Chapter 1052: It's Over, Another One
Chi Feichei sat down behind the table, reached out, picked up the Hot Water Kettle, and poured Warm Water into an empty Cup on the Table.
Conan lowered his head, Staring at Chi Feichei's Hand pouring the Water. His Face was Still Pale and Ugly.
Was it because the embroidery on the Clothes was too exquisite, the layers of Hand-dyed color were too strong, constantly telling Others that 'these Clothes look expensive and the Price is also expensive', invisibly increasing the sense of distance?
Or was it because the Weather was too Cold with Snow Outside, making him feel that the excessive White color of the Clothes looked Cold?
Or was it that the Skin Chi Feichei exposed from his Clothes was reflected too White by the sky, his posture was too straight, his expression was too Indifference, his Temperament was too Calmness, and his Eyes were Still like a deep spring without ripples, all of which originally gave people an 'Indifference' Feeling, and this Feeling was strengthened by the Clothes?
Feichi poked his Head out from Chi Feichei's Sleeve, resting his Head in the Teacup to drink Water.
Conan, Staring at Chi Feichei's Right Hand: "..."
He felt his Little Partner was even less like a Human.
Chi Feichei saw Conan Staring at his Hand without Speaking Out, observed A Bit, and found that the Famous Detective's Face was Pale and terrifyingly Ugly, his Pupil dilated, Just Like he had seen a Ghost. He couldn't help but Speak Out and Ask, "What's Wrong with you?"
Conan took a moment to recover. He wanted to look up at Chi Feichei, but found his Inner Self was resisting. He said Speechless, "I Say... you should Still wear Black in the future."
Although when Chi Feichei wore Black, it occasionally gave him the Illusion that 'I'm here to cause trouble', at least he Still seemed like a Human.
But when Chi Feichei wore White, every time he saw him, he felt Chi Feichei wasn't Human, either like a Ghost, or like he was now. He wasn't sure if that Feeling was 'Deity', After All, he had never seen a Deity and couldn't distinguish it, But it was Just not Normal, making him feel 'Terror' inexplicably.
Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight, "Psychopath."
Conan: "..."
He...
Never Mind, at least the Aura that made him feel Terror wasn't so strong anymore.
"Slide!"
The Room Door was pulled open.
"Brother Hichiji, Conan..." Mouri Ran smiled as she pulled Haibara Ai Go Out. She looked up and saw Chi Feichei sitting at the Table Front with his back to the Window. The Smile on her Face and she herself froze at the Same Time, "We... We..."
Haibara Ai also froze in the Original Place, her Face stiff, her Pupil constricted. She couldn't Say why she felt Repression in her Heart.
Chi Feichei Turn Head and looked over. Haibara Ai's outfit was mostly Blue, with exquisite and luxurious water patterns and White Crane hot dyeing and embroidery. The Children's Belt color was brighter, making his Little Sister look like another Doll with a slightly Calm Style. She could get full marks and Good Point.
But What's Wrong with this Face? Was he that scary?
Instantly Indifference Face.
In the Silence, Feichi had drunk enough Water. He looked up, "Master, the Temperature of those Three People is very Low. Only the Heart Location is Orange. Half of their Heads are Black."
Whether the Heads of these Three People were Black or not, Chi Feichei didn't Know, But his Face was about to turn Black. "What's Wrong with you two Again?"
"Ah?" Mouri Ran Lower Head, her Mind Still A Bit blank. She responded Subconsciously, "Nothing... Nothing..."
Just as Conan was about to Get Up to Relieve the Atmosphere when Mori Kogoro's Voice came from Outside the Door.
"I Say, are you guys ready yet? Really... taking so long to put away Luggage. Miss Eri Said she could Keep Company us to look around..."
Conan: "..."
It's Over, Another One.
"Slide..."
The Door leading to the Outside Corridor was pulled open. Mori Kogoro entered the Door. The First Thing he saw was Chi Feichei sitting behind the table, his Right Hand resting on the Teacup on the Table, looking up at him with an Indifference expression. The White hem of his Haori Jacket was spread out on the Ground, and the Black Ash Snake Head had Just shrunk back into the White Sleeve...
A Little Bit...
No, it Should be Said...
Conan Get Up, wanting to Reach Out and pull down Chi Feichei's Sleeve, Acting Cute to Relieve the Emotions of the Others, But he found he Actually couldn't Reach Out. As soon as he Thought about pulling Chi Feichei's Sleeve, his Inner Self Seemingly had an invisible Consciousness resisting.
Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight and Get Up, walking back to the Room.
Mori Kogoro watched the Room Door close, then Looked at the Other Three People. He Opened his Mouth, wanting to Say Something, But didn't Know What to Say.
Inside the Room, Feichi wrapped his Body around Chi Feichei's Neck, sighing in his Heart.
Alas, Master has to change Clothes Again. It's so Cold Outside.
Chi Feichei took off the Kimono, changed into the Clothes he came in, pulled out Feichi who was trying to drill under his Clothes, and lifted him out.
"Ow!" Feichi quickly wrapped himself around Chi Feichei's Arm, trying to move into the Sleeve, "Master, Cold Cold Cold Cold Cold..."
Chi Feichei Looked at Feichi, Confirming that there was Indeed A Bit of opacity in Feichi's Eyes. He reminded him in a low Voice, "You're about to Shedding Skin."
"Ah?" Feichi Still tried hard to drill into Chi Feichei's Sleeve, "But Snakes don't Shedding Skin in Winter, do they?"
Chi Feichei released his Hand, letting Feichi crawl into the Sleeve. "Snakes Hibernate in Winter. You didn't Hibernate either, did you?"
Feichi drilled under the Clothes and breathed a sigh of relief warmly, "Phew... I don't want to Hibernate. It's so much better to come out and play. We can go to the Hot Spring later!"
"Either it's Because you haven't Hibernated for too Long, or it's my Problem. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately, and I'll take you back."
After Saying that, Chi Feichei Opened the Door and calmly Said to the Four People who were silently staying in the Original Place Outside, "Sorry, I'm A Bit sleepy, so I won't Go Out with you."
Just Now, the Reaction of the Others was Wrong. It was Possible that the Three No Golden Finger was planning to cause trouble Again.
The Probability was Fifty-Fifty, But he had better avoid Others and stay by himself, lest he put on a 'Monster Transformation Show' in front of Others...
Before the Four People Outside could Speak Out, the Door was closed by Chi Feichei Again.
Mouri Ran and Haibara Ai exchanged a Glance, feeling A Bit of Worry.
Was it because their Reaction Just Now was too Weird, making Brother Hichiji feel that he was collectively rejected by everyone?
But there was nothing they could do. Just Now, they Indeed felt they shouldn't get close to Chi Feichei, and it was the Same now. They wanted to go up and knock on the Door, But couldn't move their Footstep.
Mori Kogoro took a deep breath, stepped forward quickly, and was about to Call Chi Feichei to Go Together in a more Relaxation Tone. Before he could Speak Out, the Door opened with a 'Slide'.
Chi Feichei Looked at Mori Kogoro blocking his Entrance, and explained, "I'm going to take a Bath First."
"Ah," Mori Kogoro Bean Eyes, stepped Aside to make way, "Okay..."
Mouri Ran, Conan, and Haibara Ai: "..."
This was a Teacher who couldn't control his Disciple Kuroki Jiro at all.
...
Chi Feichei went to the Indoor Hot Spring and found it was full of People. After Asking at the Front Desk, he learned that the Open-air Hot Spring on the Cliff behind was currently empty and could be booked. So he simply booked it for an Hour and took Feichi to the Hot Spring.
If conditions allowed, he didn't want to drill into the Bedding wearing the Clothes he had been running around Outside in. Considering that he had to change Clothes for sleeping anyway, he might as well take a Bath By the Way.
Feichi lay in the Crack of the Rock by the Hot Spring Poolside, his Tail and more than half of his Body hanging on the Water surface, hitting the Water surface intermittently. His Tone was Sorrow, "Master, You Say am I Sick?"
"It's Also Possible that you haven't Hibernated for too Long, and your Body has been metabolizing and growing. When the time comes, you need to Shedding Skin, even in Winter. Due To the Warm Environment you usually live in, you don't need to Hibernate, so Shedding Skin no longer follows the Season Pattern," Chi Feichei leaned against the Rock Aside, looking at the Misty Water surface in the Front. "Many Snakes Shedding Skin in Spring, meaning they enter Hibernation when it's Time to Shedding Skin. During Hibernation, they reduce metabolism by not eating or drinking, and can wait until Spring after Hibernation to Shedding Skin. So, your Shedding Skin now doesn't mean there's a Problem with your Body. Moreover, you can Hibernate First, which Should allow you to wait until the Weather gets Hotter to Shedding Skin. But I need to Confirm A Bit, have you felt uncomfortable with your Whole Body Tense Recently?"
"Uh-huh..." Feichi Thought for A Bit, "It's been a Long Time, more than a Month has been Tense. I'm Already used to it. Anyway, it will be like this Afterwards. Is this the Feeling of being about to Shedding Skin?"
Chi Feichei: "...Yes."
He didn't Know how Feichi had lived until now.
This wasn't the First Time. Last Time Feichi was about to Shedding Skin, he was Still carefree and had no awareness of 'I'm about to Shedding Skin'. He had to remind him to Sense it.
After taking a Bath, Chi Feichei changed into a Yukata and, carrying Feichi, asked the Inn Owner for a Plastic Box and a Wet Towel.
When he brought them to the Room, the Other Four People had Already Go Out. Chi Feichei entered the Bedroom and prepared a simple 'Lounge' for Feichi using the Box and Wet Towel.
The Indoors had Heating, so Feichi wouldn't be Cold inside and the Environment could be kept moist, which was beneficial for Shedding Skin in a few Days.
Feichi lay in the Box for A Bit, watched Chi Feichei get into the Bedding to sleep, waited for A Bit, pushed Open the Lid, and Whoosh! darted into the Bedding, quietly crawling onto Chi Feichei's Chest and coiling up High, poking his Head out of the Bedding.
Chi Feichei Opened his Eyes, Staring.
"Cough, Master," Feichi felt guilty, "You're not asleep yet. I don't want to live in the Box by myself, it's A Bit Cold."
Chi Feichei 'Uh-huh'd and Closed his Eyes.
Whoever is about to Shedding Skin is the biggest. He spoils his own Snake.
...
On the Path Outside the Hotel, the Snow had been shoveled to the Roadside.
Mori Kogoro and Conan walked in Silence. Mouri Ran held Haibara Ai's Hand and also walked quietly behind.
"What's Wrong?" Eri Akachi asked with Concern, "Everyone doesn't Seem to be in High spirits."
Mouri Ran sighed, forcing a Smile, "It's Nothing, Sorry, Teacher Eri, we ruined your Mood for looking at the Scenery."
"It's Okay, I often write at Kotoya Inn, I've Already seen the Scenery here," Eri Akachi smiled, "I'm Just more Worry about you. Mr. Chi isn't with you, and the Little Sister is dressed so beautifully but looks like she has Worries. Could it be that Mr. Chi is Sick?"
"No." Mouri Ran quickly denied.
"Then... did you argue?" Eri Akachi speculated.
"No..." Mouri Ran hesitated, Looked at the God Statue enshrined by the Roadside in the Front, "Teacher Eri, it's not that we want to hide it from you, But we really Don't Know how to Say it. Brother Hichiji Said he was A Bit sleepy and wanted to Rest, so he wouldn't come with us. Before this, we didn't argue either, Just..."
"Just that Kid changed into a White and Blue Kimono, and he Just felt A Bit Wrong," Mori Kogoro Half-Moon Eyes, glancing at the God Statue by the Roadside, "He was Just Like a God Statue, very Weird. We were scared for a moment."
"Ah?" Eri Akachi looked at the God Statue with Doubt.
The God Statues here are all Kimono Sleeve Deity, whose appearance is a Female wearing a gorgeous Kimono.
Thinking of Chi Feichei's handsome Face and slender Body, she couldn't imagine what kind of Kimono could make such a Person 'scary'.
"It didn't look scary," Mouri Ran looked at the God Statue, recalling the Feeling at the Time, "It was a very Weird Feeling, Just Like facing a God Statue, feeling very strange, requiring us to have reverence. That Feeling was very uncomfortable, Just Like he and everyone were separated by something invisible, so we were completely unable to Say anything at the Time, and didn't want to get close to him. Even though we were very Worry that he was overthinking, when he Said he wasn't coming, we couldn't Speak Out to persuade him to come Together..."
End of Chapter
Chi Feichei sat down behind the table, reached out, picked up the Hot Water Kettle, and poured Warm Water into an empty Cup on the Table.
Conan lowered his head, Staring at Chi Feichei's Hand pouring the Water. His Face was Still Pale and Ugly.
