The candlelight flickered in the room. Maori Kogoro stared at Chiga Ling's snow-white hands, his Adam's apple rolling: "Really! So beautiful."
The maiko lowered her eyes and smiled softly, "Yes, it's beautiful."
Maori Kogoro further teased, "It's just like solidified fat. I really want to eat it."
"Are you hurt?" Mao Li leaned forward to touch her, but Lan suddenly grabbed him by the collar: "Don't go too far! Lecherous old man!"
Conan suddenly poked Heiji's arm and said, "Hey, look over there, what is Inspector Ayanokouji doing there?"
Before she finished speaking, the lady boss of Sakura House lifted the curtain and leaned forward: "You can go to the terrace to enjoy the night cherry blossoms. When the clouds disperse, there will be a beautiful moon."
Sonoko immediately dragged Kazuha towards the stairs, the sound of wooden clogs echoing in the corridor. However, Heiji leaned against the pillar with his arms folded: "I'll stay here."
Conan responded in kind, "Me too."
"Why?" Ran turned her head in confusion, the lily of the valley hairpin swaying in her hair. Sonoko winked, "Are you concerned about that maiko?" Heiji's ears turned red, and he grabbed the sake flask and took a gulp, "Idiot! What nonsense are you talking about!"
After a while, Maori suddenly pounded the table and laughed: "I lost!" Nishijo Taiga got up drunkenly: "I'm going to the bathroom. I'm not drunk yet. Chiga Ling, you stay with Mr. Maori." When the maiko responded, Conan suddenly pointed out the window: "Okay, it's started-the moon is out!"
Lan looked at the silver disk in the sky, and her voice suddenly became softer: "The moon..."
"I remembered the appointment I made with Xiaolan." Conan looked at the crack in the clouds. "I was two hours late that time and thought she must have left, but I still ran to the park." The cherry blossoms in his memory fluttered and fell on the girl's waiting figure.
"That's too exaggerated!" Heiji sneered, but then he remembered the photo he had hidden in his phone - the back of Kazuha standing on tiptoe to buy candy apples at the Kyoto Festival.
"That was probably the time," Conan stroked the frame of his glasses, "when I realized she was more than just my childhood sweetheart."
"Idiot! That's not true!" Heiji kicked over the footstool, startling the wind chimes on the eaves. "I've long realized that she's more than just a childhood sweetheart. She must still be waiting for me!" Before he finished speaking, Kazuha poked her head out holding a newly bought round fan. "What's wrong, Xiaolan?"
Ran hurriedly lowered her head to adjust her kimono belt: "Nothing, this guy Heiji is really annoying." She turned her head and looked at Kazuha, "But Kazuha, I envy you so much, because you can see me whenever you want."
Yuanzi suddenly leaned on the railing and sighed: "Yeah, I haven't been able to see Ah Zhen either." The night wind blew up the strands of hair on her temples, and Qian Heling's faint laughter came from afar.
Conan looked at the moon looming between the clouds, and suddenly felt that some waiting did not need to be expressed out loud, just like the moonlight at this moment, which would always penetrate the fog and fall where it should shine.
The long night always passes quickly, and when the time agreed by Mr. Sakura Shozo arrived, the proprietress of Sakuraya got up and went to call him.
The proprietress of Sakura House knocked on the door: "Mr. Sakura, it's already nine o'clock! Mr. Sakura? Excuse me..." But there was no response. "Where have you been? That's weird! Mr. Sakura!"
At this time, a scream was heard, waking up Maori Kogoro: "What happened? The scream just now!"
Before he could finish his words, he rushed to the door and saw the proprietress staggering to the ground, with her kimono belt half loose: "Someone come! Mr. Sakura... Mr. Sakura... Mr. Sakura!"
