Chapter 12: The Prologue to Dorobica

Standing at the entrance of the crowded Dorobiga Playground, Toru Amamiya watched the colorful balloons collide in the air, and his ears were filled with the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

The child held the hand of the adult with candy, the couple fed the people around him fresh dog food, and the strange uncle who passed by covered his face with his hat.

Everyone is happy, but the hustle and bustle is theirs, and Toru Amamiya has nothing.

Toru Amamiya thought about it for a long time, but in the end he still didn't figure out why he agreed to Kotoko Iwanaga's invitation to come to the playground with him.

Did you have a brain pump? This will make it seem that your previous refusal is very insincere!

When I woke up, Toru Amamiya, who had lost the state of mind of last night, expressed complete incomprehension of myself who agreed to the invitation yesterday.

But now that he has come out, there is no need for him to find any reason or excuse to escape.

Toru Amamiya let Kotoko Iwanaga hold his hand with a heavy face, trying to play his role today.

Today, Kotoko Iwanaga looks like she has dressed herself, wearing a light white shirt with a lace neckline, a simple and retro black bib skirt, white stockings, and small leather shoes with a round toe.

She wears the same white beret as usual, and looks like some aristocratic lady of the old days.

Toru Amamiya has hardly seen Kotoko Iwanaga have any repetitive dressing, should I say that she is worthy of being a noble lady? There are indeed enough clothes.

Beautiful girls with beautiful clothes really attract the attention of passers-by, that is, Iwanaga Kotoko herself, she is indeed a little too small.

Coupled with today's overly lively performance of Kotoko Iwanaga, most passers-by look at Kotoko Iwanaga with the eyes of a beautiful child who is spoiled.

"Archer, come over here!"

Kotoko Iwanaga pulled a corner of Toru Amamiya's clothes as if she declared her sovereignty.

It's just that no matter how you look at it, these two look more like big brothers who come out with their younger sisters to play.

It's only two years apart, so it looks like Toru Amamiya has committed a crime.

Looking at the couples around him, the instinct brought by being single for a long time made Toru Amamiya subconsciously want to escape from this place where the concentration of dog food was obviously excessive.

But as soon as he looked down, he saw that Kotoko Iwanaga was seriously analyzing one project after another in the playground with her eyes.

Oh, although it is very likely that it is only a limited-time experience card, but now, I can also be regarded as half a cash charge?

All right!

You may have to worry about whether you will be treated as a copper smelting pervert by the police passing by and then handcuffed and taken away.

Maintaining the inherent dress of Toru Amamiya's identity, the black hair tied into a ponytail swayed behind his head, and the hustle and bustle and tranquility around him made Toru Amamiya unconsciously feel that it was not bad.

It's just that the next moment he immediately came back to his senses, how could he have such a peace?

Toru Amamiya was a little silent, but soon this silence was drowned out by the cute action of Kotoko Iwanaga dragging the corners of his clothes and dangling them.

"Archer, shall we go play this?"

Kotoko Iwanaga pointed to the huge roller coaster, and with Toru Amamiya's ears, she could easily hear the ghosts and wolves of the tourists on the ride.

Toru Amamiya tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Is it really okay for you to do this? I'm afraid that if your family finds out about me taking their precious daughter to play with such a dangerous thing, they will ask the shark to kill them. ”

Toru Amamiya began to think seriously about how he could solve the problem as quickly as possible without revealing his identity if there was really a shark hand to darken the shark himself.

Where should I go? Toru Amamiya observes his surroundings, and the instincts brought about by his shark life allow him to bring the situation into the situation a little more thoroughly.

When a man goes out on a date, it seems that all he has in mind is this strange style of painting?

"Well, they don't know about me, don't you know? I'm so brave! ”

"If Archer is scared then, he can naturally lean on my body, I don't mind this behavior at all!"

Kotoko Iwanaga began to daydream.

"But isn't there a safety buckle on the roller coaster? How do I lie on top of you? ”

Toru Amamiya ruthlessly shreds her fantasies.

Kotoko Iwanaga looked left and right, watching other people's couples holding hands and lining up with their fingers interlocked, and suddenly became dissatisfied with Toru Amamiya's behavior of holding the corner of the clothes by yourself.

She bravely held one of Amamiya's hands, rubbed it affectionately, and hugged it in her arms.

It's a girl's gentle heart (glad)!

But nothing feels (alas).

Toru Amamiya glanced at the eyes of the tourists around him who were gradually becoming wrong, and pretended to be calm and pulled Kotoko Iwanaga towards the queue of the roller coaster.

"Hey, Archer, why don't you speak?"

Kotoko Iwanaga asked cutely, her eyes flashing with wisdom.

“…… Didn't you see that I was mistaken by passers-by for a pervert of copper smelting again? ”

“???”

Toru Amamiya doesn't want to continue this topic, because there really isn't a good solution to this problem, can it be that he learns gin to solve all the passers-by?

It's impossible for him to use a spell to put a prosthetic leg on Kotoko Iwanaga to increase her height......

It doesn't seem impossible, it's just that the materials needed to increase the height of the prosthetic leg are more troublesome, but you can also collect a little in case you need it.

Toru Amamiya indifferently continued to think about the mess, and then indifferently hoped that this gaze would be reduced a little.

This will affect the fame of his vest!

And his vest is more or less a public figure, and it will be even worse if he is in the media.

While absent-mindedly letting Kotoko Iwanaga lead, Amamiya, who began to simulate the future drill of the situation, noticed two familiar figures at the front of the team.

Yesterday's ...... The detective? And his girlfriend?

How did you meet them again?

"Shinichi, look, it's the detective who solved the case before you yesterday."

The guy who seemed to be Shinichi Kudo seemed to be tirelessly talking to the girl next to him, and the girl listened with an embarrassed but polite smile.

It was precisely because of this embarrassment and politeness that she saw Toru Amamiya and his party a little faster than Shinichi Kudo, who was obsessed with telling detective stories.

"And the little girl who looks like his girlfriend?"

Xiaolan looked at Kotoko Iwanaga, who was rubbing Toru Amamiya's arm affectionately, and was silent for a second or two.

Although yesterday this little girl introduced herself and said that she is already a high school student who is about the same age as them.

Besides, it is also a very normal thing for girls of this age to fall in love, and Xiaolan feels that she should not make a fuss.

However, she still felt so strange to see Mr. Amamiya being so intimate with her, just like Mr. Amamiya was a pervert who smelted copper.

Xiaolan was in a complicated mood on the side, and Kudo Shinichi, who had always been straight, obviously didn't have so many complex mental activities, and he didn't even care about the almost weird gazes around Toru Amamiya.

He directly beckoned to Toru Amamiya.

"Hey, that guy named Toru meets again!"

Then he looked at the two of them holding hands and looking intimate, although his keen eyes made him see Toru Amamiya's helplessness.

But......

"You're out today, on a date?"

"Are you sure that if you fall in love with a junior high school student, you won't be arrested by the police?"

Kudo Shinichi looked shocked.
