The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

Could it be that Ai has been subtly influenced by me to become a ShinRan fan? If that's the case, that would be really interesting.

"Wait, how did you know?"

Conan screamed in horror, staring at Ai Haibara, who had casually revealed the truth.

Then, as if his intelligence had suddenly kicked in, he started searching himself thoroughly.

As a result, I found something familiar in a familiar place.

—A listening device stuck to the back of the neck collar.

Well, it's a commonly used prop, a common location, but there's always something strange about it.

"When did you install this? Do you know that this is an invasion of privacy?"

The great detective questioned angrily.

"Oh, I wonder if someone who frequently uses this to eavesdrop on secret police conversations and steal important case information will end up in jail?"

Ai Haibara isn't afraid of Conan's bluster at all. In fact, she's been infected by Kaoru Kazama's mischievousness and now enjoys teasing Conan even more than in the original story.

"You started sneaking around searching a few days ago. Although I didn't initially think you could find the antidote, I still installed a listening device on you just to be safe. I didn't expect to actually find something unexpected."

As Ai said this, Kaoru Kazama's eyes lit up.

Based on her understanding of Ai, she knew it was definitely more than just eavesdropping; there must have been other methods prepared. However, considering the great detective's fragile heart, she decided to wait until they got back.

"Let's not dwell on this for now. You'd better not take antidotes indiscriminately in the future. After all, you made it very clear in your dream that taking too many can really lead to drug resistance. This is no joke."

Ai took this opportunity to warn Conan, and Conan, who had repeatedly failed to learn his lesson, showed a serious expression for the first time.

It seems that in the end, only Xiaolan can restrain him. A strange dream dispelled the great detective's indomitable spirit. It seems that love is more important than Sherlock Holmes.

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that one is a soulmate, and the other is a childhood sweetheart in real life.

"Akami, Ai, let's go. I haven't eaten anything yet, and I'm so hungry."

She didn't know if it was because traveling through space had depleted her energy, plus Kazama Kaoru had been working overtime until now while she was AFK, she felt like she could eat a whole cow right now.

"I'm so sorry, I should have cooked for you, but I've been busy fixing things here and neglected to do so. I'm really sorry."

Upon hearing Kazama Kaoru's words, Professor Agasa stood up and said apologetically.

After all, it's very impolite to let guests go home on an empty stomach.

"It's alright, Professor Agasa. We don't really trust your cooking skills either. You should take good care of Conan. After all, he just took the temporary antidote and his body might not be stable yet. We'll have to ask you for help in this regard."

After saying that, Kaoru Kazama left with Ai and Akemi.

It was getting late, and it would take some time to cook dinner at home, so she took the two of them to a family-run restaurant on the street for a meal.

"It's rare for us to get out to eat, so please order whatever you want, don't be shy."

Kazama Kaoru handed the menu to Ai and Akemi, one for each of them, intending to treat them to a nice meal.

Although the two women didn't know, he had indeed gone on a long trip, which could be considered a welcome-back party for himself.

"I'll just have a cup of coffee and some curry rice."

Unfortunately, Ai doesn't seem to be interested in family restaurants, and the food pairings are rather strange.

Coffee with curry rice—it seems like something you'd eat to tide you over while doing an experiment.

"Mingmei, what would you like to eat?"

Kaoru Kazama turned her gaze toward Akemi. She wasn't worried about any problems with calling Akemi's name in public.

She had already placed a spell nearby to keep out of sight of passersby, so no one else would notice this place.

"For me, a seafood congee will do. I'm sorry, I'm on a diet right now, so I have to be careful about my diet."

"Alright, anyway, the food at family restaurants is pretty ordinary. I'll treat you to a big meal at the Beika Municipal Grand Hotel in a while."

Kaoru Kazama didn't insist, since a family restaurant is fine for getting enough to eat, but it's unrealistic to expect a really good meal.

She was quite hungry, so she just randomly picked a place nearby.

If she hadn't eaten quite a few Ichiraku Ramen in Konoha, she might have just gone straight into a ramen shop for a meal.

"Oh, I forgot to bring some local specialties for Mingmei and the others. That was really an oversight."

While waiting for the food to be served, Kaoru Kazama remembered this matter, but it seemed that there were no local specialties in the Naruto world that were easy to bring back.

We can't exactly give Ai Haibara a pair of Sharingan or Byakugan for research purposes; that would be too gory.

However, it is actually a pretty good suggestion. Although I have received help from Chris, I am still only a novice.

In the field of life sciences, perhaps no one can compare to the genius girl Shiho Miyano.

It's such a waste that Ai couldn't come to the Naruto world with me.

It's worth mentioning that Kaoru Kazama's clones, scrolls, ninja tools, and even his thirty Uchiha sisters from the Naruto world are all safely residing in the system space.

If there's a chance, we could let Ai Haibara study it, but doing so would probably delay the development of the APTX-4869 antidote indefinitely.

This would be rather tragic for the great detective; it's better not to do it.

After all, she only had a slightly wicked sense of humor; she wasn't quite at the level of a devil.

Chapter 667 The Thirteenth Sister of Central is on the road again!

After returning home from the family restaurant, Kaoru Kazama turned around and blocked the two people who were about to change their shoes in the entryway.

Then, to their bewildered surprise, he gave each of them a big hug.

I also got to see Mingmei's weight loss results; it seems she didn't lose weight in the wrong places.

"What's wrong with you? Did something happen at the Metropolitan Police Department today?"

Akemi asked this question.

"Don't worry, I've just gained some insights into life."

"Sister, you don't need to worry about her. I think she's been acting a bit strange these past two days. She even volunteered to work overtime today, which is unbelievable."

From this perspective, Ai Haibara is quite aware of her laid-back nature.

"Yes, working overtime is definitely not for me. I used to just resist it, but now that I've tested it, I've realized that I might be incompatible with working overtime. Even without working overtime, I can still solve criminal cases in a timely manner."

"All we need to do is keep Conan at home, and that's how we achieve a happy and fulfilling world."

"If the great detective knew, he would cry. He's the kind of person who can't stand not going out to solve cases for a day."

As a member of the Detective Boys, Ai Haibara has a lot to say about Conan's death-dealing nature.

"But speaking of which, it seems like Kaito Kid hasn't been very peaceful these past few days. I might have to be seconded there again."

Kaoru Kazama was referring to the news he had just seen at Professor Agasa's house, which showed that Kaito Kid was still quite active.

This reminded her of when she had been seconded to Inspector Nakamori's unit to hunt down Kid.

"Sigh, time travel makes me forgetful. It feels like all of this happened a long time ago."

I'm still finding it hard to adjust to life without my Uchiha sister's help.

Although this is not the right occasion for them to appear, Kaoru Kazama still has a pretty good official task to give her sisters.

I've been away for several days, and I haven't had time to keep track of things before, so "Shiho Miyano" probably hasn't appeared for a while.

"Where should we go this time? Let's not go to such remote places, otherwise it will arouse suspicion. Let's just go to the United States. Maybe we can get the organization and the FBI to have a shootout."

Kazama Kaoru quickly decided on a destination, but this time she didn't use teleportation or anything like that. Instead, she had her Uchiha sister, disguised as Miyano Shiho, set off from Hokkaido in a very open manner, and then try to stay in as many places as possible, preferably taking some photos to commemorate the trip, treating it as a vacation.

This way there will be more eyewitnesses, and it will also allow the younger sisters to observe this new world more closely.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's get some rest."

After saying goodnight to Akemi and Ai, Kaoru Kazama lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep. He didn't suffer from insomnia due to the time-space distortion, and his sleep quality was quite good.

The next morning, after enjoying Akemi's cooking for the first time in a long time, Kaoru Kazama, with a touch of enthusiasm for his work and a deep longing for Miwako, embarked on his journey to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

By the way, because I woke up late as usual today, I missed the morning rush hour and made it to the Metropolitan Police Department without any problems. In the end, I even arrived earlier than some of my colleagues who woke up earlier.

It has to be said that fate plays tricks on people; it seems that being too enthusiastic about work isn't always a good thing.

After making that remark, Kaoru Kazama noticed Miwako Sato's strange gaze.

"Miwako, have you missed me?"

Kaoru Kazama gave Miwako a big bear hug, leaving her standing there somewhat bewildered.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly being so mushy?"

Miwako rubbed her arms, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Kazama Kaoru forgot that this girl was a completely clueless, straight-laced woman, the kind who had absolutely no sense of romance.

"Sigh, it seems that Miwako's mother's beautiful wish is destined to be unfulfilled. She's just not perceptive at all."

"It's nothing, I just feel like I haven't seen you in a long time, and I miss you a little."

"What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Didn't we just see each other yesterday? And you even volunteered to work overtime yesterday. What's going on? Did something happen to you?"

Meeting Miwako's worried gaze, Kaoru Kazama's lips twitched slightly.

What's wrong with this world? Even if I occasionally work overtime while I'm offline, it shouldn't attract this much attention. It's like they're about to ask me if I'm sick.

It seems the world isn't kind to prodigals who turn over a new leaf. I guess I'll stick to my principle of not working overtime from now on; life isn't worth it.

Miwako had no idea that in just a few seconds, Kaoru Kazama, standing opposite her, had gone through a brainstorming session.

She thought something had really happened to him, that's why he was spacing out.

It's obvious that Kaoru Kazama basically doesn't do anything serious at work except slacking off and spacing out.

"I'm perfectly fine, so you don't need to worry about me. Where are you rushing off to in such a hurry? Which clueless thief has offended you, the beauty of the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"You've come at the perfect time. Let's go together. We're called out to a call early in the morning. You've come at the perfect moment."

Kazama Kaoru's words reminded Miwako, who had gone off-topic, that he grabbed her wrist, pulled her into the red sedan that no one dared to ride in normally, and then slammed on the gas pedal.

The "Central District Thirteen Sister" is on the road again.

"Modern transportation is something I really miss. Over there, you either walk or ride a steam-age train, but isn't that a bit too exciting?"

Kaoru Kazama suppressed the urge to vomit. Logically, with her current physical condition, she should be able to keep up with Miwako's frenzied speed. This situation was probably due to the psychological trauma left over from the past.
