Chapter 859: Begins with Mermaid, Ends with Mermaid
The only sound in the entire mourning hall was the sound of waves crashing against the shore.
An old fisherman with white hair stepped forward tremblingly: "Yes... We know that the Shimabukuro family has been acting out this drama for this island for three generations..."
"We saw the warehouse on fire last night, and saw the longevity lady appear..." another old man choked up, tears welling up in his cloudy eyes, "We understood."
The relatives of the three deceased were also silent, with guilt written all over their faces.
Hattori Heiji and Conan stood there in a daze.
"Mermaid Island does not welcome you." The old fisherman suddenly said.
Other villagers echoed: "Yes, we are not welcome!"
"Get out!"
"Nosy detective!"
Maori Kogoro:?
He didn't do anything! How could he be injured by mistake?
Kimie Shimabukuro stood beside the coffin, tears silently falling.
She had finally waited for this day.
——Her mother can rest in peace.
......
The legend of Mermaid Island was completely overturned.
The police classified these three incidents as accidents. However, after the news spread, the version turned into the revenge of the mermaid.
This mysterious statement instantly created a craze among tourists and completely aroused people's interest in Mermaid Island. The topic on the Internet instantly became a hot search topic.
Hattori Heiji and Conan were naturally dissatisfied with this result.
After going through a lot of hardships, they finally uncovered the complicated truth behind the case, but watched it being distorted into such a seemingly absurd conclusion.
But their dissatisfaction seems so powerless in the face of reality.
Kogoro Mori, who was implicated by the two men and was hostile to the villagers on the island, punched each of them and dragged them back to the hotel. He didn't want to anger the local villagers because of these two young men.
After all, if a mermaid can avenge once, she can avenge twice.
Moreover, on such a remote island far away from the mainland, official control is very limited, and the public opinion of the islanders, to a certain extent, represents the greatest law.
As the sun sets, the sea surface of Mermaid Island is dyed golden.
Shimabukuro Kimie stood in front of the shrine, looking at the bustling tourists, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth. It was a long-lost smile that came from the heart.
This was the first time that she stood here without any burden, not to play a role. Instead, she was standing here as her true self.
"Decided?"
Hanyu Kusunoki asked lazily, leaning against the cherry tree.
"Yes." She nodded gently, "My mother has protected the island for her entire life, and now...she finally doesn't need me anymore."
She turned slowly and looked at Hanyu Nan with a devout and grateful gaze, "God, thank you."
Hanyu Kusunoki waved his hand: "It's just a piece of cake."
Shimabukuro Kimie pursed her lips, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind. She suddenly stood on tiptoe and leaned forward slightly. Her movements were quick and shy.
"Chirp."
A soft kiss fell on Hanyu Kusunoki's cheek.
"This is a thank you gift, Lord God." She said with a blushing face.
"Booy?!"
Yingying poked her head out from Hanyu Nan's shoulder with a look of shock on her face.
The Milotica (Empress) in the fish tank was originally swimming leisurely. Seeing this, she rolled her eyes in disdain and slowly spit out a string of bubbles - haha, another stupid human being who was deceived by the charm of her master.
Hanyu Kusunoki touched his cheek, feeling the remaining warmth, and a happy smile appeared on his face. "This is a good thank-you gift. Your Lord God likes it very much. You can give me more next time."
Shimabukuro Kimie chuckled, then said seriously: "Before I leave, I want to hold another dugong festival."
"For your mother?"
"Yeah." She looked towards the direction of the shrine. "She really loved this island... I want to leave one last beautiful memory for her and for this island before I leave."
..........
As night falls, Mermaid Island is brightly lit again.
This dugong celebration was more lively than yesterday's - after all, the legend of "mermaid's revenge" has made this island even more mysterious.
Kimie Shimabukuro stood on the stage wearing a formal shrine maiden costume.
At this moment, she was like a goddess from a legend, holding a torch in her hand. The flames danced in the night wind, reflecting her firm yet gentle face.
"Now, start drawing this year's dugong arrows!"
After saying that, she turned around and held the torch toward the paper door behind her. As the flames licked, three numbers appeared one after another:
"No. 18! No. 42! No. 77!"
There is no shady dealings or conspiracy in this celebration, only pure blessings.
So it's no surprise...
"Ah! It's me!" Xiaolan held up the number plate in surprise.
Mingmei also smiled and gently shook the card in her hand, saying gently: "What a coincidence, I won too."
Xiao Ai raised the third number plate expressionlessly: "......"
She didn't even go to draw lots, where did this lot come from?
A certain bird jumped twice at her feet, with an innocent look on its face: "Buyi~"
Xiao Ai: “…”
I see. It’s someone’s shady dealings again.
However, she didn't refuse.
Although she was very dissatisfied with the behavior of a scumbag guardian who brought little sisters home at every turn, but...Shimabukuro Kimie's experience did touch her a little.
"Go ahead." Hanyu Kusunoki rubbed her head.
Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at him but still walked towards the stage with her short legs.
..........
The ceremony of awarding the Dugong Arrow officially began.
Shimabukuro Kimie held three arrows and handed them to Xiaolan, Mingmei and Ai respectively.
She whispered, "May the mermaid's blessing be with you."
At this moment——
"Wow!"
The pool under the Mermaid Waterfall suddenly rippled, and an elegant figure slowly emerged from the water.
The silvery-white scales sparkle with a dreamy luster in the moonlight, the slender body is as smooth as silk, and the beautiful fins sway gently, like a flower blooming in the water.
——Mienshao!
The most beautiful Pokémon in the legend appeared before everyone.
The tourists were instantly excited!
There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd.
"Oh my god! It's a mermaid!"
"Take a picture! Take a picture!"
"It turns out there are real mermaids on Mermaid Island!"
Flashes were flashing like crazy and everyone was taking pictures excitedly.
The empress swam gently to Shimabukuro Kimie's side, rubbed her hand with her head in a slightly tsundere but cooperative manner.
After witnessing this eventful and touching drama about mermaids on the island, the heart of the Clownfish became completely perfect, and with its beautiful scales, it successfully evolved into Milotic.
Shimabukuro Kimie smiled slightly and reached out to touch its scales.
"Thank you."
She knew that this was a gift from God.
It starts with a mermaid and ends with a mermaid.
