[Conan] [Gin] Mr. Kurosawa next door may be a good guy

***move place!New neighbors! (;Д`)***

"Miss Aihara, according to the information on your identity certificate, it is legally stipulated that you cannot apply for a room alone without the company of a guardian under your age. I am very sorry."

Aihara Reiko, who had run into a wall again at the hotel, carried her luggage in desperation and looked for a place to stay in the quiet street.Her parents died in a traffic accident some time ago, and the family’s finances have always been relatively tight. The death of her parents cut off the family’s only source of income. She couldn’t afford the rent of the apartment and she had been staying with a classmate’s house for the past few days.But she couldn't trouble others all the time, she just made an excuse that her relatives were willing to pick her up and live with her, while she dragged her suitcase and found a cheap hotel on the desolate street.

Fortunately, she found a part-time job at a milk tea shop two days ago, and the savings she has accumulated while working and going to school these days can barely stay in a hotel for a while.

It was already midnight, and if she couldn't find a place to live, she would sleep on the street.She dragged a small suitcase, forced her sleepy eyes to close, and wandered aimlessly on the street until she reached a street that looked brightly lit and very lively.

Although Reiko Aihara has never been there, she also knows the existence of this place - the red light district.This is Japan's gray area, a place where parents have repeatedly warned that 'good kids should never go', and activities here are completely unregulated by law.

Even though she knew this, Reiko Aihara still wanted to try it. Although it was in the red light district, staying in a hotel was better than sleeping on the street.

The hotel had a "ラブホテル" signboard with pink lights, and she nervously clenched the handle of the trolley case, and walked into the hotel with the ambiguous eyes of the soliciting lady at the bar next door.

"Any room, the cheapest." She gathered up her beige windbreaker, trying to cover her school uniform.

Instead of asking for her ID or checking her in, the hotel owner stared greedily at her knee-length skirt.Aihara Reiko noticed this, her face turned pale and she wanted to leave, but she turned around through the glass door and saw the drunk man staring at her maliciously outside the door.

"A big bed room." The cold voice behind Aihara Reiko came back to her senses. She didn't know if the other guest who came to check in was a good person. She only knew that he was not interested in her at the moment. Compared with the drunks outside, she temporarily labeled him 'safe'.She can't stay now, and she can't go out. This guest may be her last chance.

"We are together. I want a room next to him." She looked at the hotel owner against the man's murderous gaze, and secretly stuffed the [-] yen rolled into the man's hand .She has seen such things as exchanging bribes for peace in novels, and she hopes it will work.

The man felt the coin being stuffed into his hand, and snorted coldly but did not deny her words aloud.

Maybe this gentleman is a frequent visitor. Seeing this, the hotel owner restrained himself a lot, quickly completed the formalities and gave her the room key, and never made things difficult for her again.When checking in, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the guest's name on the check-in form——Jin Kurosawa.

Although this Kurosawa-san doesn't seem easy to get along with, compared to the hotel owner and the hooligans in this red-light district, he should be regarded as... a normal person, right?At least you don't have to worry about being violated?

After being baptized by some uncomfortable male gazes this night, Aihara Reiko realized that her definition of 'normal' had changed.

Considering that she will probably live in this uncomfortable place for a long time in the future, she feels that she needs to establish a good relationship with this... I don't know if he is a good neighbor——Mr. Kurosawa.After all, he is currently the only person who can communicate normally in this area according to his own definition.

***friend?friend!ヾ(ω`)o***

"Reiko, are you still used to living at your cousin's house?" During the recess, Suzuki turned around and said, "Actually, it's good for you to stay at my house for a while, and you don't need to move out in such a hurry. "

"They are very kind to me. I'm very sorry to trouble you all the time." Aihara Reiko lowered her head shyly. She is really not very good at dealing with her classmates. She has received so much help from Suzuki-san before, but she hasn't solemnly thanked her Woolen cloth.

"That's good. If you need any help in the future, if we can help, please let us know." Mao Li enthusiastically asked, and the work of the milk tea shop was thanks to her introduction.

"Thank you. Maori, could you please tell me the story? I also want to thank Mr. Mori for helping me track down the perpetrators. Now they have been arrested and brought to justice. The famous detective Mori Kogoro really lives up to his reputation." Aihara Reiko mustered up her courage and awkwardly tried to express her gratitude.

Although Mori-san and Suzuki-san have repeatedly stated that she doesn't have to be so polite and can just call them by their first names, but Aihara Reiko is used to using honorifics, and she always feels that calling them by their names will offend others.Fortunately, Maori and Suzuki also understood her introverted personality and social barriers, and they did not ask her to change her name.

"I will. Dad is also very happy to be able to help a little bit." Maori suddenly thought of something, and enthusiastically sent out the invitation, "Will Reiko come to the detective agency after school? I have a younger brother, Shinichi My relatives entrusted him to my house, and he also likes Conan Doyle’s books very much, so you may be able to chat with him. His name is Conan.”

"Is that the kid Mr. Mori brought with me before? He also likes Conan Doyle." When Conan Doyle was mentioned, Aihara Reiko's eyes lit up. She was buried in the pile of books all day long. Her favorite book is The Sherlock Holmes series written by Mr. Conan Doyle, "Will this bother you?"

"No, Dad has less work recently, and we haven't entertained guests for a long time." Mori-san looked at her expectantly, and Suzuki-san also echoed her invitation, saying that they would go together after school.

Aihara Reiko nodded gratefully, Mori-san and Suzuki-san are really good people!She is not stupid, and she can tell that these two thoughtful girls want to help her get out of the shadow of the traffic accident.She and them are usually not very friendly little sisters, but the relationship between classmates who occasionally help with homework after class.When something like this happened in her family, she was really grateful for their help.

Mori's father also followed the trend unexpectedly, and actually admired Ms. Yoko Okino, whom boys are obsessed with now.The little brother named Conan is also a fan of Mr. Doyle's books. They have a lot of common topics in this regard. Although she is a little younger, she has made another good friend.

"Sister Lingzi actually has the original version of Mr. Doyle's "The Hound of the Baskervilles"?" Conan's little brother said excitedly, "Can you lend me to read it? It will take three days!"

"It's fine, but I didn't bring it with me. I'll take it to school tomorrow, and I'll let Maori classmate bring it to you." She couldn't say no to the cute little friend.

Aihara Reiko reluctantly said goodbye to the Mori classmates who were trying to retain them, but unfortunately she couldn't stay in the Mori Detective Agency for too long, the red light district was not safe in the first place, and it would be even more unsafe if she went back in the middle of the night.

The author has something to say:

ps I don't know much about the red light district in Japan, so I guess it doesn't match the real red light district.However, the Japanese guns and bombs in the world of Conan are tools that ordinary people can get. The crime rate and laws in the gray area here will be exaggerated.
