Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

After temporarily ending the topic of terrorist attacks, Suzuki Jikichiro is going to take everyone to visit the protagonist of this event, the target of Kaitou Kidd - the gem.

Take the elevator to the sky observation deck located on the top of the airship. There is a special transparent glass above the head, so you can directly see the sky outside. It is undoubtedly the best viewing platform to appreciate the stars at night.

There is a platform in the center of the Tengu Observation Deck. The gems are protected by a glass cover on the display stand in the center of the platform. Nakamori Ginzo in a suit and his subordinates stand around, monitoring every move in the area.

In addition to police support, the platform is also equipped with various anti-theft mechanisms, including bulletproof glass covers, foot traps, electric shock devices, mechanical gloves, etc...

Suzuki Jikichiro said confidently:

"As long as that kid dares to come, I guarantee he won't be able to eat and walk around!"

After introducing the mechanism, the next step is to introduce the gems.

It was a dark blue gemstone about the size of a thumb knuckle, set in a ring. The gemstone was dotted with tiny golden spots like stars, making it look like a scene in the night sky.

"So beautiful——!"

The members of the Young Detective Team were lying on the counter curiously, looking at the gems in front of them, and they all exclaimed in unison.

“This blue is so beautiful that it’s indescribable.”

Suzuki Sonoko, who was visiting at close range, couldn't help but sigh. Next to her, Mao Lilan said in surprise:

"There are golden particles shining on it, like stars!"

Suzuki Jijiro smiled and said:

"What is the largest of those golden particles, what do you think it looks like?"

Hearing this, after everyone observed more carefully for a moment, Yoshida Ayumi said loudly:

"It looks like a woman's face!"

"Hahaha, that's right!"

Suzuki Jikichiro laughed and explained:

"The deep blue night sky, the sparkling golden stars, and the profile of a woman... This is the origin of the name of this large lapis lazuli gemstone, [Lady of the Sky]."

"Pliny, the ancient Roman naturalist, once described her as a "fragment of stars shining in the sky".

“It’s perfect to decorate this sky observation deck with such a treasure!”

"Eh——"

The children once again let out an exclamation. At this time, Suzuki Sonoko seemed to have thought of something, smiled and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"Speaking of lapis lazuli, the lapis lazuli bracelet Ritsuka is wearing is also very beautiful, isn't it?"

"Eh?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't expect that the topic would suddenly turn to him. Faced with the looks from everyone, he scratched his cheeks in embarrassment.

At the same time, everyone also saw the 'very beautiful' lapis lazuli bracelet that Suzuki Sonoko said that Fujimaru Ritsuka wore on her left wrist.

Mao Lilan couldn't help but sighed:

"It is indeed beautiful!"

Unlike the eye-catching "Lady of the Sky", the lapis lazuli bracelet on Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand will not immediately make people notice its existence, but after noticing it, you can immediately appreciate the sparkling It has a glorious noble and restrained temperament, and is very suitable for its owner.

Seeing this, even Jikichiro Suzuki, who likes to collect gems, couldn't help but nod and praise:

"Lapis lazuli and gold complement each other, they are noble and restrained, and they are quite tasteful decorations."

"Thanks."

For everyone's praise, Fujimaru Ritsuka expressed his gratitude proudly, and Mashu on the side also smiled and said:

"It is indeed a gift from Mr. King Gilgamesh."

"Gilgamesh? Sir?!"

The next moment she heard this name from Mashu's mouth, Suzuki Sonoko's gossip heart instantly burned. She leaned towards Fujimaru Ritsuka and said teasingly:

"Could it be that that guy is your boyfriend? Or a suitor?"

"None of that!"

When Fujimaru Ritsuka heard this, his head suddenly darkened, and he quickly explained:

"We are just good friends."

"Hey~~~Do ordinary good friends give such gifts to each other? I don't believe it! Tell me honestly, what is the situation between you and him!"

"It's true...!"

"That's true!"

Seeing this, Mashu inserted it without hesitation and rescued Fujimaru Ritsuka. At the same time, he solemnly explained to Suzuki Sonoko with a serious face:

"Senior does not have any romantic relationship with Mr. Gilgamesh! Rather, if we are to be precise, our relationship is just an ordinary colleague!"

"Ah, is that so?"

Shocked by the inexplicable and astonishing aura from Mashu, Suzuki Sonoko nodded hesitantly, somewhat confused as to what was going on.

"that……"

At the same time, Fujimaru Ritsuka weakly raised his hands and said:

"Although it is true that there is no romantic relationship, is it a bit too crude to say that it is just an ordinary relationship between colleagues?"

"But that's pretty much it, right?"

Matthew is unstoppable now.

Sensing this information, Fujimaru Ritsuka decisively changed his words:

"Well...if you put it that way, it seems like..."

"It's really an eye-opener for me. Since I have such complete preparations, I should be able to write a good report in the end, right?"

On the other side, Takamichi Fujioka smiled and took out the cigarettes and lighter in his pocket. He was about to light a cigarette, but was stopped by a staff member on the side:

"If you want to smoke, please go to the smoking room on deck B."

"snort."

Hearing this, he had no choice but to put away his anger with some displeasure, and then invited Mouri Kogoro:

"Mr. Mori, do you want to come with us?"

"No,"

Mouri Kogoro, who was still afraid of heights, waved his hands feebly and said:

"I'm going to go back to my room and take a rest."

After visiting the gems, it was still early for the action time mentioned in Kaitou Kidd's notice letter, so everyone returned to the activity area below, rested for a while, prepared to eat, and then it was time for free activities.

"——Sister Ritsuka."

On the way back, Conan finally couldn't help but find Fujimaru Ritsuka, and hesitantly said:

"I want to ask something about Sherlock Holmes, that..."

"……ha?"

After listening to Conan's question, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly felt dumbfounded:

"Say, would you actually believe such an outrageous lie?"

"Eh?"

"It's impossible for Holmes to lose to Moriarty, unless their names and identities are reversed."

"...Although this is indeed true, it still hurts the old man's heart a bit, doesn't it?"

At this time, Moriarty's faint words came, but there was a smile that could not be concealed in his tone.

He looked at the stunned Conan and smiled:

"Am I right? Just ask Ritsuka for confirmation and you will get the truth in no time."

"Congratulations."

"——That's not what you said just now, okay?!"

Conan finally reacted and gritted his teeth and said:

"Are you really kidding me?"

"hateful……!"

The key is that he actually almost believed it, and he was struggling there alone for a long time!

It is indeed the evil Moriarty, so bad!

However, Moriarty did not reflect, but asked confidently:

"That's why you were thinking about some disrespectful things first, right?"

"this……"

Conan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became hesitant. He also didn't expect that the other party had noticed his thoughts just now.

Asking Moriarty about Holmes was indeed quite rude.

This is a bit embarrassing.
