Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Yuko Kishida made a little calculation in her mind, nodded and smiled: "Well, I am best at playing with children."

She took two steps forward and walked to the side of the child hiding behind Hagiwara Kenji's legs. She bent down, acted friendly, and reached out to touch her head: "Hello, little friend."

However, when she had only stretched out half of her hand, the other party waved it away.

The child glanced at her coldly, turned his head away, and slowly took a step back, his rejection evident in his attitude.

"Kyoko, are you okay?"

Xiaolan and Sonoko immediately stepped forward, comforting their new friend while glaring at Kishida Yuko with dissatisfaction.

Yuko Kishida didn't expect that the little girl was so strong. The hit just now actually hurt her a little!

Moreover, she was a high school student, and just at that moment, she was actually scared away by the look of an elementary school student?

"Yuuko, that's so rude!"

Mrs. Kishida frowned slightly, walked over to pull her daughter back to her side, and whispered to her, "Don't touch a stranger's head casually. This is very impolite."

After saying that, he bowed to Hagiwara Kenji and said, "I'm sorry for scaring the child. I will educate Yuko well."

Kishida Fumino also bowed solemnly and said, "I'm sorry, Hagiwara-san, for causing you trouble."

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said, "No, it's nothing. Kishida-san, you are too polite. There is no need to be like this. This is just a matter between children."

Kenji Hagiwara's original intention was to use the children as an excuse to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the situation.

But he didn't expect that Kishida Fumino thought about it and nodded seriously: "Yes, Hagiwara-san, you are right."

He turned to Sonoko, Xiaolan and Kudo Shinichi and said in a serious and sincere manner: "Kids, I'm sorry to have frightened your friends. Yuko didn't mean it, please forgive me."

The three little ones were a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, the other parent would take the initiative to admit their mistake and quickly return the gift.

After this was over, Kishida Fumino said sternly: "Yuko, go apologize to that kid."

There was an expression of obvious reluctance on Yuko Kishida's face.

But her father had demonstrated it himself, so she had no choice but to follow suit.

So, Kishida Yuko could only grit her teeth and said to Kyoko: "I'm sorry for scaring you just now."

Logically speaking, Kyoko should be like the three little ones and at least be polite to the other party.

But unexpectedly, she didn't return the greeting or respond. Instead, she grabbed the hem of Kenji Hagiwara's clothes, leaned on his legs, hid her face, and pretended that she couldn't see or hear anything.

Hagiwara Kenji looked back, reached out and touched Kyoko's head, but the people from the Kishida family smiled helplessly and explained, "I'm sorry, this child is still young and very shy."

Kishida Fumino waved his hands hastily: "No, no, it's okay. We were the ones who were rude first. Now that everything is fine, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he very tactfully took his wife and children to find a place to sit in the other corner of the cat cafe.

Not until the smell of alcohol mixed with citrus, bamboo leaves and mint faded away did Koizumi carefully stick half of his head out from behind Hagiwara Kenji and glanced in the direction of the Kishida family with a serious expression.

it's him!

A senior undercover agent placed by the organization in the Metropolitan Police Department, originally a member of Rum's team, Sake!

In the original novel, he was the culprit who stole the undercover list of the Neon Public Security Bureau, causing Zhu Fujingguang's undercover identity to be exposed!

it's him!

Looking at the current state of Japanese sake, it is no wonder that Kenji Hagihara has never been able to achieve anything.

This guy is so steady that he is very picky!

If it weren't for his God of Cookery skills, based on his impression alone, Koizumi would have thought that Officer Kishida was a decent, old-fashioned, good-natured man.

Haha, he is indeed a difficult guy.

However, Japanese sake would actually take the initiative to enter the defense range of her Merlot?

This was obviously a risky move, inconsistent with the caution he usually displayed.

Did that gentleman give him any instructions related to himself?

At the same time, Kenji Hagiwara was also feeling a little heavy.

Some time ago, Fumino Kishida had been using his work as an excuse to get in touch with him. Why did he suddenly change his pace and take the initiative to come to him?

What is his purpose?

Also, who was he targeting?

Me? Or Sakurai?

...Or, is it Kyoko?

Something is wrong...

Sakurai entrusted the child to their care because he trusted them, and Kyoko must not be exposed to the sight of the organization members!

Fortunately, Kyoko responded quickly and did not expose herself in front of Kishida.

Since this man will be in the store for a while, he should take the child out and hide for a while.

Kenji Hagiwara's eyes swept over the three little ones beside him.

It’s just right. I can use these three to cover for Kyoko.

Thinking of this, Hagiwara Kenji immediately said to Sonoko, Ran, and Kudo: "I plan to take Kyoko to the aquarium today. Do you want to come with us?"

The three who had always been very enthusiastic about hanging out together didn't respond immediately.

Xiaolan asked hesitantly, "Kyoko, are you really nine years old?"

Sonoko's eyes were full of doubts: "At nine years old...will she be too clingy to Hagiwara-san?"

Koizumi: ...

She also knew that her reaction of pretending to be ignorant was really too childish.

But there is no way.

She didn't know how familiar Nihonsaku was with her identity, Sakurai, and she didn't dare to reveal her appearance and voice easily.

Even if she was planning to bring Kyoko out into the open, she didn't intend to reveal her true identity.

What if the other party sees through it immediately?

So she had to act like a child and be pretentious.

It is probably understandable that Kenji Hagiwara knew that Kyoko needed to hide her identity.

But the three little ones here...

Before Koizumi could figure out how to explain this, he heard Kudo Shinichi speak.

“I told you that Kyoko was lying!

"Xiaolan, Yuanzi, you haven't reacted yet? Didn't she just lie to us about the Garrytown University?

"In my opinion, nine years old is a lie. She is just pretending to be an adult. Who would actively emphasize their age when no one asks? I think her actual age is definitely no more than five years old!"

Sonoko and Xiaolan looked at Koizumi.

"Kyoko, is this really the case?"

"Kyoko, how old are you?"

Koizumi: ...

Well, this explanation does make sense. But...

It's already difficult for her to pretend to be a child, and you want her to continue to grow backwards?

Especially, how should she deal with Sonoko and Xiaolan's attitude towards her?

Seeing the tangled expression on Kyoko's face, Hagiwara Kenji squatted down beside her, poked her soft and tender cheek with his hand, and said with a wicked smile: "Oh, we're about to be exposed. What should I do, little Kyoko?"

Kenji Hagiwara's words simply confirmed Kudo Shinichi's guess.

Little Kudo shouted proudly, "Ha! I knew it!"

Sonoko:......

He rushed over and hugged Koizumi, rubbing his face against her head again and again: "Pretending to be an adult or something, Kyoko-chan is so adorable!"

Xiaolan also came over with a smile and hugged him: "Yeah, it's the cutest!"

Koizumi: ...

I don't want to admit that this is the reason!

Hagiwara Kenji looked at her with a smile: "How about it, Kyoko, do you need a hug?"

(Do you want me to rescue you?)

Koizumi stared at Hagiwara fiercely.

(You are taking advantage of the situation!)

Kenji Hagiwara smiled and stretched out his hand.

(So ​​do you want me to rescue you?)

Just then, Zhu Fu Jingguang walked up to a few people.

He had taken off his apron and changed into casual clothes: "Let's go when you are ready."

"Hey, Midorikawa-san is coming too? Don't you need to watch the store?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled: "After all, I am Kyoko's guardian."

Koizumi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately left Hagiwara Kenji and threw himself into Morobushi Keimitsu's arms.

It's better than being rubbed against by two girls all the time.

It was so horrible, she felt like she was about to become brittle!
