Chapter 340: Relaxation time after the case, staying in a strange mansion

The sports car arrived at a hotel that looked like a manor.

When parking the car, Youya glanced around the parking lot and found that there were many luxury cars parked here. He immediately showed a somewhat surprised expression.

The two of them walked in and were led by the waiter to a window seat in the hall.

When ordering the dishes, Youya looked at the prices and fell into a brief silence - the prices of the dishes here were unexpectedly expensive, even more expensive than some big restaurants in Tokyo.

The waiter noticed Yuya's expression and smiled and said, "Is this your first time here?"

Yuya nodded.

The waiter did not neglect Yuya and his partner because they were young. He saw with his own eyes that they drove a very luxurious sports car. He had received many guests and had a broad vision. He recognized that it was Ford's latest convertible sports car...

He continued to smile: "Then please let me introduce our restaurant..."

After listening to the waiter's introduction, Youya finally got to know more about this restaurant.

First of all, the decoration here is very nice, and because it is located in the suburbs, the vegetables in the restaurant are directly grown in the nearby fields, and the chickens, ducks, fish, geese and the like are also caught and killed on the spot, and the ingredients are guaranteed to be the freshest - except that the price is a little bit higher, there is nothing to complain about.

Following the waiter's recommendation, Youya ordered a few of the signature dishes here.

"I didn't expect that the restaurant I had to choose because there were no other places to eat nearby was actually a very famous place?" Youya supported his chin with both hands and looked at the decoration of the hotel.

Miyano Shiho also propped her chin up with both hands, with a half-smile on her face: "Finally I can calm down and eat something."

Yuya's expression froze, and he said awkwardly: "It's nothing, there was an accident."

"Yeah." Miyano Shiho didn't say much. At this time, she had already confirmed that Yu had the same event-prone physique as Conan.

And if you try it intentionally, it seems to stimulate the body and make the physical condition worse?

Didn’t you see that we encountered two cases in just one afternoon?

Of course, Miyano Shiho wouldn't mind Yuya having an eventful physique, it's just a pity...

"What a pity, you lost the bet this time." Miyano Shiho said with a smile.

Youye suddenly became depressed, mumbling something to himself, but no one knew what he was saying.

The smugness on Miyano Shiho's face grew even stronger.

While the two were chatting, the dishes they ordered came up one by one. It was exactly as the waiter had introduced, the ingredients were very fresh and the taste was excellent.

Even Miyano Shiho squinted her eyes the whole time with a happy expression on her face.

After finishing his meal and eating some dessert, Youya couldn't help burping, then he lay down comfortably on the seat to digest the food.

It seems that human luck is really conserved. We encountered two cases during the day, and we immediately arranged for a delicious restaurant to compensate them.

No loss, no loss today.

But... thinking about the loss of the bet, Youya's mood suddenly became bad.

But he really wants the prize! What should he do?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a vague rhythmic clapping sound from the box next to me, which sounded a bit...

Yuya, who was thinking about something, accidentally lost his mind and looked over subconsciously.

But he immediately realized that someone was clapping to attract other people's attention before speaking.

The soundproofing in this hotel is average... After being expensive, Yuya added another disadvantage to this hotel.

Seeing Youya suddenly turn his head to look at the box, Miyano Shiho was startled and looked over instinctively. Realizing that she was overthinking, she quickly withdrew her attention and continued to taste the dessert in front of her.

After Miyano Shiho finished her dessert, Yuya said, "Let's go?"

Miyano Shiho nodded slightly, took the tissue and wiped her mouth, and the two got up and left.

When it was time to pay the bill, Youya asked about it and it turned out that the hotel was very popular and had no rooms available, so the two had to leave and look for other places to stay.

Youya looked at the long list of numbers on the bill and was silent.

Although he knew that the prices here were not low and he didn't pay too much attention when he ordered the dishes just now, but when he really saw the bill, Yuye couldn't help but sigh - it's really expensive!

No wonder there are so many luxury cars parked in the parking lot. Ordinary people may not be able to afford the food here.

Miyano Shiho looked at the bill and covered her mouth with her hands in surprise: "So expensive?"

Youye shrugged his shoulders: "But it tastes really good. It's okay. I have a lot of money, so I'm not worried."

Miyano Shiho nodded: "I know."

Youya pinched her soft cheeks and said with a smile: "Let's go, find a place to stay for one night, and go back tomorrow."

Before leaving, Miyano Shiho couldn't help but look back at the hotel - she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with leaving so peacefully...

···

Yuya looked at the tourist map and said, "It seems like we still need to drive for more than an hour to the nearest hotel? It takes about the same amount of time to go back to the city. It's really awkward, we're stuck in the middle."

Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment, looked at the fuel gauge, and said helplessly: "But, it seems that the gasoline will not last until then..."

"Ah? No oil again?" Youye widened his eyes. Why did this scene feel familiar?

"It's a sports car," Miyano Shiho shrugged. "Although the fuel tank is a little bigger than that of an ordinary car, the fuel consumption is not small."

Youye scratched his head in a headache: "It seems that I have to buy another car. It is still not convenient to drive a sports car to far places."

"If you want to go to a distant place, take the Shinkansen," Miyano Shiho said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Do you want to drive me to death?"

Youye smiled awkwardly: "I didn't expect this... When I turn 18 and get my driver's license, you won't have to work so hard."

Miyano Shiho nodded and asked casually, "How long will it take?"

Yuya was stunned. This question actually asked him...

When Conan became a child, he was about half a year away from turning 18, but with the confusion of the timeline, he clearly felt that more than half a year had passed, but in the end, his birthday seemed to be far away...

I did have a summer vacation once, and I went to the beach in Izu, where I met Kyogoku Makoto... It's just weird.

There was no other way, so Youye could only mumble: "It's almost there, it's almost there..."

Miyano Shiho looked at him in confusion but didn't say much.

"What should we do now?" Miyano Shiho asked, "If we keep driving, it will be troublesome if the car runs out of gas."

Youye scratched his head, looked at the map and said, "Let me see where the nearest gas station is..."

"Wait, look what's over there?" Miyano Shiho suddenly shouted.

Yuya looked up and saw a path extending from the road not far away. Looking up along the path, he could see a black outline.

"It seems like there are houses here?" Youye was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the map. There was no mark on it.

"Maybe it's a private residence? Do you want to go take a look?" asked Miyano Shiho.

Youye thought about it and nodded: "Let's go ask. At most, we can spend some money and they should be able to let us stay for one night."

After parking the sports car on the side of the road, Yuya and Miyano Shiho walked up the path and came to a somewhat dilapidated house.

"It doesn't look like there's anyone here?" Youye touched the open door, which was covered with dust. There were spider webs hanging under the eaves, and in the moonlight he could vaguely see a few spiders weaving their webs.

"This house feels quite luxurious, but it's too old and so shabby." Miyano Shiho said, looking up.

Yuya looked at the darkness inside and couldn't help but say, "Yeah, it feels like something will suddenly come out."

Miyano Shiho's expression froze, and she subconsciously asked, "What is it?"

Yuya chuckled and leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice: "Of course it's a ghost, suddenly appearing and saying 'hello~'."

Miyano Shiho couldn't help but roll her eyes. This is just a lie to a child...

"Hello!" Suddenly, a somewhat low male voice sounded in the darkness.

Miyano Shiho couldn't help but tremble, and threw herself into Yuya's arms, screaming uncontrollably.

You was also startled, clenched his fists and shouted, "Who is it?"

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry." A man walked out of the darkness with a laugh.

With the help of the moonlight, Youya could barely make out that the man was in his early 30s and had a backpack on his back.

"Are you the owner of this place?" Youye asked.

"No, no," the man denied hastily, "I'm a passerby who passed by here on foot. My name is Furukawa Ryu. I saw the lights here so I came to see if I could stay for the night."

"Are you here to stay as well?" Youye raised an eyebrow. However, judging from the man's attire, he did look like a tourist. "Then what did you mean just now? Did you scare us on purpose?"

Furukawa Ryu laughed twice: "Sorry, sorry, you guys arrived right after me, and what you said was exactly the same as what I used to trick my girlfriend, I couldn't help but..."

"However," Furukawa Ryu shrugged his shoulders, looked at Miyano Shiho who was hugging Yuya tightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems to be effective?"

"Thank you!" Youye resisted the urge to curse. He was really scared just now and was even considering whether karate could deal with ghosts.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, hahaha!" Furukawa Ryu touched the back of his head and laughed.

You was speechless. Is this person a fool? I'm not really thanking you!

"So, have you seen the owner of this place?" Youye asked.

Furukawa Ryu shook his head: "I heard your voices as soon as I arrived, but I didn't have time to..."

"Hey, what is that?" Miyano Shiho suddenly spoke, pointing behind the man with trembling hands.

"Hey, hey, I said I didn't mean it just now. Is there a need to..." Furukawa Ryu was a little dissatisfied, but when he saw the two people retreating, a bad thought arose in his mind. He quickly turned around and saw two balls of ghost fire floating in the air, swinging towards them.

"Ah! Will-o'-the-wisp? There's a ghost!" Ryu Furukawa screamed, and stumbled but quickly hid behind Youya.

“···???” Youye was speechless. It’s scary. Aren’t you too timid?

"Yuya..." Miyano Shiho held Yuya's arm tightly, her fingers turning white from the force.

"Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in this world." Youye patted her hand to comfort her.

As they were talking, the two "ghost lights" floated closer and closer, and the three of them could see clearly that they were actually two lanterns.

Furukawa Ryu breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "...What era is this? Why are there still people carrying lanterns? Don't they have flashlights?"

With the light from the lantern, Youye could see clearly that the people holding the lanterns were a man and a woman. He didn't know if it was because of the light, but Youye felt that these two people were a little... unhealthy?

He was as thin as a drug addict, especially his sunken eye sockets, as if he hadn't slept well for months.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" the man asked in a hoarse voice.

Yuya quickly spoke up: "Um, sorry, our car didn't have enough gas to drive to the hotel, and we saw a house here, so we thought we could stay here for the night."

Seeing that the man didn't answer and the woman didn't seem to want to talk, he quickly added, "I can pay for it!"

The man's lips moved, and he looked at Youye with dull eyes: "Okay, but we are the only ones living here with our mother, and the empty room hasn't been cleaned much, so it might be a little dirty... But there are clean spare quilts."

Yuya couldn't help but glance at Miyano Shiho. He didn't mind, but if Miss Shiho was a girl...

Miyano Shiho whispered, "I'm not that delicate. Anyway, it's just for one night. A clean blanket is enough."

Yuya quickly said, "A blanket is enough."

The man nodded and looked at Furukawa Ryu: "Mr...."

After confirming that the person who came was not a ghost but a human, Furukawa Ryu returned to his nonchalant manner and laughed, "I am a passerby on foot, and I am also here to stay. The room doesn't matter, as long as there is a quilt. But I haven't eaten yet, it would be even better if you can provide me with a meal, and it would be best if you can let me take a shower."

You couldn't help but look sideways, this guy had a lot of demands.

"Hehehe..." The man suddenly laughed a few times, but his laughter was quite creepy in the darkness.

"I'm the host here, my name is Nakajima Daisuke, and this is my wife Yuka. We're about to have dinner, so if you don't mind, we can eat together."

"Sorry for bothering you!" Furukawa Ryu thanked happily.

"We've already eaten, so..." Yuya said.

Nakajima Daisuke suddenly gave Youya a cold look: "It's so late, even if you've had dinner, I'm sure this guest is hungry, right? Why don't we eat together?"

Youya narrowed his eyes, his look a little serious. This man gave him a very bad aura, and his sickly look always made him feel like there was something wrong with him.

He glanced at Furukawa Ryu. Even though this man had just scared them, he could tell that he was a rough guy with no good brains. If there was any problem here, Youya would not be able to bear to leave him alone.

So he nodded and said, "Sorry to bother you, but just prepare some refreshments for us."

"No problem, please come with us." Nakajima Daisuke smiled with satisfaction, but this smile looked quite eerie and scary under the dim light of the lantern.

Nakajima Daisuke turned and walked into the house.

Just as Youya was about to catch up, Nakajima Yuuka, who had been silent, suddenly winked at him and mouthed a few words.

"Yuuka?" came the voice of Daisuke Nakajima calling.

Yuuka Nakajima shuddered, lowered her head, turned around and followed her husband.

Yuya frowned. What Nakajima Yuka just said was... run?

He was about to say something when he saw Furukawa Ryu following him without any intention, whistling, and it seemed that he had not noticed Nakajima Yuka's warning just now.

Yuya thought for a moment, then whispered to Miyano Shiho, "Follow me closely and don't separate from me."

Although Miyano Shiho was a little confused, she nodded obediently and hugged Yuya's arm tightly.

Youya took a deep breath, looked deeply at the two people in front of him, and followed them.
