The Rice Krispies Aquarium is not very far from the Candy House, but it's definitely not close either. It takes about twenty minutes to walk. Kuroki Jin suggested driving everyone there, but Kudo Shinichi persuaded him to back down.
"It takes us enough time just to find a parking space around the aquarium on the weekends for us to walk there."
Kuroki Jin thought about it carefully and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. In addition, the sun had been rising for a while and the temperature outside was not very cold, so everyone decided to walk over.
Kuroki Ren distributed the baked bread that he had prepared long ago to everyone, and another person held a cup of hot milk tea, and the four of them walked swaying on the sidewalk.
It looks like Jin Kuroki is a high school student like them.
In the front, Kudo and Xiaolan were chatting and laughing, and Sonoko sometimes interrupted, and he also expressed his own opinions from time to time. For a moment, he seemed to have traveled through time and space and returned to the past.
that time--
"The relationship between Scotland and Bourbon is still so good." Kuroki Jin, who was sent away by Gin to take on a small task, made an envious sound while carrying his guitar bag.
"After all, we are students at the same time." Rye Whiskey always said very little.
"But Rye, didn't you join the same organization as them?" Kuroki Jin chuckled, "Don't always look cold and sullen, go and have fun with your peers."
Kuroki, who was a full round older than Kuroki Jin, smiled helplessly, and then looked at the two people in front of him looking back at the good show, and was forced to nod.
"Okay!" Kuroki Jin, who was only fifteen years old at the time, could not jump as high as Rye, but he still said excitedly: "Then let's go play video games when the mission is over! I have never been to a video game outside. city."
Scotland smiled and nodded in agreement. Bourbon always listened to Scotland's words, and rye was no exception. Things seemed to be settled just like that.
It's a pity that they didn't go to the video game city after that mission. What's the specific reason--
"Mr. Kuroki?"
Kuroki Jin, who was immersed in memories, was startled, and then he realized that Suzuki Sonoko was standing in front of him, leaning forward so close that his face was almost touching.
"Ah, what's wrong?" Kuroki Ren calmly distanced himself, and saw Kudo and Xiaolan in front of him looking back and waving his hands to indicate that nothing was wrong.
"Mr. Kuroki, you are too distracted." Suzuki Sonoko complained, "That bastard Kudo talked about two cases and you didn't react at all."
"I remembered something from the past." Kuroki Jin said briefly, changing the topic back, "I heard from Wenren that Kudo-kun, you took him to solve many cases?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Kuroki, let me tell you..." Kudo Shinichi started his story session again.
Kuroki Jin no longer thought about what happened before. He listened quietly to Kudo's retelling of the case, and answered Suzuki Sonoko's questions from time to time. After Mao Lilan finally couldn't help but punched the wall to shut up Kudo They finally arrived at the Popcorn Aquarium.
Kuroki Ren was just glad that he was obedient and didn't choose to drive. The huge crowds were simply intimidating.
"Let's go." Suzuki Sonoko patted Kuroki Ren on the shoulder, ran over him and straddled Mao Lilan's arm, "We just go in directly."
Kuroki Jin pointed at the crowd in line and asked.
"Half of the investment here belongs to my family." Suzuki Sonoko said without showing off. This is very normal for her. "If we had to wait normally, we would just have to wait. Why don't we go shopping later today? The most important thing is to get in quickly."
Kuroki Jin: ...He doesn’t really want to go shopping.
When he was in the United States, one Belmode was enough for him to drink a pot. Now there are two girls present... and one who is not short of money.
But no matter what, Kuroki was dragged in. The aquarium opened a separate employee channel to let them in. Kuroki, a commoner who has been working for more than ten years, finally enjoyed a privilege.
"Wow--" As soon as they entered, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko exclaimed in admiration at the same time.
Kuroki Jin was the last one to walk in. He looked around, and saw the blue color as if he were in the deep sea. Fish were swimming around, and the stars were dotted as if they were swimming in the starry sky.
"It's so beautiful." Kuroki Jin praised sincerely.
Introductions to various fish species were placed in front of each display cabinet. Kuroki Ren looked at them as he walked, matching them one by one with the knowledge in his mind.
Kuroki Jin has learned a lot of miscellaneous things. The nature of his work requires him to quickly adapt to any environment. Although he cannot yet understand astronomy and geography, he has seen a lot of various things under Gin's conscious guidance. books.
But those were just written words, and compared to what he learned, what he saw was very little.
It is impossible for the organization to build an aquarium underground...
Kuroki Jin looked around like a child, only taking a cell phone to take pictures and check in. He was not at all like his usual lively self.
A rare display of childishness made Suzuki Sonoko stand aside with pink bubbles in her eyes.
"How's the garden?" Mao Lilan leaned over, "Do you feel any progress?"
"Not at all." Suzuki Sonoko's pink bubbles were not missing, "But I noticed-"
"What?"
"I think Mr. Kuroki might just simply appreciate beauty, so I just want to watch him from afar."
"Ah - if he becomes a model, I can buy ten magazines and hang them on my bedside."
Kudo Shinichi felt that Suzuki Sonoko was useless, so he silently took a few steps back to talk to Kuroki Jin.
Kuroki Jin gradually calmed down after the initial freshness. He and Kudo walked inside while talking about marine life, passing by different counter exhibition areas until they reached the dolphin show inside.
"The latest show is about to start, should we go and see it?"
"Of course." Heimuren replied without thinking, "I also want to bring a dolphin pendant for Wen Ren."
So the four of them went to queue, and in the middle, Kuroki Ren also went back to buy some fish-shaped snacks sold here.
"Sure enough, I will take Wenren here if I have the chance." Kuroki Ren put the dolphin-shaped grilled banana into his mouth, "He should like this small thing very much."
"Mr. Kuroki seems to like him very much too." Mao Lilan laughed. Sometimes she found it funny that Kuroki said other people were childish. He was obviously the one who looked most like a child.
In short, the dolphin show is where the trainer makes the dolphins perform various movements. Kuroki Jin was very immersed in watching it for the first time, and he couldn't get enough of it in just fifteen minutes.
After they came out to buy souvenirs, the second dolphin show had already begun.
"We've almost finished shopping here." Kudo Shinichi touched the glass wall, "The atmosphere here is not bad, but there are a lot of people."
"The more people there are, the more relaxed they can be." Xiaolan was very satisfied.
Only then did Kuroki Ren remember that the reason they came in the first place was for Mao Lilan's estranged parents to meet and reconcile by chance.
Kuroki Ren: "..."
