On January 12, late at night, a small park near 5-chome.

Listening to Ran's sad words, feeling the teardrops that had just lost their warmth, Conan finally couldn't help it.

However, "Lan!" Just when Conan couldn't help but shout, "Ahem!" someone behind him made a gesture.

"Who?" Listening to the voice almost behind them, the two of them were shocked, Lan even made a move, and hit it with an elbow, but just past his body line, he felt numb, and then he couldn't exert his strength, and then he was pinched in his hand. So Lan instinctively wanted to kick her feet back, so that the person could change positions in preparation for the next attack, but at this time, the person behind her pressed on her shoulder first. "Not good!" Lan shouted in his heart, immediately letting go of Conan and sending him a few steps to the side to keep him at arm's length. But just when she wanted to attack again, she suddenly found that the left hand on her shoulder was not strong, and the appearance of this hand was very familiar, and the fragrance on her hand was also familiar, and then she felt that the voice just now was even more familiar, so she immediately stopped, and then looked sideways, "Aunt Miko!"

It was actually Mimiko Miyamoto who appeared, she let go of her hand and said with a smile: "Oops, I didn't expect Lan to greet me like this, it really saddened me." ”

"Aunt Miko!" Lan rubbed his numb arm and looked at Conan again to make sure he was okay, and then asked in surprise, "Aunt Miko, it's so late, why are you here?"

Mimiko Miyamoto looked at Lan and then at Conan, and quipped to Lan, "Why are you allowed to bring someone here to complain, and I am not allowed to pass by here?"

"Aunt Miko!" Lan immediately raised her voice, wiping her eyes and cheeks while shouting, "What do you mean by complaining, Conan is only six years old." Conan twitched the corners of his mouth and did not speak.

"Why, you want me to go," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "If it weren't for hearing someone say something so miserable, and seeing someone crying so sadly, I wouldn't want to come over, I would have liked to go back sooner rather than later." ”

"People are crying. Lan Qiang, who had already wiped away his tears, said.

"Oh, since that's the case, then I'll go. Mimiko Miyamoto said and turned around and left, but when Lan was about to say goodbye to her, she heard Miyako's voice coming, "I wanted to tell her the truth, but since I don't want to hear it, forget it." At this time, Lan was dumbfounded, Conan had a toothache when he heard it, and there was no way, Lan had to chase after him, "Wait a minute, Aunt Miko," and then stopped Miyako Miyamoto, "Aunt Miko, what did you say just now?"

"Me?" Miyakoto thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I didn't say anything." ”

"Didn't you say you were going to tell me the truth or something. Lan asked with a blank eye.

"Is there one?" Miyamoto thought for a moment before she said, "Oh, that, I remember I seemed to say that I was going back to take a dip, but unfortunately there was no one to help." ”

"I ......" Lan was so angry that she couldn't speak, and Conan's teeth hurt even more, this is to ask Lan to help her rub her back.

"Forget it," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile again, "for the sake of you crying so sadly just now, I won't tease you today," she said, looking around, pointing to a bench in the park, and said, "Come, let's go sit there." ”

Miyamoto Miko took Ran's hand and led Conan to the front of the bench, Conan immediately sat on the very edge, and then stood up embarrassedly under Miyamoto Miyako's gaze, but he felt a little strange, he had stopped for a moment, and they should have sat down. "In the future, remember that ladies come first," Miyamoto Miko said, taking out her handkerchief, spreading it out, and placing it on a chair, before she sat down, and said in her mouth, "Otherwise, you will not please the girl." Conan was extremely embarrassed to say this, but he finally knew the reason, it turned out to be a handkerchief, Conan felt too wronged, after all, Lan has always been not particular about this, and he sat down directly.

Lan also did the same, took out a handkerchief and sat down, and then hurriedly asked again, "Aunt Miko, can you talk now?" ”

"Okay, okay," Miyamoto said softly, holding Rand around her shoulders and letting her rest her head on her shoulder, "Come, tell Auntie why you blame your father." ”

So Lan Yuan told Miyamoto Miko about the children tonight, "Dad, he never took care of me, he never asked me how I was at school, if anything happened, when I came back at night, no matter how late I went, what happened, he ......"

The more Lan spoke, the more sad she became, and when she was about to cry again, she suddenly felt Aunt Miko's shoulders shaking, Lan thought that Aunt Miko was sympathetic to her, and was crying with her, and was about to talk to comfort Aunt Miko, who knew that Aunt Miko actually laughed, which made Lan angry for a while, sat up straight and asked, "What's so funny about this." ”

"Hah...... Okay, okay, I'm not smiling," Miyakoto said with a straight face, but still didn't stop, "poof, ha...... It's so funny," and then seeing Lan stand up angrily, Miyamoto Miko hurriedly said, "I'm laughing at your father's wrongdoing." The sentence attracted the attention of Lan who wanted to leave again, and Lan asked, "No, what does this mean?" As he spoke, he sat down again, shook Miyamoto Miko's arm and said, "Aunt Miko, say it quickly." ”

"Hah......" Miyako Miyamoto laughed a few more times before she said, "Do you remember that when you first learned karate, one day you went to participate in a club and came home late?"

"I remember, it was the coach who took us to watch the game in the afternoon, and then after coming back in the evening, seeing that we were in a high mood, I made up for the day's training, and I asked for an increase in the amount at the time, at first the coach was afraid that I couldn't stand it, and then I tested it before agreeing, but I still have been with me. Speaking of this, Lan said a little strangely, "I told my dad that day, I said I was going back late, so my dad didn't ask, it's normal, I didn't blame my dad about this matter." ”

"Do you remember how your dad talked to you when you came home?" Miyakoto asked with a chuckle.

"I'll think about it," Lan said as he thought, "it was late, I was tired, and when I came back, he was watching TV in the office, and I said to my dad, 'I'm back,' and he said, 'Oh, the bath is ready, you go wash and sleep first, I still have half an episode,' and I went up." Then he asked, "What's wrong with that?"

"And then?" Miyamoto Miko continued to ask with a smile, "What about the second day, the third day?"

"I didn't see anyone the next morning, and he came back late in the evening, as if he had gone drinking with someone," Lan continued, "and nothing happened on the third day, and it was too long for me to remember." Then she said in a coquettish voice, "Aunt Miko, just say it quickly." ”

"Since you remember so much, there must be some special reason, right?" Miyakoto asked rhetorically.

"Well," Lan nodded, "that was the first time I went to see a karate match, and the next day, Dad didn't know what he ate that night, he had allergies, and on the third morning, he got up with a big purple patch in his right eye, which was a rare food allergy for him, and asked him what he ate, and he said he couldn't remember, so I still remember some of these clearly." Then he asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"He's really allergic," Miyamoto said with a laugh, "but it's not a food allergy, it's just an anxiety allergy to her daughter." Seeing that Lan didn't understand what she said, Miyakoto Miko explained: "That night, Maori drank at my place, and after drinking for a while, he began to fidget, which is a rare thing, so I went over to find out, to see if there was anything, and wanted to help, who knew that he was worried because he hadn't seen his daughter come back for a long time." It was then that I realized that he was sitting somewhere where I could see outside. Then, after a while, he was gone, and I think he must have gone to look for you. Later, when I cleaned up the table, I found that he had only opened a few bottles, which was something that had never happened again, so I remember it so clearly. ”

"I didn't see him. Lan asked puzzled. Conan was already snickering, he thought back to that time, and thought of a situation that was indeed funny.

"About an hour later, he came back, but instead of drinking, he hurried home, and I didn't know what had happened, but I just noticed that his right eye was swollen. Miyamoto Miko continued.

"Huh?" Lan was taken aback.

"The next day, I heard a rumor that last night, there was a voyeur with a quirk who haunted Didan Elementary School, but this person was not very lucky, and he actually found the women's karate club, so he was severely taught a lesson by the coach of the karate club who had not yet returned. Miyako Miyamoto said with a smile.

"Huh?" Lan shouted, incredulously, "how could this be. She remembered that the coach did shout "Who?" that night and chased out, but came back after a while, and it seemed that there were such rumors at that time, or did the garden say it, but how could it be Dad?

"Hah......" Miyakoto Miyako laughed, "I guessed at that time, it must be Maori who was looking at you and was discovered by your coach, and then Maori was embarrassed to be known by you, so he was ready to wait for the coach to come over and explain it in a whisper." Who knew that the coach ran over, didn't say a word, punched and hit, and didn't give Maori a chance to speak at all. At that time, Maori should have blocked the coach's punch first, and then was about to speak to explain clearly, but when he relaxed for a while, he was stolen by the coach and punched in the right eye, and then maybe the two of them made a few more moves, or Maori ran away. ”

"Poof," Lan himself smiled, thinking about the scene that night, and then said, "I should have just run away, and the coach came back soon, and he didn't look like he had ever fought." ”

"So you know. Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "Watching TV in the office shouldn't let you see his right eye, and the next day it should be looking for a place to reduce the swelling, and by the way, I avoided you, and on the third day, after the swelling couldn't be seen, I told you that it was allergies, and I hid it." ”

"Hmm!" Lan nodded, then said, "Why is he like this?"

"Why else," Miyakoto said with a smile, "I'm shy, I'm sorry, and at the same time I'm trying to save face." ”

"This, it looks like this. Ranto thought about it as he spoke, and then asked, "Then why did Dad never ask me why I came home late, what I went to do, what I did at school?"

"Ran, do you remember how many times you went home late?" Miyakoto asked rhetorically.

"There have been many times, I have participated in club activities, gone shopping, gone out to the movies, and gone out to play. Lan replied.

Miyako Miyamoto said. "Let's not talk about participating in club activities, you went home late because of club activities that time, and at other times, there is nothing to worry him about. As for going out at night......"

Lan interjected, "Why, I was only in my teens at the time? I walked alone at night, isn't he worried?"

Miyamoto Miko laughed and said, "Have you forgotten that thanks to the blessing of our stupid daughter, in those years, from our house to the school, the security of that large area was the best in the capital, and this matter was even in the newspapers." At that time, especially the girls who were about the same age as her and wore the same school uniform, those people couldn't hide yet, how could it be dangerous. ”

Conan nodded, he felt that Miyako Miyamoto was too modest, even if Midaiko was no longer out now, the current security was not bad. Now Mei Daizi's sphere of influence is not only the scope of the school, but it has expanded to almost the entire range of Rice Flower Town in recent years, and now in addition to some adults, there are some wandering criminals, other delinquent teenagers, and local ruffians, most of them have been 'punished', or are on the way to 'be favored'.

"Ahh

"Come to think of it, he didn't need to worry about it at all. As for going out shopping, watching movies, and playing at night," Miyako Miyamoto thought for a moment and continued to explain, "At first, it was the doctor, me, your mother, and by the way, Shinichi's mother went with me, well, the mother of the garden rarely comes out, and with us here, what does your father have to worry about." As for the time when you are older and you can go by yourself, this is the growth process that everyone has to go through, and you can't not let go because you are worried, so as long as you say the time and place where you want to go, as long as it is not too much, then your father will let you go even if he is worried. And whether it's participating in club activities or going out, you don't come back very late, and when you exceed the scheduled time a lot, this doesn't give your dad a chance to worry that you will have an accident, so even if he is worried, he will not be discovered. ”

"That's true. Lan thought carefully and replied.

"Oh, by the way," Miyakoto Miyako looked at Lan again and smiled, "Another time, when you went to the movies alone with Shinichi at night, and you were only ten minutes late, your father went out to look for you, and he came back after you came back." Conan had another toothache when he heard this.

"Aunt Miko!" Lan shouted embarrassedly, and immediately changed the subject, "Then why didn't he ask me what I did at school?"

"You don't need to ask about that," Miyamoto said with a smile, "and with the big speaker in the garden and the little microphone of Mei Daiko, your father can't find out anything." Then he sighed, "Speaking of which, Mei Daizi will become a small microphone, and your father's credit is not small." ”

"Then, that time, why didn't he ask?" Lan asked rhetorically, a little disbelieving.

Mimiko Miyamoto laughed and said: "God knows that kind of thing will happen to you in school hide and seek, and you are all back, of course your father just knows the general content and is too lazy to ask, this kind of thing is held in your heart, who knows." ”

"Oh, I see. Lan understood, it turned out that her father didn't care about her, but the way she cared was misunderstood by her.

Thinking about what Lan said just now, Mimiko Miyamoto took Lan in her arms again, touched Lan's hair, and said: "Lan Ke is a good boy, at that time, he would buy his own vegetables and cook for his father, and after eating at my place at night, he had to go back to clean up the house and office that was messed up by your stupid father, where did he have so much time to go out and play." Later, he took care of the house, inside and out, in an orderly manner, not losing to others at all, and your mother said that you were better than her. Such a good daughter, how could your father not care. ”

"Mommy......" Lan muttered.

"If you think about it, go find her," Miyamoto continued, "and she doesn't live far away, so you can just go." If you really can't do it, just say that I sent you, and she will receive you no matter how busy she is. ”

"Hmm!" Lan replied quietly.

Mimiko Miyamoto was like this, quietly hugging Ran, and after a while, "Ah Sneeze", Conan couldn't help but sneeze. Mimiko Miyamoto patted Ran on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, okay." Let's go, we're going to catch a cold if we stay any longer. ”

"Good!" Lan said shyly.

On the way back, Miyakoto Miyako asked again, "Were you thinking about Shinichi just now?"

"Ah, Aunt Miko, do you know where Shinichi is?" Lan asked hurriedly.

"He seems to have gone abroad," Miyamoto Miko thought for a moment and said, "Yamazaki's report was sent in the evening, and he was asked to leave and lost contact for the time being, but there should be news soon, so you don't have to worry." Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can I go and see that report?" Lan asked cautiously.

Miyamoto Miko smiled and said, "Of course," Kanlan laughed and added, "But you have to help." "Conan thought to himself, you still remember this.
