Chapter 259 One thoughtful older brother!
"These are things that should not be said to children."
With a wry smile, Yoruichi Kuromon rubbed his forehead, roughly brushing his bangs that were obscuring his vision back, making his sincere gaze even clearer: "But I know that Mitsuhiko, you are different from the others."
A gentle, broad hand, seemingly capable of encompassing everything, softly patted his shoulder, a warm current flowing into his heart. Mitsuhiko's eyes widened.
“You are a very outstanding but also very precocious child. You understand many things at such a young age, so I want to treat you as an equal adult.”
Seeing that Mitsuhiko did not show any resistance, Kuromon Yōya continued, "I am not encouraging you to separate from them, but rather suggesting that you temporarily go and see a bigger world."
Since your current environment is making you feel lost, why not follow your heart and distance yourself from things that make you uncomfortable?
Mitsuhiko hesitated for a moment: "But if I did that, wouldn't I be betraying everyone?"
“This is not betrayal.” Kuromon Haruya shook his head slightly. “It’s because you are too sensible and too considerate.”
"Am I being too sensible...?"
"Yes, she's so sensible it breaks my heart."
Mitsuhiko, you are marginalized and your strengths are ignored in the team, yet you still care about other people's feelings and opinions. You are truly very considerate.
In comparison, people pay far too little attention to you. It would be unfair to expect you to be understanding.
Kuromon Haruya stretched out his hand, clenched his fist, then opened it, and a candy magically lay in his palm: "We can't just let the crying child get the candy, right?"
The transparent, golden candy wrapper, so thin it's almost fragile, shimmers brilliantly in the sunlight.
Mitsuhiko suddenly felt like crying and felt very wronged. For some reason, he suddenly thought of himself.
Even if he is not as good as Conan in some aspects, he also wants to shine with his own brilliance, just like the candy wrapper.
That's so unfair.
This is the first time in his life that someone has spoken of the injustice he has suffered.
Within the Detective Boys, he's not as carefree as Genta, who's content as long as he doesn't make mistakes, nor is he as naive as Ayumi, who's easily forgiven. And he's nowhere near as quick-witted and reliable as Conan Haibara!
He was just a pitiful wretch, caught between the "halo of genius" and the "ordinary child," struggling desperately!
Unbeknownst to them, the shape of the candy wrapper began to blur and ripple. Several dark spots appeared on the concrete steps.
While keeping an eye on the bird's nest in the treetop, Kuromon Haruya placed the candy and tissue in Mitsuhiko's palm: "This candy has jam filling, so be careful when you eat it."
"Hmm..." Mitsuhiko replied in a muffled voice, taking the candy. "Then, Brother Kuromon, what should I do? I don't want everyone to know about this."
“This…” Kuromon Haruya blinked, somewhat hesitant.
He pondered for a moment, and just when Mitsuhiko thought that even he was powerless to help, he tentatively offered his services:
"If you don't mind, Mitsuhiko, I can try tutoring you outside of class. I happened to have lived in Hawaii for a while and did some tutoring work, but it's not as good as those truly elite courses..."
A spider silk thread hangs down from hell.
"I believe you!" Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up instantly.
Conan had repeatedly praised Kuromon's excellence during their conversations, not to mention his personal experience of interacting with him. It was out of a deep-seated belief that Mitsuhiko was willing to confide in Kuromon Haruya.
As it turned out, Haruya Kuromon did not let him down.
Sunlight shone on his smiling face. Through his blurred vision, a slender little finger reached out to him, accompanied by a soft yet firm vow:
"Let's pinky swear, and from now on, we'll overtake others on the curves and quietly amaze everyone else, okay?"
"Ok!"
Mitsuhiko hastily wiped his face, stuffed the candy into his mouth, and eagerly reached out to hook his hand tightly: "I must amaze everyone!"
Then, tears suddenly streamed down my face like a sudden downpour in the sweltering summer heat.
Because the candy that Kuromon Haruya gave her didn't have any filling.
"Waaah—Brother Kuromon! I also want to be recognized by everyone..."
......
After seeing off Mitsuhiko, who had almost covered him in snot and tears, Kuromon Haruya idly listened to the ideas of a few children.
After relieving himself, he stood up, massaged his legs and shoulders, crossed his arms overhead, and stretched.
"Mmm—"
Today's trip gave me a real taste of what it's like working at the grassroots level of the training department!
The training department is responsible for both recruiting and training personnel.
In a people-oriented organization, it is of paramount importance to replenish fresh blood in a timely manner. Therefore, the training department is also the hub with the most interaction with members of various departments in the organization.
The organization does not advertise for recruitment externally; it typically recruits members through internal referrals or by recruiting directly.
Internal referrals are limited to members at the internal level and above, and are an effective way to uproot an entire infiltrator network.
Self-selection is much more reliable. Usually, the screening personnel select suitable targets in advance, and then take the initiative to capture mature wild Pokémon or wild adults through various means.
For promising young talents, the training department typically recruits them from various universities through campus recruitment.
Every spring and autumn, the training department would arrange for members to posing as professional psychologists, using so-called mental health education to screen out job seekers who were capable but vulnerable.
— Within organizations, this practice is generally referred to as spring recruitment and autumn recruitment.
Haruya Kuromon did all this because he had his eye on Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya.
"After all, Aoyama Gosho has certified that this kid is even smarter than Shinichi at the same age!"
Hiroki might not be able to control Noah's Ark if he didn't die, but Mitsuhiko would be a different story.
If we put him under Rum's wing and train him for eleven years, the organization will have another high-quality, efficient employee.
No, if the training progresses quickly, maybe in a few years I'll be able to work part-time...
While pondering, Kuromon Haruya quietly moved to the back wall and asked, "Hey you behind the wall, the conversation is over. Do you still want to eavesdrop?"
The figure behind the wall paused, his breath caught in his throat.
"Or..."
A shadow loomed overhead, and Amuro Tooru looked up to face the lightly standing figure of Kuromon Haruya on the wall.
In the backlit figure, those bright green pupils, positioned at the top of the food chain, were fixed on the prey's throat: "Where did you come from, sending an acquaintance to seek revenge on me?"
murderous look!
Amuro Tooru's body tensed instantly.
There's no mistake, this is the murderous aura that only someone with blood on their hands can unleash!
"Oh, it's Mr. Amuro~"
Under Amuro Tooru's tense gaze, Kuromon Haruya leaped down the wall, his light footsteps making no sound except for a layer of dust. He was even wearing leather shoes.
This level of agility is beyond the reach of even some members of the organization, let alone ordinary people!
And the young man before me...
He casually put one hand in his pocket, holding a bag of candy in the other, wearing a shirt and jeans that offered no concealment for a weapon, and joked with a smile:
"What's wrong? Do you have some questions you'd like to ask me?"
