invisible signal

Something is missing for my own childhood.Harmonious family environment, good education, extensive and decent social relations, and a group of like-minded playmates - it can be called an ideal and perfect childhood, almost like a fairy tale.Kudo, who grew up under such a background, seems to have been destined to go on without obstacles with the aura of a winner in life since he was born.But reality is not perfect everywhere.

As long as time is passing and communication between people continues, it is inevitable to come into contact with the world outside everyone's life circle.

"Tomorrow the children of the Pirates family will come to play." Seeing his son excitedly getting the badge he just got, Yusaku Kudo couldn't help but sigh that children still have to look like children, "You have to treat him well." Oh he."

"Who is that?" Seven-year-old Kudo was looking at the small badge on his fingertips.

"It's a child of a friend's family, so get along well."

"Yes—" There was a little reluctance in the drawn-out ending.Children are always like this, they always cherish the friends they have found, but they are not friendly to the "children of other people" or "children of friends" that adults talk about.However, this unfriendliness will not last long.After meeting the so-called "friend's child", the young Kudo completely put that reluctance behind him.

"Join the Boys Detective Team!" Just as the detective team at that time was in the stage of development and growth, Kudo never let go of any opportunity to recruit new members.After getting acquainted with the boy from Kuroba's family, he lost no time in showing him the badge of the detective team that made the nearby children jealous for a long time, "You will definitely like it!"

The boy in front of him looks very well-behaved, he doesn't look like a character that will affect his status as the leader in the future, and he will definitely become a trustworthy companion in the future.In the bottom of his heart, he agreed with his vision of seeing people, and Kudo waited for the answer.

"Boy detective team?" I don't know if Kudo's rhetoric is too deceptive, or the high-end badge is too alluring, like the other kids, Kaito Kuroba's eyes lit up immediately. "Sounds amazing!"

Without extra hesitation, he also became a member of the Detective Boys, and soon became friends with other children.

Comparing and competing is a kind of biological instinct, and this instinct is especially evident in children who seem to have no utilitarianism.Within days of Kuroba joining the detective team, Kudo began to regret his decision.

Was that guy's previous obedience just pretending... Compared to Kudo, who likes to put on a leadership posture and give orders, Kuroba seems to be better at using tricks like magic to win over his relationship with other members.At this age with a strong interest in novelty, a new partner who can do magic is obviously much more interesting than a group leader who always pretends to be an adult.What's more, in the "task" they performed together, the newly joined Hei Yu always disobeyed orders, but was able to do things that others could not think of, which also made other children have to look at him with admiration.

It was a joy to have such a capable member in the team, but at this most harmonious juncture, Kudo felt that his position as team leader was in jeopardy.However, chaotically, Kuroba Kaito always seems to act according to his own ideas to the maximum extent, but never crosses the line that he should not touch.

Disappointed, but there is no way to blame.This situation made Kudo feel very difficult, and his excellent habits did not allow him to win this competition by unfair means.

"As long as you can beat him." He thought in his heart.

Therefore, in the following activities, Kudo thought more hard about the tasks with executive power, and formulated one very interesting action plan after another.Although in retrospect it was only the level of family wine, but in the eyes of the children at that time, it was already a "game" beyond their age.

But games are just games after all.Kudo, who soon had enough of playing, gradually began to lose the sense of accomplishment from these childish games.The books on my father's bookshelf, as well as the cases encountered in reality, are more real than games, and also more out of reach than games.

That's what he really wanted to pursue.

After the Boy Detective Group was disbanded, the original members still maintained normal contact.Although they no longer act together as a "team", the normal "socialization" required as friends continues.However, after that, Kudo never saw Kaito Kuroba again.None of the children mentioned him, and he never came to play and laugh with everyone on weekends.

Obviously, the winner has not yet been decided... Although the so-called victory was only determined by Kudo himself, the unachieved goal made him depressed for quite a long time.

Children's attention is easily diverted and their forgetfulness is great.A companion who suddenly disappears will be easily forgotten in a short period of time, and some pleasant memories will also be temporarily sealed due to force majeure.

But habits persist.

In the following personal practice of "working hard to become a detective", Kudo has been looking for opponents consciously or unconsciously.Although the goal of "becoming a detective" does not require him to win anything, he still habitually weighs whether he has won this invisible competition in his heart.

The world surrounded by ordinary people always lacks challenges, and one or two cases can only bring about a short wave of thinking.The world outside of this is so poor that there are no waves, so tasteless that it is useless.

Kudo Shinichi is still looking for an "opponent" without giving up.

Until that day, the figure of the white monster thief appeared in the detective's field of vision.

He felt that his long-standing obsessions had been released, and his long-term search without a goal finally had a definite direction.

Perhaps one of the most important parts of Kuroba's few pleasant memories is the days when he acted with his companions in the Detective Boys.But a major change in life is like a terrible crack with a tricky trend and unfathomable depth, cutting off life abruptly.

He finds that he cannot go back in time, nor can he move forward for a considerable period of time.

The badge in the palm of his hand was painful, but he was unwilling to let go, as if he could hold on to that memory in this way.But the badge is just silent, and there will be no more sounds.

He tried speaking to the badge, but no one responded to his voice.

"Can anyone hear me?"

"Hello?"

After repeated fruitless attempts, he realized that if he didn't go out, no one would ever hear his voice.After that, people around him thought that the silent Hei Yu had completely walked out of the haze, but Hei Yu knew that some things could only be buried in memories.

If you don't come out, if you don't speak, you won't get a response.

Don't want to be forgotten.

Don't want to be forgotten.

Even in the eyes of most people, he has returned to his daily life, but those with a discerning eye can see that this cheerfulness, which is no different from the past, is just an illusion.When there is no one around, Hei Yu always sits alone in a quiet corner, touching the badge with his fingertips that he is used to carrying around without knowing when, and meditating silently in his heart.

Now, can anyone hear me?

After such a long time, he knew very well that the possibility of getting a response again was very slim, but he still habitually carried the badge on him at all times.

He never thought that one day in the future, he would be rescued by this seemingly meaningless little habit.

The detectives tracked down the opponent, and the Kaitou's voice finally answered.

The rusted gears moved closer to each other with difficulty, and then turned again.

A childhood without missing things may not exist, and people's actions are also involved in these long-standing shortcomings day after day, moving forward passively and unconsciously.All this is not completely unreasonable.

It's just for a future without regrets.

Come with an omake (laughs)

Omake1 video call

Kuroba: Hey, Detective, has the badge with the video call function that I told you about last time been developed yet?

Kudo: The doctor said that the requirements for the model are too high, and it can be solved directly with a mobile phone.

Kuroba: ...That's right.

The Truth About Omake2 Calling

Young Kudo: According to age, I am older than you, so you should call me Nissan!

Young Black Feather: Why!Obviously it was only a little bit short!

Young Kudo: Should it be called "Kudo Nissan"?

Young Kuroba: ... Kudo-san!Satisfied!

Young Kudo: It's "Nissan"!

It's better to call the captain (laughs)
