Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

It was not until a few seconds before Kidd came back with the balloon that Yun Xianhe slowly closed the notebook and put away the pen.

"Give."

"Thank you kiddy——"

"Really? Why on earth did you give me such a name?"

Kidd handed the balloon to Yun Xianhe and only let go after making sure that the other party had grabbed it, then complained helplessly.

Then he rubbed his chin and reflected:

"Is it because I have shown my immaturity in front of you?"

"No, you are always as handsome as ever every time you appear in front of me!"

"Then you call me kiddy?"

"Because it's cute."

"..."

Kidd can confirm it.

Speaking of strange habits, Yun Xianhe definitely has some.

And it's worse than his.

This habit is to treat everyone as a child!

Looking at the man who seemed to radiate an inexplicable kindness, Kidd shook his head violently.

No, if I keep watching, I’m going to see the other person as an old grandfather.

"Thank you for your notebook. I left you some interesting things in it. You can read it when you get back."

Kidd, who was about to open it to take a look, heard this and obediently put the notebook away.

Yun Xianhe was struggling with the string on the balloon.

The long string was carefully wrapped around the paper several times and then tied into a knot.

Vision Kitty Kidd was trying hard to suppress the smile on his face as he played with a ball of yarn.

After coughing lightly, he looked at Yun Xianhe who let go of the balloon and asked curiously:

"What wish did you make?"

"Won't it be useless if you tell me?"

"That's true. Now, close your eyes and stretch out your hand."

"Huh? What to do?"

"Don't worry about it, hurry up."

Yun Xianhe, not knowing what was going on, raised his eyebrows but still did as he was told.

A small force wrapped around my wrist.

"All right!"

Yun Xianhe opened his eyes and looked directly at the balloon that had not yet taken off.

The blue balloon was caught in the hand of the Phantom Thief.

There is also a cartoon bear holding a small flower printed on it.

The Phantom Thief smiled brightly, like a child showing off his treasure, and asked while shaking the balloon in his hand:

"Does this count as fulfilling both of your wishes?"

“Pfft, hahaha! OK!”

"Hmm--quick-witted as I am."

"As expected of you!"

After making sure that the balloon's rope was firmly tied to Yun Xianhe's wrist, Kidd released his hand.

Yun Xianhe moved his wrist and saw the little bear holding the flower twist his body as he wished.

The brave man in a good mood narrowed his eyes:

"Sure enough, I should treat you to a barbecue to celebrate!"

"Maybe—a midnight snack?"

"Let's go!"

The two of them walked arm in arm, found a restaurant, and had a good meal.

Just when the brave man and the thief were happily eating.

Cloud House.

Toru Amuro couldn't hold on any longer after failing to wait for the other party to come back.

"I want to go back."

Zhu Fujingguang, who almost fell asleep on the table, rubbed his brows and said in a hoarse voice:

"Now?"

"I have a feeling he won't be back tonight, and there's no point in waiting any longer."

Amuro Toru said this somewhat helplessly.

I really hope that guy will appear in front of him right now, so that he can punch him hard! ,……

Forget it, you can’t be violent towards children.

The man who had taken the coat from the hanger paused at the thought.

...Could that guy have lied about his age?

…Probably not.

After all, even if he really lied, the other person didn't look like an adult.

Is it a human skin mask?

Toru Amuro, who was thinking about all sorts of things, stood there in a daze.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who followed, handed the scarf draped over the sofa to the other party:

"Here, don't forget it. When he comes back tomorrow, I'll help you ask those questions."

"Oh, ok, thanks, Hiro."

"No need to be so polite."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Amuro Toru looked at the man who seemed to have dark circles under his eyes and said angrily:

"Don't wait for that guy, just go and rest."

He's such a grown-up, there's no way he'd get lost.

What's more, the other party said last night - don't wait for him.

Can't wait.

Suddenly remembering this, Toru Amuro recalled the two hours he had spent here and laughed out loud.

"I always feel like I'm asking for trouble..."

"Zero?"

"Don't wait any longer. Didn't he say that last night? You can't wait any longer. ... I'm going back."

The closed door interrupted the lingering sound.

Zhu Fu Jingguang stood silently at the entrance, carefully recalling what Yun Xianhe said when he came back drunk last night.

[“We don’t seem to define the word ‘home’ as a ‘fixed residence’. Generally speaking, home is where a person is.”]

"...But, didn't you say there was no one left?"

If no one can be called a family, there is no such thing as a home.

Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly remembered 01.

The one who looks cold.

Although they had only met once, Zhu Fu Jingguang unexpectedly remembered him.

It was probably because the other party's strong desire to protect Yun Xianhe was a little scary...

In the empty house,

The assistant who was left alone sighed briefly, and suddenly revealed a relaxed smile:

"But this is fine."

At least that child still has someone who loves him and someone who will always be there for him.

"I just don't know why I haven't seen it before..."

Could it be related to what Zero said last night, about Gin's return?

Could it be...

[It is detected that your friend, Toru Amuro, is standing on the opposite street. 】

[The other person seems to be staring at you. ]

[Warning, the other party's eyes look a little dangerous. ]

[Determining the degree of danger...]

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe turned his head slightly towards the direction where Amuro Toru was.

They looked at each other, two streets apart.

I don’t know if it’s because Yun Xianhe’s hair is too conspicuous or because of Amuro Toru’s.

Even though they were so far apart, the two of them saw each other at a glance.

"What are you looking at?"

“UFO.”

"what?"

Kidd turned his head and took a look, but didn't find anything strange.

The Phantom Thief thought so and reached out to hand the lemonade in his hand to Yun Xianhe, but his casual gaze suddenly met Amuro Toru's.

The face was obviously too far away and the night was too dark to be seen clearly, but at this moment it exuded a murderous aura.

Not sure if the other party was coming for him, Kidd hid behind Yun Xianhe in fear.

He also pulled the person towards him to prevent Yun Xianhe from making eye contact with the strange guy.

Could it be a perverted murderer?!

Feeling the pulling force, Yun Xianhe tilted his head and looked at Kidd:

"what happened?"

"I knew it wasn't safe to go out at night!"

"Ok?"

"There's a murderer over there!"

Yun Xianhe looked in the direction Kidd pointed, and after meeting Amuro Toru's gaze, he uttered a puzzled sound:

"what?"
