[Conan/Through Her] Fairy's Indus

Ruri went to the small supermarket near her home where she often visited and applied for a job. With her youthful and cute appearance, she successfully got the job of selling promotional products.

The boss is a very warm-hearted and kind person. Probably because she was at an age where she should obviously go to school, he even asked her with concern, "If she goes to full-day classes, doesn't it matter where the school is?"

After Ruri replied that she didn't have to go to school for the time being, the boss showed a look of understanding. He probably thought she was a silly child who ran away from home during the rebellious period to experience society. He sighed with emotion, "This is youth" while generously covering her. lunch.

As a temporary worker, the treatment provided by this small supermarket is very good. It is indeed a supermarket that she has been patronizing since she was a child. Ruri is very satisfied.

Toru Amuro knew about this almost immediately. After Ruri came home from work on the first day, he asked her why she suddenly went to work.

Ruri was surprised why he asked this question, and told him seriously that if you don't work, you won't have food. This is the rule of this society.

"So, didn't I leave enough money for you? I thought you knew that the card was at your disposal." Toru Amuro said helplessly, "I'm very rich, and I can't afford to have a meal like yours." Well, just let me take care of you."

It's a pity that the little girl has a persistence that Toru Amuro can't understand in this regard, "No, I'm not a 10-year-old child. I'm already 17 years old, and I'm almost an adult. You and I are not related, so why? I can rely on you to support me, and..."

Toru Amuro crossed his chest and pointed out sharply, "Teenagers who like to emphasize that they have grown up are actually just children who do not understand the dangers of society."

Ruri blinked and suddenly laughed, "Eh? Am I still a child in your eyes?"

Toru Amuro narrowed his eyes, feeling that he couldn't answer this question, so he started another topic and asked her with concern, "By the way, are you used to the supermarket employee food?"

The smile on Ruri's face froze as she had been spoiled by Amuro Tohru for many years.

Toru Amuro felt funny in his heart, but still pretended to sigh on his face: "Well, since you want to be independent and earn money by working on your own, I will also respect and support your choice. Then I will cook at home, Aren’t you going to do your part?”

This sentence successfully caused a critical damage to the little girl. The corners of her raised lips dropped instantly, and she loudly accused the ruthless man with a sad face and aggrieved: "How could you do this!"

Of course Toru Amuro can do this.

So poor Ruri had to go to her boss the next day feeling extremely ashamed and told him that she had been caught by her old father at home and that she could no longer do the work here.

The boss happily settled the day's wages for her, patted her shoulder and kindly advised her to go home and talk to her parents, not to lose her temper, and to go to school as she should, thus ending her short working career. .

The little girl agreed with shame, and before leaving, Toru Amuro dragged her along to purchase a batch of fresh ingredients.

Zai Ruri finally adjusted her somewhat depressed mood and began to look forward to today's delicious dinner. After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but emphasize to Toru Amuro that the cuttlefish in tonight's tempura must be wrapped in more noodles. When the paste was frying, an old woman passing by them tilted her body and fell towards the two of them.

Ruri was startled and subconsciously helped her up. Just when she opened her eyes in surprise because she smelled a familiar smell, she was already pulled behind by Toru Amuro.

The temperature around Toru Amuro seemed to have dropped a few degrees, and she asked in a cold voice: "Belmod, what are you doing?"

"Ah la." The old lady made a royal voice that only a mature woman can have. She stood up straight with her rickety body, tore off the mask on her face and said with a smile, "Justajoke! It's not a gentleman to be so mean to a lady. Behavior oh bourbon.”

Unfortunately, Toru Amuro didn't seem to care whether his behavior was a gentleman. He squeezed the wrist of the little girl he was holding and gave Belmod a cold look, probably signaling to the witch that she had to fart quickly.

"Boring man." Belmod rolled his eyes and said, "I'm here to give you a message. The person asked me to tell you that it's okay to keep pets, but don't forget to do the tasks assigned by the boss. If you are addicted to playing Kitten and delaying business..."

"There's no need for you to sound the alarm for me, I'm sensible." Toru Amuro interrupted her impatiently, "Is this why you came all the way to see me?"

"Of course... no." Bellmode didn't mind either. She rolled her eyes with a smile and landed on the face of the girl who was blocked by Toru Amuro. "Of course I came because, look at Bourbon. The cat is very curious~"

Ruri tilted her head and gave her a friendly smile.

She raised her hand and picked up Ruri's chin, her aqua eyes narrowed, "She is indeed a beautiful kitten. She has unexpectedly good eyesight, Bourbon. I like her attractive blue eyes."

Before the dark-faced Toru Amuro could get angry, Bermod had already let go of his hand, looked at Toru Amuro and said with a smile, "Okay, don't look at me like that, I won't touch your cat."

She winked meaningfully, "I hope you can keep your promise and don't touch my cat~"

After Bellmode left, Ruri sincerely asked Toru Amuro: "Actually, there is a question I have wanted to ask for a long time... You all seem to call humans outside your organization cats. Is that your corporate culture? "

Toru Amuro's expression seemed a little hard to explain: "No...probably."

"Hey~" The little girl's thoughts were very fast, "Ah, but I feel that the beautiful sister looks at me a little strangely."

Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, "What should I say?"

"I just felt...she seemed to be pitying me just now." Ruri scratched her face, "But why she was pitying me, I can't figure it out, so it's probably my illusion."

Amuro said without changing his expression: "Is that so? I don't know either."

"Ah, that's right!" Ruri suddenly clapped her hands and her expression became serious, "Tonight's cuttlefish must be wrapped in a lot of batter!"

The man showed a refreshing smile and said, "Of course, no problem."

Even if he comes to a different world where no one knows him, and even if a few people he cares about in this world have left, Ruri is still not too lonely.

Apart from no longer having to go to school, and some subtle changes in the relationship with relatives and friends, life seems to be the same as before, and I can barely get on with it.

Because Toru Amuro is still the same Toru Amuro, even if he is not the lover she grew up with, he is still the gentle, considerate and omnipotent him.

Although she cares about her relatives, friends and loved ones in the original world, Ruri can also advise herself that it is useless to be anxious about such things. She can also force herself not to think about it and live a good life in this world for the time being.

Until she accidentally saw that scene.

Some things can never be hidden, not to mention that Bourbon, who doesn't care about many things, may not even want to hide it from her.

Walking on the road, she saw a familiar figure in a narrow alley, so the little girl subconsciously chased him. After chasing him, she planned to go home, but unexpectedly saw him at the next corner. At that time, the man was slowly holding the dagger. Rubbing it on the corpse's police uniform, it looked like he was wiping the blood on the dagger.

After putting the clean dagger back into its scabbard, he turned his head as if aware of it, and met Ruri's disbelieving gaze.

The police uniform worn by the man lying on the ground was extremely dazzling. Ruri stumbled over and ran over, threw himself in front of the body and tried to hold down the hideous knife wound on his neck that showed the bone.

Bourbon frowned: "Don't make yourself so dirty. I don't like the strong smell of blood. Don't waste your efforts. People are already dead."

"He..." The girl, who didn't care that her hands were stained with blood, couldn't help but tremble, "He... is he a policeman?"

"Well, if nothing else, this person should indeed be a grassroots policeman."

"Why are you……"

"Why?" Bourbon repeated the question in surprise, as if he thought it was ridiculous, and he actually laughed, "Maybe it's because he was unlucky and ran into something he shouldn't have seen... …What, do you like this little policeman?”

Ruri was speechless.

...I can no longer lie to myself.

No matter how similar he looks on the surface, no matter how gentle he behaves, and no matter how pampering and pampering he treats her, this person is not her zero.

She wanted to ask Amuro Tohru why she didn't kill herself because she had seen more things she shouldn't have seen, but she couldn't ask anymore. She fell to the ground without strength, and tears burst out from her eyes.

Bourbon stared condescendingly at the child who was instantly overwhelmed by the huge sadness. An overwhelming displeasure and irritability surged in his heart. He allowed himself to be patient and waited for her for a while, and finally couldn't help it. He warned, "There is no time for you to calm down slowly. It will be unsafe if you linger here any longer. We should go home."

The little girl sat stiffly on the spot, crying out of breath and stubbornly blocking the dazzling fatal wound with her little hands. She obviously didn't intend to pay attention to him. Bourbon sighed and muttered, "You are the one I won't really do anything to you." He bent down and picked her up without any explanation.

Ruri began to struggle with great anger.

But if this man with the strength of a gorilla wanted to do something to her, she didn't have the strength to resist at all - after finding that she couldn't even break away from his princess hug with all her strength, the little girl became depressed. .

She pursed her lips in grievance, and her hoarse voice could not cover up her heavy crying: "I want to go home..."

On the contrary, Bourbon felt a lot happy because of her forced surrender. He finally regained his usual calmness and smiled gently at her, "Well, we'll go back right now."

The girl was sobbing and shouting angrily: "That's your home! Not my home!"

"Okay, okay," Bourbon patted her back and coaxed her child, "It's what you say. Be good and stop crying."

Ruri was forcibly pressed into his arms, and she could still hear his strong, steady heartbeat. Although his arms were still as warm as she was familiar with, she only felt chills all over her body, and she was dazed. After a while, he twitched his lips and said mockingly, "There are obviously so many signs, but I didn't notice it until just now. I'm so slow..."

Bourbon turned his head and looked at the blue eyes that were no longer bright, "What did you notice?"

"I noticed... you turned out to be Bourbon." Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. "Incompetence, stupidity, evasion and weakness... are my original sins."

"It's okay, baby." Bourbon still smiled, and those deep purple-gray drooping eyes seemed to have the magic power to confuse people's hearts. "Human beings are inherently sinful. The Lord is never merciful, but the devil will accept you."

Ruri closed her eyes and laughed mockingly, "Why, are you going to take me to hell?"

Bourbon also chuckled, "You have to know that I am different from that guy in Belmode. She likes to see her cat get happiness in heaven, but my cat can only stay with me."

The two were silent for a long time, with only the sound of Bourbon's footsteps echoing rhythmically in the narrow alley. It wasn't until they both saw Toru Amuro's white Mazda that the little girl couldn't suppress her anger and despair and spoke again. : "What do you like about me? Can't I change it!?"
