The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Ding dong! Ding dong——!"

"Ding dong, ding dong!"

Mao Lilan had a serious expression, looking up at the mansion in front of her from time to time, and her hand was unambiguous in ringing the doorbell.

Her expression was quite calm, but she felt quite panicked when she heard these inflection sounds that couldn't be called crisp at all.

The doorbell of Kudo's house had already broken down and changed its tone as the owner of the house had been away from home for a long time.

Conan has known about this for a long time, but firstly, the house at home is indeed temporarily unusable, and secondly, there is no reason to repair it, so even if the large Kudo comes back temporarily, things that should be broken will naturally still be broken.

And listening to the out-of-tune doorbell... it seemed as if the house was still empty and everything was just a brief dream for her.

"Okay, who is it? It's so noisy!" Before Mao Lilan continued to ring the doorbell, the front door of the house was opened by someone, and Kudo Shinichi stood there with an angry face, "You can hear it if you press it once! "

He stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth, walked over and opened the outermost iron door, and couldn't help but yawned widely.

After several months of regular elementary school life, his current schedule is quite healthy.

But he didn't know if his suddenly transformed body had not been able to adapt to the current metabolic rhythm. He felt that the fatigue was more serious than before.

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi silently glanced at Tang Ze who was two steps behind Mao Lilan and Haibara Ai in disguise.

These two siblings really look like they are watching a good show, and they don’t even bother to pretend...

"Do you know what you are going to school for today?" Mao Lilan adjusted the satchel on her shoulder and took two steps toward the door.

She said this with some temptation.

Yesterday, so many styles of Kudo Shinichi suddenly appeared, and her suspicions greatly increased.

"What else can I do? First, just like last year, clean up and clean up the mess from the school festival..." After flexing his neck a few times, Kudo Shinichi raised his hand, but couldn't find the bow tie or tie he was used to.

Realizing that he was so inappropriately dressed, he froze slightly and immediately swung the door open: "I'm not ready yet, just wait for me!"

Well, it looks like the real deal.

Feeling relaxed a little, Mao Lilan straightened up again and finally had the mood to care about others: "Hey, where are Hattori and Ye, haven't they gotten up yet?"

"It's probably time for them to get ready to go out. They have to go to Cupido Town to find the detective today." Karasawa shrugged and glanced at the ajar door. "Kudo is going to school soon. If they don't leave, the door will be closed." It’s not easy to lock either.”

"You are worrying too much. In this case, Kudo will still consider temporarily giving us an extra set of keys." Hattori Heiji, still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, poked his head out, "But it is indeed time to go out, in case Detective Kusukawa has If you go too late, you won't have time to deal with any important matters."

"I knew I had to get up early, but you two stayed up so late yesterday." After yawning loudly, Yuan Shan and Ye followed out with complaints, "It made me barely sleep well."

"Well, I haven't seen Kudo for a long time, so I just had a little chat." Hattori Heiji felt a little guilty. He scratched his head and said, "Did you go to bed very late? I think you fell asleep yesterday. ”

"I fell asleep just because I heard it, so I didn't sleep well. My arms are so sore..." Toyama and Ye, who felt their shoulders and necks were very stiff, snorted, "You detectives are all the same."

It can't be said that it was rare for him to see Kudo Shinichi in his true form. Hattori Heiji laughed twice in excitement.

Kudo, apart from his questionable taste in reading detective novels, is pretty good!

"Okay, it's time for us to set off. If things go well, we will rush back to Osaka in the evening." Toyama and Ye turned to Mao Lilan, Karasawa and others and nodded politely to explain their itinerary.

Karasawa, who understood what they were about to encounter, but saw Kudo Shinichi coming to school himself and did not dare to blatantly let Hoshikawa Teru jump in his face to beat them, looked on sympathetically at the two unlucky guys who were unaware of their fate.

Hold on, you two, we'll come to get you after school.

"Keep in touch. If you need help with anything, you can call us." Out of good intentions, Tang Ze reminded him.

The only person who responded to him was the back figure of Hattori Heiji who was walking away and waving gracefully.

You look cool now when you act cool, but you look really embarrassed when you have to wait for someone to fish it out later.

After shaking his head at their backs a few times, Karasawa looked at the front entrance of Kudo's house again.

The neatly dressed Kudo Shinichi finally came out. He adjusted his tie and unaccustomedly pulled off the commuting bag on his shoulder.

Elementary school students are used to carrying schoolbags on their shoulders, but they are not used to it when switching to this bag.

He looked at Tang Ze standing on the right, then at Mao Lilan on the other side, and slowly smiled.

This is what he wants to restore, his own life.

"Let's go to school." Kudo Shinichi, who suddenly felt a bit proud, raised his head and raised his feet.

One is going to be exploited, and the other is still going to be exploited. Both of you high school detectives have a bright future.

Shaking his head, Karasawa pulled the silent Haibara Ai and followed Kudo Shinichi's pace.

"Seeing Kudo's normal appearance, do you suddenly feel that Conan is quite cute?" Karasawa lowered his voice and whispered to Haibara Ai.

With a reason to go to school, Haibara Ai, who was finally able to wear a mask-shaped voice changer, pulled off her mask.

Pretending to be inconvenient to speak was too much, and she still didn't want to talk.

But if you really want her to say it, no matter how big or small, they are both pretty stinky, they are indistinguishable.

Walking on the road from 2-chome towards Teidan, Mao Lilan thought of the chaotic scene of the school festival yesterday, and couldn't help but pity: "I don't know which class will be assigned the task of cleaning the auditorium. It's a mess over there, I'm afraid it's not easy to clean. ."

Although the murder case that happened there is clear and can be basically determined, there is still no shortage of evidence collection and white lines that need to be drawn on the ground.

Coupled with the fact that the chairs were scattered all over the place as people came and went, the job must have been difficult.

"It will take a lot of time to dismantle the scenery on the stage." Kudo Shinichi agreed. "It was so rushed yesterday that the carriage was still on the stage. How did Sonoko move so many large props?"

Not to mention their costumes, the two- to three-meter-high fake castles are all expensive custom-made products for amusement parks and must be disassembled and assembled carefully.

"...You are not here, but you know our situation very well?" Mao Lilan tugged on the shoulder strap of the bag and looked sideways at Kudo Shinichi.

Kudo Shinichi's back stiffened.

Oops, I said it without thinking. Kudo Shinichi, who just appeared yesterday, really shouldn’t know the arrangements of the stage play...

Before he could think of how to make up a few words, Mao Lilan gently dropped the subject: "I didn't expect you to come up dressed as a knight in black. It really shocked me. You didn't even memorize a line, so I'm so embarrassed. Go on stage? If you act a little longer, the whole play will become a mess."

"Well..." Kudo Shinichi's eyes wandered.

Since Karasawa, the original choice for the Black Knight, was purely an insider, of course he got the script in advance.

But Suzuki Sonoko, who was unaware of this situation, found out that he had come to replace Karasawa, so she encouraged him to go on stage and directly hug the princess and kiss her. As for the lines, someone would give him hints in the background.

Kudo Shinichi's heart moved shamefully.

He was struggling with how to answer. Mao Lilan, who looked at his face for a while, burst into laughter, as if he understood something, turned his head, changed the topic and said, "So, what do you think of the performance?" ?”

"Eh? Are you talking about drama? I couldn't finish the performance yesterday..." Kudo Shinichi shrugged regretfully.

Even if yesterday's kiss scene didn't work out in the end, it's not a bad thing to be able to hold Xiaolan's hand and look at each other affectionately on stage.

"I mean, um," Mao Lilan embarrassedly stroked her hair beside her ear, "I mean the character of Princess Heart. I don't necessarily know how it is, I just..."

I just want to ask you what you think of my performance in this role...

Not embarrassed to continue talking, Mao Lilan turned her head and looked at her reflection in the shop window she was passing by, feeling that her face was already blushing to an exaggerated level.

The purpose seems too obvious, shouldn't I ask this question...

"Oh, you look great in that dress!" Kudo Shinichi thought for a moment and replied directly, "It's very different from your usual look."

This sounds a bit disgusting, but he doesn't mean it as a compliment.

After all, he could only praise his appearance. Their play only involved the princess getting married and being attacked, and the knight falling from the sky. He didn't have the chance to experience the subsequent role interpretation.

But he had to admit that as soon as he stepped onto the stage and saw Mao Lilan standing in front of him with a fluttering skirt, he was indeed stunned.

Tang Ze, who was one step behind the two of them and followed with Hui Yuan Ai in hand, twitched his lips.

What does it mean that she looks very different from her usual appearance? Are you saying that the corners of her bangs are gone?

Not to mention, Mao Lilan, whose corners are blocked by the hair crown, has indeed improved her appearance based on the original.

The blame lies solely on the coloring assistant whose hands are slippery and the author who does whatever it takes to make it more recognizable.

Cursing in his heart, Karasawa kicked Kudo Shinichi's heel to stop him from saying the next shocking line.

The atmosphere is quite good now, so don't talk too much.

Kudo Shinichi, who was about to comment a few more words, was silenced by his kick. He turned his head and looked at Mao Lilan, who was blushing and lowering his head without saying a word, and then realized what he had just said. …

He pulled off his collar uncomfortably, lowered his head and stopped talking.

"So, how did this guy reach the stage of a two-way secret love with Miss Mori?" Haibara Ainin, who had witnessed the whole process, was convinced that without Karasawa's kick, Kudo Shinichi would have said something embarrassing again. He couldn't help but start complaining, "It feels like he doesn't have that string at all."

"He is handsome, outgoing and cheerful, has an upright personality, and can step forward without hesitation in times of crisis... This kind of guy is very lovable." As Tang Ze spoke, he patted his sister's head twice.

What about her? If Miyano Akemi hadn't been alive and active, if Karasawa hadn't intervened in the plot...

This kind of self-confident and determined sunshine brave man is a special attack on this kind of pessimist who habitually denies himself.

"No, I think the most important thing is the first point."

As long as he looks a little different, Miss Maori may not be attracted to him. Tangze, aren't you yourself too? Even if you were actually an autistic person who never socialized in the past, you are still very popular because of this face.

Haiyuan Ai glanced at the unconscious Tang Ze and couldn't help but sigh arrogantly.

"Okay, it's really weird to hear you talking like that in Conan's voice." After rubbing his sister's head twice, Tangze pointed to the other side of the intersection, "You should go to school."

"Conan! Good morning!"

"Why are you wearing a mask? Do you have a cold?"

Seeing several elementary school students running over from the other side, Kudo Shin suddenly raised his hand and waved to say hello to them.

——He was grabbed tightly by Tang Ze behind him.

"Hey Kudo, can you stay a little nervous?" Karasawa rolled his eyes and whispered, "I'm really afraid that you won't be able to hold back for a while and call me Brother Karasawa."

If he remembered correctly, after growing up, Kudo really had the tendency to call Xiaolan sister when he opened his mouth.

When I became a child, I liked to call people brother and sister, but I struggled for a long time. When I became an adult, I couldn't control the titles again, so I started calling people brother and sister again.

Kudo Shinichi's acting skills, if Mao Lilan wants to be completely unaware of the problem, she really has to pretend to be blind.

"Stop talking nonsense." Kudo Shinichi glanced sideways at him, watching Haibara Ai, who was completely dressed as Conan, quietly walking towards a few people, and sighed silently in his heart.

Well, when he was relaxed, he did have a subconscious urge to add "brother or sister" after the other person's name.

Suddenly returning to his own life, it may take him some time to adapt.

"Conan, the doctor said that Haibara has a cold and didn't come to school."

"Oh, that's how it is."

"Did you watch yesterday's football match? It was very exciting."

"No, I went to sister Xiaolan's school yesterday..."

Watching the figures of the children getting further and further away, Kudo Shinko let out a small breath.

Conversations that felt natural when I was living as a child now sound like a crayon-scrawled dream.

Had I really been one of them?

"Stop feeling emotional." Karasawa reminded Kudo Shinichi, who was standing there blankly, "If we don't hurry up, we will be late."

"Hurry up and go Shinichi!"

The three people walked quickly across the sidewalk where the light turned green. At the same time, the children's voices that were getting farther and farther away could still catch some vague words.

"...who is that?"

"Kudo Shinichi, the one next to the doctor..."

"Oh, the one from the haunted house!"

Kudo Shinichi, who was dragged forward and ran forward, almost stepped on Karasawa's sneakers.

What is a haunted house? Damn it, he knew these naughty kids were not cute at all!

————

"Wow, the big star Kudo is back!"

"We just came back, and the couple came to school together?"

When he walked into the classroom that he had not seen for many days, Kudo Shinichi was greeted by not only the stares from his classmates, but also the teasing from a few guys who loved to tease him.

There was even a guy with a funny personality. Looking at the two people who were still blushing, he put his fingers to his mouth and started to whistle.

"What nonsense are you talking about, these guys." Mao Lilan was embarrassed and had some subtle chuckling, so she just complained in a low voice.

"No, don't you have bad eyesight?" Kudo Shinichi, who was panting slightly in order to catch up with the last few minutes of running, changed into a handbag, and held back his hand several steps behind them. At this moment, Karasawa walked in. He pulled her over and said, "Isn't there another person with you?"

Tangze, who was suddenly attacked, raised his head blankly, and the originally warm atmosphere in the classroom also stagnated.

Tang Ze subconsciously looked towards the seat in the diagonal direction, and saw that Wakayama Junko had lowered her head and buried her face in the book, not daring to look at them at all.

The previous turmoil has gradually subsided with the clarification of the causes and consequences. After such a long time, the misunderstandings about Tang Ze's character and criminal record can be regarded as resolved.

But the relationship between Tang Ze and other people in the class was still at a stalemate.

The embarrassment caused by the previous oolong has not been resolved, and Karasawa never takes the initiative to approach anyone except Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko. It is unclear whether he has such a personality or has been slandered by rumors and does not want to communicate with them. Others in the class No one dared to take the initiative to talk to me.

The final result was that although the previous cold violence no longer continued, it still seemed as if he was isolated, and the atmosphere did not ease much.

So Kudo Shinichi suddenly pulled him like this, causing the atmosphere to become a little cold unconsciously.

"What are you doing?" Understanding the source of those people's frozen expressions, Kudo Shinichi grabbed Karasawa's hand a little harder, "Could it be that this time he wanted to arrange a hug for Xiaolan? ?”

The boys who started making noises looked at me and I looked at you, with a little surprise in their eyes.

"While you were away, there were other handsome guys around Xiaolan, but you weren't jealous, Kudo." Thanks to a good relationship with Kudo Shinichi, someone finally had the courage to tease her, "I thought you were back. We are going to stage a drama where the bamboo horse beats the sky and falls..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Karasawa and I are good brothers. If I'm not around, he can take care of Xiaolan for me, okay?" He raised his hand and patted Karasawa's shoulder hard. Kudo Shinichi choked back angrily.

When it comes to whether Tang Ze has a good grasp of the situation, is there anyone who knows better than him?

Compared to Tang Ze who lived downstairs, he was the one who was more inseparable from Mao Lilan during this period... ahem.

"Oh, so you didn't deny that Xiaolan is your girlfriend..."

"You guys, have you said enough?"

Almost pinching the strap of the bag in her hand, the blushing Mao Lilan couldn't listen anymore and slapped Kudo Shinichi on the back.

If Tang Ze hadn't quickly caught him with his backhand, he would have been thrown behind the desk.

"Who is who's girlfriend? And Shinichi, what do you mean by taking care of you? Who needs you to take care of me anymore! It's like you took care of me before..."

Kudo Shinichi, who felt the strong push on his back, took a breath and then stood up straight with Karasawa's help. Not to be outdone, he fought back: "Karasawa is indeed helping you. You can't deny it, right?"

"I don't know who was kidnapped last time while traveling. In the end, we girls were looking for someone in the mountains. You two are the same!"

"Hey hey..."

The two people bickered and joked, while Kudo Shinichi's hand was always firmly on Karasawa's shoulder.

Tangze, who understood his intention, turned his head and glanced at his motionless hand, and couldn't help but smile too.

He said, this kind of guy is very likable.

Standing on the other side of the corridor, watching this scene from the back door window, Belmod pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, took two steps back silently, and continued walking towards the infirmary as if nothing had happened.

Kumail is also a very talkative guy.

As long as they get along happily, with him around, the two children can rest peacefully for a few days and not worry about the storm ahead for the time being.

As for news related to Kudo Shinichi, she will find ways to prevent relevant remarks from continuing to spread.
