[Detective Conan] If the Yuanshan family gave birth to a boy

71.

Do people rule the brain or do the brain rule people?If it is the former, then who controls the dream?If it is the latter, why do people sometimes clearly realize that they are dreaming in their dreams, but sometimes not?

People are always trying to figure out how the brain works, but at the same time "figuring out" this behavior is also part of the brain's operation.It's as if no matter how strong a man is, he can never lift himself up.Does it mean that there is no absolutely perfect explanation for this problem?

Rin Toyama has thought about this question many times, and sometimes Hattori Heiji will give him part of the popular science. ——Because Toyama Rin often has dreams, especially nightmares.However, many times when he was awakened by a nightmare and fell asleep again, the next morning he would forget what he dreamed about last night, and he could only vaguely remember that it was not a good dream.

Toyama Kaji's working hours are not as fixed as Ginshiro's, so she sometimes stays up late before going to bed, so she often bumps into Toyama Rin who has a nightmare and goes downstairs to pour water to drink.Probably in order to make his son sleep more peacefully, Meiji milk is often placed in the refrigerator of Toyama's house. If Rin really can't sleep, he will go downstairs to warm a cup and go to bed after drinking it.

The effect of sleeping with hot milk is very good.

Although Rin Toyama seldom drinks milk to help him fall asleep, but as a "comer", after today's incident, he still took a small box when shopping, not for himself, but for him. Flat times. ——He felt that his friend seemed to need comforting more than he did.

On the other side of the shelf, the big detective was swinging between fried dumplings and fried noodles. ——He was holding the fried dumplings in his right hand, but his eyes were looking at the fried noodles on the shelf, looking very tangled.

With a "dong", the boy threw the milk carton into the basket in Heiji's left hand.

"Do you want to eat something?" Toyama Rin put away his mobile phone.It's eleven twenty at night. ——It has been more than 50 minutes since Heiji "rescued" him from the grocery store.At that time, after confirming that he was fine, Heiji took him into an amusement park, helped the police to complete the record and described "the process of kidnapping him by Kaitou Kidd".So they didn't catch the last run of Supersnake, and even missed the float before the park closed.When leaving the park, Hattori Heiji kept yelling that he was hungry, so they said goodbye to Conan's group who had to rush back to Tokyo overnight, and went to a convenience store near the hotel to buy food.

"Fried dumplings or fried noodles?" Hattori Heiji turned his head and asked Rin Toyama.

"...I'm not hungry, so you can take whatever you want."

"Huh?! You haven't eaten all day and aren't you hungry?!" Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows, looking suspicious.

The young man's breath stagnated, and he scratched the end of his hair with a guilty conscience.

"Cough, I don't know... probably too hungry."

"That won't work, I'll get some more."

Then the two of them carried the largest bag in the convenience store and went back to the room bulging.

Rin Toyama actually ate a self-service meal in the amusement park after [-] o'clock in the evening, but because of "kidnapped by Kidd, he was not the one who ate at that time", he had to admit that he hadn't eaten all day, and now he I had to eat a whole bento under the stern gaze of Hattori Heiji, and I was afraid that I would bend down and spit out the contents of my stomach when picking up the garbage.

Damn, I'm exhausted.

For the first time in his life, Toyama Rin realized what it was like to stretch until his stomach hurts.

The boy lay on his side on the bed so uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep and dared not move, after all Hattori Heiji was lying next to him.His boyfriend is not as unshakable as he is when he falls asleep. If he turns over or scratches the phone screen to make some movement, he will wake up immediately.

This room is a standard room with two single beds, originally Hattori Heiji would not come to his bed.However, that guy spilled it on the bed with a shaking hand while drinking milk, so now he can only squeeze with him. ——Rin suspects that the big detective did it on purpose, but he has no evidence, and it is impossible to drive Heiji to another bed to sleep.

It's almost two o'clock in the morning now. ——Rin Toyama was thinking.I couldn't hear anything except the steady breathing in my ears, and it was so quiet.

The moonlight outside was reflected on the floor and walls through the gap between the curtains. It was silvery white, but not so bright, as if it was covered with a thin layer of gauze.Toyama Rin stared at the light for a long time, until Heiji behind him turned over to face him, with his arms raised around his waist.

The boy couldn't turn around to see if his boyfriend was awake, because Hattori Heiji was sticking it tightly, his chest was against his back, the tip of his nose was against the back of his neck, and his steady breath fell on the skin along the gentle path of his neck. The lines flowed, brushing over the bleeding wound from the bite not long ago.

[I must be overthinking, this guy is sleeping soundly. 】

Rin Toyama thought, rubbed his stomach, kept lying on his side and curled up his limbs. ——It's better that way.After a while, when Pingxi sleeps a little more deeply, he will get up and go outside, otherwise he will not be able to digest it for a while if he lies motionless.

However, in the next second, the arm around his waist moved to circle him, and the palm of his hand consciously reached towards his stomach.

"Does it hurt? Do you want me to buy medicine for you?" Hattori Heiji's voice came from behind, and it didn't sound like he just woke up.

"...you haven't fallen asleep for so long?"

The big detective responded, opened his friend's clothes with his fingers, reached in and touched his stomach seriously, then got up and turned on the desk lamp, as if he was about to put on his clothes and go out to buy medicine, but Rin Toyama grabbed his wrist and pulled him away. return.

The boy's movements were quick, and Hattori Heiji couldn't grasp his balance for a while, and was dragged staggeringly.Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and propped his right hand against the edge of the bed, thus avoiding the tragedy of his nose directly hitting the opponent's collarbone.

"It's okay, I just ate a little too much." Toyama Rin scratched the tip of his nose, and quickly explained before Hattori Heiji complained, "It's too late, you don't have to run."

"really?"

"Well, I'm full."

……

……

……

Hattori Heiji's eyes were bent like crescent moons, revealing his two small canine teeth.

"...Fuck, Hattori Heiji!!!"

"You said it yourself, not me."

Rin Toyama wanted to rub Heiji's head, but the other party saw through the routine in an instant, and his hands were restrained, unable to move.The boy raised his eyebrows to show his dissatisfaction, but Heiji pretended not to notice, grabbed his friend's wrist and pushed him down, pinning him on the bed.

What is this for?

Toyama Rin froze for a moment. ——It seems that since the typhoon day, he and Heiji have never had any more intimate contact than kissing.One is because there is no time, the second is because there is no condition, and the third is because the next morning Rin Toyama started to have a fever after waking up, which made Hattori Heiji not sure whether his friend was blown on the air conditioner and got cold or the wound of Shen was not After dealing with it well, I have never dared to think otherwise.But Toyama Rin unilaterally didn't think about this kind of thing, he was very busy during that time.The school-level music troupe was going to present a program on behalf of the reform party. He was arrested as a young man, and then happened to meet the promotion of aikido and the final exam.Even Hattori Heiji only sees his friends on the way to school and in class, and if he doesn't pay attention, he is taken away for training, so there is no time for dating.

So... now it's not what I thought, right?

The young man raised his chin, looked at the big detective on the top of his head and restrained his smile, his Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, his eyes were a little evasive, as if hesitating for something.

Oh?Have something to say?

Rin Toyama knew Hattori Heiji's habits all too well. —He is not in a hurry.He has always been patient with Heiji.

"cold."

"Ah."

"Do you think...that my being a detective will trouble you?"

bothered?

"meeting."

Hearing this expected answer, Hattori Heiji lowered his eyelids, looking a little frustrated.

"As soon as I encounter a case, I will let me go. I have been unhappy with this for a long time." Toyama Rin withdrew his hand, resting his head on his arm, and looked at his friend's expression with interest, feeling that bullying Heiji seemed more important than bullying Heiji. Playing with mobile phones is also interesting, "You count, how many times have you done it? What's even more exaggerated is that once you solved a case, you went home by yourself, and when you got home, you didn't realize that I was with you. ——Hi, I You don’t know the way! You left me there and came back by yourself!”

"This is all about junior high..." Hattori Heiji moved uneasily, looking like he wanted to shrink himself.

"What does this have to do with middle school and high school? Do you think you did it?"

The famous detective in Kansai did not refute, but just quietly listened to Toyama Rin complaining about a lot of things about letting him go because of reasoning in those years, and then bent down and hugged him.

Because of this action, Toyama Rin stopped talking. ——He buried his fingertips into Hattori Heiji's hair, and gently rubbed it.

Heiji let out a vague "hmm", and was silent for a few seconds before raising his head and continuing to ask, "Apart from these?"

Rin Toyama didn't speak.He didn't know what kind of reply Hattori Heiji was expecting. ——Perhaps besides being released as pigeons, there is also the matter of Heiji often chasing criminals and getting injured all over his body.But there is no way... That guy is absolutely impossible to stand by.

"Like what?" the boy asked.

"...Someone will definitely look at me." After a long time, Hattori Heiji said slowly, "Or just like this time, I met a client like Ito Suehiko... because of your relationship with me At best, it will—"

"I'm not worried about this kind of thing. After staying with you for a long time, I always feel that there is nothing you can't do in the world. ——Aren't you a great detective?"

"Detectives are not everything."

"Where do I encounter so many problems that even detectives can't solve?"

"...This time it's not—"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Toyama Rin interrupted Hattori Heiji and asked decisively.

However, even Heiji himself didn't quite know what he wanted to say, or what kind of answer he wanted to hear from his friends.

【Are you sure you can get out of the way every time? 】

[In other words, can you grasp that the people around you will not be hurt every time... Can you hurt Toyama Rin? 】

[If I were you, I wouldn't be that shitty detective. 】

Heiji used to be very confident. Even when Toyama Rin was taken to Kamazaki and Chijo questioned him like this, he never wavered. ——Because no matter where his friend is, he will find him and bring Rin to a safe place.

But this time, when he learned the news that "the bomb has exploded" from the police, he really felt how cruel the word "powerless" is before his eyes.

If Kaitou Kidd is not involved in this matter.If the person who jumped down at that time was Toyama Rin.If the tragedy really happens, when he thinks of his first love in the future, and thinks of the last time he got along with the other party, the fact is that he caused Rin Toyama to be covered with a bomb and wait alone in the amusement park.

How could it be possible to go to an amusement park without a companion?

What would the teenager think if he saw those people gathering in twos and threes around him?Did you scold him hundreds of times in your heart?

But Toyama Rin will always be the Toyama Rin he knows.

His good friend has always been tolerant, and never lacks the courage to bear everything alone.

Rin should be better. —— Heiji thought. ——If I stop being a detective in the future and become an ordinary high school student, Rin will not be often involved in inexplicable cases...Will he be happier?

If he was really asked to choose between Reasoning and Toyama Rin...

Hattori Heiji thought about this question seriously, even though he knew that giving up reasoning would be like gouging out his flesh, he wanted to try it.

"Rin, I've decided—"

"Are you a deadhead?"

"what?"

Rin Toyama looked up at Hattori Heiji who looked puzzled in front of him, and sighed deeply.

"Don't make such a decision because of me.—Otherwise I would rather part with you."
