Special Effects: I Want to Be a Fun Person in Children of the Earth

"What's going on?" Shotaro had a headache when he returned to the office.

I didn't expect that this case would involve two dopers.

And it seems that the Tyrannosaurus Rex came to silence him, so the man named Togawa Yosuke is probably in great danger.

It seems that I have to look for clues and let Philip check the information.

Just as he was thinking this, Shotaro suddenly discovered that Philip, who always liked to stay at home, actually walked out of the underground base with a smile on his face and humming an unknown tune.

"Shotaro, I have to go out for a while, so I'll leave the case to you," said Philip.

"Huh? You're going out? What are you going to do? Will it be dangerous?" Shotaro was stunned for a moment, then asked with concern.

Unless there are special circumstances, such as encountering a problem that interests him and wanting to find the truth himself, Philip never goes out.

In addition to his own personality being a bit of a homebody, another reason is that he is afraid of being discovered by the cadres of the enemy organization.

"Well, it's okay. I'm going to have a meal with my brother and his wife. This kind of social activity... is called a 'family dinner', right?"

"Do you want me to take you there?"

Although it was only a short year, in his heart, the two of them were partners and friends.

Although Philip didn't realize it.

"Ah, I guess not?" Philip thought for a moment and refused.

As soon as he finished speaking, the space around Phillip twisted, and the next second, he disappeared from the spot.

"Hey...Philip!" Shotaro was startled, but quickly reacted.

"Really? Is this the ability again? Why do they need me to take care of such capable parents?" He was a little speechless.

"Forget it, let's go investigate the case!"

He and Philip had opposite approaches to their search.

Philip is an indoor person who likes to stay at home and make inferences based on existing information, while he is an action person who likes to take the initiative to look for clues.

……

"Oh, are you Philip? What a cute child!" Metzler teased with a smile.

"Hello." Philip responded shyly.

"Don't be so polite, we are a family. Wait a moment, the meal will be ready soon."

"Ok!"

At this time, Mavis was sitting on the crawling mat and building blocks with Gamer and Taiya.

Taiya accidentally knocked over the building blocks he had just completed, and his little mouth pouted, just about to cry.

Mavis quickly picked him up and comforted him, "Don't cry, don't cry. Let your brother perform a magic trick for you, okay?"

Then he signaled to Gamel with his eyes.

Gamer understood instantly, and in a few seconds he restored the simple house-shaped building blocks to their original shape.

"Tai Ya... look... it's fixed!"

Gamer said, pointing at the blocks.

Taiya suddenly started laughing again and clapped his hands happily.

Looking at this heartwarming scene, Philip felt inexplicably warm in his heart.

Is this what home feels like?

"Philip, come and sit here." Mavis gestured to the side.

After Philip sat down, Taiya in Mavis's arms also saw the uncle he had just met.

Perhaps he felt the closeness, so he also reached out his hand for a hug.

"Oh, it seems Taiya really likes you!" Mavis handed the child over with a smile.

Philip took it carefully and examined it carefully.

Looking at Taiya's cute face, he couldn't help but move his face closer.

Post it!

……

"How's it going? Have you been getting along well with Shotaro this year?" At the dinner table, Mavis asked Philip about his recent situation with a smile on her face.

"Well...how should I put it? He's not annoying, is he? Although he's a bit impulsive sometimes, he's actually a pretty good guy, right?" Philip responded with the same smile.

"Really? But I heard from Shouji that Shotaro is easily emotional, stubborn, and quite immature!"

"Ming Hai Shouji? Is he still alive?" Philip also had an expression that said so.

"You guessed it already?"

"Well, after all, you were there that night, brother. With your personality, you wouldn't let him die like that."

Philip also looked up the life of Narumi Shokichi, and he could indeed be called a tough guy. Shotaro was far from that!

"Haha, you do know me. But don't let Shotaro know for now. I'll arrange a meeting between him and Shoukichi. It will surely be very interesting!" Mavis reminded.

Philip was a little helpless about his bad taste, but it was difficult to disobey his brother's orders, so he could only nod obediently and mourn for Shotarou in his heart.

If Narumi Shokichi is still alive, then there is a high probability that Narumi Akiko also knows the news.

In this way, everyone around knew that Ming Hai Shouji was not dead, and only he, his disciple, was kept in the dark.

Will they be shocked when they meet?

"By the way, it's precisely because of Shotaro's personality that you might have a conflict with him at any time." Mavis stared at Philip with a smile.

It makes the other person feel a little uneasy, and he always feels that something bad is going to happen.

The reason was simple. Mavis suddenly thought that if things developed normally, Shotaro's fist would hit Philip's face in no time!

But he had no intention of reminding Philip at all.

Because he thought this was the way for the two of them to strengthen their friendship.

It's not for fun!

Yes, it is like that!

-------------------------------------

Togawa Yosuke's body was found the next day.

Marina Tsumura also came to cry at the right time.

But after she left, Shotaro determined that the true identity of the Tyrannosaurus Rex hybrid was his childhood sweetheart based on the clues he had collected and through Philip's "keyword search".

But he and Philip had a disagreement on how to deal with her.

"Marina Tsumura has been devoured by the memory of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Even if you persuade her with reason and emotion, she will just kill you. You will be eaten!"

"But I still want to take a gamble!" Shotaro said in a low voice.

"Don't be silly, Shotaro, we must kill her, this is also for the sake of this city!" Philip continued to dissuade.

"I really can't communicate this to you..." Shotaro was also a little helpless.

What he is thinking now is probably, "Fahai, you don't understand love"?

Rather than defeating Marina and sending her to prison, he would rather have her voluntarily give up her memories and surrender.

Although the results seemed to make no difference, he still wanted to give it a try.

This is a unique way of doing things for Shotaro.

"Ah..." Philip sighed. "Selfless and upright, isn't that the kind of tough guy you admire the most? Acting on one's emotions like this, you can only be called a half-baked detective, right?"

Shotaro was also hurt, so he walked up to Philip and punched him.

"I don't need your power anymore!" After putting down the three memories on his body, he left angrily.

……

"Although it's true, it doesn't seem right to say it so bluntly, right?"

Looking at Philip who came to complain with a look of grievance on his face, Mavis smiled happily, which made Philip dissatisfied.

After helping Philip remove the bruises on his face, Mavis rubbed his head and said softly, "Even the best of friends sometimes have conflicts due to different ideas."

"But this is obviously different from his behavior and goals. I just want to remind him..."

"Haha, it might be hard for Shotaro to become someone like Shoukichi, right?" Mavis shook her head and said.

"He has a unique tenderness in his heart, and even Shouji was moved by it. He is willing to trust his intuition and believe in the kindness of people. As you said, he is a half-witted person."

Having said this, he paused and added a sentence.

"But maybe this kind of half-baked person is more suitable for him?"

"After all...he's Shotaro Sae!"
