Start By Becoming Mangaka 759 The Pirate Still Shines (Patreon)

Ranko and everyone rented the bicycles and started to ride it around the town to find the first location of this treasure hunt game. 

From the clue, they knew that it mentioned sunset and they had decided to go to the west part of this island. 

This island isn't that big and it is quite easy to go to that place. 

They asked the people around until they had found out that the spot for the second riddle was in the nearby cliff. They didn't hesitate and rode their bicycle to that location together trying to find this treasure together.

"Since the riddle mentioned the sunset, we have come to the west of the island," Kuina said with 45-degree pose and dramatic tone. 

"..."

"Still, we're the treasure?" Yukana asked. 

Conan looked around the location until he saw a large hole around the location of the cliff. He smirked when he saw the thing that was located inside that hole. 

"Oh! I got it!" Mitsuhiko suddenly said and looked at them, "The riddle is... 'Even if the setting sun is almost at its end, a pirate still shines.'" 

"So it must be..." Mitsuhiko didn't answer immediately and pointed his finger toward the sea, "Offshore!" 

"That's true!" Ayumi nodded. 

"..." 

"Then, how can we get that stamp in the deep of the sea?" Ranko was speechless. 

"W - Well..." Mitsuhiko couldn't answer her and laughed wrily.

Ranko sighed and looked at Conan. She knew that there might be something happened when she was around this kind but it was okay since Yuuki would protect her but she decided to think about the answer for a while.

Yukana who looked around suddenly pointed at the spot where there were a lot of seagulls gathering in one location, "What's that?" 

"It's a large school of fish," Kuina answered. 

They were looking at the school of fish until they heard her voice. 

"Everyone, I know the location of the stamp," Hinako suddenly said. 

"Eh? Really? Where is it Hina-chan?" Ranko asked. 

"It was over there," Hinako pointed at the stairs that were connected to some location under the sea. 

"Onee-chan, how did you know?" Ayumi asked curiously. 

Conan and Haibara were also curious about who this girl knew the answer to. 

Suddenly a seagull landed on her arm and surprised everyone. 

"This girl has told me the location of the stamp, let's go, everyone," Hinako said. Her confidence had been boosted since she had been with him for a while. 

"...." 

"Ha? Does she know the answer from the animal?" Conan felt that this girl tried to scam him.

Haibara walked to Makoto and asked, "Can Hinako use magic?" 

"No, I think that is one of her talents since some people can talk with an animal from their birth," Makoto explained. 

Haibara nodded after hearing her explanation. She was wondering whether she could learn such a thing from her. 

"Wow! Onee-chan, you're amazing!" Ayumi was amazed. 

"Yes, can you talk with an animal?" Mitsuhiko was surprised. 

"Can you talk with an eel?" Genta asked. 

Hinako smiled and explained to them kindly. 

Chiaki, Kuina, and Mayuki who saw her couldn't help but drop tears since they were moved when they saw her able to talk with a kid normally. 

They followed her and walked down the stairs. 

Haibara sighed and looked around until she saw a ship that was moving very fast toward the land. She used her binoculars to see what was happening. She was a bit shocked when they saw two ships and saw him along with everyone following the other ship. 

"Haibara, what's wrong?" Paula asked. She couldn't swim and decided to follow everyone on the treasure hunt. She squinted her eyes and saw Tsugumi and everyone on the ship moving very fast, "Tsugumi?" She didn't hesitate and started to run toward their direction. 

"....." Haibara was speechless when she saw her running away very fast. She shook her head and followed everyone to go downward of this cliff. 

---

"Why are there so many fish that are gathering over here," Ranko asked. 

"It might be because they are hungry," Genta answered. 

"Hmm, that might be possible since I have read that there is a lot of plankton that is living offshore," Kuina explained. 

They nodded at her explanation and entered a cave under this cliff. They were surprised that there was such a big cave hiding in this place. 

"Amazing..." Chiaki said.

"Is there anything down here?" Yukana asked. 

"Look," Conan said and pointed at the water inside the cave. 

They saw that the water was very shiny and made it very beautiful. 

"It's a bioluminescent plankton!" Mitsuhiko said. 

"You sure know a lot of things," Makoto said.

"Yes, because we're the detective boys!" They answered at the same time. 

"Even though there is a girl in your group?" Yukana asked with a confused expression. 

"...." 

"Well, anyway, this place is matching the riddle, 'Even if the setting sun is almost red at its end, a pirate still shines.'," Conan said and pointed at the chest in front of them, "There is the treasure chest." 

They didn't hesitate and went over there to stamp their map. They saw a number of both 7 and 18 in blue color after they had stamped their map. They also took the next riddle to go to the next spot of the stamp.

"The skinny pirate would laugh?" Chiaki felt confused. 

"You can laugh even if you're not thin," Genta felt that he had been mocked. 

"..." Everyone looked at his body that was similar to a small barrel. 

Conan looked at the riddle and saw that Haibara had called him. He walked over there and asked, "What's wrong?" 

Chiaki also moved over there since Haibara also called her. 

"I saw someone in a diving suit, covered in blood, being carried away," Haibara said. 

Chiaki and Conan were startled when they heard it.

"What?" Conan was startled.

"It's not Yuuki, right?" Chiaki asked. 

"I'm not sure but we need to check it out," Haibara said. 

They nodded together and told everyone that they needed to go out at first and told them to continue their treasure hunting without them. 

"Manager!" Hinako also followed them. She heard from the bird that there was someone who was wounded and she started to get worried. She didn't tell anyone but followed the three of them who had decided to stop their treasure hunting. 

Chiaki looked at her for a bit and nodded, "Alright, follow us." 

Hinako nodded and followed them to the local hospital.
