Conan: The Mechanic - Chapter 1044

Shiho doesn’t know how he got home.

“I’m fine.” Standing in front of the door, she didn’t invite Yingying home to sit for a while, but just said to Yingying with a worried face. “Sister Ying, go back first…give me some time to be quiet.”

Saying this, she ignored Yingying who was about to say what she was about to say, and closed the door directly.

“Ah…” Hotaru withdrew the hand that she had stretched out, trying to appease Shiho, but still looked at the door with an uneasy expression.

But after a long time, what she expected, Shiho’s emotional breakdown didn’t happen – otherwise she should have heard something.

[She…is it really okay? 】

But, you can’t just waste it like that.

After sighing in her heart, Ying shook her head and turned to leave.

……

Of course it’s impossible for Shiho to really be okay, but she’s still trying to restrain her emotions because she’s doing something that can only be done by being calm enough.

For example, now, she is kneeling on the floor of Chiba’s room, rummaging through his locker—of course, the locker is locked, but Shiho naturally has a key in his hand.

An agency notebook, an investigation manual… These things were carefully taken out by Shibao and placed gently beside them. Although her movements were gentle, her focus was not on them.

Finally, she found what she wanted: a photo album.

She just realized that there wasn’t even a separate photo between the two of them. And Qianyu didn’t have the habit of taking pictures by herself, which caused her to not even have a photo of Qianyu.

However, she knew that Qianyu had a small photo album that was secretly hidden from her. Maybe it contained Qianyu’s previous photos, so he could keep it and think about it?

Thinking like this, she carefully opened the album.

The first page of the album is a black and white photo of Ai Haibara… No, this is not a photo, but a carefully drawn portrait of Ai Haibara.

This dress… It should be my favorite piece of clothing in June, but I only liked it at that time, and I changed it later… It seems that this should be the portrait of Chiba just after getting the auxiliary unit?

On the next page, there is a picture of Haibara Ai happily eating a meal made by Chiba.

On the next page, there is a portrait of Ai Haibara playing with the kitten at home.

[It’s not Chiba’s photo…not yet…this one is not…] I couldn’t find the photo I needed, and Shiho’s flipping became faster and faster. After all, her own portrait was not important at this time. .

But when she turned dozens of pages, her hand slowed down again.

Every portrait is her cutest appearance… Even if you just glance at it, you can feel the love for the painted object surging in the painter’s heart.

[Calm down… Calm down, what I have to do now is to find his photo…]

Trembling, Shiho stretched his hand to the end of the page and turned to the next page while trying to restrain his emotions.

There are no photos on this page, only a paragraph of text.

[October 15, 1994, -1, no matter what the result of taking the medicine tomorrow, the state of the child’s body will come to an end. Whether living upright in the original body, or dying from the side effects of drugs, this will be the end of Chiba and Ai’s story. If someone else saw this little book, it might mean that I am dead, and no one can tell other people the story between us with personal experience. Then, please also see that you can remember and tell others: Tachibana Chiba and Haibara Ai are lovers who love each other deeply. This is absolute, eternal, and beyond everything. Perhaps our bodies will be destroyed, but we will live happily ever after in the kingdom of heaven on the other side of the world. 】

Shiho’s hand holding the page was shaking slightly.

“Qianyu, you are too bad…” She murmured in a trembling voice. “Why do you write such cunning words…”

A tear fell on the paper, making the paper slightly wet.

“Ah!” With a somewhat panicked scream, Shiho put the notebook on the mattress next to him. “how come……”

Sitting on the bed in a hurry and panicking for a long time, Shiho finally remembered that he should go get the paper, but…

“Chiba!” Shiho slapped the mattress with his fist, and Shiho cried out to the room where no one would come back to live. “Why! You tell me why!

“Since you want me to love you so deadly, why did you leave me so cruelly and die alone? Why? Why!”

In the room, there was only such a heartbroken cry.

…………

Meanwhile, somewhere.

“You…” Fujiwara crossed Erlang’s legs and looked at Chiba helplessly—the latter was staring at the projector in front of him.

In the picture projected on the wall, it was Shiho’s sobbing voice. And Qianyu, who was looking at this picture, also had a gloomy expression.

“If you hurt one thousand enemies, you will lose one thousand. Why do you do this?”

“…” After turning off the projector, he let out a sigh of relief. Qianyu turned her head to one side, not knowing how to answer. “You… don’t you know that too?”

“I can understand your concerns,” Fujiwara just shrugged casually. “But to be honest, if you don’t say it, and we don’t say it, who can know? Your meeting was not destined, but the result of the two of you falling in love, so what does it matter even if that’s the case?”

“You put it simply,” Chiba glared at Fujiwara. “How could this kind of thing not happen… If I really continue to marry her like this~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then live…I feel that my entire nerve is being challenged from the bottom.”

“But the problem is,” Fujiwara stretched out a hand and made a questioning gesture. “Are you sure you can really leave her? Or, now, do you really understand how much you like her? Are you overthrowing your life from the bottom of your life because of this meaningless thing? ?”

“But the question now is not whether I want it or not,” Chiyu gave a stronger rhetorical question. “Seriously, do you think that for a normal person, there is really any room for this kind of thing to turn around? In terms of physiology and instinct, and in terms of the most basic [civilization]?”

“But, you’re just talking about it now, it doesn’t look like you can really put it down.” Fujiwara raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure you won’t be able to hold on in the end?”

“I’ll let it go…” Chiba slightly avoided Fujiwara’s gaze. “I… I booked a train ticket for tomorrow afternoon, and then I will leave Tokyo. Then… in August, I will leave Japan and go to a place where I will never have the chance to meet Shiho again. .In this way, no matter what, I can only put it down.”

“You…” Having said this, Fujiwara shook his head helplessly. “Forget it, anyway… If Shiho encounters a problem, what are you going to do?”

Silence.

“You guys… help her more,” Qianyu still didn’t change her mind. “If there may be any problems, I hope you can help her more…

“I’m sorry, I know this request may be a bit willful, but… I hope you can protect her well. Even if I need to repay you with my life, I will not hesitate.”
