Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"I feel like I'm going to be useless..."

After being escorted out of the haunted house by the old lady, Yuji rubbed his sore waist with a look of confusion on his face.

"What happened? I seemed to have been knocked unconscious."

"It's an illusion."

Chris pretended to be helpless: "The organization's doctor diagnosed that you held it in for too long and fainted after releasing it all at once."

"Am I actually so weak..."

The two found a booth in a small restaurant and sat down. The boy held his face, his brain still not fully awake.

"Also, the doctor said you have kidney stones."

She wasn't lying. Those researchers really did an ultrasound examination on Yuji.

"Take some medicine and let it pass."

Yuji gently touched the back of his head with his hand, feeling a sharp pain in his heart. He gasped suddenly and looked at Belmode with wide eyes and suspicion.

"Miss Chris? Did I really faint from peeing?"

"Yes."

"Then the back of my head..."

"You fell to the ground after fainting."

With a sigh, Yuji looked out the window again and found that almost all the tourists in Dorobiga Paradise had left, and then he remembered what happened tonight.

"Either that was the plan...or you were dating me."

The young man looked at Belmod up and down: "Why did you take off your disguise?"

"You don't think that disguise can fool the Qin Bar." Belmod took out a pair of hair ties from the lining of his chest and tied his hair up casually. He finally looked like a mother.

"Vodka also knew it a long time ago, so I sent them back." Belmod held his face and ordered two cold drinks casually: "I also told them that Machiko likes girls and hates men, so I sent the mission I gave it to her and she ignored me.”

"Wow, are you causing trouble for me?"

Yuji looked at the lemon tea brought by the waiter, and looked at Belmod with disgust, as if asking, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"What's wrong, lemon tea doesn't taste good." Chris raised the corner of her mouth: "It still doesn't look good?"

"I don't want to answer this question." Yuji pushed the lemon tea away: "Give me a cup of coffee."

"No drinking." Belmod touched his face and said, "By the way, do you like boys or girls?"

Because he couldn't drink coffee, Yuji couldn't get excited at all: "I like Sister Yu."

"That's the girl."

There was a smile hidden in Belmode's eyes: "Do you want to know how Xiaolan is doing now?"

"With your arrangements, it must have been done, right?"

The young man slapped the table and looked at Belmod curiously: "Tell me how she regained her memory. I suffered from the boss that time."

Although he enjoyed it when he woke up, when he landed in the heavy truck and faced those radioactive chickens, he really wanted to die right away.

"No, you must be reluctant to let Xiaolan suffer so much. The process of recovering her memory shouldn't be that painful, right?"

Yuji felt that Chrissy's expression was a little strange, with a hint of jealousy: "It doesn't seem to be in pain at all."

"Okay, I'll take you home and have a good sleep."

"...You are not a little partial..."

...At the central square of Dorobiga Paradise, Xiaolan saw Shinichi holding a copper ring and covered her mouth in surprise.

"Yeah... Well, I know the copper ring is a bit excessive, but I promise I will make it up later."

Shinichi wiped the doll's clothes with a copper ring and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no discoloration. Gold finally looks better.

"You didn't want to propose to me before, did you?"

Xiaolan did not agree to him immediately, but looked at her boyfriend as if she was a pervert. She indeed only had the memory of about six years old when she lost her memory.

"What I actually want to tell you is that it doesn't matter if you can't remember what happened in the past ten years."

Shinichi clenched his fists. Although there was no one else around, he was still a little embarrassed: "Xiaolan, I have liked you since I was five years old."

Being hit by such straightforward words, Xiaolan's face turned red, but she didn't want to be seen by Shinichi, so she had to turn her head to look at Paradise.

"It doesn't matter if you lose your memory, it doesn't matter if you can't remember it, it doesn't matter if you can't remember me." Shinichi patted his chest: "I have absolute confidence. I like you, I like you more than anyone else in the world."

and so……

"So, no matter how many times, dozens, or hundreds of times, even if you have no feelings for me anymore, I will try my best to make you fall in love with me again."

The atmosphere between the two became a little pinker. Xiaolan was too shy to speak now, so she could only nodded to show that she believed Shinichi's words.

"Let's... go sit over there for a while."

The two saw the bench where they sat on their last date, and they both walked over and sat down on both sides of the bench. Just as Xiaolan turned around and wanted to continue talking to Shinichi, she saw a huge doll head looking at her. Startled.

"What are you..."

"I'm so famous, I'll be in trouble if people see me." Shinichi patted the doll's head.

"It was here last time. Not long after we sat, you came to tease me with a can of Coke."

Xiaolan touched her face with her hands, as if she could still feel the feeling of Shinichi applying ice cola to her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"We didn't sit there longer, so we just said we were going home. When you saw those strange people, you chased after them. In fact, I have been thinking, if I had chatted with you more and went home later, would it have harmed you? It won’t get smaller.”

"Xiaolan, there are no ifs in this world." Xinyi put his hands on his knees: "If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known you had thought about this."

"I'll definitely think about it..."

"You just love to think so much. You've been like this since you were a child. If you don't like your parents' separation, just say it. If someone does something you hate, just say it. If you don't want a sister, you can just say it. You don't have to be so kind."

Shinichi's head turned around, and the doll's head also turned around, which looked quite funny.

"Yuji once said to me that you can sacrifice for others, but don't live for others. Living like that might be worse than..."

Shinichi felt that what he said was a bit excessive.

"I know, this time too, Miss Chris saw that I was having trouble, so she gave me a pill, saying it would make me temporarily lose my memory."

Xiaolan looked up at the starry sky: "Compared to before, I feel that I am actually much more selfish now, and I have figured it out. It's good to have a sister."

"You're not selfish." Shinichi sat a little closer on his butt: "Guys like Yuji are called selfish."

He felt that he was already close to Xiaolan, so he touched the girl's hand with his doll paw and held it with her.

"As for younger brothers and sisters, you can ask him to bring tea and water, rub shoulders and legs, go out to buy groceries, and they are literally delivered to your door for free. He can do anything."

Hearing Shinichi's words, Xiaolan didn't know why, but the image of Shinichi running to her crying every time he was bullied by Yuji when he was a child came to mind. She always felt that he was pretending.

[Let’s not mention it anymore...]
