Conan: I won’t clean up my innocence after joining the organization

Ai Tanihara of a certain world line.

[Note: This world line has nothing to do with the main plot]

The girl's smile seemed to break the depression that had been hidden in her heart just now.

It was also the moment when I realized that I might like Tanihara Ai.

Seeing Tanihara again, Matsuda Jinpei suddenly felt a little nervous.

Wearing the new dress she saw in a magazine, she spun around several times but received no response from Jinpei Matsuda.

Ai Tanihara looked down at the skirt she was wearing, and then she made up her mind and began to look through the fashion magazine again.

Time flies and it’s time for everyone to graduate.

Chisuke Hagiwara, who had been notified early, hugged his two younger brothers one by one, and gave the camera to Datehan to take pictures.

Just as he was about to take the photo, Matsuda Jinpei looked at Ai Tanihara, who was floating in the air and looking at the photo with his big eyes.

He pursed his lips and stretched out his hand again.

"Monitor, wait a moment."

Datehang's hand that pressed the shutter stopped in the air.

"what happened?"

"Nothing..." Under the gaze of everyone, Matsuda Jinpei looked at the air.

He seemed to have muttered something under his breath, and his eyebrows rose.

"It's time to start."

At this time, Ai Tanihara, who was called, floated beside him.

Facing the camera, Ai Tanihara thought for a while and gestured with her hands.

The shutter is pressed.

However, when he walked over and took a look, there was still no figure of Ai Tanihara in the photo.

Even myself who can see Tanihara Ai can't.

But this photo was still developed and placed by his bedside.

in the room.

Tanihara Ai stared at the photo that didn't include her and tilted her head.

She glanced at Matsuda Jinpei, who was about to pick up the boxing gloves and practice again, pointed at the photo, and spoke out.

"There is no me here, Matsuda-kun."

So it feels a bit wasteful to cut this photo to such a large size.

Matsuda Jinpei's hand holding the glove paused.

He walked towards the bed.

"I'm going to go to bed."

Being suddenly reminded, Tanihara Ai nodded blankly and floated back to the living room.

Floating all the way to the shrine in the corner of the living room, Ai Tanihara's figure was kneeling on the futon in front of her.

Tapping the spoon, Ai Tanihara looked at the woman in the black and white photo in front of her and smiled.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect him."

Tanihara Ai's light voice echoed in the living room.

Although it was just a casual promise in the eyes of others, now it was sincere in Tanihara Ai's mouth, making it impossible to deny.

in the room.

Matsuda Jinpei retreated into bed.

A pair of eyes were exposed from the quilt, and he looked directly at the photo.

He curled his lips.

"Fool."

Time flies, and it is now a few months after Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji entered the explosive ordnance disposal class.

Matsuda House.

Yawning out of the room, Matsuda Jinpei was about to take a bottle of milk from the refrigerator. However, after looking at it for a long time, he only found that Tanihara Ai had been squatting in front of the calendar for a long time today.

It seemed like he had a grudge against something.

He moved closer and looked at the calendar in front of him, but there was nothing different.

"What are you looking at?"

Startled by the sound, Ai Tanihara almost started floating around in the living room.

In the end, her voice stopped in mid-air and she coughed twice.

"No, it's nothing."

"Really?" Matsuda Jinpei glanced at the date above. After looking at it for a long time, he realized that it was almost his birthday.

Thinking like this, he glanced in the direction of Tanihara Ai.

He picked up the bottle of milk in his hand and took two sips, causing a circle of stain around his mouth, which looked a little funny.

However, he didn't notice this at this time and just coughed twice.

"Well, Gu Yuan, I have something to do tomorrow, so don't follow me."

"Ah?" Tanihara Ai blinked, but still nodded, "Okay."

Just in time, she was going to find the prisoner who planted the bomb.

When the time comes, she will definitely let that guy experience what it means to have a cold head.

Successfully sent Ai Tanihara away from Matsuda Jinpei and pretended to go to work accidentally.

The next day, he came to a store and walked in.

There are many eye-catching things in the showcase in front of you.

Soon, his eyes locked on one place and he pointed his finger.

"Here, wrap it up."

Ai Tanihara, who drifted home early and searched for the whole day with no results, was so angry that she just wanted to bite her handkerchief.

The figure floated for a moment.

Ai Tanihara's whole body leaned against the bed that smelled of Matsuda Jinpei's breath.

I haven't returned to the person I protect for a long time. I don't know why, but I feel like my soul is being torn apart.

The landline phone in the living room rang at this moment.

Tanihara Ai took a few breaths and floated to the landline.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the number on it.

Soon, her hand reached through the phone and picked up an illusory receiver.

"Matsuda-kun, what's wrong?"

"Gu Yuan, I am now at the place you mentioned last time. Please come over."

"Okay, okay." Tanihara Ai nodded and agreed readily.

It drifted all the way to a place, but before it arrived, Tanihara Ai's soul was shaken.

The man under the cherry blossom tree is adjusting his clothes at the moment.

The expression is serious.

It's like...

It's like confessing.

As soon as this idea came to her mind, Tanihara Ai pursed her lips.

She stretched out her hands and lowered her head. Her hands were transparent and without warmth.

It seems to be able to isolate everything.

Ai Tanihara still fell over.

Matsuda Jinpei suppressed his emotions, but his hair, which was cut shorter yesterday, still exposed his somewhat red ears.

Putting his hand into his pocket, his hand fumbled for the box, and soon, he took it out.

"By the way, Gu Yuan."

He spoke.

However, Tanihara Ai's eyes darkened as she watched him grow up.

She knew this person very well.

So much so that he will know what he will say next second.

Because, from now on, the only thing she does in this life is to squat next to him and accompany him to grow up little by little.

"I want to tell you something."

Matsuda Jinping paused, then seemed to make up his mind and spoke.

"I……"

"Matsuda-kun."

Ai Tanihara interrupted Matsuda Jinpei's words. This was the first time and it would also be the last time.

Even though he knew what he was like now, it was only in this situation that he hadn't spoken out yet.

Only then would she have the courage to refuse.

"Don't say it."

I'm afraid I'll regret it.

"The person in your future is not me."

It won't be me either.

"This feeling is just an illusion," Tanihara Ai pointed at her face and smiled lightly.

"Growing up, my face often gave others the wrong impression."

give up on me.

"Maybe you haven't seen it clearly yet..."

The box in Matsuda Jinpei's hand fell to the ground, and Tanihara Ai didn't speak again.

She saw something inside.

The box bounced open from the fall, and a diamond ring inside stayed there quietly.

"Is this why you rejected me?"

Matsuda Jinpei's eyes were serious but filled with anger.

He may indeed have been attracted by Tanihara Ai's appearance at first sight, but what really attracted him were her eyes.

Her eyes were always so gentle and sincere when looking at him.

No matter when.

She always placed her trust in him.

He had a mysterious feeling.

No matter what, they will meet.

"It's obviously you who I like!"

"Don't try to escape. Don't use such lame excuses before you give me an answer. Next time, remember to look into my eyes."
