Chapter 79 What the heck is Cold and Arrogant?
Returned to the Hotel.
Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Haibara Ai stayed in one Room, while Chi Feichi and Conan stayed in another Room.
Haibara Ai carried her Paper Bowl to Chi Feichi's Room, "Aren't we going back tomorrow?"
"Worried about the Goldfish dying?" Chi Feichi guessed Haibara Ai's thoughts. Goldfish caught or bought outside like this are indeed not easy to keep alive. He stood up and said, "I'll go find the Boss and ask for some Salt."
Conan, who was making his Bedding nearby, was stunned. He turned his Head to look at Chi Feichi, "Goldfish aren't tasty, right?"
Chi Feichi glanced at Conan, his expression calm. "Paper Bowls are not necessarily clean. We can't change the Fish Tank now, and Goldfish are difficult to keep alive. Adding a little Salt at a ratio of one-thousandth of the Water can achieve sterilization."
Conan was embarrassed: "..." Okay, okay, he had misunderstood.
"I'll go too." Haibara Ai put down the Paper Bowl and followed Chi Feichi Downstairs.
The First Floor was lit with dim Lamplight. Kyogoku Makoto was guarding the Counter alone. After hearing Chi Feichi and Haibara Ai's purpose, he turned around, went to the Kitchen, took a bag of Salt, and put it in Haibara Ai's hand, remaining silent throughout.
It wasn't until Chi Feichi intended to go Upstairs that Kyogoku Makoto hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Senior Chi…"
Chi Feichi stopped and turned his Head. Senior?
After Kyogoku Makoto called out to Chi Feichi, he stopped hesitating and looked at Chi Feichi frankly, "I am also a Student from Beika High School, but when I enrolled, you had already Graduated. We haven't been able to meet before, but my Senior sister said that there used to be a Cold and Arrogant Senior in School. I just saw the Name you registered…"
Chi Feichi: "..." What the heck is Cold and Arrogant?
Haibara Ai said calmly, "Rumors are a Flute blown with speculation, suspicion, and conjecture. If you only use your Ear to understand others, then we have nothing to say."
"No, I never believe Rumors," Kyogoku Makoto looked directly at Chi Feichi. "I just have a few Questions that I want to ask Senior Chi no matter what!"
Chi Feichi nodded, "Wait for me to change my Clothes."
Kyogoku Makoto then breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll wait for you Downstairs!"
Chi Feichi returned to his Room, removed his Weights, and changed into Clothes that were easier to move in.
He originally wanted to find an Opportunity to see if he could have a fight with Kyogoku Makoto. He didn't expect Kyogoku Makoto to approach him first, which was exactly what he wanted.
After leaving the Room, Haibara Ai and Conan were Whispering in the Corridor.
"Just these, how could I have guessed…" Conan's voice was very low.
"If you can't guess, then don't guess," Chi Feichi pressed a Little Head with one Hand. "Go back to sleep, Conan. Help me take care of Feichi."
"Uh, okay," Conan looked Downstairs, "That person…"
"It's okay, I roughly know what he wants to say." Chi Feichi went Downstairs and said to Kyogoku Makoto, who was waiting at the Counter, "Talk Outside?"
"Okay!" Kyogoku Makoto nodded.
Hearing no movement Downstairs, Haibara Ai, who was standing in front of the Corridor, frowned, "I still feel that the Atmosphere when they were talking just now was a bit strange."
"You're thinking too much, right? Okay, okay, don't overthink it…" Conan yawned, opened the Door, and saw the Weights placed in the Wall Corner at a glance. He immediately perked up, "Let's go follow them and see!"
"Hey…" Haibara Ai didn't even have time to speak before she watched Conan run Downstairs like a gust of Wind and followed him.
Suzuki Sonoko opened the Room Door, poked her Head out to take a look, and saw that there was no one Outside. She said in confusion, "Strange, I seemed to have heard Kid Conan's voice just Outside the Door…"
"You must have misheard," Mouri Ran said from inside the Room. "Ai, aren't you coming over to sleep yet?"
Suzuki Sonoko glanced over and noticed that the Room Next Door was still lit. "It seems she's still with Brother Feichi. Maybe she's comparing with Conan to see whose Goldfish is bigger. Kids are just energetic…"
"I don't think Conan and Ai are the kind of people who would do such a thing…" Mouri Ran said.
"Okay, let's not worry about them," Suzuki Sonoko yawned and closed the Door. "They'll naturally come to sleep when they're sleepy…"
...
Conan ran to the First Floor, but didn't see anyone. He then followed and ran Outside, still not seeing Chi Feichi who had gone Downstairs earlier.
"What exactly happened?" Haibara Ai trotted out after him.
"I saw that guy Chi Feichi's Weights in the Room. He removed his Weights, which means he must be going to fight someone. And in normal situations, he can handle things without removing his Weights, which shows that he's serious this time." Conan surveyed the Environment around the Hotel, then ran to the edge of the Forest, squatted down, and checked the Wild Grass that had been trampled down. "It should have been trampled down not long ago. They went into the Forest!"
"Let's go take a look."
"Wait a moment!" Conan pulled Haibara Ai, who was about to enter the Forest, looked at the Forest, and frowned in consideration.
Going into the Forest at Night is easy to encounter danger. If those two just simply want to have a fight and don't have much grudge, then we don't need to follow them. If we encounter any trouble after entering the Forest, even if it's just getting lost, it will trouble others.
However, they don't know anything about what kind of person the Hotel Boss is, what kind of Personality he has, or what grudges the two have, not even their Names. If the other party has malicious intentions due to some grudge, as long as they set up a Trap in the Forest beforehand or hid a Weapon, even if Chi Feichi is highly skilled, he will be in danger…
After considering it, Conan still felt that it was better to follow and take a look. He turned on the Flashlight on his Watch and entered the Forest first, "This Forest should not have many people entering and exiting normally. We can find them based on the Traces on the Ground."
Haibara Ai nodded, used the lighting to look at the Traces on the Ground, and then fell into Silence.
Conan was also stunned for a moment. He shone the light forward and then saw the Footprints behind. "The distance between the Footprints is very long, and the center of gravity is all forward, indicating that both of them ran into the Forest, and their Speed is very fast. Uh… this Speed…"
Looking at the Traces and Footprints, the Speed of these two people is not ordinary fast, at least it's the Speed of a Sprinter in a Competition. Although they will Warm-up before fighting, it won't consume too much Stamina. Could it be that those two are planning to run a lap in the Forest in the middle of the Night? Or are they chasing something into it? What exactly are these two doing, seriously!
"Could it be that they are chasing something?" Haibara Ai also thought of this point.
Conan used the Watch-type Flashlight to look around, not even missing the Tree. "There are no Traces of other people or Creatures on the Ground, nor are there any on the Tree. If there was something else that led them into the Forest, it would leave some Traces, even Birds. If they could see them and chase after them, the flight altitude wouldn't be too high, and there should be Traces left on the Tree… Could it be that Beika High School has some tradition of meeting for a race?"
Haibara Ai had black lines all over her Head, "Probably not."
Conan thought about it and agreed. He had never heard of Beika High School having such a bizarre tradition. "In short, we'll find out by going over and taking a look!"
...
In the Forest, two figures were rapidly shuttling through.
Chi Feichi was in front, his Speed as fast as a ghost.
Kyogoku Makoto followed behind, his eyes filled with increasing surprise.
Before, Chi Feichi walked to the edge of the Forest, dropped a sentence 'Keep up,' and started sprinting. He still didn't understand Chi Feichi's intention even now.
However, Chi Feichi's Body fitness was also unexpectedly strong.
When he first saw Chi Feichi, he could see Traces of practicing fighting Skill in Chi Feichi's Actions, but he didn't take it to heart. Judging from the bone structure of his Hands and his walking habits, Chi Feichi's training Time should not exceed two years, completely a newcomer.
But if he is someone who has trained for no more than two years, how could he possibly achieve this kind of physical ability?
No, from Chi Feichi's sprinting Actions, he could roughly see a little Trace of Skill. He couldn't see what specific Skill it was for the time being, but this is a person who focuses on Speed, Agility, Endurance, and is proficient in Skill!
After Chi Feichi found a sufficiently wide Open Ground, he slowed down his pace, stopped, and turned around to look at Kyogoku Makoto.
Kyogoku Makoto came back to his senses and realized that he had unconsciously started analyzing other people's Situations again. He also stopped his pace and wondered in his heart, "Why…" Why did he bring him here? Why did he keep running in front all the way?
Chi Feichi didn't give Kyogoku Makoto a chance to ask further. He reached out and adopted a Stance, "Fight me seriously, and if you win, I will answer your Questions."
