NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: Chapter 5 OG
Shockingly, according to the civil registry, I was homeless. Well, since I live in the abandoned school, it's normal to call myself a homeless person. And it's also good to know that my record exists, since if it didn't exist, it'll be annoying to explain how I ended up here to the police. And even if I explain it, they'll never believe me. They'll think i'm crazy. I don't need that title, being homeless is enough for me.
After that, I went to eat some food and went back to the Eikou Cram School.
Nothing much happened today beside meeting some of the main cast. Fortunately I don't have the same Conan's protagonist aura that wherever he goes, there'll be some kind of case involved.
By the way, after spending some money, I just realized that 'i' have a lot of money in my bank account. It's enough for me to live another 10 or more years without worrying about money. And i'm really grateful with that. This way, I don't need to search for a job and just live however I want.
I also bought a phone on the way. It's just a normal flip phone, and there's nothing much I can do with it. I can connect to the internet, but at this time there's nothing much to search.
After pondering for awhile while lying down, my eyes closed and i fall asleep.
The next day i woke up, it's already 9am. Now that i have phone, i can check what time it is.
After showering, i decided to go out. Well there's nothing much i can do in the abandoned school, so I have no choice but to go out. Besides, now i'm in the Conan world. It'll be my loss if i'm not looking around.
While looking around, I found some stores that sell food. Since I hadn't eaten breakfast, I decided to buy some snacks. It doesn't count as breakfast, but well, whatever. I just gonna get brunch later.
After walking for a while, i Saw familiar figure. One of them was a child with brown hair, and the other was a fat Man with white hair. It's Haibara Ai and Dr.Agasa.
"Hello, you two." Since i don't have anything to do, i decided to call them.
"Oh, Oshino-kun. It's been awhile."
"Yes, it's been awhile. Ai-chan too, it's been awhile." I said while patting her hair. As usual, she looks annoyed but didn't refuse. She wanted to refuse, but she decided to not refuse it. Probably because she's in a child body so to make not her look suspicious. Besides, they just meet Twice. Probably if they meet more often in the future, she'll become more bolder.
"Where are you two going?"
"We are going to my acquaintance. He likes to collect old clocks, and one of the clocks has a problem. So he asked me if I could repair it."
"But what is Ai-chan doing here? Doesn't she have school?"
"It's a holiday, so it's normal to not go to school." Haibara Ai said.
Oh, right. I forgot that time in this world is weird. And I also forgot to check the day from my phone. Better check it next time.
"I see." I said. "Btw, can i join you guys? I am also interested in old clocks. So I want to see what kind of clock there."
"I don't mind. It's not like the owner forbid the other to look at his collection anyway. Just keep in mind not to damage them."
With that decided I follow them.
When we arrived at the house, we rang the bell. Shortly after, the door opened. The one who open the door was a man wearing glasses. He has broom on his hand, shows that he in the middle of cleaning the house.
"Excuse me, who are you guys?"
"My name is Hiroshi Agasa. Takamine-san called me to fix his clock."
"Ah, yes, Takamine-sama already told me about you. Let's go inside first."
As soon as we enter the house, the atmosphere feels different. The ticking sound from the clocks are filling the house. When we arrived at the waiting room, we Saw a lot of clock. Though the clocks in the waiting room are not that impressive, it is still nice to see. Maybe the clocks inside the collector room are more impressive, i can't wait to see.
I don't lie when i interested in old clock. Though it is just because of curiosity, after seeing the clock in here, i can't help myself to get little excited of seeing the owner's collection.
While we waiting for the servant to comeback, we suddenly hear someone screaming.
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
Hearing the scream, we decided to go the the source of the sound. When we arrived, we saw the servant on the floor with frightened face, looking inside the room.
When we check in the room, we Saw the dead body of the owner of this house, Takamine Genzo.
