Zongman: Nohara Shinnosuke is about to be chopped off

Xiao Kui looked at Xiao Xin who was drinking juice leisurely, one mouthful after another, and asked curiously, "Brother, aren't you leaving yet? It should be almost time, right?"

Shin-chan blinked in confusion, "Time? What time? Is it snack time?"

Xiao Kui looked at him speechlessly: "Have you forgotten that you are going to the beach with Sister Hui to watch the sunset and then watch the fireworks display in the evening?"

After being reminded by Xiaokui, Xiaoxin finally remembered what he had forgotten.

He quickly stood up and waved to the three people: "I really forgot about this matter! I'm leaving now, bye!"

"Really? Is it your date or mine? Do you need me to remind you?"

Looking at his brother who left in a hurry, Xiaokui shook his head helplessly.

"Humph, boys are always like this. They don't take something as important as a date seriously at all!"

Looking at Shin-chan's panicked back, Ran Mao Li couldn't help but condemn him.

She saw the shadow of a certain "narcissist" in Shin-chan.

Xiaokui looked at Mao Lilan with curiosity, obviously not understanding why her brother was so angry that he was late for the date.

But the next moment, Suzuki Sonoko whispered in her ear and answered Xiaokui's doubts.

"Ran has a childhood sweetheart named Kudo Shinichi, who is a mystery geek and thinks about solving cases all day long. He has never been on time for their dates, either because he forgets or because he is delayed by a case on the way."

Mao Lilan watched Suzuki Sonoko whispering in Xiao Kui's ear. Knowing her best friend's "nature", she

I guessed it instantly. She must have told him everything about herself and Shinichi.

"Yuanzi! Xiaokui is still so young, why are you telling her such things?"

Mao Lilan quickly covered Xiao Kui's ears and asked her to stay away from her "gossip-loving" friend.

Otherwise, Suzuki Sonoko might say something inappropriate for children.

Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but curl her lips and thought: I didn't say anything, and kids nowadays know a lot!

Xiao Kui was still thinking that the name "Kudo Shinichi" sounded so familiar.

Suddenly, she had an idea and said, "Isn't Kudo Shinichi the high school detective who is so cocky and likes to show off in the newspapers all day long?"

When Suzuki Sonoko heard what Xiaokui said, she suddenly became excited, as if she had found a soulmate: "Yes, it's him! You think so too, right?"

Fireworks display and lost center

The Lost Center sounds quite impressive, but it is actually just an open space specially designated by the organizers of the fireworks display, with a table, a few chairs, and a microphone connected to the surrounding speakers.

There was only one person, Junko Koshigaya, with shoulder-length orange hair, who was in charge of handling lost people.

She sat on a chair, watching the couples around her laughing and playing, and lamented: Why is my life so hard? Not having a boyfriend is fine, but on Christmas Day, she had to be fed dog food and pulled from the department store to work overtime.

"Hi!"

A greeting voice interrupted her silent complaints.

Seeing someone in need of help, the highly professional Junko Koshitani immediately composed herself and turned away with a smile.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you... Is it you?! Potato Boy!"

Junko Koshigaya looked at the young man in front of her with an incredulous look on her face, who was holding flowers and a gift box.

Looking at the shocked staff, Xiaoxin scratched his head in confusion.

"Do you know me? Are you my fan? Do you want an autograph? Sorry, I'm busy right now and need to look for my friends."

When Junko Koshigaya saw that Nohara Shinnosuke, who had been causing trouble for her since childhood and had been lost at least 100 times in the department store lost children center under her jurisdiction, had actually forgotten about her, she became so angry that her face turned red.

"You little brat! I'm the receptionist at the Lost Children's Center at the department store! Have you forgotten? Every time you come to the department store with your mother, you get lost and it's me who receives you! I also have to spend money to buy you all kinds of yokan, rice crackers, and 100% pure fruit juice to treat you, don't you remember?!"

"Oh, it's you, the waiter at the children's playground in the department store. You changed your clothes and I really couldn't recognize you."

Xiao Xin looked at her with sudden realization.

"It's not a children's playground, it's a center for lost children! I'm not a waiter either, I'm a receptionist! Forget it...it seems like they're all the same to you..."

Junko Koshigaya sighed and shook her head helplessly.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Potato Boy, what happened to you? Did you lose your mother again?"

As Junko Koshigaya spoke, she looked at the little potato who was five years old back then, and how he had grown into a handsome young man who was much taller than herself today. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

After all, to some extent, Shin-chan, who used to bother her all day long, could be considered her "half child".

"No! I lost my friend."

Xiaoxin put his hands on his hips and refuted her seriously.

"Aren't they all the same after all? Why are you so proud?"

Junko Koshigaya was amused by Shin-chan's self-righteous look and couldn't help but raise her hand and gently tap him on the head.

She couldn't help but shake her head in amusement, thinking to herself: It's been more than ten years, and this kid really hasn't changed at all.

"Okay, tell me your friend's information and you just sit here and wait for her."

Junko Koshigaya took out her notebook and prepared to record Shin-chan's information.

"Koshigaya, please give me some strong tea and yokan."

Shin-chan held up his face and looked at Junko Koshigaya eagerly.

"No."

"Then juice and potato chips will do."

"nor."

"How dare you open a 'children's playground' when you don't have anything?"

Xiaoxin curled his lips and said with some disgust.

"This is a bullshit 'children's playground'! This is the Lost People's Center! It's good to have water!"

Junko Koshigaya rolled her eyes and took out a bottle of mineral water from a box beside her and handed it to Shin-chan.

“Then why are there snacks and drinks in department stores?”

"How can it be the same? This is just a temporary lost center opened because of the fireworks display."

"No wonder this place is so simple." Xiaoxin nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, stop talking so much. What's your friend's name?"

"Kato Megumi."

"Oh?"

When I heard this obviously girl's name, Junko Koshigaya, I immediately became curious.

She asked him with interest: "Is she your girlfriend?"

"No, he's my good friend."

"Isn't that the same thing? In the end, 'female friends' will become girlfriends anyway."

Junko Koshigaya pushed up her nonexistent glasses and said in a mysterious tone,

It was as if she was not an "older leftover woman" at all, but an emotional master.
