Not too many out of four

Zhongyuan Zhong didn't expect that he would fall drunk under the wood scorpion and catnip, he just felt that he smelled a special smell, which made his mood slightly aroused, and he ran over to check the situation worriedly.

"Mr. Zhongye" and "Zhongye" who were weaker in resistance were already lying on the ground, rolling around, stumbling, jumping up and climbing up, making the hallway a mess.

Zhongyuan Zhong also had no choice but to gather his body and try his best to resist the feeling of excitement that lures the cat.

But the cat's instinctive reaction is more influential than he imagined, and knocking over the scorpion and catnip at the entrance is not something he can easily resist with willpower.

However, it may be that the physique of a cat is different, even if it is the same cat in the Central Plains, the cat's body will have different changes. Compared with "Zhongye Jun" and "Zhongye", he began to vent his exuberant energy everywhere.

Instead, he slowly felt sleepy.

The four cats in the family began to regain their human form one after another, especially "Zhongye Jun", who represented his original past. According to incomplete statistics, the number of times he changed back to human form was three times, "Brother Zhongye" once, "Zhongye "He is not sure, but it is estimated that he has recovered his human form more or less once.

As for whether Nakahara Chuya himself will be in a hurry, he naturally can't take it completely off his mind. It is related to the method and key of restoring the human form. It can be seen that the other cats in the family have not fully grasped it, especially "Zhong" who has changed back to the human form the most times. Ye Jun" also looked ignorant.

Zhong Yuanzhong also had to give up the expectation that they could master the method of changing people as soon as possible, and started to find another way by himself.

However, he wasn't the type to pin his hopes on others, so he was also thinking about the exact and effective way to transform back into a human form.

Enduring the drowsiness of the body last night, he waited until the little kitten Zhongya returned to his human form, Li Jia fell asleep peacefully, and then he slowly relaxed his spirit and consciousness. He woke up at the usual time in the morning, and it was inevitable that he would start to feel sleepy now.

The drowsiness rose and gradually blurred Nakahara Chuya's consciousness. While dozing off, he remembered the past.

A certain irresponsible bastard dropped everything and left. He took over the position of leader in a daze, shouldering the huge organization that controls the underground forces in the entire Kanto region and even affects government agencies.

After a lapse of seven years, he assumed the position of the leader again, and he also understood the true meaning of the leader to the organization and what Mr. Mori said back then.

For the leader, calm decision-making is far more important than force value. The leader does not need to often lead his men to the mission site. What the leader needs is to sit in the leader's position and plan the curtain.

But after all, he is a different person from the previous two leaders, and his different personality and thinking direction also determine that the port mafia will go to a different situation under his command.

The muffled sound fell behind him, and Zhong Yuan Zhong also shook his ears, belatedly realizing that "Mr. Zhong Ye" knocked over the vase in the shoe cabinet and poured all the water down to soak the carpet.

Although it was not an expensive carpet, the good water absorption made the carpet under Nakahara Nakaya wet, and the place where his feet were balled became chilly.

When Li Jia called their names, his sleepy consciousness woke up for a moment. Nakahara Nakaya looked back around, and was surprised to find that the entrance and the first floor were tossed around by two energetic fake cats.

"Meow." They all got into trouble.

Obviously he was taught a lesson yesterday, but today he let his excited emotions run wild, making the house a mess.

Of course, he can't be excluded as a troublemaker, who told him to bite Mutian Polygonum in place to "fight poison with poison" in order to resist the excitement and pleasure of catnip that relaxes the cat's body.

……

Fingers gently caress the surface of the body, combing the fur little by little, which is completely different from catnip and Polygonum arborescens, which is more natural and makes the cat relax and comfortable, and also allows Zhongyuan Zhong to lie down and enjoy it with peace of mind.

The fine-tooth comb is fine and slightly sharp, which is good for massaging the body. Even if a lot of hair is combed, you don’t have to worry about going bald. In autumn and winter, the cat’s body instinct will make the hair grow more vigorously in order to keep out the cold.

The body will automatically feel the surrounding temperature and gradually prepare for the cold winter from autumn, and grow fluffy and soft hair that Lijia loves and preserves the cat's body temperature.

Nakahara Nakaya's current body is no different from that of a normal cat, and he is about to pass the milestone of a cat's life, the first year of adulthood.

The last time Li Jia mistook "Mr. Zhongye" for a cat demon inspired him. She seemed to have always believed in mysterious legends and stories, and often watched morning divination and special programs of psychics.

If the cats cannot return to their own world within a few years or in this life, they should make preparations and plans early, and use the legend of the cat demon to dispel Li Jia's idea of ​​neutering them.

After all, this little girl who is afraid of loneliness just doesn't want them to leave her life early. Even if sterilization can only make them live a few more years, she also hopes that they can spend more time by her side.

Although it is immoral to use "Mr. Zhongye" to tell Li Jia that keeping the cat's body intact is more conducive to cultivating into a long-lived cat demon, but this is one of the urgent solutions for the kitten.

Thinking about the positive side, their bodies are completely unable to change back to humans from the very beginning, and they gradually get the opportunity to change back to humans. This may be related to their actual age and the age of cats. As time goes by, they can turn back to humans The time and frequency may also increase.

Sooner or later, they will appear in front of Li Jia with their original identities, and it is impossible to keep the truth from her all the time.

It may be difficult for Li Jia to accept that a cat raised by himself can become a human being, but Zhong Yuanzhong also has the patience to wait for her to digest it slowly.

They have lived together for nearly a year, and they have long become important family members in each other's hearts. It is uncomfortable for anyone to leave suddenly and part.

But the fact is that no matter how you don't want to accept it, the longer you hide it, the more damage it will do to Li Jia. The sooner you let her know the truth, the more time she will have to digest herself.

Deceit and concealment are only temporary and cannot last long, just like now——

"Miss Lan thinks Conan-jun and brother are very similar?" Li Jia was stunned by Mao Lilan's question, and her combing action slowed down: "Does it mean that they are all smart?"

Mao Lilan sat next to her with a lot of thoughts, her hands couldn't help trampling on the handbag, and said, "Don't Li Jia think that Conan-kun looks a lot like Xinxiao?"

She lowered her eyelids and murmured: "...it looks exactly the same when you take off your glasses."

Li Jia lived in Aichi County since she was a child, and moved here in the past two years. I really don't know what Kudo Shin looked like when he was a child, but the photo album in Kudo's house has photos of them when they were young.

After hearing Mao Lilan's words, she thought for a moment and decided to dig out the photo album organized by Yukiko Kudo. People's memory may undergo subtle changes and blurring over time, but the photos will not change.

To prove whether they look alike, it is better to go to the photo album to find out.

"Did Conan-kun take off his glasses in front of Ms. Lan?" Li Jia flipped through the photos of Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran's first-grade entrance ceremony in the photo album, following Edogawa Conan's facial features and appearance in his mind to deduce what he might be like in ten years. What it will grow into.

Mao Lilan shook her head slowly, looking fixedly at the photo: "Kenan-kun won't take off his glasses even when taking a bath or sleeping." Especially when in front of her.

"It's really strange to say that," Li Jia flipped through the photo album page by page. There were photos of the elementary school graduation ceremony, middle school entrance ceremony, graduation ceremony, and finally the entrance ceremony of Didan High School.

It can almost completely overlap with the appearance of Conan Edogawa's facial features that she calculated in her mind in the next ten years.

However, this is without the calculation glasses. Wearing glasses for a long time will also have a certain impact on the facial features of the child during the growth period. The appearance calculated in her mind is actually not very accurate.

"Even if Aunt Yukiko and Uncle Kudo's second child was born in the United States, it is impossible to look exactly the same." Li Jia closed the photo album, hugged Nakahara again, and combed his floating hair and straightened his knotted hair .

"Lijia thinks so too, right?" Mao Lilan became a little excited. She couldn't tell anyone the secret that had been kept in her heart for a long time. Even her best friend didn't want to disturb each other with uncertain things.

But Li Jia is the same as her. They both care about the whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi. They can only contact each other by phone, and they can't even see him. They also took a long vacation at school and didn't go back to school.

How can this not make them worry?

Nakahara Chuya almost certainly thought that Kudo was going to be doomed this time.

The secret of becoming smaller did not take the initiative to confess to his girlfriend and sister, but let them touch it all by themselves. If Kudo is really exposed, it will probably cause them a lot of tears.

Li Jia pondered and said slowly: "Assuming, I mean assuming, my brother is really Conan-kun, then why would he become like this? Is it because of a curse?"

My elder brother is always curious, because it is not impossible for him to be cursed and become smaller because of curiosity.

"Then he can also tell us about the incident?" Mao Lilan wiped the corners of her wet eyes and couldn't help complaining: "Seeing that we have been worrying about him..."

"Maybe it's a curse that telling the truth to those around you will bring bad luck to them?" Li Jia handed her a handkerchief and comforted her: "My brother probably has his own ideas if he doesn't tell us the truth."

Seeing that Mao Lilan still couldn't stop crying, Li Jia hesitated and said, "Actually, I'm also waiting for someone to tell me the truth."

Zhongyuan Zhong also erected his ears silently, and stretched his body more and more quietly.

Li Jia is also waiting for someone to tell her the truth, who is it?There should be no one around her who would hide things from her.

Good friend Momoi Itsuki at school has nothing to hide from her, and the relationship between Seijuro Akashi at the next table is not good enough to tell each other their secrets.

So who is Li Jia talking about?

"Li Jia is also waiting for someone to confess? Is it Xinyi?" Mao Lilan was so surprised that she wiped away her tears and asked worriedly.

Li Jia smiled embarrassedly: "It's not my brother, I just need to know that my brother is healthy and fine."

It seems a little heartless to say this, but she really thinks that her brother is very powerful. If he stays outside and does not go home, he must have important things to deal with. , greeted lazily.

"It's a person who has only met a few times but saved me." Li Jia turned her attention away, hugged Nakahara Nakaya's head to hide her uneasiness, and said, "It always feels like he knows a lot about me. .”

Zhong Yuan was also distracted by her words, and he didn't care about Yi Lijia approaching and fiddled with him.

"The person who saved you..." Mao Lilan asked anxiously: "Is Li Jia in danger? Why didn't you tell us? Are you injured?"

Li Jia froze for a moment, only to realize that she had accidentally leaked the matter. She didn't want her brother and Miss Lan to worry, so she didn't tell them.

"I'm not injured," Li Jia said with a smile, bending her eyebrows, "How can I hide from you that I was injured?"

Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she become curious: "What kind of person is that? Have I met Xinyi?"

"It's someone neither Miss Lan nor her brother have ever seen before," Li Jia took advantage of Central Plains to brush the hair on the cat's abdomen, hesitatingly said, "Is he a boy like a fairy?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked at her helplessly, should it be said that she is someone who has lived together for almost a year?Grabbing him all at once, turning him over to comb the messy hair on his abdomen.

What no one in the port mafia can do is easily done by a little girl. He doesn't even have any thoughts of resistance, and he has no choice but to condone her petty thoughts and petty actions.

"A boy like a goblin?" Mao Lilan was puzzled by her description, and his face changed a few times. Inexplicably, he remembered the case he had contacted with Moori Kogoro and the others, and asked: "Is it like a goblin?"

A goblin goblin who can come and go freely in the Galewind Thieves.

Li Jia was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Are goblins also considered fairies?"

The goblin in her impression has always been the kind of goblin like Peter Pan who is light and easy, and has a cute and lovable appearance.

She had never imagined that Nakahara Chuya's appearance would be included in the goblin legends. Although the cat monster was also a monster with a humanoid shape, it should still look better than the goblin.

"It really doesn't look like it," Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly, and changed the subject: "And then? Why did Li Jia say that he is a boy like a goblin?"

Generally, the words used to describe people would not use such special words as goblins.

"The mystery comes and goes like the wind, the skill is very powerful, and the person is also very kind..." Li Jia's voice slowed down, and her movements were soft and slow: "It may be strange for me to say that, but I think I am willing to help people who meet for the first time. He must not be a bad guy."

So even though she knew it was wrong, when she saw him suddenly appearing in the heavy rain with his body drenched, like a poor homeless cat and like a brave man standing proudly between the heavens and the earth and not afraid of any difficulties, she couldn't help stretching out her hand and thinking Help him.

Just as the boy had risked exposure to the Mafia to protect her, she had risked reaching out to him.

But after thinking about it, there are still some doubts about the young man. He seems to know her very well, even better than his best friend and brother.

It's really strange, obviously they only met three times.

Mao Lilan's eyes lit up slightly, she couldn't help approaching, and asked in a low voice: "Does Li Jia like him?"

I like the boy who suddenly appeared in his life like a fairy.

"Like it?" Li Jia tilted her head in doubt, and said naturally, "Is it because my brother likes Miss Lan as much?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also whistled in his heart, and fought back beautifully.

He has long since disliked Kudo's dawdling and being unable to get the woman he likes.

Obviously, the people around them almost defaulted to their relationship and mutual affection, but the two parties were still holding back their words, poking once and twice, making people want to drag them to sign the marriage contract and quickly confirm the relationship between husband and wife.

Just now she was thinking about asking Li Jia and the boy who mysteriously saved her, Mao Lilan's cheeks flushed immediately: "No, no, Xinyi, Xinyi didn't like me."

"We're just friends, not what you think." She frantically tried to explain, completely forgetting the question she started asking.

"Is that so?" Li Jia was puzzled and said, "But I have seen my brother secretly watch Miss Lan blushing."

Zhongyuan Zhong also snorted secretly, Mao Li didn't even know that Kudo liked her, how dawdling was he?No, when he can completely control himself to become human, they are not together yet.
