Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

……

Unlike before, Fujii, who had just fallen to the ground, stood up again, assumed an offensive stance, and the flames in his eyes showed no sign of disappearing.

Looking at Fujii's current state, Tatsuno couldn't help but sigh.

For young people, the motivational message is still a bit too strong.

...

Chapter 7 has arrived, Little Flying Man!

after an hour

Tatsuno walked to the front door of the Kudo family's house.

It shouldn't have taken this long originally.

But halfway there, Longye suddenly realized that this was his first formal visit, and it wouldn't be right to come empty-handed and ask for a freebie.

So he stopped by a department store and a bookstore on the way, bought gifts for the Kudo family members, and spent some time there.

After putting down what he was holding, Longye rang the doorbell.

"Ding dong!"

Within seconds, the door was opened by a young and beautiful woman: "Hello, you must be Takeda Tatsuno-kun, right? My name is Kudo Yukiko, I'm Shinichi's mother~ What are you standing there for? Come in!"

It's no wonder that Ryūno stood there dumbfounded, after all, it was the first time he had ever seen Kudo Yukiko alive.

As expected of a former superstar, his exceptional looks and approachable demeanor were the strongest he had ever seen.

"Hello, Yukiko-neechan! I'm sorry to have bothered you today. This is a small token of my appreciation; please accept it!"

After exchanging greetings, Tatsuno handed the things he was carrying to Yukiko.

Yukiko, still basking in the title of "older sister," only then noticed what she was holding.

"You're too kind, kid! Come on in, the food will be ready soon." Yukiko put away the gift and turned to call out, "Shin-chan! Your friend's here! Come on, let's go play!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than two distinct footsteps echoed down the stairs.

In addition to Shinichi Kudo, Yusaku Kudo also came out.

After greeting Yusaku Kudo, Tatsuno and Shinichi went to visit the study together.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Longye was still shocked when he saw the huge study in person.

This is truly the study of Yusaku Kudo, one of the top figures in the Conan world.

Aside from some basic literary works and novels, the books cover almost all categories of books that are related to "detectives," including medicine, psychology, sociology, and law.

Do detective novelists really need to read all these books?

Who can stand this?

After a brief moment of shock, Tatsuno accepted the Sherlock Holmes collection that Shinichi Kudo handed him.

……

the other side

Yusaku Kudo asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Yukiko thought for a moment and said, "Well, this child gives off a very mature vibe, not like a child his age at all. He must have experienced a lot since he was young... Yusaku, we..."

Hearing this, Kudo Yusaku sighed softly and said, "I understand what you mean. If the child agrees, let him come and live with us."

"As expected of you! You actually knew what I was thinking."

……

On the table

While serving food to Tatsuno, Yukiko cautiously probed into his living situation.

"Ryūno, why don't you come and live with us? Shinichi doesn't have many friends, and he always locks himself in his study to read. If this continues, he'll turn into a bookworm. If you come, you can keep him company and play with him!"

"…Um?"

Upon hearing the first part of that sentence, Longye was a little taken aback. How could this socially adept guy in front of him be a bookworm?

Hmm, living together? Ah… he seems to understand.

Longye then remembered that his current identity was that of a pitiful boy who had lost his family at a young age and had no one to rely on...

After making several refusals, he finally managed to decline Yukiko's offer to move in with him.

Although I appreciate their kindness, he is not a real child and doesn't need to be taken care of.

After the meal, Yukiko said, "Tatsuno-kun, our family is planning to go to the beach during the holidays. Why don't you come too? And invite Ran along as well, so the three of you can play together."

Upon hearing "seaside," Ryuno remembered that the scene where Conan first met the Akai family took place at the seaside, seemingly when Shinichi was in elementary school.

Could it be this time?

Thinking of this, he immediately replied, "Okay, thank you!"

...

After seeing Longye off

Yukiko and Yusaku stood outside the courtyard gate.

Tatsuno's small figure gradually disappeared from Yukiko and Yusaku's sight.

Yukiko asked worriedly, "Are you sure it's okay? Letting such a young child live alone? Or should we bring him to live with us?"

Yusaku Kudo recalled Ryuno's behavior since he entered the room and shook his head: "No need, that boy is more reliable than he seems. Have you seen the gift he brought?"

The mystery novel, cosmetics, and fountain pen were gifts that were relevant to the three of us, indicating that the child had researched our preferences beforehand and had a basic understanding of us.

After Shinichi told me about his situation, I specifically investigated it. After the Takeda couple passed away, their remaining assets were basically in that child's hands, so his financial situation isn't a concern for the time being.

After a pause, Yusaku continued, "This ability to gather information and make judgments is even better than that of some adults."

Of course, we can keep a closer eye on this child and have Shinichi invite him over more often. If any problems arise, we can always bring him to live with us then.

After listening to Yusaku Kudo's explanation, Yukiko temporarily put aside her worries: "Well, then let Shin-chan invite him to play more often."

That child seems quite talented. Shinichi could learn a lot from him if he followed him.

...

A week later

After leaving the dojo, Longye suddenly stopped in his tracks.

[Ten daily tasks have been completed; special rewards have been issued.]

Upon hearing the system's sudden voice, Longye immediately summoned his personal panel—

-

System: Under Force (New Player Protection Period)

Host: Takeda Tatsuno

Age: 6

Strength: C+

Speed: C

Physical strength: C

Reaction: C

Spirit: C+

(The average grade for adults is: C)

System Backpack: 1. General-purpose Mechanical Wings V1 (Automatically upgrades after the mission system is upgraded again.)

2.B Karate Fragments x3

3.C+ Stamina Fragments x5

4.C+ Speed ​​Fragments x8

-

Looking at the futuristic "mechanical wings" that had suddenly appeared in his backpack, he curiously clicked on its information panel:

【General Purpose Mechanical Wings V1】:

— Normal flight speed: 500 km/h, sustained for 5 minutes.

Full speed: 2500 km/h, sustained for 5 seconds.

It can be put on and taken off at any time using thought, and the wings themselves can become invisible.

Once equipped, the wings will automatically generate a protective force field within a certain range, counteracting adverse factors such as gravitational acceleration.

-

"Holy crap, this... Holy crap!!!"

After reading the introduction, he unconsciously clenched his fists, and his face turned red with excitement.

If he weren't still on the street, he would have loved to yell and shout to vent his excitement.

When Ryūno first saw the wings, his initial impression was that they resembled the "hang gliders" of Kaito Kid.

While it is indeed very cool, there are very few scenarios where it can be used.

After all, most people can't jump off tall buildings and mountains every day like Kaito Kid, right?

Not to mention that achieving Kaito's gliding skills in the original work would require a long period of learning and training.
