Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

The plump woman in front of you is actually Professor Hirota's wife; her name is Hirota Toshiko.

Of all of Professor Hirota's students, Hirota Toshiko's favorite was Miyano Akemi, whom she treated like a daughter.

Hirota Toshiko had heard the name Miyano Shiho from Miyano Akemi before, but she never expected that her sister would be of mixed race.

After welcoming Tsunade into her home, Hirota Toshiko warmly poured her a cup of tea, then went to the study to call Professor Hirota out.

Professor Hirota was delighted to learn that Akemi Miyano's sister had arrived, and he kindly inquired about Akemi Miyano's recent situation.

Although Tsunade was unaware of Miyano Akemi's situation, Miyano Akemi was right next to Suzuki Seimei, so by using Suzuki Seimei as a human mouthpiece, she was able to answer questions fluently.

After chatting casually with Professor Hirota for a while, Tsunade subtly brought up the matter of the drug magnetic disk.

"Oh! You mean that strange disk? I was wondering why there was such strange content on those disks that store student photos. It turns out you accidentally sent the wrong one. Please wait a moment, I'll go get it for you right away."

Professor Hirota was not familiar with drug research, nor did he know the value of the drug information stored on that magnetic disk.

Upon learning that Shiho Miyano had accidentally misremembered the disk, Professor Hirota did not suspect her motives and quickly retrieved the disk.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Hirota Masami. You are rewarded with three years of [Lifespan]. You can claim it at any time."

As Tsunade took the magnetic disk, she subtly touched Professor Hirota's finger with her fingertip, and then quietly put the disk away.

After putting away the magnetic disk, Tsunade didn't intend to stay at Professor Hirota's house for long. After chatting casually for a few more minutes, she got up, said goodbye, and left.

Since Suzuki Harumi had no plans to arrange a meeting between Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai, he simply put the magnetic disk into his storage ring and didn't rush to have Haibara Ai begin drug research.

Under the cover of night, Miyano Akemi drove Suzuki Haruaki to the vicinity of the Suzuki Estate, allowing him to return to his bedroom without anyone noticing.

"Go! Go! Go!"

The football players on the field are sweating profusely, engaging in a fierce football match.

The cheers from the spectators in the stands reached the sky as they shouted encouragement for their favorite football teams!

Today is the decisive day of the 'Emperor's Cup', a final showdown between the two strongest football teams in the island nation, Tokyo and Osaka.

Because Conan is a soccer fan, he specially bought six tickets and invited Suzuki Seimei and the others to watch the game together.

However, compared to the four excited children, Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai appeared remarkably calm.

Suzuki Seimei, of course, needs no introduction; he was from the Chinese nation in his previous life.

As for how badly the football team in China plays, there's probably no need to elaborate.

In any case, Suzuki Seimei's impression of football was only of fans angrily shouting "refund!", so he really didn't have much interest in football matches.

Although Ai Haibara doesn't have the same psychological trauma about soccer as Seimei Suzuki, it's her first time watching a soccer game live, and she's too embarrassed to shout like Conan and the others.

Moreover, Ai Haibara didn't have any particular favorite player or football team at this time, and she didn't know which team to cheer for.

Moreover, footage from live football matches is broadcast on television.

Even though Ai Haibara has shrunk, if someone were to recognize her from childhood photos and connect her to Shiho Miyano, her hard-won happiness might be ruined.

Suzuki Seimei's attention wasn't on the match, so he quickly noticed Ai Haibara's somewhat uneasy expression and instantly guessed what she was thinking.

"Ai, do you not like crowded places?"

Suzuki Seimei leaned closer to Haibara Ai, took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and handed them to her, saying in a serious tone, "I've heard that people with social anxiety disorder experience relief from their symptoms by wearing glasses or masks."

"..."

Ai Haibara, of course, wouldn't believe such a strange claim, and she herself doesn't have social anxiety.

However, wearing black-rimmed glasses did indeed conceal her identity, so she accepted the glasses and put them on.

The moment Ai Haibara put on the glasses, her beauty and charisma seemed to be forcibly sealed away by an invisible force.

If we were to say that Ai Haibara's cuteness level exceeds ninety points...

So after putting on the "Ordinary Person Glasses," her cuteness level was suppressed to the passing grade of 60.

Let alone members of the Black Organization, even your own mother would probably have a hard time recognizing you.

"Ai, quickly check how you're feeling?"

Seeing Ai Haibara's beauty sealed away, Seimei Suzuki smiled slightly and handed her a small makeup mirror.

(????)

Ai Haibara subconsciously took the makeup mirror, looked at herself, was slightly taken aback at first, and then showed a happy smile.

The little girl in the mirror was wearing thick black-rimmed glasses, making her look not only like a bookworm but also exceptionally unsophisticated.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Ai Haibara would never have believed that a pair of black-rimmed glasses could cause such a dramatic change in the wearer's demeanor.

"Fantastic! Goal!"

When they saw the Tokyo team take the lead and score a goal, Conan and his friends cheered and jumped for joy again.

Conan, who was excitedly shouting, suddenly noticed the two little ones who were not moving and couldn't help but call out, "Seimei, Haibara, what are you doing? Come on, join us..."

(-_-)ゞ

However, Conan froze halfway through his sentence, staring at Ai Haibara from head to toe, and asked uncertainly, "Are you Haibara-san?"

"Yes! Is there a problem?"

Seeing Conan's surprised expression, Ai Haibara's smile grew even brighter.

do not forget!

Ai Haibara knows the secret that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. Since even he, a nobody, almost didn't recognize her identity, then it's even less likely that the people in the organization would recognize her.

"No...no problem."

Conan subconsciously shook his head, but inwardly he thought, "No way there's no problem!"

If it weren't for the fact that Ai Haibara was standing right next to Seimei Suzuki, and that she hadn't changed her clothes, Conan would have almost thought she was a complete stranger.

Logically speaking, even if Ai Haibara wore black-rimmed glasses, she shouldn't have such a drastic change.

However, Conan couldn't possibly guess the true effect of the "Ordinary Person Glasses." He could only conclude that Ai Haibara was simply not suited to wearing black-rimmed glasses, which was why her demeanor changed so drastically.

"Alright, let's cheer each other on!"

Conan didn't dwell on the matter too much. He pulled Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai to the railing and said enthusiastically, "Watching a live football match is the greatest enjoyment. You two shouldn't just sit there!"

"But I don't know any of these team members!" Suzuki Haruaki said helplessly.

"It's okay! I'll introduce you. The guy who just scored is the soul of the Tokyo team—Hero. Naoki passed the ball to him from the middle, and then Hero headed it into the net. It was so cool!"

For Conan, who loves soccer, being able to introduce his favorite sport to his friends is also a great pleasure.

Upon hearing Conan's words, Genta couldn't help but exclaim, "He really is a hero!"

“That’s right! If Hero hadn’t been injured before, I heard he could have made it into the Japanese national team this time.” Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement.

"That's such a pity!"

Ayumi cupped her face in her hands and sighed, "If we can't make it into the Japanese national team, then we won't get the World Cup trophy."

"That's right~ I heard that the hero regretted it for a long time because of this!"

Yuan Tai asked in confusion, "I really don't understand those adults. Why are they so enthusiastic about the World Cup?"

"Idiot! The World Cup is the biggest event in the world where countries strive to enhance their prestige in the sports world, so of course it will generate buzz domestically!"

Upon hearing this, Conan couldn't help but interject, "Although we haven't won a single match, which is a bit disappointing, the World Cup is still very interesting for everyone!"

Seeing Conan deliberately striking a knowing pose, Mitsuhiko said speechlessly, "Come on! What are you trying to look cool for?"

"After watching the TV broadcast last time, wasn't Conan himself the one who couldn't accept losing the most?"

"That's exactly what I meant!"

The last time Suzuki Haruki and the others were playing at Professor Agasa's house, Conan watched the World Cup broadcast and was so angry that he rolled on the ground in frustration when he discovered that the Japanese team had been eliminated without scoring a single goal.

Despite everyone's efforts to persuade him, they were unable to pull Conan up from the ground.

In the end, it was only when Suzuki Haruaki threatened Conan that he would send the photos of Conan rolling on the ground to Ran Mouri that the farce came to an end.

?(????w????)?

After being exposed by Genta and the others, Conan couldn't help but blush.

After all, both Suzuki Seimei and Professor Agasa know that Conan is Shinichi Kudo, so rolling around on the spot in front of them is indeed quite embarrassing.

However, you can't blame Conan for this; it's just that he loves soccer too much and got carried away with it.

"Cough cough!"

Conan coughed awkwardly twice and explained sheepishly, "I had no choice! It's my dream since I was a child for the Japanese team to qualify for the World Cup!"

???

Upon hearing this, Genta and the others had a big question mark on their heads.

"Starting from childhood?"

"But aren't you a child now?"

"Conan, when exactly did you start watching soccer matches?"

"This...this..."

Faced with the curious gazes of the three children, Conan, who had inadvertently revealed his identity, couldn't help but cast a pleading look at Suzuki Haruaki.

idiot!

Upon seeing Conan's usual self-deprecating remarks, Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai silently cursed in unison.

Suzuki Haruaki shook his head helplessly, then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, I recently learned a magic trick that can conjure up all sorts of snacks. Would you like to try it?"

"Can it really conjure up snacks?"
