"Wait! Please wait!"

Just when I was about to walk away, those two people really came to strike up a conversation.

I turned around and looked at them in bewilderment.

They also seemed a little embarrassed, especially the dark-skinned boy, who kept looking at the kid wearing glasses, as if the young boy was the leader of the action.

The boy wearing black-rimmed glasses looked up at me, pointed at the shrunken Ah Zheng innocently and asked, "Big sister, why doesn't his clothes fit you well?"

——Will a normal person pay attention to this, and suddenly come to ask this kind of question?I'm a little skeptical.

But I am still very calm.

I tilted my head and asked strangely: "Children are just messing around in adult clothes. It should have nothing to do with you, right?"

The boy paused for a moment, with disbelief evident on his face.But he went on to ask:

"Then what is your relationship with him, sister?"

hiss--

Is it possible that this child regards me as a kidnapper?

How could this be so, a young and beautiful girl like me is a good person no matter how you look at it?

"This is my friend's younger brother." Although my heart was full of complaints, I replied calmly on the surface.

Ah Zheng also looked at them with his head, as if he realized that the current state of being blocked by two people was a bit wrong. He tugged at my clothes and cooperated with my performance obediently: "Aren't you going, sister? Brother? Waiting for us."

I:"……!"

This "sister" call is really a bit too sweet. Is the little boy really a treasure in the world? !Long live it!

Of course, when the other little boy in front of me called my sister, I didn't feel cute, but felt that he was a little "pretentious", as if he was pretending to be acting?

To be honest, it shouldn't be, obviously he is also a cute little boy, but no matter how I look at it, I feel a strange sense of disobedience.

The boy whom I had labeled strangely in my heart asked again:

"Then sister, have you seen around... that kind of bad guy who looks dangerous in black clothes..."

"No." I answered simply and neatly.

Of course I also noticed that when he said "the man in black", the boy wearing glasses stared at Ah Zheng's face intentionally, as if he wanted to observe any changes in his expression.

But Ah Zheng has never seen any man in black, so obviously, he can only look at him puzzled.

This time, the boy with glasses also showed a confused expression.

And I looked at him, blinked, and suddenly reacted!I finally remembered why I thought he looked familiar. It turned out that he looked a lot like Kudo Shinichi!

So, this time it was my question: "Speaking of which, little brother...you look familiar, no wonder, you look a lot like Kudo-kun..."

"...Eh?!" I don't know why, when I mentioned the surname "Kudou", the expression of the boy with glasses suddenly became guilty, and he said in a panic, "Sister, sister, do you know brother Shinichi too?" ? Actually, I’m his distant relative—my name is Edogawa Conan.”

There are too many slots, and I couldn't help complaining: "Your name is really amazing... Are you a detective and mystery novelist? It's rare to have the surname Edogawa, why don't you just call it Edogawa Ranpo?" ..."

Hearing this, Edogawa Conan's expression stiffened a bit, he rubbed the back of his head, and laughed dryly.

"I hate it, sister, what are you kidding, actually my parents like Edogawa Ranpo and Conan Doyle very much, and then gave me such a name..."

"Is that so? Japan and Britain are perfect together. You are really amazing. I wish you can live up to your name and become a famous detective or a great mystery novelist." I nodded, although I was suspicious, but I didn't want to continue chatting with him. Go down, "Since there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Edogawa Conan looked at me and hesitated to speak, but he didn't continue to say anything or stop me.

After getting into the taxi, I sent Suzuki Sonoko a message, asking her if she knew a kid named Edogawa Conan.

Suzuki Sonoko on the opposite side quickly replied to my message.

[Eh?Mingyin, did you actually see that little devil?How could he be in Kyoto! ]

I replied: [I just met outside the shrine.Walking with a dark-skinned boy who looked about our age. ]

Sonoko: [? ? ?Ok!That stinky brat!Actually ran to find Hattori by himself?I went to talk to Xiaolan—oh, Conan is a relative of Kudo, and he is currently staying at Xiaolan's house. ]

I rubbed my chin, lost in thought.

I don't think something is right.

Conan Edogawa and Shinichi Kudo are similar in appearance to the same degree that the smaller Azheng and the grown-up Azheng around me are similar. Normally speaking, distant relatives are basically possible. ——It’s more like a brother.

Well, although according to the degree of magic in this world, it is very common for people without relatives to bump into faces.

However, even if the issue of similar looks is not considered.

Conan Edogawa's shock when he saw Ah Zheng...why?Logically speaking, Conan doesn't know Ah Zheng at all, right?

In addition, Kudo Shinichi did not appear at the same time as Edogawa Conan. According to Sonoko and Xiaolan, Kudo Shinichi is always "disappearing", while Conan is staying at Xiaolan's house.

A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind like lightning.

Could it be that Kudo Shinichi has also become smaller?Edogawa Conan is Kudo Shinichi, right? !

This speculation is too reasonable!

That's why he was so shocked when he saw Ah Zheng.Because the Azheng he saw at Kiyomizu Temple as Kudo Shinichi just now was a normal Azheng, and now Azheng has become a child.He must have felt that Ah Zheng had encountered the same thing as him.

He retained all the memories, and his simple body became smaller.

Is it also the monster who made Kudo Shinichi smaller?No—he just asked us if we saw the villain in black, why did he think of this, could it be that the villain in black made him smaller?

Those who wear black clothes are usually characters like the mafia in the other world in animation.This type of character should be designed in a darker way, and it may involve human experiments and other stalks. ——so what experiment or medicine did the man in black use to make him smaller?

It should be medicine, he should have a temporary antidote, otherwise he wouldn’t turn back to Kudo Shinichi during the school trip, and the smoke coming out of his body when he was about to kiss Xiaolan was the special effect of the transformation, so Only then left in a hurry——

Hmm... In order to track down these men in black, he had to hide his identity and live with his childhood sweetheart?

The name Edogawa Conan can't really be improvised from detective novels, right? !That's why he looked embarrassed when I complained?

Circle is back... oh my.This is the main line of the manga with Kudo Shinichi as the main character.I seem to know some great secret.

However, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me.

After all, Kudo Shinichi is just a new acquaintance. The man in black sounds very dangerous. I am not interested in inquiring too much, and there is no direct evidence to prove that Edogawa Conan is Kudo Shinichi. These are just my unique perspective. guesswork.I also don't need to debunk the secret of his identity that he wants to hide.

So, soon, I stopped thinking about it.

……

The focus of my attention is still on my smaller cub.

I took him back home.

Akashi's family has a separate house in Kyoto, but he lives alone when he comes to school here, and he doesn't have a servant there, so it doesn't matter if it becomes the current situation, anyway, there are only two of us at home.

Just wait for him to change back to his original form.

But I still think it's a little subtle.

It happened so suddenly, I don't know how to treat children——

Akashi Seijuro has really become a child now, even if he is more mature than ordinary children, he can't be treated like his peers, right?

Quickly recall, in my childhood memory, what did Ah Zheng of this age do on a daily basis... It seems to be, study, study, and constantly learn all kinds of...?

It's so miserable——

I covered my face in confusion.

Suddenly, I regretted it a bit, why did I go home so soon, I should have taken him to the amusement park just now.

Seeing that I was in an inexplicable tangle, the young Ah Zheng tugged at the corner of my clothes, raised his head and looked at me suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly don't know what to do, is there anything Ah Zheng wants to do now?"

"It's okay to do nothing."

"Eh? Is it okay?"

"Yeah. It's okay, as long as you're with Mingyin, you can do whatever you want."

Me: "..." Why are you a straight ball monster even when you become a child!

"Did Ming Yin hang out with me before?" He asked, "This is Kyoto, right?"

"Yeah." I nodded, "Because you go to high school here, I came to visit you during the holidays."

"Really." Ah Zheng looked at me, blinked, and lowered his eyes again, "High school, have I separated from Mingyin?"

"……Um."

Facing those innocent eyes with a little bit of disappointment, I replied with some hesitation.

What to do, I suddenly feel a little pain in my conscience, although I don't know why it hurts!hateful!This is outrageous!

"Will Ah Zheng want to be with me forever..."

"Yeah." He nodded affirmatively, and added a very obedient, "...if it's possible. After all, I can't cause trouble for Mingyin."

I cover my face again.

Help, what to do.I still underestimated Zhengtai's lethality.

"Speaking of it." I suddenly thought of things that I could do now and he would be interested in, "Ah Zheng, are you going to play basketball?"

He froze, "Can I?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing to do now, and there's a basketball court in the courtyard... The most important thing is that your father isn't here, so you can play however you want! But let's change your clothes first, I bought clothes for you when I passed by the mall just now ...playing basketball in this outfit is sure to trip you up."

After thinking about it, I added, "But you have to change into normal clothes before going to bed, otherwise you don't know when you will suddenly change back, and your clothes will probably be stretched."

The red-haired boy nodded, and before he ran to change his clothes, he suddenly bent his eyes and smiled: "Mingyin is like a worried mother now."

I:"?"

outrageous.

Is this a turn of events?Are you sure you didn't call you an "old lady" when you grew up before taking revenge on me? !

However, I can't get angry at all with the cute little child.Just treat it as childish nonsense!

He found Ah Zheng's basketball and took him to the basketball court that came with him at home.

I don't want to play basketball, and I don't know how to play basketball. Naturally, I just sit on the side and quietly watch him play basketball alone.

He keeps shooting and doing repetitive movements without getting bored. The young red-haired boy stares at the basket with a focused and serious expression.

After growing up, Akashi Seijuro's superb golf skills... Even if he has a strong talent, but to be able to do so well, he has put in a lot more effort than ordinary people and accumulated little by little.

The most terrifying thing is the genius who works hard.

Akashi Seijuro is such a person.

Azheng in this age group has just started learning basketball not long ago. If you recall, I used to watch him practice shooting like this in the past.

Aunt Shiori and I just sat in the stands and watched, and the red-haired woman next to me would smile and applaud gently for his every success.

And the boy playing basketball would turn around and smile at us.

At those times, he showed a sincere and bright smile, and his beautiful red eyes were bright. At that time, he really liked basketball and was simply happy.

The picture in front of him is the same as before.

But I haven't seen Ah Zheng smile like this when playing basketball for a long time.

… Now, what is the game of basketball to him?

After recovering from the memory, I also praised the boy who was satisfied with the game and ran to me with a basketball in his hand.

"Ah Zheng is amazing!" I applauded, raised my hand and rubbed the top of his hair, the hair touching my palm was very soft and felt good, so I couldn't help but rub it more.

He didn't mind, just smiled at me again, the corners of his mouth were curved, and his red pupils were as clear and bright as jewels.

what.

I'm in a daze.

Although this development is really bizarre.

...But it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

After all, being cute is justice!
