[This is really troublesome~]
This kind of negative effect that accumulates as the number of rounds increases is the most troublesome in the game!
Even if one has the advantage of foresight, each new round will encounter increasing resistance due to negative effects, and the advantage of the Reincarnationist's foresight will be offset.
Shinpei Amishiro: It seems that Natsuki-kun's reincarnation is not that convenient~
Okabe Rintaro: Although there is no fixed limit such as "world line convergence", the weight that leads to an unfavorable future is constantly increasing. This means that even if Natsuki has adapted to the fear of death, he must overcome the current dilemma before the witch's scent completely fixes his impression of the world-destroying demon king.
Shen Chengzhen: The devil king who destroys the world... I understand~. In other people's eyes, I am now like several devil kings of destruction stacked together - haha~
Higashiotome: What the hell is that... Shen Cheng. I was wondering why I couldn't find you, it turns out you ran away to another world!

Chapter 164 Conan and Natsuyo's turn.
Things on Natsuki Subaru's side are still progressing. At the same time, Conan also has his eyes on other companions.
In the previous round, Natsuki Subaru saw Conan and the others being put together. This is because they are about the same age, or they are all very young.
Among these people, Kotori, who is older and has a more normal personality, passively becomes the role of an older sister, while Conan, because he is too curious and active, becomes the source of headaches for Kotori and other maids.
The situation this time is different.
Although Goblin Slayer and Natsuki Subaru were separated into small groups as usual, Paddo, who was forced to stay by Natsuki Subaru, stayed in the group of children and led everyone in playing games.
With the presence of Paddo, an older adult in the group, Kotori's reliable side as a sister cannot be revealed.
She seemed to be very happy about this. In the unfamiliar environment of the mansion, with the optimistic and cheerful Paddo leading her, she smiled a lot more than in the previous round.
Also because of Paddo attracting fire in front, no one noticed that Conan's obedient behavior was out of place.
The servants in the mansion had never seen Conan before he came to the mansion. They did not think that being well-behaved was Conan's nature, so they treated Conan very well. Seeing Conan sitting with Xia Shi, who was also well-behaved and sensible, they just watched from a distance with a kind smile on their faces and did not disturb him too much.
[Sister Xia Shi, Sister Xia Shi, what did you like to do in your original world? ]
【Um? 】
[That’s right, won’t Sister Xia Shi miss home? ... I miss my parents a little bit. They must be very worried when they found out that I’m missing~]
Conan pretended to be depressed and lowered his head. But in his heart he was complaining:
Given the overly cheerful personalities of that couple, they were able to realize within a month after he was transferred to another world that they had a son far away overseas, which was already a sign of their conscience.
Kudo Yusaku: Is that so? Shinichi, is this how you see your father?
Yukiko Kudo: Wuuuuuu~, it makes me sad, this unfilial son!
Conan Edogawa: Shut up! You former famous actor!
[Yeah, they must be very worried~]
Because of Conan's depressed attitude, Xia Shi's voice naturally carried some worry and sympathy. Conan saw this and launched an attack.
[If, if Mom and Dad mistakenly thought I was dead, maybe they would burn detective stories and footballs for me, because in my original world, I loved reading detective stories and playing football the most! By the way, what about Sister Xia Shi? What stories do you like the most? ]
[Hmm - I like hero stories the most, right? A righteous hero saves the weak with a kind heart and defeats evil. I like stories like that the most.]
[I see~]
Conan curled the corners of his mouth. It was as good as saying nothing. He couldn't analyze anything valuable from it. He couldn't even be sure whether this ambiguous statement was Xia Shi's true intention as a ten-year-old child, or the perfect answer she gave after thinking about it.
[If parents burn the footballs in the other world, will we in this world receive them? ]
This question is in line with the naive and romantic nature of a seven-year-old child, but in order to clearly answer this question, one needs to have a relatively clear worldview and cognitive logic.
[No way? Because we didn't die, but came to another world. ]
[I see~]
Conan cursed inwardly, he said this on the premise that Xia Shi could understand what he said and had the ability to disguise himself. However, regardless of whether this assumption was true or not, Xia Shi only needed to pretend to be stupid to avoid what he didn't want to say.
This is like the classic puzzle in which one person tells the truth and the other only tells lies, and the questioner can only ask one person. If the person being questioned does not need to abide by the restrictions of truth and lies, then no matter what the questioner asks, he will only get the result that the person being questioned wants him to know.
[I really want to eat eel rice~, I haven't eaten eel rice for several days, one, two, three, four, five... Anyway, sister Xia Shi, will I still have a chance to eat eel rice? ]
Kojima Genta:Ah! Conan is imitating me!!
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: As expected of Shinichi, he looks just like him even when he's pretending to be a child~
[Let's go ask the maid later. ]
【Yeah! 】
Conan cheered and clapped his hands. [By the way, what does Natsuyo like to eat? Let's ask the maid to make it for us!]
[…I don’t have any food that I don’t like.]
[Is that so? Can I eat green peppers? ]
Conan fluttered his eyes, but thought in his heart:
What's going on? This weird pause...
Aihara Enju: ...
Rentaro Satomi: Cursed children, they really don’t care about the taste of food.
Achilles: You better stop talking. Don’t wait until the day when my elder sister really goes there. I’m not sure how many people will be left there.
[I have no problem.]
Xia Shi said with a calm smile. Conan laughed twice and scratched the back of his head.
Tooth white... If Xia Shi always looks like this, Conan really won't be able to do anything to her.
[Sister Xia Shi——]
Conan had another good idea, so he cheered himself up, narrowed his eyes and was about to say it.
But at this moment, Xia Shi suddenly leaned down and put her little mouth close to his ear.
Before Conan could feel any ripples in his heart because of Xia Shi's sudden approach, the sound of Xia Shi's "something happened" made him suddenly feel creepy.
[——Okay, okay~, I will listen to you, Kudo, Shinichi-kun? ]
【——】
Conan broke out in a cold sweat.
【? ! ! ! ! 】
His pupils dilated widely, and his expression was as if he had discovered that the man in black who passed by him was actually Gin!
[You, why? ! ! ]
Suzuki Sonoko: Yes! Why? The little brat never mentioned this name? Could that little girl also be able to travel through reincarnation?!
Oreki Houtarou: No...it's very easy to get the answer.
Chitanda Eru: What's going on? Oreki-san, I'm curious!
Arisu Sakayanagi: Let's recall the process of Natsuki-san returning from Ms. Paddy's room last night~.
Ichinose Honami: Ah! I see~. Before leaving, Natsuki-san scared Conan by using his real name - in other words, even though she lowered her voice, the shape of her mouth when she spoke was noticed by Natsuyo who was sitting further in?
Yoshii Akihisa: I see, can Natsuyo-chan read lips?
Hikigaya Hachiman: Considering his amazing intelligence, it's not surprising that he can lip read.
This is exactly what happened.
If Edogawa Conan is a natural detective who instinctively investigates the information around him after arriving in the other world, then Natsuyo's overdeveloped brain allows her to naturally analyze and understand all the information that can be interpreted in her daily life.
Therefore, earlier than Conan, he had already discovered the various unreasonable things about Subaru, and deduced the most likely cause of the mystery surrounding him -
Time travel.
Sherlock Holmes once said: If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth.
This is the logical basis Conan uses to be convinced of Natsuki Subaru's ability, but Natsuyo never doubted his own speculation from the beginning.
She knew Natsuki Subaru's abilities, and she also knew the possibilities contained in other people. She also knew that Subaru was anxious because he was in trouble.
Xia Shi will help her companions overcome difficulties, even if it means going through fire and water. She is aware of this.
As for the performance just now...how to say it?
Even the righteous companions have their own little thoughts. It's quite interesting to see your companions in trouble occasionally, isn't it?
[You guy! Who the hell are you!? ]
Conan questioned in a low voice, and Xia Shi gave a mysterious smile.

Chapter 165 Xia Shi’s unique observations.
Miwako Sato: It's really surprising that Conan-kun would also show this kind of expression~
Haibara Ai: He shows this expression surprisingly often. After all, even if the incident doesn't come to him, he will take the initiative to go and find trouble himself.
Yoshida Ayumi: Why does Ai-chan know Conan so well?
Haibara Ai: ...Because we have similar experiences.
Gin: Ah~, Shirley——!!
Vodka: Boss, stop sighing! Our base is almost destroyed by those cops!
Conan Edogawa: Haha, it’s very lively!
Gin: A high school detective... I remember now, you're not dead? Yes, Shirley is not dead either, did Aptx-4869 succeed?!
Gin: Damn "Bourbon", why can't I get in touch with you at this time——
Amuro Toru: Sorry, sorry, I was also targeted by the CIA and just got away. Where are you now? I'll join you.
Gin: ...I have sent you the address privately. You won't -
Amuro: Haha, anyway, I will still go and take a look.
On this side of the light curtain, Conan was so frightened by Xia Shi's words that his hair stood on end.
In this world, only I and Natsuki Subaru, who has the ability to travel through time and space, know my real name.
Conan's mind worked quickly, ruling out the two unfounded possibilities that Natsuye was the mastermind or that she was also a time traveler. Recalling the interactions between him, Subaru Natsuki and Natsuye last night when they were all present, Conan instantly relaxed.
【Lip reading, huh?】
Xia Shi smiled and said nothing.
She has never learned any lip reading... It's just that the Japanese Conan speaks and the Japanese Xia Shi knows are completely the same, so just by looking at the lip movements, Xia Shi's brain can analyze it and get the specific results.
[So? What are you thinking?]
[It depends on what Conan and Mr. Natsuki want to do. I can provide assistance... Well, this time, can you hold a girls' meeting in the evening in my name? Or, is time more urgent? ? ]
[Have you guessed Caiyue's ability? ]
[I wasn't sure until you said that... I didn't expect that there would be such a thing~]
Conan twitched his lips. For some reason, he felt a sense of defeat, as if he had been defeated in his most proud intelligence and reasoning.
Although he seemed to be defeated in this communication, it was entirely due to the information gap and it had nothing to do with who was stronger or weaker!
[Then, Chishou, who among our companions do you think can help with the current situation? ]
Although they were not competing in strength, Conan still wanted to further confirm Natsuyo's abilities.
Xia Shi tilted her head. After excluding Natsuki Subaru's cheating ability, the ranking in her mind was roughly the same as Conan's.
Just one thing...
[I think Mr. Caiyue's action of leaving Sister Padu behind this morning was the right one.]
[Are you saying that Padodo can be of the best help to the trouble we are facing at this stage? ]
Conan frowned.
This inference is different from what Conan thought.
He had already admitted that Xia Shi was as smart as he, the famous detective. In his opinion, the question just now was just a preliminary test. The results of two smart people on the same thing should not deviate so much.
