Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

After calling the two, Curaçao quietly came to the dining table and waited for them to come down.

Zheng Yi and the other two dawdled for a long time before finally coming downstairs.

Upon seeing the larger version of Shiho Miyano, Curaçao showed no unusual expression and calmly ate her sandwich.

They didn't ask why the two of them slept in the same bed last night.

They didn't even ask what had happened to them.

Curaçao's calmness only made Shiho more embarrassed.

Zheng Yi didn't say a word, just ate his food in silence, as if nothing had happened.

"Cough cough."

Shiho Miyano coughed and said softly, "I have to go to the lab later. There's a big problem with this antidote."

She didn't know what kind of expression she should make.

Curaçao nodded.

She realized there was a big problem.

It's scary when you're sleeping in the same bed as Zheng Yi and he suddenly grows bigger and then shrinks.

"Ahem," Zheng Yi said, "Why is this happening?"

It will grow back to its original size after it shrinks.

That's amazing.

"I don't know the specifics right now," Shiho said.

She didn't know why this was happening.

This is even more distressing than the previous recovery period of only a few days.

Shiho rubbed her forehead, wondering how long it would be before she turned into Ai Haibara again.

"I feel that the current situation is actually quite good," Zheng Yi said softly.

You yourself like Shiho Miyano's style.

I prefer Ai Haibara's form.

Now you can transform from time to time, you like it and I like it too, it's the best of both worlds, isn't that great?

Shiho glanced at Masakazu.

What's so good about this?
If things continue like this, then the awkward situation we experienced this morning might happen frequently.

Thinking of this, Shiho's face turned even redder.

She glanced at Curaçao, who didn't seem to show any change in expression.

They didn't even ask about their own situation.

But this deliberate ignoring made Shiho even more embarrassed.

I wonder what Curaçao's inner world is like!
Shiho really couldn't eat anymore. She put down her chopsticks and said in a low voice, "I'm going to the lab now."

"Wait a minute," Masakazu called out to Shiho, "It's best if you don't go out right now."

This was his sincere advice.

Zheng Yi said, "If you have a health problem while you're out there, it could scare people to death."

Shiho's expression was unpleasant.

The changes in her body are completely uncontrollable and unknowable; no one knows when they will occur.

My head hurts.

"What do I do now?" Shiho asked.

“You can’t go out alone now, and you can’t appear in front of strangers often,” Zheng Yi said.

Exposing it in front of outsiders would have a very bad impact.

Zheng Yi is a good person, so we shouldn't kill him just because he knows the secret.

Zheng Yi said, "Stay at home for a few more days and see if there's any pattern to your body's changes. I'll get some simple equipment for you to do some tests and experiments at home."

Shiho nodded.

Let's leave it at that for now.

Curaçao continued eating quietly, not participating in the two's discussion.

In my mind, I was already thinking of phrases like "canary" and "keeping a mistress in a golden house."

Shoichi scanned Shiho's body, which made Shiho feel that Shoichi's gaze was offensive.

Zheng Yi said, "Given your current condition, you need to be careful about what you wear."

It didn't matter when I shrank, it just meant my clothes suddenly became much looser.

When it gets bigger, it may feel very uncomfortable to the body.

"I can feel the changes in my body, and I'll have time to go to the bedroom to change," Shiho said, blushing.

Discussing this with Masakazu made Shiho feel very embarrassed.

"What about the changes when you sleep? You didn't feel anything last night," Zheng Yi said.

Although her pajamas were loose, red marks were still left on her body when she changed after waking up.

"Cough cough!"

This time it was Curaçao's turn to cough.

Unexpectedly, when he deliberately avoided asking about last night's events to make things less awkward for them, the two of them brought it up themselves.

This cough caused another change in Shiho's expression.

She tried to remain calm, saying, "Then I'll buy bigger pajamas from now on."

“You’re not comfortable sleeping in those clothes, are you?” Zheng Yi said. “I would suggest you sleep naked.”

Shiho almost threw the sandwich she was holding right on her head.

She scrutinized Zheng Yi's face carefully, trying to discern whether it was a teasing remark or a sincere suggestion.

After watching for a while, Zheng Yi's face showed great sincerity.

But Shiho knew Shoichi very well and knew that this guy was a master of acting; the expressions on his face were enough to fool anyone.

So, is this statement a self-deprecating joke?

"What are you afraid of?" Seeing that Shiho's expression was not very willing, Masayuki continued, "Curaçao is not going to suddenly barge into your bedroom while you are sleeping."

"Heh." Shiho sneered, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

Why did you use the Curaçao hypothesis? Why not your own hypothesis?
Shoichi blinked at Shiho.

You don't think I would do that kind of thing, do you?

"What kind of thing?" Shiho asked in return.

You see, he didn't dare to go into such detail.

Masakazu disapproved of Shiho's attitude.

They were all attacked by someone at night; I have never attacked anyone at night.

He is upright and has nothing to fear.

Zheng Yi ate his meal as if nothing had happened, and continued to offer advice to Shiho, "Actually, you can sleep naked too; even if you shrink, you might still feel uncomfortable."

wild ambition!

wild ambition!

Shiho stared at Masakazu and said, "I want my sister to come and live with me."

"Um..." Masakazu felt that Shiho changed the subject very quickly, suddenly moving on to something completely unrelated. He asked, puzzled, "Why?"

“Because I need my sister to take care of me now,” Shiho said.

Physical changes can occur at any time, requiring someone to take care of them.

Zheng Yi said with difficulty, "But your sister is also quite busy with work."

He looked at Shiho and said, "You're a big girl now, you can't always rely on your older sister."

“No, my health is not good right now, and I need my sister to protect me,” Shiho said.

"Okay." Zheng Yi nodded.

He felt that Shiho's 'protection' was a bit too much.

She already has her own protection, so who could possibly harm her?

While eating, Masakazu whispered to Shiho, "You should really think about my suggestion."

"Ha." Shiho responded with a cold laugh.

Curaçao kept a low profile and listened quietly to their conversation.

The meal was very enjoyable.

…… "What!?"

At Teitan Elementary School, Conan almost bumped his head on the table when he heard Shoichi's phone call.

“The antidote is a big problem. You might turn back into Shinichi Kudo at any time, and then back again,” Shoichi said.

"This antidote is a bit unreasonable," Conan said.

He just reopened the elementary school enrollment, and you're telling me I might turn into Shinichi Kudo at any moment, and then it's still uncontrollable?
Conan said with a headache, "Then what should I do?"

Now, he's back at the Mouri Detective Agency.

If Conan were to transform there, he could already foresee his fate.

That was a scene I couldn't face.

On the phone, Zheng Yi's voice said, "I suggest you live alone, have your parents take care of you, and try to go out as little as possible."

Conan nodded. What Zheng Yi said seemed to be the best way to handle it.

But he had a headache.

Conan said, "I just got back and I have to leave again. I don't know what excuse I should make. Ran will suspect me."

"Who told you to be in such a hurry to go back?" Zheng Yi said irresponsibly.

After Ai recovered, she wasn't in a hurry to take her sister away, and they didn't even move their home.

But what's wrong with you, Shinichi Kudo?

Once he transforms back into Conan, he goes to find his Ran sister. Shoichi is very suspicious of his intentions.

Conan said in a low voice, "I'm also afraid that Ran might see me somewhere else, and then I won't be able to explain it."

“They’re all excuses,” Zheng Yi said.

Even Ai isn't afraid of being discovered by Gin, yet you're afraid of being discovered by Ran.

Is that correct?
This explanation is worse than no explanation at all.

Zheng Yi said, "Then you'll have to figure it out yourself. It's a good thing that Xiao Lan found out. Anyway, you don't know how to explain it to Xiao Lan. Being discovered passively is probably the best outcome."

Also, I've been tormented by the fact that I've been helping you hide it from Xiaolan.

Every time Xiaolan calls me "Brother Zhengyi," I feel embarrassed, and it makes me feel guilty.

Conan remained silent.

He couldn't bear to keep it from Xiaolan.

But then again.

He transforms into Conan without telling Ran, and continues to live with her, doing various things to keep it a secret from her.

Once the truth comes out, one can imagine what will happen to them.

Ran's karate is too strong, I'm scared.

"Brother Zhengyi, do you have any good ideas?" Conan finally asked.

"Have."

Zheng Yi said in a low voice, "I can recommend an insurance policy to you."

The president of a company saw me yesterday and didn't even offer me a toast, which made me very angry.

So, you can buy insurance from his company to vent my anger.

Conan's forehead went black.

I never expected that even Zheng Yi Ge would start to be unreliable.

At your age, don't you usually drink fruit juice?

If someone comes over to offer you a toast, you might think they're disrespecting you and trying to force you to drink.

"Forget it, I'll figure it out myself," Conan said.

I still have to get through this difficult time on my own.

Just as the call was about to end, Conan asked one last question, "Brother Zhengyi, which insurance company did you recommend again?"

After hanging up the phone, Conan sighed.

Soon, the bell rang, and Conan shook his head as he watched the children running to their classrooms.

If I were to transform myself in class, that would be news that shocked the world.

"Let's go home as soon as possible," Conan said softly.

He crouched down and, without the slightest hesitation, began to climb over the wall to skip school.

There's no way I can continue studying here.

Conan ran to the Kudo residence, looked at his boss's mother, and told her what Shoichi had said.

The Kudo couple were extremely shocked.

At the same time, it felt very tricky.

For the time being, Conan can only stay at the Kudo residence and try not to go out.

After disguising herself, Yukiko Kudo made a video call to Kogoro Mouri, saying that Conan's grandfather had died and she was taking Conan to the funeral, and would be away for a while.

Kogoro didn't take it to heart.

Ran frowned as she listened to Yukiko's words and asked, "Conan said before that his grandfather passed away a long time ago."

Yukiko blinked in the video.

Then, she picked up Conan, who was next to her, and put him on her knees, spanking him hard.

"You brat, is this how you curse your grandfather? I'll beat you to death!"

"Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Conan, extremely ashamed, admitted his mistake, his eyes darting towards Ran on the other end of the video, wishing he could disappear into the ground.

Xiaolan's eyelids twitched.

Did I never expect the truth to be like this?
Conan's relationship with his grandfather may not be good.

On Conan's end, Conan's mother was using more and more force, and Conan's resistance became more intense, so he accidentally hung up the phone.

……

Sera Masumi's side.

She was waiting for her mother to change her clothes.

They had arranged to meet the Miyano sisters today, and as the only elder, Akai Mary wanted to make a good impression on everyone.

Oh, Mary Akai has already turned back into her middle school student form.

In order not to look like a junior, one should pay more attention to makeup and clothing.

"Mom, are you ready yet?" Sera Masumi said impatiently.

I know you value this, but didn't you take way too long this time?
It was just a simple meeting, but it's being made to act like my mom is going on a blind date.

Sera Masumi looked helpless.

"Shinchun, today's situation is a bit complicated."

Mary Akai came out of the bedroom with a very complicated expression on her face.

Sera Masumi stared at her mother, her eyes wide, and exclaimed in shock, "Mom, you took another antidote and turned back?"

"There's no need for that. The antidote still has many problems. There's absolutely no need for this so-called elder's authority. Just take one antidote!"

She circled around Mary Akai for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Wait a minute, Masakazu only gave me one antidote, how did you turn back?"

“I don’t know either.” Mary Akai shook her head.

"I didn't do anything, I didn't eat anything, but while I was changing clothes, my body suddenly started to get hot, and then it turned back to normal."

Mary Akai's face showed even more confusion than Masumi Sera's.

Sera Masumi stroked her chin, thinking for a long time but still couldn't come up with anything.

"Could it be a problem with the antidote?" Sera Masumi whispered.

So what kind of situation is this?

Will they revert to their original state forever, or will they remain children?

“I’ll call and ask Masakazu,” Sera Masumi said.

Zheng Yi Ge (the author) is probably unaware of the antidote's effects and hasn't informed Conan yet.

Sera Masumi imagines Conan suddenly transforming into Shinichi Kudo in front of Ran...

I wonder what Xiaolan's karate level is like. Can she kill someone in one move?

While she was dialing, someone called her first.

"Hey, Zheng Yi, something really bad has happened to my mom." (End of Chapter)
