Chapter 8: Director, This Script Isn't Right~

"Yunwen-kun, have fun with your friends, and be sure to be home before ten tonight. Also, take care of yourself and don't play any overly exciting games. If you feel unwell, call an ambulance immediately, okay?"

Kojima Mie was earnestly reminding him in front of the house.

Shu Yunwen readily agreed, and after walking a distance, he let out a sigh of relief.

His aunt was indeed very good to him, but she was too strict, and he could barely handle it! Shu Yunwen was already contemplating moving back to his own home after some time. Speaking of which, since his house had been empty for a long time, he needed to find a cleaning company to help tidy it up…

He patted his pocket and found the check Yamazaki Akiji had given him yesterday. He let out a whistle and headed towards a nearby bank.

In the taxi heading to Tropical Land.

Shu Yunwen held the newly purchased compact camcorder in his hand, feeling a little depressed.

Yesterday, Yamazaki Akiji, that sucker, had handed over fifty thousand US dollars. Shu Yunwen had thought he could live a leisurely life for a while. He hadn't expected that just buying the best compact camcorder would cost more than half of it.

Japanese yen, no matter how many tens of thousands you hear, it's really not enough when you use it!

Well, if it weren't for the need to film the bizarre scene of Kudo Shinichi shrinking from an adult to a child, he probably wouldn't have needed this thing.

The car stopped in front of Tropical Land. Shu Yunwen paid the fare and scanned the entrance of Tropical Land back and forth. He spotted Tsukamoto Kazumi, wearing a light green knee-length skirt, waiting there.

Seeing Shu Yunwen approach, Tsukamoto Kazumi immediately walked over and gently waved hello, "Yunwen-san, you're here."

"Ah… I'm sorry, Kazumi-san, I seem to be late…" Shu Yunwen's gaze lingered on Tsukamoto Kazumi for a moment before he apologized.

Tsukamoto Kazumi looked so beautiful in that outfit. Shu Yunwen couldn't believe he actually had a chance to go on a date with such a beauty.

Tsukamoto Kazumi shook her head, "No, no, it's me who came early. My house is nearby, and I wanted to look around the area…"

They chatted as they paid for their tickets and entered Tropical Land.

After strolling around for a bit, Tsukamoto Kazumi's gaze fell on an ice cream stall, and she seemed to really want some.

Shu Yunwen paused for a moment and immediately took out his wallet, "Hello, please give us two ice creams."

Tsukamoto Kazumi immediately waved her hand, "No, you don't have to spend money like this. I invited you…"

Shu Yunwen smiled, "Kazumi, you don't need to be so polite!"

The woman at the ice cream stall, wearing a theme park uniform, looked young and was likely a part-time worker. She took the money and handed the change and ice creams to Shu Yunwen, "Thank you for your business. Also, your daughter is very beautiful…"

"Pfft…" Tsukamoto Kazumi chuckled beside him.

"Uh…"

Shu Yunwen felt like he had turned to stone. A little devil appeared in his mind, grabbing the ice cream vendor by one hand and slapping her face repeatedly—Who said I was her father? Try saying that again! Try saying that again!

Of course, Shu Yunwen only thought about such violent things; he would never actually do them.

Well, I won't stoop to your level!

After putting away the change, Shu Yunwen handed one of the ice creams to Tsukamoto Kazumi, "Kazumi-san, here's yours."

"Thank you, Yunwen-san," Tsukamoto Kazumi thanked him, took the ice cream, and began to lick it slowly.

Her actions were quite alluring.

After licking it for a few bites, Tsukamoto Kazumi noticed Shu Yunwen staring at her and shyly lowered her head, "Yunwen-san…"

"Ah…" Shu Yunwen snapped back to reality and quickly apologized, "Kazumi-san, I'm truly sorry, how rude of me…"

As soon as Shu Yunwen finished speaking, before Tsukamoto Kazumi could reply, a child's voice came from not far away, "Yun, Yunwen-gege, why, why are you here?"

Shu Yunwen turned his head and saw three little brats looking at him.

One was a chubby kid with a surprised expression, and the other two were a cute, curious boy and girl. The boy had freckles on his cheeks, and the girl was dressed adorably.

"Genta? You? Did you sneak out to play?" Shu Yunwen was surprised, and then he suddenly remembered that in the case at Tropical Land, Genta had also played a minor role.

The little chubby kid immediately looked panicked, "I, I've been found out! Yunwen-gege, please don't tell Mom."

The little chubby kid in front of him was Genta. Beside him were, of course, Yoshida Ayumi and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko.

Mitsuhiko looked at Genta's expression and helplessly quipped, "Genta, the way you're acting, this uncle is more likely to tell your Mom~."

Ayumi looked at Tsukamoto Kazumi, "Wh-what a beautiful big sister. Is big sister here to play with this uncle?"

Tsukamoto Kazumi chuckled again beside him.

Shu Yunwen's mouth twitched a couple of times, and a "well" shape appeared on his forehead.

Damn it! Don't call me uncle!

He forced out a kind smile and said, "Two children, you don't have to call me 'uncle.' I'm actually not that old. I'm Genta's older cousin, please take care of me."

"Ah? Genta's, Genta's older cousin? Can an older cousin be so much older than Genta?" Ayumi covered her mouth with her hand, disbelieving.

Mitsuhiko rested his chin on his hand, looking very wise, "I think it must be because of the large age gap between their parents' generation. Yes, yes, so even though he's fifty years old, he's Genta's older cousin…"

F-fifty years old?

Shu Yunwen felt like he was about to turn dark, but looking at these few little kids…

Forget it! Children speak their minds; I won't hold it against you.

"Heh heh..." Shu Yunwen smiled slightly. "If you call me 'brother' from now on and not 'uncle,' I can treat you to ice cream!"

"R-really? We're meeting for the first time," Genta said, his face full of joy. He then turned to the female ice cream vendor. "One strawberry, please!"

Hey, hey, hey! You're not being polite at all, even though it's your first time meeting him!

"I want apple flavor!" Yoshida Ayumi asked for her ice cream first, then said to Shu Yunwen, "Thank you for the treat, brother."

"I-I want one too, banana flavor," Genta added.

The amusement park worker smiled and handed the three ice creams to the children. Shu Yunwen took out his wallet to pay when a smug voice suddenly came from the side. "Is Mr. Shu here at the amusement park today too? Treating children to ice cream..."

Shu Yunwen turned his head and saw Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran waving from not too far away.

What a coincidence to run into them here? The roller coaster is still some distance away!

Shu Yunwen thought to himself, but politely said, "Oh, it's classmate Kudo and classmate Mori. Would you like one too?"

"That would be too much trouble for you!" Kudo Shinichi said, scratching the back of his head with an embarrassed look.

Shu Yunwen felt like spitting blood—

Damn it, doesn't this guy know what politeness means!

After everyone had their ice cream, Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran finally noticed Tsukamoto Kazumi and quickly greeted her, "Senior Tsukamoto, we're truly sorry. We didn't see you just now; that was very rude of us."

Tsukamoto Kazumi smiled. "Hello, classmate Kudo and classmate Mori. Are you two on a date?"

"Ah~~ Not really~" Mori Ran's face immediately started steaming.

Tsukamoto Kazumi said, "I can't believe we'd meet here. Since we're both here, why don't we hang out together!"

"Hang out together? W-would that be too much trouble?" Ran and Shinichi looked at Shu Yunwen, then at Tsukamoto Kazumi.

These two must be on a date together too, right?

And Senior Tsukamoto seems to have changed so much. Tsukamoto Kazumi has always been cold and distant, everyone knows that. How is it that she's like this when she's with Shu Yunwen?

Tsukamoto Kazumi smiled. "Of course not. It just so happens that Yunwen-san also met his younger brother and his brother's classmates. It'll be more lively if we all play together..."

"Then we'll be imposing on you," Ran agreed.

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes and turned to Genta and the others. "Genta, you and your friends stick close to me later, okay?"

"Got it, Brother Yunwen," Genta replied.

Ayumi quickly bowed. "Thank you, big brother. My name is Yoshida Ayumi. Please take care of me!"

Mitsuhiko also bowed. "My name is Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko. Please take care of me."

Then, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko looked at Kudo Shinichi with admiration. "Big brother, are you perhaps the legendary high school detective, Kudo Shinichi?"

"Huh? That's right, it's me!" Kudo Shinichi was taken aback for a moment, then replied.

"Wow, that's amazing!" the three little ones exclaimed.

Shu Yunwen was annoyed and rolled his eyes. "Let's go!"

The group walked a distance together and played a few games before reaching the roller coaster. After buying tickets and queuing, the three children started clamoring to ride.

"Hitomi, look how affectionate Mr. Kishida and Aiko are!"

Someone nearby whispered. Shu Yunwen turned and saw four people standing together: one man and three women. One couple seemed very close and intimate. Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized—

These four must be the main characters of the roller coaster case!

Hmm, it seems the one who gets killed is that man.

If these four are here, that means...

Shu Yunwen turned his head and scanned the surroundings. He saw two men in black, one burly and one tall and thin.

Gin! Vodka!

These two really came after all.

Beside Shu Yunwen, Kudo Shinichi followed Shu Yunwen's gaze and also saw Gin and Vodka, his brow furrowed deeply.

Amidst the broadcast, the staff directed the queued people onto the ride. Those four people, Gin, Vodka, Shinichi, and Ran, moved towards the roller coaster. Kudo Shinichi's gaze kept returning to Gin and Vodka, lost in thought. Genta and the others, however, were excited and went up to Hitomi, Aiko, and the others. "Pretty ladies, can we go first?"

"This..." Aiko hesitated for a moment, then smiled. "Of course! Mr. Kishida, shall we let the children go first?"

"Ha! No problem," Mr. Kishida readily agreed.

Hitomi was taken aback and immediately said, "Then I'll give my spot to the children too."

Next to Hitomi, the person named Reiko also said, "Then I'll wait for the next round."

Genta and the other two immediately cheered. "Thank you! Thank you, ladies, and this big brother!"

Shu Yunwen stared blankly from the side.

He looked at Gin and Vodka, who were already sitting in the last row, and Shinichi and Ran, who were in the second row.

Logically, shouldn't Hitomi and Reiko be in the first row, and Aiko and Kishida in the third? With these three kids interfering, Hitomi and the others have to wait for the next round. Won't the murder case happen in the next round? If Kudo Shinichi doesn't personally experience the murder, won't it take him longer to solve the case? If it takes him too long, he might not be able to follow Gin and Vodka, and then he won't take the shrinking drug...

Director, this script is wrong!

The scenes are all mixed up, and it might fall apart!

To ensure Conan could appear smoothly, Shu Yunwen stepped forward and, without a word, punched Genta on the head. "Genta, don't cause trouble for others!"

Reiko saw this and quickly waved her hand. "Sir, please don't do that. They're very cute and haven't caused us any trouble! Hitomi, Aiko, Mr. Kishida, let's wait over there for now!"

Hey, hey, hey! Why are you leaving already? I'm trying to prevent the plot from being ruined here, okay?

At this moment, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were already seated in the front row. Genta looked up at Shu Yunwen with a pitiful expression. Seeing that Aiko and the others had walked far away, Shu Yunwen could only wave his hand and let Genta sit down.

Tsukamoto Kazumi asked from the side, "There's still an empty seat. Do you want to sit, Yunwen-san?"

"This... I'll pass." Shu Yunwen shook his head, pondering that after this ride, when Kishida and the other three were up for the next round, he would give up his name so that Kudo Shinichi could take it, making it easier to solve the case later.

Well, no matter what, the plot had to return to its original point.

Seeing that Shu Yunwen wasn't going to sit, Tsukamoto Kazumi also shook her head. "Then I'll wait too."

The staff saw that neither Shu Yunwen nor Tsukamoto Kazumi were sitting, so they found someone who came alone and had them sit. Once seated, the roller coaster began its journey.

A while later, the coaster stopped on the track again, and everyone got off. Gin and Vodka glanced around indifferently and then left in a hurry.

After a simple safety check, the broadcast announced that the next round of roller coaster riders should prepare to board. Shu Yunwen was thinking about how to trick Kudo Shinichi into riding again when he saw Kudo Shinichi say something to Ran and then quickly run off into the distance.

Shu Yunwen's eyes widened, and he felt an urge to give up. "Kudo Shinichi, why are you running?"

Kudo Shinichi turned back and waved. "Sorry, classmate Shu, I have something to take care of, so I'm leaving first!"

Leaving first, leaving, la la la la...

What the hell! If the protagonist of this manga is gone, what am I still doing here?

A "well" symbol appeared on Shu Yunwen's forehead. He asked Ran, "Mori-san, Kudo-san, he's..."

"He, he seems to have noticed those two people in black..."

Before Ran could finish, Shu Yunwen roughly understood.

So, the "washing machine" had sensed the strong killing intent from Gin and Vodka and was rushing off to cleanse the world of evil. However, if he went now, would he shrink?

"Yunwen-san, since only the two of us haven't boarded, let's go too!" Tsukamoto Kazumi said, taking Shu Yunwen's hand and pointing at the coaster on the track.

Shu Yunwen glanced around. The second row was empty. The first row had Hitomi and Reiko, and the third row had Aiko and Kishida.

Alright! Their seating arrangements hadn't changed.

Shu Yunwen hesitated for a moment, but then he remembered the matter of absorbing souls and got into the coaster with Tsukamoto Kazumi. Tsukamoto Kazumi waved to Ran and said, "Mori-san, please take care of Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko!"

"I understand," Ran replied with a nod.

The roller coaster began its journey. Tsukamoto Kazumi reached out and grabbed Shu Yunwen's hand, suddenly asking, "Yunwen-san, you don't seem to like it? But you used to really like riding this..."

"Really?" Shu Yunwen was stunned. "I've ridden it before?"

"Of course," Tsukamoto Kazumi looked at Shu Yunwen. "When we came to Tropical Land together, you always rode the roller coaster."

"Uh..." Shu Yunwen froze for a moment, then said with an embarrassed expression, "Sorry, I don't remember."

"It's okay," Tsukamoto Kazumi smiled.

Shu Yunwen scratched his head with his other hand, then took out a handheld camera from his pocket and turned it on, pointing the lens upwards.

As the roller coaster's speed increased, Shu Yunwen activated his Ghost Eye and looked around. As for Tsukamoto Kazumi, she had already closed her eyes, trembling constantly, and gripping Shu Yunwen's hand tighter and tighter, making his hand ache.

"Kazumi, are you scared?" Shu Yunwen asked.

Tsukamoto Kazumi opened her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering gently. "This is my first time riding a roller coaster, so I'm very nervous. Am I holding on too tight? I'm so sorry for causing you trouble."

"N-no, it's fine..."

Shu Yunwen pondered and suddenly understood.

Tsukamoto Kazumi was probably very afraid of riding roller coasters, while his past self really liked it. Now, Tsukamoto Kazumi was forcing herself to ride the roller coaster to help him regain his memories.

"Kazumi, thank you," Shu Yunwen said.

Tsukamoto Kazumi replied, "No, no need. We don't need to say 'thank you' to each other."

"Why?" Shu Yunwen asked.

At the same time, a tunnel could be seen ahead.

Tsukamoto Kazumi looked at Shu Yunwen and slowly said, "Because, before your accident, we were dating..."

As she finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly plunged into darkness.

Shu Yunwen was also in a daze.

What was this? Was he being confessed to? If he agreed now, would it mean he had successfully found a partner?

He knew that in his past life, as a single dog with an uncle's face, his life had been very difficult.

There was a saying, wasn't there? Basic needs were met by hand...

However, he didn't seem to have any emotional foundation with Tsukamoto Kazumi at all! If he agreed just like that, it would be too irresponsible.

Shu Yunwen struggled with this thought for a long time. Finally, the desire to find a partner took over. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a scream. Shu Yunwen and Tsukamoto Kazumi turned their heads together—

A woman's body was missing its head, and blood was still gushing from her neck.

Holy crap!

Shu Yunwen and Tsukamoto Kazumi turned their heads at the same time and started to vomit.

Inside Shu Yunwen's mind, that fountain-like image was too beautiful. As he vomited, Shu Yunwen suddenly remembered that he had intended to say a few words just now and successfully find a partner?

In this situation, with a corpse behind them, Shu Yunwen and Tsukamoto Kazumi vomiting to the sides, this intoxicating scene... finding a partner was a pipe dream!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

PS: This chapter is too long. I originally planned to finish and update it last night, but as I was writing, I realized it was hard to break it off, so I decided to finish it today before posting.

Well, over five thousand characters, that's substantial!
