"I'm sorry, it's not the silly little girl you like, the one who calls out to Onii-chan every morning to wake you up. I'm so sorry."

Shaga shrugged: "Alright, the problem now is that you need a new identity. I don't want my house to be blown up by an intercontinental ballistic missile one day."

"A name?" Shiho Miyano thought for a moment, then looked up: "Ai Haibara? How about that?"

"Whatever you say. I'll go to the neighborhood committee to register tomorrow, in my sister's name."

"Tsk, your wicked intentions have been exposed so easily? You really are a lolicon, you pervert!"

Makise Kurisu, who was standing aside watching the show, took a sip of coffee and a slight smile appeared on her lips:

"You two really do look like siblings, at least you look alike when you argue."

"Huh? Who looks like this guy?!" X2

"Don't mimic me!" x2

……

After dealing with Ai Haibara's matter, Shaka returned to his room and contacted Megumi Kato, who was out, via [ST].

Shaga: [How is the situation?]

Kato Megumi: [It went smoothly. She's a 'lower-level telekinesis' user; she needs to actually be wrapped in bandages to unleash a small amount of power.]

[However, during the investigation, I saw Mori-kun. She seems pretty amazing; she snapped a tree in half with one punch. Even though I'm an adventurer, I can't do that.]

Shaka: [She probably has physical abilities. Disassembling an armored vehicle shouldn't be a problem for her in a while.]

Megumi Kato: [Saying that a girl is dismantling an armored vehicle is going too far.]

Ah, that's true...

Shaga: [How are the prisoners? Were there any casualties?]

Kato Megumi: [The culprit was hit by Ran's straight punch; he's probably seriously injured...]

[There was only one victim in this case. It appears to be a teacher at a school who had a relationship with Ms. Atsuko, who was a student several years ago. An argument ensued, during which he pushed her off a building. The perpetrator, who was in love with Atsuko, harbored hatred and, after gaining his powers, directly murdered the teacher…]

Xia Jia thought for a moment, "A repeat offender."

However... the senior died a terrible death, let this serve as a warning.

At the very least, I can't be killed by my wife's sycophant; that would be too shameful.

After offering incense to his deceased predecessors, Xia Jia sat down in front of his computer and looked at the official forum of his game.

"Hmm... Although some players have posted gameplay videos and there have been expansion pack updates, the fact that they haven't been issuing test qualifications is indeed a bit of a problem."

Xia Jia flipped through the countless reservation documents submitted to the back office. He actually found quite a few roles that matched his criteria.

"How about a 'real' lottery? Hopefully, it'll give me a little surprise?"

Countless strange netizens flashed across the LCD screen.

Shaka randomly selected 20 lucky players. These players will serve as test subjects, without any special privileges, and will temporarily join the Soma Familia.

While increasing magic consumption, Shaga also wants to attract more players who focus on life skills.

【Family Myth】This game isn't all about combat and adventure. Farming gameplay like Blank, or management and resource gathering, are also part of the game's charm.

Manpower is also needed for asset management and other related tasks.

If they make certain contributions, perhaps they can be given a permanent position.

Shaga then selected three more candidates who had been specially marked for the appointment:

【ASUNA】

Guitar Hero

【Shina】

"Well, including Hitomi and the helmet that was casually sent to Kaito Kid, that makes five people."

"This must be the fourth batch of players."

Chapter 264 Haibara: Feeling sorry for Geigei?

The next day, early in the morning.

Shaga sent out the prepared helmets one by one.

After handing the last helmet to the mailman, he thought for a moment and then took out another helmet from inside the room.

"Could you please send this out for me as well?"

The postman checked the address and confirmed, "It's Mr. Kazuma Sato, isn't it?"

"Correct."

Xia Jia smiled.

Kaito Kid's identity is too special. After meeting him last time, he had considered whether to recruit him into his gang.

But first and foremost, this person is a phantom thief, and his identity is that of someone wanted by the police.

For a thief, protecting their true identity at all times is basic common sense. Revealing their identity abruptly would only make them more wary.

Therefore, Shaka sent the email to Kaito Kuroba anonymously.

As for whether he would enter the game out of curiosity, Xia Jia wasn't sure, so he added a replacement member.

"Hmm, Mr. Sato has been urging us in the group chat several times. It should be about his turn soon. But, will his personality pass Lady Astrea's approval?"

Xia Jia was in a bit of a dilemma.

After seeing the deliveryman off, Xia Jia went home and had breakfast. Under the urging gaze of Haibara, she got dressed and went out.

They registered Ai Haibara, now shrunken, at the street office and, as requested, applied for enrollment at Beika Elementary School. On the way back, they stopped at the Mouri Detective Agency and asked Ran for Eri Kisaki's phone number.

Fortunately, Conan wasn't home, otherwise, the jealous king would probably have unleashed his divine powers again.

afternoon.

Shaka brought Ai Haibara to the downstairs of Eri Kisaki's office. He took out his phone and dialed a number:

"Hello, is this Attorney Eri Kisaki?"

"you are?"

"I'm Xiaolan's friend. There's a very tricky case I'm looking for. I don't know if you'd dare to take it on."

Xia Jia speaks rather directly.

Eri Kisaki stood up and went to the window: "If this weren't my private phone, I would think you were being provocative. Little one, do you know my reputation in the industry?"

"I know."

Shaka's serious voice came through the phone:

"The invincible queen. But this matter may not have anything to do with the lawyer's ability, but rather that taking on this case may lead to retaliation from criminal forces."

"Is that so?" Eri Kisaki said calmly, "We lawyers never care about being resented by criminals when we take on a case."

Xia Jia smiled and said, "Alright, we're downstairs from your office. I hope we can discuss this in person."

……

After hanging up the phone, Xia Jia took Ai Haibara to the building's elevator. A moment later, led by the receptionist, he entered Eri Kisaki's office.

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Eri Kisaki, in her forties, is remarkably well-preserved. Sitting in her office chair, she exudes a captivating queen-like aura. It's clear she's no wonder she's the mother of Ran; her genes are strong.

When Eri saw Shaka bring a little girl into the room, she frowned slightly:

"Your voice makes you sound very young, and you're already taking care of an even younger child..."

She began to worry about the complexity of the case. The reasons behind requests for help from young children were usually chilling.

Shaka sat down opposite Eri with Ai Haibara in his arms, and he got straight to the point:

"This is the client in this case. I wonder how much Attorney Eri Kisaki knows about the bank robbery that happened a few days ago."

"Bank robbery?" Eri Kisaki frowned. "Those kinds of cases usually don't have much suspense. If you want to plead not guilty for the robbers, I won't agree."

Xia Jia shook his head: "Of course, we just hope to get a reduced sentence."

As he spoke, he pushed a document to Eri Kisaki: "This is the whole story. Read it and then burn it."

Time passed as Eri Kisaki reviewed the documents...

After understanding the situation...

"He was coerced into committing the crime. He did not directly participate in the murder, but he was still directly involved in the case, so he is at least an accomplice... Well... The amount of money involved is huge, and the social impact is terrible, so it will be difficult to get a reduced sentence."

Eri rubbed her temples: "You've given me a tough one, little one."

Seeing this, Haibara jumped off the chair, hugged Eri's leg, and said in a spoiled tone:

"Lawyer, please, I only have you as my family. Those bad guys threatened you to rob the bank because they captured me."

When Shaka saw Haibara's expression, he rolled his eyes.

Sure enough, these 'elementary school students' are born with the skill of pretending to be young.

Eri Kisaki couldn't resist a child's sweet talk, especially a cute one, so she smiled and picked up Ai Haibara to comfort her:
