, why is the skier's villa so far away from the ski resort?" Yuanzi already seemed a little tired. "In general, shouldn't ski accommodation be right next to the ski slopes?"

"Because there was a former ski resort next to the villa," Maurilan explained embarrassedly, apparently already doing some research. "Then the ski resort was closed, and the villa was no longer popular, and the rent was very cheap—maybe Mr. Yonehara thought it was cheap and had a fairly good-quality wild ski resort, so he decided to live there. Let's go? All in all... In any case, we can only visit the villa, and it's too late to look back now."

Shiho's expression was similar, but her dissatisfaction was not with the weather, but with people.

"Then what can I do?" Turning her face to a place that no one else could see, she curled her lips in dissatisfaction and muttered in a low voice. "If it wasn't for that guy Kudo, how could I have suffered in such a place!"

Originally, Akiko Yonehara only invited Mourilan alone, but when Suzuki Sonoko also found out about this, she expressed that she also wanted to visit the teachers of the elementary school. Under such circumstances, they communicated with Mr. Yonehara again and were invited to go together. At the same time, the original plan to go directly to skiing has also been revised - Ms. Yonehara, who planned to entertain the students she had not seen for many years, said that she planned to have a hearty barbecue at the ski villa she rented on Friday night. After dinner, go to the snow area to enjoy the world of ice and snow the next day.

"Actually, if it's a girl, it doesn't matter!" Mr. Yonehara Akiko answered on the phone. "The main problem is that we still have a double room left here. If you two girls come, you can live together, but if a boy comes, things will be more difficult to handle. You can't sleep on the sofa!"

As for why Shiho appeared on the way to the villa...

…………

"Hey, Xiaolan, do you need to go to the villa over there? But there doesn't seem to be any means of commuting there, so you can only walk there, and the distance is quite far?" Kudo Shinichi frowned slightly while looking at the map. "But the problem is that my uncle and auntie and I still need to go to several places for investigation, so I can't accompany you. It will take you more than an hour to go back and forth. If we go, the village office will be off work. ."

"It's okay, it's okay," Maurilan shook his head. "Isn't it just two or three kilometers, I think we can still..."

"Why don't you call your teacher and say don't go today?" Fei Yingli helped her glasses. "If the news I read just now is correct, the snow conditions here are worse than the previous forecast, and there may be dangers on your way. Even if you really want to go, the two of you are still a little weak, at least Three people together."

"Boy, accompany Xiaolan and the others," Kogoro Mouri proposed another plan. "It's not impossible for me and Yingri to investigate."

"But our initial investigation direction was to investigate in three different directions," Kudo Shinichi frowned. "If that's the case, we won't be able to complete the progress today..."

"Otherwise, shall I go with the two of them?" Shiho, who was beside him, suddenly suggested. "I can also drop by there to grab a barbecue and eat."

"Ah?" Qian Yu was stunned. "But in that case, you can't come back alone, can you? Don't you want to spend the night there too?"

"But, it's better than going with you boys, right?" Shiho asked rhetorically. "If the boys go there together, there is no way to go back alone, and there is no way for two men and one woman to arrange a room."

[And...if you go with them~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I don't worry about my boyfriend walking with other girls in the world of ice and snow, and I don't worry about spending the night outside together. 】——This is what Shiho was hiding in his heart and couldn't say.

…………

So, now it has become such a situation - even if you want to retreat now, the way back is already much more troublesome than continuing to walk.

Fortunately, Shiho and the others overestimated the distance to the finish line. After they climbed over a mountain, the villa described on the address appeared in front of them.

"Oh, you guys are actually here!" Mr. Yonehara Akiko opened the door for them who rang the doorbell. "Let me see...Xiaolan, Yuanzi...Who is this classmate?"

"Hello, Yonehara-sensei," Shiho saluted obediently. "I'm their friend. My name is Shiho Miyano. I'm here with the two of them this time. After all, the snow is heavy, so it's not safe to walk alone."

"It doesn't matter, it will be more lively with a few more people!" Akiko Yonehara welcomed them in enthusiastically. "Come in quickly, kids, you'll freeze to death if you stay outside!"

"By the way," Just as Shiho and the others were changing their shoes, another female teacher appeared. "Mr. Yonehara, are these your former students?"

"Yes," Akiko Yonehara nodded, and then introduced the identity of this person to Shiho and the others. "She is my colleague at Cuphu Primary School and a teacher."

"Those are not important for the time being," the female teacher showed a worried expression. "If the snow is so heavy, what should I do with Sugiyama-sensei who hasn't come to the villa yet?"

The moment he heard the name, Shiho seemed to be electrocuted.

Cuphu Elementary School... Mr. Sugiyama?
