[Conan/Through Her] Fairy's Indus

I like good people.

There is a comic in my memory with many characters.

Among them, I like all the characters who belong to the justice camp.

I have always been attracted by their qualities such as gentleness and kindness, and I can't help myself.

In fact, I like every one of them.

So at this moment, I stood at the entrance of Miyano's house, so nervous that I held my breath.

Standing in front of me was a beautiful girl with brown ear-length curly hair.

She was about the same age as me and slightly taller than me. She had her hands in her pockets, her delicate and beautiful face was expressionless, and her slightly upward ice-blue eyes were looking straight at me.

The sense of oppression and distance she exuded from the inside came straight to my face.

And my desire to be friends with her was extremely strong.

"Are you my sister's guest?" she said softly.

"Yes! Hello, this is the first time we meet. My name is Ruri Amuro. Just call me Ruri. I'm sorry to bother you..." I bowed stiffly and tremblingly raised the delicate and beautiful paper bag in my hand. " Well, these are the cookies I baked myself... Do you want to try them..."

"Hello, Amuro. My name is Miyano Shiho." She lowered her eyes and did not respond to my invitation. She turned around and opened the shoe cabinet on the side. "You come in first. My sister went to the convenience store downstairs. She should be there soon. Will be back."

I stiffly put on the slippers she handed me and followed timidly: "Then...Miyano..."

"how?"

"I..." I paused and lowered my voice, "...forget it, it's okay..."

I said "Can I call you Shiho" stuck in my throat, and I was suddenly afraid that she would think I was rude, so I didn't dare to say it.

She glanced at me: "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so reserved? Are you afraid of me?"

"No, no." I hurriedly denied, smiling dryly and scratching my head, "I'm just, that's what, a little nervous..."

She guided me to sit down on the sofa in the living room, stood in front of me and calmly pushed the broken hair on her cheeks behind her ears: "Anyway, my sister must be troublesome, so I asked you to be friends with me, right? You Don’t force yourself, if you want to leave, just leave.”

"What? - No, you misunderstood Sister Mingmei." I opened my eyes wide and grabbed her sleeves eagerly, "I took the initiative to tell your sister that I wanted to be friends with you! Biscuits, too, are baked. Here’s something to eat for you…”

She looked at me in surprise, and then her eyes fell on my hand holding her sleeve.

I let go quickly as if I was electrocuted: "Ahhh! I'm sorry!"

"...It's okay." Her surprise only lasted a few seconds, and she quickly returned to her calm look. "What do you drink? Black tea, coffee, orange juice or milk?"

I replied calmly: "Then, milk..."

Her palms were upward, and her white and tender little hands stretched out towards me.

I reached out my right hand in confusion and placed it on her left hand that was stretched out to me.

She was visibly stunned for a moment.

Me: "Eh?"

"Biscuits." She cleared her throat, "Didn't you tell me to give it to you?"

"...!!! Ahhhh yes! Sorry!!" I pulled my paw back at the speed of light again, put the small paper bag into her hand with shaking hands, and wanted to cry without tears.

She unexpectedly chuckled: "Weird guy."

I was dumbfounded.

As expected of Xiao Ai!Her smile is so warm and cute!

She carried the biscuit bag and walked to the kitchen: "Wait a moment, I will heat up some milk for you."

I jumped up from the sofa: "I'm here to help!"

"How can I ask the guests to help?" She turned back and glanced at me, "You sit down."

I nailed it back again: "Yes..."

So I was sitting stiffly on the sofa in the living room, listening uneasily to the noises coming from the kitchen from time to time.The moment Mingmei opened the door and walked in, I seemed to see an angel who came to earth to save mortals.

"Oh, Ruri-chan has arrived? Is Shiho in the kitchen?" She walked over to me and sat down next to me, touching my head affectionately. "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't expect you to come so early. I was thinking about you today. If you want to play, go downstairs to buy snacks."

"It doesn't matter..." I covered my face weakly, "Sister Mingmei's sister is so cute..."

She lowered her voice: "You don't have to force yourself, Ruri-chan. That kid Shiho is hard to get along with, right?"

"I'm not embarrassing my sister's guests." Xiao Ai walked out with the dinner plate and placed three cups of hot drinks and a small plate full of cookies on the coffee table.

It's the bag of cookies I just handed her.

After she sat down, she picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

I looked at her nervously.

"Well. It's not bad." She commented lukewarmly.

To be honest, this evaluation was higher than I expected. I breathed a sigh of relief and laughed sincerely: "It's so good that it suits your taste!"

"What, did you make these biscuits yourself, Ruri?" Seeing me nodding, Mingmei also took a piece to taste, and then her eyes widened in surprise, "It's delicious! Ruri, you're so awesome. Is this chocolate-flavored?"

"Yeah! I like chocolate!" I answered her happily. Xiao Ai finished her coffee in two gulps and stood up: "Then you guys chat, I'll go back to the room first."

"Eh! That...!" I don't know why I was so nervous facing this girl who was about my age. I looked at her eagerly, and after a while I managed to say, "Are you busy with something?"

She stared at me condescendingly for a moment, sighed, raised her hand and touched my head: "Amuro, thank you for the cookies, but let me tell you the truth - I'm sorry, I don't need friends."

Mingmei probably wanted to say something, but I had already stood up impulsively: "But I want to become friends with you, Shiho-chan!"

Ah... In the end, I was still abrupt.

"Why?" She didn't mind my rudeness, but just looked at me doubtfully, "We just met, right? You don't seem to be in need of friends."

"No, your logic is wrong! It's not that I want to be friends with you because I lack friends! It's that I want to be friends with you because I want to be friends with you... Huh?" I covered my face in collapse, "I What are you talking about...a tongue twister..."

The Miyano sisters couldn't help laughing.

"Anyway, cough." Xiao Ai struggled to stop her laughter and tried to be serious, "Anyway, Amuro, I understand what you mean, and I am very grateful for your love, but I really don't need friends. "

She took a deep breath, and the smile on her face was completely gone.She lowered her head and spoke in a very soft voice: "Don't come near us again. It's best if you don't get involved with us."

Mingmei looked at her with complicated eyes: "Shiho..."

I froze on the spot and clenched my fists unconsciously.

It turns out that it’s not that she doesn’t need friends, it’s that she can’t have them.

I wanted to refute, and wanted to say that my words were okay, but suddenly I realized... what she said was right.

Regardless of whether I am what they think is an ordinary junior high school girl, or I am actually Bourbon's adopted daughter in the organization, I really shouldn't have anything to do with these sisters at this time.

They will rebel in the future, and if I develop friendship with them and accidentally let the organization know about my existence, when something happens to them in the future, Toru Amuro will definitely be suspected by the organization.

...Why am I just now figuring out this level of so simple a thing?

I shouldn't have come.

I overstepped.It's because I'm too arrogant.I thought too little.

I'm a huge idiot.

"I know... I'm sorry..." I said sadly, "Then... I'm going back."

Xiao Ai sent me to the door.

"Thank you for the cookies, they are delicious." She looked at me with gentle eyes, but I could read her unfinished words from her eyes.

——But don’t come here again.

I looked at her guiltily.

I originally thought that I could accompany her to grow up alone, but not everything would be satisfactory.

The most important person to me is Toru Amuro after all.

I took two steps forward and hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry." I said solemnly.

For being so immature and trying to reach for her hand.

She didn't push me away or hug me back, she just sighed: "You're really weird. I'm the one who pushed him away, so I'm the one who should apologize."

What a good girl she is...

"My words don't matter, please don't take it to heart." I put my arms on her shoulders and stared at her beautiful eyebrows seriously, "As long as you don't hate me, I will wait for you, wait until the situation changes, wait until you can have friends. That day, I will wait for you there - as long as you don't hate me, I will bake more delicious cookies for you when we meet again."

She lowered her eyes and murmured softly: "But, will that day really happen?"

"Definitely!" I answered her affirmatively, "The ending of the story is always good. If it is not good yet, it must not be the end yet!"

She was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled lightly and gently: "Then next time, I want to eat blueberry-flavored baked cookies."

"Yeah! No problem! We've made an appointment!"

As expected of Xiao Ai, her smile is really warm and cute.

I wandered aimlessly outside until the sun set, and then I turned back home.

The moment I opened the door to my home, I was greeted by bright lights and the aroma of creamy soup. Toru Amuro, wearing home clothes and an apron, poked her head out of the kitchen and smiled brightly at me who was standing in the entrance in a daze: "Welcome. Go home and dinner will be ready in about 10 minutes."

I had spent most of the day recovering from my low mood, but the scene in front of me seemed to have brought all my efforts back to the starting point... I wanted to cry again.

I took a deep breath, rubbed my face and put on a smile, took off my shoes and coat and ran to the kitchen: "It smells so good! I'm here to help!"

Toru Amuro smiled and touched my head, who was leaning next to him to smell the soup. He looked in a good mood and said, "No need to help. It's already the final stage. Now just watch the fire."

"Wow, it looks delicious!" I looked at him excitedly, "Speaking of which, dad came back very early today! You have been going home more often recently. Are you not so busy?"

"Have you noticed?" He curled his lips and stirred the fragrant cream soup. "Now that Jing and I have received code names, we don't have to do those inconsequential and troublesome logistical tasks that the miscellaneous fish are responsible for. It's a relief. It’s time for the rookie observation period. The organization’s surveillance has also stopped, so I can go home more often.”

"That's great! But, you can't let down your guard even if you get the code name!"

"Don't worry." He scooped up a spoonful of soup, poured it into a small bowl, tasted it, and asked lightly, "So, what happened? Why are you in a bad mood?"

"..."

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

I stopped smiling and covered my face in frustration: "...No, my acting skills are so bad..."

"I'm your father." He turned off the fire and turned to look at me. His purple-gray drooping eyes were full of helplessness and loneliness. "I noticed it when I saw you just now, and I was wondering if you would Take the initiative to tell me...ah, it really won't happen."

... I suspect he's fouling.

"...I know, I'm sorry, that's all I said."

While drinking the creamy soup, I briefly recounted to him what happened that day when I met Akai and Mingmei, and what happened today when I tried to make friends with Xiao Ai but failed.

"I see," Toru Amuro blinked, "So, does my little Ruri need a comforting hug from her father?"

I didn't expect him to say that, so I looked at him blankly: "Hey, don't you blame me?"

He laughed, his eyes soft: "Why should I blame you?"

I stared blankly at his gentle smile.

By the way, he seems to have always been like this. His attitude towards me has always been tolerant and doting.

My existence is obviously his weakness, and I have so much dangerous information. It is not an exaggeration to say that if I act rashly, I will easily kill many people on the red side.

I am like a fragile bomb. How can I be so virtuous and capable that I can be protected by him?

"...Need." I whispered, taking the initiative to move towards him.

He hugged me, patted my back, and said softly, "Good boy, good boy."

"——I'm not a child anymore." I emphasized sullenly, burying myself in his arms.

He laughed again.

"Yes, daddy knows. So good, so good."

I like good people, and there are many, many people I like.

I like Toru Amuro...he is the first in my heart.
