"Oh, of course I'm buying something for sister Keiko? Are you planning to go there empty-handed?"
"Isn't it possible?" the boy asked.
Hearing this, Xiao Karasuma took a breath of air, and his face once again showed that hesitant to speak, with a look of shock and despair.
"I don't think Keiko would like such polite things..." The boy, who realized that he had said something weird, then added.
"Police Officer Baihe..."
Letting out a very heavy sigh, Karasuma rarely used such a formal address. A strong aura suddenly emitted from her body. She slowly raised her hand and put it on the boy's shoulder, using a kind of She looked at him with eyes that were almost caring and said:
"It's only polite to those who don't have close friendships, but for the people you love, this is what you mean. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Xiao Karasuma felt an inexplicable terrifying pressure from his aura. The boy's intuition told him that it was better to be obedient at this time.
"Even girls who don't seem to care about these things will be happy when they receive this kind of affection from their beloved. They won't think it's a courtesy, understand?"
"I understand, thank you for your advice."
The boy bowed deeply towards Karasuma.
"Well, children can be taught."
Finally, the terrifying pressure on Karasuma disappeared, and she smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
But then, she slowly shook her head and sighed, and couldn't help but complain:
"Really, how on earth did you, a piece of wood, catch up with the smart, gentle and lovely sister Keiko..."
Her words made the boy fall into deep thought.
He suddenly realized that he had never thought about this problem before, as if by the time he realized it, he and Keiko were already in their current relationship...
So, how did he catch Keiko?
The boy had no relevant memories at all.
No, wait, wait a moment...
Was it really Keiko he was chasing?
Suddenly, this question emerged in the boy's mind.
He frowned slightly and lowered his head in thought.
That's not right. If you think about it carefully, in the past, it was Keiko who always took the initiative to come to him and blocked him in front of the house. On the contrary, he almost never came over on his own initiative...
It seemed that unknowingly, by the time he realized it, Keiko had become an extremely important presence in his life.
Eh?
Thinking about it this way, maybe he wasn't chasing Keiko...but Keiko was chasing him?
Is he the one being attacked? !
I see……
The boy looked dazed.
Just like in common romance and games, it turns out that Keiko is the "protagonist" who is responsible for the strategy, and he is one of the many "heroines" waiting to be captured?
It's just that Keiko is a "pure lover" and she only conquered the boy...
That's it, that's it...
"..."
In this way, after the boy and Karasuma bought some fruits at the market, they finally rushed towards the hospital where Keiko was.
Considering Keiko's sister's health condition, Karasuma followed the boy's instructions and only bought some low-sugar fruits.
Although the boy may seem very straight in some situations, he is not sloppy at all in important matters like this. The boy remembers clearly what Keiko's sister cannot eat and what she can only eat a little bit. Clearly.
"So, you're going to peel her off to Sister Keiko with your own hands later?"
In the corridor of the hospital, Karasuma was holding a paper bag with fruit in his hands and turned to the boy next to him who was doing the same thing.
"Yeah." The boy nodded.
"Really, don't just think about investigating cases all day long, and you need to be smarter. You can't let a female high school student teach you all these things, right?"
"I see."
The two of them chatted like this and approached the ward where Hatoyama Keiko was located at the end of the corridor.
Only then did the boy suddenly notice that there were two men wearing black suits and sunglasses standing in front of Keiko's ward.
The two men, both with East Asian faces, stood motionless on both sides of the door of Keiko's ward with their hands behind their backs.
There seemed to be some special aura about these two people. Even though they were more than ten meters away, the boy could vaguely feel a biting chill from them.
[These two people may have had lives on their hands. 】
Realizing this immediately, the boy squinted his eyes slightly and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Of course, this wasn't to say that the two men in suits put a lot of pressure on him, but... he didn't know these two men.
Yesterday morning, the boy came here to visit Keiko. At that time, the two men in suits guarding the door were not the two men in suits, but the detectives whom the two boys knew.
"Little Karasuma, please hold it for me first."
Already feeling a little uneasy, the boy walked straight towards the ward and handed the paper bag containing fruit to Karasuma next to him.
"Ah, oh..."
Without asking anything, Karasuma just glanced at the two men in suits in front of him, then reached out to take the paper bag handed to him, and subconsciously stood behind the boy.
Although she didn't have as keen a sense as the boys, she was still vaguely aware that the two men in suits were not kind people.
The two of them walked towards the ward silently. The distance of more than ten meters passed in an instant. The boy walked to the door of the ward. Without even looking at the two men in suits, he stretched out his hand to open the door of the ward.
"Stop! You can't go in now!"
At this moment, the two men in suits who had been motionless suddenly shouted and stretched out their hands to stop the boy.
The boy stopped and glanced at them both.
"You don't know me?"
This is a test, a test that the boy uses to determine what action he should take next.
Due to his engagement to Keiko Hatoyama and Mr. Hatoyama's deliberate training, the boy has long been known to several major families in Tokyo, both in name and appearance.
Keiko Hatoyama has a fiancé named Shirakawa Kiyoshi. This matter is not a secret at all.
Logically speaking, if people from the above big families came to visit, they would not stop him.
On the contrary, if he was stopped, it would only mean...
"No one is allowed in now!"
However, the two men in suits ignored the boy at all and just repeated the words again, loudly and with great momentum.
Hearing this, the boy said no more and silently stretched his hand to the door handle of the ward again.
"presumptuous!"
The two men in suits yelled when they saw this, and actually reached out to attack the boy, apparently wanting to capture him on the spot.
