Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Seeing the novelist and the little girl walking away, Kudo Shinichi was about to continue his date with Xiaolan when he suddenly caught sight of the strange behavior of the two men in black windbreakers. Whether it was out of a detective's inquisitive mind or out of his own curiosity, he said goodbye to Xiaolan and secretly followed the two men.

[Bartender: What's this? Curiosity killed the cat?]

[Magician: I think that's normal. He's a detective, and it's his nature to get to the bottom of things.]

[Postman: Let's not rush to talk about this detective yet. How many of us were tricked into coming to the manor by the manor owner's invitation?]

The discussion in the chat group in the brain came to an abrupt end, and everyone suddenly fell silent.

[Perfumer: Okay, I admit, that makes sense.]

[Entomologist: That's really hard to argue with.]

After everyone finished their discussion, Kudo Shinichi, who was trying to follow the Black Organization, was attacked from behind, fell to the ground, and was poisoned. Then, his body twitched and turned into his childhood appearance.

[Professor: The entire process of changes after the drug takes effect is truly spectacular. So, are you really not considering getting a copy to study?]

[Mercenary: I have a chance to get in touch with him. I can give it a try.]

[Gardener: Safety comes first. Mr. Naib, don't push yourself.]

[Mercenary: Thank you for your concern. I will proceed with caution.]

[Explorer: Oh, this guy is awake.]

[Entomologist: As it stands now, he can only seek help from Dr. Agasa.]

[Mechanic: Indeed, his parents are not around. Only this knowledgeable doctor can believe such a bizarre thing.]

The raven followed Kudo Shinichi, now Conan, all the way to the vicinity of Dr. Agasa's house.

[Prisoner: Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Dr. Agasa has this big melon? There's a hair growing on the mole on his butt. Hahaha, I can't stand it. What do you think he'll do when we all make fun of him in the chat group? Ahahaha.]

[Hermit: Luca, I don't think it's the behavior of a good scholar to use his private life to mock an old man.]

[Prisoner: Oh, teacher, I know I was wrong. I won’t do that again.]

[Aviator: Just take this as a joke, don't make it a big deal.]

[Cowboy: So from now on, Kudo Shinichi, aka Conan, will be living in Mouri Kogoro's house? Living with the girl I love is such a blessing.]

[Entomologist: However, Conan will be attending Teitan Elementary School soon, so we can prepare for Alice to attend as well.]

[Explorer: Aren't there a few other members of the Junior Detective Team in the elementary school? Kojima Genta, Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko, and Yoshida Ayumi. There's also Haibara Ai, who hasn't arrived yet.]

[Novelist: I will do this. I hope little Alice will not have trouble adapting to the environment there.]

[Little girl: I'm fine, Aoife.]

[Reporter: Although it's not the same personality, don't underestimate my other self. She just "looks like a child," haha.]

[Novelist: I know, but I'm still a little worried. After all, these kids are incredibly capable of getting into trouble.]

[Little Girl: I'll protect myself, just in case I end up carrying Uncle Lucchino's scales with me.]

[Professor: My scales can deflect one hit from a cold weapon. If the opponent uses a gun, I'm not sure.]

[Composer: Don't worry, although these children may be mischievous, they will hardly ever encounter armed thugs.]

Just a few days after Conan enrolled in Teitan Elementary School, the class suddenly announced that a transfer student was coming.

Yoshida Ayumi: "I heard there's a new transfer student coming soon. I wonder what kind of person he is."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "There are so many transfer students lately. First it was Edogawa-san, and now there's another new student coming."

Kojima Genta: “That’s what I mean.”

At this moment, Conan was slumped over his desk with a look of despair on his face. It was too demeaning for a genius high school detective to go back to elementary school to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. However, when he saw the figure entering the classroom, his calm expression finally showed a crack.

"Hello everyone, I'm Alice DeRose. I have to study here because of my father's work. I hope we can create better memories together in this year." The little girl on the podium introduced herself with a smile.

Ayumi: "Wow, it's a foreigner."

Mitsuhiko: "What a cute girl."

Yuantai: "What a beautiful dress she is wearing."

Conan couldn't help but think of Mr. Orpheus Delos, the mystery writer he'd previously praised. Was he even sending his daughter to school locally while he was here collecting material? They generally did, right? Considering the rumors he'd heard about the novelist, it could only be that the child's mother was no longer alive. If Mr. Orpheus was going out collecting material, he couldn't abandon Alice, so he had to take her with him. Yes, that must be it. Conan silently worked out the logical coherence of his deduction about the little girl's family situation.

The little girl walked down from the podium and sat next to Conan.

Genta: "What? Why are you sitting next to Conan?" Genta couldn't help but mutter to himself.

After class, the three kids surrounded the little girl and asked her all sorts of questions.

Ayumi: "Hey, De Ross, can I just call you Alice? I'm Yoshida Ayumi, you can also just call me Ayumi"

Little girl: "No problem, Ayumi-san."

"Um, I, I'm Genta Kojima, you can call me Genta."

"My name is Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, you can just call me Mitsuhiko."

"Classmate, what's your name?" The little girl turned her head and looked at Conan.

"Edogawa Conan, just call me Conan."

"Ah, is that the Conan who wrote the Sherlock Holmes series? You are called this name. There must be someone in your family who likes Sherlock Holmes very much." The little girl suddenly asked Conan excitedly.

"Ahem, yes, my dad is a Sherlock Holmes fan." Although he made up this name to deal with Xiaolan's impromptu nonsense, it was indeed because Conan liked Sherlock Holmes, so he combined "Edogawa Ranpo" and "Conan Doyle" on the bookshelf to come up with this pseudonym.

"My father is a mystery novel writer. Although he is not as famous as Conan Doyle, I believe he will be successful." The little girl seemed very excited when she mentioned the novelist.

Ayumi: "Wow, Alice, your dad is so awesome."

Yuanta: "Oh right, Alice, where do you live? Do you need us to take you home?"

Mitsuhiko: "Yes, we could use a companion on the way home from school."

Ayumi: "Conan-kun, come too."

Conan was speechless. He just wanted to go back to Xiaolan after school.

"My family lives in the Delos Manor over there. My father put a lot of effort into decorating it."

Yuantai: "Huh? That big manor is actually your home?"

Mitsuhiko: "I heard that the manor was recently bought. Was it your father, Alice, who bought it?"

Little girl: "Well, actually it was a friend of my dad who paid. Um, do you want to come to my house and play after school? My dad will definitely welcome you."

The three little ones: "Great!"

Little girl: "Conan, do you want to come with us? Daddy has a lot of manuscripts of his novels in his bookcase."

Conan: "Okay, but I have to talk to my family first."

Out of curiosity, our little detective took the bait, which is a cause for celebration.
