Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Chapter 654: Half Reality, Half Dream

The parties are always lively and relaxed.

A large group of people were eating delicious food, chatting freely, playing and joking together...

I should have liked this kind of atmosphere the most.

But for the brave man at this moment, it was a little too warm.

On the throne covered by sunlight,

The man wearing the mask looked at his friends in front of him with a smile.

Yun Xianhe did not take the initiative to participate in their conversation and only responded when asked.

Piled around him were his favorite foods.

It was carefully prepared by Xiaolan, Morobushi Kagemitsu and others.

taste good.

That's how it should be.

A man who swallows a steak feels as if thick wax has coated his tongue.

I'm about to vomit.

The man who was drinking water in big gulps lowered his eyes vacantly.

The invisible darkness amplifies the sound.

The images conjured up in my mind are distorted and shifting unsteadily, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and dreams.

"Cheers, kid!"

[“Hey! Want to have a drink together?”]

Chu Ziye's voice mixed with Matsuda Jinpei's.

The brave man with a fake smile raised the sparkling water in his hand, and lightly touched it with the water in the air in the intersection of time and space.

The person whose features could not be seen clearly smiled brightly, turned around and started talking to someone else.

“This is delicious!”

[“What day is today? The food is so good!”]

The sound of the garden overlapped with the sound of Zui Yafeng.

The scene in the darkness changed from a mixture of friends from the current world and the "Floating Clouds and All Things" adventure team to the enemy "Sharp Knife" team from the 7783 world.

The carefree girl raised her mechanical right arm high, with a piece of steak stuck on the fork in her hand.

“It’s awesome!”

[“It’s so delicious! Is it a top-grade product?!”]

As if she remembered who was treating her today, the girl turned her head and looked at Yun Xianhe with sparkling eyes:

"Thank you Xianhe for the treat! I'll treat you to something delicious some other day!"

[“Thank you for your expense! Captain, I really love you!”]

The smile on the hero's lips deepened a little.

His eyes unconsciously fell on the cartoon stickers on the other party's robotic arm.

That child... is now at the age where he loves to play around...

"Brother Xianhe, can't you eat a little more?"

[“General! If you don’t eat more, you will be unable to march any further!”]

The scene of the combination of intelligent machines and planetary civilization suddenly changed and turned into the desert battlefield of the 9535 world.

Soldiers younger than the hero looked at their commander's vague way of eating and shouted in disapproval.

Then he picked off a large piece of meat from the freshly roasted leg of lamb and put it into the large bowl in front of him.

As if seeing Yun Xianhe looking at him, the young soldier's face, which had turned wheat-colored due to wind and sun, showed a bright and clean smile:

[“Hey, General, please don’t look down on me. I just washed my hands.”]

"Brother Xianhe? Do you want to try this?"

A piece of pork ribs picked up with serving chopsticks fell onto the plate.

Clean porcelain plates overlap with rough, dusty bowls, and slightly burnt barbecued meat and perfect ribs are interspersed.

Xiangyang's back fell on the rocks by the river.

The backlit predecessor sits in front of a neat dining table.

Yun Xianhe clenched the chopsticks with his stiff fingertips, picked up the tangled mass of food, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"delicious."

So, the boy smiled when he heard his words.

"Eat more if you like it."

[“That’s right! My barbecue skills are first-rate!”]

The person next to him said with a smile:

"Conan, you should eat more too."

[“General, just listen to him! He even burned it last night!”]

"Okay, Sister Xiaolan!"

[“Hey! That was an accident, okay? Besides, it was obviously Xiao Cui who didn’t turn it over!”]

The person whose name was called immediately got furious:

[“I told you! Don’t call me by that name!”]

[“Ah—no! Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui—”]

[“Hey! You’re itching, aren’t you?”]

A noisy group of people, a short break.

Yun Xianhe swallowed the whole piece of food with his brows lowered. He kept stuffing food into his mouth, trying to make himself look busier in this way.

Or maybe he wanted to make himself look like he was enjoying the party more.

"Idle Crane."

【“Brother Yun.”】

The dry and scorching Gobi Desert was transformed into the peach forest of the 1921 world.

Yun Xianhe stopped picking up food and looked over.

The gentleman sitting under the tree raised the small wine glass that he had personally drawn in ink to him.

The aroma of peach blossoms and warm wine came over as I moved closer.

The gentle and elegant scholar overlaps with the smiling and gentle life assistant.

The fingertips with gun calluses were replaced by bare hands that could only hold a pen.

The young man smiled innocently, his voice soft as ink in water:

[“Does this satisfy your wish to have a little leisure time? Is my dense forest to your liking?”]

"How is it? Is the food to your liking?"

Looking at the expectation in the other person's eyes, the person who was being treated to a grand banquet smiled.

The hand holding the cup raised and touched it lightly:

"Very much to my liking."

The young man smiled when he got the answer.

Peach blossoms fell, and the fluttering pink raindrops blurred the other person's face. All that could be heard was a sigh of emotion, or perhaps relief:

"As long as you like it."

“That’s great.”

"..."

The person whose throat seemed to be choked rolled his Adam's apple with difficulty to suppress the nausea that was about to rise.

The brave man drank big gulps of sparkling water and let his hair cover his eyebrows and eyes.

The empty cup was placed on the dining table, making a crisp sound when it collided with the porcelain plate.

No one noticed.

The man, who was clearly sober but seemed drunk, leaned back against the back of the chair.

There was laughter all around my ears.

Can't tell who it belongs to.

It seemed like the sun, it seemed like that guy Lie Xiangming, and it seemed like Su Li'an.

wrong……

It seems like Qing Jinxing.

Or is it Wu Heyi?

What are you whispering about? Tell him about it.

…The overlapping sounds were a bit too loud.

But, I am happy after all.

Then the brave man laughed as well.

A very clean and clear sound, enough to cover up all the fatigue.

In the darkness before my eyes, the picture made up of my imagination twisted and twisted again.

The demon king in a white shirt sitting in the corner turned his head and looked at him.

The pair of clear blue eyes hidden by the slightly long black hair lit up slightly when she saw him, and a wanton smile appeared at the corners of her lips:

[“Hey! My dear friend! You haven’t come to see me for a long time!”]

The Immortal Luoxue, who was sitting next to him, also raised his glass:

[“Brother, when will you come to my place?”]

Xing Wuyou, who was sitting in a wheelchair opposite, seemed to have noticed Yun Xianhe's gaze.

The young man's pale face rarely showed a smile, and he thanked him with unclear words:

[“Thank you for inviting me, Junior Brother. Is this considered an early discharge celebration?”]

Ah... these people can't fit together at the same table.

Then the hero's already light laughter stopped.

The wisp of joy dissipated in a moment of clarity.
