In the end, Mutian Yuan decided to go down and find something to eat. However, he didn't directly say he was going to eat. Instead, he used his bad mood as an excuse to say he wanted to drink alcohol.
Then, the kind-hearted Ran suggested that drinking on an empty stomach was bad for his health and had the hotel owner bring out the dinner they had saved for Mutian Yuan. Ultimately, Mutian Yuan reluctantly ate six plates of curry rice and three plates of sushi under Ran's persuasion... After eating his fill, Mutian Yuan, still in a gloomy mood, said goodbye to Ran and Conan, who were also returning to their rooms, then closed the door.
Mutian Yuan then happily jumped onto the bed. After rolling around, Mutian Yuan suddenly turned to look at the little fox, who was sitting beside him with his eyes closed, and said, "Oh, right, what exactly did you steal... pick up from Kuroiwa's house today? You can take it out and show me now, can't you?"
"Oh, right, I almost forgot about that!"
The little fox jumped up when he heard Mutian Yuan's words. Then, after rummaging around, he placed some jewelry, an inconspicuous small bag, and a large stack of dollar bills in front of Mutian Yuan. The little fox happily wagged his tail and said, "I don't know how much the jewelry and that bag of diamonds are worth, but I counted these dollar bills, and there's a total of three hundred thousand! Heh heh, we're rich again!"
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. We're indeed rich again."
Mutian Yuan also nodded happily. However, although Mutian Yuan was also happy about this unexpected fortune, he wasn't as excited as when he found those... gold coins. This was mainly because he had seen a lot of the world now.
Besides, he didn't worry about money anymore since he discovered horse racing, but no one disliked having too much money. Just then, the little fox suddenly exclaimed, "Huh?" Then he pulled out a scroll from his body and said somewhat puzzledly, "Strange, where did this come from? I don't think I stole... picked up this thing from Kuroiwa's house this afternoon."
"Who knows," Mutian Yuan replied, shrugging as he took the scroll from the little fox. Then Mutian Yuan opened the scroll and saw it was an ink painting of a bamboo house and a small bridge over a stream. Before Mutian Yuan could look closely, he suddenly felt a buzz in his head, and many things appeared in his mind...
After an unknown amount of time, Mutian Yuan digested the information in his mind. He then trembling picked up the scroll in his hand, looking excited and somewhat incredulous, "River and Mountain Shrine Map!"
As a lot of information popped up in Mutian Yuan's mind, the little fox also received a lot of information. At this moment, the little fox excitedly shouted, "I didn't expect your meddling to bring about such a good thing! It seems your efforts this time weren't in vain!"
This thing was an exclusive item of the Alpaca Sect, named the River and Mountain Shrine Map. In fact, it was... equivalent to a summoning space. The reason it suddenly appeared was entirely because Mutian Yuan, being idle, acted heroically and helped Shizuka's family get vindicated, which activated some kind of merit! "I said collecting some yin virtues for you would be useful! See, isn't this benefit here already?"
Mutian Yuan crouched on the bed, holding the scroll in his hand, and grumbled to the little fox. Then Mutian Yuan, while happily examining the ink painting, said, "I swear, no matter how lame the Alpaca Sect's name sounds, it's still somewhat like a divine beast. How could its inheritance only give me foreign language proficiency and body strengthening? So there are other things as well!"
"Let's go, let's go, let's go in and see! With this thing, we can also fly with you now!"
The little fox excitedly wagged its tail at Mutian Yuan. This ink painting could store animals. Mutian Yuan, as the owner, could also enter it. At this moment, the little fox was eager to go in and see. Mutian Yuan was also excited. He immediately nodded to the little fox. Then, with a thought, Mutian Yuan, the little fox, and Meowth entered the ink painting.
Meowth was initially excitedly grabbing the little fox's rapidly wagging tail due to uncontrollable instinct. Then he suddenly felt the surrounding environment change. Meowth immediately hugged the little fox's tail and said blankly, "Meow, meow, meow! Where is this?!"
Mutian Yuan and the little fox did not immediately answer Meowth's question, because they were also dumbfounded. And their level of dumbfoundedness was even greater than Meowth's. After a long silence,
Mutian Yuan looked left and right at the misty surroundings. He then looked up and down at the grass beneath his feet and the night sky above his head. Finally, he said expressionlessly, "This is the internal space of the River and Mountain Shrine Map."
"Hmm... Theoretically, yes..."
The little fox also nodded expressionlessly. Then the little fox and Mutian Yuan looked at each other and simultaneously exclaimed in unison: "Damn it!"
Meowth asked while vigilantly looking around, "What's wrong, Meow? Have we been captured, Meow?"
"No, this can be considered our territory..."
Mutian Yuan explained to Meowth. Then Mutian Yuan said angrily, "Damn it, this is what a broken River and Mountain Shrine Map is?! The area is too vast, isn't it?! This scale is even smaller than a toilet! And it's even a public toilet cubicle! How can it be called a River and Mountain Shrine Map with such a small area?!
If I drag a bathtub in here, I'd have to put it vertically! If Mother NĂĽwa knew that there was a fake River and Mountain Shrine Map with the same name as hers, and it was only this small, she'd probably cry!"
"Heh heh, you still want a bathtub. Even if you dragged in a larger fish tank, you'd have to put it vertically..."
The little fox was also very angry, but even if angry, the little fox didn't forget to refute Mutian Yuan's statement... "I think the area is only enough for a squat toilet. If you put a Western toilet, there might not even be enough space for wiping."
After a long silence, Mutian Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the surrounding area. The little fox nodded and said, "That's right, but I don't think there will be a trash can then."
The item that was previously treasured was now, due to its size, just a small toilet in Mutian Yuan and the little fox's eyes... After complaining a few more times about this disappointing item, Lee Jun-yang, with the little fox, and Meowth, who was happily bumping into the surrounding misty air and bouncing back, left this sad place.
After emerging from that dilapidated River and Mountain Shrine Map, Mutian Yuan, lifeless, casually pushed aside the broken map, then lay on the bed and said, "I knew this Alpaca Sect inheritance was unreliable. Indeed, my guess was right. It's... unreliable!"
"But you weren't saying that before..."
The little fox, crouching on the side in depression, rolled its eyes and complained. Mutian Yuan, however, retorted directly, "I was the one who misunderstood it! I swear if I ever have any more expectations for that... damn Alpaca Sect, I'm their idiot father!"
Meowth didn't know what had happened. He looked at Mutian Yuan and the little fox, somewhat confused: "What's wrong, Meow?"
"It's just that I'm disappointed with that broken place," Mutian Yuan said, reaching out and stroking Meowth's head, sighing. Meowth, meanwhile, squinted at Mutian Yuan's hand and rubbed against it. "But I thought it was fun!"
"We can't just look at whether it's fun or not."
Mutian Yuan sighed helplessly again. Then Mutian Yuan turned to the little fox and said, "Do you think it's possible that that broken place's level wasn't high enough... so the area was so small?"
"Very possible."
The now calm little fox also nodded in agreement. Then the little fox looked at Mutian Yuan seriously and said, "But do you know how to upgrade it?"
"I don't know..."
Mutian Yuan answered even more bluntly. The information he received only said how to enter and exit it, and then nothing else. How was he supposed to know how to upgrade it?! Finally, Mutian Yuan and the little fox still came up with a use for it: Mutian Yuan could throw things into it, such as the jewelry, diamonds, and dollar bills the little fox found. After figuring out this usage, Mutian Yuan expressed a slight sense of relief.
At least he now had a storage space. It was just that the setting of having to carry a painting around was a bit hard for Mutian Yuan to accept... The next day, after a farewell from Big Brother Shizuka, Mutian Yuan, looking dispirited,
boarded the ship with Detective Mouri, Ran, Conan, and Inspector Megure, who was also returning to Tokyo, beginning their journey home. It has to be said that the little fox and Meowth's adaptability was still very strong. At least when they sailed again, although they were nervous at first,
as soon as the ship started moving, they both found that their seasickness had disappeared! Mutian Yuan, who was feeling gloomy because of being tricked by that broken map the night before, was lying on the ship's railing, looking sadly at the seascape.
However, this perfectly matched his performance from last night, making Ran, Conan, and Detective Mouri think he was still upset about the Aso family incident. Immediately, the unreliable but very loyal Detective Mouri proactively approached Mutian Yuan. After handing Mutian Yuan a cigarette, he comforted him. Mutian Yuan,
seeing that Detective Mouri had misunderstood, just nodded absentmindedly. Detective Mouri was kind, and even though his medicine wasn't right for the ailment, he couldn't let down his kindness. But he couldn't tell the detective that he was depressed because he was tricked by that damn inheritance! So, besides playing along, he had no other choice!
