22.

Toyama Rin originally thought that Hattori Heiji was joking with him when he said that he was going to duel with Kudo Shinichi.However, on the first Saturday after the end of the midterm exam, Hattori Heizo had a public holiday, and planned to go back to his hometown in the countryside with Jinghua. Heiji refused to go and wanted to stay at home alone.As soon as his parents left, the high school detective took the opportunity to run away without a trace.Why did you go?I went to find Kudo.

Rin Toyama slept until noon, and only when he saw the email on his mobile phone did he realize that Heiji, who was addicted to Battle back then, started to show his anger and sense of existence again.

[I'm going to Tokyo, I must turn that guy named Jiudu into my defeated opponent! ! ! 】

……

……

……

If Hattori Heiji suddenly appeared like this and said "Kudou, I want to battle with you" mysteriously but indignantly, normal people would think he is crazy, right?But the point is...

[Why don't you take me with you to Tokyo! 】

【what?Then you didn't say it earlier.Jiudu seems to have dropped out of school, and the neighbors don't know where he is. I heard that a girl named Suzuki Sonoko in their school said that he was hiding in his girlfriend's house, so I went to that woman, and it was almost Mihua.Do you want to come now?I booked a B&B near Mihua, so we shouldn't have any problem squeezing together for one night. 】

Rin Toyama sat on the bed and thought for a long time, swinging between "go" and "not go" for a long time, until his mother called from overseas to tell him that the dress was ready, so that he could go to Tokyo to pick it up when he had time , Rin finally made up his mind to go to Tokyo.

He is going to Chiba County to attend an annual meeting at Christmas, and that dress was specially prepared for that time. Although it is also possible to have a tailor mail it over directly, it has to be sent back in order to avoid minor problems after trying it on. For the problem of change, it is better to let him go there himself.

So Rin Toyama took the Shinkansen to Tokyo with peace of mind after calling his father, and then lost his way gloriously.

Why Tokyo Station is built like a maze! ! !Where is the exit! ! !

God knows how many questions he had to find the tailor shop. After getting the clothes and trying them on, he called Hattori Heiji. The other party seemed to be busy. There were several men's voices on the other end of the phone, and the keywords included "dead" The "scene" and the like seemed to be another murder case.

"So have you met Kudo?"

"No. The identity of the deceased is a bit special. You'd better not come here. I'll send you the address of the room, and you go there first. ——If you get lost, ask the passers-by."

"……it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Toyama Rin sighed.

He knew very well that Hattori Heiji didn't like being disturbed when he was investigating the case, so...

It's really troublesome to ask people around you for directions.

When the boy left the tailor shop, the sky was much darker, and a thick layer of dark clouds gathered above his head, and the feeling of being close could be overwhelmed at any time.

Well, he didn't bring an umbrella.

After thinking that he might need another umbrella at home, Rin Toyama began to think about buying a raincoat.However, when he entered the convenience store, he found that the raincoats here were as light and thin as plastic bags. After weighing the pros and cons, he still took out a curved handle umbrella and took it to check out.

The land in Tokyo is expensive, and the houses are built more densely than in Osaka, and there are countless alleys.Therefore, the homestay is sometimes difficult to find, as if it is hidden in a corner of a spider's thread, and sometimes people living around do not know which one it is.

So Rin Toyama lost his way again gloriously, and it was still the kind that hardly encountered passers-by.

When he finally found the B&B, it was already dark, and the heavy rain started to fall, and the dust stirred up on the ground soon formed several palm-sized puddles on the side of the road.

Holding an umbrella, he walked for a long time according to the route drawn by the old man just now, and then vaguely saw a shadow running into the alley. It seemed to be a boy without an umbrella.

Hey, hey, right?Don't you take an umbrella in such heavy rain?

When he was thinking about which hot-blooded boy this was running in the Japanese drama, he stopped suddenly and recognized the person in front of him.

"Ping... Pingji?"

Hattori Heiji supported his knees to take a few breaths, and when he raised his head, he grabbed Rin's collar and yelled, "Don't you know how to answer the phone?!"

Rin Toyama took out his mobile phone and took a look, all the calls from Pingji were missed, and then the whole person froze.

"I turned on the silent mode when I took the Shinkansen, but forgot to turn it off. ——Don't be angry, I'm not lost. By the way, what's the smell on you? Have you been drinking?"

"You didn't get lost, I wouldn't believe it if you were killed!!! You are a modern person anyway, can you rely on technology more!!!"

"Hey, it's not lost if you find it in the end. By the way, what kind of wine do you, a 17-year-old high school student—"

It was rare for Hattori Heiji not to refute him, he dropped the collar in his hand and turned around to leave.Rin Toyama was stunned for a moment, realizing that his friend was really angry, and immediately followed, and stretched out his right hand holding the umbrella handle to cover the angry detective.

Heiji was very wet, and he didn't know how long he had been down to look for it.

"Go slowly, don't get drenched again, and be careful of catching a cold!" Toyama Rin chased after him in three steps at a time, reached out and pressed the other's shoulder, his fingers tightened slightly.He could feel Hattori Heiji hesitate, then stop.The brim of the hat was pulled down so low that Rin couldn't see Heiji's eyes, and could only catch a few drops of rain sliding down his cheeks and then dripping down the other's chin.

For a while, only the sound of heavy rain around could be heard.A car passed by the end of the small road, the sound of the engine moved from near to far, and then gradually replaced by the sound of rain.

"...I'm already disappointed enough today, don't make trouble for me at this time." Hattori Heiji's voice was very small, but Toyama Rin still heard it.

He froze for a moment, then realized that Heiji might have lost the duel with Kudo Shinichi. ——This guy who has never lost to others in reasoning since he was a child, actually lost.

"Heiji-"

"Ah, I know. There is no reason for people not to lose. There are still many powerful people in this world... Don't comfort me, I will be fine in a while." Hattori Heiji reached out and took off the hat on his head, He took half a step forward to narrow the distance between the two people to the point where they were almost touching each other, then lowered his head and rested his forehead on Toyama Rin's shoulder.

The umbrella in his hand almost fell to the ground.

It took Rin Toyama a long time to realize what Hattori Heiji did.

Before he went to middle school, he often couldn't bear the pressure due to sequelae and hid in a corner alone crying.Hattori Heiji happened to come across him once through the window. The other party seemed to be taken aback. Sitting in front of him scratching his head and scratching his head, he didn't know how to comfort him. In the end, he simply reached out and pressed Rin's head on his shoulder superior.

"That's how it's done in TV dramas. As long as you have a shoulder to lean on, you won't cry." — After watching so many TV shows, he only learned this way of comforting.

It seems that from that time on, Hattori Heiji has never been able to change the problem of turning the window.The euphemistic name is "check if you are crying again", and then get the contempt of Toyama Rin.

He hasn't cried for a long time, so the scene of them staying together in this way has been blurred in his memory, but now the identities of the two people are suddenly reversed. After Hattori Heiji approached and the memory box was opened, he suddenly felt a little at a loss.

Maybe in the past, such a posture would only make him feel very warm, but now there is indeed an inexplicable feeling besides warmth. ——Even the usually nervous, upright student Yuanshan realized that this pose was very ambiguous, very ambiguous.

Rin panicked, and reflexively wanted to back away.But Hattori Heiji reached out and grabbed his wrist after realizing that he had this tendency.

He held it tightly, as if afraid that he would run away.

……

……

……

Could this guy be drunk?Rin Toyama carefully sniffed the smell of alcohol on his friend. ——He not only has good ears and a very sensitive nose, but Heiji smells something he has never smelled before. In short, Japanese sake does not have this kind of smell.Thinking of the white gan that Hattori Heizo sent to Yuanshan's house a few days ago, he understood.

"How much did you drink?"

"A cup." Hattori Heiji raised his hand and gestured for height.It's not a wine glass, it's a normal glass.

"...Are you crazy?" Baigan is said to have a high prescription, how could this guy dare to drink a whole cup?Aren't you afraid to drink unconscious?

"It's long-winded. I was caught in the rain when I came back. I heard that Baigan is very good for colds, so I drank some. It's nothing... just drinking to relieve my worries."

……

……

……

"So do you find it useful after drinking it?" Preventing colds and the like.

"No." Drinking alcohol can't reduce the sense of loss in his heart at all, but leaning on Toyama Rin like this will make him feel much more comfortable.

"Then don't drink it next time."

"Ah."

Two people who were not on the same channel unexpectedly had a successful conversation.Now the ambiguity that had just emerged in the boy's heart disappeared.

Well, this guy is drunk.I guess I didn't realize what I did.Let's keep the status quo...if it makes this little guy feel better.

Besides, Hattori Heiji never seemed to rely on him like this, and today was the first time.Saying that you have no sense of accomplishment is a lie.

Rin Toyama stood upright with an umbrella in his hand, and never backed away.

He couldn't help raising his left hand to touch Hattori Heiji's wet hair, and when he heard the sound of the other party's breathing almost right next to his ear, he suddenly lost his mind.

His heart was beating fast, but he didn't hate the feeling.

If the opponent is Heiji, it seems that he can accept it even if he bends? —— Rin Toyama thought so, and was amused by the thoughts in his heart.

————————————————————————————————————————

Hattori Heiji was already asleep on the bed when Rin Toyama dried his hair and came out of the bathroom.

This guy's sleeping posture is really... not flattering.

His head was resting on the pillow obediently, but the quilt was crumpled into a ball by him like dried prunes and held in his arms.One leg was bent to press the quilt, and the other leg was stretched straight.The famous detective in Kansai curled up and lay on his side on the outside of the bed, feeling like he could fall if he turned around a little further.I don't know why this guy breathes with his mouth open when he sleeps, he's almost drooling, okay?

Rin Toyama put the towel in his hand on the back of the chair, took out his mobile phone to check the time, and then planned to go to bed by himself.But the only thing that can be covered is held by Hattori Heiji in his arms, like a bear sleeping with a honey jar.

So the boy could only grab the quilt with his hands, and woke up Heiji during the process.

The guy whose sleep was disturbed snorted dissatisfiedly, opened one eye and looked at his friend who grabbed the quilt and planned to stretch it, turned around and fell asleep again within a few seconds.

It wasn't the first time Rin Toyama squeezed into a bed with Heji, so he didn't feel anything awkward. He lay down quietly when the light was turned off, and he himself fell asleep after a while.

In the dream he was floating in the middle of the sea in a small boat.In front of him is Cthulhu who just came out of the water.The huge octopus head twisted its powerful wrist to hold him tightly, clenched it tightly, and then——

Rin Toyama woke up, sweating all over his body.And almost in the next second, he realized why he had such a dream.

Hattori Heiji's limbs held him tightly like octopus wrists, but the culprit was completely unaware and was still sleeping.

Don't think about why the other party treats him as a pillow. ——The temperature in the bed was abnormally high.Rin Toyama pulled out a hand to lift the corner of the quilt on his side to breathe, and then reached out to touch Heiji's head.

have a fever.

Unexpected and reasonable. ——Drenched in the rain for so long may be unavoidable to catch a cold, but I didn't expect Hattori Heiji to catch up with a fever without any transition.

Toyama Rin pulled his friend's hands and feet away from his body, sat up and shook the guy next to him.

"Wake up and let's go to the hospital."

"To what hospital... I won't go..." Hattori Heiji muttered, turned his back to his friend, and refused to open his eyes no matter what he said.

"Hey, Heiji!"

"No...you're going to go alone...I'm going to sleep—"

It's not me who is sick, what hospital should I go to? !

Rin Toyama twitched the corners of his mouth, pulled the quilt off Heiji's body, and then went to find clothes and threw them to this person.

The dark-skinned boy protested, threw his clothes on the TV opposite the bed, turned over and did not move again.

……

……

……

So Toyama Rin gave up. ——Looking at it like this, it's impossible to get up. Although this guy is a few centimeters shorter than him, he is not light. A dead pig can drag Heiji out of bed at most, so it's impossible to just drag him to the hospital, right?

The boy sighed, turned the sleeping guy over and covered him with a quilt, and then got out of bed to get dressed.After turning on the kettle, I put the keys and cash in my pocket, went out with my phone in my hand, and planned to go to a nearby convenience store to buy cold medicine.

It was already two o'clock in the morning, and there was no one on the road at all.

When Rin Toyama walked into Lawson, the working boy who was waiting at the cashier trembled, then immediately stood up and put on a smile: "Welcome."

He nodded, then went straight to the shelf where the medicines were placed, took a box of cold medicine, and went to the front to check out.

"Is your girlfriend sick?" The little brother asked curiously, it seemed that the reason why the store manager was not here at this time was a little indulgent, and he actually chatted with the customer.

"No. Bought it for a friend of mine."

"Ah? Then your friend is so lucky. ——If I'm sick, those guys won't come out to buy me medicine in the middle of the night."

Rin Toyama smiled, picked up the cold medicine and returned to the hotel.

When he came back, Hattori Heiji was still sleeping, and the temperature seemed to be a little higher. This guy frowned when he slept uncomfortably, his lips were a little dry and faintly whitish.

After preparing the medicine, Toyama Rin remembered that Heiji drank alcohol today, and when taking most cold medicines, he should not drink alcohol for six hours before and after, because certain ingredients in it will react with alcohol, and lightly faint Drowsiness, heavy then inhibit breathing.

It’s really time to drink this wine——

So why did I run out just now...

The boy shook his head, threw the pills aside and got up to find a towel and washbasin, then prepared some warm water, and brought them over to help Hattori Heiji wipe his body to cool down physically.

Since his father was hospitalized, this skill value has almost been fully upgraded.

The first step is to lift the quilt.

The second step is to take off the pants.

The third step is to wipe the front.

The fourth step, wipe the back.

It's simple, but tiring.

After wiping it once, Rin Toyama's arm was so sore that he couldn't lift it up.But because warm water is not alcohol, the heat absorption effect is not very obvious.So he took the basin back to the bathroom to collect water, planning to come back and repeat the work just now.

Hattori Heiji fell into a drowsy sleep.He seemed to wake up and didn't seem to wake up.There seemed to be something on his head that made his thoughts stagnate in a certain deep pool. He just wanted to relax and sink down like this, not caring about anything.

Occasionally for a few seconds, he could vaguely see Toyama Rin frowning, the warm towel in his hand brushed his cheek, and then moved to his neck.Stayed there for a few seconds and then moved away.

"...Leave me alone, you go to sleep. Go, I'll be fine tomorrow morning." Hattori Heiji frowned.There were traces between his brows, but it was more obvious now.He knew that his discomfort was due to fever, but he didn't expect Toyama Rin to take care of him like this. ——It seems that my mother has never done this before.

He felt a little embarrassed and a little uneasy at the same time.He reached out to grab the quilt and wrapped himself up to resist the other's touch.

Rin Toyama seemed to say something, Heiji didn't hear clearly.He soon fell asleep again and fell into the dark green pool.Surrounded by silver bubbles, the sound was indistinct.

This was repeated two or three times until dawn.

The crisp bird chirping seemed to be right next to his ears, as if reminding him that it was time to get up.After Hattori Heiji realized this, he opened his eyes and sat up "swipe", the wet towel on his forehead fell onto the quilt with a slight sound.

He looked down at the boy lying beside his bed, and realized that Rin Toyama didn't let him lie down to sleep as he said, and suddenly felt that his chest was blocked by a big balloon full of hydrogen, making his whole body People just want to float.

"...Are you a fool?" It's just a cold.

Hattori Heiji bowed his head slightly, stretched his fingertips forward hesitantly, and touched the corner of his friend's eyes not long after.The wound here has not fully healed, and a dark scab has formed, which is rough to the touch.

That familiar feeling came again.This time it was not a stone swallowed in the stomach.The heat flow turned into a roiling heat wave in the desert sun.One strand after another wrapped him tightly, making his whole body extremely hot.

This is probably... like it.

……

……

……

hateful! ! !Shouldn't I like girls? !

Although he has never dated anyone, Hattori Heiji still subconsciously thinks he is a straight man.The vibrating kind. ——How do you say it bends? !

And it happened to be Rin Toyama. —the person he would never dare to say "please associate with me".He likes Rin, but the other party probably only regards him as a friend in his heart.

If he opened his mouth, it would be like erecting an unbreakable barrier between the two of them.The former friends will gradually become estranged as time goes by, and then one day, he can no longer find each other.

So Hattori Heiji could only carefully hide this thought and put it in Pandora's magic box, just like the crystal bead representing first love, so that no one could see it.

【I... seem to like you very much...so, can you fall in love with me? 】He only dared to read these words silently in his heart while looking at Rin Toyama who was sleeping soundly.

The famous Kansai detective Hattori Heiji, who is seen as carefree and courageous by others, is so timid in such matters.
