Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Chapter 273 Seaside Fireworks

Karasuma Akimitsu forgot that his arm was injured while taking a bath, and obviously Conan and Haba Haku also forgot about it.

So after coming out wearing the T-shirt and beach shorts that Haku Haba brought down for him, Karasuma Akimitsu hugged his arms and cried on the sofa.

Conan reluctantly replaced the gauze on Karasuma Akimitsu's arm: "You should have thought about the consequences if you had just torn it open when washing it."

"This hurts more than I thought. I want to go home." After Conan re-bandaged his wound, Karasuma Akimitsu curled up on the sofa with his knees hugged.

Conan looked at Karasuma Akimitsu's actions with some curiosity.

Nagai Hikaru wouldn't do that, of course the reason might just be because it would be a bit indecent to wear a skirt. But looking at this, Karasuma Akimitsu is much younger than he appears to be, just a small ball on the sofa.

Oh, he is still the boss of the dark organization.

"Do you want to go back early?" Conan sat next to Karasuma Akimitsu.

"Well, and Gin damn well didn't answer my call." Karasuma Akimitsu said in a low voice.

"Where has Gin gone?" Conan asked cautiously.

"I don't know. God knows where he went." Karasuma Akimitsu said with resentment.

The door opened again, and Haibara Ai walked into the room holding a bunch of sweets, even a strawberry ice cream.

Karasuma Akimitsu's mood obviously improved. He held up the strawberry cake and said happily, "Where's Shiro? He just said he went to the restaurant, too."

"Yes, we met him. He took Ayumi and the others to walk the dog."

"Sally is awake?" Karasuma Akimitsu was surprised.

Conan was surprised: "Sally also sleeps in?"

"No." Karasuma Akimitsu put a piece of cake into his mouth with a spoon, "I just gave the two dogs sleeping pills, thinking they would sleep late."

Conan was about to ask why, but then he remembered that the dog didn't react when it heard the gunshots yesterday. He realized that Karasuma Akimitsu was afraid that the dog would bark or run out and be accidentally injured.

"Did you know from the beginning that Binga would come last night?" Conan asked.

"Well, I am the boss of the organization after all." Karasuma Akiko took a bite of the strawberry on the cake and frowned, thinking that the strawberry was not used properly, not fresh, but canned. With a subtle look of disgust, he stuffed the remaining half into Conan's mouth, "There are some things in the organization that I can't hide from you."

Conan chewed the strawberry in his mouth helplessly: "But Gin dared to hang up on you."

Karasuma Akimitsu continued to eat the remaining cake dejectedly and did not respond.

It would be difficult to explain the injury on his arm to the children, so today Karasuma Akimitsu wore another shirt of Haba Haku's on the outside. Even though it had short sleeves, it was still long enough to cover most of his arm.

But I couldn’t soak in the hot spring, so I could only make an excuse that I didn’t really want to go to a public hot spring.

It has to be said that this made both Hayao Hashiro and Conan feel subtly relieved.

The Ocean Buoy originally wanted to ask the Investigation Division to investigate the disappearance of Miss Naomi, but the next day they found that Miss Grace from France was also missing.

Yuya Kazami told the Investigation Division that the two cases had been merged into one and taken over by the public security department.

It is said that Grace is the traitor inside the ocean buoy, but the monitoring backdoor program has not been found yet, so a global investigation may be needed.

The night activity is stargazing. There are several good stargazing spots on Hachijo Island. The children also brought telescopes and other equipment to watch the stars.

Haba Shiro saw Karasuma Akimitsu sitting alone on a cliff by the sea, holding Sally in his arms, staring at the stars in the sea in a trance.

Walking over to Karasuma Akimitsu, Haba Haku sat down and asked, "Are the stars beautiful?"

"It's OK, definitely better than Tokyo."

"Tokyo has serious light pollution, and we can hardly see any stars." Haba Haku looked at Karasuma Akimitsu who was sitting next to him with his knees hugged, "You're still wearing a skirt when you sleep?"

Because weapons can be pulled out from under skirts. Karasuma Akimitsu glanced at Haba Haku and didn't want to answer him. He rested his chin on his knees and continued to look at the sea.

Looking at the shrunken Karasuma Mingguang, who looked particularly petite, Haba Haku felt an indescribable emotion in his heart: "You have taken over the organization, and a lot has changed."

"Ah."

"I don't think the action team has any fixed monthly missions anymore."

"Yeah." There are not so many assassination and extortion missions for these old men to pass the time.

"Have you ever thought about the future?"

"Do you want to trap me and use the recording as evidence for the police to collect?" The sea breeze blew Wu Wan Ming Guang's hair. The weather was very good, the stars and the moon were very bright, and Wu Wan Ming Guang's eyes could be seen under the shadow of his bangs, reflecting the deep blue of the sea.

"You know my public security background, why do you still keep me with you?"

"Watch you."

Yuba Bai smiled softly, then unconsciously became dejected: "Wouldn't it be a relief if I just died like that?"

"Do you want to die? What's wrong with living a good life?" Karasuma Akimitsu stopped looking at the sea and turned to look at Hashira Hane, his head resting on his knees, his golden hair looking exceptionally soft.

"Don't you want me to die?"

"Then you want to die?"

"I don't know." Haba Haku stopped looking at Karasuma Akimitsu and turned to look at the sea. "Do you know whose body Haba Haku is in?"

"Hanaba... isn't that Hanaba? He is the former codename member in the inventory."

"He is Scottish and a public security officer."

"...No wonder it's called the former codename." Karasuma Akimitsu watched as Haba Haku looked up at the stars in the sky.

"He came undercover with me, but his identity was exposed and he committed suicide."

"Is it okay to tell me this?"

"My identity has been exposed quite clearly to you." Yuba Bai raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "You are the boss now. It seems like a joke to you that I am an undercover in this organization, right?"

"Well, it's quite funny. I don't want you to know that you can't find out anything even if you are by my side."

"Yeah, just like you wanted to steal the all-age recognition algorithm this time. This should be the job of the intelligence team, right? I was right beside you, but I had no idea."

"Ah."

Haba Bai supported his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky: "So last night I wanted to listen to what Binga had to say, until he took out his gun, and then I remembered that I was your bodyguard."

"Ah."

“This is a terrible job.”

"Well, if it was anyone else I would have fired him." Karasuma Akimitsu nodded seriously.

"So why do you still want me to stay with you?"

"..." Karasuma Akimitsu turned his head and looked at the sea again, hugging his knees tighter. Sally thought he was cold, so she stood up obediently and leaned on his other side to help him block the sea breeze.

"You really want your brother Bai, but unfortunately I am not. I have too many complicated thoughts, and my identity is also troublesome. Every time you are in danger, I fail to protect you. You still want me to be your bodyguard. Why?"

Karasuma Mingguang did not answer, but leaned a little towards the furry Sally, feeling the fluffy warmth of Sally's body.

"do not want to answer?"

"…I don't know." Karasuma Akimitsu whispered, "I don't know."

"Don't know?" Haku Yuba looked at Karasuma Akimitsu and saw that he was hiding in Sally's shadow.

"I know you are not Brother Bai, and I also know that you are in trouble. But I want you to be with me..." Karasuma Akira turned his bald head back and looked at Hanaba Bai. His eyes were very complicated, but his expression was indescribably calm. "I want you to be with me. Even if you don't want to, I will force you to stay. Are you angry?"

"..." Hanaba Haku seemed quite surprised by Karasuma Akimitsu's attention, "Do you think you forced me to be by your side?"

"Isn't it? Your body must be repaired in the laboratory every month. If you don't stay by my side, you won't live long. I threaten you with your life, so you must stay by my side."

Haba Haku laughed out loud, raised his hands to cover his eyes and laughed for a long time, then looked at Karasuma Akimitsu who was looking at him in confusion: "Can I hug you?"

"what?"

Haba Haku approached Karasuma Akimitsu, pulled him in and hugged him, ran his hands through his hair, and chuckled, "That's great, you don't cry so easily now."

Karasuma Akimitsu still looked confused, but he still let Haba Haku hold him obediently.

"I'm not angry. I'm never afraid of death. I'm here because I just want to be with you." Haba Bai said softly, "I'm really sorry for last night. I was too late."

"I'm a little angry."

"How about I give you an apology gift? A new dress?"

"…I just like wearing skirts when I sleep."

"That nightgown?"

"Bai... you've become a bit chatty."

"Boss, you can't deduct my salary." Yuba Bai paused, then continued, "I will be by your side watching you, you can continue to be a bad boy, but don't be a big bad guy, okay?"

"Like you said before, don't let the cherry blossoms bloom?"

"Yes, cherry trees will always be infested with insects and need pruning. Although I'm not the kind of righteous person in the hot-blooded anime who can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, Xiaoguang, I will stay by your side and keep an eye on you to prevent you from becoming a pure bad guy. Until you want to kick me away." Yuba Bai said softly.

Karasuma Akimitsu hummed softly: "So are you willing to be my rum now?"

"...No, Bourbon sounds better. But if you're willing to let me take over the intelligence that Rum used to handle, that's fine too."

There was a deliberate clattering sound of footsteps coming from the side, and Conan walked over with his arms crossed: "What are you two doing hugging each other secretly?"

"The sea breeze is a little cold, let's hug each other to keep warm." Karasuma Akimitsu said confidently.

Conan exhaled through his nose, walked over and pulled Haba Bai's hands away: "Stop touching me."

Karasuma Akimitsu sneezed, and suddenly pointed at the sea and said, "Shinichi, I remember the doctor gave you a firework football in your belt. I want to see it now, can I?"

"At this time?" Conan looked at the sea and touched his head. "You have to pay for the bill for the fireworks and football." Then he walked to where Sally was standing and pressed his belt. A round ball quickly fell out of it and inflated and enlarged into a football. Then he raised his foot and turned on the power switch of his sneakers, kicking the football towards the sea.

Huge fireworks exploded, illuminating the sea and the sky. The children who were stargazing on the lawn in the distance cheered. The instantaneous brilliance of the fireworks filled Karasuma's bright blue pupils, and a bright smile finally broke out on his face.

On the other side, an ocean buoy five kilometers away from Hachijo Island was suddenly attacked by torpedoes. Two torpedoes in one round, a total of six torpedoes all exploded on the ocean buoy.

The people inside had no time to escape.

However, because the missing case has been transferred to the public security, the Investigation Section had already left the buoy. And because Grace's identity was revealed by the public security investigation, the person in charge of the Ocean Buoy, Makino Yosuke, was taken away for investigation.

When the explosion occurred, there was no commander-in-chief to arrange for the orderly evacuation of personnel, and the entire base fell into chaos when the first explosion occurred in the buoy.

Until the entire ocean buoy sank completely, less than 10% of the staff escaped.

Afterwards, Nagai Akiaki confirmed that Rum tried to escape using the sea gate after the first round of explosions, but the second round of torpedoes hit him right there, confirming his death.
