Conan: The Mechanic

Although it is late at night, Shinsaibashi, the core area of ​​Osaka, is still brightly lit.

"Looks like this kind of place is more interesting at night." Haibara Ai was walking down the street, looking at the crowd passing by, and said.

"Definitely so," Qianyu smiled lightly as she walked side by side with her. "The night market here is quite famous, obviously it is impossible not to have an impressive feature."

On this night, after saying hello, Chiba and Haibara Ai returned to Shinsaibashi together and went on a trip to Shinsaibashi that had been interrupted because of a series of crimes committed by Police Officer Sakata.

As for the main goal of coming? Haibara Ai saw a kamo store here before, so I wanted to buy a jersey from Higo Takasuke.

"I have a question to ask you," Qianyu asked suddenly. "Why does it have to be Bihu Longyu's jersey?"

"Do you remember when we went to the Waiting Force Arena with everyone?" Haibara Ai asked rhetorically. "If I remember correctly, it should be Kawasaki Luyin..."

"The one we went to together?" Qianyu immediately reacted. "You mean the battle against Mount Tenno at Sanfrecce in Hiroshima?"

"Yeah," Hai Yuanai nodded. "I didn't want to go with you in that game. It was the magazine you were holding that attracted me."

"You mean, the magazine you were looking for me to leave later?" Qian Yu recalled for a while before realizing which one it was. "Wait a minute, the theme of that book seems to be Higo Ryusuke's transfer from Sakura Osaka to Gamba Osaka?"

"Yes," Haibara Ai agreed with Chiba's answer. "I already had a special feeling about Takashi Gogo at the time - I just thought... Maybe he who betrayed his old club is the same kind of person as me? The same kind of person who committed a crazy betrayal."

"That's why you plan to go to the ball with us?" Qianyu raised her eyebrows.

"Yes," Haibara Ai did not deny it. "I went to see that game largely because I was a little curious about Takasuke Bigo, so I thought it would be okay to go and see the football he was engaged in."

"That's really an interesting reason," Qian Yu's mouth twitched slightly. "I used to think you were interested in what you've seen before."

"You expect me to watch football in the American football desert?" Ai Haibara asked rhetorically. "I've never experienced this kind of football frenzy on the Japanese side before."

Having said that, the two continued to walk on the street.

"By the way, if that's the case, are you going to the Expo Arena tomorrow?" Qianyu asked.

"You mean the Osaka 1970 World Expo Stadium, also known as OsakaExpo\'70Stadium?" Haibara asked sadly.

"Yes," Qianyu nodded. "If you like Bihu Longyou, go to the Gamba home court over there. Anyway, if you ask, you should be able to let the two of us go together."

"Aren't you going with those children?" Haibara asked rhetorically.

"Aren't you afraid of those fans of Tokyo Greenery going to do things?" Qian Yu raised her forehead. "Last year's home and away game with Tokyo Greenery seemed to have something to do with it. Now it's a bit of a visit to Gamba's home court with a group of Tokyo Greeny fans..."

"Okay, maybe it's not bad if it's just the two of us." Hai Yuanai showed a smile and nodded.

As he was walking, Haibara Ai's eyes suddenly noticed a shop on the side of the road.

"Huh?" Chiyu immediately noticed the abnormality of Haibara's mournful gaze, and also looked in that direction—there was a small shop that fished for goldfish.

"Want to go play?" Chiba looked at Haibara Ai in surprise. "I thought……"

"What's wrong?" Hui Yuan asked sadly.

"It's nothing." Qian Yu smiled and shook her head, avoiding the topic. "Let's go have a look."

(Actually, the reason Chiba didn’t say is because he thought that Haibara Ai had passed the mental age to play this game. But——when he came out with the person he liked, who would not get rid of his original character and change back to the best What about the innocent look?)

Although it is not the season for goldfish fishing, there are not too many people in front of this goldfish fishing stall - compared to those food stalls everywhere, there should be only this goldfish fishing shop nearby. Such a monopoly makes the store have quite good customer traffic.

"Children, are you also here to fish for goldfish?" The old man at the booth looked at Huiyuan Ai kindly.

"Well," Standing on the steps specially prepared for children in front of the booth, Hai Yuanai handed the grandfather a note and smiled at her. "Please bring me a fishing net first, no need to ask for money."

The grandfather smiled and nodded, his eyes swept across the face of Chiyu who was looking at Haibara Ai at this time, and then he made a decision and chose a paper fishing net to give to Haibara Ai. "Little girl, come on, you must pay attention to skills when fishing with fishing nets, and don't be impatient."

When the paper fishing net in Haibara Ai's hand entered the water, Chiba's expression, who was also looking at the paper fishing net, changed subtly.

If you compare it with the paper fishing nets of those people I saw before, this paper fishing net does not seem to be so stiff, which means that it is very-

Just when Chiba thought of this, the paper fishing net shattered with the tail of the goldfish she touched.

Chiba's observation seemed correct, the paper fishing net in Haibara Ai's hand was more fragile than the previous ones.

"Well," Haibara Ai looked a little helpless, but quickly regrouped. "Grandpa, another one."

The old man continued to nod his head, and handed another piece of paper fishing net to Haibara Ai.

Within a dozen seconds, this paper fishing net once again proved Chiba's pessimistic judgment on its strength.

"Little girl, you're too impatient," the grandfather said with a smile, looking at Haibara Ai's slightly puffed expression. "Or, let the kid next to you try to get one for you?"

"Hmm—" Haibara Ai looked at Qianyu~www.NovelMTL.com~ Would you like to try it? "

"Me?" Qian Yu glanced at the box containing the paper fishing net, and nodded after thinking about it. "I'll try it and see if I can get one for you."

"Okay," the old man seemed very happy, and took another paper fishing net and handed it to Qianyu. "The young man has it, he must help her catch a goldfish!"

"Okay." Qianyu took the paper fishing net and immediately invoked the computing power of her auxiliary unit.

Considering the strength of the paper fishing net here, it is definitely necessary to start from the parts that are relatively less prone to collision, and then try to catch those weaker goldfish, so...

Thinking like this, Qianyu put the paper fishing net into the water, but found something unexpected - the strength of this fishing net seems to be much stronger than the strength of the two paper fishing nets that Haibara Ai had obtained before. The net itself doesn't even show any visible deformation when shaking in the water.

Could it be that……

Chiba glanced at the box that contained the paper fishing nets—the auxiliary unit’s records showed that the fishing nets handed to Haibara Ai were all taken from the red painted part, while the fishing net handed to him just now was from the painted part. Part of the blue paint was taken out.

Chiyu showed a slight smile, and this smile became even worse after a moment.

He used a paper fishing net to hold the goldfish up and threw it into a bowl filled with water, then turned to look at Haibara Ai beside him. "It's done!"

Hai Yuanai's eyes narrowed into a rare crescent shape, and she looked at him with a smile.

Looking at the two children in front of him, the grandfather also showed a kind smile.

(Well, the fishing nets did tricks, the nets in the red area are weak, and the nets in the blue area are strong, and then the old man did it on purpose.)
