Edogawa Conan doesn't want to make friends.
He is a high school student, and he is also a high school detective with incredible intelligence. He is more knowledgeable and more mature than his peers... although the behavior of tracking dangerous people does not seem to be mature at all.
To sum up, it is simply embarrassing for him to make friends with six or seven-year-old children of the same age at this stage.
So he refused, and then he was almost beaten by the tall, fat kid who was following Ayumi Yoshida.
Fortunately, the remaining thin child stopped him with words, and it was from his mouth that Edogawa Conan learned the names of the three of them.
The girl's name is Yoshida Ayumi, the tall and fat boy is named Kojima Genta, and the skinny boy is named Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko.
Just when Edogawa Conan was looking for an excuse to leave, the excuse came.
"Bumi Bumi." An unknown girl in the same class dragged a boy and ran towards them.
"Then I'll leave first." Edogawa Conan saw that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he turned around and wanted to run away.
Then was stopped.
"I remember your name is Conan-san." Takeuchi Kai was enthusiastic and cheerful, "I am Takeuchi Kai, and this is my brother Takeuchi Yu."
"ah……"
"My brother's name is Takeuchi Yu. Please be sure to remember his name." Takeuchi Kai repeated seriously.
"ah?"
"Remember? My brother..."
"Takeuchi Yu, I remember." Edogawa Conan was sweating profusely, wondering why this little girl seemed to be sick.
"Yeah! You are the eleventh person who remembers my brother's name." Takeuchi Yui jumped up and down excitedly, pulling Takeuchi Yu and ran towards the original target Yoshida Ayumi.
Takeuchi Yu just gave Edogawa an apologetic expression in despair and helplessness, but was pulled away by his sister before he could finish the expression.
Edogawa Conan: "..."
He wants to transfer to another school.
Finally getting rid of this group of noisy children, Conan carried his schoolbag and walked towards his current home, the Mori Detective Agency. On the way, he happened to meet Tedan High School after school, so the solo trip turned into a threesome.
"By the way, Conan-kun," Mao Lilan, who was talking to Suzuki Sonoko, suddenly said to him, "Was yesterday's candy delicious?"
"Good... delicious." Conan actually didn't eat.
"I bought it in that store." Mao Lilan pointed, and Edogawa Conan looked over, it was Kuroki's candy house.
Edogawa Conan thought to himself that when he saw the packaging, he knew that he bought it at a candy store, and he almost let it slip. After all, he came here as a distant relative of Dr. A Li, so how could he know about such a small candy shop.
"Ah..." He didn't know what to say, so he could only look at his former childhood sweetheart with a naive smile.
"From now on, Conan-kun can go there with his friends after school. The shop owner is a very gentle gentleman." Mao Lilan began to describe Kuroki Ren. It's not like Edogawa Conan didn't recognize him, but he still listened to her perfunctorily while thinking about things.
"...But not today. I see that dad was mumbling about buying wine yesterday. He is probably very drunk now. We have to go back and stop him!"
So the confused Conan was dragged back to the detective agency, and another case was solved by the way.
Kuroki Jin is listening to Takeuchi Kai counting who in the class has remembered Takeuchi Yu's name. After counting, Kuroki Jin feels that the number of classmates in her class who remember Xiao Yu's name may not be as many as hers. many.
As promised, he gave Takeuchi Hanayi twenty-three candies and told Takeuchi Yu to see that she was not allowed to eat too much at one time. Why would she promise such a thing when he complained about it.
"Because Xiaoyu always hides himself." Kuroki Ren took the egg tart that Anayuki had just baked, wrapped in heat-insulating paper and still steaming.
"Xiaoyu has always been a very smart child, and he is kind and often considers others, but he is not very good at expressing it." Kuroki Jin said softly, "I just hope you can live a happy life every day."
"Hinata," Yu Takeuchi's originally stern face gradually softened, and he said with the gentlest voice in his history, "I'm very happy."
"I'm really happy to meet you."
Anaisuki is no stranger to Kuroki Jin's friendship with children. He can remember most of the children who have visited two or three times. When he is not busy, he can know their names and names by just saying a few words. Family situation, so once or twice he can know something about everyone's current situation.
Therefore, the Takeuchi brothers and sisters or others mixed in this huge number of children did not attract anyone's attention.
Kuroki Jin, who has seen a little bit of Sherlock Holmes, sometimes thinks that his behavior is very similar to Sherlock Holmes who rationally uses the Baker Street detective team to pass on the little bit of information among the people passing by.
Then this idea was quickly suppressed in his mind.
He would have to be crazy to let this group of children who had managed to hide themselves be noticed again.
So the day after Kuroki Jin pressed this idea, the Young Detective Team came to visit.
As usual, Kuroki Jin brought a cup of hot coffee to bookstore owner Jinchuan when he was not busy, and with the latter's acquiescence, he hid in a corner and read. He had grown up in the organization throughout his youth. Although the organization had a lot of books, he didn't have time to read them. If he were to compare scores alone, he would probably be outclassed by Ruomu Wenren.
He is just good at what he can use.
So after being freed from the shackles of tedious tasks, what Kuroki did most was to make candies and read books. There was no way to make candies after all, the store had to sell them, so reading was his real pleasure.
Due to the habits he has developed over the years, even when he reads books, he will choose books that he may use, such as languages and cultures of various countries, some books on psychology and identifying things, etc.
So today when he was trying hard to learn knowledge, he saw such a strange child.
The little boy was wearing a blue suit and a small bow tie, looking through the English dictionary with a serious look on his face. Judging from his appearance and height, he is only in the first or second grade of elementary school. Have you already learned to use a dictionary to look up things in English by this time?
Kuroki Jin put down the original Italian book and dictionary he was holding, and leaned over to read with interest.
"No..." As soon as I got closer, I heard the little boy muttering to himself with a tone full of disappointment. He couldn't help but answer: "What are you looking for? My little friend."
"Ah——" Conan Edogawa was startled. He turned his head to see who was coming. Then he patted his chest in fear and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Kuroki. I was shocked."
"Huh?" Kuroki Ren was a little surprised, "Do you know me?"
"Ah..." Conan then remembered that he was no longer Kudo Shinichi.
"Ah, I've been to Mr. Kuroki's candy house before. There were too many people. Maybe you didn't notice it, Mr. Kuroki." He tried to cover it up.
"Eh? Really?" Kuroki Ren tried hard to recall. He thought he had identified all the children who came to buy candy, but it seemed that there were still some missing.
How careless.
