I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

The school days are very uneventful, after all, school is one of the few places where the Grim Reaper's aura doesn't work when the new freshman goes out.

For now, that's the case.

Today is Sunday, and the karate tournament will be held in a few days, and Xiaolan is making final preparations for the competition along with the members of the karate club.

Shinichi, who was idle, planned to accompany her, but Xiaolan refused on the grounds that he would be distracted and unable to concentrate on training.

This made Shinichi a little sad, Xiaolan actually didn't want him anymore.

But fortunately, he just used this time to plan the celebration banquet for Xiaolan to win the championship, and by the way, he dealt with the letters accumulated this year.

As a detective, even though he is already very low-key and has not even been interviewed by reporters, his fame still spreads.

Especially with some of the upper class.

Coupled with the fame of his parents who have emigrated to the Beacon Country, from time to time someone will send a letter of entrustment, or invite him to some banquets to exchange feelings, although he has basically never been there.

"Let me see, the letter of entrustment, the letter of entrustment, the invitation letter to the banquet, the letter of entrustment...... Is Dorobica Park a new amusement park?".

Briefly skimming over most of the letters, Shinichi's gaze rested on an amusement park flyer.

It is a large amusement park consisting of Adventure Island, Wild Taikoo Island, Science Universe Island, Magical Fantasy Island, and Fantasy Fairy Tale Island, and it is a new opening, so many leaflets are distributed.

"That's a good place......

."

Looking at the introduction on the flyer, Shinichi took the name of this amusement park to heart.

Whether it's a place for entertainment or a place for confession at a critical time, it seems to be a good choice.

"Excuse me, is anyone home?".

A crisp voice interrupted Shinichi's thoughts.

Steaming the fermented xiao long bao, he walked to the window, followed the prestige, and saw a timid little Lori standing outside the iron gate, looking into the yard.

Time goes back to ten minutes ago.

Ayumi Yoshida and her two friends, Mitsuhiko and Motota, were playing outside as usual.

Sanxiao, who is much more daring than his peers, plays adventure games, aiming for places he has not been to before.

Although the town of Rice Flower is small, there are still many areas that the three children have never set foot in.

So they came to the 2-chome, which is a high-end residential area, and even Mitsuhiko, the best of the three, has never been here.

"Wow, these houses are so big and beautiful!".

"And it's all so magnificent, it must be expensive!".

"There must be a lot of eel rice hidden in it!".

Although the focus is different, the three are all amazed by the sight in front of them.

"The road is so wide, let's play football!"

Motota, whose head was as round as a football, made a proposal, which was quickly echoed by the other two.

In the cognition of most children, as long as the place is big enough, it can be played, and they will not consider safety or not.

Even if the parents have told them many times.

But fortunately, this is a road in a wealthy area, and the environment is quiet, and the traffic flow is much less than that of the downtown area.

In addition, it is past the morning rush hour, but there is no traffic.

"Hey, look at my Tiger shot!".

"Stupid! you're kicking too hard!".

"Ahh

But after playing for a while, the accident still happened.

Kojima Motota is much taller than his peers, and his weight has even reached 40KG.

This also led to his great strength, and the time of passing the ball was too strong, and he kicked the football out of the air.

"Oops! The ball has fallen!".

In Sanxiao's gaze, the football drew a graceful arc in the air, although it didn't smash other people's windows or anything, but it fell into a courtyard.

The sudden situation made the three little ones look at each other, and they lost their minds for a while.

"Yuantai, you kicked the ball away, and you are responsible for getting it back. "

Mitsuhiko, who has a flexible head, immediately handed over this difficult task to Motota.

"Why? It's not because you didn't catch the ball!"

Of course, Yuan Tai disagreed, and retorted with his simple logic.

After all, his little head stuffed with food couldn't understand that a normal first-grade elementary school student couldn't catch a ball that was kicked several meters high.

Seeing that the two friends were about to quarrel, Ayumi Kogami hurriedly dissuaded her.

In the end, the three elementary school students decided to use rock-paper-scissors to choose the person who asked for the ball.

And Ayumi is that little unlucky guy.

"How can this be?"

Although she was reluctant, the nature of a child still made her keep her promise, and she walked to the house on the side step by step, and looked back at her two friends from time to time.

At this time, Motota and Mitsuhiko had already hid behind the wall at the corner of the street, as if they were afraid that the owner of the house would find out when they came out.

"Excuse me, is anyone home?".

Standing on tiptoe and ringing the doorbell, Ayumi politely shouted into the house.

At the same time, she was also under the cherry blossom tree in the yard and saw the football that was kicked in by Motota.

"What a beautiful cherry blossom tree~".

She had already noticed the cherry blossom tree when she was outside just now, but because of the fence of the yard, she could only see part of it on top.

Now that I saw this tall and beautiful cherry tree thoroughly, I couldn't help but exclaim.

If you take a picture under this tree, it will definitely look good, right?

The little girl had a beautiful fantasy in her heart, and she didn't even notice that behind the iron gate in front of her, a figure had appeared for a while, still holding the soccer ball in her hand.

And when she came back to her senses, the breeze stirred the branches and leaves, bringing up a burst of cherry blossom petals.

Through the iron gate, the four eyes were facing each other, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.

"Give. "

Squatting down, a new ball was handed out through the crack in the iron door.

"You're here for this. "

Outside the iron gate, Ayumi was still surprised by this sudden figure, blinked her eyes, and took the ball in a daze.

What the little girl didn't understand even more was why the big brother who suddenly appeared didn't ask anything to know that she was here to ask for football

Shinichi didn't care about this, he stood up and prepared to go back to the house.

"Wait a minute!".

The little girl said hurriedly.

"Thank you, big brother, my name is Ayumi Yoshida, what's your name?"

The education she received since she was a child made her politely thank you and ask for Shinichi's name.

"My name is Shinichi Kudo, and I'm a detective. "

Shinichi turned his head and looked at the little girl's expectant gaze, and said with a smile.

What a lovely child.
