Conan: When I Be Gin's Brother

Saturday.

Koizumi Anko's home.

Kurosawa Rin refined a bottle of ablation potion under the guidance of Koizumi Anko. Seeing that the potion successfully turned into a beautiful purple, he breathed a sigh of relief, capped the reagent lid more easily, and handed the completed potion to Koizumi Hongzi.

son.

"It worked again."

Koizumi Anko raised her eyebrows in surprise, took the potion handed over by Kurosawa Rin, and used magic power to explore it.

"You have made great progress this month. It seems that you can start learning soul potions today."

"Really?" Kurosawa Rin, who was sitting aside and resting, took a sip of black tea, his voice was a little happy, but from the look of his expression, he didn't seem surprised by his progress.

In fact, he still had reservations.

"This is all thanks to you, Hongzi-senpai~"

Kurosawa Rin said with a sweet smile, and Koizumi Anko also chuckled, "Okay, Rin-kun, please stop teasing me, I still know how hard you have worked this month!"

Yes, Kurosawa Rin worked really hard. In just one month, he consumed more magic materials than Koizumi Anko consumed in a year.

But there is no way around it. Kurosawa Rin's magic power is so many times higher than hers, and she doesn't have to worry about magic power loss when making potions.

"well……"

Silently settling her thoughts, Koizumi Anko quietly spread her consciousness, using the unique skills of the red magic lineage, to feel the light and shadow of the soul in the darkness like the sun.

The light and shadow was to his left. Judging from the shape of the light and shadow, he should be sitting on the sofa drinking black tea, emitting a dazzling silver light.

Isn’t it Rin Kurosawa?

Compared with Koizumi Anko herself, the soul that used to be particularly dazzling in the crowd is now like a faint red candlelight in front of Kurosawa Rin, as if it will melt and disappear under the rays of the sun at any time.

This growth rate...

It is indeed a monster.

Curiosity for knowledge is very important to witches, and Koizumi Anko is no exception. While she is a little scared of Kurosawa Rin, she is even more curious about what happened to Kurosawa Rin.

What happened in the past month that could cause such a terrible change in his soul?

She couldn't help but want to ask, but after touching her eyes that had not healed yet, the price of her curiosity... Koizumi Hongzi gave up the idea.

Of course, Kurosawa Rin didn't know that Koizumi Anko had noticed the changes in his soul. He was still drinking tea leisurely, feeling his abundant magical power, and felt secretly happy.

In one week, just one week, his soul power increased by 10%. Every day when he got up, he could feel the slight growth of his soul.

Compared to those whose soul power has not changed at all over the years, his rate of progress is nothing short of monstrous.

This is reasonable, but unexpected.

After all, based on the whole of Japan, even if each person only takes a little bit, if added together, half the amount is still very considerable.

A powerful and special soul and consciousness, popular songs in the memory of the past life, and an angelic voice, these factors are indispensable.

Absorbing Youge, this magic seems to be born for him.

…………

At Koizumi Hongzi's house, she finally got the method for refining the soul potion.

Although he could have successfully produced it at the time with his control, but

In order not to arouse Koizumi Hongzi's suspicion, he deliberately made a few mistakes, and finally failed to refine a bottle of soul potion today.

The materials for the soul potion were not that sufficient, and the last materials quickly turned into ashes in Kurosawa Rin's hands.

The refining failed and Kurosawa Rin stayed here for a long time. It was time to go back.

"Poor Crow Tengu, all the toes that have fallen off during this period have been in vain." Koizumi Anko said with some pity as she stroked the fur of the little creature that looked like a black-bone chicken in the cage.

"I originally thought that I would let you go home after refining the potion, but now I see that is no longer possible."

"Hey..."

After all, he is a monster, and the Crow Tengu can understand Koizumi Anko's words. He screamed in disappointment, and his little head drooped.

Kurosawa Rin looked at the depressed "little black chicken" in the cage and comforted him, "Don't worry, Crow Tengu, I will refine the soul potion as soon as possible... I won't let Senior Hongzi lock you up for too long.

"

"Ugh!" Crow Tengu yelled at Kurosawa Rin angrily.

The man in front of me roughly grabbed him back, and even tried to kill him, chopping off his legs and toes... He looked like he wasn't a good person, and I absolutely couldn't listen to his nonsense!

"Ugh!" There was another cry, and this time the Crow Tengu turned his head away. Obviously he didn't want to see Kurosawa Rin again, and waved his right wing towards the door in a serious way, probably to let Kurosawa.

Ze Lin leave quickly.

Kurosawa Rin's smile froze.

???

Is he being despised by a black chicken???

Ha! This little black-bone chicken is quite courageous!

I'm afraid you haven't heard of the various black-bone tortures you have mastered, right?

Kurosawa Rin snorted in his heart, and then silently began to recall various methods of making black-bone chicken dishes.

What about stewed black-bone chicken with yam, roasted black-bone chicken with soy sauce, black-bone chicken and wolfberry soup, black-bone rice...

Koizumi Anko looked at the appearance of the Crow Tengu in the cage and burst into laughter.

"Rin-kun, you seem to be despised by this child!"

"Hmm." Kurosawa Rin's face darkened, "Senior Hongzi! Huh... I'm leaving!"

As he spoke, he was like a child having a bad temper, and left Koizumi Hongzi's home with a bulging face.

…………

When he returned home, Cheng Shi was still cooking dinner. His current life was gradually developing into the direction of a "house husband".

But obviously there are only a few days left of this leisurely life...

Kurosawa Rin returned to the study to prepare the soul potion again, but this time he would no longer retain his strength.

He took out the materials needed for refining: burdock, aconite, cherries, as well as the lemongrass, sorrel, and gum arabic that Kaito had purchased last time.

He also took out the remaining mouse bile and cockroach hind legs that he collected earlier.

As well as the crow tengu toes, zombie nails, and fire-breathing tree roots that I brought back from Koizumi Anko's house.

The refining equipment requires ordinary test tubes, beakers, glass rods, and a slightly larger copper furnace to make simple magic potions.

As for the heating equipment…

He doesn't have the convenient magic flame like Koizumi Anko here, but... if it's just for heating, there should be no problem with using an induction cooker, right?

"Well... there should be no problem."

So Kurosawa Rin secretly came downstairs, and while Narumi was carrying the dishes to the restaurant, he reached out and unplugged the induction cooker.

He ran upstairs with his arms and sprinted ten meters.

He rushed into the study and locked the door behind his back.

Then, I heard Chengshi shouting from downstairs...

"Rin?! Where did you take my induction cooker??"

“I still have one dish left to cook!!”

He went upstairs and arrived at the study, only to find that Rin Kurosawa had locked the door.

"Could this kid burn down the house?"

Chengshi suddenly panicked.
