However, I'll have to confess to Xia Ye then—
So shy!
Ran and Sonoko exchanged a glance.
Something's wrong with Kazuha!
This trip to Osaka is going to be quite interesting!
Chapter 345 The Marriage Fortunes of the Young Girls!
The city of waves, Osaka.
After getting off the Shinkansen.
Heiji Hattori is eager to take Kogoro Mouri and Conan to investigate the serial murder case.
To this end, he even arranged for officers from a nearby police station to drive the latest model police car as tour guides, planning to explain the case to Conan while touring Osaka Castle.
"Officer Xia Ye, would you like to come along?"
Heiji Hattori also wanted to invite Natsume to join them.
After all, Xia Ye solved the case directly in the last diplomat murder case, which made him very unconvinced.
This time, I want to compete with Xia Ye again.
"Forgive me for refusing!"
Seeing Uncle Mori and Conan sitting in the back of the police car like arrested criminals, Xia Ye decisively waved her hand.
"With you famous detectives around, I won't join in the fun. I'll just play with Ran and the others. After all, I've never been to Osaka before!"
"That's right, Heiji!"
Kazuha wrinkled her nose and gave a soft snort:
"Not everyone is as passionate about cases as you detectives!"
"You go investigate with Uncle Mori and Conan! I'll take care of Ran, Sonoko, and Natsume!"
"Okay~"
Heiji Hattori didn't dwell on it too much.
After the last diplomat murder incident, he frequently contacted Conan.
I heard a lot about Natsume from Conan and learned a bit about her.
Knowing that although he was a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department, he wasn't actually very interested in the case, I didn't try to persuade him any further.
"Then have fun!"
Hattori Heiji had no idea what was going to happen today. After giving a few instructions, he waved goodbye to Natsume and the others and left in a police car.
...
Osaka.
Imamiya Ebisu Shrine.
Kazuha led Natsume and Ran to explore the sights around the castle tower.
It's approaching noon.
The group arrived at this ancient shrine, which is most revered by the people of Osaka.
The Imamiya Ebisu Shrine enshrines the Ebisu god who governs fisheries.
Of course, most people are unfamiliar with this name.
Many people would know it if you said Ebisu or Fukujin.
As the times change.
This god of fortune has even been extended to the divine role of a business god who blesses the prosperity of the market.
As a result, Imamiya Ebisu Shrine became even more bustling, with worshippers shoulder to shoulder!
We haven't entered the shrine yet.
There are two rows of small stalls with a strong local flavor along the road.
From famous Osaka snacks to various games like water ballooning, goldfish scooping, and darts, there's something for everyone.
Of course, it's similar to the serious homogenization of various tourist attractions in China.
In Japan, these festival-like events mostly sell pretty much the same things.
Takoyaki, vegetable pancakes, candied apples—they're available in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, and they're no different from what Natsume and Ran went to at Nezu Shrine in Tokyo.
Anyway, I'm here to hang out with the girls.
Xia Ye didn't pay much attention, and he actually quite liked these roadside stalls.
When he goes to tourist attractions in the country, he always buys a few grilled sausages and grilled gluten to eat.
It tastes the same all over the country, but I just love it!
Xia Ye popped a takoyaki into her mouth.
Watch as Ran and Sonoko attempt to catch goldfish with a paper net.
The garden was alright; they caught three out of ten with paper nets.
Xiaolan exaggerated.
With her sharp eyesight and skillful application of force.
She caught more than twenty goldfish with ten paper nets.
The stall owner's eyes twitched as he watched.
but--
After catching the goldfish, Xiaolan and Yuanzi didn't take them away because they had nowhere to keep them.
The stall owner, overjoyed to have his goldfish returned, beamed with happiness and then began to shift blame onto others.
"Little girl!"
"Do you see that ring toss game stall over there?"
"You're so skilled, why don't you give it a try?"
"There are really cute plush toys over there!"
"Thanks for the reminder, boss!"
Xiao Lan was very clever and naturally understood what the goldfish stall owner meant.
However, she was having a great time and was still somewhat reluctant to stop.
The ring toss stall over there looks really lively; I might as well give it a try, even if I only win a small amount.
Ten minutes later.
Xia Ye was holding two huge dolls.
The ring toss stall owner treated Xiaolan like a plague carrier, sending her away as if she were a plague demon!
Sure enough, this little game that tests eyesight and throwing skills is a piece of cake for Xiaolan now.
Those little toys were so accurate, the ring toss stall owner turned pale.
In the end, Xiaolan was too kind and let him go after accepting two dolls.
"Xia Ye, why don't you put the doll in the car first?"
Kazuha was very well prepared this time, having already rented a car. Kazuha had driven all the previous sightseeing trips.
"Okay~"
Although the two giant cartoon figures are not heavy, they are indeed not very convenient to pick up.
Xia Ye nodded and walked towards the parking lot not far away.
"Alright, Xia Yezhi is gone!"
Ran and Sonoko pulled Kazuha aside and asked impatiently:
"Now you should tell us what you're planning to do, right? We asked you in the log earlier, but you wouldn't say anything!"
"You two..."
Kazuha was speechless. I was going to confess to your man!
These two idiots are not only not jealous, but they are also so gossipy. They are not like normal girls at all!
but--
He Ye blushed.
He knew perfectly well that Xia Ye not only had affairs with Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi, but also with other women.
And yet she still confessed to him and got involved. She's not a normal girl herself, so what right does she have to talk about Ran and Sonoko?
"never mind!"
Kazuha stopped worrying about it.
Anyway, the decision has already been made. Whether I regret it or not, I'll worry about that later. For now, I'll just keep going!
"Is such that..."
Kazuha whispered her plan to Ran and Sonoko, which drew praise from them.
"Don't worry, He Ye, we'll cooperate with you!"
"but--"
"But what?"
Kazuha asked curiously.
Ran and Sonoko exchanged a glance, then each patted Kazuha's cheek: "But, as the newcomer, Kazuha, you should call me 'older sister' first!"
He spat lightly.
Of course she knew what her two best friends meant; it was just like a newlywed concubine paying her respects to her master!
Hmph, so be it, sister it is.
A harmonious family environment actually brings the most benefits to the younger sibling!
"Sister Xiaolan, Sister Yuanzi!"
"Pfft-"
Ran and Sonoko couldn't help but laugh. They had only meant to tease Kazuha, but they hadn't expected her to actually call them "older sister." However—
Looking at the fair and delicate little hand that He Yeping stretched out in front of them.
The two women looked at each other in bewilderment:
"Meeting gift?"
"if not?"
Kazuha's beautiful eyes darted around, and she pouted coquettishly, "I've already called you 'older sister,' don't tell me that being your younger sister means I won't even get a gift?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ran and Sonoko smiled wryly, realizing that Kazuha had turned the tables on them.
However, since they were originally the youngest in the family, they were still very happy to have Kazuha as the younger one, and they were willing to give her a gift!
"Kazuha, here, take this!"
Sonoko opened her bag and took out a delicate little box. "This was given to me by my sister a few days ago. I'm giving it to you as a small gift!"
"what?"
Kazuha opened the box with some curiosity.
The first thing that catches the eye is a platinum chain, exquisitely designed, with a heart-shaped pink gemstone pendant at the end.
