Conan felt a chill down his spine and became more wary of Ju Fufu.
Ran was a bit flustered by Sonoko's words, her face slightly red, unsure if it was from shyness or annoyance.
To ease the awkwardness, she leaned down and said to Conan.
"Conan, do you want to get a fortune told too? Maybe it can even tell you where the person you'll like in the future is?"
She teased with a smile,
"But Conan, if you ever have someone you like in the future, you must cherish her well. Don't be like your Shinichi brother, who disappears at the drop of a hat, leaving no trace and making everyone worry sick."
Sonoko also wore an gossipy expression and reached out to pat Conan's head.
"Hehe, the girl Conan likes should be Ayumi or that Haibara, I think they both seem to like Conan a lot.
You little rascal, don't tell me you're planning to date both of them."
Conan gave her a half-moon eye, thinking to himself where Sonoko got the idea that Ayumi and Haibara liked him, it was complete nonsense.
However, he was just fretting over not having an opportunity to test this fortune teller, so he went with the flow and looked up at Ju Fufu.
The figures of Gin and Vodka appeared in his mind.
"Alright, then I want a fortune told too."
Conan said in a tender child's voice,
"Master, I also want to ask about someone's whereabouts. Please help me with a divination."
He stared intently at Ju Fufu's reaction behind her sunglasses.
Ju Fufu seemed to be stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, little friend, you also come and shake a hexagram."
Conan picked up the turtle dice cup, shook it twice, and when he opened it, the dice showed three moon patterns.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Conan vaguely noticed that the three moon patterns emitted a red glow.
But in a blink of an eye, the dice returned to normal.
"Profound Yin Devouring the Moon!"
Ju Fufu gasped.
The black dog Ashuo, who was pressed under the table by her, also climbed up, staring dumbfounded at this divination result.
Ran asked in confusion, "Master, is Conan's divination not good?"
Ju Fufu and Ashuo exchanged glances.
Ashuo shook its dog head left and right.
Ju Fufu explained, "It's more than just not good, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's extremely ominous."
"Hehe,"
She pretended to do some calculations and then said to Conan.
"Little friend… the person you seek…"
Ju Fufu narrowed her eyes dramatically before continuing:
"According to the hexagram, doesn't he often dress in black?"
Boom—!!
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Conan's mind!
Black Organization!!
This fortune teller actually directly pointed out the key characteristic of black clothes?!
Was this still a coincidence? How could she know?!
Conan instantly lost his usual composure, abruptly took a step forward, and eagerly pressed on.
"Yes! He wears black clothes! Master! Do you know where he is?! Please tell me!"
Conan's agitated appearance stunned Ran, and Sonoko leaned into Ran's ear and said.
"This little rascal Conan, the girl he likes even wears black clothes. What little girl would dress like that? It's probably an older sister."
However, Ju Fufu did not directly answer Conan's question.
She merely slowly took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of eyes with a hint of playful amusement, then stroked her two ridiculous fake mustaches, and said in a very mystical tone.
"Heaven's secrets must not be revealed. Little friend, do not be impatient, you will meet the person you wish to see eventually.
On a side note, I'll give you a divination. today you are plagued by bad luck, and it is especially ill-advised for you to eat. Remember, remember."
After speaking, she ignored Conan's shocked expression and began to leisurely pack up the items on her stall.
A drop of sweat ran down Conan's forehead.
He found Ju Fufu's warning about not eating strange.
Putting on an act! What's ill-advised about eating? Could eating even lead to disaster?
I must be overthinking it. How could fortune-telling be real? Maybe the parts she got right before were just deductions.
Just then, familiar laughter came from the mountain path.
"Rina-nee, this fish you bought is so lively! It's still jumping!"
"Yes, Pan Yinhu specifically requested the freshest ingredients, they must be moving."
"Eh~ such high demands. But speaking of which, after climbing the mountain for so long, I'm a bit hungry..."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Rin and Alexandrina walking together from down the mountain.
Rin had changed into an outfit similar to Ju Fufu's.
Alexandrina, on the other hand, was carrying a huge shopping bag. The bag looked heavy and was filled with various fresh vegetables and meats. Most notably, a fresh fish still vigorously wiggling its tail and a live squid with squirming tentacles protruded from the opening of the bag.
Rin spotted the group in front of the fortune-telling stall at a glance, a surprised smile appearing on her face.
"Ran! Sonoko! Conan! You're here too?"
Her gaze then fell upon Ju Fufu, who was packing up her stall, and her smile grew even brighter, carrying a hint of intimacy, "Senior Martial SisterFufu! Are you hustling people with your stall again?"
Senior Martial Sister?!
This address stunned Conan, Ran, and Sonoko, who all looked in unison at Ju Fufu.
They saw Ju Fufu, who had just moments ago been acting like an enlightened master, immediately drop the things in her hands upon hearing Rin's voice and abruptly stand up.
She snatched off the tiger-striped small round hat from her head and the two ridiculous fake mustaches from the corners of her mouth, revealing a head of orange-yellow hair and a cute face with a cunning smile.
The moment she stood up, a fluffy tail with black ring-shaped patterns 'whooshed' out from behind her, wagging happily in the air a few times.
"Little Junior Sister! You're here!"
Ju Fufu cheered, like a large cat seeing its owner, and excitedly pounced forward, hugging Rin tightly, and even rubbing her head against Rin's shoulder,
"I missed you so much!"
Rin also smiled and hugged her back, reaching out to skillfully ruffle Ju Fufu's tiger head, her tone doting. "Senior Martial Sister Fufu, after a few days, how do you seem to have become even cuter?"
"No! Not at all!"
Ju Fufu's reaction suddenly became unusually intense. She abruptly jumped out of Ling's embrace, put her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed out, and her tail bristled up like an angry cat.
"Little Junior Sister, you're bullying me again! I'm the majestic Senior Martial Sister! I'm not cute at all! Not cute even a little bit! Hmph!"
This extremely contrasting scene left Sonoko and Ran, who were watching nearby, dumbfounded.
Conan's mouth twitched even more. What... what kind of development is this?! This strange fortune teller is actually Rin's Senior Martial Sister?! How come Rin has acquaintances everywhere.
Rin looked at the bristling Ju Fufu and smiled even more happily, quickly soothing her.
"Alright, alright, our Senior Martial Sister Fufu is the most majestic, the most majestic in the world, not cute, not cute at all~"
Only then was Ju Fufu slightly satisfied, she snorted twice, and her tail slowly drooped, resuming its leisurely sway.
