"...So, I shouldn't have used my big move at the end just now. If she was charged, I could kill her with just a few hits. I still haven't gotten rid of my habit of firing my big move when it's fully charged..."
"...And when I hit it too hard, it actually cut off the combo..."
Kuroki Jin was chattering along the way. Only he and Haibara Ai were left in the car. The other children, including Conan, were sent home, and Kuro Mu Jin was now driving towards his home.
Hui Yuan Ai listened to his muttering with some despair, wondering why this person hadn't noticed before that he was a game fan?
"No!" Kuroki Ren's sudden loud voice frightened Haiyuan, and he heard the person next to him say: "I have to go practice tomorrow... Ouch - why are you pinching me?"
If he wasn't driving, Haiyuan Ai would have to exert another three points.
She said speechlessly: "Please wake up and stop thinking about that game of yours. Do you understand why Teacher Judy went there?"
"...going to play games?"
Haibara Ai:"……"
She dropped the topic, as long as Kuroki Jin stopped discussing his previous game.
Kuroki Ren calmed down after his excitement passed, and began to reflect on whether he had been too high-spirited just now. He said somewhat sarcastically: "Are you hungry? Do you want to go get something to eat?"
"It's already this time...I'll make whatever you have at home."
"Well……"
Haiyuan Ai held his forehead, forgetting that this was a guy who lived without home all year round and only had Coke in the refrigerator.
"Forget it, I'm not very hungry." Hui Yuan Ai gave up. She was already very tired and didn't want to go out to eat.
"That's good," Heimuren parked the car at the door, "You go back first, I'll pack some food for you... I'm hungry." Afraid of Haiyuan Ai's rejection, Heimuren added pitifully. Last sentence.
Haiyuan Ai glanced at him helplessly, nodded and got out of the car. The joy between his brows and eyes was well captured by Kuromu Ren.
Watching Haibara Ai come in, Kuroki hit the gas and go to the nearby 24-hour convenience store to start shopping. When he returned home with a full load and opened the door, the sound of communication in the room made his heart stop.
"Xiao Ai——" He dropped the things directly and rushed into the room quickly. He saw two people, one large and one small, looking at him inexplicably.
"Toshiya...? Why are you here?" Kuroki Ren removed his hand from his waist, also looking puzzled.
"We had a quarrel with my dad." Odagiri Toshiya twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, looking at Kuroki Jin's regular hands: "You weren't going to pull out a gun on me just now, were you?"
"You're wrong."
"Ha." Odagiri Toshi also sneered. He glanced between Kuroki Jin and Haibara Ai, with a clear look on his face: "I'll leave as soon as I'm done. I won't disturb your world."
"What are you talking about-"
"I read in the news that Touya Aikawa will attend some kind of opening ceremony in Tokyo soon. Is there any way you can let me go too?"
Kuroki Ren sat on the sofa, next to Haihara Ai, and raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What are you going to do? Perform on the same stage with him?"
"Don't be beaten down at my level." Odagiri Toshi also curled his lips, "I am his fan, I just want to meet him."
"Fan?" Kuroki Ren glanced at his unruly hair color, and then thought of Aikawa Touya's performance on stage, "...not to mention, it's really similar."
"What?"
"I didn't expect you to be star-struck." This was not a big deal, so Kuroki agreed casually. What Aikawa Touya wants to attend is the opening ceremony of [Cocoon] developed by Sindora Group this time. Kuroki Jin can't get a game quota, but he can still get a quota to enter the tour.
On the surface, he still has the identity of Ken San's nephew, so it's no problem to bring someone in. If it's hard to find Yuanzi for help, she can even put those children in. It's not a big problem to add one more.
"Okay, that's it, I'm leaving." Odagiri Toshi also stood up, "By the way, I plan to take the children on an outing tomorrow and say hello to Mr. Jiangcheng."
"Have fun." Kuroki Jin didn't object.
After he left, Kuroki took the purchased things from the front hall to the living room and placed them on the table. He only bought some instant products that didn't even need to be heated.
Fortunately, Haibara Ai is not picky about food. She can survive eating sandwiches for three meals a day, and she didn't express any disdain for this last-minute midnight snack.
She was curious about something else: "Is this young man familiar with those children?"
Kuroki bit his sandwich and said vaguely: "I asked Brother Dahe to help take care of the children several times before when he was in trouble, and he became familiar with it after two visits."
Odagiri Toshi also showed rebelliousness towards his peers and his father, but he was gentle and patient with children. Coupled with Kuroki Jin's relationship, he easily gained the children's trust.
Seeing Haihara Ai's thoughtful expression, Kuroki Ren thought for a while and said, "Yazhen... Yazhen is the nephew of the murderer who killed Minye's mother. "
"Um?"
Jin Kuroki briefly talked about the reason why the relationship between Odagiri Toshiya and his father deteriorated: "...when I was cleaning the slums, Masazumi seemed to have just been abandoned. He was less than one year old, and he would not let go after being picked up by Airi's sister. .”
"It was only after extensive investigation that we discovered such a relationship. Originally, we had no intention of adopting him, or Sister Airi cried when she saw him leaving her arms, so she kept him... What's wrong?"
Seeing the strange look in Haihara Ai's eyes, Kuroki Ren thought it was because she didn't like to hear these old things, so he smiled and said, "No more, let's go to bed early. We've been playing all day today."
Hui Yuan Ai complained: "I just watched you play for a whole day."
She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask what she just said: "... What criteria did you use when you decided to adopt these children?"
Listening to Kuroki Ren's words, they had handled as many as eighty children back then, so why did they finally choose these five to take home?
Kuroki Ren was stunned for a rare moment, and then fell silent.
"If it's not convenient to say..."
"It's nothing." Heimuren smiled softly and touched the top of Haiyuan Ai's hair, "There's nothing I can't say to you."
"Except for Yazhen, the other four have at least one parent who is a member of the original organization."
Haiyuan Ai did not expect that the answer would be this. She was startled. Before she could ask the question, she heard Kuromu Ren add: "It's an undercover... or a traitor."
"...Sometimes I really don't know whose side you are on."
Heimuren smiled when he heard this, and his hand touched the top of Haiyuan Ai's hair again. Regardless of the latter's dissatisfied struggle, his voice was ethereal but firm:
"Of course I'm on your side."
