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

The lanterns came on quietly.

Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Kaito were involved in a sudden case, and their plan to go to the library together was completely ruined. The two wandered aimlessly on the street until they really didn't want to leave. I just sat on a bench by the street, watching the people coming and going on the road, each with a cup of hot milk tea in their hands.

"It's a tragedy." Kuroba broke the silence and sighed, "Will you tell Morishima?"

Kudo shook his head: "He doesn't need to know this. The pain of losing his soul mate is already strong enough. If he knows this... a detective who uses reasoning to drive the murderer to the end, and then watches the other person commit suicide, has nothing to do with the murderer." Different? [1]”

Hei Yu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, but didn't answer.

Kudo cast his eyes on a distant place, and sighed in dismay: "Tragedies originate from ignorance. Collapsing reason, wrong judgments, and missing information can always make it easy for people to make some things that they will regret later. thing. It's always like that."

Kuroba's intuition told him that Kudo was thinking about Kaitou Kidd now.

He pursed his lips, hesitated, and said, "Are you thinking about your soul mate?"

Kudo glanced at him, but didn't say anything, but his eyes were clear and confused.

Kuroba subconsciously grabbed the opponent's wrist, and the sudden touch made Shinichi Kudo flinch.On the contrary, Hei Yu clenched his slightly cold wrist even more tightly, looked at him persistently when the other party was a little at a loss, and said, "It won't happen. Nothing will happen, you will be fine."

Kudo stared blankly at Kuroba, and burst out laughing after a while.

"What are you thinking, Kuroba, of course nothing's going to happen. I'm just thinking about his motives. My—my soul mate is a damned, daring, bumbling, law-agnostic thief, but I'll know him Reasons for doing it. Don't forget I'm a detective, and I'll always find out the truth. Besides—"

He paused for a moment, raised his chin, and his tone burst out with firmness.

"—If he really committed an unforgivable crime, even if it takes everything to hunt him down, I will gladly accept it. No matter where he is, I will catch him."

Kuroba was shocked by Kudo's words, and didn't know what to say for a while.

In the end, he could only control himself and say, "...Wow."

Such a great detective... so charming.

Intellectual yet emotional.

Oh my goodness.

Kuroba thought sweetly and painfully that he had been completely caught by the famous detective Kudo Shinichi.The tenured, inescapable kind.

A week passed through my fingers like running water.In a blink of an eye, Friday came like this.In order to show everyone's love for Kuroba, Class B of the second grade of Teidan High School specially prepared a surprise farewell party in the afternoon.

During the class meeting, they first came to a formal farewell party with the class teacher. Kaito Kuroba came to the podium to thank everyone for their care in the past two weeks, and to praise the cultural landscape of Tedan High School. , sigh the reluctance to leave.

Everyone applauded enthusiastically, tears welled up in their eyes, it was as if they would never see each other again, all kinds of cards, small gifts, and some girls mixed in a love letter or two, which made Kuroba almost cry, his eyes were red, He solemnly swears to them that he will definitely come to play with them often.

This sentence comes from the heart, with true feelings, absolutely without any ambiguity, Kaito Kuroba will do what he says.

——Uh, as for who will play with you in the end... You know, some things are better not to be said directly.

After school, Kudo Shinichi called Kuroba Kaito to stop.

"Hei Yu, do you want to have dinner together tonight?" He looked at Hei Yu with sincere eyes.

Hei Yu immediately nodded at the speed of light, laughed a few times, leaned forward and deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Of course it's okay. Why, Kudou-san is too reluctant for me to go back, and is planning to treat me to dinner?"

"...Don't think too much, just follow me in a while." Kudo Shinichi's face was a little hot, and he turned his face away and coughed twice.Don't show it, don't show it Kudo Shinichi, it's a surprise like a send-off, keep it natural.

Kuroba winked at him: "I'm completely at the disposal of Kudo-san. Anything is fine." He specially emphasized the phrase "what", and the implication was almost deafening.Kudo Shinichi's face turned red in an instant.

"……gone!"

Whoa, the pissed-off detective is cute.

"Just kidding with you, Mister Detective—"

"Annoying! Shut up!"

"Okay, okay, I shut up, I shut up."

"Black Feather Fight."

"Hey, I've shut up, what else do you want me to do—"

"To shut up."

The season of cherry blossoms in Tokyo has passed, but the late spring wind is still mixed with faint fragrance, which makes people's hearts sway, and easily wipes away the anxiety and boredom in the hearts of people who come and go in a hurry.Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Kaito walked side by side on the edge of the river embankment. On the right was the slow-flowing and calm canal, with ripples blown by the breeze.There are endless cherry blossom trees along the bank, pink petals can still be seen everywhere, falling on the river, lying on the walking road, paving a white-pink path, with the shining golden sun, interlaced light and shadow, it is so beautiful Can't take my eyes off.

Kuroba Kaito carried the schoolbag behind his back with one hand, and couldn't help sighing, "It's really beautiful."

Kudo raised his eyebrows, his eyes sparkled and flowed with light.From the corner of his eye, he looked at Kaito Kuroba, who was raising his head and squinting his eyes slightly, and there were thriving branches rustling in his heart.

Kudo Shinichi knew that, soul mate or not, Kaito Kuroba would be his catastrophe.

The momentum is huge and irresistible.

"Kudou..." Kuroba pretended not to care, and looked at this outstanding high school detective from the corner of his eye. Youth, sense of justice, and wisdom poured out on him without hesitation, crowning him and letting him The whole person shone like a diamond, shining brighter than any diamond he had ever seen.

He is his most precious diamond, the one he will protect with all his might.His desire to get Pandora has never been so strong, and he wants to deal with this matter as soon as possible before Kudo Shinichi knows all the truth, and isolate him from this struggle.He knew how powerful Kudo Shinichi was, and he also knew that maybe by letting the other party know about this matter, he would be able to solve this tricky organization faster.but……

Shinichi Kudo was the one who made him feel complete.

Kudo Shinichi is the one he wants to be with.

Kudo Shinichi is his direction.

And he has to protect him no matter what, even if the other party doesn't know anything about it.

He lowered his eyelids and smiled slightly: "Thank you. Really, thank you."

- Thank you for trusting in your soul mate.

- Thank you for being my lighthouse.

- Thank you for all your persistence.

They were walking on the road, Hei Yu hummed a little tune, his heart brightened.

It turned out that he only wanted to find out the truth about his father's disappearance, and he became a nighttime thief in white alone, a performer, a hunter, and a prey.Desperate, desperate, and after the goal is completed, life is blank, without any thoughts at all.

Now he is still the Phantom Thief Kidd who fascinates thousands of people, brings gorgeous magic performances at night, and never stops chasing Pandora.But his future doesn't stop here, that blank space has gradually begun to be filled with colorful colors.

——It is an exciting color.

They had already reached a quite remote alley, the orange was gradually swallowed by darkness, leaving only the last twilight still in the sky, which was still lingering.

Hei Yu looked at the shop hidden in the alley curiously, and asked nervously: "Why haven't you arrived yet? You don't really want to sell me, do you? Let me tell you, I'm not worth much—" —”

Kudo was carrying the bag in one hand, and put the other hand in his pocket. He clicked his tongue and interrupted him: "Don't you know that good things take time?"

Hei Yu squeezed her hungry stomach, curled her lips: "Otherwise I said we'd better just stay here—look, how about eating at this Chinese restaurant?"

Kudo rolled his eyes and said mercilessly, "It's not that good. Hold on, we're almost there."

"I understand, you asked me to eat today, it's not because you are reluctant to part with me, but because you want to starve to death—"

"Here we are, shut up." Kudo Shinichi stopped in front of a barbecue restaurant, tilted his head and looked at Kuroba, "Go in."

"It's barbecue! Praise you, Kudo—I'm sure!" He opened the curtain excitedly, stepped into the barbecue restaurant, and was immediately overwhelmed by a large pile of shiny ribbons and foam falling from the sky, mixed with Screams and applause.

He was covered with sequins all over his body, and his hair was covered with foam. He looked at the laughing students of Class B of the second grade with a dazed expression on his face.

At this time, Kudo Shinichi took a peek inside and made sure that there were no more ribbons and messy things before he walked in, coughed, and patted the sluggish Kuroba Kaito: "Surprise!"

"Crack-"

Someone clicked the shutter.

The moment Kuroba Kaito heard the sound of the shutter, he was instantly revived with full blood, and immediately looked at the source of the sound, and rushed over with bared teeth and claws: "Who took the photo! Don't run! Delete the photo quickly! Ah, my famous name— —”

A group of people laughed together, took out their mobile phones and started taking pictures:

"I said it was a surprise!"

"A special farewell party—"

"The prank was a great success!"

"Laugh!"

……

By the time they sat down on the tatami to start eating, 15 minutes had passed.

The barbecue shop is owned by a classmate in the class. This time, it is specially reserved to hold a farewell party for Hei Yu. There are colorful decorations and a big banner everywhere, and the tables are full of meat and vegetable dishes waiting to be grilled. Order a beer and get ready to feast.

The grilled meat sizzled on the iron plate, and the tempting aroma began to spread.A group of people were chatting and laughing, grabbing meat in a fancy way, and the confrontation of chopsticks was as dizzying as a Hollywood action blockbuster.

until someone said—

"Do you want to play Truth or Dare?"

A group of high school students with excess hormones suddenly became excited and agreed.All kinds of funny questions and big adventures came one after another, and they played with the mentality that they would never die as classmates and vowed not to be human.There were screams and screams one after another, and the joyous atmosphere was about to blow off the roof.

"Ahem, let me see... No. 14! Who is it!"

Kudo froze for a moment.

Then he reluctantly raised his hand.

"Wow—a classmate detective——!!!"

"Choose quickly, truth or dare!"

"Big adventure! Big adventure!"

"...No, forget about the big adventure. I will choose the truth." Kudo raised his forehead.

"Let me take a look, let me draw one—wow, this is amazing, ahem, Detective Kudo, please listen to the question—who would you like to be a lover for a day?"

"—oh my gosh, this is explosive!"

"Quick, Kudo, choose me! Choose me!"

"I think it's Lan! Look at their childhood sweethearts, I am very supportive!"

"Wait a minute, why does it have anything to do with me?! I think—" Before Lan could finish protesting, Kudo replied with an awkward expression.

"—Then, who is that, Kuroba-kun."

A silence.

Black Feather's mind went blank for an instant.

...Just now, big detective, what did you say?

"...What?!" A group of people exploded. "I knew you weren't straight!" someone in the crowd yelled.

Kudo Shin's face turned red, he didn't know whether he was shy or he had drunk too much alcohol, and said angrily: "I didn't do this to avoid embarrassment! It would be embarrassing for me to say anyone's name! Anyway, anyway, Kuroba is leaving It's-"

"Excuse--"

"Forget it together?"

"Stop, stop! I'm done talking, so stop arguing. Go to the next one—"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Kuroba, express it!"

"Kuroba, Kuroba, it's time for you—"

"Hey, hey——" Hei Yu hurriedly waved his hands, the deer in his heart was bumping wildly, already in a state of confusion, and on the surface he was still playing haha ​​to maintain his composure, "The next one comes first—"

"Number 23!" Kudo quickly reached out to draw a card, and read the number out loud.

"...Well, I—wait, didn't I?!"

Hei Yu was almost suffocated by this wave of operations.

A group of people laughed like crazy.

"Destined, tsk tsk. Quick, big adventure, there is no need to run away!"

"Hei Yu, you have already agreed. If you are drawn, you will take a big risk. It's too late to repent! Once a gentleman says it, it's hard to chase—"

"I'm a villain, can't I be a villain?!"

"No! Come and come up with your own questions!"

A group of people started arguing, Kudou and Kuroba glanced at each other, and quickly staggered away, the blood all over their bodies seemed to be bubbling, and their minds were dizzy.

Kudo began to reflect deeply on what he had said under the influence of alcohol; while Kuroba began to wonder if he could think that the big detective liked him so much——

"It's decided! Kudo and Kuroba will hold hands until the meal is over!"

"——Please wait a moment, I strongly protest, this is not my big adventure!" Kudo had an opinion and wanted to start an uprising.

"The protest is invalid." A group of people quickly suppressed him, "Kuroba, act quickly, if you don't act, we will send your photo to Jiang Gutian High School's official Twitter—"

"Are you so cruel? Damn!" Hei Yu was on the verge of crying.He glanced at the famous detective whose ears were turning red, and sighed, "I've convinced you." Then he took Kudou's hand without hesitation.

Kudo struggled symbolically twice, but in the end he had no choice but to obediently let him hold him. The feeling of crossing his fingers was numb, flowing all the way from his fingertips to his heart.

He felt even more dizzy.

The two supported their faces in pain, and looked in two different directions, their faces were also flushed with heat.Kudo wanted to find a place to bury himself, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Quick, next round."

"Wait a minute, you guys are so cute. Don't move, I'll take a picture first."

"I'll take a picture too, so I can use it to intimidate and lure me in the future hehe..."

"It's a good idea. I can book Kudo-san's homework in the future. It's not like I said that every time he does homework, he is a model sample..."

"Don't you!?" The two were about to let go immediately, but were ruthlessly held down by the students behind, "Dare to let go, I will tweet the photo right now."

"..."

"..."

——Are we not going to lose face!

Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Kaito felt that their faces were so hot that they could fry eggs.

finally--

In the end, the two still held hands throughout the meal.

Kuroba held Kudo's right hand, which made it impossible for Kudo to move his chopsticks.Kudo tried several times and failed miserably.When he had basically given up on eating at last, Kaito Kuroba suddenly realized his conscience, and silently began to add vegetables to his grilled meat, but he didn't even give him a direct look. He just finished roasting it quickly and threw it into his bowl quickly , Then pretend that nothing happened and continue to eat your own.The classmates next to them burst into laughter, and the teasing words came and went. The two of them sat there like ostriches eating their own food, their necks were red, but they insisted on not giving each other a look or answering a word.

Kudo Shinichi was embarrassed to say anything, so he could only thank him in a volume that only the two of them could hear, and awkwardly began to eat with his left hand. The hand holding Kuroba was already covered with sweat, and his heart was pounding. deafening.

They couldn't help but think that maybe they drank a little—a little too much wine today.
