Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 41 New sister?

Soon, Shuichi Akai was carried away by medical staff amid the long sound of sirens.

Miyano Akemi looked around, then took out her phone and dialed, "Sorry, I encountered something on the way, so I might be late... Well, it's nothing particularly important, just a little accident, don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Miyano Akemi started dialing the traffic management department's number again.

at the same time……

[Unlock mission: First encounter with Miyano Akemi]

[Exchange phone numbers with Akemi Miyano to receive rewards]

[Current progress: Not completed]

Xia He: "?"

No, what does Akai Shuichi’s encounter with this woman have to do with me, Sakuno Natsukazu?
Besides, if you say I'm seventeen or eighteen years old, there's nothing wrong with me approaching people and asking for their phone number.

But the key is that I am only twelve years old.

What girl would be interested in a little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet?

Xia He, standing in front of the zebra crossing, fell into deep thought.

About two minutes later.

Finally, he mustered up the courage, walked up to Miyano Akemi, and in front of her confused eyes, he conjured a rose out of thin air, "Beautiful lady, it's our first meeting. Could you please accept this flower that is as pleasing to the eye as you are?"

To be honest, in his two lifetimes, this was the first time that Xia He took the initiative to strike up a conversation with a strange woman.

Well, there is indeed a kind of... inexplicable sense of shame.

After taking a look at the "junior high school student" who suddenly appeared, Miyano Akemi felt a little puzzled, but out of politeness, she still smiled and took the flowers handed over by Xia He: "Thank you."

"You just got into such a serious car accident. You must have been scared by that person, right? Here, drink some juice to calm your nerves." As he said that, he conjured up a bottle of drink out of thin air and handed it to Miyano Akemi.

Seeing this, Miyano Akemi quickly stretched out her hand to refuse: "No, I'm not thirsty..."

However, Xia He took this opportunity to grab Miyano Akemi's hand and said, "Hey, how did your hand get hurt? I happened to have a band-aid with me. Wait a moment."

Miyano Akemi: “.”

What is this kid doing?
She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but somehow, seeing Xia Hena anxiously searching for a Band-Aid in his pocket, she gave up the idea for a moment.

Even his eyes softened.

Such a warm-hearted and kind child...

As she thought about it in her mind, she unconsciously developed some affection for Xia He.

After putting on the band-aid, seeing that the time seemed to be ripe, Xia He finally told his purpose, "Well, is it convenient for us to exchange phone numbers?"

"what?"

"Please don't misunderstand..."

Xia He, who had already thought of the wording, immediately took out his student ID and said, "I'm a third-year student at Teitan Junior High School. My name is Sakuno Xia He. I don't have any special meaning. It's just that you look too much like my deceased mother... my deceased sister, so..."

When the word "sister" was mentioned, a hint of sadness flashed across Xia He's face just right.

As the apprentice of Kaito Kid, he has naturally received professional training in acting.

Look, in less than a second, tears began to sparkle in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I really missed her too much." Seeing that he seemed to have lost his composure, Xia He quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and continued, "It's okay if you don't want to give it to me. I'm already very satisfied to see this familiar face again..."

"OK then."

Miyano Akemi immediately thought of her sister.

He lost his loved ones at such a young age. I guess he must have been in great pain, right?
After writing her phone number to Xia He, Miyano Akemi looked at Xia He with a hint of heartache in her eyes.

……

[You completed the mission: First encounter with Miyano Akemi]

[Reward: Spirit +1]

[Trigger the follow-up task: Get one step closer to Miyano Akemi]

[Gain the favor of Miyano Akemi, and if the accumulated favorability reaches 100, you can obtain a talent]

[Current favorability: 3/100]

What talent?
Is he another warm-hearted guy?

Xia Hexin said, who the hell wants to be a warm guy?
The warm man is behind the meatballs!

Also, last time it was Wakasa Rumi, this time it’s Miyano Akemi… “Isn’t this a strategy system?”

He complained quietly.

Then, he saved the four big words "Guangtian Masami" into the contacts.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I pressed the save button, I heard Shinichi's accusing voice behind me: "Okay, you tricked me into going to a cafe, and now this is what you're doing!"

He said this with an indignant look on his face, and his body language and tone became exaggerated, "What about Yuanzi? What's the difference between what you did and cheating! If she knew..."

Before he could finish, Xia He punched Shinichi on the head.

"Shut up."

Shinichi: "."

"Let Sister Liu Mei make you a lemon pie when we get home."

"For a week straight."

"make a deal."

……

"Sister Yamei, are you free this weekend? I want to invite you to visit Hokkaido."

"Ah? It's okay... I understand that you're busy with work."

"I've just been under a lot of academic pressure lately, so I kind of missed her."

"Although my parents are both abroad, I usually stay at home alone on weekends, and I often feel lonely and scared...but I've gotten used to it."

"I'm not sad at all, Sister Yamei, just do your thing and don't worry about me."

"..."

"Really?! Sister Yamei, you agree? Then it's a deal, see you this weekend!"

The phone is decisive.

Xia He continued watching TV with an expressionless face.

Wakasa Rumi and Nakatsuru Hirota, who witnessed the whole process, stared at him with very strange eyes.

"Who were you talking to on the phone just now?" asked Wakasa Rumi.

"Oh, an older sister I just met two weeks ago. She never came out every time I asked her out recently, so I could only put on a little show." Xia He answered without hiding anything.

However, when Wakasa Rumi heard this, she subconsciously narrowed her eyes.

Xia He...

Do you have another sister outside?
So she couldn't help asking, "Is that big sister pretty?"

"It's not a question of whether she's pretty or not..."

Xia He thought about how to explain to Wakasa Rumi, and finally chose to tell the truth.

"I suspect she is connected to the organization."

……

Saturday.

Beika-cho, Shinkansen station.

Xia He was carrying a backpack and looking at the long-haired man in front of him with a bandage on his head. He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

No, man.

You were hit so badly, and it's only been two weeks...you're already healed?
And just as he was staring at Akai Shuichi, the other party was also staring at him.

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.

Miyano Akemi was a little surprised when she saw this and asked, "Do you two know each other?"

"do not know!"

The two of them answered in unison.

"Hello, my name is Sake Natsuhe."

"Hello, my name is Zhu Xing Dai."

After saying that, they tacitly turned their gazes away from each other and looked elsewhere.
