Every time something like this happened.
They would occasionally meet people who passed by them, or they would see a house that was hidden in a corner.
This was probably due to their good luck, right?
But this time, they saw nothing.
Fortunately, their car had just been filled with gas.
Just as Mōri Kogoro was about to leave the main road in order to get closer to the main road.
The first thing Conan did was to check the fuel gauge. This allowed them to relax for the time being. They could take a longer detour.
The weather today was terrible.
It looked like it would rain heavily soon.
This made it even more difficult for them to determine their direction.
Mōri Kogoro snatched the map from Conan's hands.
He swore that he would definitely be able to bring everyone back.
Conan looked at him suspiciously.
In the end, Mōri Kogoro still did not return to the main road.
However, he managed to bypass this empty place.
When their car had run out of gas, they finally saw a house.
It was a very small inn.
Whether it was Mauliland or Enoko Suzuki, they were all very happy.
As long as there were people, they would know how to leave this place.
Mōri Kogoro revealed a complacent expression.
Just as they entered the inn, it began to rain heavily.
The timing was extremely coincidental.
They decided to rest here for the night.
The owner of the inn was an old woman.
Her appearance startled them.
The old lady didn't look like a real person.
Instead, it was an extremely terrifying monster.
Furthermore, they were currently in a special position.
This forced them to think in this direction.
It took Mauliland a lot of courage to talk to the old lady.
They had this feeling of fear.
The old lady seemed to be used to it.
There was no smile on her face, and she looked ferocious.
She said that if they wanted to stay here, they only had two spare rooms.
"Are there any other guests?" Conan was probably the only one who didn't feel scared.
He raised his innocent face and asked the old lady.
For some reason, the old lady lowered her head and looked at Conan in surprise.
Conan smiled happily at her. The old lady sighed.
She said that no one had treated her like this for a long time.
She was born ugly.
This sentence immediately made Mauliland feel embarrassed.
She quickly comforted the old lady.
Just like that, Mauliland felt apologetic. She felt that her fear had hurt the old lady.
The old lady told her not to take it to heart.
She built the inn in this deserted place. It was normal for a girl to be scared.
This was indeed a strange thing.
Little Conan asked the old lady why she opened it here.
The old lady said that this was the only place where not many people could see her.
And no matter where they were, guests who got lost could come here.
"Aren't you guys the same?" The old lady said.
Mao Lilan, on the other hand, was embarrassed to admit that they were indeed lost.
And they also wanted to ask the old lady how they could get back to the main road.
This made the old lady pause for a moment.
She really didn't know!
And the old lady's answer disappointed them.
The old lady hadn't left this place for many years.
She didn't know what had changed in the outside world.
Most of the customers who came to her place were people who were lost.
The two girls were a little disappointed.
The old lady suddenly remembered something and said that she might know how to leave the guest today.
She said that the girl seemed to have come here on purpose for some reason.
She lived in the innermost room.
Mauliland expressed her gratitude to the old lady.
Conan Conan felt strange.
There was no place nearby where people lived, and there were no tourist attractions.
Why would a girl come here alone?
He was very anxious to see that person.
When the old lady was about to take them there, the door to the guest rooms was suddenly pushed open.
Then, a blonde girl appeared in front of them.
It was Satsuki Itō.
She had a smile on her face, as if she wasn't surprised to see them.
"Miss Ito." The first one to speak was Mauliland.
But the first one to ask was Conan Itō.
He showed his half-moon eyes as if to say, 'Why are you here?'
They suddenly had the feeling that they would meet Satsuki Itō no matter where they went.
[You didn't just realize, did you?]
Satsuki Itō gave a certain primary school detective such a look.
And the primary school detective could only give her a serious expression.
And this successfully made the blonde girl's mouth twitch.
Hey, hey.
She had already said it several times.
Satsuki Itō silently complained.
Conan Itō didn't think it was the same thing.
He was more concerned about why Satsuki Itō was here.
Satsuki Itō just shrugged indifferently.
She was here to work!
Satsuki Itō told Conan Itō that a guest staying in this small hotel sent her a letter of entrustment.
But it seemed that she came for nothing!
She looked around, but those things didn't exist at all.
The old lady quickly understood.
It turned out that these new guests knew the guest who came this afternoon.
So her expression didn't change at all, and she consciously left the place. She probably didn't want to eavesdrop on their conversation.
This small hotel was very small.
Even though the old lady just said that this place was full.
But other than Satsuki Itō, there were only four people here.
They were all very good friends. They came here about two months ago and haven't left since.
The reason they told the old lady was that they couldn't find a way out.
This place felt good.
So they planned to stay here for a long time.
However, Satsuki Itō didn't think so.
She said that she didn't think that she could send a letter of entrustment here.
Conan couldn't help but agree with Ito Shuyuki's idea.
However, this seemed to have nothing to do with them.
They probably just didn't want to talk about it.
Just like that, Conan asked Satsuki Itō if she still remembered how to leave this place.
There seemed to be no doubt about it, right?
Satsuki Itō had an aura that no one could doubt.
She said that she would take them back to the Maori Detective Agency.
And this sentence wasn't just for Conan to hear.
Mao Lilan and the others were also included.
Mauliland and Enoko Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief.
Enoko Suzuki said directly. "It's great to meet you here." Mauliland also glanced at the confused detective and nodded very seriously.
The person who was despised shrunk his head and then showed a look of unwillingness.
He wanted to act as if nothing had happened.
But what he said was that children knew what to do.
Even if there was no Itō, he could still take them back.
It was rare for Conan to help Detective Mori out of a predicament.
He said that it was all thanks to his uncle.
It was because of his efforts that they were able to find this place.
This made Mōri Kogoro feel a burst of pride.
He even wanted to praise Conan.
Although it was by chance that they came here.
When Conan added this sentence, Mōri Kogoro immediately changed his mind.
This brat … His fist was about to land on Conan's head.
But Conan dodged it one step ahead.
Mōri Kogoro's fist missed.
His own feet were a little unstable for a moment.
Mōri Kogoro picked up Conan and told her father not to bully Conan anymore.
What her father needed now was to reflect.
He didn't want to take shortcuts every time.
Alright!
Mōri Kogoro did reflect on himself.
He had reflected on himself many times.
But every time, he would reflect on himself after they got lost, and every time, he couldn't help but take shortcuts.
Mauliland finally said that she would look after her father next time.
Huff huff!
At this moment, Mōri Kogoro finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ito Shuizuki stood aside and watched the father and daughter exchange their feelings in such a way that was close to being awkward.
The corners of her mouth inadvertently curled up a little.
This was a very beautiful scene.
Satsuki Itō had never experienced such a thing.
Her 'parents' were arranged by her grandfather.
They cared about her.
But it was more because of the mission.
And her and her grandfather … she knew that her grandfather cared about her.
It was just that they rarely saw each other.
Even if they did see each other.
Their way of getting along was also different from theirs.
In comparison, they were more mature.
Perhaps this was also a result of their personalities.
Her grandfather wasn't good at communicating.
And she … probably wasn't very good at it either!
Why did she suddenly think of this?
Satsuki Itō lowered her head to hide her smile.
It wasn't the first time she had seen the father and daughter, as well as Conan's family, interact with each other.
Shouldn't she already be used to it by now?
But the atmosphere this time was too good, right?
