……

"That... I'm Riho Kirishima, who recently moved to famous mountains. Please take care of me in the future!"

Facing several boys in the classroom, Lifan introduced himself to everyone shyly.

"Eh...you're lying! Such a beautiful girl would actually join our club..."

"Xiu Yi-kun, why did you suddenly bring such a beautiful girl here? Could it be that you..."

……

Facing the gossip of his companions, Li Fan couldn't help but shyly glanced at Lin Xiu, and Lin Xiu hurriedly explained to everyone:

"Don't think too much, I just mentioned to Li Fan about the deduction detective agency a little bit. It seems that Li Fan had some bad memories in the previous club, so she learned some things about pushing our club. After the situation, Li Fan became very interested in the Detective Detective Agency. So, if you have no opinion, Li Fan will be one of us in the future, please give us a round of applause!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

With the untidy applause coming from the classroom, Li Fan bowed his head and bowed to everyone again, but when Li Fan was about to ask the reasoning detective agency again, Lin Xiuyi raised his head and looked at a wall time, and then said to Li Fan with a solemn look:

"Then, I'll leave the following matters to you, Lifan-san!"

"Eh!"

"Please don't leave this activity classroom before school is over. Other than that, you can do whatever you like. Also, if a teacher checks here, please make this call immediately, and we will be right back. That's all!"

"Nani? You are... this is..."

"Please, Lifan-san..."

"Please!"

"Don't forget... don't let the teacher find out that we left school!"

……

Before Li Fan could come over, four or five boys in the classroom opened the windows and jumped out of the windows one by one. Out of curiosity, Li Fan followed quickly, only to see This group of members who I just met actually took a personal ladder and climbed out from the school's fence. Then, they took off their school uniforms one by one and threw them at Lifan!

"please!"

Seeing the boys disappearing on the wall one by one, Lifan, who was holding a lot of boys' shirts, was let go by everyone on the first day of the deduction detective agency!

……

"That's too much! You guys left me alone in the classroom that afternoon."

"Haha... I'm so sorry! I didn't expect you to remember that day!"

"The first time you participated in the activities of the Detective Detective Agency, you asked me to cover up your truancy. Why do you believe me so? Are you really afraid that I will tell the teacher about truancy?"

"Probably because Li Fan seemed very reliable at the time! However, I still want to thank you for helping us hide things back then. Thank you so much!"

"By the way, the reason why you escaped from the school club activities and went outside was actually to go to work at the gas station!"

"Hey! At that time, I finally found a part-time job at the gas station. Because I was going to study at the cram school at night, I had to use the time during club activities to earn some pocket money! However, now I think of everyone back then. Do I really miss the situation when we worked together?"

"Yeah! I also miss the reasoning detective agency back then? By the way, did the two of you still have contact later?"

"Well... I occasionally found time to get together when I was in college, but after graduating, everyone went their separate ways because of work!"

"Eh... that's really a pity! If there is a chance in the future, will Shuichi-kun go to Mingshan High School to take a look?"

"Uh...if there is a chance, of course!"

……

Perhaps because they recalled some interesting things between the two of them in the past, Li Fan and Lin Xiuyi gradually let go of the strange feeling they had not seen for many years! Therefore, Lin Xiuyi also curiously asked the reason why Li Fan strongly requested to join the detective agency.

"That... In fact, I have always wondered why Li Fan would like to stay in the Detective Detective Club? It stands to reason that Li Fan should know what is going on after only one contact with a club like ours that does not live up to its name. Well! But..."

"Is that so! Actually... our family moved from Tokyo to Kagoshima because of my father, and I joined a piano club at my previous school. It was probably because of the private school. Everyone is always in a competitive relationship. When the piano club is active, everyone is busy with their own affairs, and no one wants to lose to the other in practice. I am not used to that kind of tense atmosphere, on the contrary It's a lighthearted detective and inference agency, it makes me feel more comfortable!"

"So that's how it is!"

Hearing Li Fan's remarks, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but think of his younger sister who was about to enter a higher school. Maybe Rena-chan will encounter the same troubles soon!

……

Lin Xiuyi and Li Fan's glass of wine didn't end until the tram was about to stop running. After the two came out of the izakaya, Lin Xiuyi called a taxi for Li Fan, and then said goodbye to each other.

"Xiu Yi-kun, thank you so much for your hospitality this time. If you have the opportunity in the future, welcome Xiu Yi-kun to come and see where I work!"

"Well... I will definitely go if I have the chance. I remember Li Fan said that he was working in a gallery in Ginza~lightnovelpub.net~ Right?"

"Hey, it's a newly opened store in Ginza, called Rose Palace! In fact, the real owner of this store is Ekaterina, and I'm just helping her run it. Because Ekaterina has a lot to do with Japan. I’m not very familiar with it, so I’m still mainly in charge at the moment, if Xiu Yi-jun has time in the future, you can come and take a look at any time…”

"Is it the Rose Palace? It seems to be a famous gallery!"

"Huh? Xiu Yi-kun has heard of it too, that's great! I thought Xiu Yi-kun wasn't very interested in art or something?"

"Ah... I've only heard of the name of the Rose Palace. I'm completely a layman when it comes to art!"

When Li Fan expressed her gratitude to Lin Xiuyi again, she got into the car. Waving goodbye to Lin Xiuyi, Lin Xiuyi stood there and watched Li Fan leave in the car, then he turned around and walked towards the station in front of him.

When the car was turning around the corner, Li Fan watched Lin Xiuyi's back gradually receding through the car window. He couldn't help but think of Lin Xiuyi's back when he left after the graduation ceremony. In Lifan's memory, the departed boy represented all the fantasies of Lifan's girlhood, and Lifan originally thought that he would never see this man again in this life!

"Oh... it would be great if he didn't have a girlfriend!"
