The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

Kaoru Kazama could also tell that although Conan ultimately failed to reveal his identity to Ran, he was still worried about the previous dream.

That dream felt so real.

It is said that dreams are forgotten as soon as you wake up, but even now, when he closes his eyes, he can still see the unyielding sadness on Xiaolan's face.

It was like a knife, piercing straight into my heart, the pain so intense I couldn't speak.

Chapter 671 Ai's Ideal Happy Life

"Alright, alright, do whatever you want. I'm not interested in your relationship troubles."

Seeing Conan's stomach-churning expression made Kaoru Kazama uncomfortable.

"By the way, don't go out unnecessarily these next few days."

"Why do you say that?"

The detective, feeling lost, was not only not comforted but also disliked for his bad mood.

"Even when you're in a good mood, Tokyo's crime rate is already this high. Now that you're so depressed, if you go out for a walk, I'm sure I'll be restless again."

Kaoru Kazama spoke to Conan with a very serious expression, which made Conan unable to utter a word of complaint.

The problem is that he's starting to believe he might have some kind of death aura about him, since he keeps running into cases every now and then.

He had called Hattori Heiji before, and the other said that he only encountered seven or eight cases in three months. He had encountered seventy or eighty cases, which was less than what he had encountered. Could it really be a problem with his constitution?

"Think about it slowly yourself. I'm heading back now. I'll go to the detective agency another day to comfort Xiaolan. Consider it a good deed on my part, so don't be shy."

After saying that, Kaoru Kazama turned and left, but just like before, he insisted on taking the steering wheel from Miwako's hands. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sit in the office properly all afternoon and might end up throwing up in the hospital.

"Would it be better if I rode a Gundam?"

Kazama Kaoru seriously considered whether exercising while sitting on Susanoo after activating his Mangekyou Sharingan would help alleviate his motion sickness symptoms.

If it really works, the complete version might be more effective.

After all, standing higher like this results in greater centrifugal force.

And so, on the second day after Kaoru Kazama returned to the Conan world, unsurprisingly, after handling a case, he returned to the Metropolitan Police Department and dutifully slacked off for a day.

By the time I finish get off work, I've just finished writing the case closure report for the day, not a penny more or less. You could say I'm a veteran at leaving get off work on the last minute.

"Miwako, aren't you leaving yet? I'm going now!"

"Okay, be careful on the road. I feel like I've been a bit lax lately; I should work harder."

Miwako seemed to be full of energy.

However, considering that she went out to answer a phone call before leaving get off work today and then decided to work overtime until dawn, it seems that Aunt Sato has once again ordered her to go on a blind date.

"Oh, poor Miwako."

Kaoru Kazama strolled back to her home.

Just then, Akemi was cooking in the kitchen, and the aroma filled the entire living room, making Kaoru Kazama, who was already starving, even more restless and on the verge of rebellion.

In an island nation where the palate tends to be light and simple, it's quite remarkable to be able to create such a rich and aromatic dish.

Fortunately, Kaoru Kazama lives in a detached villa, otherwise her neighbors would definitely be envious and complain.

"Akami, hasn't Ai come back yet?"

Although Teitan Elementary School does have clubs, not many people participate, since they are all elementary school students. After school, they rush home to watch Kamen Rider.

However, Ai usually accompanies the Junior Detective League after school, ostensibly to experience the youthful energy of children of this age, in order to better pretend to be a seven-year-old.

However, in Kazama Kaoru's opinion, Ai's behavior was simply about having fun.

This guy has lived under the surveillance of the Black Organization since he was a child, from elementary school until he returned from studying abroad to research drugs for the organization. It can be said that he has never had true freedom.

This was the first time she had ever experienced walking home from school with someone her own age (referring to her biological age), so she was a little fascinated by it, as everything was new to her.

Of course, the most important thing is that the great detective always encounters all sorts of events, so it's safe to say that he will never be bored.

"Ai probably went to the professor's house. I heard that the professor is taking them camping soon. Although she doesn't say it, I think she's really looking forward to it."

Mingmei took a spoonful of soup and tasted it, displaying the qualities of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

"Yes, home is the best place to be."

I always felt like a passerby in the Naruto world, and I only truly relaxed when I returned home.

"What's wrong?"

"I just think leaving get off work on time is a wonderful thing."

Kazama Kaoru said something that was very much in line with her nature, and Akemi didn't doubt it. Although she had been feeling quite sentimental lately, this girl often made comments and sighs when she was bored, so it wasn't surprising.

"You've been staying home for quite a while now, haven't you thought about going out for a walk?"

After returning home yesterday, Kaoru Kazama used the Shorthand Manual to cast a spell on Akemi that would prevent her from being seen by strangers, so that she could finally say goodbye to her disguise.

After all, no matter how sophisticated the disguise is, it can't compare to the comfort of walking in the sunlight with your own face.

That feeling of exhilaration is probably like the refreshing sensation of having your face covered in sweat and then being blown away by the wind after taking off a mask after wearing it all day.

"How about we go camping with the professor? I'm a little worried about Ai going on a long trip alone."

Kaoru Kazama is naturally capable of anything, but in reality, she's too lazy to make travel plans. Going on a group tour is certainly a good option.

Yes, lazy people usually travel in groups, which saves time, effort, and worry.

As for Professor Agasa, well, he naturally has to do more work because he's capable.

"That's settled then. I'll go to the professor's house with Ai tomorrow and mention this to him."

In the blink of an eye, the food was ready. Akemi took off her apron and sat down at the table with Kaoru Kazama, who had washed her hands.

When Ai Haibara got home, this was the scene she saw.

"Why don't you eat first? I was working on some data today and forgot the time. I'm sorry."

“If we leave you alone and eat first, you’ll definitely feel bad, right?”

Akemi said with a smile.

It might sound a bit unbelievable, but Ai Haibara, who appears very aloof in public, actually behaves in such a childish way.

But in reality, with her older sister around, she was still a child who was loved, unlike Ai Haibara in the original work, who could only alleviate her longing for her sister by repeatedly dialing her sister's phone and listening to the few words on the answering machine.

Now, Ai Haibara is undoubtedly a girl living in a happy castle, living the life she had fantasized about countless times when she was in the organization.

My sister, with whom I depend on each other, and I have both escaped the control of the organization. We can now live ordinary lives like everyone else, without having to live in fear of the organization's existence.

Seeing her younger sister Mingmei seemingly lost in thought, she smiled helplessly. It seemed that more and more people in this family liked to daydream. She herself also liked to bask in the sun and let her mind wander when she had nothing to do.

If we're really talking about it, it was probably that person who infected me.

Thinking of this, Akemi glanced at Kaoru Kazama, who was already resting her chin on her hand and spacing out, and a sweet smile bloomed on her face again.

"Alright, go wash your hands and get ready to eat, otherwise the food will get cold and won't taste good."

"Okay, okay, sister, you're so long-winded."

Ai scolded her sister, then ran to the bathroom to wash her hands. If Gin and the others saw her with those cheerful little steps, they would probably question their existence.

"This is the happy life I've always dreamed of."

Before entering the restroom, Ai glanced back at her older sister, who was looking at her with a gentle smile under the light, and Kaoru Kazama, who was sitting on the other side, tilting her head and seemingly lost in thought again.

Then, the corners of her mouth curved into a wide arc, revealing a beautiful smile that was very inconsistent with her public persona, but perfectly reflected her current state of mind.

At this point, Ai Haibara is no longer Shiho Miyano of the Black Organization, the genius researcher who inherited the bloodlines of Atsushi Miyano and Elena Miyano, but an ordinary girl with the mental age of twenty, nothing more.

Chapter 672 Sick Xiaolan

"Xiao Lan, are you feeling better?"

Kaoru Kazama sat on a stool not far from the bed and asked, "It's quite unexpected that Ran, who is usually so strong and healthy, would fall ill."

After all, as long as it doesn't involve Shinichi Kudo, she's basically a female hero who could split rocks and break stones without any problem.

"Yes, Ran, how did you suddenly get sick? Could it be because you miss Shinichi too much?"

"Sonoko, what are you saying? Honestly."

Ran blushed bright red at Sonoko's words. Sonoko always teased Ran and occasionally even teased Conan, which was quite similar to Kazama Kaoru's interests.

"Maybe. I think Xiaolan has lost a bit of weight. Isn't this what they call 'I grow thinner and thinner for her sake, yet I have no regrets'?"

"Hey, Sister Xiaoxun, isn't that a line from an ancient Chinese poem? I don't quite understand it."

"Who told you not to pay attention in class? This line is clearly a poem describing lovers, meaning that you gradually lose weight for him and don't regret it even if your clothes become loose. Honestly, it was mentioned in Chinese literature."

The top student Xiaolan is online, and she explained the meaning of this poem very clearly.

However, when she saw her best friend Sonoko's mischievous smile, she realized that Sonoko did understand the meaning of the poem, but was just using the opportunity to tease her.

"Sonoko, really, stop it. Besides, I'm not sick because of that guy. I just didn't cover myself properly with the blanket when I slept last night."

At this point, Xiaolan suddenly remembered a text message she had received from Xin Yifa.

The text message told her not to expose her stomach while sleeping, or she might catch a cold.

"Honestly, they're all like that, but I'm clearly not like that."

As Xiaolan thought this, her face gradually flushed, and her eyes, which were somewhat blurry due to her illness, became even more attractive.

"I'm not saying anything more. If I do, I'll definitely want to strangle Shinichi Kudo. Honestly, why should such a wonderful Ran be given to someone who doesn't know how to appreciate her?"

Actually, Sonoko harbored some resentment towards Shinichi Kudo. Seeing Ran looking haggard and sick, and still missing him, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Ran.

Love is something that makes countless men and women willingly suffer for it.

"Alright, I should head home now, it's getting late."

After Sonoko helped Ran lie down, she prepared to leave with Kaoru Kazama.

"Are you leaving already? Can you sit a little longer? It feels kind of scary to be alone."

Even though Xiaolan is usually very strong and independent, she can't help but act spoiled when she's sick, which makes her even more pitiful.

No wonder Sonoko always felt it was a pity. It would have been the same if she had replaced her with Kaoru Kazama. Such a good girl, and the great detective really didn't know how to cherish her.
