Chapter 210 The teammates I picked up ask for monthly votes ()

 Hattori Heiji yawned, feeling a little bored, and Conan was about the same.

 But on this island, except for the mermaid festival, there are no entertainment projects. Now they are all here. Although they failed to win the Dugong Arrow, I heard that the ceremony for issuing the Dugong Arrow was also very lively and there would also be fireworks. Why not go and have a look.

Jiang Xia certainly agreed to this proposal.

 The ceremony to award the dugong arrows will only start in one hour, so there is no need to rush to get there.

　A few people went to have dinner together first.

While killing time in the hotel, Jiang Xia condensed the puppet of the foggy dog ​​in a nearby hiding place.

 Then his consciousness possessed him, carried the mermaid ghost on his shoulders, and flew together to the mountain above the mermaid waterfall.

The open space below the waterfall is where the dugong arrows will be awarded.

Shimabukuro Kimie was not in the open space at this time, but like Jiang Xia, in the mountains above the waterfall—she had made a private appointment with Umihara Nami to meet here.

Shimabukuro Kimie is the miko who sends dugong arrows, and Umihara Nami is obsessed with wanting the dugong arrows. It is not difficult to take advantage of this to get her out.

 …

Nami Umihara came to the top of the waterfall as promised, but did not see Shimabukuro Kimie.

She walked to the river and kicked stones into the river boredly while waiting for someone.

Shimabukuro Kimie walked out from behind the tree gently. She looked at the woman with her back to her with a complicated expression, holding a piece of rope and approaching silently.

However, just when she was about to strangle him, she heard a splash of water.

—A strange huge wave suddenly surged in the river, and with a clear purpose, Nami Umihara, who was standing by the river, was swept into the water.

 As soon as Shimabukuro-kune closed and opened his eyes, the person he wanted to kill was gone.

 She looked at the empty river bank and was stunned for a moment.

The sound of rushing water around us has not stopped, but has become more intense.

Shimabukuro Kimie cautiously came closer and looked at Nami Umihara struggling at the bottom of the river, feeling extremely confused.

This river is not deep, but no matter how hard Nami Umihara struggles, she can't stand up. Something seems to be entangled in her under the water.

The surroundings were very dark, and Shimashiro Kimie could only vaguely see some outlines. She inexplicably felt that the "thing" entangled with Umihara Nami looked like a person with a fish tail, or...

 A mermaid? ! Shimabukuro Kimie watched helplessly as his target was swept around several times by the water. At the same time, the protective rope on the riverside also fell off and fell into the river, spinning together with Umihara Nami.

 Finally, the protective rope was tightly wrapped around Umihara Nami's neck and tied with a thick wild knot.

Then the woman in the river went down the river, just like Shimabukuro Kime's murderous plan, she fell off the cliff and hung lifelessly in front of the waterfall.

Shimabukuro Kimie looked at this scene blankly, suspecting that he was dreaming.

She looked into the water again, but there was nothing. The "mermaid" just now seemed to be just her illusion.

But…

Shimadai Kimie thought of the fresh corpse hanging on the waterfall, and she couldn't convince herself that Umihara Nami's death was just an accident.

 And if we take the fact that "mermaids exist in the world" as the premise of thinking...

Although Umihara Nami was qualified to receive the Dugong Arrow, since the awarding ceremony has not yet begun, she has not yet received the Dugong Arrow. Naturally, she will not be punished by the mermaid because she "lost the arrow."

 But judging from what happened just now, the mermaid has a very clear hatred for her.

 Think again about Menari Yaori who drowned in the sea for no apparent reason not long ago...

Shimabukuro Junhui's heart suddenly moved.

The mermaid, the mermaid who appeared in the river and killed Nami Umihara before she could do anything...

Could it be her mother?

 …

More than ten meters away, Jiang Xia was sitting on a tree, temporarily switching to Xiaobai's puppet.

As soon as Kiritengu was freed from the puppet, he flew conscientiously towards Shimashiro Kimie, who was meditating facing the river.

It grabbed the rare murderous aura that smelled like sweet and sour fish around the miko, and rolled up the fallen part of the murderous aura into a big ball like a marshmallow.

Two of the people Shimabukuro Kime wanted to kill have already died on their own.

 This part of her murderous aura could not be poured out on the deceased, and it would dissipate on its own within a few days.

　　Since I came here tonight, I would be really sorry for myself if I didn’t take away those crumbling murderous auras.
