Untitled Conan II

A kind person, I have always had a good impression of her.After a brief salute and greeting, she chatted with me casually, and then mentioned that a few days ago, Prince Daniel (that is, Siri's father) asked her to take good care of me, so I stayed in the UK these days Living in the palace is convenient for "care".

Hearing this, I still smiled gracefully on my face, but I couldn't help twitching the corners of my mouth, it really is!

Living in Buckingham Palace, although the food and clothing are all at the royal level, and there are dedicated attendants, it can be regarded as a luxurious enjoyment, but at the same time, there are many restrictions, such as the behavior must be elegant and dignified, and the dress cannot Being too casual and having to pay attention to your own image all the time is really a very tiring thing.

Although my actions are not restricted by anyone, I also understand that I can’t go to some places at will, not to mention that it is the time when the Han Palace is open to the public every summer, such as the royal stables, art collection rooms, restaurants, and some places. Gardens, places that are open as scenic spots, attract a large number of tourists every day. If it is not necessary, I will not go to those places.

After a day's rest in the Han Palace, the second day after I arrived in London, it was the semi-finals of the Wimbledon women's singles, and the women's singles world No. The match between Sri Lanka and a Chinese player Wang Haili attracted the attention of all parties.

Early this morning, I received a call from Apollo urging me to go to the game, and he obediently hung up the phone after I kept talking and promised to be there on time in the afternoon.

Apollo Glass is the eight-year-old younger brother of Minerva Glass, who has won the Wimbledon women's singles champion for four consecutive years and is known as the Queen of the Grass.I know them because of Minerva's coach Ares Ashley.Ares used to be a promising tennis player, but eight years ago, Minerva's father, who was the coach of Ares at the time, had a car accident, and Ares retired to become Minerva's coach because of guilt. .

Before that, the relationship between Ares and Brother Yazhi had been good, so after that, even Minerva and Apollo were relatively familiar.

Eight years ago, Minerva's father and sister, who was 6 years younger than her, died in a car accident. Minerva has become the pillar of their family since then.

Her experience reminded me of my elder brother who was far away in Japan, my father and I left, and only he and the housekeeper were left in the Kuroba family. The 10-year-old boy had to take care of the house alone In the face of desertion and loneliness, as long as I think of these things, I feel so distressed that I want to fly back to Japan immediately to be with my brother.

After all, I didn't go back impulsively, but since then, I have subconsciously wanted to get close to Apollo and Minerva, which may be a kind of emotional transfer.Moreover, Apollo is also a very lovable boy.

After lunch with the Queen at Han Palace, I took a break in the garden before changing into civilian clothes and heading to the London police station.Although the incident that Xi Rui's father explained was probably just an excuse, it is still necessary to deal with it deliberately.

The police officer in charge of entertaining me was very conscientious and explained in detail. Although I didn't listen very carefully, I understood some things to some extent.It's just that I am a little puzzled. I don't know what happened that day. There are many children in the police station lobby, and the scene is a bit noisy.

Although I was a little curious about it, I just took it as an episode. Seeing that the time was almost up, I immediately took a taxi to the tennis center.

Speaking of which, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or something, but the names of the few people I heard these days are all related to Roman mythology—for example, Minerva (Athena in Greek mythology), Apollo is the sun god , Ares is the god of war, Apollo's mother Juno is the name of the queen of gods in Roman mythology, and the name of the suspect who was at large in the bombing of the hospital just now from the police officer, Hades , that is the name of Hades in Greek mythology.

------Dividing line-------

Minerva Glass's match was really exciting. Although the strength of the opponent should not be underestimated, the gap in strength was quite obvious from the very beginning.So not many were surprised that the young grass queen won.

I declined Ares's invitation to have dinner with them, and promised Apollo that I would not be absent in the finals, and then declined their kindness to send me back, so I had time to go back to Han Palace alone.

In the chat just now, Apollo mentioned that a mysterious person gave him a "Revelation" with incomprehensible verses, and said that someone would be killed in front of him soon.Especially afterwards, Apollo said that he met Holmes' disciples at Holmes' residence on Baker Street at noon.Subconsciously, Conan's face wearing a pair of big black-rimmed glasses flashed in my mind, and then I immediately rejected it.

It should be impossible, how could he appear in London for no reason?Besides, as Conan Edogawa, he couldn't go abroad without a passport.

... But, what kind of mood should I face him now?

...I have no idea at all - should I be happy, excited, delighted, or...

No matter how much I asked myself, I couldn't get an answer after all.So much so that when I walked across a street by chance and looked up and saw the black-haired girl with her back facing me outside the phone booth and the boy standing opposite her, I froze in place.

The next moment, when the boy's familiar blue eyes looked over in surprise, my first reaction was to turn around and run away.

hated by hobbies ([-])

The footsteps coming from behind and the man's shout were getting closer and closer. I ran forward in a panic, not even having the courage to look back.

...How did this happen, why, did he appear here? !

"Wait, girl, don't run!"

I closed my eyes hard, and the sound that was so close made me panic. I know that my physical condition is not as good as before, and it is completely expected that I will be caught up, but I have not, at all, not yet. Think about how to face him, how could he just appear in front of me so suddenly?

I staggered, and before I could stand still, a pair of arms wrapped around my body behind me.When my back leaned against that person's warm body, my body froze, and I didn't dare to move, I could only hang my head and stare blankly at the ground under my feet.

There was still the sound of that person's slightly rapid breathing, but the hands around my waist were tightened tightly, and I could clearly hear the violent heartbeat, but I couldn't distinguish the heartbeat. Is it his or mine.

"...Girl," his voice came low from my ear, accompanied by warm breath, the similar scene made me feel dazed for a while.

That was the first time when he recovered his body, and he was wrapping his back around me as he is now, the fiery breath from the high fever intertwined with the faint smell of grass on his body. At that time, he panted and said, "I'm sorry, but I seem to really like you."

……

Why, in just a few short months, there will be so many changes——

"...Why did you run away?" I could feel him resting his head lightly on my shoulder, his voice was very low and soft, and the originally clear voice now sounded a little more hoarse, and he tightened his grip. Wrapping my arms tightly, as if worried that I would suddenly disappear, "You really, really hate seeing me so much?"

"No..." Shaking my head hastily, I answered in such a panic, but I still didn't dare to turn my head or make other actions.

"Then," the hand that was originally on my waist pressed down on my shoulder, and then forced me to turn around, I raised my head helplessly, and met his serious eyes, "tell me, why did you Run when you see me?"

"...I" bit my lower lip, I lowered my eyes and didn't look at him, but my body stepped back unconsciously.

"Are you avoiding me?" He frowned and looked at me, and the strength in his hand increased a little.

"No, I..." I raised my hand to cover his hand holding my shoulder, I looked up at him earnestly, and forced a smile, "I... now live in someone else's house, it's not good if I go back too late. That...can you let go?"

He looked straight at me, with his brows furrowed, and after a long while, he turned his head away and let out a low sigh.

The original grip on the shoulder gradually weakened and then disappeared. While I was slightly relieved, I also felt a little empty for no reason.

Laughing at myself in the bottom of my heart, I took a few steps back in embarrassment and turned around to leave.

The wrist hanging by my side was grabbed by someone, and I was startled suddenly. Before I could react, my body turned backwards with that force, and then crashed into the arms of that person.

It hurts when my forehead hits the button of his shirt, and my breath is full of the smell of that man. I clearly feel that I am held in his arms by him, unable to move.

"... Shinichi?" I called out with my cheek pressed against his chest.

"Have you forgotten, what I once said..." His chin lightly rubbed against the top of my head, and there was no emotion in his erratic tone, "I said, no matter what, I will never let you go of."

My body froze suddenly, I opened my eyes in a daze, but I couldn't ignore
