In fact, the collision of C-shards is not as grand as A-shards - after all, C-shards are a few sizes smaller than A-shards, and fireballs are nowhere near as grand as A-shards.

"Ayumi didn't realize that this might be the case, so he didn't come to see it, right?" When everyone dispersed, Yuan Tai guessed.

"Probably not," Gray Yuan shook his head. "You should also know that he is not such a person."

"That's true, but it's really puzzling that Ayumi isn't here." Conan shook his head, and was about to say something, only to find that Gray Plains and Thousand Feathers didn't seem to be on the same path as them. "So—hey, where are you going?"

"This idiot played with me and disappeared, and I didn't eat to find him." Gray Plains pursed his lips and replied. "I'm sure I'm going to take this guy to the restaurant for a bite to eat now."

And just like that, the two men disappeared from Conan's sight.

……

In the restaurant, Gray Yuan just quietly watched as Qian Yu sat across from her with a plate. After saluting each other, the two of them ate - it was a bit inaccurate to say that both of them ate, as Ashbara's mind was clearly not entirely focused on eating, and most of the time, her eyes were watching Chiba eat.

"Tachibana," asked Gray Yuan Ai as he took a few drinks as his eating came to an end, and asked when Chiba had just finished eating a portion of food. "Tell me honestly, did you really eat lunch?"

"Huh?" Chiba was obviously a little unprepared for this. "You...... Why are you asking this? ”

"Look at the way you eat," said Gray Yuan Ai, holding his chin with one hand and staring into Chiha's eyes. "I'm pretty familiar with the way you eat, you can think about what you look like when you eat, and then tell me if you're hungry."

"......" The corners of Qianyu's mouth twitched, and after thinking for a moment, he didn't say anything.

"What did you do this afternoon?" Gray Yuan Wai continued to ask. "I didn't eat lunch or dinner, you can't just play and disappear by yourself after you and I were separated in the morning, right?"

Qian Yu seemed to want to say something, but chose to remain silent after seeing Gray Yuan's gaze.

"Mind telling me, what are you going to do?" Gray Yuan's tone was still so indifferent, but Qianyu's auxiliary unit told Qianyu that Gray Yuan's words were a little heavier than usual. And then, she herself seemed to realize that she was a little out of shape. "Ah, I didn't force you to say it...... If it's privacy, I didn't ask. ”

"......" Qian Yu remained silent, but the lip that had been bitten was slightly opened by the intersection of Gray Yuan's gaze again. Uh......"

Realizing that Qianyu might be about to say something, Gray Yuan's expression immediately became expectant, and he subconsciously approached Qianyu's direction with his body.

"I'm ......" Qianyu's expression was quite subtle, and he twisted it a few times before he said. I'm actually doing something for you...... It's probably tomorrow, but I can't tell you the specifics just yet, because I want to surprise you. Even though you already know about it, I want to keep some suspense for you as much as possible. ”

"What is it?" Gray Plains said with interest. "Can you give me any hints?"

"Hmm......" Qian Yu thought for a moment. You'll find out tomorrow, don't worry. ”

"Alright then," Gray Yuan looked into Chiha's eyes and suddenly smiled. "Then since you ask for it, then I might as well obey respectfully, and wait quietly for the surprise you bring me—oh yes, let me ask first, this surprise and the disappearance of Ayumi...... Or does it have anything to do with Ayumi? ”

"Ayumi?" Qian Yu blinked. "No, although I've probably guessed where she's most likely to go, I can promise that the things I did had nothing to do with Ayumi."

"That's good." Gray Yuan's smile widened.

……

For the next half day, the entire crew involved in the astronomical observations of the airship seemed to be busy with their work - although the A and C fragments had quite amazing observations, in fact, their preparations were basically for the G fragments. Because the G-fragment is the largest of all the fragments, and at the same time the one they are most likely to observe.

In such a busy atmosphere, a whole day passed.

On 18 January at 6:40 a.m. UTC, the airship will be at 6:40 p.m. local time.

"Where are you going to take me?" Walking in the passage with Qianyu, Gray Yuan said curiously. "I thought you forgot all about the surprise you gave me."

"How could you forget?" Qian Yu walked in front of her and said with a smile. "I didn't surprise you before, it's just because this surprise is only available to you now."

"At this point in time," Gray Yuan glanced at the time on his phone. "Is it possible that I have guessed what you want to give me?"

"Possibly," Qian Yu turned his head and looked at Gray Yuan's eyebrows, which were full of warmth. "You've probably guessed some of it."

It's 30 minutes before the G debris collides with Jupiter, and if Qianyu wants to surprise her at this time, it must mean that this incident itself will not affect the matter of witnessing the G debris collide with Jupiter - in other words, the surprise that Qianyu wants to give to Gray Yuan Ai may be related to witnessing the G debris colliding with Jupiter - but Qian Yu doesn't care about the fact that Gray Yuan Ai guessed this part of the content, because this itself is not the focus of the surprise he prepared.

A few minutes later, Chiba came to a door with Gray Plains. "Well, this is it."

"Where is this?" Gray Plains looked at the door with some curiosity.

"The top-floor observation room," Chiba explained. "The passage at the back of this leads to the observation room on the top floor of the Pearltree airship. The Observatory didn't observe there because the space there didn't meet the conditions before, but we could do it there—for the two of us. ”

"There's no one going to mess with it, right? Even if it is not possible to have an exclusive observation room, it is enough to have a private space. Gray Yuan asked with an eyebrow. Although she knew very well that with Qianyu's character, she would never ask her to a place where there were other people to do such a thing, she still asked with the idea of just in case. "I don't want to have a light bulb next to us."

"Why do you think I've been preparing for so long?" The corners of Chiha's mouth curled. "Don't worry, we have plenty of space and time tonight just for you and me."
