Chapter 34: President Fukuzawa being lifted high, then pinching President Fukuzawa's cheek...

I was completely stunned when Fukuzawa-sensei suddenly transformed from an adult into a tiny child! Why did Fukuzawa-sensei shrink like Shinichi Kudo? Wasn't Shiho Miyano still developing APTX4869 at this point?

Oh! That's right! APTX4869 was developed by Shiho Miyano, inheriting her parents' scientific research achievements. In other words, this so-called achievement should be the drug that Fukuzawa-sensei is currently taking, because the two drugs have certain similarities in their properties, which is why the teacher happened to encounter an extremely small probability of regressing from an adult to a child.

Now transformed into a child and completely enveloped in a large kimono, Mr. Fukuzawa was equally stunned. The change in his body filled his childish face with shock. He subconsciously looked down at his hands, and when he discovered they were a pair of delicate, white hands without even calluses, his round, adorable eyes filled with disbelief.

Mr. Fukuzawa immediately shut up as soon as he opened his mouth, because his voice was no longer the authoritative, mature male voice he used to have, but rather the innocent voice of a young child.

My biggest worry right now is Professor Fukuzawa's health. Filled with anxiety, I asked, "Professor! How are you feeling? Where do you feel unwell?!"

Because the medicine that Fukuzawa-sensei and Kudo Shinichi took was actually different, I was really afraid that besides shrinking, there would be other side effects.

"...I don't feel any discomfort anywhere in my body." Fukuzawa-sensei replied, assessing her physical condition. However, I was still very worried, fearing that there might be residual poison lurking in her body that could take effect at any time. I immediately said solemnly, "Sensei, I need to examine your body. Excuse me."

I placed my chakra-filled palm on Fukuzawa-sensei's body and carefully examined his internal condition. I found that his internal organs and bodily functions were all normal, and no toxins were found, which was consistent with the information that Shuichi Akai had investigated and found no drugs.

It now appears that the drug transforms into a harmless substance after its toxicity takes effect in the human body, so there is no need to worry about any toxic residue.

I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the teacher was not in any danger, and then gave a general account of the Black Organization that developed this dangerous drug and the indiscriminate revenge of Tamura Kota.

After hearing my information, Fukuzawa-sensei unconsciously furrowed his brows, his chubby little face showing an unusually serious expression.

However, he was in the appearance of a young child at the time, and his serious expression gave people a cute contrast, making my hands itching to pinch Fukuzawa-sensei's adorable chubby cheeks.

Fortunately, I managed to suppress this rebellious thought and solemnly assured him, "Teacher, please rest assured, my laboratory has the necessary equipment and will definitely develop a medicine to help you recover as soon as possible."

Fukuzawa-sensei's solemn expression softened slightly, and she nodded gently. "Then I'll leave it to you. I bear the mission of protecting Yokohama, and I cannot appear so weak!"

Then, remembering that she couldn't let anyone know about her transformation, the teacher decisively said, "Go home immediately! No one can find out that I've shrunk!"

After saying that, Fukuzawa-sensei wanted to leave, but forgot that the cumbersome kimono she wore after shrinking was piled on the ground. As soon as she took a step, she stepped on the hem of her own kimono and fell flat on her face. The scene was simply unbearable to watch.

"I'm sorry, teacher, it's all my fault for forgetting to remind you." I quickly helped the young teacher up. Seeing that he was wrapped in such cumbersome clothes and it was difficult for him to walk, I suggested, "Teacher, please allow me to carry you back. This way, we can avoid being caught on camera."

Mr. Fukuzawa, who was already somewhat withdrawn after falling flat on his face, was now expressionless. He clearly didn't want me to carry him home; it was too humiliating. However, he also knew that this was the best option at the moment, and finally said, "Thank you for your help."

With Fukuzawa-sensei's permission, I immediately and happily picked up the silver-haired boy in front of me, who looked only six or seven years old and was completely wrapped in a large kimono. Then I jumped onto the roof and began to scale the walls, eventually successfully avoiding the street cameras and entering the Fukuzawa residence.

It was getting dark, and Yoriichi and Ranpo were both at home.

When I put down the child-like Fukuzawa-sensei, Ranpo's usually upturned eyes widened and he froze, while Yoriichi, who rarely showed his emotions, showed a rare look of surprise, which made me feel a little depressed.

I don't react much to Yoriichi whether I transform into my human form or a cat, so why does Fukuzawa-sensei react so strongly? Isn't that incredibly biased? Is he still my little angel?

"The teacher has become a real child!"

Yoriichi murmured, seemingly using the Transparent World, which made me understand why he treated me differently. His eyes could see that my transformation was fake, while Fukuzawa-sensei's change was genuine.

Even though Fukuzawa-sensei had transformed into an adorable silver-haired boy, he still tried his best to maintain a composed demeanor as he eagerly got off me. He looked at his eldest disciple and said calmly, "Yoriichi, get me one of your clothes."

"Yes, teacher." Yoriichi obediently went to get the clothes, while Ranpo, having already realized what was happening, immediately picked up Fukuzawa-sensei, prompting me to instinctively shout, "Let go of the teacher!"

"No way! I've already hugged the president, I want to hug him too!"

Ranpo spoke childishly, and then enthusiastically began to lift Ranpo up high. Fukuzawa-sensei, who was being lifted up, looked at the mischievous child in front of him expressionlessly, probably already imagining at least fifty ways to throw Ranpo out.

Fortunately, the teacher was always good at maintaining his composure. Even when treated disrespectfully by the naughty child, he wouldn't actually put his thoughts into action. He just silently looked at Ranpo, who was being a bit too mischievous, and issued an ultimatum: "Ranpo, I'm getting angry."

Ranpo, who was obsessed with the president, immediately put down Fukuzawa-sensei and then complained, "The president is really something, he actually got himself into this state just to protect the song."

“I would have protected him too if it were Ranpo,” said Fukuzawa-sensei under the moonlight, which immediately made Ranpo smile happily with his eyes crinkling.

At this moment, Yoriichi brought over one of his own clothes. His clothes were all kimonos, which were quite suitable for a teacher who liked traditional clothing.

Fukuzawa-sensei went to the next room to change clothes. Ranpo and I sat patiently in a row, seemingly well-behaved, but in reality, there were undercurrents.

I was the first to speak, and I told Yoriichi about Ranpo's crimes without reservation.

"Yoriichi, Ranpo just went too far, and he actually picked up the teacher and lifted him up high! That's even worse than wiping your mouth with the teacher's sleeve!"

Ranpo puffed out his cheeks accusingly and said, "It was Uta who hugged the president first!"

"I was given permission to hug the teacher, unlike you who dared to reach out to the teacher without permission! Teacher Fukuzawa may look like a child on the outside, but he is still an adult on the inside. You are not allowed to disrespect the teacher!"

"Hmph, mind your own business. Who was secretly thinking about pinching the club president's face? You're the one who's being the most disrespectful!"

Ranpo's words revealed my inner thoughts, causing my expression to change. I had no choice but to admit it, because Ranpo's reasoning was 100% accurate, and he wouldn't stoop to lying in such a situation.

Afraid that Ranpo would tell Fukuzawa-sensei about his outrageous idea, I immediately decided to make him an accomplice. I leaned closer and whispered seductively, like a devil, "Fukuzawa-sensei's chubby cheeks must be super soft and bouncy. Don't you want to pinch them?"

"I want to!" Ranpo took the bait without any struggle, and I said with a sigh of relief, "Since you think so too, you're not allowed to tell the teacher later, or I'll expose you. Be careful, Fukuzawa-sensei will be angry and won't praise you anymore."

My threat worked quite well; Ranpo snorted and we struck this "wicked" deal. "Alright, no one is allowed to tell. And! You're not allowed to pinch the president's cheek."

"How could I possibly do such a thing?!" I have the desire but not the guts! But Ranpo really had the guts to pinch it, how despicable! The teacher usually spoils him the most.

Just as I was feeling down, Yoriichi suddenly grabbed my hand and gave me a slight smile. "You can pinch my cheeks, Uta."

So touching! Yoriichi is such a sweet little angel!

Since Yoriichi was being so proactive, I naturally wouldn't waste his efforts, so I reached out and gently pinched his cheek. It felt really nice.

Ranpo saw me pinching his cheek and, unable to resist, pinched Yoriichi's cheek too, leaving a red mark on his face.

Of course I didn't want to, so I immediately went to pinch Ranpo's face to avenge Yoriichi. Although I succeeded in pinching him, Ranpo also pinched my face hard.

We were still at an impasse when Mr. Fukuzawa came out after changing his clothes.

Seeing Ranpo and me fighting, he couldn't help but show a headache. He sighed softly and told us to let go. Ranpo and I quickly sat up straight again, looking like good children. As for Fukuzawa-sensei, he took the main seat as usual.

The teacher, who looks like a child, is now wearing Yoriichi's clothes. Since he no longer has to wear those cumbersome clothes, he looks much more relaxed.

As soon as Fukuzawa-sensei sat down, he looked at me and said directly, "Song, I must recover my health as soon as possible."

"I understand, teacher!" I immediately explained and assured him, "To make the antidote, we must analyze the poison's components. I will find Tamura Kota as soon as possible and take back the drug that caused you to shrink."

"Ranpo, find that person!"

Fukuzawa-sensei gave Ranpo a direct order. Even though he was now a child, he still exuded the powerful aura of the Armed Detective Club president, which involuntarily inspired awe in everyone. He truly lived up to his reputation as a teacher!
