【Quick New】In the Name of Love · In the Name of Love- XXIV

"—Sorry." Kudo Shinichi suddenly came back to his senses, and blinked quickly, "What did you just say?"

Kuroba Kaito repeated: "I said, should we explain it to the other three?"

Kudo Shinichi let out an "ah", nodded in a daze, and temporarily put his private thoughts aside: "Let's go."

Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Kaito came to the waiting room where the three of them were.The three people have been told the general course of the incident and know who the culprit is.Matsuno was already out of breath from crying, and Sakuma and Kazuo didn't seem to be in a good condition, and they stayed by Matsuno's side silently.Kudo Qing coughed, reminding himself of his existence.Kuroba consciously leaned against the wall as the background, and focused on Kudo.

Kudo began to narrate.

When he talked about Morishima's reason for killing, Matsuno suddenly screamed, holding his head and began to shake wildly, tears welled up in his eyes: "How could it be, how could it be, how could it be like this, how could it be like this...! Rin , Rin, Rin—oh my god, how could this be?! How could it be, how could it be?”

"……what?"

"Rin, Rin—" Matsuno began to cry, "He told me that he still liked his same-sex soul mate in the end. We had a lot of arguments, and I... I even hated him for a while, but I finally Decided to let go. I love him! I, I hope he can be happy, so we finally agreed that we will travel together for the last time at the end of the year, and we will break up peacefully after fulfilling my wish. He is going to find his soul mate—— "Her chest was heaving violently, and the sound of her breathing was intermittent, like a dilapidated bellows, and the makeup on her face was already pasted badly.She covered her face with her hands, unable to say anything else, tears fell down her fingers.

"Rin, Rin, Rin...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm really sorry..."

By the time the two left the ramen restaurant, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.The sun gradually began to slant to the west, casting a layer of warm light on this urban area built with cold steel and concrete. The continuous glass softly reflected the warm orange light, which was so gentle that nothing happened. As if passing by, the weekend people who passed by them were talking about something, and their brows and eyes were full of joyful expressions.

Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Kaito walked side by side silently on the sidewalk, surrounded by an invisible high wall, blocking all the laughter from them.

"Hey, Kudo, wait here." Kuroba patted him on the shoulder unexpectedly, and ran away before Kudo could react.Kudo had no choice but to sit down on a bench along the street, watching the people coming and going on this bustling commercial street, his heart was still heavy.

Suddenly his face was pressed against a warm object, which made him lean back in surprise, and what caught his eyes was Kaito Kuroba's gentle smile and two cups of hot cocoa in his hands.Kaito Kuroba walked up to him and handed him one of the cups: "Here for you. I heard that drinking hot cocoa will make you feel better." He winked playfully at Kudo.

Kudo's breathing suddenly became disordered.He hurriedly calmed down, nervously took the hot cocoa Hei Yu had just brought back from his haste, and after a while he whispered, "Thank you."

Black Feather scratched his head and couldn't help laughing foolishly.Kudo looked at Kuroba's soft and vivid facial features reflected in the orange-yellow sunset, and the temperature from his palm spread all the way to the bottom of his heart, magically making his mood no longer depressed.He followed Hei Yu and laughed, his eyebrows stretched.

Hei Yu blushed, and said with some embarrassment: "Then, shall we go for a stroll? Going back is quite boring."

Kudo narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Okay."

"You know, not all soul mates are going to be like them. Most of them...have a happy ending."

Kuroba Kaito sighed, and said as he walked side by side with Kudo.Kudo was a little surprised why he brought up this topic, but quickly guessed that the other party probably wanted to make himself feel better, and let the other party continue talking in silence.

"Do you still remember the pair of artists that Ms. Lan talked about when she was gossiping with us two days ago, who went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, regardless of pressure from all sides and misunderstandings from the public, and finally came together? That is a good example. How to put it, as long as you really If you are connected with each other and are willing to trust each other, there is nothing you can't survive." Hei Yu said.

Kudo Shinichi stopped in his tracks, looked at the beautifully gradated sky blurred by the setting sun, and said abruptly, "Kuroba, do you believe in fatalism?"

Hei Yu stopped, turned around, and looked at the detective with his head up. The crowd passed by them, and they stood in the torrent, small and firm.

Kuroba thought, this is like a scene in a TV drama, the protagonists stop on the sidewalk that is constantly flowing, and look at each other affectionately, everything else seems to be as unimportant as the crowd passing by in a hurry , only each other is their own world, fall in love with each other uncontrollably, and finally kiss.At this time, the melodious and romantic background music will sound appropriately, as if the whole world is captivated by their love.

Kuroba looked at Kudo Shinichi bathed in the setting sun, the outline of his elegant and sharp jaw, his wind-blown hair, and he couldn't bear to blink.

He opened his mouth unconsciously, and when he wanted to confess everything, the music from the street came into his ears.

"...and then Igoandspoilitall, bysayingsomethingstupid (and then I ruined everything and said something stupid)..."[1]Lawrence's slightly hoarse voice made him swallow all the words abruptly, and finally clicked head, and said, "I believe."

Fate made me meet you, fate made me your soul mate, Kudo Shinichi, so I believe.

Kuroba Kaito thought to himself.

Kudo Shinichi withdrew his gaze towards the sky, and looked at Kuroba with ocean-like blue eyes. There were churning waves on the surface of the sea, and it was chaotic and deep below, making it impossible to see clearly.

"Do you believe it?" Kuroba Kaito asked subconsciously, a little overwhelmed by the sight.

Kudo looked at him.

Believe it?

Choosing to believe in fatalism means asking him to trust Kaito Kidd and firmly believe that they will eventually come together.If Morishima Zenta hadn't been so extreme, if Yoshikawa Rin could have said it earlier, they would still have a round in the end on the road they separated.Is fate in control of all this?Was she writing such a tragic script for them?Is his life and his fate also in the hands of fate like this?

Can he do it?

Wholeheartedly believe in fate?

He looked at Kuroba.

Kuroba believes in his soul mate, believes in fatalism, believes that he and his soul mate will come together.

Shinichi Kudo doesn't believe in his soul mate.

But he believed in Kaito Kuroba, even if it was just a brief infatuation in his youth, but beyond his own expectations, he believed in him so much that he was able to forget his own reason back.

Kudo Shinichi realized that he was falling into the blue.

Moths to the flame, desperate.

—Oh, fuck his fatalism.

Kudo Shinichi thought so, and couldn't restrain the corners of his mouth, and said almost briskly:

"Of course not, Kuroba. Of course not."
