Are Jinpei Matsuda and Kagemitsu Morofushi still awake now?

Jiang Lai thought silently in his heart.

As souls, unlike living people, they do not need to sleep, eat, or other necessary processes for ordinary people.

You can choose to sleep, but not sleeping will not have any impact.

However, because it was really difficult to kill time, when night came, Morobushi Kagemitsu and Matsuda Jinpei would usually fall asleep, spending this time with their eyes closed.

I don’t know if they are asleep at this moment... But if there is another soul present, it might be easier to judge the condition of Kurosawa Akira.

At least it’s good to have more companions!

Jiang Lai, who had just finished reading the comic, was a little nervous at the moment.

"..." The silver-haired boy in front of him still had his head down. "I had a nightmare." He said in a low voice.

His fringe of bangs covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his eyes.

"Eh?" Jiang Lai was startled when he heard that, then tilted his head, "Are you scared by the nightmare? Where's Matsuda? Didn't he say he would accompany you tonight?"

"...He went to sleep." Kurosawa Akira said in a muffled voice, "And I don't want him to accompany me."

"..." Jiang Lai smiled, "So you came to find me? Don't be afraid, dreams are fake." He said comfortingly.

If the speculation on the forum and the comics are correct, I should observe the color of Kurosawa Akira's eyes at this moment, Jiang Lai thought. To judge his condition from this.

But logically speaking...his second personality shouldn't come out normally. So is his first personality normal now?

The silver-haired boy in front of me took a step forward and whispered, "Can I come in?"

"..." Jiang Lai paused for only a second, then stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, "Come on." He smiled and opened his arms.

Kurosawa Akira stepped barefoot on the floor and took small steps forward. He raised his head, and in the moonlight coming through the window, his dark green eyes were still clear.

This also made Jiang Lai feel relieved.

"Wear slippers next time. The floor is cold." He naturally hugged Kurosawa Akira who came over to him. "What did you dream about?"

"...Well," the other party said gloomily, "I dreamed of people whose faces I couldn't see clearly. They surrounded me and the injection was very painful. There were also very chaotic scenes, with adults falling down and blood. Many people left me."

Jiang Lai patted him on the back and took heart, keeping these scattered and confusing information in mind.

...Is it something that happened in the organization? The memories of the second personality?

"It doesn't matter. Dreams are fake."

"...I always seem to have trouble remembering a lot of things from the past. I have some impressions, but they are very vague." Kurosawa Akira put his face close to Jiang Lai and said in a muffled voice, "Even the guardian, I can't remember his name or appearance."

You mean that weird neighbor, the guy who registered Kurosawa Akira under his own name. Jiang Lai patted the silver-haired boy again: "It's okay, don't think about it."

Kurosawa Akira paused for a few seconds, raised his eyes, and blinked gently: "Also... I think my father or mother... my intuition tells me it should be my father, he seems to be a bad person."

These definitions of good people and bad people are naturally the standards of ordinary first-grade elementary school students, clear and unambiguous.

Jiang Lai: “……!” Has anyone told him about Gin? !

He was shocked, but he didn't show it on the surface. He just asked, "Why do you think so?"

"I don't know who he is, but... I feel that many people's first reaction to seeing me is not very good." Kurosawa Akira bit his thumb nail and glanced at Jiang Lai, "... you and Brother Jingguang are both like that."

——A very sensitive child.

Jiang Lai was silent for a few seconds, then replied: "Maybe."

Kurosawa Aki lowered his head slightly, his fingertips pinching the corner of his clothes.

"But..." Jiang Lai rubbed his head, "This has nothing to do with you."

"Um?"

"Who your parents are, what your background is, these have nothing to do with you." Jiang Lai tapped his forehead with his index finger, "You are just Kurosawa Akira, a kid under my name, a first-grade student at Teitan Elementary School."

Jiang Lai looked at the silver-haired boy in front of him seriously: "Even if your father is a heinous criminal, it will not affect your becoming a hero who saves the world - because this is your business."

Kurosawa Akira looked up: "...Can I?"

"Of course you can. Although you may face criticism from others and other obstacles, you can do it." Jiang Lai smiled, "As long as you want to and work hard."

"..." The silver-haired boy blinked his bright eyes, "Then...will you stay with me? Wait until I become a great hero?"

"Yes, I will." Jiang Lai replied with a smile, "I will grow up with you. Don't worry."

"Then, I will definitely protect you too." Kurosawa Akira grabbed the corner of Jiang Lai's clothes with his fingers and said softly.

"Haha, okay."

Kurosawa Akira seemed to be much more relaxed at this moment. He tilted his head and said, "Let's play hook and hook."

"Okay." Jiang Lai followed his lead and held out his little finger. "Pull the hook, and don't change it for a hundred years."

The moonlight outside the window shone on the boy's profile, bringing a faint but bright vitality. Shadows stepped on his feet, and the dark green in his eyes still flashed.

Since that time, Jiang Lai and Morobushi Kagemitsu never noticed that Kurosawa Akira was in an abnormal state again. He was still the same as before, with the personality of an ordinary child.

The comics have also returned to their everyday character appearance.

...I just feel sorry for Conan. After seeing the other side of Kurosawa Akira, he has to go through new psychological ups and downs. He once again raised 100% vigilance and precautions against Kurosawa Akira.

However, Kurosawa Akira still acted as if he knew nothing and continued to use his enthusiasm to melt the ice. The more Conan dodged, the more Kurosawa Akira came forward to play with him.

A strange picture suddenly appeared in Jiang Lai's mind:

He just dodged, he chased, he hid, he chased, ran, chased - hey ~ just for fun ~

Conan(Cat going crazy.jpg): This guy couldn’t have done this on purpose!

——Can you please let me go?

Jiang Lai: “…” That’s too bad, Conan!

After a period of time, through the joint observation and new adaptation of Haibara Ai and Conan, they finally discovered some problems with Kurosawa Akira and began to speculate in the direction of dual personality.

Jiang Lai: Congratulations.jpg

Carrying bags of daily necessities, Jiang Lai walked up the stairs while listening to Kurosawa Akira talking excitedly about the holiday next week.

The consequence of being distracted was that he stepped on empty air and Jiang Lai fell forward uncontrollably!

Kurosawa Akira's eyes widened, but his short hands were unable to support Jiang Lai.

——Then the body leaning forward was grabbed by a strong arm.

"Be careful, Xiao Jianglai~"

The man with semi-long hair helped him up and said with a smile.

Almost facing the ground!

Jiang Lai was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He exhaled, "Thank you, Officer Hagiwara." He looked at him, "Are you off duty?"

"That's right." Hagiwara Kenji stood up straight. His ordinary uniform gave him a different temperament. He waved his hands casually. "I don't have anything to do today, so I'll get off work early."

He looked down at Kurosawa Akira and said, "I was walking behind you just now and heard you two chatting - are you going to have a day off next week?"

"Yes, it's a three-day holiday." Kurosawa Akira looked up and smiled faintly, "Brother Jiang Lai is also on vacation."

Jiang Lai: "...I am their daily leisure state in the final quarter of junior high school."

"Oh, come to think of it, I still want to thank you for what happened last time." Hagiwara Kenji took out a flyer from his bag. "Since it happens to be a holiday, how about inviting you to this cruise?" There was a smile in his droopy eyes.

"Huh?" Jiang Lai was slightly stunned.

Kurosawa Akira had already spotted the words and pictures on the flyer: "Is it the 'Starry Sky'? I heard from Kuroko last time that this one seems to be great!"

"There is indeed a large children's area upstairs, which is very suitable for children." Hagiwara Kenji bent down and looked at Kurosawa Akira, "Do you want to go play?"

"Hmm..." Kurosawa Akira didn't rush to reply, and turned his dark green eyes to Jiang Lai.

"If Xiao Zhao wants to go, we can go and play." Jiang Lai said with a smile, "You can also call your friends - Kuroko and Natsume."

"Oh~ great!" The silver-haired boy looked very happy.

"Thank you, Officer Hagiwara, but I'll pay for the boat ticket myself." Jiang Lai looked at the person in front of him.

"It's a treat, so it is." Hagiwara Kenji put his arm on Jiang Lai's shoulder very naturally, "Little Jiang Lai, just go and have fun."

"But maybe we need to call a few more kids..."

"It's okay. Children are free." Hagiwara Kenji waved his hand. "This is a consistent feature of the Starry Sky."

"That's good!" Jiang Lai didn't refuse after hearing that and nodded to accept it. "Thank you, Officer Hagiwara~" he said with a smile.

"Well," Hagiwara Kenji turned his head, his slightly long hair hanging down, "see you next week, Xiao Jianglai." He raised his eyebrows.

Therefore, the team for this outing is Jiang Lai, Kurosawa Akira, Natsume, Kuroko, and the soul body of Matsuda Jinpei.

Zhu Fu Jingguang has been out a lot recently, and he spends most of his time wandering outside. I don't know what he is doing. Seeing that he has no intention of saying anything for the time being, Jiang Lai politely did not ask.

It was a rare opportunity for Kurosawa Akira to go to such a place with his friends, so as a first-grader, he was naturally excited. He dragged Natsume and Kuroko to the boat to play.

After Jiang Lai showed the boat tickets below, he only had time to shout "Be careful!" and then the teenagers disappeared in front of him.

However, the spirit body of Matsuda Jinpei was still waiting for him on the side.

"Well, Hagi actually asked you out to play." Matsuda Jinpei floated to Jiang Lai's side, "What a surprise."

"We live on the same floor as each other, so why not?" Jiang Lai was carrying his things and followed the crowd to get on the boat, "and I'm so good."

Facing Matsuda Jinpei, Jiang Lai intends to make the same unabashed mockery as he does, using magic to defeat magic!

"Well... maybe it's because, although Hagi is usually very easy to get along with, it's still very rare for him to invite someone he doesn't know very well to go out alone." Matsuda Jinpei touched his chin, "Oh, except for ladies."

"...Don't make your childhood friend sound like a scumbag!"

"What? It's because of politeness." Matsuda Jinpei's eyes were half-mooned. "Hagi is always popular with young women, so if someone asks him out with great expectations, he won't refuse. But he will be very careful to take care of the other person and keep a proper distance."

"Oh, yeah, that sounds good."

Matsuda Jinpei floated to the other side: "Ah, I remember! There is another situation where he will take the initiative to ask someone out - that is, when facing a potential criminal suspect, he will ask to go out alone to test it out."

"...Hmm!?" Jiang Lai paused.

"So, you haven't done anything wrong recently?"

Matsuda Jinpei suddenly came close, and Jiang Lai was so scared that he almost missed a step.

"...I'm a law-abiding citizen!" Jiang Lai waved his hands with dead eyes, "This time he said it was to thank you, that's all."

——If Jinpei Matsuda continues talking, we won’t be able to enjoy this trip at all!

"Haha, just kidding." Matsuda Jinpei said with his usual cool demeanor as he floated to the deck in advance, "Hurry up and get on board."

Jiang Lai was carrying his luggage, with Matsuda Jinpei's words just now still echoing in his mind.

Testing and observing?

Jiang Lai suddenly thought of the teacher Kana whom he had created, who was a survival image simulated based on Jinpei Matsuda.

Although I don’t know whether Hagiwara actually believed it or not…

Is that why?

The author has something to say:
