Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

It's really tiring to pretend to be a child...

Koizumi suddenly understood Kudo Shinichi.

After becoming Conan, he probably felt the same as I do now.

Normally she has a very cold and even apathetic personality, but after becoming a child, she has no choice but to act dumb and act clumsy in many things.

In particular, in order to distinguish Kyoko from her original personality, she deliberately created a somewhat irritable temper. She really had to act all the time, and if she wasn't careful she would be exposed.

Originally, Koizumi thought that as long as he stayed indoors, he could always relax a little bit, but...

Because of the security company's affairs, Nekozuka had to leave temporarily and take charge of the situation on her behalf as she was unable to get away.

This gave the five-man team an excellent excuse.

These people, under the pretext of helping Mao Zuka take care of the children, openly broke into her house and interfered with her and Xiao Shu's daily life.

At this moment, except for Ida Hang who was accompanying Natalie, the couple went their separate ways. The remaining four people were all gathered in her and Xiaoshu's room, playing Gobang with full concentration on the Go board.

Hiroki consciously helped her attract most of the firepower, but he couldn't avoid exposing his intelligence.

Although it was just Gobang, he had never lost a single game.

Koizumi did not persuade.

Although Hiroki is young, he is very competitive.

Advise him to lose to those five people on purpose?

impossible.

Koizumi wouldn't let him do that for his own sake.

Forget it, it’s already like this, just do whatever you want.

At least these guys don't seem to have connected her current identity with Sakurai Izumi's.

...Yeah, an adult turning into a child is too fantastic even if it's a special ability.

The one who was confronting Xiaoshu at this time was Fūya Rei. The two of them had almost filled up the entire chessboard, but there was still no winner.

Both of them looked focused and nervous, and Morobushi, Matsuda, and Hagiwara who were standing beside them were also watching seriously.

Koizumi was holding a novel by Kudo Yusaku and glanced over there speechlessly.

The only time she could relax was when she was reading seriously or sleeping, without having to pretend to be a child.

Seeing that no one over there seemed to notice him, Koizumi threw the book in his hand, lay down, closed his eyes, and entered the system space.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kyoko."

Koizumi looked at Sakurai speechlessly: "Don't mock me."

Sakurai smiled and said, "I've actually been wanting to ask you since yesterday, why did you use the name Naoesuke Kyoko? Is this a hint you gave them?"

"hint?"

Koizumi was stunned for a moment: "Time was too tight, this was the only name I had in my mind at the time. And... uh..."

Outside the light curtain, Zhu Fu Jingguang walked over quietly, carefully covered her with the quilt he had just taken out of the closet, and then left with light steps.

Matsuda took his hand off Xiaoshu's shoulder and motioned for him to sit down and continue playing chess.

Hagiwara and Fūya had just stopped looking at her.

Ok……

Koizumi sighed helplessly: "...and this is probably the only name that won't make Hiroki forget my name. Do you think they've become suspicious?"

Sakurai shook his head. "No, I don't feel that way. But you know how dramatic these guys are. If they were determined to pretend they didn't know or care, I probably wouldn't be able to detect it."

"…What about Xiaoshu? Do you think Furuya and Morobushi recognized him?"

"Maybe they recognized me. After all, even if they didn't remember my appearance, my intelligence is so obvious."

Koizumi held his head and groaned.

When it comes to being exposed, there is only a difference between zero times and countless times.

I always feel that all her secrets are about to be revealed.

Sakurai looked at her with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to act so hard, just relax a little."

"But……"

"Since Naoesa Kyoko appeared with Nekozuka and Koki, Furuya will definitely not let go of this clue. With his personality, he will definitely investigate. It's not a bad idea to let them investigate with Naoesa Kyoko as the starting point. Who knows, he might be able to find out something."

"...If your identity is still alive, you should be almost sixty now, right? He can guess that this eight or nine-year-old child and a sixty-year-old..."

Koizumi glanced at Sakurai and said, "…Is your aunt alone?"

Sakurai shrugged nonchalantly: "It's okay if you just say I'm an old lady. Look, even you with super powers find it incredible, so they will definitely not be able to guess it."

Koizumi was silent for a moment: "Okay... that's it. If you keep acting like this, I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown first."

Sakurai laughed and said, "That's not enough? Aren't you still planning on performing in front of Karasuma Renya?"

"I don't need to act like a child in front of Karasuma Renya. I'll just stay true to myself. Oh, pretending to be a child is enough for just this once!"

"Hehe, if there is a first time, there will be a second time, and if there is a second time, there will be..."

"Ahhh, please shut up!"

------

"Little sister, where are your family? Can your uncle take you to find them?"

Koizumi looked speechlessly at the small, rat-looking man in front of him.

Being targeted by these five guys is not without its benefits. At least Xiao Shu gets along well with them. So far, the laptop prepared for him is still in the bag and has never been taken out.

Unexpectedly, these guys, including Matsuda, were all good at looking after children and they managed to free her.

But the trouble was, she herself was also within the five-man defense area and was also under surveillance.

After dinner, Koizumi was so bored that he finally found a chance to relax, but...

Did she encounter human traffickers?

This is not good. After becoming a child, her fighting ability has also deteriorated. She cannot turn into a cat and escape in front of everyone.

Tsk, trouble.

Koizumi glanced at the storage space.

Sakurai gave her three options: a pistol, a razor blade, or anesthesia.

Seeing the other party reaching out to grab her, Koizumi secretly held the blade in her palm.

Okay, then...

"Hey, what are you going to do to my sister!"

A figure suddenly blocked her way. Fūya Rei opened his arms to protect her and shouted at the other person.

The little man was not giving up. He rolled his eyes and sneered slyly, "Sister? You don't look like her at all. Stop meddling in other people's business and get out of here!"

Koizumi: ...

He put away the blade, reached out and grabbed the corner of Furuya Rei's clothes and called out, "Brother."

Furiya Rei looked down at her and held her hand tightly in his.

Koizumi shook involuntarily, but did not break free.

The short man made a "tsk" sound and was about to say something when he was suddenly pressed down on the shoulder by a large hand from behind.

"Hey, what are you going to do to my companion?"

The extremely oppressive heights of both Furuya Rei and Date Kou put a lot of pressure on the man. With one person, he might still have a chance, but with two...

"……unlucky!"

The man shook off Ida Hang's hand and walked away cursing.

After watching this guy blend into the crowd and run away, Date Kou looked at Furuya Rei and said, "Rei, are you okay?"

Natalie, who was squatting in front of Koizumi, also asked with a worried look on her face: "Kyoko, are you okay?"

"fine."

Koizumi and Furugaya Rei said in unison and were both stunned.

Furutani Rei looked down at Koizumi, who turned his head away indifferently.

Yi Dahang looked at the two of them and smiled, "I'm glad you're okay. Where are you planning to go?"

Furugaya Rei said nothing and continued to look down at Koizumi.

Koizumi: ...

Seeing that the three were waiting for her reply very patiently, she had no choice but to say, "Let's go to the shrine."

Ida Hang smiled and said, "Natalie and I just came back from there. It looks like the New Year's Festival in two days will be quite large and should be very lively. If you want to go, then let's go and take a look together?"

Just as Koizumi was about to refuse, he heard Xiaoshu's voice from behind: "Kyoko! Kyoko!"

Turning around, Xiao Hongshu ran towards her anxiously, followed by three others...

Xiao Hongshu ran up to her and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Kyoko, we couldn't find you anywhere just now, we were so scared! Why did you run out by yourself? You clearly said not to act alone!"

【us……】

You've integrated very well.

She has been playing with Hongshu for a long time using her child-sized body. Could it be that the little guy really thinks of her as someone of the same age?

But now, Koizumi can only bow his head and apologize: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Yi Dahang reached out and rubbed Xiaohong's tree head: "Haha, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. With us here, she will be fine!"

He bent down, lifted Xiao Hongshu and put him on his shoulders: "Now that everyone is here, let's go for a walk together."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the shrine.

Seeing that Xiao Hongshu frequently turned his head to look at her, Xiaoquan had no choice but to follow him.

Hey, how can I find a chance to shake off this hand without making any noise...
