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

Kuroba Kaito stared stiffly at the big detective sitting down with his chin on him for two seconds, then looked away in a panic, lowered his eyelids, and there was a big wave in his heart.

After returning to the Black Feather House that night, he tossed and turned, lost sleep all night, and waited helplessly for dawn.

On the way back, he searched the Internet for information about Kudo Shinichi.The savior of the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department, the famous detective of Kanto high school, and a superior family background... Countless reports about Kudo Shinichi flooded him. Whether it was praise or blame, Kaito Kuroba roughly read them all.

He's an outstanding young man in every way.

He is also a very stubborn person - especially when it comes to dealing with criminals and handling cases.In the investigations he handled or participated in, the cracking rate of the cases was as high as 90.00%, which is really astonishing.

Should I say lucky or unlucky?

Fortunately, I didn't explain everything on the spur of the moment—the other party might feel that I was talking nonsense, or that I was looking for an excuse for my actions, and the final result would not be so optimistic.Even if you are a soul mate, you cannot ask the other party to completely trust your own words when you meet for the first time.Kaito Kuroba knows that it takes time to accumulate trust in such things, and the other party's own observations and inferences are much more reliable than telling him straightforwardly.Furthermore... His father's matter involved an underground organization, so he couldn't just rashly involve someone who had nothing to do with it, regardless of whether this person was his soul mate or not.

Kuroba turned over and stared angrily at the wall.

God is playing with him, right?Why can't he be allowed to meet Kudo Shinichi as Kuroba Kaito? He can also hide his other identity and handle this matter quietly behind his back.

— Seriously, I think this soul mate thing is just for fun, right?How could I become a soul mate with a detective? Are you sure it's not...something like an old soul enemy?

——Well, forget it, forget it, anyway, I won't make any moves in the short term, and the chance of meeting the other party is almost zero.

Kuroba closed her eyes distractedly.

Then, when he went to Didan High School for exchange, he was assigned to Class B of the second year of high school.

Hei Yu felt that when he met Kudo Shinichi, everything started to go against him, and the capitalized "Fleeing Years" was written on every page of his recent calendar.

Kuroba sighed for the thousand and eighth time in her heart.

... Anyway, I have to act well when I meet him for the first time.Just remember not to bring up the topic of soul mates.Remember not to talk about Kaitou Kidd in front of him.But to make friends with him, at least get to know him.After all, Kaito Kuroba still has doubts about the mechanism of this soul mate-is there really a goddess of fate who has decided everything for them in the dark?Thinking about it, I feel unwilling, as if I am a pawn on someone else's chessboard.But I can't ignore the existence of the other party, so I might as well take this opportunity to get to know the other party as Kuroba Kaito.

Of course, you can't get too close to him, otherwise it will be too easy to expose——

"Kuroba-san, sit at the table next to Kudou-san for the next two weeks." The head teacher's voice rang in my ear, "Over there. Kudou-san, please show him."

...I said, don't do this.

Kuroba rejected it all.

Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment when he heard the seat arrangement, then quickly adjusted his mentality, and raised his hand slightly to signal to the new exchange student.

The heart palpitations that I suddenly felt must have been because there were exchange students in the class.Kudo Shinichi found a reason for himself.What reason could there be?At most, it was just the surprise that the other party's face resembled his own.

He watched Heiyu walk off the podium, walked to the empty table on his left with his bag and sat down, nodded to him with a smile, turned his head and greeted the people on his right and behind.The girl sitting in front of him also turned her head, made a friendly acquaintance with Hei Yu, and gave her name.Hei Yu greeted everyone with a smile, and even chatted briefly.

Kudo sat there watching the other party's appearance of being at ease in the surrounding area, and raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

"Detective Kudo." Black Feather turned his head and blinked at him, "I'm asking for your advice during this time." ——If you come, let it be, opportunists are like Kaitou Kidd, so you have to make more use of it Here's the chance.

Kudo was stunned for a moment.

"You know me?" He subconsciously said it, and then he realized that it was an inappropriate opening statement, and smiled at him with some embarrassment, "—Sorry, I'm not in a good state recently. I'm Kudo Shin One, please give me more advice.”

Black Feather curled the corner of his mouth.

"It's nothing. Besides, it's normal to know the famous detective of Kanto high school student! I've read a lot of reports about you,"——just a few weeks ago, we actually met each other, oh, Coincidentally, we still seem to be soul mates. You said it was a surprise or not—"Kudou-san is really amazing. He helped solve so many cases. There are many students in our class who like you very much."

Kuroba Kaito later heard his childhood friend Aoko Nakamori talking about Kudo Shinichi, so he became curious, so he went to ask. Unexpectedly, the other party rolled his eyes at him and suggested to him that he should start from the top of the mountain. Li Duo came out to have a look and learn from Kudou, instead of doing nothing like this every day.That day he found out that Kudo Shinichi was also very famous among his peers, and he inevitably had a subtle feeling in his heart—Kaito Kidd was also very famous among his peers, but no one knew it was him.

Kudo blushed a little, waved his hands quickly, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's all random reports in the newspapers, it's not that exaggerated."

"Don't be modest, it's obvious to all—ah, speaking of it, can I borrow Kudo-san's class schedule? Ohashi-sensei hasn't had time to print a copy for me yet." Kuroba clasped his hands together and looked at Kudo eagerly.

Kudo felt as if his face was going to burn when he saw him, nodded in a panic, lowered his head and took out the schedule from his folder, avoiding Kuroba's sight, and handed the schedule to him.

Kuroba looked at Kudo Shinichi, who turned his face slightly to hand him the timetable, as if a feather swept across his heart, and the numb feeling spread throughout his body like an electric current.

—something...not good.

Lunch break is long overdue.

After talking to Kudo intentionally or unintentionally all morning, he successfully joined the eating group with Kudo, Mori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko. The three Teidan high school students walked around the campus with an exchange student. Then, they sat down cross-legged under a big leafy tree beside the playground, and took out their lunch boxes from their bags.

The noon sun fell from overhead through the gaps in the leaves, sporadically reflecting light spots on the ground.Kuroba Kaito inadvertently turned his head and saw Kudo who was unpacking the bento bag with downcast eyes. He was dazed when he saw it, and his eyes were firmly attracted to Kudo Shinichi.

In the quiet noon, there is only the rustling sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and occasionally there are birds flying across the blue sky above, and there is a faint chirping sound.Kudo Shinichi pursed his lips subconsciously, a bit of breathtaking blue was gracefully revealed in his eyes.His side face was covered with light, from this angle, Kuroba could even see the clearly visible fur on his face.His black hair was dyed a little brown due to the sun, and it was softly attached to his fair neck, with graceful lines, so gentle in the spring breeze that it seemed to be able to melt ice.

As if noticing Kuroba's gaze, Kudo raised his eyes, and their gazes intersected in the quiet air, sparks faintly sparked.

The two turned their faces away at the same time in the next second.

"that--"

"Kudou-san—"

The two opened their mouths at the same time and closed their mouths at the same time.

They subconsciously looked at each other again, looked at each other, and then invariably frowned at each other and smiled.

Moorilan and Suzuki Sonoko next to each other were holding boxed lunches, chatting while eating, totally oblivious to the little episode between Kudo and Kuroba, the crisp and melodious voices danced in the air.Kudo lowered his head and began to eat, as if a brisk symphony was playing in his heart, and even some of the bentos he was used to eating became relish.

He couldn't help but think with a smile, Kaito Kuroba is really an interesting person.
