Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 69: The first "date" with Miwako

Haruhiko Kosaka stayed at Dr. Agasa's house that night.

Because they were hungry and stood in the rain with Haibara Ai for a long time, both of them were soaked and shivering with cold.

After entering the house, Haruhiko took a hot shower and threw his wet clothes into the washing machine. Wearing only a pair of shorts, Haruhiko sat at the round bar and ate spicy curry without feeling indecent.

Because Haibara Ai went straight into her room and never came out again.

Maybe she still needs some time to adapt and adjust.

Conan and Professor Agasa were tactful enough not to disturb her. After dinner, Haruhiko went to sleep in the guest room of the professor's house. If the timeline did not change, tomorrow would be Monday and he would have to get up early to go to school.

Haruhiko was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt someone punch him on the cheek.

His consciousness gradually took over his body, and the soft touch on his back indicated that he was still lying in bed, but there seemed to be a heavy object pressing on his stomach.

His consciousness made a quick judgment before his body could react.

Could it be that the Black Organization has come to our door?

He quickly opened his eyes, but found that the light in the room was not on. With the light coming in from the corridor at the door, Haruhiko saw that there was someone on top of him.

Is he from the Black Organization? If so, what should I do?

There were no swords in this room, so my kendo skills wouldn't be effective. Level 45 street fighting wouldn't be enough to defeat the organization, right? Besides, they should have guns, right?

As I was daydreaming, the figure in front of me gradually became clearer.

When he found the person sitting on him, Haruhiko couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

The person sitting on him in a duck-like posture was Ai Haibara with a stern face.

She was wearing an apron, but it was clear she was wearing pajamas underneath. Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her slender arms. Her fair hands held a shiny object. If I was right, it was a kitchen knife.

"What... do you want to do?" Haruhiko asked.

Ai Haibara had a calm expression. She leaned over and placed the kitchen knife on Haruhiko's neck, saying, "Forget what happened last night."

Her tone was commanding, and she didn't seem to intend to discuss it with him. Haruhiko felt that if he didn't agree, the knife would fall.

Feeling the faint fragrance coming from Haibara Ai's body and the touch of her soft little feet pressing on his stomach, Haruhiko probably guessed why she did this.

After all, he and Haibara Ai had only known each other for a short time. Her emotions suddenly got out of control last night, largely because of the suppressed emotions she had after learning of her sister's death, which burst out after being stimulated by Haruhiko.

At that moment, she returned to the state of a weak little girl that she would only show in front of her sister.

And if you show that kind of weakness in front of someone you don't know well, you would probably feel embarrassed when you think about it afterwards, right?

So that's why he came up with this stupid idea to ease the awkwardness? This guy is really not cute at all.

But Haruhiko was still understanding and said, "What happened yesterday? I think I fell asleep after eating curry."

Haibara Ai nodded coldly to show her satisfaction.

Then she put the kitchen knife aside and turned to get something from the end of the bed. As she moved her body, her soft little feet inevitably rubbed against Haruhiko, making Haruhiko furious.

He tried to calm himself down by taking deep breaths, but all he inhaled was the scent of her shower gel.

Damn it! Did this guy do this on purpose?!

Just as Haruhiko was complaining in his heart, Haibara Ai had already turned around, holding a lunch box in her hand: "Are you going to school today?"

Haruhiko nodded.

Huiyuan Ai placed the lunch box next to his pillow: "Remember to clean it after eating."

After saying that, she picked up the kitchen knife beside her, jumped off the bed, and left Haruhiko's room as if running away.

Haruhiko sat up and opened the lunch box she left behind. It was filled with exquisite dishes with a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although this "wake-up call" was a bit scary, at least he didn't have to eat in the school cafeteria today.

Haruhiko glanced at the time and found that it was already past five o'clock and almost time to go to school, so he got up and went into the bathroom to take a cold shower to refresh his body.

When I arrived at the living room, I saw three portions of breakfast already laid out on the table. It must have been made by Haibara Ai.

Conan was wearing pajamas, drinking milk from a glass with sleepy eyes. Dr. Agasa's seat was empty, as he seemed not to have gotten up yet.

While eating, Haruhiko heard Conan say that Haibara Ai said she was sick and would not go to school today.

Haruhiko thought that she might have caught a cold from being caught in the rain yesterday, or maybe she wanted to spend some time alone to sort out her future plans?
After having breakfast at Dr. Agasa's house, Haruhiko and Conan went out together, went home to get their schoolbags and bamboo swords, and then went to school.

School life is rather dull. Suzuki Sonoko has not come to school yet. After Haruhiko finishes his practice at the Kendo Club, he goes to the shoe cabinet, takes out the love letter from the cabinet and puts it in his schoolbag.

Although Haruhiko would not accept the confessions of these school girls, he couldn't just throw them into the trash can, as that would be too hurtful.

"You're really popular, Kousaka-kun." Ran Mouri's voice came from behind.

Haruhiko turned around with the love letter in his hand and saw Ran Mouri with a cute misshapen horn on her head. "I'm still far behind you. During lunch break, many of the boys discussed the topic of - now that Kudo Shinichi has disappeared, will there be a chance for me to pursue you?"

Haruhiko also joked with her.

"No chance. And that damn mystery geek and I are just childhood sweethearts." Mouri Ran smiled, and a happy expression appeared on her face after being praised. "Kousaka-kun, I feel like you're not in good shape today. You were hit by your opponent several times." Haruhiko thought that he had been rained on for so long yesterday, and he was able to get up and go to school this morning thanks to Haibara Ai's "wake-up call". When he thought of this, the touch of Haibara Ai's soft little feet immediately appeared in his mind.

Haruhiko shook his head and replied, "I slept late last night, so I'm a little out of shape."

Mao Lilan nodded: "Then you must pay attention to rest."

As they were talking, the two walked out of the school gate side by side. Several younger students from the karate club passed by her and shouted "Goodbye, senior sister".

Suddenly, a text message came from Haruhiko's phone.

I opened it and saw it was from Miwako Sato:
"Let's have dinner together tonight to celebrate my reinstatement. Don't forget you promised to act with me, so act like one, kid."

Haruhiko was speechless for a moment. Didn’t he visit you just yesterday?

Are you going to be discharged from the hospital today?

It really deserves to be the world of science. You can recover to full health just by sleeping.

However, Haruhiko thought that the reason why Sato Miwako was so eager to ask him out was probably because of her mother's instigation. But since he had promised her before, Haruhiko could not break the appointment.

And now at least I have dinner, it’s nice not having to go home and cook.

Mao Lilan looked at Haruhiko curiously: "You seem very happy, is that from Sonoko?"

Haruhiko shook his head: "It's a friend."

It’s really strange to say, since he rescued Suzuki Sonoko from Hakuba Pharmaceutical, she has never contacted him once.

Haruhiko did take the time to send a few text messages, asking if she was injured, when she would come to school, etc.

But the reply he got was just a few short words, as if she was deliberately avoiding him.

Was he frightened by the kidnapping incident?
But when he heard Mao Lilan and Sonoko talking on the phone several times, Sonoko's emotions on the other end of the phone didn't sound abnormal.

Mao Lilan held her schoolbag in front of her with both hands, bumped her shoulder against Haruhiko's, and said with a smile, "Isn't she your girlfriend?"

Haruhiko's mind flashed with Sato Miwako's face, but he quickly dismissed it: "How could that be? We're just ordinary friends."

The two chatted as they walked forward for a while. Because Mao Lilan was going to her mother's place in the evening, they said goodbye at the intersection.

Haruhiko first went home to change his clothes, and then took a car to the restaurant that Sato Miwako had sent him.

This restaurant is a typical three-story Japanese-style building. Standing at the door, you can hear the sound of shamisen coming from inside.

Walking into the hall, Haruhiko discovered that it was mostly decorated with bamboo or wood, and the rooms were connected by traditional Japanese sliding doors, which had an antique feel.

The open kitchen is in the lobby on the first floor, with the words "Liushuiting" written in white on the blue curtain.

There were sofas prepared for guests on both sides of the hall, and many people were sitting there waiting.

Further ahead is a red wooden bridge, and under the bridge is a small artificial river, where small wooden boats filled with food pass by from time to time.

It seems that this is how this restaurant serves food to customers.

As soon as Haruhiko came in, a female clerk in a dark purple kimono came over. Haruhiko told the female clerk that he was waiting for a friend, and the female clerk then went to greet other customers.

Miwako Sato only told me the address but didn't tell me the specific room number.

Haruhiko took out his cell phone and prepared to call the other party.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

In front of the counter stood a woman wearing a pure white kimono with beautiful prints. Her temperament was so eye-catching that she attracted the attention of most of the men present.

Haruhiko could tell at a glance that the woman who attracted everyone's attention was Sato Miwako, who was wearing light makeup.

At this time, there was a chattering man around her, who seemed to be trying to please her.

Miwako Sato ignored the other party and waited patiently for the waiter at the bar to verify the reservation information. Her ladylike appearance did not reveal that she was a female detective.

The man who was chatting her up was tall, with a long, horse-like face. He leaned his hand on the edge of the bar and said, "Do you know when this method of serving food to customers in small boats originated?"

The horse-faced man was boasting about his vast knowledge in an attempt to win Miwako's favor. Haruhiko also noticed that while he was talking, his eyes kept scanning the important parts of Sato Miwako's body.

Haruhiko walked towards the bar.

At the same time, the horse-faced man saw that Sato Miwako didn't respond to him, so he stretched out his hand to Miwako's shoulder and said, "Beautiful lady, would you like to have dinner with me?"

The horse-faced man, Kaneda Keisuke, looked intoxicated, thinking that such a beautiful woman was rare. He had decided not to be stingy when ordering food later, as maybe they would have a chance to spend the night together.

But when he stretched out his hand, he touched nothing.

A young man who looked young suddenly appeared and pulled the beautiful lady in kimono behind him.

Jintian's eyes fell on the other's hand on the kimono beauty's shoulder, and a look of jealousy flashed across his face: "Boy, do you understand the principle of first come first served?"
