“What?” With this request, he ran into Bulma's open doors, of course. "But please, just come here, kid," she smiled at Shinichi.

Kogoro and Ran were equally amazed. How did Conan know this woman?

Grinning, the little detective marched towards the scientist. "Professor Agasa has told me a lot about you, he's also a scientist, you know, Ms. Briefs ..."

"Oh, you can call me Bulma, what's your name?"

“My name is Conan Edogawa.” He bowed politely to the scientist, then turned to her companion questioningly. "Are you her husband?" He asked in disguised childish bluntness. As a primary school student, you could allow yourself such questions.

“N-no, no!” Thanks to the freckles, the young man's face turned even redder.

~ What ?! ~ Vegeta growled ungraciously. ~ I'm in the GR right now! ~

As if he were somewhere else. ~ I didn't say anything. Keep training! ~

~ Hmpf. ~

~ Yourselves, Hmpf! ~

Shinichi frowned slightly as he studied Bulma's strangely withdrawn demeanor. Meanwhile, Ran and her father had come across the small group and asked Joshu - after Bulma's permission - to show them the glider - of course without going into any technical details.After all, it was a prototype.

"This is Joshu, my assistant, Conan," Bulma then explained. "Where do you want your autograph?"

"Um", he had already forgotten that, "on my wallet, please."

Bulma smiled and accepted the request and handed the wallet back to the little one.

Lightning flashed over the heads of the five, no one had seen the rising clouds.

"Looks like a thunderstorm," muttered Bulma. "We should rather go back to the CC", she said to Joshu, then she spoke to Kogoro: "And where are you going now? Hopefully your car will start. And ... please excuse my impossible behavior from earlier ... . "

"I forgot," the detective winked. "We're on our way to the beach ..."

"Then you are wrong," interfered Joshu, who has meanwhile been able to overcome his shyness a little. "And pretty much as wrong as you can be wrong at all ..."
"Didn't I tell you?" Shinichi growled into his imaginary beard. “And what do we do now?” He spoke softly, but loud enough that Bulma could still hear him well. The whole accident that had happened here struck him as strange. He wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. Why didn't she look scared at all? Did she experience this often? After the first external inspection of the plane, Shinichi could not find anything, but if he could take a look inside ... So he had to address the heart of the good guys. The scientist Briefs was filthy rich, maybe he could get her to accept her as guests.

“No problem, you can come and see me, okay?” The first thick drops of rain fell from the sky and splashed across the street. Bulma turned around, encapsulated the supersonic glider and stowed it with the other Hoipoi capsules in the storage box provided, from which she took another capsule labeled '576'.

"How ... how did that work?", Kogoro stuttered in disbelief and gave Ran a confused look. Only Shinichi seemed more interested with every passing second.

"This is a practical storage option, the so-called Hoipoi technique," Joshu said eagerly. "Professor Briefs, the boss and founder of Capsule Corp. invented them."

"Yeah, okay," said Bulma. Apparently she did not agree with praise that didn’t revolve around her. "Should we encapsulate the car here too ... I wouldn't leave it standing." She caught the skeptical looks and sighed. "Nothing happens there! Really. You just turn the object into a miniature version and then transport it in a capsule. I can demonstrate it with pleasure ..." With that she pressed the button on capsule 576 and threw it a few meters away. After a puff there was a huge flying car. "Well?"

"Okay," Kogoro agreed reluctantly. If it didn't work out, he could write the car off the tax ... hopefully.He watched as the turquoise-haired woman took a kind of plaster from the box with the capsule and stuck it on his car. Then she pressed the elevation of the sticker and -puff- she caught a capsule. "The sticker is for single use," she explained, and put this capsule in the box as well. "Everyone get in, please!"

"Can I sit in the front?" Shinichi asked excitedly. Not because he wanted to enjoy the view, but because he had a better view of Bulma from there. Something was lazy here. Why had she gone through such a change of mood when he let it through that he knew her name? Had he just destroyed a plan of hers? Or was she just so vain? But that didn't explain her brief trance state. * Everything more than strange *, Shinichi thought and leaned back in the armchair and watched her every movement through the reflection of the plexiglass on the front of the aircraft.



Preview: Will Joshu play a bigger role as a food service and tour guide? Why is Shinichi so suspicious? Was Bulma really going to get rid of her assistant?[BI: No, she just wanted to run away with him. * over the shoulder look * Nobody there, phew. ]
