Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

"Pfft~"

"why are you laughing?"

When Koyo saw Ai, she immediately smiled, and Ai naturally didn't want to give her a friendly look.

"Why is Ai Haibara wearing this outfit?"

Hongye patted Xiao Ai's head in confusion and took out her phone from her pocket to take a picture of Xiao Ai.

Ai turned her back, but Momiji still ran over quickly and took a picture of Ai's face.

Ai glared angrily at Momiji and Masakazu with a dark expression.

Looking at the photos on her phone, Hongye said, "Although it doesn't quite match Ai's style, it's still very cute."

Ai is wearing a green and orange color-blocked outfit with pink and blue patchwork and three-dimensional animal embroidery, featuring a very cute little rabbit.

Like wearing a rainbow, Ai Haibara instantly transforms into a "walking, adorable little rainbow."

It's so cute at first glance.

Momiji felt that Ai was a very calm and composed person, and shouldn't like wearing clothes like that.

"Humph!"

Ai snorted coldly, not revealing Zheng Yi's shameful deeds.

When she got up this morning.

She discovered that all her clothes had been stolen, leaving her with only this one.

There's no need to even think about who stole it.

Aside from some pervert, no one would steal a child's clothes.

"Alright, let's stop discussing what clothes Ai should wear and let's go," Zhengyi said.

He had to coax Ai for a long time before she finally agreed to go out.

Otherwise, Ai will run back again soon.

Hongye is competing at the TV station today; she's recording a program.

When Ai arrived at the TV station, she was wearing a mask.

Masakazu said to Ai, "There's no need to wear a mask. Nobody in Osaka knows you."

Ai glared at Masakazu.

Even if no one knows me, it's still very embarrassing to wear clothes like this.

"Why don't you buy an outfit just like mine and wear it out?" Ai asked.

Zheng Yi shook his head: "That would make other people think we're wearing matching outfits, and they might mistake you for my daughter, which would delay my search for a girlfriend."

"Why don't you just die?" Ai said through gritted teeth.

Hongye kept covering her mouth and chuckling to herself as she stood beside them.

Ai glanced at Momiji, then poked Seiichi's waist and pouted, gesturing for him to look at Momiji.

Masayuki looked at Momiji and immediately understood what Ai meant, then quickly shook his head.

Asking me to steal Hongye's clothes? Wouldn't that be perverted?
As a big entrepreneur, doesn't he have any pride?
"Humph!"

Xiao Ai snorted coldly and ignored him.

Masashi comforted Ai, saying, "Alright, alright, you're just too serious. You're not like a child at all."

It's good to let your true nature shine through in a place where nobody knows you.

"Releasing one's true nature is not about making a fool of oneself, and I'm not a child..."

"Brother Zhengyi!"

While the two of them were talking, Xiaolan ran over, looked at Zhengyi curiously, and asked:

"Brother Zhengyi, you're here too, what a coincidence."

"Oh, it's Xiaolan." Zhengyi greeted Xiaolan warmly.

It's fate that we met in Osaka.

The moment Ai heard Ran's voice, she wanted to die.

She was used to being teased by Zheng Yi, so he didn't care what she wore.

As for the red leaves, I only see them a few times in total.

But Xiaolan is different.

She and Xiaolan were classmates.

Ai silently let go of Shoichi's hand and quietly walked to the side, trying to escape from here.

During her escape, she tried her best not to attract anyone's attention.

"By the way, Masakazu-nii, isn't Ai with you?" Ran asked, glancing towards Masakazu's side.

"I'm here." Masashi turned around. "Huh? Where did Ai go?"

He discovered that Ai, who was always by his side, was gone.

"it's here."

Momiji, who was standing nearby, pushed Ai, who was trying to run away, and brought her over.

Ran looked down at Ai, staring incredulously at the tiny figure before her.

Would Ai really wear clothes like that?

"So cute," Xiaolan complimented.

Ai blushed.

With a mask still on her face, Xiaolan and Hongye had no idea just how shy she was.

Her face flushed instantly, the redness spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears, as if it could bleed.

She wanted to scold Zheng Yi in front of Xiao Lan, but her throat felt like it was locked, and she couldn't make a sound.

Xiao Ai didn't say anything, but just kept talking nonsense for her.

"Ai saw this outfit when she passed by the store yesterday and insisted on buying it. She changed into it first thing this morning."

Xiao Lan nodded, seemingly confused.

Given Ai's personality, if she resorts to making a fuss, it must mean she really likes this outfit.

Xiao Lan smiled as she looked at Xiao Ai.

So Ai Haibara likes clothes like this?

However, when she was at school, Ai dressed very 'seriously' and didn't look like a child at all.

He must have been unwilling to be treated like a child by his classmates, which is why he restrained his hobby.

so cute.

Just as Zheng Yi was about to add more details, Hong Ye tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to say less.

If this continues, Ai really won't be able to take it anymore.

Zheng Yi had managed to shut his mouth, but the joy in his eyes hadn't faded.

Ai took a deep breath.

She decided to add some delicious and inexpensive chemicals to Zhengyi's lunch.

"By the way, Xiaolan, what are you doing here?" Zhengyi asked.

"The TV station invited my dad to participate in a talk show, so I came along," Xiaolan said.
"And what about you, Zheng Yi?"

Zheng Yi said with a smile, "Hongye is participating in the karuta competition, and I'm here to cheer her on."

"A karuta tournament?"

Hongye nodded. "That's right, but today's match is just an exhibition match."

When she heard Ran say that Kogoro Mouri had also come, she felt a slight sense of unease.

Whether it's in the media or listening to conversations with elders.

It seems that everyone has assumed Kogoro is Shoichi's assassin.

Now that Kogoro Mouri is here, isn't it time to begin the hunt?
Hongye glared at Zhengyi.

Didn't you say you wouldn't disturb my match?
Zheng Yi gave Hong Ye a reassuring look, "Don't you trust me?"

Masashi asked Ran, "By the way, Ran, isn't Conan here?"

Ran shook her head: "Conan was picked up by his mother. He hadn't come back when my dad and I came to Osaka."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yi reached out and patted Hongye on the shoulder.

Go and compete with confidence and courage.

No one will disrupt your game.

"That would be best," Hongye muttered softly.

"On the way, I called Conan, and he said he was coming back and would come directly to Osaka to find us," Ran added.

"Oh."

Zheng Yi nodded again and patted Hongye on the shoulder once more.

Bless yourself.

You can only hope that Conan is a little kinder. (End of Chapter)
