[Conan Doujin] The Mystery of Theseus

Puzzle51+1=□

"...The Detective Boys?"

When he received a routine report call from a high school student who had already adapted to elementary school life, saying that "a boy detective team was established", Kuroba felt helpless and wanted to sigh. "You're really getting used to life there, what, is your next plan to dominate the whole school?"

Relying on the wisdom of high school students to gain a certain status and prestige among classmates and even teachers, it is naive to think about it.

"I'm too lazy to do that kind of trick, and I can't help it." Edogawa on the other end of the phone also had a headache, "You don't know, after seeing the eyes of those children, I feel..."

"It's hard to refuse?" Hei Yu understood quite a bit, "That's right, destroying a child's dream or something, that crime is a first-class crime."

No matter how popular science and reality are in modern education, there are still a few children who believe that "Santa Claus exists".Even as they grow older, they gradually understand that the moon is just a planet that cannot shine by itself, and the starlight that people make wishes on may just be an afterimage that has long been extinguished. The moment when "Santa Claus" is in fact one's own father or mother is inevitable.

Maybe in the future, he will still carry out some unrealistic visions with a childlike innocence, but the stage of life where he believed in the existence of Santa Claus, forest fairies, etc., etc., can no longer go back.

Destroy the dreams of the children, and tell them condescendingly with the rebellious and disdainful eyes of high school students, "Your way of understanding the world is too naive". For the two teenagers who have not yet become "adults", it is still impossible .

There was a moment of silence on both ends of the call.

"By the way," Edogawa fiddled with the skateboard specially developed by the doctor with one foot, and suddenly thought of a good suggestion, "Dr. Zhou wants to assemble the badges for those children, do you want to help?"

"Badge? The one pinned on the sleeve?" Kuroba, who has long passed the age of collecting hero badges that come with snacks, is naturally not very interested in this kind of holiday play-like activity, "Isn't it? Put a pin, I don't really want to..."

"Just install pins? The badge 'invented' by the doctor will only need you to install pins?" Edogawa felt a little funny, "The assembly of some precision parts requires your eyes that are not myopic at all, the doctor will need you very much of help."

Such a remark was very useful to Hei Yu, before he had time to think about it, he admitted this weekend plan that required him to unilaterally output his abilities.

Ever since he was caught off guard and thrown into a body whose appearance was only seven years old, for Kudo Shinichi, everything happened suddenly.Before that, he never imagined what it would be like to sit in an elementary school classroom as an active high school student.

When he put on his old school uniform and walked into the school gate among a group of lively and brightly dressed children, Edogawa was already ready for the "disaster".He thought he would be so bored that he would yawn, and he would hold his chin to deal with the teacher's unconsciously cute voice when facing children, while complaining about the current education system "neither practical knowledge nor emotional education is practical at all." , but this is not the case.

freshness.

Sitting in the primary school classroom, he felt such an incomparable freshness that he wanted to share it with others immediately.

The knowledge that is already common sense to him needs to be imparted to these little brains who don't know if they have a correct understanding in such a variety of ways.Even if the group of wide-eyed children nodded thoughtfully in class, God knows if they really understood what the teacher was saying.

Children perceive the world from such different perspectives that teachers who teach mathematics need to spend most of their class explaining the concept of the word "known", but most of them gradually grow up to be reliable and boring adults. Forget how colorful the world in your eyes used to be.

Pretentiously writing down notes in a notebook, Edogawa extended his gaze to the entire classroom.He slandered, whether at the same moment, the minds of these elementary school students who don't understand anything will be thinking about the same content under the guidance of the teacher?

It is absolutely impossible.

He looked at the blackboard writing on the blackboard with some amusement.

Many people have long forgotten that 1+1=2 needs to be learned to understand.Those attempts and knowledge that we always think are inherent in ourselves, but the process of obtaining them is always ignored.

This is... I got a rare chance to observe the world from a different perspective...

Kudo Shinichi/Edogawa Conan didn't know whether he should feel emotion or sorrow.

The weekend is coming soon.It wasn't until he passed the closed gate of Kudo's house and stood at the door of the doctor's house that Kuroba began to have a little doubt about his previous decision.

Why am I here to help?Those brats have nothing to do with me...

"Hey, it's quite early." Edogawa was already waiting at the entrance, "Are you good at welding? First, let's practice."

"Whoa whoa!"

Putting on goggles to protect his eyes, Kuroba stared at the sparks and began to lose his mind.

"...Is there no problem with Miss Lan?"

"I asked her for leave, and I can move freely on weekends."

"So," Hei Yu, who was originally looking for something to say, paused. "I said," he tilted his head to inspect the corners of the parts, "why did you tell me?"

"What?" Standing on a low stool to increase the altitude, Edogawa was busy polishing the edge of the badge.

"Why did you tell me about 'The Boys Detective Team was formed'?" Kuroba stopped his hands, "I mean, you are no longer 'Kudo Shinichi' but 'Edogawa Conan' , what did you do as 'Edogawa Conan'," he raised his eyebrows, "has nothing to do with me?"

Kuroba, who was originally Kudo Shinichi's "not so close" friend, clearly cut off contact after the other party's disappearance is not surprising, but the current situation has brought himself into a more complicated situation, so complicated that even The labyrinth, where the entrance is impossible to find, made him do not know how to move forward.

Carrying a huge secret but unable to speak it out, and even helping to deceive more people.This feeling is really not very good.

"It's too difficult to hide from you," Edogawa also stopped polishing the parts, "In that case, how do you want me to lie?"

Lies will breed lies, until the superposition reaches a critical point that is on the verge of collapse, and people regret their initial decision to conceal the truth.

"Then..." Hei Yu didn't understand, "Is it easy for Ms. Lan to hide it? She obviously looks so—"

"I've tried," Edogawa said, "I feel...the whole world is preventing her from knowing that I'm Kudo Shinichi."

"...Have you tried it?"

"I've tried it, using various methods." Wracking his fingers and starting to cite examples, Edogawa's tone was deeply helpless, "When I arrived downstairs in the office, I planned to say it, but was interrupted by the uncle's nonsense. gone."

"That might just be a coincidence," Kuroba nodded, "and then?"

"Before going to sleep, I decided to clarify the facts before making a bigger misunderstanding," an active elementary school student sighed, "I was asked about the origin of the glasses... but I had to change the subject to tell a lie about the glasses to justify myself. "

Kuroba almost broke out in cold sweat, "It's not easy for you... after that, there will be no chance?"

"When I made up my mind to protest against going to elementary school and used Kudo Shinichi's identity as the final shield," Edogawa said with a look of lovelessness, "they appeared."

"……Who?"

Suddenly, the immature and clear child's voice rang in the ears of both of them.

"Conan, we're here to play with you!"

"Hey, brother Shinichi is here too?"

"He's the Ito who lives in the haunted house, the ghost house Ito—"

Somewhat dumbfounded, Kuroba watched several children whose height was not as long as his legs swarmed into the doctor's studio.The high-pitched child's voice was quite noisy at the moment, and he couldn't help but want to cover his ears.

"I'm not some ghost house Ito, I'm—" He wanted to clarify his identity, but was interrupted by Edogawa.

"Isn't it good to play what they think of as 'Kudo Shinichi' for them?" The glasses with flat lenses turned back, "This way people who can prove that 'Kudo Shinichi hasn't disappeared', and There are a few more."

"But..." Hei Yu sighed, "So they knew 'you'."

It turns out that the famous detective who is arrogant in front of the camera is well-known even among elementary school students.

"I met at the playground." Conan was too lazy to complain about the connection between the incident and the incident at this time. "Now, they are friends of 'Edogawa Conan' and members of the 'Boys of Detectives'."

Witnessing that Conan Edogawa communicated with his partners in an almost unrealistic childish voice, and got along with the group of elementary school students almost without violation, Kaito Kuroba felt that "it is not so good to play a role for a few unsuspecting children." Favorite character", is not too heavy a price.

Really, very funny.

Naturally, his joking mentality will inevitably be hit by the elementary school student whose body is shrunk, but whose combat power is still not to be underestimated.

The doctor's invention is really easy to use.

"Hey, doctor," Kuroba asked casually when he left the doctor's house that day. "The next time I come here, can you help me modify a few small props?"

Inadvertently speaking, the subsequent accumulation of cause and effect is like that high mountain of sugar cubes.It is so vulnerable that it can easily collapse and melt with just a slight touch of words——

Just like the last snowflake that fell on the branch, insignificant but heavy, with that insignificant and indifferent weight, it easily makes the hard work of piling up go to waste.
