After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

The butler released his arms that were hugging Hoshino Hitomi, stood up, and gave her a kind smile.

The butler's smile revealed a kind of understanding, as if all faults could be forgiven in the face of his kindness.

The housekeeper said in a gentle tone: "Young Miss, there is no need to blame yourself. Everyone makes mistakes occasionally. As long as you know your mistakes and correct them, you are still a good child."

After saying that, the butler smiled and leaned over to touch Hoshino Hitomi's head.

With an innocent smile on her face, Hoshino Hitomi said sincerely: "Grandpa Butler, it's great to have you by my side..."

Hearing this, the butler's eyes flashed with a trace of distress, and he thought: Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Hoshino have already gone to heaven, leaving only the young lady alone. The young lady must be very sad and in pain...

In order to prevent Hoshino Hitomi from recalling the sad things, the housekeeper changed the subject and said, "Miss, have you eaten yet? If not, go take a bath first, and you can have dinner after you finish your bath."

Hoshino Hitomi said in a gentle voice: "I have already eaten at my friend's house. I can go to bed directly after taking a bath. Butler, you should also go to rest. It's very late now."

The housekeeper responded, "Okay, Miss."

Then, the housekeeper remembered something and added, "Miss, remember to go to bed early tonight. You have to report to the elementary school tomorrow morning."

Hoshino Hitomi smiled and nodded: "I understand."

Then, Hoshino Hitomi looked a little guilty and asked, "Butler, does Uncle Shimazaki know that I came home so late today?"

The housekeeper answered truthfully: "Takumi has been handling work at the Hoshino Group at night and has not returned yet, so he doesn't know about the young lady's situation."

Hoshino Hitomi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Uncle Shimazaki didn't know that she came home late. Otherwise, if he knew, it would be difficult for her to get away with going out alone in the future.

Hoshino Hitomi looked at the butler with a pleading look and gently shook the butler's hand.

She said softly and coquettishly, "Can you keep my late return home a secret for me, Grandpa Butler?"

Seeing the hesitant look on the butler's face, Hoshino Hitomi said, "Please, butler, just this once. I promise I won't do it again."

The butler was finally persuaded by Hoshino Hitomi and agreed to keep it secret for her, but he only said that there wouldn't be a next time.

The butler sighed and thought: Takumi, I'm sorry this time.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Hitomi Hoshino lay down on the bed.

Hoshino Hitomi's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly remembered that she had promised Furukaya Rei that she would go find him to play soon.

But I'm afraid it's going to be difficult...

After all, Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu will both be undercover agents infiltrating the organization in the future. It would be troublesome if he was discovered by people secretly observing the organization while he was in contact with them.

Although they are still children, the organization will not be suspicious.

But several years later, the two entered the police academy and later infiltrated the organization. Once they were found to have a connection with them, they would easily be discovered by the organization as undercover agents sent by the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

And because of her special identity, it is estimated that Karasuma Renya and Rum have already sent people to monitor her whereabouts, which makes it even more dangerous.

Hoshino Hitomi narrowed her eyes slightly. In order to prevent them from being targeted by the organization, it seemed that she had to keep a certain distance from them before they infiltrated the organization.

Although they may blame themselves for doing this, this is the best way to protect them.

But, finally, I should say goodbye to them properly...

The next morning

Hoshino Hitomi got up on time at seven o'clock. She slept quite well without any dreams all night, so she was full of energy when she woke up in the morning.

Because most Japanese elementary schools start classes at 8 a.m., Hitomi Hoshino wakes up at just the right time.

After washing up and having breakfast, Hitomi Hoshino went to the locker room and changed into a simple white sweater, a black corset skirt, and a pair of white sneakers.

Hitomi Hoshino's short black curly hair makes her skin look particularly fair, and her pair of red almond-shaped eyes look charming and make her look full of energy.

Because they are still in elementary school, most elementary schools in Japan do not have mandatory requirements for elementary school students to wear school uniforms.

Because primary school students' mental development is not yet mature and they are full of curiosity about brightly colored things, you can see a lot of cute elements in primary schools.

At the same time, not allowing students to wear school uniforms is also to allow children to use their imagination freely without being constrained.

It can allow children to release their nature more, and even help them maintain a happy mood, which is beneficial to their healthy development.

I have to say that she quite likes this, although her mental age is no longer that of a child.

But who wouldn’t like to wear different colors of clothes every day?

Hitomi Hoshino then carried a school bag for elementary school students, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: I miss it so much. She didn't know how many decades she hadn't carried a school bag. Now she can experience the life of an elementary school student.

Since Hitomi Hoshino has never been to elementary school herself, she doesn't know the way to get there, so Takumi Shimazaki needs to drive her to school this morning.

When Hitomi Hoshino walked out of the house, as expected, Takumi Shimazaki had already parked his car at the door, and he was standing there waiting.

Shimazaki Takumi saw Hoshino Hitomi coming out of the house, and he smiled brightly and greeted her politely, "Good morning, young lady. I will take you to school this morning, young lady, please get in the car first."

Hoshino Hitomi smiled back and responded, "Good morning, Uncle Shimazaki. Okay, I'll get in the car right away."

As usual, Takumi Shimazaki personally opened the back door for Hitomi Hoshino, gently helped Hitomi Hoshino into the car, then closed the door and returned to the driver's seat.

Shimazaki Takumi asked, "Miss, did you have fun at your friend's house yesterday? What time did you ask the butler to pick you up last night?"

A trace of guilt flashed across Hoshino Hitomi's eyes, but it was covered up in an instant, and she lied without blushing or beating her heart: "I got home at nine o'clock in the evening. I had a lot of fun~"

Hoshino Hitomi felt extremely ashamed and apologized secretly: "I'm sorry, Uncle Shimazaki. I really didn't lie on purpose. This is also for your safety. Please forgive me..."

Shimazaki Takumi didn't notice anything wrong, he just said with relief: "That's good..."

Not long after, the two arrived at the gate of the elementary school.

When Shimazaki Takumi was about to get off the car, he suddenly remembered that he had to give Hoshino Hitomi a gift as compensation.

Shimazaki Takumi took out a small box with exquisite packaging from the car and said to Hoshino Hitomi: "Miss, I bought you a small gift. Open it and see if you like it."

Hoshino Hitomi showed surprise on her face, took it with both hands, and said happily: "Thank you, Uncle Shimazaki!"

Hoshino Hitomi carefully opened the box and found a pink quartz watch from the latest series of a famous brand. The watch was very cute, small and exquisite, and it was obvious that Shimazaki Takumi had put a lot of thought into it.

Hoshino Hitomi fell in love with the watch at first sight, her eyes full of joy, and she said cheerfully: "Uncle Shimazaki has a good eye, I like this watch very much~"

Shimazaki Takumi was particularly happy to see that Hoshino Hitomi liked it so much. He took the watch from Hoshino Hitomi and said with a smile: "It's good that Miss likes it. I'll put it on you."
