Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

Huh? Wait a minute, why do I feel a chill on my body?

Just as Luo Tian was dreaming about the future, he suddenly realized that his shirt had been ripped off without his knowledge.

Wow, Luo Tian, ​​your skin is so fair! Even when I was little, my skin wasn't as white as yours!

Ran Mouri squatted down, grinning like a weird uncle, her hands moving all over Luo Tian's body.

Hey! What do you think you're doing?! No! I'm still a child!

(Please, please, flowers, votes, and all sorts of other things!)

Chapter 4: Identity Exposed? Time to Show Off Your Skills!

　"Wait! No!"

In the bathroom, Luo Tian let out a heart-wrenching scream, trying to protect his innocence.

Of course, it would be more convincing if he could prove it with concrete actions.

"Xiao Luo! Stop fooling around!"

Ran Mouri gently comforted Luo Tian while pulling at his clothes.

It drizzled a little on the way back, and she noticed the child was a bit dirty, so she wanted to give him a bath. But since he was still young, she just wanted to help.

Although I would occasionally pinch Luo Tian's chubby, bouncy cheeks and touch his skin, which was even smoother than my own, it was an irresistible urge!

Comforting herself with this thought, the enthusiastic girl continued with what she was doing.

Just as she took off her top and was preparing to move down, an accident occurred.

"Yamete!"

Luo Tian got a little too into character and accidentally blurted out something a child shouldn't know, using a rather strange tone.

This made Ran Mouri frown.

You can't say things like that!

She wasn't angry; she just assumed that Luo Tian had grown up in a bad environment and had picked up some bad habits, so she patiently educated him.

"But that lazy uncle downstairs was clearly saying something!"

Luo Tian tilted his head back and said the most innocent words with the most naive expression.

However, the useless middle-aged man who was blamed for the mistake ended up in big trouble.

"Oh—to—san!!!"

Almost through gritted teeth, Ran Mouri squeezed out those three syllables and threw a punch, slamming it hard against the bathroom wall.

Luo Tian's eyes twitched, and a bead of cold sweat immediately slid down his forehead.

A tile on the wall behind them cracked open and fell down in pieces.

If that hit me—ouch!

But the girl seemed oblivious to this.

At that moment, she was thinking about how to punish that useless father for saying such things in front of the children.

Don't they know this will set a bad example for children?!

It's decided! The punishment is a month without drinking beer!

She was very satisfied with this punishment, which allowed her to control her drinking and maintain her health while also making her cleaning tasks much easier.

[Ding! Mission complete. Congratulations, host, for saving Kogoro Mouri's beer supply for a month. Reward: Strength Pill, Antidote for Drug A (3-minute version), automatically used.]

[Power Pill: As the name suggests, it's small but has great strength; you should definitely need it.]

[Antidote A (3-minute version): This is what you need more. Although it's only three minutes, a lot can be accomplished in three minutes, right?]

Huh? This counts?

Seeing the girl's angry expression and hearing the system's notification, Luo Tian knew all too well how much damage his words of shifting blame had caused Kogoro Mouri.

But the problem is, he didn't intend to scam anyone this time!

But never mind, a reward is always good... Wait a minute!

Luo Tian's expression changed, as he suddenly realized something.

The super-strength pills are one thing, but if the antidote for drug A also activates automatically, wouldn't that be...?

Before he could react, a burning sensation swept over his entire body.

He was familiar with this feeling; it was the same when he shrunk in the amusement park before.

Perhaps it's because of the system's production, but he didn't experience the pain when he grew bigger or smaller. Could it be that there's some difference between this and the A drug produced by the winery?

No! Now is not the time to think about these things!

Turning her gaze to Ran Mouri, the girl, unsurprisingly, witnessed this unbelievable scene and showed an expression of utter astonishment, her mouth agape in an "O" shape.

A scream was about to burst forth.

"Wait! Don't shout yet!"

Luo Tian quickly covered her mouth and pulled her into his arms.

"No! No!"

As expected of a karate master, Ran Mouri struggled fiercely.

If it weren't for the super-strength pills that automatically gave him extra strength, Luo Tian would have doubted whether he would have been killed instead.

"Don't scream! I mean no harm. I'll explain everything to you right away. If you agree, I'll let go?"

Luo Tian had no intention of hiding his identity; otherwise, what difference would there be between him and Shinichi Kudo?

I hadn't figured out what to say, but now that it's been brought up unexpectedly, I might as well just be honest.

"Ok!"

Ran Mouri blushed and nodded.

Because the person wasn't wearing a shirt, and there was only one layer of clothing between them, the direct tactile sensation made her very shy.

More importantly, under the influence of the golden finger, she felt a wonderful sensation on her chin and cheeks, like applying a high-end face mask or enjoying a massage.

If the situation weren't so inappropriate, she would have loved to enjoy herself a little longer!

Seeing that she agreed, Luo Tian tentatively let go of her hand.

The girl immediately shrank into a corner of the bathroom like a frightened kitten, and the two kept a certain distance from each other.

Fortunately, she didn't continue shouting or show off her superior martial arts skills; she simply looked at Luo Tian with a surprised and suspicious gaze.

"First of all, I didn't lie. I really came to Mika to find my relatives. You can call Aunt Yukiko to confirm this."

Luo Tian sat down on the edge of the bathtub, organizing his thoughts.

Without revealing his transmigration and the system, he had to slightly embellish his origins.

"Then...why would you..."

Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment, then widened and narrowed the distance between her palms to express what she wanted to say.

What she just witnessed was so astonishing that she couldn't even find the words to describe it.

"The truth is, it's because I was attacked by bad guys!"

"Attacked by bad guys?!"

"That's right!"

Under the expectant gaze of the girl, Luo Tian slowly began to tell a story.

That's the story of a girl who lost both her parents and finally came to Mika, only to be tricked into joining a criminal organization by bad guys.

The protagonist of the story, who is himself, goes to great lengths to investigate and uncover the organization's criminal evidence in order to expose its conspiracy.

As a result, he was discovered by the other party in an accident and forced to drink a deadly poison.

"Then it seems that the poison did not work, but instead turned me back into the child I was just now."

“…oo…”

Tilting her head, Ran Mouri seemed to be listening to a foreign language, so shocked by Luo Tian's story that she almost cried. She pouted and her eyes were filled with tears.

The naive girl has already believed it!

After all, Luo Tian's residence permit is genuine, and Yukiko can confirm this, so there's no need to tell such an easily exposed lie.

As for the criminal organization part, she believed it even more!

After all, apart from organizations that conduct dangerous research, how could someone suddenly turn into a child out of nowhere?

That's not how it's always portrayed in movies!

"Then why didn't you explain earlier?"

Returning to her thoughts, the clever girl pointed out another blind spot.

Why didn't you just say it? You made me hug him for so long, do *that* kind of thing, and almost shower with him!

Ugh! I'm so embarrassed!

As the girl spoke, she covered her burning face with her hands.

With their vision obscured, no one noticed that Luo Tian's body was beginning to change again.

"Because my memories seem to have become confused after I shrunk, and... it also..."

Ran Mouri only let go of his hand and looked over when the sound became intermittent.

But they discovered that sitting on the edge of the bathtub was a handsome and cute little boy.

"Sister Xiaolan, weren't you going to take a bath? Why are you sitting over there?"

Chapter 5 Xiaolan's Ultimate Lucky System

Ran Mouri ultimately failed to kick Luo Tian out and instead allowed him to stay in her home.

She already understood the meaning of that last sentence.

It seems that after shrinking, Luo Tian's memories and cognition also change, becoming no different from those of a normal child, or even more strange.

I have no recollection of shrinking.

Of course, this was all an act by Luo Tian; he didn't want to continue living on the streets.

It's best to keep it a secret until you find a place to stay.

So the kind-hearted girl kept the little boy at home.

However, the perk of showering together is definitely gone.

Despite her childlike appearance, the girl's reserve prevented her from facing a man who was actually around her age.

I simply helped with the preparations and then left the bathroom.

However, the fleeting glimpse before she left stirred up a huge wave of emotions in her heart, which had just begun to calm down.

So, this is definitely not a normal child!

With this thought in mind, Ran Mouri hurriedly fled into her room, grabbing a notebook and fanning herself to try and dispel the heat from her face.

But the burning sensation inside me only grew stronger.

Ugh!!! Seriously!!! (/)u()

Stomping her feet in frustration, the girl thought she might not be able to sleep tonight!

Thinking about sleep, she suddenly realized a new problem: although she had brought him back, where should he sleep tonight?

There are only two bedrooms in the house. Are you suggesting that Xiao Luo sleep with her father?

No way! Ran Mouri knows very well how terrible her father's sleeping posture is when he's drunk! If he sleeps in the same bed, he might be kicked off; if he sleeps on the floor, he might be stepped on.

Let him sleep in the living room? No way! A kind-hearted girl couldn't do something so heartless!

Does that mean I have to sleep in my own room?

The girl's room wasn't very spacious. After deducting the space occupied by the single bed, bookshelf, and desk, there was only a small area left to move around in.

It's enough to hold a set of bedding.
