"Ah, then I have to prepare well."
After hearing Karasawa's words, Ayako clapped her hands and said happily: "Let's go to the supermarket before going home today. Then I will cook with my own hands to thank them."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "We will set off after dinner."
"It'll be ready soon, just a moment."
Ochazuke rice is not a particularly troublesome dish, and Ayako quickly put it on the table.
As if she was afraid that Karasawa wouldn't have enough to eat, she grilled a few more pieces of fish to go with it.
Fish and Ochazuke go well together unexpectedly, and Karasawa rarely feels satisfied after eating them.
Ayako, who had finished cooking and had nothing to do, sat opposite her, holding her chin with her right hand and looking at Karasawa quietly with a smile on her lips.
This scene was unexpectedly harmonious, and Tang Ze didn't even try to break the moment of silence.
Because this is not silence, but tranquility. There is no discomfort, just a silent understanding between the two parties.
"I'll go clean it up."
After watching Karasawa finish breakfast, Ayako put away the dishes and walked into the kitchen. Karasawa walked over and put his chin around the slender waist from behind, placing his chin on Ayako's shoulder.
"Oh, what are you doing?"
Ayako moved but failed to break free and said angrily: "I'm still washing the dishes."
"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to hug you." Tang Ze replied.
"It feels so unexpected." Ayako joked, "Why are you so sentimental all of a sudden?"
"I'm not sentimental at all." Tang Ze smiled when he heard this and said in a relaxed tone: "I just suddenly thought about getting married or something."
"Get...married?"
After hearing Karasawa's words, Ayako was suddenly confused. She never expected that the other party would suddenly say this.
"What's wrong? You're not unwilling, are you?" Seeing Ayako's sudden stunned reaction, Karasawa became a little nervous.
"That's not true, it's just too sudden!"
Ayako quickly came to her senses after hearing Karasawa's words, waved her hands and said: "I was completely unprepared, I was completely confused.
It’s just too... too sudden.”
Ayako paused for a moment after saying this, and then whispered a little coyly: "But... I'm still very happy."
"Really? But I just naturally had such an idea." Karasawa held Ayako's Rouyi and smiled: "So, what's your answer?"
"Then it depends on your performance."
Ayako turned around and hugged Karasawa's neck, with an unstoppable smile on her face: "How can anyone just say they want to get married so casually? There has to be a process."
"This time we will notify you in advance." Tang Ze said with a smile, "Let you be mentally prepared first."
"If you're not satisfied, don't blame me for making things difficult for you." Ayako snorted, pretending to be unruly.
"Then I need some snacks." Tang Ze smiled and said, "Then let's get ready to go out now, right?"
"Wait a minute, the dishes haven't been finished yet." Ayako quickly turned around and rinsed the half-washed dishes, then ran to the bedroom to change clothes.
The season has entered spring, and the weather has become a lot warmer. Ayako wore a white turtleneck sweater with a gray-toned haze blue windbreaker.
Although the combination is simple, it makes people feel a special temperament. In the overall combination of maturity and dignity, and because of the bright colors, there is a hint of elegance and joy, making the overall look less serious.
When the two drove out, their first stop was Ginza.
As the main commercial street in Chuo District, Tokyo, it is known as "the most expensive place in Asia". It is home to famous brand products from all over the world. It can be said to be a shopper's paradise.
After what happened in the morning, Karasawa could clearly feel the difference in Ayako's mood. The smile that never faded at the corner of her mouth was the best proof.
Karasawa went shopping with Ayako and tried on the clothes that the other party chose for him. He didn't feel impatient at all and actually enjoyed it.
Looking back, it seems that the two of them haven't had such a leisurely date for a long time.
When they first started dating, they often went out on shopping dates without any destination, but as they gradually became busy, their plans were always planned.
Although going out for fun is also fun, the feeling of being aimless just for two people to be together is also nostalgic.
We found a Western restaurant for lunch at noon, and then the two of them went to the cinema to kill the unoccupied noon time from 1 to 3 o'clock.
In the afternoon, the two went bowling again, and then went to the supermarket to buy ingredients to go home.
"Spring is here."
When Karasawa was stuffing large and small bags into the trunk, Ayako suddenly came over and pinched the beautiful Luo Ying from nowhere on Karasawa's head.
"The cherry blossoms bloomed very early this year." Looking at the cherry blossom petals in Ayako's hand, Karasawa gently blew them off: "It's a warm spring."
"Yes, the cherry blossoms are definitely in full bloom this year."
Ayako looked at the petals that were blown by the breeze and flew to the sky again during the fall, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly:
"Spring is here."
……….
"Wow, it's so beautiful!"
"This cherry blossom field is so beautiful!!"
Seeing the pink cherry blossoms all over the sky falling like a rain of flowers under the gentle breeze, the distant mountains and leaves couldn't help but admire them.
"That's right, and there is also a Sakura Festival event, which is really lively."
Xiaolan also echoed with a smile on her face: "This place recommended by Sister Ayako is really great. I really came to the right place."
"As long as you like it." Ayako smiled and said, "It's not in vain that Tang Ze and I spent all the effort to choose a place."
"It's so troublesome for you, Sister Ayako." Heye Wenyan hugged Ayako and said happily: "I have spent so much time preparing for us."
"It's okay. When we were in Kansai, didn't you also warmly entertain us?"
Ayako waved her hands and said with a smile: "I think you must have been to Tokyo many times, and you must have been to all the more famous attractions.
Just two days ago, we discovered that spring came early this year and the cherry blossoms seemed to be in bloom.
So at Karasawa's suggestion, we first looked for a place to enjoy the flowers, and then learned that there was a festival here during the short holiday.
Because the cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully here, it’s really suitable for flower viewing.”
"Yes, the cherry blossoms are blooming so prosperously this year. It is a well-deserved Pink Sakura Festival." Karasawa looked at the pink sky that was completely occupied by cherry blossoms and couldn't help but admired.
The scenery of this sea of flowers is indeed worthy of admiration, and the various stalls under the cherry blossom trees add some fireworks to the sea of flowers.
"But there are two guys over there who are a nuisance to the scenery."
On the side and Ye looked at the two people standing in front of the meatball stall buying meatballs to eat, with a speechless expression on their faces: "It's really quite a sight. Heiji was the one who said he wanted to enjoy the flowers first, but when he got here, all he could see was glutinous rice.
The meatballs have no flowers."
"Ignore them, you are the protagonists today."
Karasawa smiled and helped smooth things over for Heiji and the two tough men who were unattractive: "Ayako, let's go visit the stalls together. I feel like there are a lot of places worth visiting."
"Ah, this windmill is so cute."
Ayako on the side saw the stall selling windmills next to her and diverted Kazuha's attention with a smile: "Kazuha-chan, come over and take a look!"
"Really!" Xiaolan on the side turned to look, and her attention was immediately attracted by the windmill: "How much does this cost, boss?"
"200 yen."
"Then I want one too!"
Seeing the cute windmill, Heye also forgot about "criticizing" Heiji's inconsistent behavior, and he and Xiaolan bought the windmill and started playing with it.
On the other hand, although Ayako praised the windmill a lot when she saw it, when it came time to buy it, she was not as neat as the two underage girls.
After all, I am an adult, and I still have some adult reserve.
On the other side, watching the three girls choose windmills, Tang Ze walked to the glutinous rice ball stall and urged: "Have you two finished buying? They are all ready to leave."
"I'm coming."
The two of them hurried over eating skewers of meatballs.
"I'm telling you, even if it's just an excuse to meet, don't act so inconsistent, okay?"
Karasawa looked at the two of them angrily and said, "I used the excuse of coming to Tokyo to enjoy the flowers as an excuse to meet, but when we met, we were completely uninterested in the flower viewing. Doesn't this just make them more suspicious?"
"I know!" Heiji bit into the meatball and said, "Isn't this just to find a chance to talk alone?
Tell me, why did you call me specifically to come to Tokyo?
I specially sacrificed this short vacation to come to you."
"Explain it to him. I'll follow Ayako and the others to prevent them from interrupting your conversation."
Not bothering to listen to Conan explain the reason again, Tangze explained to the two of them and walked forward.
In this moment, Heye and Xiaolan had already chosen their favorite windmill.
"Sister Ayako, don't you buy one?" Xiaolan shook the windmill in her hand and smiled: "Look, how cute it is."
"I'll forget it..."
Ayako just shook her head, but Tang Ze suddenly said: "Boss, give me one."
"Eh?"
Just when Ayako was surprised, Karasawa had already taken out the coins from his wallet and handed them to the boss, and then handed a sky blue windmill to Ayako: "Here, take it."
"Really..." Ayako said angrily: "How old am I..."
"There is no age limit for what you want." Tang Ze smiled and said, "Since you want it, I will sell it to you.
Okay, just take it first and I'll go to the stall in front to buy some snacks like octopus balls. Since we're going to a festival and there are no snacks, I feel like I'm missing something."
Without waiting for Ayako to say anything else, she put the windmill into her hands and trotted towards the stall in front of her.
"Wow... that's really sweet." Kazuo who was standing by the side teased with a smile after Tang Ze left.
"Yes, Tang Ze is really attentive." Xiaolan nodded sympathetically: "It's details like this that make you look so gentle."
"You two, stop talking..." Ayako's face turned red with embarrassment when the two said it, and she quickly tried to cover their mouths, but the two of them ducked away with smiles.
"What is there to be so shy about, Sister Ayako?" Xiaolan said with a smile, "It's too late for us to envy you."
"Yeah, some big idiots are just stupid people who don't understand the style."
Kazuha who was on the side nodded in agreement, and immediately looked at Hattori Heiji who was beside him and was furious: "It's far from being as careful as Karasawa Criminal.
That idiot was just eating glutinous rice balls and didn’t even know to ask us if we wanted to eat them!”
"If it were Shinichi, he probably wouldn't be able to be so careful."
Xiaolan echoed the complaint: "Obviously I am always so sharp when it comes to cases, but when it comes to these places I am completely incompetent."
"Yeah yeah!"
He nodded with the same feeling as Ye Shen and said: "You are obviously so good at ordinary times and observe so meticulously, why can't you learn from Tang Ze Criminal and use some of your observations in places other than investigating cases?"
After saying this, the two girls complained in tacit understanding, and Ayako couldn't help but smile.
While the three girls were enjoying themselves, Tang Ze on the side was grabbed by a young monk in excitement: "Tang Ze Criminal, you are Tang Ze Criminal!"
"Is that you? I remember your name is Chuanjiu, right?"
Looking at the young monk in front of him, Tang Ze was a little surprised: "What happened to your mother after that?"
"Thanks to the timely discovery of Tang Ze Criminal, my mother was able to save her life."
The young monk named Chuanjiu said excitedly: "It was only after this that I learned the whole story from the host. I thought I wouldn't have the chance to thank you, but I didn't expect to meet you here.
I think all this is the arrangement of the Buddha. Please come to the temple to have a cup of tea and let me chat with the host to express my gratitude."
"what? What?"
Xiaolan and the other two who followed were a little confused after hearing what the young monk said. They both looked at Tangze and asked for an explanation.
"It should be about what happened when we were choosing a place to view the flowers." Ayako on the side saw the young monk Chuan Jiu and understood, and explained with a smile.
"Did something happen at that time?" Hattori Heiji, who followed closely behind, couldn't help but curious after hearing Ayako's words.
"Well, that's about right. We'll explain the details after we go up the mountain."
After Tang Ze finished speaking, he looked at the young monk and said, "Since you have treated me so warmly, young master Chuanjiu, we won't be polite."
"This is my honor." Chuanjiu Wenyan smiled and led the way.
In the middle of the journey, Ayako also told a few people who didn't know the whole story about the incident that happened at the temple bell a few days ago.
When they were in the hot spring that day, when Conan said that he would ask Hattori Heiji to investigate Hondo Eiyu, Karasawa actually already knew what case was going to happen next.
This was also the reason why he said that he would also entertain Hattori Heiji and the others together with them.
If we were to say which case among the cases that our court Eiyu participated in and promoted was the most impressive, then this might be the only case that Karasawa could not forget.
Because this is a character that countless people feel sorry for. He only appeared in two short episodes, but it has been engraved in the hearts of countless fans.
But many people actually ignore that there was actually another case before this case.
Tangze happened to remember it, so he recalled the plot of the case and took the lead in taking action.
