Stay away from Conan.

"Hey? What can I do?"

Hearing Xiao Ai say this, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he thought of what Kudo Yukiko said yesterday when she took out the "gold card" and handed it to him -

"If there is anything you want to do, take this opportunity..."

In this way, what Kudo Yukiko said seems very similar to what Ai is saying now.

and so……

"Still do not understand……"

Shaking his head, Kudo Shinichi still found it very difficult to understand the situation, and then asked:

"By the way, Haibara... you said you couldn't guarantee how long the drug's effectiveness would last... then, could you give me a few more antidotes? That way I can have a few more in case I need them?"

Kudo Shinichi thought about it and decided to take this opportunity to ask for a few more antidotes. Anyway, Mr. Akechi and Ai had given him those antidotes before, so it wouldn't make any difference now, right?

"Well..."

Listening to Kudo Shinichi's idea, Xiao Ai said indifferently:

"Let's talk about it based on the situation."

After Ai responded like this, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but sigh with regret, thinking that asking for the antidote was not that simple.

So, feeling very helpless, Kudo Shinichi said to Xiao Ai with a slightly depressed look:

"Habara, since you've already given me the antidote, it doesn't matter if you give me this little bit. Besides, after making this antidote, didn't you ever think about when you could return to your original form? Why are you trapped in this child's body forever?

"You should know that it is often inconvenient for children to do many things in this state!"

As he said this, Kudo Shinichi was naturally thinking that during the previous ghost ship incident, Ai must have taken the antidote. It was only because in that incident, Ai revealed that she had a new antidote that he later got those new antidotes.

But now, those antidotes are almost finished, and it is not certain how long the effect of the medicine will last. Even if I do what my mother said today, I have to prevent myself from changing back halfway.

In this way, Kudo Shinichi suggested to Ai:

"So, if I suddenly change back this time, it will be very troublesome!"

So, for Xiao Ai, this matter is not a big deal, she just said lightly:

"I will follow you this time. If there is anything unusual, I will naturally help you..."

——So, in the final analysis, you just don’t give me the antidote directly?

Faced with such a situation, Kudo Shinichi didn't know what to say. He just felt a little sleepy and prepared to take a nap to see if Xiaolan would come over in the morning.

Anyway, it seems that according to what my mother and Huiyuan said, I don't have to worry about Xiaolan discovering my identity...

……

In the morning, when Xiaolan arrived at Kudo's house, looking at the house in front of her and thinking about how Kudo Shinichi looked when she met him yesterday, Xiaolan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Then after she took a long breath and calmed down, she reached out and pressed the doorbell in front of Kudo's house.

Then, after waiting for a while, Xiaolan saw Kudo Shinichi yawning, casually wearing a white shirt, walking out of the house and opening the door for Xiaolan.

"You're here, Xiaolan..."

This looked like he hadn't had enough rest, which made Xiaolan ask in surprise:

"Shinichi...didn't you get enough rest?" So, hearing this, Kudo Shinichi said with a slightly depressed look:

"That's about it... Mainly Conan. He kept asking me stories about investigating the case all night, so I chatted with him until very late, and this is what happened..."

So, as for the reason why he was so sleepy, Kudo Shinichi immediately blamed it on Conan.

"This, this is it..."

After listening to Kudo Shinichi's explanation, Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and then asked:

"So, what about Conan? He doesn't stay up late too, does he? That's not good..."

"Yes, you have to take good care of him when the time comes!"

Kudo Shinichi responded naturally and led Xiaolan into the Kudo house.

After entering here, Xiaolan looked at this familiar room, but it was the first time in a long time that she saw the owner of this room was also here, which made Xiaolan feel a little disappointed——

Come to think of it, after that time a long time ago, in Dorobiga Amusement Park, when Shinichi said he had something to investigate and disappeared, it's been so long since I've stayed at Shinichi's house again.

During this period of time, every time I came here occasionally, it was just because the house had not been taken care of for a long time, so I came here to clean it up. And one of the times, I happened to meet Senior Mami coming over...

Although Shinichi had appeared several times during this period, they were always related to the incidents. As soon as the incident ended, Shinichi disappeared again.

Think about it, it has been a long time since I returned to Shinichi's house after the case was over and had Shinichi around.

Therefore, although this seemed to be the same as before, it gave Xiaolan a long-lost strange and familiar feeling——

I really hope that days like this can always stay like this...

——"Sister Xiaolan, you are here?"

Just as Xiaolan was feeling nostalgic about the current situation, Conan suddenly came down from upstairs, yawning. After seeing Xiaolan, he greeted her naturally. Xiaolan came back to her senses and responded to Conan:

"Morning, Conan..."

In this way, Xiaolan looked at Conan and Kudo Shinichi in front of her, and thought that now in Shinichi's house, there were only three of them. She felt a little dazed, and inexplicably, she felt a sense of hope -

But, if everything could stay like this forever, maybe it would be nice...

but……

Xiaolan felt a little melancholy in her heart, but she kept a relaxed look on her face, and then asked Kudo Shinichi:

"By the way, Shinichi, how long do you plan to stay this time? Or...just stay as normal?"

"This one……"

As if he was stumped by Xiaolan's question, Kudo Shinichi hoped to keep this state forever, instead of living like Conan, but...

Although he has the antidote for Ai, Kudo Shinichi knows that if he can't completely solve the organization's troubles, this matter will never end... (End of this chapter)
