As they took the stage, the music rang out.

This music Chiba is too familiar - this is not an original song by ES CONNEXION, but the first song of Minami Takayama's debut album released on December 10, 1992 with the support of Shiina Nagano - "Endless Communication" - but if Chiba remembers correctly, that song only has two positions, the singer and keyboardist, and there is no need for Osamu Kisakawa to appear as a guitarist, right? (As a matter of fact, three of the six songs on ES CONNEXION's only album were created by Minami Takayama and Shiina Nagano before the group was formed.) ）

It was at this moment that they stepped onto the stage.

"Wow!!"

“Minami！！！”

“ES CONNEXION！！！”

The frenzied cheers of more than 10,000 people almost suffocated Chiba, and Osamu Shinogawa and Shiina Nagano let go of the detective group's hands, came to their place on the stage and motioned for the little ones to come along—just to facilitate the performance.

Chiba saw that there was a playing keyboard on each side of the stage - it seems that although Osamu Kisakawa is a guitarist, he can also use the electronic keyboard very skillfully...

"I'VE GOT AN ENDLESS COMMUNICATION" Takayama Minami took Ayumi and Conan to the lead singer's position, squatted down in the surprised eyes of everyone, and sang with Ayumi and Conan, who had already got the little note of lyrics, with the microphone in their hands.

At this moment, Osamu Kisakawa and Shiina Nagano each motioned for them to walk to the microphone next to the electronic keyboard.

In this way, Japan's hottest singing group sent six elementary school students who were almost unknown to the spotlight of fans around the world.

Well... In a sense, five.

Although Qianyu was still singing to the rhythm of Gao Shannan, his mind was not on the music at all.

Behind him, Gray Yuan wore a cap borrowed from the staff, his head bowed, as if he was trying to escape from the spotlight.

What's wrong with her? According to her own understanding of her, this kind of scene is at most a little nervous in her heart, but on the surface it must still be very calm (just like Qianyu's current state). But now why is she so out of shape...

Gray Yuan's hand was on Qianyu's shoulder, completely hiding in the shadows behind Qianyu.

Chiba was startled by the two small hands that came from behind his back, but he immediately felt something that surprised him even more by the touch coming from his shoulder.

Gray Yuan's hand trembled very much, she was not nervous, but afraid!

Qian Yu reacted immediately, taking a slight step back, hiding Gray Yuan Wai further behind him. Gray Yuan Wai did not reject Qianyu's behavior of approaching him, but also moved forward a little, put the peaked cap on Qianyu's body, and buried his face in Qianyu's clothes.

In such an unsettling atmosphere, Qian Yu and the others finished singing "Endless Communication".

"Do you want to know, why are we bringing these little kids on stage?" Takayama Minami, who had been half-kneeling and sharing a microphone with Conan and Ayumi, stood up and asked. "Because less than an hour ago, it was these children who bravely saved my partner, Mr. Shiina Nagano, from the vicious kidnappers."

There was an uproar in the audience, and a large number of eyes were refocused on Qian Yu and the others.

Gray Yuan lowered his head, pressed the tongue of the cap down, and then pressed his head against Chiha's back - this movement without warning made Chiba tremble a little.

"Now, let's give these little warriors a round of applause!" As he spoke, Takayama handed the microphone to Conan. "Give your names one by one!"

"You can help me say that..." After hearing this, Gray Yuan Wai whispered to Qian Yu.

"I... My name is Conan Edogawa. At this time, Conan's side had already begun to introduce.

"This is Ayumi Yoshida!" Ayumi is obviously a lot more lively than Conan.

"Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya!"

"Motota Kojima!"

"My name is Tachibana Chiba," Chiba bowed slightly, saluting the audience, and then looked behind him. "Hmmm... It looks like my friend is a little nervous, her name is Gray Plains. ”

As Qianyu introduced herself, the audience applauded thunderously and sent encouragement to these brave little guys.

After receiving the encouragement of the audience, Osamu Kashikawa brought Chiba and the others back to the backstage.

"What's going on?" Conan saw that something was obviously wrong, and asked Chiha, who could clearly feel that after the "cocoon" game, the relationship between Chiba and Ashen Hara was warming up at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. "Isn't that right?"

"Maybe you're not feeling well," Qian Yu shook her head. "Shall I send her back first?"

"In that case, you can send her back first." Conan nodded. "I'm going to the hot springs tomorrow, so it's best not to get sick today."

。。。

After the concert, backstage.

Takayama Minami was removing her makeup in her dressing room with the help of her assistant when there was a knock on the door.

"Huh?" Gao Shannan looked at the door curiously, hesitated for a moment, and then put on a special mask on the dressing table—this mask was made to face this situation—and opened the door.

Outside the door was a man with long blond hair wearing a black trench coat and a black hat.

"Where is that kid named 'Tachibana Chiba' just now?" The man's tone was flat, but it gave people an unmistakable sense of oppression.

“。。。” Gao Shannan felt a little out of breath for a moment - the pressure of this person was even more terrifying than the sum of the oppressive force generated by tens of thousands of spectators at the usual concert. "That..."

Takayama doesn't feel like she even has the courage to lie - so she chooses to tell the truth.

"I don't know where he is, he just went back."

Takayama Minami doesn't have the courage to tell lies, but she has the courage to tell the truth that will be misleading.

“。。。” The blonde man's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he left.

“。。。” Gao Shannan looked at this inexplicable strange man, shrugged his shoulders and closed the door and took off his mask. "Strange guy ... Leave him alone and continue to help me remove my makeup. ”

。。。

The blonde man made his way to the parking lot and got into his cherished antique sedan — but in the passenger seat.

"Big brother," a burly man, also dressed in black, sat in the driver's seat, looking at the blonde man. "What have you been doing?"

"It's nothing, let's go back." The blonde man was silent for a moment before saying lightly.

The Porsche 356A is gone after a moment of engine jolting.
