Conan: When I Be Gin's Brother

"But why didn't you redeem the night banquet?"

"You haven't answered the question yet, Director Ochiai!"

Kurosawa Rin felt that the smile on his face was a little stiff, so he rubbed the muscles of his cheeks and continued to smile.

"Because I don't want to give it to you."

Kurosawa Rin's expression became stiffer and stiffer. He tilted his head and looked at Director Ochiai.

"What's the reason?"

Director Ochiai turned to face Kurosawa Rin and stared into his dark green eyes.

"Because I won't sit back and watch another demon be born."

"demon?"

Kurosawa Rin looked confused, "Are you talking about me?"

He sighed with a half-smile, shook his head, and showed an expression as if he was hearing a joke.

"Why do you have such an impression on me?"

Director Ochiai looked at Rin Kurosawa who was still smiling in front of him and smiled back.

"Maybe it's easier for the same kind to find each other? Just like you found me."

"It's just that because something I cherished was destroyed, and because of my anger, I have torn off the last mask, leaving only the most authentic face inside."

"But you still wear a mask with countless layers, and you still have age as a protective layer on the outside."

Kurosawa Rin remained silent, his smiling expression gradually disappearing, leaving only the cold light in his eyes still shining.

Director Ochiai was a little confused, "What on earth could cause a boy to turn into a hypocrite who always pretends to be himself and never shows his true colors to others?"

"Or have you forgotten what your true self is like?"

"Can you only act?"

Director Ochiai suddenly laughed and stared blankly into Kurosawa Rin's eyes, waiting for his answer.

Kurosawa Rin was silent for a while and then returned to his previous smile.

"Grandpa Curator doesn't want to hand over that dagger to me, so forget it."

"It's getting dark soon. If we don't go back, someone in the family will be worried."

He smiled slightly and said, "I will go back today. Maybe I will never see you in the art gallery again."

"Grandpa Curator."

Director Ochiai was silent, looking at Kurosawa Rin in front of him, "Aren't you willing to admit this fact?"

"Perhaps when you have something you cherish and must protect it, you will be willing to admit this fact."

Kurosawa Rin walked out the door with a smile. Before leaving, he paused at the door, looked back at Director Ochiai and said.

"It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not."

"I don't think I'm a good person."

This sentence seemed extremely awkward coming from Kurosawa Rin's mouth.

In the silence of the curator, Kurosawa Rin left the museum and walked toward home alone.

"Devil..." He whispered the word.

Perhaps in his previous life, he was indeed a demon with blood on his hands.

But so what, who would have known that in such a small body, there would be a sinful soul.

What he values ​​now is his own life. In order to survive, he must continue to become stronger and stronger enough to change his fate of being killed on the day he meets the red scarf.

Thinking of this, Kurosawa Rin felt a headache again.

He had not found the source of magic power that Koizumi Anko asked him to find before. This time he wanted to get the dagger banquet in advance, but he was tricked by Director Ochiai.

What's the reason? Because I don't want to sit back and watch another demon being born?!

At that time, he wanted to go up and touch Director Ochiai's forehead to see if he had a fever.

But there are some things like what Director Ochiai said. Sometimes he is indeed acting, but that is not all.

At school, when chatting with Xiaolan Yuanzi, when I go home, when I treat Sister Mingmei, and when I tease Conan...

He comes from his true feelings, these are his true and unpretended performances!

The walk home alone is always extremely long. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Rin Kurosawa smelled the fragrant aroma of rice as soon as he walked into the house.

Miyano Akemi hadn't come home yet. Although Kurosawa Rin had greeted her before, Miyano Akemi, who didn't know exactly what time he would be back, could only heat up the cold food over and over again.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Miyano Akemi poked her head out of the kitchen.

"The heating time is just right this time." Miyano Akemi smiled softly, and then returned to the kitchen to prepare other meals.

Kurosawa Rin's fatigue, which seemed to have been broken after walking for a long time, was instantly swept away.

Looking at the warm home that truly belongs to him in front of him, Kurosawa Rin's face showed a smile that was different from before.

Miyano Akemi happened to see this scene when she was preparing everything and came out. She was a little surprised.

"Did you encounter anything happy today?"

Kurosawa Rin shook his head, "It's not a happy thing, but a sad thing. The curator didn't agree to my buying the dagger after all."

"But, I unexpectedly figured out something."

"Is that so..." Miyano Akemi still looked at Kurosawa Rin with some curiosity.

"What's wrong?"

She shook her head: "No, I just feel like Rin today."

"Extraordinarily happy."

"Even the smile has become contagious!" Miyano Akemi chuckled.

The Kurosawa Rin in front of him had curved eyebrows and his smile, although not as cute and warm as before, was extremely sincere.

What did he just figure out?

yes.

Seeing Miyano Akemi's chuckle in front of him, Kurosawa Rin realized one thing.

He valued more than just his life.

And Sister Mingmei, who is always treating me tenderly in front of me!

…

At night, Gin sat in front of the monitor, looking at the products he had packed for several hours, covering his face with melancholy.

The package in front of me was neatly wrapped in blue patterned wrapping paper, and it was also delicately tied with colorful ribbons and bows. There was also a very delicate message card sandwiched between the ribbons, but the writing on it

Not very pretty.

Gin was silent for a while, silently tore open the packages he had packed for a long time, rolled them into a ball and threw them aside.

"Maybe I'm a little tired..."

Gin shook his head, took out the dagger from the package, and started a new round of packaging.

…

The next day finally arrived, one of the few working days in the world of Conan.

After finishing breakfast, Kurosawa Rin was about to leave home for school, but unexpectedly found a simply wrapped package in his mailbox.

Because he was at school, Kurosawa Rin did not take him out immediately, but waited until he got home from school to take it back.

While Miyano Akemi was cooking, Kurosawa Rin sat in the study and opened the package.

"This is!"

Kurosawa Rin looked at the contents of the package in great surprise.

What caught the eye was a pitch black dagger wrapped haphazardly and randomly in various white papers.

The sharp lines of the dagger, with blood lines on both sides, were exactly the night banquet that Kurosawa Rin had been asking for before.

"this……!"

Kurosawa Rin was immersed in the unexpected surprise and couldn't extricate himself, but after calming down for a while, he remembered to see who the postman was.

Could it be that the curator's conscience discovered it?

No! This morning's newspaper did report on the surrender of the museum director.

Who is it?

Finally, Kurosawa Rin found a line of writing on the messy white paper that was a little crooked and not very nice:

Someone gave me this dagger when we were doing business. It's a meaningless thing, so I'll just give it to you. You can keep it or not as you wish.

The signature below is: Zhen.

Kurosawa Rin read the letter a few times in disbelief, constantly searching his memory to see if he knew anyone else named leader besides his brother Gin.

But obviously, he did not think of other candidates who might give him the dagger.

"Is this really what Gin gave me?!"

"The sun is really coming out in the west."

Kurosawa Rin was somewhat surprised and a little happy.

But what made him very speechless was that the night banquet that had been mortgaged by the curator a few days ago was actually bought and sent to Gin "far abroad" so quickly, and then from Gin's shop so quickly.

It was delivered to my own hands.

Kurosawa Rin didn't know whether to laugh or cry about the reason Gin wrote on the white paper. He would be in trouble if he believed it.

Um……

If you don't consider the fact that Gin is spying on you and has such contempt for your own IQ.

This brother is actually acceptable...

Kurosawa Rin thought so.
