Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"But..." Imaoka Kaishiro looked at the wall clock in the store, feeling a little embarrassed, "There will be storms and strong tides tonight. We are going to close at four o'clock in the afternoon. I will seal the door then, so you guys will wait a moment. I'm afraid I won't be able to open the door when I get back to shore."

"Then, let's extend the rental period of the surfboard to tomorrow and buy the board wax," Chi Feichi insisted on going surfing. This was his spiritual food now. Seeing that Amuro Toru had no objection, he looked at Imaoka calmly. Kaishiro said, "We will not return the surfboard tonight. The rental fee will be temporarily deducted from the previous deposit. We will pay the bill tomorrow. What do you think?"

With such a calm attitude, Imaoka Kaishiro couldn't toughen his tone, and nodded to Chi Feichi, "That's it. Please pay attention to your safety, both of you."

Seeing that the two apprentices were about to go out, Mouri Kogoro quickly stood up and shouted, "In that case, you can go back to the hotel soon! I will take Xiaolan and Conan back soon!"

Toru Amuro waited for Chi Feichi to open the door and go out, then turned around and said with a smile, "Yes, we promise to go back when it's time to prepare dinner!"

Chi Feichi helped Toru Amuro hold the door, and after Amuro Toru went out, he let go and let the door close.

The beach was sunny and sunny before, and it was hard to feel the wind blowing.

At this moment, the sky is covered with clouds, and the gray-white clouds meet the sea with big waves. The sun's rays are blocked, causing the sand grains to lose their original bright and gorgeous golden color and become dull. The entire beach seems to have faded. old photos.

The sea breeze blowing in front of you carries a salty smell, giving the empty beach a rather deserted atmosphere.

When Chi Feichi and Toru Amuro walked towards the sea with their surfboards in hand, Imaoka Ting's annoyed voice could be heard vaguely in the room behind them.

"...You don't even have the spirit of challenge...Now you are just a smelly old man who makes a living by making models! You are so boring..."

Toru Amuro turned to look at the closed door, then turned back and continued walking forward, leaving his voice behind him, and complained to Chi Feichi, "Mr. Imaoka seems to be the kind of person with a stubborn and strong personality, Miss Xiao Ting He also has a character that refuses to bow his head. They would probably quarrel over big and small things. However, Mr. Imaoka should care about Miss Xiao Ting. He seemed a little jealous when Miss Xiao Ting reminded you not to smoke after exercising. As for... As for Miss Xiao Ting’s attitude towards Mr. Imaoka, I haven’t been able to judge yet, because there are also couples who complain and argue all day long, but actually love each other very much, but I’m not sure whether they are influenced by Mr. Imaoka. Due to her attitude, even I think there is something wrong with her reminding you of this matter..."

"I didn't use a lighter or match to make any noise at that time, and I hadn't lit a cigarette yet. Of course there was no smell of smoke in the air. Even you guys sitting with me didn't notice that I was about to smoke. How did she find out? Chi Feichi pointed out the problem calmly, "My husband is talking to the children about the situation on the coast. Others are listening carefully, but my wife is paying attention to the situation of other men. Isn't that okay?"

"No, that's right," Toru Amuro recalled in surprise, "Mr. Imaoka was talking to Conan at that time. Everyone's attention was on the two of them, but Miss Ting was looking at you. This is... too strange. Already..."

With that said, Toru Amuro took two steps to the side and distanced himself from Chi Feichi. As he walked forward, he looked at Chi Feichi in confusion, "I thought my gentle personality would be more popular with women." Welcome, I didn’t expect that Miss Xiao Ting is more concerned about you who don’t communicate much and don’t look kind enough. Do girls nowadays prefer those who look cold?”

"Always try to figure out the thoughts of a certain person or group," Chi Feichi said, somewhat complaining, "Is this a sign of your focus on self-improvement?"

"That's right," Toru Amuro said seriously, pretending not to hear what Chi Feichi was complaining about, "I also figured it out, Miss Xiaoting will pay more attention to you, it should be related to her personality, a woman who likes surfing He should also like challenges more than ordinary people and be more easily attracted to challenging people or things. In this case, Mr. Imaoka frowned dissatisfied at that time. He was really not jealous. He did not allow Miss Xiao Ting to come. In addition to being worried about surfing, it may also be because I am jealous and don’t want Miss Xiao Ting to have too much contact with us, especially you..."

"That's the desire for control." Chi Feichi affirmed.

"Huh?" Toru Amuro vaguely grasped the key point, "You mean, Mr. Imaoka's... control behavior towards Miss Xiao Ting?"

"A husband who is entering his old age has a young wife. The husband will definitely feel anxious about his declining physical fitness and no longer strong body. To put it simply, he is worried that he will be rejected and left behind," Chi Fei Chi walked forward, looking calmly at the waves crashing on the beach, "If the wife shows great energy, physical strength, and loves adventure, the fear in his heart will be stronger, and the husband will be even more afraid, like surfing." It would be nice if the hobby didn’t exist.”

Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment.

'It would be nice if hobbies like surfing didn't exist...'

The consultant said this calmly, which made people feel a chill behind them. What made his back even more chilly was that he kept recalling every move and expression change of the Imaoka couple just now, and felt that this was indeed what Mr. Imaoka was thinking.

He thought that the consultant did not pay attention to the problems of the Imaoka couple at all, but he did not expect that the consultant had already clearly seen those two people and the problems between them...

The wife pays too much attention to the man she just met, and the husband does not want his wife to do the things he likes for the sake of security. The problems between this couple are not just jealousy, quarrels, and disagreements. It should be said that they seem to be in harmony but are separated from each other, right?

After thinking about it, Toru Amuro looked up at the white sky and sighed, "The age gap is too big. Sure enough, we will face many problems. Men are very concerned about their physical fitness. I can't imagine that I will be sixty years old." Sometimes, will you feel lost because your body is no longer strong and your physical energy is no longer sufficient..."

"Don't think so much," Chi Feichi walked into the sea holding his surfboard. "The job you do is too dangerous. It's hard to say whether you can live to that age."

Toru Amuro: "?"

Does the consultant know what nonsense he is talking about?

Oh, yes, the consultant must know what he is saying, but he hopes that the consultant will not say it if he can't speak...

Forget it, it's better for his consultant to be willing to talk than to be autistic. If he made remarks like the one just now, he would assume that they were words of comfort to him.

…

On the sea, after the waves rise, they fall down like a long curtain, crashing into the sea with full force, pushing clusters of waves towards the shore.

Surfing in this situation requires superb skills to control the surfboard. Occasionally, you are accidentally knocked down by a wave, and it takes a lot of effort to get rid of the wave. It is thrilling and consumes more physical energy.

Amuro Tohru didn't persist as long as last time, and he didn't show off his strength at this time. He regarded this as an ordinary physical exercise. Feeling that his physical strength was almost exhausted, he returned to the coast to rest in time, and looked at Chi Feichi by the way. Figures moving in the waves.

Chi Feichi also regarded this surfing as physical exercise, but in addition to physical exercise, he also needed to gain spiritual food from the thrilling experience. He wanted to take on various more dangerous challenges, and he also had some crazy and outrageous ideas.

For example, he also thought about using up all his strength to sink into the sea. He would become one with the vast sea, and he would be the sea...

Thoughts like this that were not right were suppressed by Chi Feichi immediately.

Although he has dimensional lungs that can provide oxygen in the water, he is worried that Amuro will plunge into the sea to look for him after seeing him sinking into the sea.

Fortunately, surfing will encounter various situations, big and small challenges, but it does not let the sin of gluttony dwell on those dangerous thoughts.

Toru Amuro rested on the shore for a while. When the sky became darker, he gritted his teeth and returned to the sea with the surfboard in his arms.

Not long after Amuro entered the sea, Chi Feichi returned to the shore, pretended to rest for a while, and entered the sea again.

Toru Amuro, who was preparing to return to shore: "..."

It’s not over today, is it?

Seeing that it was getting dark, Amuro Toru calculated that there was not enough time to repeat the behavior of "returning to the shore to rest and go into the sea again". Thinking that returning to the shore to wait for Chi Feichi would be a waste of time, so he gritted his teeth and persisted for a while.

When the storm was about to come, there were faint flashes of thunder in the clouds, and the waves on the sea were getting higher and higher. It seemed that with every passing minute, the sea environment was several times worse than before.

After Toru Amuro made a mistake and fell into the sea, he knew that his physical strength could not cope with the more dangerous environment, so he turned back to the coast. He was almost swept in by a big wave on the way. After finally returning to the shore, he was so tired that he wanted to lie down on the beach for a while. , but because the water level was rising after high tide, I could only stand in the sea holding the surfboard, and looked back to look for Chi Feichi in the sea.

Chi Feichi persisted for two minutes longer than Toru Amuro. In just two minutes, he almost exhausted more energy than Toru Amuro, and he returned to the beach.

The two of them didn't speak, and their deep and heavy breathing was masked by the howling wind. After meeting on the shore, they set off without stopping, holding the surfboard and dragging heavy steps towards the hotel.

Halfway through the walk, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and heavy rain poured down. The rain curtain quickly enveloped the two people who were slowly walking towards the hotel.

Chi Feichi had fire in his body and would not feel cold. Toru Amuro was wearing cold-proof clothes and was not cold either. The two of them walked to the hotel step by step in the rain, feeling quite relaxed and happy.

Exercise can bring happiness to people.

Especially people who are used to exercising can more easily gain a sense of satisfaction when their body reaches its limit. Feeling the pain in the body is like feeling that the body is stronger than before after recovery.

That feeling of satisfaction almost calmed down the sin of gluttony in Chi Feichi's body. Although he was not full, being seven-point full was considered to be beyond the 'hungry standard line', which could calm his inner urge to cause trouble.
