Conan: The Mechanic

Six o'clock in the afternoon, Dorobika Paradise

"Aren't you going to eat Shinichi?" Maurilan was holding a fried sweet, looking at Kudo Shinichi who had just bought one for her and Conan each, and asked curiously.

"I ate something before, so I'm not hungry." Kudo Shin just shook his head, then looked in Conan's direction. "Next, where do you want to go?"

"To be honest, it always feels a little weird," Maolilan said with a slightly troubled look. "To be honest, you seem to be treating guests all the way, and I always feel... a little bit sorry."

"If you talk to ordinary people, it must be true, but I am me," Kudo Shinichi shrugged. "This time itself is because you encountered such a change, so I specially invited you - if it is a normal situation, it will probably be AA? But at least this time, I brought enough budget, so you can do whatever you want. Just buy whatever you want without any scruples.”

Beside him, Conan, who was eating sweets, could not help shivering, and looked at Kudo Shinichi with some resentment and dissatisfaction. And Kudo Shinichi didn't say anything after noticing Conan's resentment, and Quan Dang didn't see it.

"By the way, the one in front seems to be... the mascot of this paradise?" Mao Lilan suddenly looked at a big squirrel doll in front of him-it was a life-size doll dressed as a staff member, and seemed to be Selling a variety of dolls of the same style in different sizes. "I want to buy one, should I be able to?"

"Of course," Kudo Shinichi showed a natural look. "You just buy it, there is no need to ask my opinion - today I am your exclusive personal bodyguard + mobile wallet."

As Kudo Shinichi and Conan could have expected, Maurilan clearly liked the furry doll very much, and chose one of the medium-sized stuffed squirrels, which was just right to be held in his arms like a flannel bear, to his chest. caressed fondly.

But in the end, Mao Lilan did not choose this plush squirrel toy, but after seeing another smaller doll, he put down the bigger one. "Shinichi... how about we buy this one? Buy this smaller one."

"Is the big one expensive?" This was Kudo Shinichi's first reaction, but when he stepped forward and looked at the price tag, he found that the big doll was more expensive than the small one, but It is far from exceeding his purchasing power, so there is no need for Maorilan to restrain himself in this regard. "It's not too expensive, how about you buy this large squirrel?"

"Well... it's not about the price, but I think..." Maurilan took the little squirrel doll and looked at it for a while, but then handed it to Kudo Shinichi, who was already holding the big squirrel doll. "Xinyi, take this, let me see what it looks like."

"I'm holding such a small doll?" Kudo Shin was stunned for a moment, but he complied - he put the large doll back on the table, and then took the small squirrel doll in his hand.

Then he found that the squirrel doll was too small, even so small that it was difficult for him to show it to Xiao Lan.

Under such circumstances, he chose to hold the little squirrel doll in his palms with both hands and show it to Maorilan in this way. "Xiao Lan, do you mean to let me show you like this?"

However, Maurilan seemed to be in a sluggish state of thinking about something, and did not respond to his inquiry.

She seemed to remember something, although it was not clear, but she was sure that it was something that happened before, not a fantasy like a castle in the air.

……

I don't know how long ago, in a park.

"Xiao Lan, do you know what the most attractive treasure here is?" The image of the person in front of him is a bit strange, and a large part seems to be taken from the [Kudou Shinichi] in front of him, while other parts feel a little bit strange. Different - the image of this person is obviously more lively, more energetic and youthful than the Kudo Shinichi in front of him, and it is more in line with his own aesthetics... Maybe it is the Kudo Shinichi that he has quietly beautified in his heart. one?

"I don't know." Although Mao Lilan didn't open his mouth, he still seemed to hear his answer.

"Come on, close your eyes and open your palms." Following Kudo Shinichi's request, Xiao Lan realized that Kudo Shinichi was putting his hands behind his back, as if there was something hidden behind him.

【What could it be? 】With such curiosity, Mao Lilan obediently closed his eyes, and put his hands together in a gesture of getting ready to pick up things.

Then he realized that Kudo Shinichi's hands touched hers.

Seriously, Mao Lilan has no memory of this incident at all, but at this moment, she seems to be able to really feel the emotions she was carrying at that time.

It was an unprecedented tension.

"Shin... Shinichi?" Just when she was so nervous but closed her eyes with a little greed, secretly sensing the touch of Kudo Shinichi's hand, something unexpected happened. "Ah! What is this?"

Something tiny suddenly began to tap on the tips of her fingers that were close together.

"Okay Xiaolan, now you can open your eyes." Kudo Shinichi said with a rather smug tone.

"What... ah!" As soon as Mao Lilan opened her eyes, she saw what was beating her fingers rhythmically~www.NovelMTL.com~ It was a small and cute squirrel.

"A squirrel?" Mao Lilan carefully picked up the little squirrel, and slowly moved it to him without scaring the other party. "so cute!"

In order not to frighten this little guy, Maurilan deliberately used a very soft tone. "Is this the aboriginal here?"

"Yeah," Kudo Shinichi's smile and smugness were evident. "This little guy loves this kind of place - would you consider feeding him something? I brought his favorite nuts and bread."

"Nuts and bread, do you know what it likes to eat?" Xiao Lan asked curiously.

"To be precise, squirrels like to eat these the most," Kudo Shinichi introduced with a smile. "Squirrels are teeth-grinding animals, so there's nothing wrong with giving them some hard food like nuts. At the same time, bread that's soft enough to be soaked in milk is really good for their digestive system. You can also feed them the food you love. How about you, let's try it?"

Still immersed in such memories, the real Mao Lilan also showed a sweet smile.

In front of her, Conan showed some confusion about the reason for her smile, but in the end he chose to admire her beautiful smile.

And Kudo Shin just stood there, maintaining the posture of picking up the little squirrel, and even if Mao Lilan had really been in a daze for a long time, after leaving him in the cold for a long time enough to arouse the dissatisfaction of ordinary people, he just put that Mao Lilan He also picked up the large squirrel doll he held at first, and continued to quietly wait for Maorilan's response.

It's like he has infinite patience and never has any negative emotions.
