Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Nakamori Aoko and Kuroba Kaito went back soon, and only Kudo Yuji and Miyano Shiho were left in the ward. Due to the frankness with each other before, the memory of the six-year-old boy was temporarily a little shy, his face There is also some redness on it.

However, Miyano Shiho didn't feel this way at all. She had long been used to this boy who was two years younger than her but always looked like a lolita control.

【and……】

Touching her conscience, the brown-haired girl's face turned rosy.

[If you don’t remember them, forget them...]

"what are you thinking about?"

Yuji looked at Miyano Shiho who had his hand on his chest and reached out to press the paging button to call the nurse over.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

Patting his face to return to normal, Miyano Shiho's brain came back online.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Yuji stroked his beard. By the way, speaking of the hospital gown I am wearing, could it be that Miyano Shiho also changed into it?

Thinking of it, he quietly lifted the quilt and took a look. The question mark above his head became even bigger.

[Why is it as clean as the chin? 】

"Ahem!" Miyano Shiho, who kept covering his face, called him to stop: "You don't think I can't see you, do you?"

"Hug... I'm sorry..." Yuji clasped his hands together in embarrassment: "Are you asking me if I'm not at all curious about my life ten years from now?"

"Logically speaking, ten years have turned upside down, and they just mentioned about the girl you are close to, so there is no way they won't ask at all."

Miyano Shiho pinched his chin and said calmly: "Don't you want to know why you are in the United States, why your parents and brother are not around, but you are lying on the hotel bed with me?"

After scratching his head, Yuji said: "It's impossible to say that I'm not curious, but I can guess that nothing will happen to those people at home, so we are traveling, right?"

"That's true..."

"As for girls, I really have no impression of them at all. Even if you say our relationship is very good, I feel it is no different from watching a movie."

But when he saw the photo, his heartbeat was really happy, so he could probably be sure that those two girls were the ones Kudo Yuji liked.

[But it’s not the person I like...]

Taking out his phone, Kudo Yuji looked at the lock screen, entered his birthday and opened the photo album. As expected, the first photo was of him holding Haibara Ai.

[Is it because I fell in love with them before I met her...]

I guess once you find someone you like, you will gradually treat her like an idol. Looking at it this way, I may be luckier than myself. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the person I liked.

"Your logical thinking is really not like that of a six-year-old..."

Before she finished speaking, Miyano Shiho stopped glancing at Yuji out of the corner of her eye. Her pupils shrank, and she showed a strange expression for a moment.

Because Kudo Yuu opened his smartphone naturally and was using it skillfully.

But this is obviously very unreasonable, because ten years ago, smartphones were just a simple concept. Even if you could guess how to use them, it was outrageous to use them so smoothly.

[Sure enough, this guy is just acting, and he has no hidden thoughts in front of him at all. 】

Lowering his head, Miyano Shiho clenched his hands, his heart beating rapidly, and he made up his mind.

[In this case, I want to see what you want to do! 】

What was the plan? Even they who had been traveling together didn't know. Although it was understandable that two organizations were involved, Miyano Shiho still found it a bit boring.

I don’t know when she started to have this little girl’s temper...

Thinking of the boy in front of her, the girl snorted coldly.

[It's all this guy...] She just didn't pay attention for a little bit. When she came back to her senses, she found that Kudo Yuji in front of her had already changed clothes and seemed eager to go outside to take a look.

"Let's go."

"Where are you going? The doctor said you need to be hospitalized for observation."

"That's so boring." Yuji's eyes were shining, maybe because of the angle of the sun or something else: "It's rare for me to come abroad."

"Anyway, your parents are settled in the United States now. You can come anytime you want. Your health is the most important thing right now."

He must not be allowed to find excuses to sneak out. As long as he is locked in the ward, all his little tricks will be of no use. As for the animals, Kuroba Kaito had already told him to take care of it anyway, so there was no need to worry about it for the time being.

"But then you won't be with me anymore. I want to play with you."

【Eh? 】

The girl suddenly softened.

Grabbing Miyano Shiho's hand, Yuji smiled expectantly. He looked different from his usual one, very sunny and handsome: "Let's go visit Las Vegas in the United States."

[Wrong, this sunny guy is not him at all! This guy's acting skills are definitely not that strong. 】

I poked my head out of the ward and found that there was no one at the nurse's station. The head nurse seemed to have gone to do something. Yuji generously led Miyano Shiho to the elevator.

"There was no reaction at all. The nurses here are pretty cool."

Looking straight at the nurse who was flirting with a young man at the door of the dressing room, Yuji shook his head.

"After all, it's just an ordinary hospital." He opened his mask and let himself breathe. Miyano Shiho bumped Yuji lightly: "Sorry, I can't send you to a high-end hospital, where family members are required to show their ID."

"That's it. I can't help it. My parents aren't here either."

After taking the elevator down to the first floor and standing at the entrance of the lobby, about to hail a taxi, Yuuji heard someone calling his name.

"Mr. Kudo!"

The two turned around and saw a blond American woman holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms. After confirming that it was indeed Kudo Yuji, she trotted over.

"It's really you. I knew I was right."

"you are?"

Since he didn't call Miyano Shiho but himself, it means he is an acquaintance of him.

"It's me, Kara, the registrar from last night."

[The hotel’s registrar? 】

"By the way, sorry, my memory is not very good."

Patting his head, Yuji narrowed his eyes: "What are you..."

"Oh, I saw you guys taking a taxi to the hospital last night, so I'm here to visit today." Kara handed the flower to Miyano Shiho: "Is your health okay?"

"It's okay, thank you for your concern." Yuer said politely, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get rid of this woman.

Seeing that the other party did not intend to communicate with her too much, Kara wisely handed the document bag under her arm to Yuji with both hands.

"I've already taken care of everything for you."

"OK, thanks."

[Is this the hotel check-out procedure? 】

Looking at the woman, Yuji casually put the document bag into the bag carried by Miyano Shiho. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Kara's farewell.

"Goodbye, Mr. Kudo, and Mrs. Kudo." (End of Chapter)
