The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

Just like Ai's mental illness, it's not so easy to solve.

Just as Kaoru Kazama was preparing her words, intending to give the young girl a good lesson, there was a loud knock on the door, clearly indicating that the person on the other end of the door had something important to discuss with her.

"Sigh, at this rate, could it be another case?"

Kaoru Kazama sighed deeply again.

If it were animated, the dark cloud hanging over her head could probably cover the entire Area 11.

"Officer Kazama, could you let Ai come out for a moment?"

Surprisingly, it was that group of mischievous kids knocking on the door, and remarkably, it wasn't because of a case.

"Alright, Ai, your friend is here to see you."

Perhaps, compared to her own dry words, the liveliness and energy of these children were more likely to infect Ai's melancholy temperament.

Even Akemi said that in the six months since she started elementary school, Ai's personality has become much more lively.

Although she still maintains a cold exterior, the inner changes she undergoes are undeniable, especially considering that she raised Ai as her daughter since childhood.

"Really? What do they want from me?"

Not only Kaoru Kazama, but even Ai herself found it quite strange.

Without hesitation, she jumped out of bed, put on her slippers, and went outside.

Good night, get some rest.

Stepping out of the room, Ai Haibara turned back to wave to the girl standing at the door with her arms crossed, gazing down the corridor. She said goodnight, then disappeared down the corridor with the group of mischievous kids.

"I hope I'm wrong."

Given Ai Haibara's physique as a humanoid Black Organization Detective Princess, she is indeed capable of easily sensing the presence of the Black Organization.

However, this only applies when the other party is within a ten-meter radius of her.

It is far from having the magical ability to predict the future, so Kaoru Kazama felt that Ai should not have any way of knowing the Black Organization's action plan, let alone boarding the ship in advance.

So, this really is just rebellious behavior during puberty?

She's fine, but the problem is that Ai is only seven years old. Isn't that a bit too young?

These chaotic thoughts filled Kazama Kaoru's mind, and gradually, her posture became more and more relaxed.

She went from sitting upright on the bed to leaning against the bedside table, then against the pillow, and finally lay on the pillow and drifted off to sleep.

"Click"

While Kaoru was fast asleep, the door was quietly opened.

This is the downside of letting your mind wander; it can make you feel drowsy without warning and then fall asleep without realizing it.

You get a 50% comfort bonus when you're in a place with a bed.

"This guy really doesn't know how to take care of himself at all."

With her small body and cool voice, it goes without saying that this is Ai Haibara, who ran away with the mischievous kids before.

Although Kaoru Kazama hadn't managed to say anything meaningful before, her straightforward and honest gaze left a deep impression on her.

She even had trouble sleeping at night, which is why she secretly came over to check if Kazama Kaoru was asleep.

It turned out that the other person hadn't even locked the door, and wasn't covered by a blanket; they were just sleeping soundly.

"Honestly, she's a girl, doesn't she have any sense of self-protection? I need to have a serious talk with her another day."

The Kazama family tradition is that educators and those being educated can switch roles at any time.

To be frank, the three of them are actually about the same age.

Although Kazama Kaoru felt that he had been reborn, his mental age should be relatively advanced.

But in reality, this was just her delusion.

A person's psychological age increases with life experience, including the people and events they encounter.

Even if you live your life twice at the age of eighteen, your mental age will not become thirty-six.

Frankly speaking, this is not a mathematical problem at all.

Ai stood quietly by the bed, watching Kaoru Kazama's sleeping face.

Although she always seems listless, she is actually surprisingly peaceful and adorable when she is asleep.

She looks like a twenty-year-old girl in the prime of her life, but because of herself and her sister, she has to bear a burden that she shouldn't have to bear at her age.

This is what makes Ai feel most guilty.

After covering Kaoru Kazama with the blanket, Ai pulled up a corner and slowly but firmly slipped inside.

With such complex and uncertain feelings, Ai quickly drifted off to sleep.

After sensing that the person next to him was already asleep, Kaoru Kazama quietly opened his eyes in the darkness.

In fact, Kaoru Kazama had already woken up when Ai turned the doorknob.

She dares to sleep without locking the door, so she's obviously not afraid of someone breaking in.

I originally wanted to pretend to be asleep to see what this uninvited guest was really like, but I ended up discovering that the person who came was actually Ai.

Then Ai's next series of actions really opened her eyes.

Is this still the same emotionless and aloof Ai Haibara? When did she become so unrestrained and daring?

Of course, this is all a joke.

Seeing the girl still curled up in her sleep, with her hands and feet tightly clenched, it's not hard to imagine how severe her lack of security is.

"I'm sorry, Shiho."

Kaoru Kazama turned around, gently hugged Ai's body, and whispered something in her ear.

Then, she fell into a deep sleep.

Lying in bed, you can feel the slight rocking of the ship more, but it doesn't cause seasickness. Instead, it has a mild hypnotic effect, like being in a cradle.

Early the next morning.

"Ai, wake up, wake up! Get up now, or the sun will be high in the sky!"

"Sleep a little longer, just five more minutes."

Hearing these dreamlike words, Kaoru Kazama's forehead creased with a tic-tac-toe expression.

These excuses made when trying to stay in bed can be completely ignored; Mingmei probably hears them several times every morning when she calls them.

"Get up quickly, or I'm going to pull off the covers."

Kaoru Kazama has always been a person who does things by example, so without saying a word, she immediately pulled back the covers.

"Hmm, hiss."

After the blanket was pulled back, a large amount of cold air rushed into the girl's private space.

The transfer of temperature begins the moment it touches warm skin.

It must be said that this method of treating insomnia is second only to the electric shock therapy of the Thunder God.

After all, most people who love to stay in bed are simply trapped in the warmth of their blankets.

"Hey, this isn't my room, Masaka..."

Ai has just woken up and her mind hasn't fully recovered, so it's normal for her character to temporarily collapse.

"Get up quickly, or I'll have to help you get dressed."

"Tsk tsk, what a beautiful sight! It seems I should consider adding this to my schedule in the future."

Kazama Kaoru thought this way, but unfortunately, after the loli fully woke up, she did not show the shy expression that Kazama Kaoru had expected. Instead, she acted as if nothing had happened, casually getting dressed, fastening her belt, and then getting up to wash.

------------

After breakfast, Kaoru Kazama took Ai to the deck to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

As for Miwako, it seems she hasn't gotten up yet because she stayed up late last night reviewing case files and didn't get enough sleep.

It seems she is very persistent about the truth behind Eito Yashiro's death.

"Wow, everyone's up pretty early."

Kaoru Kazama greeted Sonoko and Ran, who were also up early and enjoying the sea view on the deck.

"Good morning, Sister Xiaoxun. How was your rest?"

"Not bad, I had a good night's sleep. Holidays should be enjoyed to the fullest."

However, because of the sunlight on the deck and her position behind Kazama Kaoru, no one noticed this.

However, Uncle Mori didn't greet anyone. Instead, he stared intently at a certain spot on the deck, and then, like a radar, slowly turned his head.

"Haha, President Takae's legs don't look like those of someone in their fifties at all."

Uncle Mori flashed his signature smile again, with his tongue sticking out in a Z shape, coupled with his lecherous eyes, enough to scare away any pervert.

It turns out that he had been watching President Takae, who was wearing a tennis outfit and showing off her long legs, on the other side.

Upon hearing this, Kaoru Kazama also turned his head and took a quick look.

Uncle Mori is right. These legs are healthy and full, without even a trace of calluses. Under the sunlight, they show a bright white color, which is indeed very well maintained.

By middle age, most people either lose their figure due to obesity, or experience dry, wrinkled skin and muscle atrophy due to dehydration; in short, they don't look very good.

A pair of legs like these, indistinguishable from those of a woman in her twenties, could easily be described as having been bought with money.

Indeed, money can buy you anything.

"Are you interested in this type of thing, or are you fantasizing about your old age when you're out of shape?"

Ai once again displayed her sharp tongue, bringing Kaoru Kazama back to his senses.

"Well, I just feel that President Takae has a very youthful mindset, which is something someone should learn from."

With a mocking smile, Kaoru Kazama looked at Ai Haibara, who barely reached his thigh.
