After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

Fūya Rei lowered his head and noticed Hoshino Hitomi's face close at hand. At this moment, they were so close that he could even clearly see the fuzz on Hoshino Hitomi's face.

Furiya Rei felt his cheeks getting hot, and he took the handkerchief from Hoshino Hitomi and said embarrassedly: "I... I can wipe it myself, thank you, Hitomi."

Elena Miyano asked Rei Furuya, "Is one of your parents a foreigner?"

Fūya Rei asked in confusion: "No, it's not possible?!"

Miyano Elena said slowly: "Then you can say this to your fighting friends..."

"Even if humans look different, their flesh and blood are the same after they are cut and skinned. The evidence is that no matter if they are black, white or yellow, everyone is the same... they bleed red, right? Just use this to refute them!" Elena Miyano said to Rei Furuya with a serious face.

Miyano Elena then curved her eyebrows and said gently, "Do you understand?"

Fūya Ling opened his mouth and was stunned for a long while, then he reacted and said, "Hmm... Hmm!"

Hoshino Hitomi quietly looked at Miyano Elena, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Hoshino Hitomi still likes Miyano Elena's speech very much, it really touches her heart.

Then I saw Miyano Elena looked at Hoshino Hitomi, and with a smile in her eyes, she asked gently: "You are the friend Mingmei just mentioned, right? This boy has been disinfected. Can you please put a Band-Aid on him?"

Hoshino Hitomi smiled and said obediently, "Of course, no problem. I'm Mingmei's friend, my name is Hoshino Hitomi. Aunt Miyano, just call me Xiaotong."

"Okay." Elena Miyano looked at the smiling Hitomi Hoshino and replied.

What a polite and sensible child. It is a good choice for Mingmei to be friends with her. There is an unconcealable love in Elena Miyano's eyes.

In fact, as soon as she entered the room, Miyano Elena noticed Hoshino Hitomi.

For some reason, she felt an inexplicable liking for Hoshino Hitomi the first time she saw her, and had a vague feeling that this girl was extraordinary.

"Xiao Tong, this is a Band-Aid, please put it on him~" Miyano Akemi took out a Band-Aid and handed it to Hoshino Hitomi.

"Thank you, Mingmei~" Hoshino Hitomi reached out and took the Band-Aid.

Elena Miyano stared at Hoshino Hitomi who was conscientiously putting a band-aid on Rei Furuya, smiled gently, and asked, "Xiao Tong, you should be mixed-blood too, right?"

Hoshino Hitomi was stunned for a few seconds when she heard this. For a moment, she didn't expect that Miyano Elena, who was always taciturn, shy and afraid of strangers, would observe her so carefully and talk so much to her.

And shouldn't the person that Elena Miyano is paying more attention to at this time be Furuya Rei?

Hoshino Hitomi thought for a moment before answering, "It should be considered, my mother is mixed-blood."

Hitomi Hoshino's mother is of Asian and American descent. She was born and raised in the United States. Later, she met Hitomi Hoshino's father by chance while traveling to Japan. The two fell in love with each other at first sight and naturally got together.

Hoshino Hitomi knew this very well. After all, when her mother was with her, she especially liked to tell her the love story of how they met and fell in love.

Miyano Elena nodded and said, "I see."

After hearing that Hoshino Hitomi was also a mixed-race, Rei Furuya looked at Hitomi Hoshino with curiosity in his eyes. Hitomi Hoshino naturally also noticed Rei Furuya's fiery gaze.

After applying band-aids to all of Fūya Rei's wounds, Hoshino Hitomi smiled and said, "In fact, whether it's mixed blood or different races, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, noble and humble, and everyone is equal, so I also fully agree with what Aunt Miyano just said."

Hoshino Hitomi looked at Furuya Rei seriously and said, "Brother Rei, there is no need to be sad or angry because of other people's ridicule. Their behavior of ostracizing others is wrong in itself."

Hoshino Hitomi paused, the smile on her face deepened, and then continued: "What's more... I think Brother Zero is a very handsome boy, and he is also very kind. No matter how others see you, you still have me and Brother Jingguang by your side. We are all your good friends, aren't we?"

As Rei Furutani listened to Hoshino Hitomi's words of comfort, his eyes couldn't help but turn red and tears welled up in his eyes again.

No one had ever said these things to him before, and he was often discriminated against, rejected and excluded by others because of his skin and hair color.

He didn't know whether other people's rejection was rational or stupid. No one had ever taught him or told him that.

Until today, someone finally told him that he was not wrong, but that others’ behavior of exclusion and discrimination was wrong…

Tears immediately welled up in Fūya Rei's eyes, as if the last line of rationality in his brain had been broken, and the tears could not stop falling bit by bit.

Seeing this, Hoshino Hitomi stepped forward and gently hugged Furuya Rei, who stretched out his arms and hugged her back tightly.

Rei Furuya buried her head in Hitomi Hoshino's neck. Hitomi Hoshino felt the fabric of her clothes on her shoulders gradually getting wet by Rei Furuya's tears.

Hoshino Hitomi didn't care much about it and patted Furiya Rei's back gently to comfort him.

After a few minutes, Fūya Rei's tears finally dried up, and he walked out of Hoshino Hitomi's arms with red eyes.

When Rei Fūya saw the wet marks on the shoulders of Hoshino Hitomi's clothes, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and he said shyly: "I'm sorry, Hitomi... I cried and wet your clothes."

"It's okay, are you feeling much better now?" Hoshino Hitomi smiled and waved her hand.

"Much better..." replied Rei Furuya.

Miyano Atsushi also came out of the room at this time, and smiled at Miyano Elena and said, "It's really strange, you are not shy, and you don't say anything more than important things to patients, but you say so much to these two strange children."

Miyano Elena turned to look at Miyano Atsushi and said with a smile, "Husband."

Miyano Elena then looked at Hoshino Hitomi and Furuya Rei with a smile in her eyes and explained, "These two children are different. They are mixed-blood like me. I seem to have an inexplicable sense of closeness to this girl named Hoshino Hitomi."

Miyano Elena then looked at Miyano Atsushi and asked, "By the way, how was the last incident? The one where we moved to the institution that supported your research."

"Ah, that's the one I wanted to reject," replied Miyano Atsushi.

Hoshino Hitomi heard the Miyano couple talking about the research experiment, and whispered to Furiya Rei, "Brother Rei, go wait for me outside. I have something to tell Aunt Miyano and the others. I'll be out soon."

Upon hearing this, Fūya Rei obediently agreed, "Okay." Then he turned and left.

When Miyano Elena heard Miyano Atsushi say he wanted to refuse, she asked in confusion: "Ah? Why?"

Miyano Atsushi chuckled and explained, "Because I don't want to live apart from you. Your sister also said that you don't seem to be reliable."
