I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

The stubborn detective who believes in science and does not believe in superpowers is finally sanctioned by his nemesis.

His dear "sister" Xiaolan used her fist to make him realize clearly that this is not a dream, but a real reality.

After all, Xiaolan's fist is really terrifying.

Hitting the top of the head twice, it really hurts.

The incident of "following strangers without understanding and throwing away the mobile phone made everyone worry" has become the dark history of Edogawa Conan's life for no apparent reason.

A high school student detective in a primary school student’s shell will inevitably pay a heavy price for today’s wrong judgments. For example, even after a year or two, or even after Kudo Shinichi’s identity is restored, someone will deliberately make fun of his lost black history ...

Let's not mention those later words for the time being.

Thanks to Ms. Xiaolan's most direct and direct help, plus the tears shed because of real worry after the violence, Edogawa Conan came back to his senses at this time, flustered, and was at a loss for a while.

Only at that moment did he realize that he had really fallen into a huge misunderstanding.

"Dream" is just an explanation he pulls out to find a reasonable reason for the unreasonable. Once the key is named, he will suddenly be enlightened and suddenly realize.

When he was surrounded by relatives and friends who came here and preached one by one.

Although I'm sorry everyone, the detective looked over the head of the person in front of him, and looked at the stone floating slowly behind them.

On the square in the center of the amusement park, there are still countless tourists coming and going.

The ferris wheel that was dismantled by angry superpowers and turned into a spinning top was drifting back leisurely, the cracks on the ground re-closed like special effects in a movie, and the scattered stones returned to their original places in an orderly manner.

These scenarios are all real, and they all operate openly and aboveboard where everyone can see them.

Obviously, it should arouse everyone's shock and let people show stunned expressions, but the fact is that the passers-by are very disrespectful, and they don't cast any extra eyes on the astonishing spectacle.

"This performance is like—"

To the people who saw the scene that appeared in shock, it was nothing more than an ordinary thing...?

The young detective's expression became more solemn than ever, and the more serious eyes under the lens revealed the deep thought in his heart.

It wasn't long before the roller coaster went off the rails and went straight into the sky, and then was miraculously caught and lowered to the ground. It didn't take long, and he was probably the only one who remembered it.

Combining this is not a dream with what those two strange strangers I met earlier said.

It is very difficult to accept something that I never thought would exist.

The detective's Sanguan, which was as strong as steel, was hit by a dull hammer, and he shook it tenaciously a few times. In the end, he was overwhelmed and turned into fragile glass and shattered to the ground.

However, a detective is worthy of being a detective.

With the fragments of the Three Views in his bag, Edogawa Conan swept away the annoyance and discouragement in his heart, and regained the high spirits in his eyes.

'Those two people have worked so hard, is the purpose just to make me realize that' this is not normal'?Of course it is impossible, what is their real purpose? '

Professional habits reappeared logically, the young detective thought about it, and at the same time quickly integrated all the information he knew so far.

He looked around again, as if he wanted to find the identities of those two mysterious figures...

"Still looking around! Conan, you are really disobedient!"

The detective was shocked, and was suddenly distracted: "Sister Xiaolan?! Ahhh, I'm sorry, I was wrong——"

The predicament that the pseudo-primary school students fell into immediately is still going on, and there is no way out of it in a short time.

On the other side, the "mysterious person" he was trying to find has successfully reunited with the companions who came to the rescue.

"Yo! Eric! Well done, thanks for your help."

"Hmph, it takes a lot of time to go around in circles for such a small matter, you guys are too long-winded."

When friends meet each other, the conversation as a greeting is so non-straightforward.

Saitama said that it's okay, okay, he's used to it, Eric's exclusive sentence pattern or something-oh, it shouldn't be exclusive to Eric now.

Looking to the side, the boy with facial paralysis at a glance just received the message that he should speak, and he was barely speaking telepathically: "Although I can achieve my goal later, it will take a little more time, but since you act first If it helped me a lot, then I too..."

Saitama said quickly: "Here, the standard 'although but' sentence pattern! The translated meaning is, 'thanks for your help'—right?"

Saiki Kusuo: "..."

Although the true connotation of "although xx but xx" has been cracked.

But the inherently arrogant superpowers still won't compromise easily.

He still insisted: "It's wrong, of course I didn't mean that, please don't translate other people's unfinished words without authorization, thank you!"

"Alright alright."

Saitama did not continue to dwell on this issue.

He was still a little curious, and he wanted to find out how his friend who was not an intelligent player (not slander, Eric himself said, he hates twists and turns) came up with the lore.

How troublesome that young detective is, you can see from how miserable Qi Mu was pissed off, it's genuine and not adulterated at all.

"It's really stupid."

The silver-haired boy folded his hands, and cast a sideways glance that was not on the same level as them.

"That detective boy is not stupid. If he got into the corner of the horns and asked someone he can trust to drag him out, it would be fine."

"In case of an accident, the first thing the detective boy blocked was that girl. When the piece of iron flew out, he was also the first to stop her."

Only the most important people who take it to heart will be the first to think of danger when it happens.

Because, that action has been integrated into the instinct, and it has become the subconsciousness to protect him/her.

"Huh? Ah, yes, it does make sense."

Saitama nodded, and just expressed his impression of "Eric is amazing".

Then he heard his friend say modestly: "Of course. You two, tsk tsk, are too young."

"It's really strange for you to say that..."

"Really? But you look shorter than me oh no, much smaller."

Saiki Kusuo interrupted abruptly with a rather shocking speech.

If age is determined by height, junior high school student Kusuo Saiki is a head taller than the silver-haired boy.

but.

Snapped!

The huge cross veins slapped on the forehead of the silver-haired boy.

Eric: "...It's been a long time since I heard such fearless words."

--short.

"This brat, did you say the word 'short' just now? You must have said it!"

"Okay, enough, enough, stop creating chaos! Eric, show a maturity that is much older than the combined ages of Saiki Kusuo and me!"

Not long ago, the bald-headed man who dragged the boy with superpowers to keep him from losing his mind... Cough, the hero out of interest, as expected, now he has to work hard to hold his friend who was poked in the sore foot, so as not to let him get mad.

Being friends with these two is more tiring than being a part-time hero, maybe.

Eric's actual age is still a mystery.

The boy said that he was very tall before he died, and the point is that he died once-this Saitama believed it.

The young man said that he should have lived for a long, long time before he died, so long that he was so bored that he felt tired of living. It can be said that anyone he meets now is a junior of a small level with him—this Qi Yu also believed it.

believable……

Right ...

Saitama (serious color): "Well! My friend, what you say is what you say, I believe it!"

It contains elements of blind trust for the sake of touching friendship, and how much self-brainwashing elements are coaxing children, only Saitama himself knows.

At least, just looking at the (appearance) performance of a young man who claimed to be the ancestor of everyone present at the moment, it is really impossible to imagine his appearance after vicissitudes.

Saiki Kusuo knew the general situation of Eric in advance from Saitama through a rather cheating telepathy.

What he said just now was a temptation.

Now, the result of the trial is coming out.

No surprise at all.

When Saitama was still able to control his friends, the boy with superpowers rested his cheeks in a state of contemplation, and was still lighting the fire after pouring oil: "No matter from the height or performance, I can't see the shadow of maturity, so I asked if it was true. Yes."

Eric: "..."

Saitama: "..."

There was no sign of landslides, earth cracks, and sky collapses.

But for some reason, the temperature in the amusement park suddenly dropped, and in a blink of an eye it was ice and snow... that's all.

"Stop! Stop it for me! Ah, really, the exclamation points I had in the past twenty years or so have all been used up after I met you, obviously I'm not such an excited person."

This is the voice of a hero full of doubts and self-examination due to interest.

"The scope is beyond! Even if you can use superpowers to change people's cognition, the impact of freezing thousands of people and catching colds is too much. If you don't pay attention, it will be on the news!"

The alarm bell sounded in the boy with superpowers, and he began to worry about whether he would be forced to make a high-profile statement—it was impossible to retract the preface, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't retract it, so it had to be like this!

"It's all the fault of this kid for saying something that doesn't match the reality! Sure enough, a kid is a kid, childish!"

I can't tell clearly, and I can't tell who is more naive, a real junior high school student or a real old man in the shell of a primary school student.

Saitama's sense of presence has been highlighted again.

It must have been the worst day the hero has ever had.

"What should I do if I encounter a situation that cannot be resolved with a single punch? Oops, it's completely beyond my ability."

The hero out of interest patted his head, trying to wake himself up in this way and come up with a solution in time.

Take a shot.

what.

There really is.

"Don't worry about that much for now. Hey, since we've all come to the amusement park...Although it's almost night, let's take a look at it anyway."

"Come on, let's do it one by one."

Saying so, the man who left for a while came back with three strange things, and forced them to each of the real and fake teenagers who were fighting each other.

Eric: "..."

"This. Colorful, what the hell. Uh, it's disgusting."

Saitama: "Don't use such a disgusting tone!"

"Marshmallow."

The esper who was holding a strange object said calmly.

The corners of Eric's eyes twitched, as if he was resisting the urge to throw this thing away: "Isn't the marshmallow white? I saw the kid eat it."

"This is the cotton candy specially provided by the amusement park. It is specially made into a beautiful shape. Children like it the most, and adults also..."

Saitama held up the one left for himself, and rubbed the bamboo stick with his fingers, making the soft object that was probably a rabbit spin fast: "The above is my own guess. I don't know if they like it or not, well, you should know Do you like it?"

"..."

"By the way, this is a rabbit, not a bald man."

"No one said those two words at all, okay?"

"No, I know you must have said it in your heart!"

"That's what Kid Qi Mu said, I'm not that boring! Take this thing away, I don't want it."

"Don't throw it away, I bought it with the only money we had, Eric, you can't insult the fruits of my hard work all day!"

"Who told you to spend money to buy this!!!"

The excitement just ended, and there was a new person here, and it started again.

Saiki Kusuo, who was off topic for a while, glanced at Rabbit Cotton Candy, and really couldn't figure out why he got mixed up with two men who were very immature regardless of their actual age, anyway.

For the famous detective, since the anomaly has been discovered, today's goal has been achieved, so don't worry about him for the time being.

Well, it's time to go home.

He doesn't like childish cotton candy either, but it seems that he spent all the man's money to buy it, so it doesn't seem good to lose it.

It is impossible to stay more.Amusement parks are places full of people, where the unstoppable inner voice can make his head ache. It is definitely not his favorite place, and he is willing to stay even a second longer...

"Yeah, it's all here, I want to sit there."

Saiki Kusuo: "?!"

Never thought.

The thinking of adults is deflected in the direction of childishness, and it is gone forever.

Saitama raised his hand: "I want to watch the fireworks. If you sit on it, you should be able to see it clearly, right?"

Before the terrified expression that appeared on the face of the superpower boy had time to dissipate, someone who should have fiercely opposed looked at it, raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "It's quite tall, it's okay."

Saiki Kusuo: "!"

——I don’t know where to start complaining.

Yes, he actually got stuck because there were too many slots and he didn't know where to start.

"When you arrive at the amusement park, do you have to go to the Ferris wheel and so on? Isn't that exclusive for couples? Why do you have three people of the same sex of different ages together? Don't you think there's anything wrong with you two? And why are you the one who should object the most? Suddenly there is no objection, do you like to go wherever you are tall?"

……call.

In the end, I still couldn't help it, and finished complaining in one go.

But the effect is not very good.

The two adult men whose mental age had dropped sharply ignored the opinions of Saiki Kusuo, a pure and unadulterated minor, and wanted to sit on the Ferris wheel to visit.

Saiki Kusuo could have gone by himself.

But this integrated collective atmosphere was too weird and too viscous, so that it stuck to his footsteps and made him follow uncontrollably.

After rambling on for so long, night has fallen, and the sky is full of stars.

It is said that the fireworks show that will be held at night has not yet started. In terms of effect, they lined up to sit on the Ferris wheel a little earlier.

Several people got into the small narrow box together, hung on the side of the huge wheel, and turned slowly until their own section was on the place closest to the sky, looking down at the ground through the glass—for those who don’t need It is still too boring for someone who can overlook the earth with such trouble.

Eric didn't admit that he was a little curious about the huge wheels when he was watching from the roof outside, so he agreed to get inside.

The actual experience was not good.

Therefore, the boy quickly lost interest. Instead of looking at the window, he might as well look at his friends and kid who have changed their appearance.

"Hey Eric, wait a minute, have you only noticed that my appearance has changed?"

Saitama asked.

"Yeah, isn't this normal!"

Eric was confident.

He began to carefully look at his best friend who felt like he had changed after he had hair: "Is it the trick played by Kid Qi Mu? I have to say it's quite powerful, I almost didn't recognize it."

Saitama: "...I'm sorry, I looked like this before I became stronger. I used to be very ordinary and inconspicuous, yes, it's different from you."

The hero fell into unconcealable melancholy, and Saiki Kusuo remained expressionless.

In fact, the superpower is just trying to save trouble, directly projecting the appearance of himself imagined by Saitama, without adding extra oil and vinegar.Who would have thought that this form is really suitable for camouflage.

"I don't agree."

"What's wrong."

"No, boy Qimu! You can also change Eric back to his previous appearance. If you don't see it with your own eyes and compare it, I can't give up!"

Eric: "Huh???"

Qimu Nanxiong: "..."

It started, it started again.

No one cares about the still-climbing carriage, Saitama is really unwilling—or curiosity is the majority, insisting on seeing what the adult Eric looks like.

"No, I can't get into his mind, and I can't hear his inner voice, and I can't simulate it even if I want to."

"It's okay, it's okay, let Eric describe it himself."

"...Before making your own claims, at least ask for my own opinion!"

Eric also obeyed the sudden whim of his friend.

Of course he knew what he really looked like, he had seen it in a dream, and he was even a little annoyed by "him" in that posture.

But even though he was a little bit repulsed by his friend's wish, he was not too stubborn to agree to it, and in the end he let go.

"……Fine."

Relying on verbal descriptions, Eric gave Saiki Kusuo a general description of "myself".Anyway, there is no big difference from him now, it is easy to imagine.

then.

"First of all, what I simulated may not be exactly the same, just make do with it and look at it casually, that's it—"

Saiki Kusuo hesitated slightly, and then used his super power.

"Okay!"

Saitama clenched his fists expectantly and opened his eyes wide with excitement.

Subsequently.

"You are……"

"—Eric?"
