The fishing boat docked, and Yokomizo Jugo led the team to the Hospital to find Eijiri and confirm the situation.
Since it was too late, the others found a Hotel near the Wharf to stay, taking the opportunity to take a bath, change into the Yukata provided by the Hotel, and hand over their Wet Clothes soaked in seawater to the Hotel Staff to help wash. They also borrowed the Hotel's Kitchen.
The main force for making the All-Fish Feast and Curry Feast was Conan, Kiriko Shirane, Ida Yan, and Haibara Ai.
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko, seeing that the fish had already been delivered by Genta, insisted on not delivering fish anymore and joined the cooking army, assisting the others.
Kanatani Fengren ran outside to buy beverages, candles, and a Birthday Cake to make the Birthday Gathering more atmospheric.
In the Japanese-style Inn Restaurant at Kanagawa Seaside Pier, Doctor Agasa spent his 53rd birthday, lively and bustling as they ate a sumptuous All-Fish Feast and Curry Feast.
After the Hotel Staff became free, they also joined the celebration Gathering.
After the meal, Doctor Agasa faced the Birthday Cake, Looked around at the others whose faces were illuminated by the candlelight, closed his eyes to make a Wish, and blew out the candles.
Chi Feichei, who was sitting at the Entrance, Get Up and turned on the Light, allowing the darkened Room to be filled with Light again.
"Doctor, what Wish did you make?" Mitsuhiko asked impatiently.
"That can't be said," Doctor Agasa said smilingly, "Saying it will make it not Spirit!"
If he had any Wish, it would probably be to hope that the older Child and Children would grow up safely and happily.
It seemed a bit greedy, but it was his Birthday today, so being a little greedy was okay, right?
"Stingy," Genta muttered in a low voice, "What's wrong with Saying it..."
Conan sat on the Wooden Floor, guessing with his Face propped up in one hand, "Doctor wouldn't be Wishing for a constant stream of Research Inspiration in the future year, right?"
"Wrong, wrong," Doctor Agasa was Still smiling, "Shin... Conan guessed wrong."
Haibara Ai touched her chin and speculated, based on the Doctor's Personality...
Chi Feichei also Realized Doctor Agasa's Personality, "Either finding First Love, or hoping everyone grows up safe and happy, or something like that."
Doctor Agasa: "!"
(Surprised)
Was his Intentions written all over his Face? Or Rather, does Hassashi have mind-reading abilities?
Once Seeing Doctor Agasa's Dumbfounded look, Conan Understand, "It seems Brother Chi guessed Correctly, the Correct Answer is within these two Possibility."
Doctor Agasa: "..."
Hey hey, he secretly made a Birthday Wish, could he please have some...
"The latter Possibility is greater," Chi Feichei added.
Doctor Agasa: "..."
(Annoyed)
Very good, it was his Birthday, and they wouldn't even leave him a bit of Privacy.
"Also Correct," Mitsuhiko said with a smile, "How could Doctor possibly have a First Love Lover?"
Doctor Agasa immediately retorted unwillingly, "Don't you guys look down on people, how could I not have a First Love?"
"Hey?" Ayumi's Eyes lit up, "Doctor has a First Love Lover? What kind of person is she?"
Haibara Ai didn't say anything, but also quietly Looked at Doctor Agasa, silently Expectation Gossip in her Heart.
"Children shouldn't ask so much," Doctor Agasa put on a straight Face, he resolutely maintained his last bit of Privacy, but Realized one thing, he Still Turn Head Look Towards Chi Feichei, his Gaze was Doubt and Vigilance, "Hassashi, you wouldn't have Investigation me, would you? I remember I didn't Say to you when my Birthday is."
Chi Feichei found a suitable Reason, "Driver's License."
Doctor Agasa's Old Face flushed red, Realized that there were a few times when he left his Driver's License at Home, and his hands were full of Camping Things and he couldn't free up his hands, so he asked Chi Feichei to Help get it, "Th-That's so, then you Say I'm looking for First Love Lover..."
"There's a Sentence in Chinese Woman writer Eileen Chang's 'Red Rose and White Rose'," Chi Feichei's Expression was Still as calm as ever, "Perhaps every man has had two such Women, at least two. Marrying a Red Rose, over time, the red one becomes a smear of Mosquito blood on the Wall, while the white one is Still 'the Moonlight in front of the Window'. Marrying a White Rose, over time, the white one becomes a grain of Rice sticking to Clothes, but the red one is a cinnabar Mole on the Chest... Is there no one that Doctor yearns for, someone unattainable?"
Doctor Agasa's Old Face continued to flush red, "This, this..."
"Doctor, is there really?" Mitsuhiko leaned forward, looking at Doctor Agasa with Eyes full of Expectation.
Haibara Ai picked up a Cup of Juice, put in a straw, and started drinking.
Tonight was not Doctor's Birthday, but Rather the Interrogation Day where Doctor's little Secret in his Heart was being revealed step by step, right?
"Cough..." Doctor Agasa hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed to mention this now, picked up the Box Chi Feichei gave, "Oh, I almost forgot, I actually really wanted to try solving the Nine Linked Rings, but I never had the Opportunity before..."
Genta Stare with Half-Moon Eyes, "Doctor, you don't want to tell us, but you don't have to be so perfunctory."
Mitsuhiko also Stare with Half-Moon Eyes, "Your Method of diverting the Topic is really too stiff."
"Correct!" Ayumi Nod.
"Even Children can't stand it anymore," Haibara Ai added fuel to the Fire, seeing Doctor Agasa breaking down the Box in a Cold sweat, and couldn't help but smooth things over, "Alright, since Doctor doesn't want to Say today, then let's let him go, today is at least his Birthday, but Red Rose White Rose or something... it's really Reality."
Ayumi Turn Head Ask Conan, "Are boys really like this?"
"That's not true," Conan couldn't help but Say, "There are also many people who, no Matter how long time passes, the Rose is Still the Rose in their Heart, and some people's White Rose and Red Rose are the Same person."
"Makes Sense," Haibara Ai aimed the Gossip Goal at Chi Feichei, "Brother Chi, what about you? Since you are so familiar with this Sentence, do you also have a White Rose or Red Rose in your Heart?"
Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko immediately Looked at Chi Feichei with shining Eyes, Conan and Doctor Agasa also secretly paid Attention, even Hassashi stopped spitting Snake Tongue, letting Chi Feichei experience the History of Doctor Agasa being Gossip just now.
"No," Chi Feichei's Face remained unchanged, very Confirm that he had no Rose Present, "Don't learn from Sonoko, be Careful of becoming a Gossip Woman."
Haibara Ai: "..."
She had to count, how many people Brother Hassashi Attack with this Sentence.
Conan: "..."
Sonoko could get shot even when she wasn't here, but Sonoko was Indeed a Gossip...
Chi Feichei's Sentence Lethality was a bit too much, making Conan and Haibara Ai reflect on whether they were too Gossip today, and after the two of them didn't get involved, the Attention of the other three Children was quickly attracted to the Nine Linked Rings in Doctor Agasa's hand.
"This is the Nine Linked Rings?"
Aside, Kanatani Fengren, Kiriko Shirane, and Ida Yan also curiously crowded closer.
"It Looks like it's locked, how should this be solved?"
Conan and Haibara Ai also Looked over.
"There Seems to be Things in the Box..." Doctor Agasa continued to rummage in the Box and found a Birthday Blessing Card and an Instruction Manual, "Oh! There's also an Instruction Manual for the solution..."
"Doctor, don't Look at the Instruction Manual, try to solve it Oneself and See!" Mitsuhiko Expectation Say.
Genta Nod repeatedly, "Just Like building Building Blocks, if you look at the Diagram to build, you will lose a lot of Joy!"
Chi Feichei Get Up and pulled open the Door of the Kitchen, "I'll go get a Wine Bottle."
Hassashi ran to Doctor Agasa's side to watch, without even Turn Head Say, "Master, come back quickly, I'll watch first!"
"Then I'll go get a Beer too!" Kanatani Fengren Get Up smilingly, "Old Gentleman, you guys Research first, if you Research a solution, you must tell me later!"
"Okay!" Doctor Agasa responded, listening to the Children, put away the Instruction Manual, and fiddled with the Nine Linked Rings Oneself, taking the first ring off the Framework handle, "This counts as taking off the first ring, right? Then the second..."
After fiddling with it, the second ring was unlocked.
The others gathered in a Circle, watching Doctor Agasa solve the third ring, and brainstorming Ideas together.
"The third ring has been taken off," Ayumi pondered, "But the first two rings..."
"Put the first ring back on, try to put the second ring down first," Haibara Ai Say, "Then put the first ring down."
"There is a very obvious Pattern." Conan touched his chin and pondered.
The further back the ring you want to solve, the more obvious the steps, it's simple now, but it will definitely be difficult later, you must figure out the Pattern first...
"Doctor, let me try!" Genta Say seriously, "I Seemingly Discovery the Pattern."
"Oh? Is that so?" Doctor Agasa was a little surprised, and handed the Nine Linked Rings to Genta, "Then everyone try."
Genta took the Nine Linked Rings, dialed the Iron ring, and froze: "..."
He thought he could use the Method of solving the third ring to solve the fourth ring, but now the Problem is...
Eyes: I Understand, I Understand!
Hand: What are you Saying?
Mind: Correct! What are you Saying?
How to solve the fourth ring?
No, he can't back down.
Under everyone's Gaze, Genta Stare at the Nine Linked Rings for a long time, and then handed the Nine Linked Rings to Doctor Agasa, "Doctor, can you Help me put the first three rings back on?"
Mitsuhiko lowered his Head and put a Palm on his Forehead, "Genta..."
"Because I Discovery that if you want to take off the fourth ring, the third ring must be put on the Framework," Genta Half-Moon Eyes, Speechless explained, "But I Don't Know how to put it on."
Chi Feichei carried a Wine Bottle of Rye Whiskey taken from the Hotel Front Desk and walked in with a Glass Cup with an Ice Ball, feeling Unexpected when he heard Genta Say this, "Not bad, you found the Pattern so quickly."
"It Seems everyone has gained a lot, it's not difficult for you at all!" Kanatani Fengren walked in closely behind with two bottles of Beer and two Glass Cup, smilingly Say to Ida Yan, "Mr. Ida, why don't you have a Cup too, drink and watch, how about it?"
"Okay!" Ida Yan Get Up smilingly to Help take the Cup.
Doctor Agasa was Silence, recalling the order in which he solved the first three rings, reversed it, and put the first three rings back out, handed them to Genta, and breathed a sigh of relief in his Heart.
Fortunately, he was able to hold steady and not make a fool of himself in front of the Children.
Genta took the Nine Linked Rings and tried it, Discovery that although the third ring was on the Framework, he Still couldn't take off the fourth ring, it was stuck.
No, he can't ask for Help again, then try it Oneself, re-solve...
Chi Feichei sat down Table, Opened the Wine Bottle, and slowly poured the amber Liquor into the Glass Cup filled with a large Ice Ball.
Haibara Ai Turn Head Looked at the English Language on the Wine Bottle, didn't Say anything, and continued to Look at Genta fiddling.
They were all persecuted by the Organization, and now she felt uncomfortable all over when she saw Liquor, and always thought of the Organization.
However, Brother Hassashi was not drinking Liquor for the First Time, Seemingly Rum, Beer, Wine, Whiskey, etc., he drank them all, this kind of Whiskey with a rich Taste, inexplicably matched Brother Hassashi a bit...
Conan didn't Care either, it wasn't the First Time he had See Chi Feichei drink Rye Whiskey, but Genta's side... was it okay?
Chi Feichei poured the Good Wine, suppressed the not-so-Normal Expectation in his Heart that his Stance was deviating, and put the Wine Bottle Cap on the Table with a Neutral Face.
However, he Still really wanted to try to kill Akai Shuichi...
