Shinichi nods, reaching a hand out for me to take. Napakagat nalang ako sa labi ko.
Okay lang kaya to? Magsinungaling kay Shinichi? Naoabuntong hininga nalang ako saka walang nagawa kundi ang lumabas sa pinagtataguan ko, Napansin kong nalaglag na baba yung medyas ko kaya itinaas ko ito pagkatayo ko.
Shocks nakalimutan kong magpalit ng medyas.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito magisa Mari-chan?" He Tinignan niya muna yung buing lugat bago ako tignan. Napaiwas naman ako ng tingin sa kanya hbang hinihila ko yung damit ko. What's a valid reason for a child to seek out a detective agency? Because they're taught to go there when they've got a problem or need an adult... Why does I need an adult.
Tama!
"Oto-san(father) said to go to find a police officer if I ever get lost. And detectives are part of the police, right? So I came to find a detective." Pag papa cute na sabi ko. Gumana ka! Gumana ka!
"Di ka ba natakot?" Inilingan ko siya "Pero walang Detective dito ngayon. Punta nalang kaya tayo ng Police?"
but I doesn't want to involve the police at all - they'll find me out almost as quickly as Shinichi would. They're not stupid. Nakakainis naman. If only I hadn't shrunk, this wouldn't be a problem on my mind. What I need, is to be myself again.
Wait. I knows someone who could help!!
Shinichi's next door neighbour, Professor Agasa is a scientist. If I tell him about the poison that shrunk me maybe he'll be able to make an antidote. If I send the professor a text message pleading him to act as if Edogawa Mari is a relative of his, I might be able to convince Shinichi not to go to the police, while giving me the opportunity to talk to her about it.
Tama ganun nalang siguro ang gagawin ko!
"Pwede mag Cr?" I asked
Shinichi hesitates, it's not his house, but he nods, pointing to the bathroom. "Okay lang sige andoon yung toilet oh"
Mabilis akong nagpunta sa loob ng CR. Removing my large socks and sending a text to professor agasa. Sinabi ko na mag panggap nalang muna siya na kamag anak niya si Edogawa Mari.I'm washing my hands when his response -
"𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢"
Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. Buti nalang at masusuportahan niya ako sa ngayon
Shinichi turns to me when I emerges from the bathroom. He's standing by the door, having slipped his shoes back on. "Okay ka na?"
Lumapit ako sa kanya saka medyo nagpacute. Yung parang bata talaga. Honestly, I hate myself doing this pero anong magagawa ko? "May naalala po ako! Oto-san said I'm staying with my great uncle for a while! I was playing though so I got lost when following Oto-san's directions to his house."
"Oh! Mas maigi yun. What if going to him now?" Shinichi says, breathing a sigh of relief. Npangiti nalang ako sa imahinasyon ko saka ko sinuot yung sapatos ko. Buti naka sneak ako maliit na medyas na ginagamit ko noon kaya di problema.
"Opo! I can't wait to see Professor Agasa again!" Masayang sabi ko. Alam kong nadinig niya ang pagkasabi ko ng 'Professor Agasa' nagsimula na kaming bumaba sa hagdanan nun
"Si Agasa Hiroshi ba?" Shinichi asks, as he reaches the bottom step. The road is bright, lit up but the streetlamps littered against the streets. "Scientist na kung ano anong basura ang ginagawa?"
Lifting my head to see him - he's seems so tall now, like a giraffe. Oarang nung nakaraan lang kaya ko siyang titigan sa mata, pero ngayon, para siyang higante. Ang hirap palang maging bata - I nods, lips parted slightly in at nagkunwaring nagulat ako. "How did you know?"
