[Conan/Through Her] Fairy's Indus

Before Ruri could say "That sounds too pitiful", she suddenly felt that the ground beneath her feet was shaking unnaturally with a familiar frequency.

She stopped talking, and the three islanders exchanged glances with each other, confirming the information they had received.

They are all familiar with the magnitude of this shaking. This is an earthquake.

It's a natural disaster, but it's also a glimmer of hope.

Ruri and Toru Amuro acted decisively, grabbing Kinoshita from the left and right, and they fell to the ground together.

In a world filled with thermal weapons, earthquakes would be exponentially more lethal.

The resistance soldiers, who had little experience in dealing with earthquakes, only thought that the sudden ceasefire between the two men meant that they finally ran out of bullets. They just ran two steps in that direction excitedly, when suddenly the world changed and the earth shook.

The sound of explosives being detonated due to the earthquake came from the enemy camp, and the roar of harvesting life was overwhelming, one after another.

When Toru Amuro and Yuya Kazami worked together to dig out Ruri from the sand and gravel, she was protecting Miss Kinoshita underneath her and both lost consciousness.

Yuya Kazama immediately rushed forward, but Toru Amuro shook his hands slightly and staggered back two steps.

Her wretched, lifeless look was so similar to everyone he had casually killed in the past.

Toru Amuro recalled inappropriately the time he killed a young policeman in front of her many years ago.

At that time, he couldn't understand why a girl valued the life of an insignificant stranger so much. When asked why he wanted to kill the other person, he just answered lightly, "He is unlucky."

Because of such random reasons, he took away so many lives, and the loss of those lives would be so unbearable for those who loved them.

At this moment, Toru Amuro finally understood completely.

What pulled him back from hell to the human world was the words that Kazama shouted with tears of joy: "They are all still alive!"

It was as if a man who had been deprived of oxygen for a long time finally got a breath of oxygen that represented life. For a moment, he thanked God sincerely.

The power returned to his limbs instantly, and he rushed forward faster than his chaotic consciousness. Together with everyone who came to help, he put the two wounded people on the belated rescue helicopter.

On the way back to Japan, Ruri briefly sobered up.

The first sentence she asked was how the hostage lady was doing, and the second sentence she asked about Bo himself.

Toru Amuro gently touched the back of her hand and responded in a low voice, "I'm here."

"Don't leave..." The girl breathed out the third sentence. After hearing Toru Amuro's promise of "Yes, I won't leave," she tilted her head and fell into sleep again.

Miss Kinoshita clicked her tongue several times after witnessing everything.

Toru Amuro remained unmoved, his gaze always staying on the face of the unconscious girl.

There was an expression on his face that no one else had ever seen before, so gentle that it was almost pious.

The memories of seven years ago, which were as distant as the previous life and had been deliberately sealed away, are now alive again.The scenes shown in front of him were like a revolving lantern, and Toru Amuro couldn't control himself from recalling it all.

When they first met, he was attracted by the girl's clean and fragile temperament, and developed a dark possessive desire for those beautiful sapphires.The process of coaxing her into his cage was particularly smooth. She was unguarded against his presence and even trusted him too much.But Bourbon could detect that when she looked at him, she was not looking at him, but looking at someone else through him.

Bourbon is smart enough. Although he lacks empathy, he has high enough emotional intelligence and IQ to help him analyze and judge other people's emotions.

He began to feel unwilling.

I hope she can see more of myself and my truer self.

I want to be watched clearly by that child.

And smart bourbon always succeeds.

After the flawless scam in which the deal with the artificial intelligence was completed, Bourbon succeeded in getting her to focus on him.

She has the gentlest eyes and the most tolerant heart. She is indeed as he thought, able to look into all his darkness.

But being stared at by this light-like child, Bourbon began to feel at a loss.

Only when light appears does darkness know that it is darkness.

I have seen the worst side of human nature since I was a child, and my dark side has been infinitely magnified under the deliberate guidance of the organization. I have been molded into a three-dimensional outlook that regards all humans except myself as ants, and I naturally ignore life and naturally hate the world. , and all these parts that he had never doubted in the past suddenly became inappropriate under the gaze of those eyes.

Some of the things he was born with seemed to be difficult for him to accept.

Who is frankly expressing his possessiveness, and who is childishly declaring "You are my cat." The soft girl seems easy to knead, but in the end, I don't know who has tamed whom.

——The moment Bourbon started to care about her thoughts, he had already lost everything.

Ruri suffered a severe concussion after being hit by debris from the earthquake. She lay in a coma in the police hospital for half a month before she finally woke up.

When she woke up, she thought she was still on the surrounded and desperate battlefield. The clear roaring sounds in her sleep receded like the tide the moment she opened her eyes. She was still a little overwhelmed when she saw the bright and clean ward.

The half-cup of water on the bedside was still warm. She took it and drank it in one gulp. She smacked her lips and felt that it was not enough, so she decided to get up and pour another glass.But she didn't notice that her legs, which she had been lying on for a few days, were weak and numb. The moment her feet stepped on the ground, she screamed in her heart. She subconsciously grabbed the infusion stand next to her and took the stand with her. He fell to the ground with a crash.

When Toru Amuro pushed open the door and rushed in, she was curled up on the messy ground, covering her knees that were hurt by the fall, showing a grimace of pain.

The moment she saw Toru Amuro, her expression went from ferocious to shocked to blushing with embarrassment in less than a second.

Ruri wanted to crawl into the ground at that moment.

Fortunately, Toru Amuro didn't show any strange expression. He walked over to her and carried her back to the hospital bed with a normal expression. He checked her knee and saw that it was not injured. He calmly said, "Want to drink some water?"

"Um……"

"Don't move around, I'll pour it for you."

"I still want to drink bubble milk tea... I want chocolate flavor, without ice, [-]% sugar."

"Okay." Amuro Toru's eyes filled with smiles, "Is there anything else you want to explain?"

"I want to eat the ham sandwich you made later." Ruri pulled the quilt and covered her face, "Come back quickly."

"learn."

I still felt embarrassed when I was holding the milk tea.

"Um..." Player Ruri took a sip of chocolate milk tea and broke the silence first, "Miss Kinoshita, how are you?"

"Her condition is not very good," Tohru Amuro replied. "Her ankle injury was delayed for too long. The infection is serious and both legs need to be amputated."

"That's it..." Ruri lowered her head sadly, and Toru Amuro rubbed her hair, "But thanks to you, she saved her life. She was quite optimistic and said that she would be able to heal her injuries. I want to thank you properly."

Ruri scratched her face in embarrassment: "Eh? That's what I should do..."

Toru Amuro smiled gently with the corners of his mouth curved and did not answer.

The air fell into awkward silence again.

"..." Player Ruri spoke again, "Seven years ago, the drink you bought me at the airport was also chocolate-flavored bubble milk tea."

"Yes, I remember." Toru Amuro said.

"That time, after I fell asleep, I dreamed of him." Ruri whispered.

Toru Amuro was stunned, "You mean..."

"Scotland." Ruri confirmed, "However, I prefer to call him Zhufu Jingguang."

"Zhufu Jingguang...is this his real name?" Amuro Toru sighed, "I finally know...it's a really good name."

Ruri smiled and said, "He told me in his dream that you, a heartless man, promised to take me to the end of the world with you, but you left me and ran away."

Toru Amuro:  …

"Ah, of course, that's not what he said. He said it more tactfully. He said that you chose to let me go. So, I also got a chance to choose." Ruri tilted his head, "He said, if I think I can choose to forget everything I've experienced here and get back on track - back to my own world."

Toru Amuro opened his eyes slightly.

"Then I asked him if what Bourbon told me was true. Even if I choose not to go back, there will still be an 'original me' who will live a life that belongs to the 'normal world'.

"'It's true. Because, that's the setting for Bourbon Decision.'

"So I said, 'Then I don't want to go back.'" Ruri looked straight at Toru Amuro, who could no longer hide his shock, "'Because the bourbon in this world still owes me a wish.'"

"You haven't forgotten, have you? Seven years ago, you owed me a wish."

"I...of course, I haven't forgotten." Toru Amuro replied sternly.

It's a small book that belongs to two people. It's about the agreement that "first write a hundred pages of things you like, and then you can make a request to the other person."

By coincidence, the day they arrived at the airport happened to be the day the book was turned to page 1.

Ruri was already waiting for Bourbon to finish writing the last page and then make a wish to herself, but Bourbon looked at the blank page for a long time and finally handed the notebook to Ruri.

"You win, little girl." Bourbon said with a flawless smile, "Say your wish."

Ruri took the notebook in surprise and said dully: "Eh... me?"

"Have you not thought about it?" Bourbon smiled and touched her head, his voice as gentle as singing a lullaby, "It doesn't matter, you can think about it slowly, we still have a long, long time."

That was the last lie he told her.

After a while, she fell into a coma under the influence of the drug.

"So, I'm going to make a wish!" Ruri announced.

"I want you to stay and never leave again. Stay with me."

Amuro Toru stared blankly at those clear sapphire blue eyes.

The position seems to be reversed.

Seven years ago, he met her and kept her close to him, but in the end he chose to let her go.

Seven years later, she found him, but asked him not to run away.

"But, why..." Toru Amuro suddenly felt like laughing, so he laughed, "You should obviously hate me, you should stay away from me, you should want me to die somewhere in the world, and never show up. It's only right to interfere with your life in front of you... I should be your psychological shadow, right? Why? "

Ruri put her palm on his face with disgust and rubbed it hard, "Hey, stop laughing. You should look in the mirror. Such a beautiful face turned into such an ugly look because of your smile."

"Have you forgotten? I promised to go with you myself, but you broke the promise, so this is what you owe me."

"Um...I owe you...?"

"Yes, you used to bully the weak and force me to be your cat. After making an agreement with me to escape together, you left me and flew by yourself. I still remember these old debts clearly. It's all you owe me. Yes, so from now on, you have to treat me as my dog."?

She said insulting words, but her expression did not mean the slightest bit of contempt. There was an excited smile on her little face, and the sapphire was shining beautifully, "So, come and become our police dog and serve me." Bar--!"

Toru Amuro could guess it with her feet. She must have secretly rehearsed these two-part lines countless times before she could speak them so smoothly.

She probably thought about it for a long time, how to win the game in a showy way if she found him.

"I'm super happy now" is written all over his face, and his cute and proud look is exactly the same as in the past.

Perhaps because of her influence, Toru Amuro had the over-the-top idea of ​​"I will protect this smile" in her mind.

Is your brain broken?

However, no matter how hard your heart is, it will be melted by such a child.

How could things unfold like this?

Amuro Toru couldn't understand why, after seven years, this child could still become his light easily.

If you can’t think clearly, just stop thinking about it.

He smiled helplessly and kissed the back of her hand, willingly offering his loyalty like the princess's guardian knight.

When he raised his eyes again, his purple-gray eyes were full of reflections of that person, illuminated by the faint light.
