Pulled Out from Between His Legs?

"Gurgle..."

Toyama Kazuha couldn't help but swallow hard, her heart pounding. "Even so, as long as we all stay together and wait for the rescue ship, those bandits can't do anything to us, right?"

"That's right."

Ran nodded in agreement, saying, "If they find out we haven't gone back by dark, the TV station staff will probably think something's wrong and send someone to look for us!"

"Well, the TV station might not even notice we're missing..."

At this moment, the director, Takefumi, suddenly interjected, embarrassed, "Actually, the original plan was for us to come to this island to scout the location yesterday... but due to a mistake in the preparation work, we wasted some time, so I brought everyone here today without telling the producer."

"Hello!"

Yoshitsugu Kume surprise. "You don't mean that nobody knows we're on this island?!"

"Uh... that's right."

Takefumi nodded in agreement, "Because I told them that the survey plan was completed yesterday, so..."

"You didn't do this on purpose, did you?!"

Shinro Ikema grabbed Taketomi by the collar. "For the sake of ratings and all that, we discussed it with everyone and put on this show!"

"How is this possible!"

Takefumi was on the verge of tears. "If that's really the case, I should leave this island too, especially since there are no cameras here..."

"Alright."

Fujino stepped forward to separate the two and smoothed things over, saying, "This is something none of us wanted to see happen, and we still don't know who took the boat. Let's save our energy."

"Cut..."

After being pulled away, Shinro Ikema clutched his wrist, glanced at Taketomi with resentment, and then said nothing more.

"Alright, Ran's father is still on the island. As soon as he realizes we're missing, he'll definitely come looking for us."

Kazuha, on the other hand, was quite optimistic. She forced a smile and pointed to the villa behind her, "I think we should go inside that house for a while before Mr. Mori comes looking for us. The sea breeze outside is quite cold..."

"That's right, it doesn't matter if the staff don't know we're here!"

Ran suddenly spoke up, "If we don't get back all night, my dad will definitely come looking for us!"

She paused, then said hesitantly, "Probably... as long as he hasn't been drinking."

Conan: "..."

Hattori: "..."

The two exchanged a glance, a hint of helplessness flashing in their eyes.

If that's the case...

Hope is completely gone.

Relying on Uncle Mori to be reliable is less desirable than praying that a plane happens to crash on this island.

Fujino also paused for a moment. "..."

If I think about it carefully, it seems that Mouri-niisan is indeed drinking right now.

And there were two young girls accompanying him while he drank?

Well, no wonder she's her biological daughter.

I knew my dad's temper all along.

The sky gradually darkened.

The group entered the dilapidated villa and explored it.

The villa was pretty much as Ie Taira described; the interior furniture and various items still retained the habits of the previous inhabitants.

It's just that because it's been there for so long and no one has taken care of it, the inside is just as dilapidated as the outside.

The floors, walls, and furniture were covered in dust. The roof on the second floor had several large holes, and all the windows were broken. The sea breeze blew in with a howling sound, making one feel uneasy.

After searching around, the group finally found a restaurant without windows.

"It's so dark... There seem to be candles here."

"I have a lighter."

Fujino took out a lighter from his pocket Kazuha handed him.

"Detective Fujino, may I borrow a light?"

At that moment, Kanahiko Daito took out a cigarette case from his pocket and pulled out a cigarette.

"For you."

"Thanks!"

Fujino casually handed the lighter to Kanahiko Daito.

The restaurant was illuminated by the faint light of candles, filling the entire room with warm light.

"Sigh, I never expected to encounter something like this."

Shinro Ikema glanced resentfully at Takefumi Masao: "Thanks to someone, we're now stuck on this island infested with bandits for the night."

"Ha ha..."

Takefumi Masao gave an awkward laugh, "But we can't be sure there are bandits on this island right now..."

"Then who stole the boat we came in on?"

"I don't know."

Kanahiko Daito said with a playful tone, "It's possible that it was done by Messenger of Gusou..."

"The Messenger of Gusou..."

Ran murmured, "Speaking of which, the kidnapped daughter of the Kinjo Family might be buried on this island."

"Could it be that she became an envoy from that world and sailed the ship away?"

Toyama Kazuha shuddered. "Because they are the wronged spirits of those who were killed, they have been trapped on this island. Whenever someone sails by, they steal their ship and keep them trapped on this island..."

"Hey, hey."

Hattori Heiji: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Wasn't it the same a year ago?"

Toyama Kazuha said to Hattori Heiji in a serious tone, "That person was also stranded on the island because his ship went missing, and he left behind a strange coded message."

Hattori Heiji: "..."

Your imagination is truly rich...

So when did my childhood sweetheart become so good at making up ghost stories?

"Sigh... I should have brought some Omamori."

Toyama Kazuha sighed, his mind drifting back to the Omamori he had acquired earlier out of fear of encountering a murder case while out with Ran and the others.

"Actually, even if there are Messenger of Gusou, there's no need to be afraid."

Sitting next to her, Momiji chuckled softly, "I think with Fujino- kun around, even ghosts and monsters can definitely be subdued."

"Ahem... That's too much."

Fujino blushed slightly and couldn't help but cough lightly. "The Messenger of Gusou are the domain of the supernatural. As a materialistic detective from the mortal world, I have no say in matters of the underworld..."

"But as for things to ward off evil spirits, I seem to actually have some here."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and like Doraemon, he reached down and pulled out a black, thick, and large thing.

"Wooden Sword?"

Everyone was taken aback when they saw the Wooden Sword that Fujino had pulled out.

"Look closely, this Wooden Sword is called Okamoto Peach Blossom 0.01."

Fujino showed the Wooden Sword to everyone. "The blade of this Wooden Sword is made entirely of Black Peach Wood. In China, peach blossoms have always been believed to ward off evil spirits and can suppress malevolent forces..."

Conan: "..."

So your Wooden Sword has a name...

Okamoto Peach Blossom 0.01?

What kind of weird name is that?

I never expected you to be such a naming genius.

Hattori Heiji: "..."

Although I've seen it many times, where exactly did you pull this thing out from?

Just now, it seems like he reached under the table?

Pulled out of his crotch?!

Where do you usually hide this thing?!
