48.

"Are you really okay?" Toyama Rin patted Kudo Shinichi on the shoulder and asked in a low voice.

"Ah! It's all right!" Kudo Shinichi smiled so much that his face could bloom, "Didn't the dark knight get injured and was captured by the killer, and finally the princess found two people to escape together? The performance was interrupted." This is the only way to let everyone into the play... Do I act like it?"

"……"Is it really?Then Hattori Heiji suddenly carried the man away in order to play the killer who captured the knight?

Thinking about it, I just heard Mao Lilan say that halfway through her search for someone, the real master suddenly appeared and took her to the stage to "confess" and kiss her...

So Kudo, you were improvising when you screamed so badly just now?

Toyama Rin looked at Kudo Shinichi who was talking to his classmates in front of him, and suddenly felt like laughing.

【Are you thinking I'm stupid?Do you really think anyone will believe your nonsense, Kudo? 】

As a result, when he turned his head, he saw that the onlookers were moved to tears by the last scene where the knight and the princess confessed and kissed.

Well, taking back what I just said, it seems that they all believed it.

Sure enough, the fan filter makes people lose their minds.

Rin Toyama glanced at Conan in the corner, with clear emotions in his eyes. ——When he bent down to talk to "Conan" just now, he immediately heard that there was something wrong with the other party's voice.Although the flaws were already very small, the voice processed by the electronic voice changer could fool others, but not him, who was so deaf.

This "Conan" is a girl, not the little fan boy he knew. ——However, Kudo Shinichi didn't have any special reaction after seeing "Conan", and the two even talked happily.

So this girl must be an "actor" recruited by Kudo Shinichi. ——This explains the problem very well, since there is nothing to hide, why let another person pretend to be Conan?

Toyama Rin's conjecture about Kudo Shinichi and Edogawa Conan was almost hammered, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't show anything, and kept silent about Mao Lilan.

Heiji must have known about this, that's why he reacted so quickly and hid Kudo Shinichi.But what is he hiding for?And how did Kudo, who was so painful that he couldn't move before, return to normal?And...how on earth did Kudo appear in front of others as Edogawa Conan?How does a high school student become a kid?

Rin Toyama fell asleep inexplicably when he found Heiji in the warehouse just now, so this probably became an unsolved mystery.

The boy couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Well, when I see Kudo Shinichi again in the future, I'm afraid to adjust my mentality. ——Thinking that the little fan who stared at the big eyes and called him "Brother Rin" in a childlike voice is actually a famous high school student detective, Rin Toyama trembled. ——He even picked up Conan and held him high! ! !Thinking about it now, I feel as if I took advantage of Kudo, and my whole person is not good.

Not long after, Hattori Heiji, who finally washed off all the liquid foundation on his body, sat next to Toyama Rin while wiping his face. The boy looked back at him, and then stared straight at the direction of the stage——

"Hey, Heiji."

"Ok?"

"It's very painful when you hide something from important people." He looked at Kudo and Xiaolan on the stage, as if muttering to himself, "I think Kudo...should want to say it very much. .”

There must be bitterness and helplessness behind the silence. ——As if he had been struggling when he was young, he felt the same way.

It's just that Mao Lilan is not as tough as Heiji.This girl is too gentle to make the kind of behavior that strips the other party's disguise. ——Besides, Kudo Shinichi is not him either.As shrewd as that great detective, there must be a way to reassure the other party, right?

After hearing what his friend said, Hattori Heiji was stunned. ——Didn't Kudo say he could handle it himself? !Why is it still useless after explaining it! ! !The horse fell so fast that it was impossible to catch it! ! !

"Hey, Rin! Forget about this!" Hattori Heiji reached out and grabbed the boy's shoulder with a serious expression: "I don't care how you guessed it, just forget about it right away! Don't tell anyone else either! "

really.Seeing Hattori Heiji's reaction, Toyama Rin became more determined that Kudo had difficulties, perhaps related to a certain case. ——Fortunately, he chose to believe that Heiji didn't call Xiaolan over, otherwise he might have really done something bad with good intentions.

"I won't mention it.—And you?"

"what?"

"Will you forget?"

"Tch, I'm different, I still have to help Kudo investigate the case."

"Won't that be dangerous?"

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"I'm worried about you, idiot." Toyama Rin raised his arm and hooked the big detective's shoulder, turned his head and rubbed Hattori Heiji's watery hair, "Who made my buddy a fool? ? You know that guy never thinks about himself. ——If I don’t look at him, what if he plays himself to death?”

As long as it is a friend identified by Hattori Heiji, he will treat it with all his heart.

It was also because of this that Toyama Rin was first attracted to Heiji.

"Forget it, you can go and save others with peace of mind! As for me, I'll just save you." The boy grinned and smiled beautifully.

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

Originally Rin Toyama planned to accept Kudo's invitation and stay in Tokyo for one night before returning to Osaka. However, after the school festival ended, that guy said he would pull him back——

"If I go back tomorrow, my mother will find out that I stole her cosmetics!"

"...So hurry up and buy a new one in the mall to take back."

"No, you come too."

"Why do you have to let me follow!"

"Anyway, you're here to help! Please!"

Hattori Heiji clasped his hands together and made a pleading gesture. He looked very much like Abu, the Akita dog raised by his grandfather's family to beg for food, plus those watery eyes... Sorry, Toyama Rin finally Fallen.

"Okay, I'll go back with you. -Sorry, Kudo, let's visit your house again next time, otherwise this guy may really be beaten to death by his mother next time -"

Plan pass!

So Hattori Heiji pulled his friend into the car, and finally sent a message to Kudo Shinichi with a smile: "I didn't expect that, I am more important than your invitation, are you angry?"

A big detective who came to see him off outside the car window looked at his mobile phone, and then the corner of his mouth twitched: "Are you a child?"

It is a child without error. ——And he was a brat who was about to be beaten up by his mother.

"What?! A bottle of limited edition costs 3000 yen?!" Hattori Heiji and his friends went to several shopping malls and were told that they were out of stock. It was dark and they finally found themselves in a large shopping mall near Kansai International Airport. He found one that was still in stock, but when he asked the price, his jaw dropped in fright, "What kind of cosmetic is this, it's so expensive?!"

"Is the little brother going to give it to his girlfriend? In this case, I recommend the cheap brand next to it. CPB is not suitable."

"No! I want to buy it for my mother—" In Heiji's wallet, there are only more than 2 banknotes and coins in total. It's not enough to buy one bottle, let alone two bottles. .So he could only look at Toyama Rin next to him.

At this time, the boy was leaning against the counter and playing with his mobile phone as if he had nothing to do with him. He only replied a few words when Hattori Heiji called him without even looking up.

"I still have about 6000 cash on hand."

……

……

……

Not enough at all!And now that the business hours are coming, it is definitely too late to go home to get it, and it is very likely that you will not be able to borrow money now. After all, 5 yuan is not a small sum for ordinary high school students, and he I don't know any other friends who live near here...

Hattori Heiji scratched his hair irritably, and then smiled at the salesperson: "Hey, big sister, can you give me a discount? Or I can pay in installments! Please, I will Gotta take at least one bottle home—"

The big sister of the salesperson smiled: "I'm sorry, little brother, the limited-edition products don't participate in shopping mall activities and don't accept payment for foundation. My sister can't help you."

Hattori Heiji realized that he seemed to be unable to escape his mother's sanctions. ——He is taller than Jinghua now, so the other party should not always pull his ears, then...he thought about the diaper in his father's study, and shivered knowingly .

A mother who can fight is terrible! ! !

A certain detective was extremely irritable, and after struggling for a while, he could only turn to his friend——

"Rin—stop playing with your phone—"

No matter how this voice sounds, it feels wronged.

Toyama Rin was amused by him.

The young man finally raised his head and took a look at him, then patted the other person on the shoulder and said earnestly: "If I had known this, why bother, Heiji. Why didn't you just go to the drug store and buy a few cheap bottles?"

"...You think I haven't tried it. It's because the ones I bought didn't work so I tried my mother's. I thought it was good so I took it with me. I just didn't expect it to be so expensive."

Nonsense, if the 3 yen foundation is not easy to use, can it be so expensive? ! —— Rin Toyama rolled his eyes, and continued to persuade Heiji to accept the reality earnestly.

"Actually, I don't think your aunt will beat you up badly. Why don't you go back and apologize? Of course the son is more important than cosmetics!"

"No! You also heard how expensive that foundation is! Mom will beat me to death!"

"...Then will you dare next time?"

"Hmph, there's no next time! The spicy chicken Kudo had planned it all by himself and didn't tell me! It made my trip useless!"

Hey, hey, the point is not this!The point is you stole your mother's foundation, right?

"Ahhh, Rin... accompany me home later—or I'm going to die—you must stand in front of my mother when she kills me with a knife, she will never do anything to you ——" Hattori Heiji continued to pluck his hair, and thanks to his good genes, his hair volume is amazing, otherwise that beautiful short hair would sooner or later be plucked into the Mediterranean Sea by him.

Rin Toyama laughed until his stomach ached, patted Heiji on the shoulder and drove people to the toilet, euphemistically saying, "If you solve your physical problems in advance, you won't be afraid of being scared to pee your pants", while you stood up and walked to the CPB counter. A bank card was shown on the glass cabinet, and at the same time, he pointed to the cosmetics below: "I want two bottles, swipe the card, no need to pack it."

The young lady of the salesperson looked at him differently, and the label on Rin Toyama's head changed from "high school puppy" to "gold master dad" in an instant.

A high school student actually has so much money! ! !Little brother, did you sleep in the mine? !

So when Hattori Heiji came out of the toilet, Toyama Rin stuffed a paper bag, looked down, and there were two bottles of expensive and scary foundation inside.

"You don't have a job, how did you make so much money all of a sudden!"

"I borrowed it."

"Huh?! Are you looking for uncle?"

"How can I borrow this kind of thing from my dad!!! And even if I ask him, he won't agree to it, okay?!——I borrowed it from Mr. Amuro." Toyama Rin put away his bank card and walked His footsteps were always windy, "Mr. Anshi is such a kind (you) person (qian). As soon as I asked for a loan, he immediately took the time to transfer it to me."

"Huh?!" Hattori, knowing that he had spent Toru Amuro's money just now, Heiji quit immediately, turned his head and wanted to go in and return the things, but Rin Toyama grabbed his collar and could only stand still.

"Do you want to be beaten by your aunt?"

"I don't care, I don't want his money anyway—"

"Are you an idiot?! I told you I borrowed it! It's not you who paid back the money in the end!" Rin Toyama knocked on Hattori Heiji's head, "What's wrong with you guy today, is it the foundation? Too much seeped into the head?!"

"I don't care! I just don't want--" Hattori Heiji struggled, and was dragged all the way to the station by the boy, still emphasizing that he didn't want it, he didn't care, he wanted to return it.

"Then what if I say I borrowed it from Kudo?"

"can."

"Then why can't Mr. Amuro!!!"

"It doesn't matter, he just can't do it!!!"

"..."

Anyway, no matter how you ask, it is "I don't care". Hearing Toyama Rin's temples throbbing, he could only grab Hattori Heiji's collar and tell him: "If you want to return it, you can return it. Since the money is useless, I will return it as soon as you return it." Just go to transfer money to Mr. Amuro, he must be curious why I have to go so fast, and then he will call me and ask me."

"I'm not going back!!!"

As long as he thinks of Rin Toyama and Toru Amuro calling on the phone, he is not happy.

Hattori・When encountering this kind of thing, the two business partners will be disconnected and their own EQ is not high. In the end, Heiji tiptoedly put an opened bottle of foundation on the dressing table, and put the other bottle in the cabinet to make sure that Hattori Shizuka is not When he realized that something was wrong, he went downstairs to find the friend who helped him watch the wind.

So this night was passed by like this, but it never occurred to me that Hattori Heiji forgot to throw away the empty bottle when he was used up, so Jinghua, who planned to help his son wash his backpack on a whim the next morning, was flipping through After two empty bottles came out, I still knew about it.

When Rin Toyama went to the Hattori house, Mrs. Hattori, who has always been calm and dignified like Yamato Nadeko, grabbed Hattori Heiji's ear and seemed to be planning to take care of her family. He was so scared that he immediately ran to divert his attention——

When Hattori Shizuka saw Rin Toyama coming, his expression finally softened a lot, and the young man persuaded him to enter the kitchen with all his words. ——For making Shizuka happy, the boy is far more skilled than Hattori Heiji.For example, he knew that his aunt was in a fit of anger at this time, and if he directly pleaded for mercy, he might make the other party resist, so he kept silent about the matter of stealing cosmetics in Heiji, and first talked about what happened near the residential area recently, seeing that the other party was finally willing to listen to his gossip Afterwards, tell jokes to the other party, so that Jinghua was unknowingly distracted, and then suddenly said the important point——

"Well, Auntie, please forgive Heiji..."

"Hmph, that brat—" Hattori Shizuka muttered, but he was not as angry as before.

Although the income of the Hattori family is considerable, as the finance minister of the family, Jinghua has been carefully saving money for the family, and has never considered using such expensive cosmetics.A few days ago, when she went to the mall to buy a new rice cooker, it happened to be an event, so she won the first prize and brought back two bottles of foundation, which ended up being gone after not much use.You talk about this brat, since it's for investigating the case, use it up, tell her when you come back, she will reprimand him at most and punish him to kneel in the study, and then go there.This guy actually spent so much money to buy it again! ! !

Rin Toyama scratched the tip of his nose in embarrassment. ——He realized that he was a bad friend. Yesterday he should have been firmer and refused to borrow money from Toru Amuro, but when he saw that Hattori Heiji was afraid of being like that, he softened his heart. In the end, "helping the tyrant" became an accomplice...

"That, that... aunt." The young man moved uncomfortably, "Actually...I went to the mall with him yesterday...but I..." He didn't stop him and even helped to borrow money.

Hattori Shizuka looked at Rin Toyama, who carefully admitted his mistake, put the things on the chopping board, wiped his hands and took a step forward.

The boy closed his eyes, but in the end he didn't hear the other party's reproach.

"Well, I know. Heiji will definitely pull you in." Jinghua touched Toyama Rin's head with a gentle expression, "Children of your age have strong self and domain awareness, so I don't want to You tell us everything.—But remember, no matter what it is, your parents will forgive you in the end. You don’t have to take some detours.”

Hearing this, the boy's head dropped.

"Actually, I also understand that sometimes I'm a bit strict with Heiji." Jinghua changed the subject, and began to reflect on whether she had beaten Heiji's bear so hard before that her son would be scared to steal a cosmetic now into that.

"...There is another reason. —— Well, it may be the biggest reason." Toyama Rin swallowed, "He thinks that if you find out about this, you will mistakenly think that he has any special hobbies."

"A special hobby?"

"For example...boys wear makeup and dresses."

"Ah, why do I think that? Didn't he use foundation to help solve the case?" Hattori Shizuka asked in surprise.

"..." It seems that Heiji thought too much. ——My aunt would never mistake her son for being weird! ! !So why does Heiji have to buy two bottles of foundation to get away with it! ! !Wouldn't it be nice to admit your mistakes earlier? !

After listening to Toyama Rin's explanation, Hattori Shizuka's eyes widened: "So Heiji thought so? No wonder he refused to tell me no matter how I asked... By the way, your father was also dressed as a girl when he was a child—" —”

"Huh?!" Toyama Ginshiro?Women's clothing boss?Why never heard of it?

"Well, the red lips and white teeth at that time really looked like that."

The boy thought about that scene for a while, and then goose bumps popped up all over his body. ——No wonder my cousin said, "A boy's life is incomplete without wearing a skirt." Did the stalk come from Dad? !Fuck, I seem to know something terrible, is it too late to forget it now? !

"Also, your dad stole other people's watermelons when he was a child, and was beaten by your grandpa..."

So Hattori Heiji, who was sent by the boy to buy things to avoid the limelight, saw his mother chatting with the boy while chopping vegetables as soon as he came home. The atmosphere of you talking and laughing was quite harmonious.At the end, he said something that sounded like marrying a daughter to him——

"Hey, Rin. That Heiji guy will be counting on you from now on."

"Don't worry! I'll take good care of him for you, auntie." Rin Toyama, who was serving the soup, didn't realize that there was something in Hattori Shizuka's words.

In fact, Hattori Heiji's previous complaints were correct. The most terrifying thing is probably not the head of the Osaka Police Station, but the woman who took the head under his command. ——She found out that her son fell in love with Toyama Rin when other parents were unaware of it.

Unlike ordinary parents, Hattori Shizuka only cares about whether Heiji is having a good time.Just as she doesn't stop Hattori Heiji from investigating the case, she won't interfere with Heiji's feelings either.As for the various pressures her son will have to bear in the future, she thought, if Hattori Heiji didn't even have the courage and strength to face these, then he would be a member of the Hattori family in vain.So even if she likes the same sex, it is not difficult for this mother to accept.

As for Rin Toyama, this is the child she watched growing up, and the child she will always love dearly. ——This guy who was willing to protect Heiji with his life since he was a child must be more trustworthy than anyone else.
