Chapter 449 Mori Kogoro: Thank You...
Two days later.
On the Forest Trail, dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves, scattering on the ground.
Mouri Ran held Haibara Ai's hand, walking on the road, and said with a smile, "The air is so fresh! We should come out for walks more often, right, Ai?"
"Mm..." Haibara Ai was Expressionless.
What kind of karma is this...
"Huh? There are flower bushes over there," Mouri Ran lowered her head and asked Haibara Ai, "Whether or Not to take a Photo?"
Haibara Ai: "No."
"Then... we'll talk about it later." Mouri Ran felt regret in her heart and couldn't help but secretly glance at Haibara Ai again.
Haibara Ai understood the subtext - 'Next time there's a beautiful view, I'll ask you Whether or Not to take a Photo again'.
The beginning of the Matters started from Chi Feichei picking her up from Doctor Agasa's House early in the morning.
Chi Feichei bought her a Skirt that was said to be very Suitable for Forest Bathing.
A Dress with irregular edges.
The length reached her calves, with tulle Skirt Hem that looked like Leaves falling, at first glance it was white, but in fact it was dyed in very light Rainbow colors, each piece of Skirt Hem was a different Color.
Plus the fluffy feeling created by layers of tulle...
In Mouri Ran's Words, it was - like a little fairy in the Forest.
She couldn't resist at the time, so she wore it.
Because the tailoring, dyeing, and Style were all exquisite, not to mention how much Money Chi Feichei spent to buy it, any Woman who saw it couldn't resist the Charm of this Little Dress, okay?
Anyway, since they were going to the Forest, and there weren't many people, it didn't matter if she dressed conspicuously... right?
Initially, although she also felt a little unaccustomed, she was still secretly pleased, until she met Mouri Ran, she was hugged by Mouri Ran, then took a Car to Gunma, then to the Forest, Mouri Ran seemed to have forgotten that there was also a Conan, holding her hand and not letting go, painstakingly trying to take Photos of her...
"Ai... sitting on the Lawn to take Photos is also nice." Mouri Ran saw a patch of Grass, and looked down at Haibara Ai again.
Tea-colored wavy hair, lake-blue Eyes, plus a beautiful Little Dress, really... (≧▽≦) So cute!
Ahhh... like a Doll! She Decided that she would raise a Daughter in the future! Give her Daughter a cute Hairstyle, dress her in a Skirt like a little fairy, and then kiss and hug her every day, take Photos together, those Days would be simply too wonderful. Child's father? No, no, the child's father is no longer important...
"Sorry, I don't want to take Photos." Haibara Ai refused with a black line on her forehead, silently looked at Conan behind her, asking for help, could Famous Detective please pester Mouri Ran like before?
Conan followed Chi Feichei, completely not noticing Haibara Ai's Gaze for help, "Brother Chi, are you tired?"
Alas, guilt still hasn't Subsided, inexplicably wanting to curry favor with Chi Feichei and act cute.
"Are you tired?" Chi Feichei asked.
"No, not really..." Conan chuckled dryly, and sighed in his Heart. Could you blame him a little... please blame him!
Haibara Ai turned her Head and saw Conan following Chi Feichei like this, Silence.
Edogawa has also changed, don't you want your Ran anymore?
She really can't take Photos, it would be terrible if they spread... please save her!
Mouri Ran also Turn Head and looked at Conan, and asked Haibara Ai curiously, "Do you want to take Photos with Conan together?"
"Huh?" Conan was confused.
"No." Haibara Ai denied decisively.
Mouri Ran nodded seriously, "Conan's outfit today is not handsome enough, taking Photos with Ai will be very Weird..."
Conan: "..."
Don't be so subtle, he Understood, it means that if he wears this outfit and takes Photos with Haibara Ai, it will lower the level of the Photos, right?
Arrows of arrows pierced his Heart, hurting so much that he couldn't Breath.
"If I had known earlier, I would have prepared a set of nicer Clothes for Conan..." Mouri Ran regretted again.
"Although Ai's outfit is very nice, you don't have to keep clamoring about taking Photos," Mori Kogoro, wearing Sunglasses, followed lazily behind, "You've already asked twenty-five times along the way, if she wants to take Photos, she will take the initiative to bring it up, Children have Rebellious Mentality, if you keep mentioning it, she might not want to take them instead."
Haibara Ai breathed a sigh of relief in her Heart, finally someone was speaking up for her, and it was still the most unreliable Uncle usually. Thank you, Uncle...
"I want to take Photos and show them to Sonoko too, and Ai is so cute, it's such a Pity not to take a Photo and save it!" After Mouri Ran retorted, she didn't mention taking Photos again, Turn Head and asked Chi Feichei, "By the Way, Brother Hichiji, where did you buy the Skirt?"
Mori Kogoro sized up his Daughter and Considered for a moment, "This is Children's wear, you can't even wear the largest size."
Mouri Ran Half-Moon Eyes: "..."
She can't wear it, but she wants to buy it and collect it, can't she let her Daughter wear it in the future...?
Chi Feichei took Conan and followed Mouri Ran, "Look at the very bottom corner of the light Purple Skirt Hem."
"Huh?" Mouri Ran bent down to look at Haibara Ai's Skirt Hem, and finally found the embroidered word 'Field' at the very bottom corner of a tulle Skirt, because it was also very light Purple embroidery thread, if you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't see it, "Isn't Field only for Adult wear?"
"Brother Chi, does Field Group intend to enter the Children's wear industry?" Conan also asked curiously.
"No," Chi Feichei continued to walk forward, "This is what I gave the Design Blueprint for and had Britain rush to make, only one was made."
Mouri Ran: "!" Σ(っ°Д°;)っ Brother Hichiji's Design Blueprint?! Conan was also surprised, is Chi Feichei this Fellow... omnipotent?
Haibara Ai was also a little surprised, lowered her head and looked at her Little Dress, it was good that she hadn't refused to wear it before, it was too weighty.
"Ayumi's also has one," Chi Feichei continued, "There are pink three-dimensional Little Flower sewn from the Shoulder to the Waist, going halfway around and then to the Skirt Hem, the Skirt body is also white tulle, Suitable for attending Banquets, they are all Drafts that I usually draw casually, I asked if they could make them over there, and they made them..."
"Re-Really..." Mouri Ran imagined it in her mind, just thinking about it made her feel it should be beautiful, and judging from the Style of Haibara Ai's Little Dress, it would definitely be very ethereal too.
"Originally, I also Intentioned to draw one for Conan, Genta, and Mitsuhiko, but I'm not very good at it, I can't draw it, so I gave up," Chi Feichei said, "For men's wear design, my Mother is better at it, but she doesn't have much Time to Call me, I'll talk to her another Day when I contact her."
That's true. His Formal Dress are basically the designs his Old Mom gave, anyway, Field also has clothing design and production, just give the designs to people to make, and he Guess his Old Dad's side is about the same.
"No Need to be so Troublesome." Conan was a little flattered.
Mouri Ran smiled, and said with longing, "When I have Time, I want to See Ayumi's Skirt, if she can wear it with Ai, it would be even better, looking at this kind of Skirt, I even want to go back ten years!"
Conan, Haibara Ai: "..." What can they Say, who have Already regressed by ten years?
"Stop daydreaming!" Mori Kogoro ruthlessly shattered his Daughter's Fantasy, "By the Way, when will we arrive? Since Brother Hichiji has a Car, wouldn't it be fine to drive there? Why do we have to walk a roundabout Road in the Forest..."
"What does it Matter?" Mouri Ran retorted, "Anyway, we can reach the Hotel we are going to by walking through the Forest, and besides, it's still very early from the Promised Time."
Mori Kogoro looked resentful, "I want to get there earlier, and then take a leisurely Hot Bath..."
"And you're still talking, why do you keep wearing Sunglasses? It will leave a bad Impression on people!" Mouri Ran reminded him.
"You're so stupid! How can I let people know that the dignified Mori Kogoro's eyelid was stung by a Mosquito and got a big bump?" Mori Kogoro pushed up the Sunglasses on his nose, covered his swollen eyelid, and showed an admiring perverted smile, "Besides, if there are Famous Detective fans of mine in that Hotel, wouldn't I be a laughingstock?"
The perverted smile didn't last for two seconds, Mori Kogoro was tripped by a small Stone Statue that had fallen on the Road and lunged forward.
Beside him, Chi Feichei Reach Out his Hand subconsciously and pulled him.
Mori Kogoro's Face instantly turned green, "..." Thank You, but his throat was choked by his collar...
"Sorry." Chi Feichei let go of his Hand.
Mori Kogoro fell forward, Face down on the Ground: "..." Thank You, giving him another Opportunity to fall.
Haibara Ai, Mouri Ran, Conan: "..." It's quite awkward.
Chi Feichei: "..." This... After being pulled, didn't Teacher Mouri Consider getting up quickly by Oneself? If Mori Kogoro had steadied himself after being pulled, even if he let go, it wouldn't have been like this. This Responsibility... he doesn't want to take it.
Mori Kogoro sat up by Oneself, glanced at Chi Feichei gloomily, wouldn't this kid help him up by his Arm? Why did he have to pull his collar, and let go after pulling once, it's simply deadly... But this Disciple was staring at him with an Expressionless face, he felt it was inappropriate to say any complaints.
Silently looking at the Stone Statue that caused him to be tripped... Hmm? This he can complain about!
"Which immoral Ghost put the Rock here?!"
"This..." Mouri Ran squatted down beside him, "It's a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I Don't Know why it fell on the Road, we have to quickly help it up..."
Just as Mouri Ran and Conan were about to help up the Stone Statue, a Car that came from behind braked to a stop beside them.
"Don't move! Put it down quickly!" the person in the Car shouted, "If you help up that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you will all be Cursed!"
Chi Feichei and the others Turn Head.
It was an acquaintance, Shancun Cao, the rookie Police Officer from Gunma Prefecture...
"Ah!" Shancun Cao drove the Car forward a little, passed Mori Kogoro and the others before stopping, leaned out of the Car Window, staring at Haibara Ai Roadside with shining Eyes, "So there really is a Forest Princess in the Forest!"
Haibara Ai silently Dodged behind Chi Feichei, another weird Uncle appeared again...
"But, this Forest Princess looks a bit familiar..." Shancun Cao recalled with a serious Face, "Let me think, it seems like..."
"Police Officer Shancun." Chi Feichei spoke up to remind Shancun Cao not to ignore them. This rookie Police Officer... clearly saw Haibara Ai at the Hotel last time.
"Huh?" Only then did Shancun Cao notice the others, "Isn't this Famous Detective Mori Kogoro who was almost arrested by me last time?"
"What are you Say So..." Mori Kogoro was Speechless.
"What Wind blew you here today?" Shancun Cao asked proactively.
Mori Kogoro Turn Head to look ahead, "I just happen to have some Matters, I'm going to the Sunflower Inn ahead."
"You're not going to investigate the Victim in the red Coat with an unknown Identity, are you?" Shancun Cao asked again.
Mori Kogoro nodded in surprise, "Yes..."
"I'm also going to the Sunflower Inn because of this Case this time!" Shancun Cao introduced very proactively, "That Corpse was discovered in this 'Head God Forest', 'Head God' is the Plague God that causes headaches, if people with Worry walk into this Forest, they will be confused by the Head God and unable to get out of this Forest, so this place is also a Suicide holy site!"
"Sui-Suicide holy site?" Mouri Ran felt a chill down her back.
"According to Say So, there probably aren't many people in the World who can get out of this Forest." Chi Feichei said. If that's really the case, this place would have become famous and been sealed off long ago. Besides, there's a Death God beside him, bringing death wherever he goes, what's there to be afraid of Head God?

Two days later.
On the Forest Trail, dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves, scattering on the ground.
Mouri Ran held Haibara Ai's hand, walking on the road, and said with a smile, "The air is so fresh! We should come out for walks more often, right, Ai?"
