【Fast New】London Fog

"We'll be here soon, detective." The driver uncle said.

Kudo Shinichi hesitated for a moment, dialed the number, the receiver rang a few times, and when he thought it was fruitless, Xijing World connected the phone.

"Should this world be ruled by rules or feelings? Detective-kun."

"In my opinion, both are indispensable."

"But the ultimate goal of human society is to pursue happiness, isn't it? Can you imagine, Detective-kun," Nishii Sekai expressed a calmness close to despair, "They are clearly in love, but there is still no way to rectify their names...Because Fear of not being recognized, because of hesitation and self-doubt, suppressing all anxiety, so in the end they broke out together, the more affectionate, the more contradictory, the more contradictory, the more wanting to die. It may be because I don’t have the courage to end myself, so I can’t control and constantly hurt each other -"

The fire spread quickly, and the smoke soon caused the person on the receiver to start coughing. Kudo Shinichi got out of the taxi, not paying attention to the stunned expression of the driver looking at the flames under the sky, and could not wait for a moment, throwing off his coat He ran straight towards the villa.

"...If you don't have the courage to end yourself, what are you doing now?"

"I can't bear it...whether it's myself as the indirect murderer, or this world without Nadeshiko. I want to come here and destroy everything...here, every step I take is a memory, and I, should be with these things Disappear together..."

Xijing Shijie curled up on the bed, his eyes slowly blurred, and he didn't know whether it was the smoke or tears that blurred his vision.Not in the mood to listen to the answer on the other end of the phone, her arm hangs down as if exhausted, and the phone falls to the floor.On the opposite cabinet was a photo of herself and Nadeko Yotsuya, the girl was lazily leaning on her shoulder, the sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows fell on the top of her hair.The corners of the two curled mouths are filled with happiness, yes, happiness is actually such a simple thing, it’s fine as long as two people are together, it’s fine to trust each other, it’s fine to be more confident, why didn’t we know until the end Woolen cloth.

You must hate me, Nadeko.So now—

"Nishi World!! If you die now, Yotsuya-san will never forgive you!"

The voice of the detective who was on the other end of the phone just now rang downstairs.Just kidding, she is really as desperate as she is.Soon running up the stairs across the flames, the boy rushed to the door of the attic room and knocked on the locked door.

"...She will never forgive me! People like me will not be forgiven!!" She finally covered her ears and cried out in a broken voice.But the impact outside the door became stronger every time, and there was no intention of giving up at all.

"She didn't blame you, ahem... On the contrary! She also felt sorry for you..."

"You are lying!!"

Kudo Shinichi kicked the door, carbon monoxide made his throat hoarse, his cell phone kept vibrating in his pocket, but he couldn't care about anything else.

"...That's not Z, it's ご."

As he broke through the door, flames blazed along the floor and the walls.Kudo Shinichi looked at the Nishii world covered in tears and black smoke stains. The wooden furniture soon began to burn violently.

"I'm not lying," Kudo pulled her arm violently, "Because the deduction of the police officers gave everyone a preconceived and wrong impression, Miss Yotsuya's blood on the floor is not Z but ご, she wants to say it's—"

ご Free.

Sorry for saying that to you.

sorry

Sorry, it ended up like this.

Xijing World's eyes widened, her mouth half-opened as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't make a sound, something was completely lost in her heart, and she could never turn back.She couldn't breathe and tried to take a deep breath but was coughed by the smoke.

Sure enough, she didn't fall in love with the wrong person, this was the only thing she could be sure of, so, wouldn't it be good to let her die in the fire?

"Cough...get out of here quickly! Otherwise—" Kudo tried his best to pull her up, but his arm was thrown away.

"You don't have to..."

"For those who love you, they will definitely want you to continue to live," Kudo Shinichi couldn't wait any longer, interrupted her words and hugged her horizontally, "Live, and then continue in another way, It doesn’t matter whether it’s remorse or redemption...but for me who appeared here, saving people doesn’t need a reason. And—”

The sound of the police car can be vaguely heard, and it is faster than imagined.But because of the lake, even if the fire truck is called now, it will not be able to open, and it will take time to connect the water pipes.In the thick smoke, he narrowed his eyes, just hold on a little longer.The consciousness that had started to slacken due to lack of oxygen was reawakened by the shout that suddenly broke into his ears.Someone anxiously shouted his name, Shinichi, Shinichi, Kudo Shinichi, over and over again.

"And, maybe I have to thank you, because I also..."

What about him?

Xijing World didn't finish listening. Before the shock, she saw the boy's mouth move, and then he stopped abruptly in front of the stairs with his body holding her. Another similar figure rushed in in the firelight.

"you!?"

Covering his mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief, the visitor didn't say anything, but pulled him down with explosive force. The wooden stairs were almost to the point where they would break if he stepped on them. The faces of the people around him could no longer be seen clearly.The distance between the flame and the skin was infinitely close to zero, and the feeling of the skin being burned was stinging the nerves. The man wrapped his arms around his shoulders, covered his head with one hand, and blocked the sawdust with the flames with his back.Four meters, three meters, two meters, almost to the door, Kudo Shinichi was pushed violently——

Never knew he was so strong.

A huge sound sounded behind him, it was the sound of a large slab on the second floor collapsing.The body was thrown on the lawn, and other people shouted their names, but there was no longer that voice.

The heart is sinking slowly, just escaped the fire mist but seems to be drowning in the bottom of the sea.

"...I より先に"

"Kudo-kun, hold on a little longer!!" He was stretchered on the stage, and police officer Takagi leaned over and called his name.

"...kureru..."

"Kudou-kun?? What did you say??"

-

Should the world be ruled by rules or emotions?

There are no obligations or responsibilities. The self that exists here is only here by its own will.From the beginning, he was determined to follow justice and pursue the truth with his own will.On such a journey, what kind of feelings did you get?Having read countless people's hearts and watched repeated cases where one party caused the death of the other, he was unable to explore or answer how to make everyone happy.What kind of feeling is it like to approach death? It’s not that I haven’t encountered danger, will be embarrassed, and will be afraid. I have even realized it later. Since I have such a heart that revolves around life and death, when will it be my turn? It's not surprising that your own life is hanging by a thread.It is the rule in his heart that he cannot tolerate others despising his own life, but what about himself.

This fire is the last love story Nishii Sekai prepared for Nadeko Yotsuya, so another person who suddenly appeared at this time should be the price for his awakening.You really are a bastard, you, Kaito Kuroba, there is no way to swear like that.If all such relationships have to end with this ending, then it is better not to meet each other from the beginning... No, I still don’t want to, I want to meet, I have never regretted meeting you, and the ones left in my chest are all wanting The heart to live well together.

我より先に死んでくれるな。

Although you can't say love, you are not allowed to die before me.
