第1118話: 女子会中の蘇武福リゾートで起こる奇妙な現象

1118

Soaked in the steamy-hot water from the Sufutsu Hot Spring, Professor Agasa, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Conan were having their good time. Owing to the fact that it was a mixed bath, the girls did not come along. On the other hand, at the Sufutsu Resort, Sonoko, Ran, Ayumi, Haibara, and Sato met once again after the previous reunion. As Ayumi explained, Sonoko and Ran were there to snowboard[N 1], Sato were there to snowmobile[N 2], and Haibara and she was there to fish. After knowing that Takagi could not come with Sato due to a leg injury, the girls began to experience all projects within the ski resort. Everyone had fun and retired to their dwelling. In the meantime, they were rejoicing their "girls' day out"; Detective Sato was also delighted to not think about cases anymore. Haphazardly, the girls heard some trepidations from the resort staff, whose name was Satoko Yamaguchi; she was speaking with Shu Kitada, the highly-aged resort manager, with fear. Out of curiosity, Sato stepped in and inquired of the matter. Having known that she was an off-duty police officer, the resort manager decided to disclose the fuss: weird things began to happen at the ski resort four days ago; a huge snowman cropped up unexpectedly in the resort venue, then the following day, a mystical signboard was hanged on another area within the resort, later even an igloo emerged out of nowhere. At first all of the resort staff member had speculated that it might had been built by some sort of weirdo guests. Yet after checking the security camera footage, they realised that things might not turn out that simple. The person who apparently had built these did not show their faces or clothing within the camera footage, instead, only black clothes were seen. Strangely, today, the fantasy had brought up to another level - some tress in the resort were painted white. The resort manager Yamaguchi took it to be a prank, so he was not so willing to remove them. Kitada then proposed another possibility: that is, these series of "pranks" might be related to the robbery incident from two years ago... (Source: DCW Wiki)
