Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

The afternoon sunlight streamed through the curtains, and Miyano Akemi looked at her sister with surprise.

"It's changed back?"

"Mm." Shiho nodded.

She looked completely indifferent at that moment.

"That's all we can do for now. Let's see when I can develop a new antidote," Shiho said.

She exuded a sense of resignation.

She never imagined that the medicine would have this effect.

Moreover, we still don't know why this is happening.

We can only accept the status quo for now and see if any other miraculous changes occur in our bodies later.

Akemi's eyes were filled with surprise.

She can switch between her younger sister's size at will, as if she has two younger sisters.

She's the older sister during the day and the younger sister at night.

Shiho squinted, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and said, "What would happen if we gave Shoichi this kind of medicine too?"

Tomorrow it will be Taishoichi and Ai, and tonight it will be Taishoichi and Shiho.

It's interesting just to think about it.

If Zheng Yi bullies you during the day, you can get your revenge immediately at night.

“Then you need to think about how to trick Zhengyi into taking this medicine,” Mingmei said.

"No rush, the effects of the medicine are still unstable."

Akemi touched Shiho's face.

"Your face seems a little hot," Akemi said.

"Hot?" Shiho was taken aback.

She touched her forehead with her hand.

"It seems very hot."

Akemi said worriedly, "What if it's that drug taking effect again, and I'm going to turn into Ai-chan?"

Shiho blinked.

She didn't know either.

But these changes are happening way too frequently; Shiho's form hasn't even lasted a day yet.

If you have to switch back and forth between the two forms, that would be quite troublesome.

"Let me help you back to your bedroom first," Mingmei said.

Upon hearing the noise, Masakazu rushed out of the living room and saw Akemi struggling to help Shiho walk towards the bedroom.

Her face was burning red, and her lips were an unnatural bluish-purple from the loss of temperature.

There was nothing wrong with her just now, but as soon as she stood up, she felt weak all over and slumped against Akemi.

"What's wrong with her?" Zheng instinctively reached out to help.

"I don't know, I suddenly started having a fever, it might be the medication taking effect," Mingmei said.

As they spoke, both Akemi and Shiho looked at the woman next to Masakazu.

Vermouth looked at Shiho with curiosity.

She had just arrived because she was curious about the transformation between Sherry and Ai, so she came to take a look.

I didn't expect to see this scene as soon as I arrived.

"Is it time to transform?" Vermouth whispered.

She came at just the right time.

You can see this scene as soon as you arrive.

"I'll help her to the bedroom first," Akemi said, helping Shiho towards the bedroom.

Zheng Yi followed behind, reaching out to take her: "Let me carry her, you open the door!"

"No need!" Shiho's reaction was unexpectedly strong.

Zheng Yi was stunned.

"You...you're a grown man, you're not allowed to come in with me." Shiho gasped for breath, her cheeks flushed from the effort.

The transformation is quite a mess.

And why is Zheng Yi following me when we need to change clothes later?
Akemi half-dragged, half-carried Ai into the bedroom.

The moment she stepped across the threshold, Shiho reached out and, with her last bit of strength, closed the door.

Zheng Yi was locked outside the door. He covered his nose and blinked.

"Your reaction is so strange. Let me in so I can take better care of you," Zheng said, pounding on the door.

"I don't need you, my sister is enough," Shiho said. "You just wait outside and don't come in and cause trouble."

Vermouth looked at Shoichi, who was locked out of the door, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

She looked at the closed bedroom door and said, "Will she stay like this forever?"

"It seems there's something wrong with the antidote; this is the only way," Zheng Yi said. "The same goes for Conan."

Vermouth nodded.

She really wanted to go inside and see how Sherry transformed.

This supernatural phenomenon is amazing and very intriguing.

Instead of waiting outside, Zheng Yi grabbed one of Ai's clothes and waited outside the door.

Vermouth said, "Doesn't she have any clothes in her bedroom?"

“Yes, but I don’t have anything to do outside. What if she doesn’t like the clothes inside?” Zheng Yi said.

Vermouth found Zheng Yi's behavior inexplicable.

Zheng Yi leaned against the wall of the corridor, his posture seemingly casual, his fingers unconsciously rubbing together.

“Do you know what you look like right now?” Vermouth asked.

"Like what?"

“Like a husband waiting outside the delivery room for his wife to give birth, you feel like every second is agonizing,” Vermouth said with a laugh.

She thought Zhengyi would be angry or shy or something like that.

I really didn't expect Zheng Yi to burst out laughing.

"Haha."

Zheng Yi looked at Vermouth and said, "What you said is quite accurate. Miyano Akemi is a midwife, and a little girl will really come out in a moment."

As he spoke, he glanced at the clothes in his hand.

Yes, I've even prepared clothes for my daughter.

Not seeing the expression she wanted, Vermouth shook her head in disbelief.

It's a bit difficult to make fun of Zheng Yi.

"Why isn't it ready yet?"

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from inside, which made Zheng Yi a little uneasy.

When Ai transformed before, it didn't take that long, right?
Zheng Yi has seen Ai Haibara transform, as well as Conan, and it didn't take them very long either.

Could there be some other problem with this transformation?
Just then, the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor came from the stairwell.

Just as he looked up, he saw Vermouth, who had just left, return.

She was wearing a beige trench coat, sunglasses hanging from her collar, and most importantly, she was carrying a rather exquisite-looking fruit basket.

Zheng Yi looked at her, finding it hard to understand the unfathomable smile on her face.

"What are you doing?" Zheng Yi asked.

Vermouth walked up to him, her gaze sweeping over his anxious face, and her smile deepened. "What's wrong? You look like you've lost your soul."

Zheng Yi glared at her, annoyed: "What on earth are you doing?"

"Oh dear, Masakazu-kun, your words hurt my feelings."

Vermouth feigned sadness, clutching her chest, and shoved the fruit basket she was carrying into his arms.
"I heard your wife gave birth, so I came to visit you. These grapes were flown in from France; they're very good for your recovery."

Zheng Yi, holding the heavy fruit basket, blinked.

If his memory is not impaired, this fruit basket was already in his home.

Moreover, it wasn't airlifted from France.

"You took my things to visit me?" Zheng Yi asked.

“No, I’m here to visit someone who is giving birth,” Vermouth said with a smile.

Zheng Yi pursed his lips, knowing that Vermouth was definitely up to no good, but he couldn't be bothered to argue with her. "She's still inside." Zheng Yi scratched his head. "It's been three hours, and there's not a sound."

"Don't worry." Vermouth leaned against the opposite wall, casually crossing her arms, but her gaze was fixed on the door with great interest.

"It's happened so many times already, there's nothing to worry about."

But actually, Vermouth also felt something was a little strange.

When Shoichi took Sherry to find Gin last time, wasn't Sherry's transformation speed very fast?
Why did it take so long this time?

Zheng Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door. "How's it going inside? Is it still not ready?"

“I can’t remember such things,” came Akemi’s voice from inside the door.

Zheng Yi was speechless.

This isn't actually giving birth, so what's there to forget?

Zheng Yi said from outside the door, "Are you even capable of this?"

"It should...it should be fine." Akemi looked at her younger sister lying on the bed, a little uncertain.

"Then that won't work."

Zheng Yi said, "Why don't you let me in? I've witnessed Ai Haibara's many transformations, and I've also seen Conan's changes."

I have a lot of experience in this area.

At least, they're much better than you. You've never witnessed it even once, and you have no idea how to take care of someone.

Akemi, who was inside the door, felt that what Shoichi said made a lot of sense.

She never witnessed the process of her sister's physical changes; she always knew the outcome.

She looked at Shiho and asked, "Should we call Masakazu in?"

He might be more experienced than you.

Shiho pursed her lips.

Zheng Yi might actually be more experienced than her.

When she transforms, her body feels very uncomfortable, and it is difficult for her to observe her own reactions and changes.

Actually, she now feels that she might have made a mountain out of a molehill.

Shiho whispered, "Sister, do you think it's possible that I just have a fever?"

“Uh.” Akemi was taken aback.

But she couldn't guarantee it.

She lowered her voice and said, "I don't know. I don't know the process of your body's transformation, so I can't make a judgment."

Although she didn't receive approval from her older sister, Shiho had already made up her mind.

It's been three hours, and nothing has changed.

This time it really wasn't the medication taking effect; it was a genuine fever.

"Should I call Zhengyi in?" Mingmei asked.

She looked at her younger sister with concern.

I know nothing about my sister's health condition, and I don't know how to take care of her.

"No." Shiho shook her head.

Realizing that she had made a mountain out of a molehill, Shiho was even less inclined to see Shoichi.

He will laugh at himself.

Akemi said in a gentle voice, "Shoichi won't laugh at you."

Shiho's eyes widened.

Akemi continued, "Shoichi treats Shiho differently than he treats Ai."

She believes that he treated Shiho with respect and maintained a certain level of respect for older children.

"Heh." Shiho sneered.

You don't understand Zhengyi at all.

Even if you don't laugh now, it doesn't mean you won't laugh in the future!
Once he shrinks, Zheng Yi will definitely bring up this incident a lot.

Now that Zheng Yi has come in, all she can see is his mischievous expression.

"No," Shiho said. "Get me some fever reducer, then I'll just take a nap."

She pulled the blanket up to cover her mouth, "I don't want to see anyone else right now."

Seeing her sister's insistence, Akemi reached out and touched Shiho's forehead again, unsure of what to do.

"Why don't we let him come in and take a look?" Mingmei said. "He's been waiting outside for so long; he's very concerned about you."

Shiho tucked her head completely under the covers.

Soon, Akemi opened the door and let Masakazu in.

"what's the situation?"

"She still has a fever, but there's been no change in her physical condition," Mingmei said.

Unsure of the situation, she could only ask Zheng Yi, an expert, to make a diagnosis.

When Masayu came in, he saw Shiho hiding under the covers. He reached out and lifted the covers, but couldn't move her.

Just as he was about to use a little more force, Shiho poked her head out.

She said softly, "It's nothing, just a simple fever."

He placed his hand on her forehead, and Shiho closed her eyes.

After Shoichi withdrew his hand, Shiho opened her eyes and saw the somewhat disappointed look in Shoichi's eyes.

An unnamed anger welled up inside him, and Shiho glared angrily at Masakazu.

Shoichi noticed Shiho's gaze and whispered to Akemi, "It should just be a common fever."

It's been three hours and there's still no change. It can't be that the medication has taken effect.

I'm still a little disappointed.

Mingmei nodded. "Then this time I was being a bit too sensitive and making a mountain out of a molehill."

"It's not making a mountain out of a molehill," Zheng Yi said. "Who knows when she'll transform."

Shoichi sat on the edge of the bed and touched Shiho's cheek with the back of his hand. "What if the medicine takes effect when you have a fever?"

Shiho squinted.

It's actually possible.

"How's production going?"

A woman's voice came from behind Shiho, and she saw Vermouth.

She then remembered that a member of the organization had suddenly come to her house.

"Production went smoothly?" Mingmei looked at Vermouth in surprise, not understanding the meaning of her words.

"It seems things aren't going very smoothly."

Vermouth blinked at Shiho on the bed and said with some disappointment, "The child didn't come out."

"you!"

Only then did Shiho realize the meaning behind Vermouth's words.

Is this treating my situation as if I were having a baby?
Then Shiho looked at Shoichi and found that his eyes were wandering and he refused to look at her.

I understand. You and Vermouth think the same way, right?

What do you two talk about when you're out together?
Shiho kicked Masahiro through the blanket in annoyance.

"Hey, you're too weak." Masakazu said, pressing down on Shiho's foot. "You're not the same as when you were little. You can't be as naughty as before."

That kick really hurt; it almost knocked me off the bed.

Shiho took a deep breath.

She understood the general meaning of what he said, but it just sounded so strange.

"Okay, take your medicine."

Curaçao handed the water to Zheng Yi and walked in expressionlessly with the fever reducer in her hand.

"Here, open your mouth and take your medicine." Zheng handed the pills to Shiho's mouth.

Shiho glared at Shoichi expressionlessly, then reached her hand out from under the blanket and took Shoichi's fever reducer and water cup.

He said softly, "I have my own hands."

You don't need to feed them.

"I know, I know," Zheng Yi said with a smile. "You not only have hands, but also feet."

Shiho kicked Seiichi again through the blanket. (End of Chapter)
