Shinichi Kudo, who walked out of the lookout restaurant, also pressed his completely red face, and for a while he was about to be unable to tell whether the effect of the medicine had recurred.

Xiao Lan's appearance of what he had just said was replayed in his mind over and over again, and he walked out of the door of the restaurant, walking faster and faster, and finally running.

Since he became smaller, he seemed to be cursed by fate, and it seemed that he had finally been favored by Lady Luck, and the thread of fate hung down on him.

It was a night to remember, to be celebrated, to be joyful, to let out irrepressible cheers.

But until then, he's going to see what happens to the guy who gave him this miracle.

Because of Maoliran's unexpected answer, the 20 minutes in Joker's mouth took only half the time.

That's not bad, if the joker really has a problem, the body that belongs to an adult will definitely be more convenient to rescue him than the body of a child.

Thinking so, he pushed the security door open.

————

“…… What an astonishing spectacle. ”

"Gee, I just tried it, and I didn't expect this to happen."

"Don't talk nonsense, try to see why you carry a needle with you? I guess I had planned it for a long time. ”

"Well...... this"

Untying the scarf wrapped around Tang Ze's shoulders so that he could raise his arm, Gray Yuan took out a special needle with a grim face and skillfully changed it: "Stretch out your hand." ”

"Hey, it hurts a child's hand to pierce it." Seeing that the tiny needle was not in the vein, relying on the fact that he was still a child, Tang Ze blinked innocently, trying to get by.

He wasn't wrong with the needle, but he forgot to think about the problem of small blood vessels after becoming a child.

Not to mention the difficulty of changing into a child's body to draw blood from your own arm.

Fortunately, after all, he and Kudo Shinichi's Gray Plains were on standby near the lookout restaurant, and Tang Ze, who had confirmed Belmode's departure, hurriedly called a wave of reinforcements.

"If you know that you have this plan, I will not agree with your plan in the first place." Gray Yuanai, who was immune to Tang Ze's cute attack, mercilessly pumped a whole tube of blood out, "After all, this is a drug with completely unknown side effects, and no one knows how much burden it will have on the body if it suddenly becomes bigger and smaller." ”

According to her idea, as a drug developer, she is obliged to solve the mess she has left behind, and the real testing of drugs should be placed on her.

However, she promised Tang Ze that she couldn't test the medicine by herself privately, and her sister would keep an eye on her situation every day, so she didn't have a chance to try it secretly, and as a result, she couldn't even grasp the time when Kudo would take the short-term antidote this time......

Trouble guy.

"Now that the situation is good, it's fine." Obediently took the cotton ball handed over by Gray Yuanai, and finally got Tang Ze, who was almost untied to the cloth, out of the pile of scarves, and stretched his hands and feet twice, "Whew, the child's body is not as weak as I imagined." ”

I thought that if he became seven or eight years old, even if he was a heart thief whose body had been strengthened, he would inevitably face a decline in strength and a decrease in physical strength, but Tang Ze took a closer look and found that he didn't even have any changes in his blood bar.

It's true that there is a lack of fine muscle control than before, but if you concentrate, you can also exert 80% or 90% of your strength.

Put the needle away in the bag he carried, and when Gray Yuan heard this, he moved.

“…… Are you saying that even with your current body, you can exert the power of your adult state? Her eyes widened slightly at the thought of something.

"Well, even if it's a little different from the perfect state, it's definitely not a power that belongs to a seven- or eight-year-old child, right?" Tang Ze said, reaching out and grabbing the iron rod of the handrail staircase on his side, and slowly exerting force.

The metal railing slowly bent under the shocked gaze of Gray Plains.

After repeated training and strengthening, coupled with the improvement of physical fitness, Tang Ze has now firmly crossed the level line of Maolilan in terms of strength alone, and it is not a problem to perform some physical wonders.

"So the conclusion is that you and Kudo were like this before they became children." Breaking back the railing that had been broken and deformed by himself, Tang Ze spread his hands easily.

So, Conan and Gray Plains will be so much like children, mainly because they are two little crispy.

Thinking about it, this can also be seen just by looking at Conan's completely unscientific running speed and physical strength, coupled with the recovery ability of the two of them after injury.

Gray Yuan, who was in shock, didn't care about Tang Ze's complaint about her inattentiveness at all, she held her head and fell into another shock.

“…… Using APTX to change your youthful state is not a real return to the past. Can't really go back in time! ”

Raising her head suddenly, she looked at the 7-year-old version of Tang Ze, who was dressed in black and white hair, and was still in a state of strange thieves, and held the other party's round face that was now full of baby fat, and there was real joy on her face.

"I see! No wonder they want to study cognitive hexology. ”

No matter how hard the soul is already decayed, no matter how hard it tries to pile gold and jade on the shell, it cannot change its essence.

"That's why Belmode is constantly undergoing drug trials, that's why she's a rotten golden apple. In other words, we just need to ......! ”

Tang Ze, who understood that his sister was excited at the moment, symbolically struggled twice, and did not stop her from almost pressing her face into deformation.

Just as she was about to listen to her explain her new discovery in detail, Tang Ze, whose eyes swept over the minimap, interrupted her in alarm.

"Shhhh

————

"Squeak-squeak-"

The door to the safe passage, which is closed all year round and is not used frequently, is obviously not carefully maintained, and Kudo Shinichi, who pushed the door hard, trembled his eardrums.

As a result, he failed to capture the last words of his interlocutors.

After his eyes adjusted to the darkened environment, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but be stunned.

A child in blue was standing in the middle of the corridor holding the face of a white-haired boy with both hands.

The little boy in white hair and black clothes, looking at what he was wearing, was clearly Joker himself, and the messy fabric scattered on the ground seemed to explain his missing scarf.

- Joker really, turned into a child for him.

Even a time-bound change is shocking enough.

And the other, who is obviously disguised into Conan's gray plain, probably didn't worry that his medicinal effect would expire soon, and ran here to check the situation.

He understands the reason, but this scene, no matter how you look at it, is Conan bullying little joker, so that he doesn't know what to say when he pushes open the door and breaks this scene.

“…… Ashbara, you ......" Turning his head, looking at Ashbara who was pinching other people's faces against his face, Kudo Shin stopped for a moment and said carefully, "You shouldn't be ......"

You can't be that kind of person, that is, a weird sister who likes children very much, right? Lori is too control.。

If you think about it carefully, Gray Yuan really stays like a fish in water at school, and I like to stick with Ayumi or something.

Hey, so, you will participate in the research and development APTX4869, is it because ......

"What kind of faux pas are you thinking!" Feeling a strange gaze on Kudo Shinichi's face, Gray Yuan Ai quickly let go of his hand and turned his head to glare at the guy who broke through the door, "I just, I found him, and I made sure if it was some boring kid playing cosplay......"

"Puff ......" and asked Tang Ze, who was being killed, couldn't hold back and let out a sneer.

"You're embarrassed to laugh, you can explain what the situation is now!"

"Gray Plains, you stomp your feet with your fists like a little girl in my look, it looks really strange......"

"Shut up for me, too!"

————

"So, the situation now is that Miss Maolilan knows, but not completely, and she's not prepared to force you to explain everything. And joker used some special means to transfer the A drug on your body for a short period of twenty minutes, right? ”

Giving up the scarf to save himself, Tang Ze, who was sitting directly on the messy pile of wool, raised his hand and added in a crisp childlike voice, "This ability can not only be effective on Kudo, if you are interested, I can also let you temporarily change back for a while, Miss Miyano." ”

“…… I'm not interested in changing to die in pain once. Turning his head with a straight face, Gray Yuan took off the glasses on his face, "I basically understand the situation, I will spend time studying it later." However, your time is still running out of Kudo. I'll go and change my clothes for you. ”

"Oh good, thank you ......"

Seeing Gray Yuan Ai walking to the bathroom with his schoolbag, Kudo Shinichi turned his head and looked at the juvenile version of Joker, not knowing where to start for a while.

"You've changed back to like this, and your clothes unexpectedly fit well." Having nothing to say, he first commented on Joker's appearance at the moment.

Compared with a full white suit, the elegant and casual style of the monster thief Kidd, in fact, Joker's monster thief outfit is a bit peculiar in his opinion.

Even if you can't see each other's faces, it is not difficult to tell that Joker is about 20 years old young man based on various aspects such as height and voice.

It's normal for a 20-year-old man to wear a suit like Kidd, and wearing knee-length shorts and stockings is a little weirdly subtle, not to mention a scarf that is out of season with the clothes on the lower body.

If he hadn't known that Joker's strange thief state was likely to be a manifestation of some of his abilities, he would have questioned the other party's peculiar aesthetics.

To put it simply, you're really a bit too two-dimensional.jpg

But when he became a child, Joker's outfit has become much more pleasing to the eye, like a slightly exaggerated style of gothic children's clothing.

That's right, he actually doesn't know the specific origin of Joker, maybe the other party awakened his strength at the age of seven or eight, resulting in his personal "image" being fixed at this age, and he can only be forced to wear children's clothes for a lifetime?

"I don't think you're going to be polite right now." Raising his eyebrows, Tang Ze shrugged, "But it seems that my kindness is indeed a little redundant." Your prince is more discerning than you and I think, and even if you don't have a crystal slipper, you can recognize the dusty Cinderella. ”

…… It's over, joker is like this to say fairy tales, inexplicably more appropriate.

Kudo Shinichi suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and thanked him again seriously: "It's one thing whether Xiaolan needs to listen to my confession, and whether I want to tell her or not is what I should do." Thank you still for your help. ”

"Grown, Detective." Joker tilted his head, a smile on the lower half of his face, revealing two small tiger teeth, "However, instead of thanking me, you should thank Miss Lan." It was you who helped you, and I just did a little bit for you. ”

Oops, more appropriate.

Could it be that joker has really been on the lookout for monster thieves since he was in elementary school, right? That's really ......

Kudo Shinichi, whose thoughts were completely deviated, coughed twice and turned his head: "Well, in short, thank you, blame the thief." If there's anything you need my help with in the future......"

"If you have to help, then please trust yourself a little more." Tang Ze, who felt another heartbeat that began to speed up again, and understood that time had entered the countdown, bent his eyes, "I'm just a butterfly flapping my wings, without your heartfelt recognition and change, my efforts won't have any effect." ”

Today's world has undergone many changes, and there are more and more deviations from the plot he is familiar with.

Is this the power of Karasaw? Yes, definitely.

But he prefers to believe that the helpers he has chosen possess enough good qualities that he may have influenced them, but he has not fundamentally changed the personality of the other person.

He is just a butterfly that sets off the breeze, attracted by the brilliant spring, and becomes a part of the spring.

It's the scenery he likes, these people, and his friends.

What does it mean to trust yourself a little more?

Feeling the familiar pain coming, Shinichi Kudo, whose vision was a little blurred, was unable to open his mouth and ask in detail.

Perhaps it was forcibly affected by Joker's intervention, but this change happened very quickly, making him unable to pay attention to the other party's words anymore.

But this time, when he lost his strength and fell to the ground, Kudo Shinichi's heart was much calmer.

Even if the shadow of APTX and the tissue is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, entangled in him and refusing to disappear in the slightest, he now has a light of his own.

Not enough to light up the whole dark night, but it can dispel the cold and fear for him.

Let him wait until dawn.

"Sister Xiaolan......"

"Conan, you're here." Handing the menu to the waiter waiting behind him, Mao Lilan looked at the little boy who walked to the table, and smiled at him, "I haven't eaten yet, are you hungry?" Gave you some new orders. ”

As she spoke, she pushed the frosted cake on the table in the opposite direction, motioning for the other party to eat the dessert that had been neglected for a long time.

"I love this cake, it's delicious. Your new brother is not blessed to eat, so you can eat it for him. ”

Conan, who was still a little hesitant to talk to Mao Lilan, scratched his head, looked at the girl across the table for a while with her usual face, and slowly climbed into the chair.

The seat that was just right for him with a large size was replaced by the current one, and he had to use both hands and feet to climb up.

As he climbed, Conan sighed secretly.

Eating with the girl you like, eating and eating turned into a warm parent-child meal scene......

He understands the reason, but it's still hard to think about it.

"Well, if you pay the bill, the credit card is here......" Pulling out the card belonging to Yusaku Kudo, Conan put it on the edge of the table, considering whether to be cheeky or not, and said "left by Brother Shinichi".

Maolilan's previous words meant to keep a tacit state, pretend that nothing had happened, and let him still stay at her house as Conan as normal.

But the thought that Maolilan had seen through his identity, and that he had to pretend that he was two different people, made his scalp tingle with embarrassment.

has never been a detective of the onion man, and his face is still relatively thin.

"Your new brother left, right? Put it here. Mao Lilan nodded calmly and took the initiative to take over the conversation, "I don't have a weak heart when I use it, a certain reasoning freak can't find a figure as soon as he runs away, obviously he invited him to dinner." I ordered you a grilled lamb chop, and if it's not enough, we'll add a little more. ”

Mao Lilan, who has been doing psychological construction for several days, now has a bit of a thought.

Compared with the identity of Conan and Shinichi, she cares more about the safety of the other party, as well as the deception and concealment of her.

No matter how seamless a lie is, it is also a lie, which is why she felt angry at the beginning, so much so that she couldn't restrain herself from going downstairs to block Tang Ze.

After thinking about this, coupled with Kudo Shinichi's active and honest actions, the obstacles in her heart have basically been crossed now.

Some force majeure is force majeure because it is not subject to the will of the individual.

And what she can do is really try her best to pretend that nothing happened, so that no one else will doubt Conan's identity.

…… Having said that, isn't this guy's acting skills a little too perfunctory? An ordinary first-grade elementary school student would have such a precocious mental state, not only did his face not change when he saw the corpse, but he could even come forward to smell if he had died of cyanide?

The deception is so perfunctory, which is also a reason for her displeasure.

Damn fellow, he has encountered so many dangers without authorization, and to this day, he still looks like he is completely reckless......

"Well, isn't it a little ......" Conan shrunk his neck.

"What, think it's expensive?" Maolilan raised her eyelids and looked at him silently.

"No, no, no ......" Conan waved his hand again and again, feeling that Xiaolan, who had seen through the truth, seemed to be more difficult to deal with than in the past.

Raising his eyebrows, Mao Lilan picked up a piece of fruit and bit it, and said to himself: "Seriously recall, I seem to have taken you to a bath, let you sleep on my bed because you are young, and even hugged you on the bus or something...... Well, now think about ......"

Conan, who began to sweat when he arrived: "......"

"Sure enough, no matter how you think about it, it's still a little angry when I think of someone who likes to say goodbye without saying goodbye."

"Little, Sister Xiaolan......"

"Waiter, give me another menu. Add two more ice creams. ”

"Would you like to try this ice cream platter, miss? It's very popular, and today there was a table of customers who ordered four portions of this ice cream alone. ”

"Looks good...... Let's have two servings. ”

"Sister Xiaolan, it's not good to eat so much ice cream at such a late hour......"

"Oh, too, it's not good for a child to eat so much. It's okay, just watch me eat. ”

"Sister Xiaolan!"
