Chapter 63
There were still some traces of burnt wires on the kitchen floor where the dispute had just occurred. Furukawa Kumisa and Edogawa Conan walked around the depression and came to the cooking table, like two small animals waiting to be fed.
Same, squatting next to the cooking table and looking at Toru Amuro eagerly.
The male mother Toru Amuro looked at the two people with the words "to be fed" written all over their faces and sighed resignedly.
He took out an apron from the cabinet next to him and put it on.
Furukawa Kumisa volunteered to express his gratitude: "I'll help Amuro tie his belt!"
With that said, she ran behind Amuro Toru and quickly tied the belt with a big bow for him.
At the end, she peeked her head from his side to look at him and smiled at him as if to take credit: "Is the tightness appropriate?"
Toru Amuro:......
He didn't expect that it was the first time he was treated so badly by Furukawa Kumisa, and the purpose was to make him cook.
This feeling of not knowing whether I should be happy or not is too subtle...
Seeing the interaction between the two of them standing in front of the stove, Edogawa Conan pursed his lips, but this time he did not force his way between the two of them, he just opened his mouth to interrupt them.
"What do you want to do for dinner, Brother Amuro?"
Furukawa Kumisa ordered before Tohru Amuro answered: "I want to eat the sandwich made by Amuro-kun!"
Ever since she ate a sandwich from Café Poirot in the morning when she first came to this world, she has become a big fan of Toru Amuro (his cooking skills) and she still remembers him.
Now that she has finally found a chance, she will naturally get her wish.
Toru Amuro looked at her with bright eyes, unable to hide her greedy look, and couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, Furukawa Kumisa was still leaning her head next to him - she was standing behind him just now to tie his belt. After listening to his question, she poked her head from his side and got next to him.
Blinking at him.
Amuro Toru looked at those clear and bright pupils and was speechless for a moment.
When Furukawa Kumisa is not full of bad intentions and scheming, this innocent and beautiful appearance is very deceptive - Toru Amuro has known this from a long time ago.
She was smiling with a clear and bright smile, and her tone was laced with tenderness that she didn't realize she had.
This is not a polite inquiry, nor a firm order.
It was a request with a little bit of pampering and arrogance, and even the slightly raised tail tone was delicate and charming, seeming to be asking him silently: "Will you reject me?"
——Do you have the heart to reject me?
Toru Amuro heard his heart beat heavily. He had never felt so close to Furukawa Kumisa for a moment.
For the first time in so long, she finally unconsciously let go of her guard against him, and was willing to treat him as a truly close person, to act coquettishly, to demand, to speak.
He couldn't even hear her words clearly for a moment. He only knew that he would not have the heart to refuse her request at that moment.
When Toru Amuro reacted, he had already raised his arms as if he had no control over them, wanting to touch the furry head that was sticking out to his side...
There was a loud "bang" and the entire cooking table was shaken.
Toru Amuro was knocked back to his senses by the loud noise, and Furukawa Kumisa also quickly retracted his head and looked at Edogawa Conan next to him.
He was holding a plate in his hand, with fluffy thick-cut toast on it, which was knocked upside down by his rough movements.
He held the plate in his hand and raised an innocent smile to Toru Amuro next to him.
"The bread is here, An, Shi, brother, brother."
Toru Amuro:......
Seeing Toru Amuro didn't speak, Edogawa Conan pushed up his glasses, looked in his direction - he didn't know whether he was looking at Toru Amuro or Kumisa Furukawa behind him, and spoke sincerely.
"If Brother Amuro is too busy by himself, I can also help. After all, I also know how Amuro brother makes his own sandwich."
The heartless Furukawa Kumisa was indeed attracted to her attention. She poked her head out from behind Amuro Teru again: "Does Conan-kun also know how to make sandwiches?"
Edogawa Conan smiled smoothly: "Yes, Brother Amuro taught me before. If Sister Furukawa wants to eat next time, I can also..."
Furukawa Kumisa knew what he wanted to say with his fingernails, so he made a prompt decision and decisively interrupted his chanting.
"Ah, that's it. Amuro-kun, can you also teach me? - Your unique sandwich is so delicious!"
Of course Toru Amuro would not refuse. He smiled gently and calmly: "Of course, if Furukawa-san wants to learn, I will certainly not refuse."
Edogawa Conan:……
Small body, big fire.
In fact, Kudo Shinichi has been avoiding contact with Furukawa Kumisa since the afternoon - ever since he confirmed Furukawa Kumisa's identity.
It wasn't that Furukawa Kumisa was afraid of being close to home, but... he suddenly didn't know how to face her.
"She" came to life and returned to him.
At that moment, as a detective, Kudo Shinichi had for the first time the idea of being "unwilling to explore the truth" - he was no longer willing to explore why a "dead" person disappeared from everyone's memory, and why.
You will appear in front of others with a new identity.
"Her" death was like tears to him as a bystander, so what must it be like for "her" as a witness?
Faced with a serial killer, suffocation, and death, how could she have ever been so desperate?
He couldn't even imagine it.
And the initiator of all this for her was Kudo Shinichi himself.
He has been tossing and turning over this for more than a thousand days and nights.
But now she came back to life, reappeared in front of him, and said "I forgive you" to him personally.
She forgave him.
Those words should have relieved him, but after confirming the identity of "her", it became a deeper inner demon for Kudo Shinichi.
The knot that had been troubling him for many years received a light "forgiveness" from her.
Kudo Shinichi, who has been loved by people in the world for a long time, knows that such an understatement is almost filled with her attitude - not caring.
She doesn't care about her "death", who is the murderer, or who is the indirect initiator of all this.
It's not hatred and grudge, it's an understatement of not caring.
This was even more difficult for Kudo Shinichi to face than the exhausting questioning and accusations.
He couldn't be sure whether this "not caring" was just about this matter, or... it was about him, Kudo Shinichi.
There were very few things that "her" could hold in her eyes. Apart from the truth pursued by her detective nature, there was only Kudo Shinichi.
She chased the truth, chased him.
But today's Furukawa Kumisa is different. There are too many people and too many things she cares about around her.
He was no longer the only one her eyes were pointing at, and many people and things suddenly separated them.
All this left Kudo Shin at a loss.
He knew that she was still alive in this world, which should have been such an exciting thing.
But he is no longer her only one.
Kudo Shinichi suddenly realized that they had always seemed to be stranded at both ends of the ocean - when she no longer held the boat and sailed towards him through the wind and waves, there was this vast ocean between them.
.
The distance to the sea is daunting.
Over there, Furukawa Kumisa was excitedly learning how to make sandwiches with Toru Amuro. Under the guidance of Toru Amuro, she took the sandwich out of the steamer and when she was adding ingredients, she suddenly thought of something.
"Let's replace the ham with chicken breast. I just saw there are two boxes left in the refrigerator, which should be enough for us."
She cannot help but want to choose more "safer" food.
As she spoke, she also smiled at Edogawa Conan: "Conan-kun is also growing, so you can grow taller faster by eating something that increases protein."
Trying not to smile too obviously, Toru Amuro crossed Edogawa Conan to open the refrigerator door and get the chicken breast.
Edogawa Conan watched the person standing between him and Furukawa Kumisa leave, and then moved two steps in her direction. After seeing that Furukawa Kumisa didn't react, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his eyes and saw Furukawa Kumisa concentrating on slicing the bread, and said softly: "Sister Furukawa, do you want to help?"
Furukawa Kumisa shook his head without thinking: "No need."
Edogawa Conan choked at such a direct rejection and became silent for a moment.
Furukawa Kumisa saw that he was motionless. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the kid standing next to him aggrievedly. His little hands were scratching the edge of the cooking table. His little round face was slightly white from the exertion.
He collapsed. At that moment, she almost imagined that there were two long ears hanging down on his head.
Furukawa Kumisa:……
Even though she knew that this little bastard was trying to be cute out of spite, the way he looked really made her unable to harden her heart.
Furukawa Kumisa sighed, put down the knife in his hand, and turned to him: "Be good, you can do the cooking. If Conan-kun is hungry, how about you eat a few pieces of bread first?"
As she spoke, she casually picked up the cut edge of a loaf of bread and handed it to Edogawa Conan.
The wilting little boy cheered up instantly and smiled at her: "Yeah, thank you Sister Furukawa."
After saying that, he opened his mouth and came up to bite the edge of the bread in her hand.
Furukawa Kumisa:...?Wait? I didn't say I wanted to feed you?
But it was no longer easy to hold back at this time. Furukawa Kumisa was frozen on the spot. There was a "bang" sound of the refrigerator door closing, and a black shadow inserted between the two of them.
Toru Amuro put the chicken breast in his hand on the table, and then smiled at Edogawa Conan who was squeezed past him.
"Eating snacks before meals is a bad habit, Conan-kun."
Edogawa Conan:……
