Conan: The Mechanic

"Hmm..." After Qianyu walked into the furniture store, she was taken aback by what she saw.

The whole furniture store is much more luxurious than the last time he came here, and the scale and decoration have risen by more than one step.

"It's you!" The new owner of the Kasugano family whom Chiba had met before greeted him. "Want to buy something?"

"I want to order some security organs," Chiba said. "Security organs for doors and windows."

When people are unhappy, it is said that they can recover their mood by burning money to buy things. Only now does Qianyu realize that this is true.

"Okay..." The owner's expression was a little serious. "Although I'm not good at designing this kind of security mechanism, I will try my best, come with me."

"You don't need to design it," Qianyu shook her head. "The design of this kind of agency has always been done by me, and the old shop owner usually does it for me according to my requirements."

"Ah..." The shopkeeper scratched his head in embarrassment. "Okay... please come with me. Ifobe! Look at the front desk!"

Ifo Ministry? Qian Yu was slightly surprised when she heard the surname.

He had only heard this surname once, but Qianyu felt that this Ifobu was probably the one he knew.

"Yes!" As the familiar voice sounded, the red-haired woman walked out of a door leading to the workshop in the background. "Al?"

Ifukube Yahiro looked at Chiba curiously. "hello…"

Sure enough... If Kasugano's furniture store has a clerk whose surname is Ifukube, the Ifokbe Yahiro, who lives with Oukiran, is naturally the most likely candidate.

"Why are you here?" Qian Yu wondered.

"Isn't it just a whim?" Ifukube Hachiko glanced at him. "I suddenly wanted to work part-time, and then I found this furniture store from Kasugano's family—ah, now this furniture store seems to have received two strong capital injections, so it has been upgraded to a wood products store. As long as it is wood products, this place will be are capable of getting it.”

"Little guy, aren't you coming in yet?" The shopkeeper stood at the door of the workshop and turned his head to ask.

"Ah, here I come!"

…

Tachibana mansion, the door opened after the door lock was issued.

"..." Qianyu opened the door, took a look and found that there was no one in the room, and then let out a sigh of relief - if Haibara Ai was in the room now, Qianyu didn't know how to face her. .

After pouring a glass of white wine, Qianyu took a sip and walked up to the second floor with the wine glass, returning to her room.

It was fine when I didn't think of it, but once I thought of Haibara Ai again, my thoughts immediately became confused again.

She put the wine she had only drank on the bedside table, and threw her schoolbag on the chair. Qianyu lay down on her bed.

I couldn't help caring about her, and her image appeared repeatedly in my mind, especially her faint smile.

This is Qianyu's more than seventeen years, more than 6,000 days, 150,000 days, 131 seconds, and has never experienced an emotion—complete confusion, chaotic thoughts that come from nowhere. . . These emotions spread like a plague.

Qianyu glanced at the wine glass in the corner of her eye and sighed.

As Li Bai said, is it more sad to raise a glass to pour out one's sorrow?

Next, Qianyu lay on the bed like a corpse, only the eyelids would be closed occasionally to moisten the dull eyes-by the way, to prove that he was still alive.

Haibara Ai, what kind of existence does he have for himself?

impression of her. . . Knowledgeable and mature. . . Uh. . . Also looks good. . . In addition to the occasional sharp rants, he has a good temper. . .

But even so, that was a child ten years younger than him! Seventeen year old likes a seven year old? Crazy? Humbert didn't do that either, did he? (Humbert, the male protagonist of the novel "lolita", married the landlady because he was obsessed with the landlady's daughter... yes, this classic 1958 novel was probably the inspiration for "a father's love like a mountain"... )

Yes, ten years short. . .

Qianyu's expression suddenly relaxed. There is a natural moat like ten years old, and he can temporarily persuade his heart to calm down. . .

If ten years later, if you still like her, then let's talk about it.

After all, if he could change back, he would basically have to say goodbye to everyone including Haibara Ai, so naturally he wouldn't have to worry about that. Neither turn back, why did not forget. Tomorrow and night, you are a stranger.

If you don't change back within ten years. . .

If it didn't change back, after spending ten years of nutritious student time again, both myself and Haibara Ai would probably be at the mental age of 17. If fate really drove him to this path, then he would choose to follow his own heart.

Qianyu sat up from the bed and took a deep breath, her eyes no longer confused.

This matter has nothing to do with me for a short time. Don't think about it now.

Chiyu felt a little hungry, so she decided to go to the kitchen downstairs to get something to eat.

When he opened the door, Haibara Ai, who was holding food, happened to pass by the door of his room, obviously planning to go back to the room.

The two looked at each other.

Although she has cleared up her mood, she found that the influence of her feelings towards Haibara Ai is difficult to eliminate~www.NovelMTL.com~ Chiba now doesn't know how to face Haibara Ai. The gentle expression that was most commonly used to Haibara Ai had now turned into a flame that scorched Chiyu's heart. He was really afraid that the emotions he had managed to hide would burst out again.

Calm down, calm down.

The corner of his mouth that was about to be raised was immediately suppressed, replaced by a mechanized polite expression.

Afterwards, both of them immediately averted their eyes and looked in other directions.

Haibara Ai stagnated for a moment and then continued, and after Haibara Ai left, Chiba calmly walked out as if she didn't see anything.

Both of them have their own secrets, and these secrets are like a high platform raised under their feet. In their own eyes, they and the other have such insurmountable obstacles. But as long as any one of them tells the other their secret, the two towers will be placed side by side in their hearts, and the so-called insurmountable obstacle will cease to exist.

However, no one would do that. After all, if you tell the other party your story, the other party will definitely think that he is crazy. Frankly speaking, there may be a 0.00001% chance of success, but it also means that there is a 99.99999% chance of creating an insurmountable gap between yourself and the other party. After all, even if the other party doesn't think that he is delusional, he will probably retreat because of the age difference between the two parties.

Although it is very likely that you will only lose everything if you wait, but if you make it clear now, I am afraid it will mean immediate loss.

Let this dream last longer, even if it is just a dream, just a dream without hope, let this dream wake up later.

There was a sigh in the kitchen and Haibara Ai's room at the same time.
