[Conan/Through Her] Fairy's Indus

Bourbon himself didn't know why, but recently he often thought of a cat kitten that appeared in his childhood.

Bourbon remembered it very clearly. It was a cat with only soft cream-yellow fur on its back. Its belly and legs were clean white, and its eyes were watery amber.

That cat was like a little angel that accidentally broke into his world. It was a very smart and spiritual little guy, and the young Toru Amuro liked it very much.It probably also liked this little boy very much. From time to time it would come to the house to play with him. It would rub his hands, coo at him, and circle around his ankles.

But it only gets close to him and not to other children.

The favor of the beautiful and proud cat greatly satisfied Toru Amuro's vanity. When he was secretly proud, he did not know that jealousy would sprout, infect and grow in the hearts of other children.

Until the worst happens and everything becomes irreversible.

Children's malice is always direct and cruel. For example, they will isolate Toru Amuro because his hair color and skin color are different from everyone else's. Of course, they will also choose to hurt Toru Amuro because the cat only gets close to him.

When they playfully grabbed it, pulled its limbs and tail, poured boiling water on it, hung it up and lit a lighter and approached it, the young Toru Amuro did not rush to stop it.

There were too many children in that group, and most of them were bigger than him. He knew clearly that he couldn't beat them.

He stared at the cat that screamed in the hands of the children, and for several seconds he met the kitten's eyes.

Little Amuro Toru thought, it turns out that the little mouth that makes the cute "meow, meow, meow" sound can also make such a sad and tragic wail, and those big and bright eyes that are always as clear and beautiful as glass beads, He could still emit such hopeless and spiteful light.

He was originally a proud, yet simple and gentle child.

The kitten suddenly struggled to escape the shackles of the children, and then the scene turned into a chase inside the house.The exits were quickly blocked by the children, and the desperate kitten finally chose to escape to the balcony.

Beyond the protective fence, there is a 6-story building with free sky.

Before the kitten pounced outside without hesitation, it took one last look back at Toru Amuro, who had been hiding from everyone in the house and watching it silently.

A few seconds later, the children gathered around the balcony and looked down burst into sarcastic laughter.

"Hey! Blonde boy! Your cat fell to death!"

Ruri breathed softly, "...What happened next?"

"Later..." Bourbon squinted his eyes and recalled for a while, and then he seemed to remember it. He showed a cute and naughty smile, "By the way, later, I got a lock."

So the young boy used the little scientific knowledge he had to carefully arrange a locked cage, put the murderers he thought were guilty in, and finally set a fire.

As a result, those children who are vicious, or just go along with the trend, and it doesn't matter what they actually are, have no chance to grow up.

It turns out that the screams they make are no different from the sounds of cats.

——Because of this, the boss of the organization fell in love with him when he was still a child.

Ruri pursed her lips and rolled herself up again gloomily.

Bourbon touched her head comfortingly, "Don't worry, I am no longer the weak and incompetent me I used to be. No one can bully my cat now."

"I'm not worried about this..." The little girl felt her heart throbbing and hurt, and she still wanted to be angry. She muttered, "Besides, I'm not your cat."

"Okay, okay," Bourbon smiled indulgently and thoughtfully changed the topic, "What would Ruri want to eat for dinner today?"

"I don't want to have dinner." She clenched her hands around her knees and repeated stubbornly for an unknown number of times, "I just want to go home."

There was an electronic projection of a half-grown boy standing in the empty room. He nodded slightly to the two people who entered the room: "I've been waiting for you, two of you."

Ruri, who was brought here by Bourbon, was startled and opened his eyes slightly: "You are..."

The handsome and cute boy showed a very shallow smile: "Hello, lady from another world, I don't know if you know me, my name is Noah's Ark."

"Noah's Ark...why are you in the organization's territory?" The little girl took two steps forward in shock, "Shouldn't you be...dead?"

Noah's Ark nodded clearly: "It seems that in the world you came from, I successfully committed suicide."

Bourbon leaned against the wall at the entrance and laughed casually: "It's a pity that in this world, this artificial intelligence did not die smoothly and is now the property of the organization."

Noah's Ark did not refute, Ruri looked back at Bourbon dumbfounded: "Did you do it?"

Bourbon laughed happily: "Have you locked onto me so quickly? It seems that the Bourbon in your world is really a [-]% 'good guy'..."

Ruri stared with guarded eyes, "What do you want to do by bringing me here to see him?"

Bourbon raised his eyebrows, and Noah's Ark took over the words, "I am interested in you and want to talk to you, so I asked Bourbon to bring you to see me."

Ruri looked at the shadow of the half-grown boy again in surprise.

The boy said to himself: "After being brought to the organization, I set the direction of my growth towards observing and calculating the universe - black holes, relativity, and the possibility of the existence of parallel universes are all within the scope of my observation and learning. You know the law of conservation of matter, right? The total amount of all matter in a universe remains unchanged."

Noah's Ark paused, probably giving Ruri time to digest. Ruri looked at him with wide eyes, not sure whether he was shocked or confused. The little boy calculated the average length of time for humans to digest information, and followed the appropriate timing. He continued, "It just so happens that the parallel universe you come from is also one of the several parallel universes I have observed and monitored. The day you came to this world, I discovered that our universe suddenly had more mass. A little bit more – an extra human mass.”

Ruri murmured: "It's impossible..."

Noah's Ark smiled: "The potential of science is endless. Humans hundreds of years ago didn't believe you could go to the moon."

"However," Noah's Ark became serious again, "the total mass of our universe has increased, but the mass of any parallel universe has not decreased."

Ruri felt her scalp numb, "...What do you mean?"

Noah's Ark sighed, "It means that you are not actually Amuro Ruri of that universe you thought she was. She is still living as usual in her own universe, and you are just being ignored by this universe like a program error. Be careful of the copy of the child from that world in this universe - to put it simply, you are not Amuro Ruri herself, you are just her swamp person."

Ruri's eyes opened as wide as possible.

For a moment she felt like she couldn't breathe.

After a while, she moved her lips slightly and said in a soft voice, "That is to say, that world does exist. The me of that world... the Amuro Ruri of that world has not disappeared, and she is still with her nicely. Do we all live together?”

There was a bit more human sympathy in Noah's Ark's eyes, but he still nodded and simply affirmed the little girl's question.

Ruri's legs softened and she almost fell to the ground. Bourbon, who had been paying attention to her, caught her in time. Then Bourbon heard the little girl crying in relief and saying in a hoarse voice: "It's great..."

Bourbon lowered his head in surprise, almost thinking he heard wrongly, "What did you say was great?"

Ruri used the strength he gave her to stand firm and showed a somewhat difficult smile, "They... they are still alive in that world, and those people are not worried about me because I disappeared suddenly and are looking for me... This That's great……"

Bourbon looked at her in shock, and for a moment felt himself boiling with rage.He squeezed her shoulders hard and asked her almost out of control: "Then it doesn't matter what happens to you!?"

Ruri stared blankly at this man who looked exactly like her lover, and suddenly she could no longer restrain her desire to cry.

It was clear to her now that she would never see them again.

No, it should be said that she has never seen them, let alone owned them. She has nothing, she is just a...bug that has only existed in this world for more than ten days.

But the emotion of endless longing, overwhelming reluctance and pain will not be reduced by half because of this.

Bourbon wordlessly took the wailing girl into his arms, and for the first time she didn't struggle.

By the time Ruri gathered her emotions, almost an hour had passed.

She cried with tears all over her face. She didn't know whether her flushed face was caused by lack of oxygen from crying or because she was embarrassed after realizing her gaffe.The shirt on Bourbon's chest has been soaked with her tears. She couldn't stop crying and burping, her eyes dodged and she said intermittently: "Thank you... thank you for comforting me... that... soiled your clothes." I'm sorry..."

"It's okay," Bourbon gently stroked the top of her head, "Rather than that, what do you want to do next?"

The little girl's blue eyes were still filled with water, and she blinked blankly: "How to do...what do you mean?"

"Before this, didn't you just want to go home? You felt that you didn't belong to this world, you were just a passerby in this world, so you chose to avoid many things, not to listen, not to see, not to think. "Boben said slowly in a coaxing voice, "But now Noah's Ark tells you that you have no place to go. This world is your world, and everything you experience now is what connects you to your future. This is your life, so what do you want to do now?"

"Now...?" Her eyes gradually became clearer, she was no longer shy and evasive, she looked directly at Bourbon and said, "Now, it's not what I want, but what you want from me, right?"

Bourbon smiled, "That's right. I have never concealed my thoughts. I want you to be my cat. If you are willing to cooperate, it will be better. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter if you want to run or resist. Just continue to escape. It doesn’t matter if you face reality, no matter what you choose, I should find it interesting... You can’t escape or escape anyway.”

"But why?" the little girl asked puzzlingly, "Do you like me?"

"Like it?" A mocking smile immediately appeared on Bourbon's face, "How is that possible? That's too ridiculous."

Ruri stared at him calmly for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something, and finally nodded, "You're right, I can't go back, and that world doesn't belong to me. I should face up to my existence in this world, and take a good look at it. face your existence."

Bourbon was startled, and saw that the corner of the little girl's mouth curled into an arc that could be called stubbornness. For the first time, his figure was clearly reflected in those beautiful sapphires, "I have never seen you before. , I'm sorry. From now on, I will watch you carefully."

"Sorry to bother you," Noah's Ark clapped his hands and calmly interjected, "Actually, I haven't finished what I want to say to Miss Ruri."
