Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 8 Xia He's Baby Care

Oops, I forgot to stop!

If an ordinary one-year-old baby has a strength of only two points at most, then Xia He, who now has a strength of 5 points, is no different from an ordinary kindergarten... or even first grade child.

"Be good~~Don't cry~"

Xia He quickly stepped forward to calm Shinichi down.

However, Shinichi didn't give Xia He any face at all, and instead cried even louder.

Xia He: "."

No buddy, aren’t you known as the savior of the Japanese police and the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era?
Why did you start crying just because you hit your head a little?

Not brave at all!
What's more, the edges of the tables in my house are wrapped with tape by my dad.

Xia He covered his forehead with his hand speechlessly.

"Wow--!"

"Don't cry, aren't you Ultraman? How can an Ultraman cry after being beaten by a monster?"

I don’t know if it’s because of this month’s hard study, but Xia Hebu’s vocabulary has not only increased, but he can also speak much more fluently than before.

Similarly, when Shinichi heard this, he immediately bit his upper lip with his lower lip and forced back his tears.

Seeing this, Xia He seized the opportunity and started pretending to be a monster again.

"Wow~~┗|｀O′|┛"

"biubiubiubiu!" Shinichi then made a laser shooting gesture.

"Ah!" Xia He fell to the ground immediately.

"Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle~~"

When Shinichi's laughter rang out, Xia He, who was lying on the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But after he breathed a sigh of relief, he reacted suddenly.

No, how come I am the one taking care of the child?
I am only one year old!
He got up from the ground, feeling very embarrassed.

Then...

"Xia He, monster~"

"Wow~~"

"biubiubiu!"

"what!"

"Xia He, monster~"

"Wow~~"

"biubiubiu!"

"what!"

"..."

Repeated more than ten times.

Shinichi finally calmed down until Xia He was sweating from exhaustion.

But who knew that before he had time to rest.

"Xia He..."

"what happened again?"

"I... peed my pants..."

"what?"

Looking down with some surprise at Shinichi's wet crotch, Xia He felt as if his whole body was about to fail.

……

Soon, five minutes later.

After changing Shinichi's diaper, Xia He began to doubt his life.

No, man.

I'm three months younger than you, can't you act like a brother?
If I need to change my pants, you should be the one helping me!
Couldn't help but shook his head.

Then, he glanced at Shinichi who was still full of energy. Just as he was worrying about how to get rid of this trouble, his sight suddenly fell on the black grapes placed on the coffee table.

Then he had an idea, and immediately peeled one, removed the core, and handed it to Shinichi's mouth.

"Here, eat some grapes."

"Ah~"

Shinichi opened his mouth cooperatively and let Xia He put the grapes into his mouth.

"Bah, bah, bah, bah..."

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xia He asked while observing Shinichi's condition.

"tasty……"

As if he had taken sleeping pills, Shinichi immediately became quiet. After a while, he even lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

"This child is really allergic to grapes."

After verifying the conclusion, Xia He nodded with an expression that said, "It's just as I expected."

But that’s okay, now you won’t bother me anymore.

After taking a deep breath, Xia He, who was finally relieved, collapsed on the ground, leaned against the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest.

At this time, Rouwan also ran out of the room and gently rubbed Xia He's belly with his head.

Obviously, it also thinks that Kudo Shinichi is too annoying.

Unlike his little master, not only is his mood stable, but he also won't drag him to play some weird and stupid games.

Most importantly, Xia He would secretly give himself extra meals every day...

This is simply too nice, okay!
It felt that compared to an idiot kid like Shinichi, it was a blessing to have a little master like Xia He.

Thinking of this, Rouwan subconsciously rubbed against Xia He's arms again.

Xia He, who had no idea what was going on in Rouwan's dog's head, just stroked the dog's fur and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

But at the moment when his mind was completely empty...

[Unlock mission: Meditation]

[Cumulative meditation for 72 hours will give you a talent]

[Current meditation progress: 0min/4320min]

Huh?
Just get the talent directly?

No pre-quests this time?
Xia He straightened up.

But what does meditation mean?
He scratched his head uncertainly, then sat cross-legged on the ground according to his own understanding and emptied his mind again.

Not long after.

[Current meditation progress: 5min/4320min]

It’s like entering a state of meditation.

Xia He's small body just stood in front of the sofa, completely motionless.

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon.

Two hours had passed since the two housewives went out to buy groceries.

At the same time, the two children they left in the living room, one was sleeping soundly on the sofa, and the other was leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed, as if he was also asleep.

"The children seem tired from playing."

Seeing this, Kudo Yukiko and Sakunio Haruna smiled at each other, then walked forward and each picked up their own baby, planning to put the child to bed first and then go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Hey, why is there such a big swelling?"

Kudo Yukiko, who had just held up Shinichi's head with her hands, said with a puzzled look on her face.

……

It is still the residence of the Jiu Niang family.

Haruna Sakuno was wearing a facial mask and sitting sideways on the carpet, staring at the TV intently, while rubbing the joystick on a yellow board in front of her with both hands.

Xia He glanced at the board.

Of course he recognized that thing.

Nintendo’s recently launched game console – COLOR.TV.GAME15.

It is priced at 25000 yen and is the predecessor of the FC red and white console.

In July 1983, when the first third-generation game console, Family Computer, was released, it caused a huge sensation in the gaming industry with its low price and excellent quality.

Later, the emergence of two games, "Super Mario" and "Contra", led to an unprecedented gaming wave around the world.

It's just that it's now late 1978, which is still four or five years away from that time. Xia He really doesn't have much interest in the little games his mother is playing on TV.

Sakuno Haruna was having fun by herself, while Xia He continued to meditate on the side while his mother was playing games.

This went on for several days.

[You have completed the 'Meditation' task]

[Talent obtained: Absolute Focus]

[Absolute concentration: Even if it is something you are not interested in, you can still concentrate 100% on learning, and your learning efficiency is far higher than that of ordinary people]

"Absolute concentration..."

Xia He, who had already memorized Japanese vocabulary by heart with the help of [Photographic Memory], now had the blessing of [Absolute Concentration], so his learning became naturally easier.

Sure enough, it only took him two days to master all the grammar and logic he had learned.

It can be said that his current Japanese level is no different from that of an ordinary college student.
