[Conan Doujin] The Mystery of Theseus

Puzzle4 Edogawa Conan, is a □□□□□.

The world is messed up enough, messed up enough.

Half an hour later, maybe all the troublesome things have been dealt with, and the news came from Kudo again.

After receiving Kudo's text message "At the doctor's house, come quickly", Kuroba had no time to contact the detective's childhood sweetheart, so he took the tram and rushed over.Along the way, he was thinking about the voice that he just heard.

new role?False voice?Or did he accidentally inhale helium while messing around with the equipment at the doctor's place?

But it doesn't seem like that sound after inhaling helium...

After getting off the tram and switching to walking mode, Kuroba began to seriously think about what other transportation options could be faster.

If only I could have a pair of roller skates, or bring a hang glider...

The street lights on the street in the evening have been gradually turned on, watching his own shadow tilting backwards with the lights and then returning to the original position, Hei Yu secretly guessed what happened to make the case happen in front of his eyes and not face it. The high school detective who has changed his face shows such a restless side.

There will be a story where a detective appears...should it be a serious unit reasoning drama?But what happened to that voice just now?

With a glimmer of anticipation for the scene he will see at the doctor's house, Kuroba quickened his pace.

Although the famous detective does not belong to the traditional good guy Renjiro as the protagonist of traditional harem dramas, judging from his childhood sweetheart big sister role, it is hard to say whether there will be other female characters around him.A beautiful girl from another world who descended from heaven?Or a forgotten female friend from the future?A magician who asks for a contract to save (destroy) the world in the name of "solving puzzles" seems to be good...

Or, think a little more realistically... Inherited an irresistible family mission from his father?Or awaken some incredible superpower?

Hahaha how is it possible, just kidding.

With all kinds of knowledge of another dimension circulating in his mind, Kaito Kuroba was not mentally prepared for what he would accept next.

After seeing the red magic of Koizumi Hongko, a classmate who can almost reverse cause and effect, even though the seeds of science in his heart are still taking root, Kuroba already believes that magic still exists in this world.

His story has already begun.The identity that has to be carried, the opponents and enemies who appear inexplicably, and the companions who hide in the front and do not know whether they will appear or not.

This is his story, the setting of the world view and the placement of the characters are relatively sound, there is no need to add any new elements, and there is no need to involve more unrelated people, this is what Kaito Kuroba thought.

Because the world is messed up enough.

But there is not only one world before we realize it.And when the cognitive eyes are opened, the reality that can be witnessed is more diverse.

Looking at the seven-year-old boy who was standing by the bookcase of the doctor's house and flipping through hardcover detective novels that were too heavy for his body, and wearing an old school uniform that only elementary school students in the last century would wear, and listening to him on the phone just now After telling the ins and outs of the current situation with a voice that didn't fit his age, Kuroba didn't even know whether he should laugh or sympathize—even though both of these reactions seemed to the other party to be beaten.

He simply leaned forward without saying a word, and made a careful and impolite close-up observation of the strange boy wearing glasses.

Unsurprisingly, he accepted the blow to the head when the other party printed a hardcover illustrated novel with full coated paper in his hand. Kuroba, who crouched down holding his painful head, reluctantly accepted it. The boy in glasses with a sharpness beyond his age , the fact that it is indeed a limited and shrunk version of that detective.

"...Edogawa Conan?"

The moment the detective said the name himself, Kaito Kuroba suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"I can't help it," the boy, whose name and surname are all jokes, pushed the black glasses frame without lenses, "It seems that I have to live in this capacity for the time being."

"Hahahaha, it's thanks to you that you can come up with such a sour name—"

"...I'm in a hurry, and I don't want to."

"There are so many normal names, why did you choose a fan who seems to be forced to play tricks hahahaha——"

"To shut up!"

After laughing and laughing enough, the damage was over, and the two of them began to think about facing the reality when the doctor reminded them.

"So," in order to show enough seriousness, Kuroba chose to sit and discuss, "Are you planning to live as 'Edogawa Conan'?"

"As long as the relevant documents and materials are obtained, it is not difficult to create a non-existent identity out of thin air." Kudo, no, Edogawa's face showed a calmness that did not match his appearance and age.

"It's easy for you to say..." Hei Yu raised his forehead, "What about the school? How do you explain Kudo Shinichi's disappearance? How do you deal with Miss Lan?"

Edogawa's expression froze for a moment.He scowled, lacking the reflections that would obscure his eyes, as he wished.

"Lan she..." After hesitating for a moment, he still planned to state the facts, "She will pick me up in half an hour."

After chewing and comprehending the received information for a while, Hei Yu only felt that his brain was stuffed with too much information and was on the verge of crashing.

"Wait, wait, wait," he lowered his hands to signal the elementary student detective in front of him to slow down, "You mean, Miss Lan will come to 'pick' you up later?" He expressed his understanding, " In other words, you don't intend to live in your own home?"

"That's it," Edogawa nodded, "I told her that I need an hour to organize my things..."

"So you're going to live in that stupid detective's office," Kuroba still showed disbelief, "with the identity of 'Edogawa Conan'?"

He could understand, he shouldn't have asked that.

When an independent and somewhat arrogant soul is imprisoned in such a short body that cannot speak out from its own standpoint and cannot stand at the same height as others, it is difficult for anyone to accept it without hindrance.

It's just that there is no way.

Just have to move on.

When that haughty high school student detective said his name to others, he must have missed "Kudo Shinichi" instead of "Edogawa Conan".

The title of detective means nothing here.The important thing is that "he" is standing here at this moment.

But no one can see him.

When Kuroba left the doctor's house with secrets that he could never tell and questions that had not been answered, Edogawa jokingly said such a sentence.

"It's no big deal," he said. "When it's really hard to hide it, at least you can still rely on you."

What a lucky congenital condition to have friends who look similar to brothers.

At that time, Hei Yu wanted to refute, "Miss Lan already knows me", "She can't even see the difference", but he just smiled teasingly, and he was about to enter into the new identity with a new identity. Farewell to the schoolboy detective of the new plot.

Wow, really worthy of being the main character.This was Kuroba's exclamation at that moment.

He thought he had found a brother in need, and met a reliable companion who faced the same identity decision as himself.But the other party quickly accepted the new reality, and with great adaptability, "Edogawa Conan", a character that was obviously contradictory to the outside world, was integrated into all the details without exception.

She would still smile at him, and they would choose to accept him.

Maybe the world I live in and all the changes that happened around me are just a foreshadowing, an episode in the plot of the other party.And after I thought I was the protagonist, I had no part in it after going through the motions.

At least in my world, let me keep a secret that only belongs to me for now.

Unlike exchanging books and interesting things, after exchanging secrets, both parties need to bear much more burden.

On the way back, although he was only walking in the streets of the city, Kuroba felt that he could vaguely imagine the swift wind flowing through the sky.

The sound of the wind quickly filled his ears, making it difficult for him to hear anything else.
