Chapter 163: Hiroki becomes smaller
Ze Yu once said that he wanted to recommend a suitable friend to Hiroki so that he would not continue to be lonely.
That person, of course, is Conan.
Ze Yu really wants to save Hiroki, this poor and lonely child. Otherwise, he is afraid that Hiroki might suffer from depression if he is alone for too long.
Although Hiroki has a mature personality and is unlikely to develop this disease given his condition, one can never be sure.
Sometimes, the more mature a person is, the more fragile they are inside. Perhaps a small thing can make them completely collapse.
Although Hiroki seems mature, he has actually been on the verge of depression. Otherwise, in the original work, he would not have chosen to end his life.
Is it that he doesn't value his own life enough?
No, it's just that he feels desperate about life.
If he was full of hope for life, how could he make that choice?
Ze Yu wants to avoid the plot of the original work from repeating itself, and the best way is to get this lonely child's life back on track.
Let him go to school and go home from school like an ordinary child, and have a group of sincere friends around him.
Sawaha dares to guarantee that Teitan Elementary School is definitely Hiroki's best choice for schooling. The group of sincere and lovely children in the first-grade class B will definitely become Hiroki's most trusted friends.
In fact, Sawaha had wanted to introduce them to each other a long time ago. The reason why he waited until today to come to find Hiroki instead of introducing the Junior Detective League to him at the beginning was to leave some buffer time for Hiroki to adapt to life in Tokyo.
Once Hiroki has almost readapted to the pace of life in Tokyo, Sawaha will come to fulfill his promise and introduce Conan and the others to him.
Today, Ze Yu felt that the time was almost right, so he rushed over.
Seeing that Hiroki was still the same without any change, Ze Yu felt a little sorry for the child, and at the same time, he became more determined in his thoughts.
He must make Hiroki a new transfer student in the first-grade Class B, become friends with Conan and the others, and join the Junior Detective League at the same time.
The lively atmosphere in the Junior Detective League is so contagious that it can even infect Haibara Ai, and Hiroki should be no exception.
The infectiousness of Genta and Ayumi can definitely make this lonely child become normal.
This is what Ze Yu thought.
"Is your father not at home? Why don't I see him?" Ze Yu, who was sitting opposite the sofa, asked.
"He went out to buy groceries." Hiroki said, with a smile on his delicate face: "Brother Yu, why did you come to see me this time? Is there something?"
Hiroki is a rather introverted person. He seldom smiles since he was a child. There are very few people who can make him smile, and coincidentally, Ze Yu is one of them.
In Hiroki's heart, there are two people he cares about the most now, one is his father, and the other is naturally Sawaha.
Of these two people, one is his closest relative, and the other is his best elder and friend, or a friend regardless of age.
"Why? I can't come to see you if I'm fine?" Ze Yu said with some blame, but his words were full of smiles, and there was no sign of blame at all.
"Of course not, I just think that Brother Yu is so busy that if there is nothing important, he won't spare the time to come and see me." Hiroki explained with a wry smile.
Hiroki is a very smart child, so he naturally wouldn't think that Ze Yu came to play with him because he had nothing to do today. "Sure enough, smart children are hard to fool." Ze Yu said with a little helplessness.
Of course, the 'smart kids' he refers to does not include Conan. Although Conan is also very smart, he has been fooled by Ze Yu and believes Ze Yu's words very much, so of course it does not count.
Compared to Hiroki, Conan is easier to fool and is at the entry level for beginners.
Compared to Conan, the shrunken detective, Hiroki, the real child, is calmer and smarter.
This is not an exaggeration. Hiroki is able to research artificial intelligence, and his IQ is absolutely off the charts. There is a high probability that he has surpassed Conan or even Kaito.
Although it is said that everyone has their own expertise and that detectives and people who study artificial intelligence are different and difficult to compare, it is not difficult to guess that Conan's IQ is not as good as Hiroki's.
Compared to this, Conan seems a little incompetent, but this is not Conan's fault, but because Hiroki is too strong.
If we put it another way, Conan wouldn't seem incompetent. After all, Hiroki is the smartest person with the highest IQ in Conan's world. No one's IQ can surpass his, not even Kaito.
It's not shameful that Conan loses to Hiroki in terms of IQ.
Even Ze Yu, his IQ is usually not as good as Hiroki's. Only when he gets serious can his IQ surpass Hiroki.
All in all, this is a very difficult child to fool.
Ze Yu decided to tell the truth and said with a smile: "Okay, I came to see you today because I do have something."
A look of understanding appeared on Hiroki's calm face and he nodded slightly.
Ze Yu's reaction was within his expectations.
"Remember what I told you before?" Ze Yu reminded: "When you return to Tokyo, I will introduce you to a suitable friend."
"Of course I remember. In fact, I have been waiting for Brother Yu's answer." Hiroki replied: "I remember that the child's name is 'Edogawa Conan', living in the Maori Detective Agency, and is Maori Kogoro's assistant, right?"
Recently, Hiroki has investigated information about Conan. For him, a computer expert, he can get a lot of information by just searching on the Internet.
Kogoro Mouri is a celebrity, and Conan Edogawa, who has always been by his side, can barely be considered a kid with some fame.
After investigating his information, Hiroki subconsciously felt that it was a bit strange, but he did not delve further into it.
According to the information in the data, Conan is a smart child, his IQ even exceeds that of most adults, but Hiroki thinks this is normal.
In fact, such smart and gifted children are not uncommon. After all, Hiroki himself is the best example. He was just one step away from inventing artificial intelligence. There is no need to say more about his off-the-charts IQ.
Regarding what Zeyu said, that he wanted to introduce Conan to him as a friend, although Hiroki felt a little confused about this, he would not contact Conan in advance before Zeyu came.
Hiroki is very obedient. He waits for Zeyu to arrange everything and he will not act on his own.
"Yes, it's him." The smile on Ze Yu's face seemed somewhat meaningful. He flipped his palm lightly and took out a bottle of green potion.
"Hiroki, do you want to be a few years younger?"
