[Ming Ke] Starting from scratch

Murata Yoshishima saw heavy rain falling outside the villa, and ran several floors to close the doors and windows.When returning to the living room on the first floor, Murata Ikazu just unplugged the USB flash drive next to the computer.

"It was dry just now, but autumn is really capricious." Murata Yoshishima asked worriedly, "Will the basement not get damp?"

"I'll check the use of the prosthetic body right away." Murata Ikazu said, "I'll ask you to take care of Roman, have you cleaned the empty room?"

Fang Island was puzzled: "Empty room? Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

"It's raining so heavily, and it's late at night again, isn't it convenient for Amuro-kun to go back?" Jing He suggested, "It would be better to keep him overnight."

Fang Dao nodded understandingly, made a pot of tea, and walked to Romani's bedroom on the second floor.There are a dozen rooms on the second floor, and she and Jing He both live opposite Romani's room.All the bedrooms have been furnished in advance, and some of them are even occupied. However, the empty rooms have been cleaned for two days since the last time. If you entertain guests——

Fang Dao finally pushed open a room and called softly: "Stone man?"

In a dark room with no lights on, an adult male sat on a chair.Hearing the sound, he turned his head slightly, staring at Murata Yoshishima with bright light brown eyes.

"Murata, Fang Island." The man known as the stone man said, "What's the matter?"

Murata Yoshishima said apologetically, "Maybe it was sudden, but a guest came temporarily, can you be wronged in the spare room for a night? I will clean the new room again, and there will be no such thing in the future. "

"Although I don't understand what 'grievance' refers to," Shi Ren replied politely, "I am willing to help."

This bedroom has no extra decorations, no corner has ever been visited, it is clean and cold as if it has never been lived in.The stone man stood up without hesitation, the chair made a scratching sound on the floor, he pushed open the door and walked out——

He ran into Toru Amuro who came out of the opposite room.

The stone man looked at Toru Amuro with light-colored clear eyes, and suddenly said, "Is this room... my sister's?"

Toru Amuro didn't hear clearly, and subconsciously asked, "What?"

The stone man looked at him hesitantly, without blinking his eyes, until Murata Yoshishima whispered, "The stone man?" He slowly came back to his senses, smiled at Toru Amuro, "Hello." Then he walked to the far room.

The stone man walked from one cold room to another, and continued to maintain his posture of sitting upright on the chair—some fragments seemed to appear in front of his eyes.He gently supported his head and fell into a dream.

"Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Amuro." Murata Yoshishima said, "Have you guys finished talking? It's raining a lot outside, if you don't mind, please stay in the room for one night—"

Amuro smiled, "I was about to talk about this too. However, it will take longer until the danger is lifted. Can I disturb you in the villa?"

Faced with Yoshishima's puzzled expression, Toru Amuro said, "It's an order from the superior, and Ms. Roman must be protected at all times."

"So that's how it is," Murata Yoshishima opened his eyes wide. "This is so——happy! Have you mentioned it to Roman? She must be very happy!"

Some abnormally positive responses disrupted Toru Amuro's uneasy position, "I mentioned something just now, she asked me to ask you. It's obvious that I'm bothering you too much, is it really appropriate...?"

"It couldn't be more suitable!" Murata Yoshishima said happily, "Mr. Amuro may not have noticed that every time after seeing Mr. Amuro, Roman is very happy, which is very rare for us——Roman can use Amuro It’s good that Mister recovers as an opportunity, we all hope so. If you stay in the villa for a long time, you will definitely be able to speed up her recovery. Ah, maybe even we can recover faster.”

Amuro asked, "Recovery? Do you mean this physical injury?"

"No, isn't it?" Murata Yoshishima said, "It may be a pity to die with one's own body, but it's a breeze to restore health - if you want a prosthetic body, you can have as many as you want."

Seeing Amuro's expression as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights, Fang Island smiled, "If you have a chance, Mr. Amuro, please come to the basement to have a look. It's already so late, please go into this room to rest. If you need to call the extension at any time, just call good."

Toru Amuro watched Yoshishima leave ignorantly, still digesting these words in his head, as he walked into the open door.

The bedroom has everything in it, the lighting is also very comfortable, and the conditions in all aspects are not inferior to his apartment. ――However, will the spare room be this clean?

It's like a new room that no one has ever lived in.

In the early morning of the next day, there were still few pedestrians on the street, and the Polo Coffee Shop had already opened.Just as Miss Zi was about to put on her gloves, the phone rang suddenly.

Who called so early——Azusa was surprised to see the words "Toru Amuro".

"Long-term leave—?!"

Azusa posted the job advertisement worriedly, knelt down and said to the little detective: "Yes, it seems that something happened at home, I don't know when I can go back to work normally, it doesn't matter if I say it's just dismissed-but Amuro-kun's skills are temporary. Where can I find it in a while? It would be great if he could come back soon."

"Conan and Amuro-kun seem to have a good relationship, right?" Azusa patted Conan's head, then walked back to continue business.

Conan Edogawa frowned as he looked at the coffee shop where Azusa was busy going by himself, his bright glasses reflected a white light.Something is wrong.This is so wrong.It doesn't matter even expulsion, so even the identity of Maori disciple is also left behind.Did something urgent happen?So important that you can't even give an end time limit?

"Conan? - Edogawa Conan?"

Haibara Ai's voice woke up Conan.Hui Yuanai stood by the street lamp and looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you so preoccupied? You're going to be late for school."

"Ah, sorry." Conan hurried to catch up, "I kept you waiting."

"Hey, what's the matter with you, you left without saying hello?" During the primary school cleaning time, Conan hid in a corner where no one was around and dialed the number. "Are you going to have an accident?"

"Ah, Conan-kun...?" The voice over there hesitated, "It's okay, but I can't go to the coffee shop to work for the time being."

"Suddenly saying that you can't go, must be some serious incident happened? If there is anything that can help, please let me know." Conan said worriedly.

"Of course, but it's not something that needs help, so don't worry." Amuro smiled and hung up the phone.

He turned to look at Romani who was lying on the bed, "Sorry, greetings from a friend. How are you doing today?"

Romani nodded, "Thank you for your concern. The basic function has been restored, and it will be back to normal within today. However, according to the perception of the outside world, an injury of this degree should be seriously ill for another ten days before it can be investigated. Fabricated The private doctor will use this as a basis to communicate with the police about the robbery."

"Then I can only stay at home for ten days, it will be very boring." Toru Amuro said.

Romani replied thoughtfully: "I can't accurately experience the emotion of boredom, but now... it should be very interesting."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Because Mr. Amuro is here." Romani laughed, "It seems that as long as Mr. Amuro is around, you will find it very interesting."

Toru Amuro was stunned, and touched the tip of his nose unconsciously, "I'm kind of... an interesting person. Work takes up most of my time, and I don't have time to study other things."

"Well, is that so?" Romani asked, "What does Mr. Amuro think is interesting?"

"I did meet some interesting people, by the way, the person who called just now," Toru Amuro remembered, "You have met them too, when we met for the first time in Mihua Town, you saved a little boy Among them is a little detective named Edogawa Conan. He is really interesting——it is also because of him that I decided to stay in Mori Detective Agency for a while.”

Romani searched the database for a while, and suddenly said, "Are you talking about being a victim of APTX48?"

Toru Amuro was surprised: "You even know this? Although I haven't confirmed it yet, he should be the victim of Shinichi Kudo's drug use."

Kudo Shinichi.I seem to have heard this name somewhere——Romani suddenly remembered, "The Didan High School I am studying in also has a detective named Kudo Shinichi."

Or Mao Lilan's boyfriend——

Romani looked at Toru Amuro in surprise, "Is there a lady named Mori Lan in the Mori Detective Agency you mentioned?"

Amuro Toru's expression already gave the answer.Romani sorted out several clues, and said with some mixed feelings, "So, the reason why Mao Lilan's boyfriend disappeared was that he was persecuted by the organization and turned into that elementary school student. It should be said, the world is really small, isn't it—"

She laughed happily, "Mr. Amuro always brings interesting things."

"It's only interesting because of the incident itself? Roman overestimated me." Toru Amuro said helplessly, "I'm not such an interesting person."

But——Romani asked with some doubts.

"Because Mr. Amuro shared it with me, I can feel the 'pleasure' emotion."

Because it is you, because only you.

Hearing these words, Toru Amuro's ears were stained a little red.Saying such a terrible thing with such longing eyes, it's really bold──

The girl's clear eyes carefully described his figure.Tranquil and persistent mood.Words that came softly and without hesitation.

Facing all of this, Toru Amuro was like a balloon that was broken by a toy gun with a "bang", light and soft, melting into the sweet cotton candy.

The girl doesn't know how to convey her heart, but she managed to convey it to this person.

Because only you know the real me and stay with me like this.Only you are unique, and you didn't turn away because of those ugly faces.So I feel happy and feel the satisfaction that I am a real existence.

Actually, I do the same to you.

Toru Amuro looked at the girl with a smile, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in her sapphire blue eyes.

"Since I have to stay at home for a long time, should I cook occasionally?"

Toru Amuro, who proposed in this way, walked into the kitchen of the villa.All kitchen utensils are available.He prepared the ingredients skillfully, and asked Murata Yoshishima who was standing beside him cautiously: "Excuse me, do you have any taboos? Last time I saw someone upstairs, how many servings should I make?"

Murata Yoshishima replied: "There is no taboo, just follow your heart. Except for your own portion, there are only three of us who need to eat. The person Mr. Amuro saw last time was a stone man. He is the same as everyone else. The need to eat."

Toru Amuro thoughtfully, wrote down this sentence, and then focused on the food.

The bell rang at noon, and Romani went downstairs in his wheelchair, smelling the rich aroma of food.Murata Yoshishima and Murata Iwa looked at a large table of dishes with complex expressions, and were reflecting on their cooking skills.

Toru Amuro unbuttoned his apron and said with a smile, "You are all here. This is creamy mushroom cheese soup, spicy mapo tofu, assorted salad, fruit and vegetable spring rolls, roasted avocado with Yexiang cheese, shimeji mushroom and salmon crisps, glutinous rice dumpling -- four Personally speaking, are these enough?"

After the four of them were seated, Romani tasted all kinds of food carefully, and asked in a daze, "Is this the food that ordinary people eat?"

The Murata brothers and sisters were also a little at a loss. Fang Island made up his mind and said to Amuro: "Can you guide me to make such a meal? To be honest, the food made according to the program does not have such a comfortable feeling at all."

"Of course, I can help you at any time." Toru Amuro is very happy, "Food can bring joy to the tasters, which is the best reward for a chef. It is also because of this that I used to study cooking occasionally. .”

After a meal, several people were very satisfied. Murata Yoshishima ran to wash the dishes. Jing He suggested: "If it is such a food full of heart, let Shiren and others try it in the future. Maybe it will be effective for treatment."

Romani nodded slightly, "When Fang Island learns something, let my compatriots start trying every day."

Amuro pushed the wheelchair to help Romani back to the room. After Romani finished taking the medicine, he asked hesitantly: "You guys said something today, I don't quite understand it. Shi Renjun and the others don't need to eat, is it also the result of human experiments? What means?"

"That's true." Romani confirmed his guess, and his mood became a little calm, "Everyone in the villa is a victim of PHTC42. Unlike those victims who have died completely because of this, we have returned to Japan Therefore, there is no distinction between everyone in the villa, we are just compatriots who escaped together. I recovered earlier than the Murata brothers and sisters, and the Murata brothers and sisters were earlier than others, that's all."

"Thank you for being willing to tell me this." Toru Amuro said sincerely.

"It's not something to be ashamed to say." Romani said, "It's just that the scar hasn't fully healed, so—"

"I know," Toru Amuro put his arm on her shoulder reassuringly, his tone slowed down, "You don't need to force it."

The warmth from my shoulders seemed to flow all the way to my heart.Maybe it was too cold in the room.Romani thought.

She could feel that the program's defenses were already crumbling.When it is completely broken, she will be able to calmly lay out this darkness one by one.When Romani made up her mind, the strength on her shoulders suddenly tightened. She raised her head blankly and looked at Amuro warmly.

"If you feel pain, don't force yourself to face it. Just face a better tomorrow."
