[Conan] I really have a backstage

Riho opened the door, and a huge Pikachu stood in front of the door, holding a small Pikachu in his hand.

"...Through?" Riho called out tentatively.

Then the giant Pikachu moved, put the little Pikachu in Riho's hand, and began to stretch his arms to pull out the hood.It's a pity that the design of this suit is not reasonable, the sleeves are a bit short, making it difficult for the hands of the person inside to reach the headgear.

Riho watched it pull out with difficulty for a while, and finally put little Pikachu aside, and helped it pull off the hood with a suppressed smile.

The yellow Pikachu headgear was taken off, revealing a furry head with black skin and blond hair, struggling to breathe the fresh air.

"Huh... my dear princess, now you see the gift from Pikachu, are you happy?"

"What are you doing..." Riho didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and called Amuro into the room, "I've been worried about you all day and night, are you apologizing to me, Mr. Pikachu Knight."

"Hahahaha, compensation is more reasonable than apology." Toru Amuro was wearing a Pikachu suit, with his hands on his hips looking very cute, "It wasn't because of an accident yesterday that I lost the Pikachu I caught for you. Hey, today it's gone again. came back."

Hearing what Toru Amuro said, Riho remembered.Because of the emergency evacuation last night, her Pikachu was squeezed out in the panic. Because of the seat restrictions and dim lights, she couldn't find the Pikachu and had to give up.

I thought it was just lost... Riho looked at this Amuro Pikachu Toru and little Pikachu, and the original worries and anxieties in his heart were diluted a lot at once.

I have to admit that Toru Amuro is still as comforting as ever.

"You..." Riho laughed, and sat on the sofa with Pikachu in his arms, "It's a good thing you came back safely. How is the situation?"

Toru Amuro also took off his Pikachu suit and sat on the sofa together, "It's not optimistic. Belmode has discovered your appearance."

"then you?"

"I followed what you told me—you are Kaedoriin Aki's younger sister. You were separated from her when you were young and lived in an orphanage in Germany. After learning about Kaedoriin Aki this year, you came back to Japan and wanted to see her. The country where my sister lived since childhood."

"How does Belmode respond?"

"I don't think she believes it too much, but I have her handle in my hand, and I know the person she cherishes, and your identity is perfect, so she will turn a blind eye."

Riho breathed a sigh of relief. Although he should be more cautious, it was much better than the original result.

When she was in the organization before, she actually felt that Belmode was a somewhat strange existence.Ordinary people may not notice it, but she is born with some talent in seeing people - Belmode is different from people like Gin.

When Toru Amuro told her about Morilan and Belmode, she knew her instincts were confirmed.

"If she wasn't part of the organization, I kind of want to be friends with her."

Toru Amuro laughed out loud, "But she probably doesn't want to be your friend—unless it's a year-end friendship."

"...It actually makes sense."

After dinner, Riho sat on the sofa with the washed fruit and watched TV, while Toru Amuro was washing dishes in the kitchen.Riho felt that if every day was like this, she would wake up laughing if she really slept.

Squeezing another grape into her mouth, she threw the grape skins into the trash can, and while chewing the pulp, she turned her eyes to the kitchen. Under the warm yellow light, Amuro's back seemed surprisingly stable.

"Through?" She called out unconsciously.

"what happened?"

"Hmm... do you want some grapes?"

"Wait until I finish washing the dishes."

Toru Amuro didn't look back throughout the conversation, Riho rolled his eyes and walked towards Toru Amuro holding a grape.

She didn't make no noise on purpose, she just habitually stepped on the tiles with her bare feet without slippers.However, Toru Amuro seemed to be able to react when she got closer, he turned around reflexively, and in the next second he had already held Riho's wrist.

And because of this sudden movement, Riho raised his bowed legs reflexively, and almost kicked Toru Amuro's waist.

Both of them probably realized that it was the other party, so they didn't continue their movements, and the two stopped in a strange posture.

The running water from the faucet "squeaked", and the foam from the detergent still stuck to Toru Amuro's hands, and even rubbed against Riho's wrist.

"...I'll give you a grape."

"..."

Toru Amuro laughed out loud, let go of Riho's wrist, and opened his mouth to eat the grape in her hand.

In his opinion, Riho's fingers are beautiful, but the fingertips are still a little cold.

Riho felt the soft and warm touch slide over her fingertips, she flinched and her heart beat faster.

#Obviously just eat a grape, okay#

Riho withdrew her hand, feeling that the atmosphere was inexplicably strange, so she immediately pointed to the bowl in the sink, then patted Amuro Toru on the shoulder, and spoke.

"Good job! It's pretty clean, keep going, boy!"

Amuro, a 29-year-old boy, Toru: "...as ordered."

Seeing Riho leave with a satisfied expression after the leader's inspection, the boy savored the taste of grapes in his mouth, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"Well, it's pretty sweet."

Riho returned to the sofa and hugged Pikachu and nestled there. She felt her face was a little hot, and the culprit of this phenomenon was the dishwasher in the kitchen!

Not seeing each other for three years, he has become even more delicious... Ah no, mature, mature.

Riho originally thought that three years would be enough to kill her heart palpitations back then, but she found that this feeling was not water, but sand, and the water was filtered out in three years, and her feelings became more and more deposited.

Then they met.

Riho's eyes drifted quietly to the back in the kitchen again, she was still holding the Pikachu brought by Amuro Toru in her arms, chewing the grapes Amuro Toru bought in her mouth, everything was beautiful but unreal.

She swallowed the pulp and muttered in a low voice: "It would be great if I could go on like this forever."
