For a little Karasuma who has been following the boy to the crime scene for several years, has investigated all kinds of different cases, has seen all kinds of different people in society, and has felt the darkness of all kinds of human nature.

At only 19 years old, she has actually accumulated quite a lot of social experience, such as the experience of dealing with the world, the way she sees people, the way she thinks about things, and so on......

It can be said that at least in these aspects, Kokarasuma can almost be said to be a "dimensionality reduction blow" to those classmates in her school, and the two are not at the same level at all.

Although Keiko Hatoyama and the boy still habitually regard Karasuma as an immature "little sister", in fact, Karasuma looks at his classmates at school and probably has a similar mentality.

It's an instinctive idea, not a deliberate attempt by Karasuma to use it.

To give one of the most vivid examples, for example, in the past few years, Kokarsuma has often accompanied the boy who went around to investigate the case.

In the past case investigations, Karasuma has long been accustomed to the boy's capable and decisive style, and is accustomed to the boy's excellent character of being able to think calmly and carefully find a solution no matter what crisis he encounters.

The image of the boy was also deeply reflected in Kokarasuma's heart, and she instinctively had an idea in her heart, that is, a person like a boy is a standard to measure "ordinary", and only if it is better than a boy, then it can be called excellent.

When Karasuma brings this standard into school, on her naïve classmates who don't have much life experience, it naturally bothers her.

On the one hand, there is an excellent young police officer who is close to him, and on the other hand, there is a naughty classmate who frolicks all day long and wants to tease you at every turn, which will inadvertently form a kind of gap in Kokarasuma's heart.

Especially when these classmates go off the beaten path, trying to attract her attention and win her favor by using all kinds of methods that seem childish to Karasuma, the troubles in her heart will only get deeper.

Originally, he just wanted to divert Karasuma's attention from himself, but this turned out to bother Keiko Hatoyama.

Because she thinks that the reason for Karasuma's mentality is also a part of her that she can't shirk.

"Just、Even if I want to fall in love, I must find someone who is not so naïve, to find, to find a ...... who can understand me and can be with me all day long"

Not knowing what Keiko Hatoyama was thinking at this time, Kokarsuma suddenly changed his face to a blushing and shy expression, and said in a low voice.

When she said this, the girl's expression was a little dazed, and she seemed to have fallen into some kind of beautiful fantasy.

Looking at her appearance, Keiko Hatoyama didn't know what she had guessed, and a narrow smile gradually appeared on her somewhat pale face.

"For example?" Instantly throwing away the guilt in her heart, she leaned over and whispered in Kokarasuma's ear.

"At least you'll have to be better than the wooden man......"

Karasuma spoke without thinking, his brain still immersed in the fantasy of his own bright future.

Perhaps in her opinion, the boy is the best person in the world.

"No, that wooden man is too powerful, smart as a ghost, it's too difficult to find someone more powerful than him, and marriage or something, it's actually nothing to be a little worse in these aspects......

The main thing is to be able to understand each other, tolerate each other, be considerate and gentle, not machismo, feel that what men should do, women can only do, if there are any difficulties in life, we husband and wife should discuss together and get through the difficulties together.

Then we have the same interests, we can go together if there is anything we want to play and where we want to go, and we can have a lot of common topics with each other, and we will never get tired of it......

Housework is also done by us together, not to discuss who is responsible for and who will clean it, but we do it together, work together, and have fun together......

There is also the matter of having children, we will definitely have two children at that time, one is a boy and one is a girl, so that we can enjoy the happiness of raising a boy and a girl, hehehe......

Ah, but when the children grow up, they will definitely leave home, so when these two children are about the same age, we will have another child, and then our husband and wife will definitely not be young, the home is deserted, and there can be a little cutie to accompany us......"

"I see, I see."

After quietly listening to Kokarasuma's beautiful vision for her future life, Keiko Hatoyama nodded vigorously, and at the same time deliberately raised her voice a little, pulling Kokarasuma's consciousness out of her fantasies.

"Huh? Babble—"

Suspiciously, he winked at Keiko Hatoyama, who was smiling, and then realized what he had just said, and suddenly screamed and hurriedly took a few steps back, and then sat back on the ground with an unsteady step.

[I—What did I just say?! 】

"Sister Keiko! You're ...... I—I just ......"

"What's wrong? Suddenly such a panicked expression? ”

Keiko Hatoyama squatted down, tilted her head, and looked at Karasuma's panicked pale little face with a smile.

"Sitting on the ground so unfiguratively, this is not what a virtuous and good wife should do~"

As she spoke, Keiko Hatoyama imitated her appearance just now, closed her eyes, folded her hands, and said in a very exaggerated tone:

"Ah~ My future husband must be a gentle and considerate perfect man~ Ah~ I'm going to give him three children~Ah~ Our family of five will definitely ......"

"Whoa, whoa—"

Reason returned to zero, and Karasuma was ridiculed and waved his hands and feet on the ground, and finally jumped up on the spot with a red face and fled at the speed of light.

"Sister Keiko, I hate you!"

"Huh? Watch your step, don't run around with your head held high......"

In this extremely embarrassing situation, Kokarasuma at this time didn't notice the apology that flashed in the depths of Hatoyama Keiko's eyes.

[I'm sorry......]

There was a moment of gloom in her expression, and a smile appeared on Keiko Hatoyama's face again.

"Okay~ Don't run away, Sister Keiko won't say it......"

With that, she got up from the ground, shouting as she tried to catch up with the little Karasuma running in front of her.

"It's not a bad thing that can't be said, it's better to say, Sister Keiko, I'm still very envious of you, Kokarsuma, you can have such a ...... about your future."

"Boom!"

"Can't hear it, can't hear it! I can't hear anything! ”

Karasuma lowered his head and covered his ears, completely ignoring the voices behind him, and raced all the way until he finally came to a stop against the wall after running around the corner at the end of this hallway.

"Whew...... Whew......"

It was only then that her overloaded brain barely calmed down, and she raised her hand and patted her cheek, which was almost red, and then exhaled deeply.

"Sister Keiko is really, she likes to use these to tease me, hmph, wait a minute, I'll find a chance to tease me back in the future......"

muttered in a low voice, and Kokarsuma noticed that there was no longer Keiko Hatoyama's voice behind him.

So she turned around and walked around the corner behind her, crossed her hands on her hips, deliberately turned her head, and said in an arrogant tone:

"Let's talk about it first, you can't tell anyone about Sister Keiko I just mentioned! It's anyone! Otherwise, I will ignore your ...... in the future!" ”

At this point, Karasuma's voice came to an abrupt end.

The look on her face froze at this moment, and she froze in place, her pupils constricted, and she looked at the floor in the corridor in front of her in disbelief.

Keiko Hatoyama fell there.
