"Hehe, I didn't know Junhui had acted in a movie before—'The Sea of Dreams: Mermaid Legend.' Ayako said she had seen it!"
Yukiko said with a smile, holding Junhui's hand.
"The Legend of the Mermaid?"
Chikako Ikeda exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that the movie that won the grand prize at the Tokyo University Student Club Film Festival three years ago? A big part of the reason that movie won the award was because the mermaid was so realistic, it was practically like it was real. So it was Junhui and you guys who made it?"
"Yeah, we were freshmen that year, just joining the film club!" Ayako echoed Chikako's words, smiling as she spoke.
"I never imagined that I would have the chance to meet the filmmaker of the movie that I enjoyed watching back then!"
"You're too kind!"
Kimie Shimabukuro was a little embarrassed.
One of these two is the heiress of the Suzuki Group, and the other was introduced by Yukiko earlier—
He is the director and screenwriter of the recently popular film "Blue Country," and has already made a name for himself in the film industry.
Compared to others, she was just an ordinary shrine maiden on a remote island; the gap was too vast.
"Wait, something's not right?"
Chikako Ikeda frowned. "You won the grand prize that year, so you should have been getting offers from film and television companies soon. It's been three years, and we haven't heard from you at all. With your skills, this shouldn't be happening."
"Well, that's a long story!"
Shimabukuro Kimie looked helpless and glanced at Natsume.
Xia Ye waved her hand and said with a smile, "Back then, Junhui's family had some trouble, so she stopped making movies and chose to return to the island. But that's a long story, let's talk about it while we eat~"
"Good~"
Everyone sat down around the table.
Xia Ye placed the boxed lunches that Qi had helped bring on the table, and everyone ate together.
During the meal, Xia Ye told them about Jun Hui's situation.
Of course, it only says that she went home to inherit the family business, became a shrine maiden at the mermaid shrine, and incidentally pretended to be a long-lived old woman.
As for her "good friends" who murdered her mother, she hasn't mentioned that she's now planning revenge.
After all, it's fine if Yukiko, Ayako, and Yoko know, but it's best not to let Chikako Ikeda know for now.
She's not really one of us yet!
but--
Even if that's all there is to it.
After listening.
The girls were very touched.
She looked at Junhui with pity in her beautiful eyes.
It's not easy!
A young girl, dressed up as a hundred-year-old woman every day, to maintain the dugong festival and protect her hometown island—how kind of her!
Thus.
People became much friendlier towards her!
...
in the afternoon.
Xia Ye observed the filming of the movie on set.
I heard there's a kissing scene between Yukiko and Yoko!
pity--
Chikako said that the filming had already taken place.
Xia Ye did not see it with her own eyes.
I can only look at the materials on the computer.
I must say, this kissing scene was filmed beautifully. If it's included in the trailer, it'll definitely get the movie trending on social media!
And so, evening came.
Everyone went to the Mihua Hotel to treat the film crew to a meal.
Natsume ultimately failed to outdrink Chikako Ikeda, because he had already been plied with alcohol by Yukiko and Yoko beforehand.
Without cheating, his alcohol tolerance is only average.
I just can't stand Yukiko, that mischievous girl who never repeats herself when it comes to urging people to drink!
He quickly became so drunk that he passed out!
Just before losing consciousness, he seemed to hear Chikako Ikeda's gloating laughter, and his last thought became:
I'll teach this woman a lesson sooner or later!
...
Over the next two days, Xia Ye made plans.
Then, through the log quest, I obtained an item and gave it to Shimabukuro Kimie.
When Shimabukuro Kimie obtained that astonishing item, even though she had witnessed Natsume's amazing abilities, she was still incredibly shocked.
After Xia Ye explained for a long time, she finally returned to the American island with the props, still looking surprised and uncertain, to carry out the preliminary plan.
And on this day—
Osaka Suzuki Museum.
Xia Ye, along with Xiao Lan Yuanzi and Xiao Ai, are visiting the museum's collection of treasures.
That's right, it's Ai!
Shiho is already able to recover her health.
Why is she still appearing as Ai Haibara?
Of course, it's because Xia Ye is a lolicon, pshaw!
This is a reward that Xia Ye gave Xiao Ai when she was in a good mood after taking her out to play!
Moreover, this is also related to future plans.
"Xia Ye, Xiao Lan!"
"Sonoko, Ai!"
A sweet, girlish voice came from behind.
Wearing an adorable pink dress, Kazuha waved and ran over, greeting Natsume and the others with a smile on her pretty face.
Meanwhile, Heiji Hattori had grown accustomed to his closeness with Natsume Hagen and Ran.
He didn't come over; instead, he joined Kogoro Mouri and Conan on the other side.
That's right!
The Grim Reaper trio has reunited!
I wonder if Kaito Kuroba can withstand it?
This time, as usual, he sent a notice to the Suzuki Foundation, saying that he wanted to steal the "Egg of Memories".
Tomoko Suzuki ignored him.
Summer leaves are here.
It would be a miracle if he could steal it!
only--
The Suzuki Group doesn't care.
This does not mean that the Metropolitan Police Department is not taking it seriously.
The Second Investigation Division is going crazy trying to catch Phantom Thief Kid.
Their tea plantation manager even held a mobilization meeting and brought in outside help—
This is why Kogoro Mouri and Conan still came here even though the Suzuki Foundation didn't invite him!
Xia Ye even attended their meeting to observe.
how to say--
All I can say is that their enthusiasm is commendable.
The officers in Section 2 would scream at the mere mention of Kaito Kid's name.
He's just like their Officer Nakamori—a real scoundrel.
however--
All they have left is enthusiasm.
They can't even decipher the coded message left by Phantom Thief Kid, how can they expect to catch Phantom Thief Kid?
It's best not to have dreams like that!
"You guys!"
Kazuha rolled her eyes at her sisters and huffed, "You only told me when we got to Osaka, otherwise I could have come pick you up!"
"Isn't this a surprise for you?"
After Natsume finished speaking with a smile, Ran, Ai, and Sonoko giggled and chimed in. Everyone loved teasing Kazuha, their shy "little sister."
"Yes, this is a surprise!"
"It wouldn't have been so fun if I'd told you sooner!"
"Pooh!"
He Ye lightly spat, looking at them with her beautiful eyes speechless:
"You're just trying to bully me!"
"No way~"
Xiaolan stepped forward, took He Ye's hand, and whispered:
We like you so much!
"Especially someone!"
"Do you think so?"
"Yes, yes!"
Ai and Sonoko became a mischievous repeating machine.
"Humph!"
Xia Ye, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, scolded:
"They're bullying me, and you're not even helping me!"
"I wouldn't dare!"
Xia Ye waved her hand, feigning fear, "If I help you, they'll bully me too!"
"Pooh!"
Ai rolled her eyes cutely and pulled Kazuha's other hand: "Kazuha, don't mind him. We're comrades, we'll team up to bully him from now on!"
"it is good!"
Kazuha's beautiful eyes flickered.
Her pretty face lit up with pride.
Looking at Xia Ye, she seemed to be thinking about how to bully him!
"We should head to the president's office now."
