Hattori Heiji, currently in the second grade of junior high school, is a straight man with a cute childhood sweetheart.
More than a month ago during the summer vacation, he met Kudo Shinichi at an event organized by offline mystery enthusiasts. The two junior high school detectives with the same interests and hobbies hit it off (or so Heiji thought), and gradually developed a friendship.
Hattori Heiji is very confident and thinks in a chuunibana way that when they enter high school, he and Kudo will become famous high school detectives throughout Japan, representing Kanto and Kansai respectively, to compete with each other - Kudo Shinichi's response to this was to droop his half-moon eyes and say perfunctorily, "Ah, really?"
Not long ago, Hattori Heiji was invited to attend his cousin's wedding in Tokyo, and also visited his friend Kudo Shinichi.
Kudo Shinichi comes from a wealthy family. His mother is the famous actress Kudo Yukiko, and his father is the well-known mystery novelist Kudo Yusaku. Both parents have a good relationship, and Shinichi grew up in a warm family environment, although he often feels that he may just be a gift from his parents' marriage.
Of course, as the only son of the Chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, Hattori Heiji has enjoyed a richer material life than ordinary children since he was a child. Therefore, when he visited the Kudo family's villa, he was in a very natural state and such conditions did not surprise him... until he saw the frog tricycle in the Kudo family's backyard.
"Kudo, are you so lucky?" Hattori Heiji asked in surprise, "Did you win the lottery?"
Kudo Shinichi was confused: "What do you mean by winning the lottery?"
Hattori: "This car is priced very high right now. Did you pay a premium to buy it in stock?"
Kudo Shinichi explained: "Oh, it... My mother brought it back to me, saying it was a gift from her friend. It was more than half a year ago, and the price was not that outrageous at that time."
Hattori Heiji asked curiously: "Have you tried it? Is it really possible to levitate?"
Kudo Shinichi said generously: "Yes, that's right. There's still electricity, so just play if you want."
The process of this frog twisting car becoming popular was very tortuous and bizarre.
First of all, there are its magical and overwhelming advertisements. The content of the advertisements is eye-catching, and the BGM and lines are brainwashing. You will unconsciously repeat the famous lines of Frogman and Aka Fish and hum a few lines of the advertising ditty.
Also, its appearance is really ugly and cute, and it is the type that is "long-lasting to look at".
At first glance, it looks weird. What is this? Is it for kids
On second glance, it looks weird, but kind of cute.
It looks weird the first time you look at it, but it’s actually not bad once you get used to it.
The most important point is that this car can actually float in the air, although it is only half a meter to one meter off the ground.
—Come on, this is a flying frog car! Who can resist such a cool hover car!
As a result, the tricycle caused a sensation among students. Students who could own a tricycle would become the envy of everyone.

"Lucky!" Hattori Heiji got on the tricycle and pressed the "UP" button on the steering wheel. The car body really started to float up. He exclaimed, "... Wow."
Seeing him so engrossed, Kudo Shinichi's expression revealed a hint of pride, but he hid it well.
Recently, a series of bombings occurred in Kanto. Hattori Heiji came to Tokyo with his father who was on a business trip. His father, Hattori Heizo, did not allow him to interfere in the case, so he had to give up the idea and asked Kudo to go out for a stroll. By the way, he shared with him the case information he had found out, and the two discussed it.
Tired from walking, they took a short rest in this cold drink shop.
Shortly after sitting down, Hattori Heiji noticed two new guests, two men, at the table across from him.
One of them was wearing a black windbreaker, with an upright figure and a cold temperament, looking like someone who is not easy to mess with; the other one, wearing light-colored clothes, wrapped himself up tightly, wearing a hat, sunglasses and a mask. At first glance, it looked like a star who didn't want to be recognized and went out with an assistant.
When meeting someone, mystery lovers often subconsciously analyze the details of their appearance and behavior patterns, and Hattori Heiji is no exception. Every move and gesture of each person secretly reveals his life experience.
.
However, this dark-haired young man in his twenties, with fine clothes, calm words and movements, and a good financial situation... other than that, he seemed too perfect.
Therefore, Hattori Heiji looked at him a few more times.
He saw the black-haired young man and his silver-haired cool guy companion sitting in a row, very close to each other and whispering.
He saw the silver-haired man go out to answer the phone, and his eyes kept glancing at the other person vaguely.
He saw the black-haired young man exhale and draw little expressions on the transparent glass to his cool companion.
Hattori Heiji:"… … "
Hattori Heiji:""
As a straight man, Hattori Heiji was shocked. He firmly believed that he would never do such a weird thing with any of his brothers. Any one of these would make a straight man feel uncomfortable.
From this, he finally found some unusual clues in this impeccable young man.
The young straight man Hattori Heiji turned and walked into the mountains (Mt. Kongtong).
The thought came to him so decisively that he blurted out to Kudo without realizing it: "I think I saw a gay man."
Kudo Shinichi didn't hear clearly and asked, "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Hattori Heiji scratched the side of his face and said awkwardly, "Maybe I think too much."
As a typical blockhead who is not very sensitive to emotions, Hattori quickly suppressed this sudden thought, thinking that he might be thinking too much; moreover, it is impolite to speculate and judge other people's sexual orientation without authorization.
Kudo Shinichi turned his head and glanced in the direction of his gaze, and found a young man wrapped up tightly sitting at the table behind him. He didn't understand what was going on. He had a hunch that Hattori was talking about something that he was not interested in, so he just let the other party laugh it off.
And Hojo Natsuki, who was sitting at the table diagonally behind them, of course noticed that Hiraji and Shinichi took turns looking at him and seemed to be discussing him.
Honestly, he didn't care.
In the eyes of these two junior high school students, he is a flawless young man; but with the systematic spoilers, they have no secrets at all in Xia Shu's eyes.
They are just two detective chicks with good family conditions, smart brains and good physical fitness.
At least for now, these two chicks whose feathers have not yet grown fully can pose no threat to him or the frog organization.
After making this judgment, Hojo Natsuki turned his attention back to his offline exhibition, which is the most interesting thing at the moment.
Kurosawa Jin was still outside on the phone. While waiting, he stared at the Q-version booth on his phone.
Another fish appeared. It was brightly colored and seemed to be a butterfly fish. It was not very big, a typical marine ornamental fish.
Fish all walk in a similar way, with their bodies erected, their heads pointed upward, their tails swinging from side to side, and twisting their bodies on the ground to move forward. Therefore, no matter how good-looking a fish is, it will be very funny once it walks.
System: [[Akai Yuyu]'s ex-girlfriend [Judy Fish] has appeared! Do you want to view basic information? [Y/N]]
Hojo Natsuki: “?!”
There is such a thing? You must watch it!
[Judy Fish]
[Species: Butterfly fish]
[Camp: FBI]
At this time, Judy Fish was staring at her ex-boyfriend Akai Yuyu from a few meters away.
The fish has a sad expression on its face, and seems to sympathize with Akai Yuyu's experience.
Judy Yu's lips moved together, and she uttered a syllable in a sad voice: [show...]
Hojo Natsuki: “?”
How did this Judy fish show such a sad and tangled expression to the ridiculous face of Akai Yuyu? Did it think about all the sad things in its life? Is this true
Akai Yuyu, is he really a handsome guy in the aesthetics of amphibians
Hojo Natsuki ignored
He was stunned.
After all, he is not an amphibian, he is a human being.
But out of some kind of competitive mentality, he brought out the portrait of Kototo Frog and compared it with Akai Fish again, and still maintained his previous idea.
— Between the silver-blue crucian carp and the green coffin face, no matter how you look at it, the coffin face of the frog looks more handsome, right
Akai Yuyu felt the sad gaze and looked thoughtfully among the group of small animals. After a few seconds, his eyes met those of his ex-girlfriend.
It looks extremely calm, worthy of being a steady and reliable top sniper. Its expression does not change at all, although no matter what it does, it looks like a salted fish that is unwilling to die (when it is shocked to the point of its pupils shaking, it is a crucian carp ready to die).
Akai Fish gave Judy Fish a look, but it was unclear what it wanted to convey. Then, it continued to take photos with the animals in line one by one.
Judy Fish bit her lip, her expression becoming even more complicated.
Judy Fish: [Show... You've given too much...]
Hojo Natsuki: “?”
Akai Yuyu didn't say anything, just glanced at it, how did they start chatting across the air
Perhaps, there is a special telepathy between these fish from the other side of the ocean
Akai Yuyu is still operating calmly.
Unfortunately, just like the cat's claws digging into the ground betrayed Zero's true thoughts, Akai's tail also exposed its true emotions.
When its aunt Miyano Elena appeared just now, its fish tail shook like a propeller and never stopped. Now it is almost leaving an afterimage. Without the hovercraft, Akai Fish can just shake its flowery tail and fly away.
Its thoughts were as tangled and painful as Ling Miao's.
[Judy?]
[Why is Judy here too...]
[…Don’t come over here, don’t come over here. ]
[After this is over, I have to explain to Aunt Elena. I hope I can get through it.]
[…Judy, don’t come over here.]
Ling Miao also noticed the subtle abnormality of his natural enemy and was becoming suspicious.
[Lei is a little strange]
[Does he know Elena? ]
[Does he suspect the relationship between me and Elena? ]
[…]
Hojo Natsuki is happy when his employees are in pain.
More happiness is yet to come.
System: [[Matsuda Juanjuan] and [Hagiwara Maji] are only 366 meters away from you! ]
System: [[Matsuda Juanjuan] and [Hagiwara Maji] are really curious about the frog twister that dragged their two reliable colleagues into the water, so they decided to take advantage of their vacation time to come to the offline exhibition to investigate it in person! ]
Hojo Natsuki: “!!!”
Wonderful!
Zero Meow's suffering will continue!
Hojo Natsuki turned off the screen and cast an expectant gaze toward Kurosawa Jin outside the window. The other party had just finished a phone call and walked in to meet his gaze.
Kurosawa Jin: “What’s wrong?”
"Let's go to the exhibition." Xia Shu wagged his tail.
Kurosawa Jin: “Oh.”
Before getting up and leaving, Hojo Natsuki glanced at the other untouched ice drink on the table.
It looks very nice, with distinct layers of sea blue, and is covered with dense milk foam. It is called something like "XXX's Bay", which sounds poetic but its meaning is unclear.
He also knew that Kurosawa Jin didn't drink, so he ordered two cups out of politeness.
"Do you want to drink?" asked Hojo Natsuki.
Kurosawa shook his head coldly.
So, Xia Shu happily leaned over to take a sip and commented, "Hmm... it tastes terrible."
Kurosawa Jin glanced at him, but contrary to his usual behavior, he picked up the goblet and took a sip of the drink he described as "very unpalatable" - using the straw he had used.
Then, the silver-haired man frowned slightly, his disdain obvious.
Hojo Natsuki: “… ?”
Well, how weird!
Didn’t you just say you didn’t want to drink
There were two other people who were as confused as he was.
Hattori Heiji, who happened to be looking over at the table diagonally, said: "????"
Kudo Shinichi was confused: "... What on earth is that expression on your face?"
