Chapter 36 The Birth of Ai Haibara

"I'm back……"

Jolyne, carrying her things, opened the apartment door.

And a small figure had been waiting here for a long time.

She began reciting the results of her day's investigation, as if listing dishes.

"Jolyne".

"Eighteen years old."

"You were an orphan in a welfare home. You were so outstanding in your early childhood that many families wanted to adopt you, but you refused them all."

"The aura of genius gradually fades after junior high school."

"After being admitted to Sobu University in Chiba Prefecture, I completely became an ordinary person and hid out of the public eye."

"You, who are so willing to be ordinary, saw through my true identity at a glance, and you know so much about the Black Organization, claiming to be the same kind of person as me."

Shiho Miyano slowly stood up, tilting her head back to stare into Jolyne's dark eyes.

"There is only one truth: you are also a survivor of ATPX4869."

Jolyne pulled her aside, took out slippers from the shoe rack, and changed her shoes while criticizing her reasoning.

"Wasn't the preceding content a report from some unscrupulous media outlet? I remember it was something like 'The Fall of a Genius'."

"You just made up all this based on things you found online?"

“No need to pretend anymore, I’ve already guessed your identity. You must be a former test subject of the organization, who faked your death by taking ATPX4869 and has been lying in the shadows all these years, investigating the organization’s every move.”

Jolyne did not explicitly refute, which made Shiho Miyano even more convinced of her reasoning.

Otherwise, how can we explain his deep understanding of the organization and the effects of ATPX4869, and why he was a genius as a child?

Jolyne is definitely not a college student, but some kind of old monster who has grown up again.

That's her wisdom.

In some ways, she was right.

"Uncle, we need to have an open and honest talk with this behemoth that is the organization."

Shiho Miyano pulled Jolyne aside and said seriously.

It's a pity she looks like a child now; when she speaks seriously, she seems to be pretending to be an adult, which is kind of cute.

Xu Lun couldn't help but ruffle her short brown hair into a ball. Judging by her height, she was 105cm tall, so she probably didn't buy the wrong size clothes.

"You're overthinking it. I only recently provoked the Black Organization. I killed a few of them, that's all."

When Jolyne patted her head, Shiho Miyano immediately bristled, her lake-blue eyes filled with vigilance.

"You should know I'm not a child, right? Are you some kind of perverted old man?"

Shiho Miyano said it with a sharp tongue.

"Please call me brother. If you're going to be a kid, you should act like one."

Jolyne flicked her head, making her crouch down and cover her head in defense.

Xu Lun handed her the things he had bought and said, "I bought you children's clothes. Go change your clothes. We'll have guests coming soon."

Shiho Miyano took the clothes, paused for a moment, and then slowly said, "Indeed, a child should act like a child. The organization's eyes and ears are everywhere. I need to be more vigilant and act like a real child so that the organization won't discover the truth about my escape."

"Jolyne, I need a new identity."

She raised her head, looking at Jolyne with a firm gaze, her eyes revealing a determination; she was about to say goodbye to the name Shiho Miyano.

"Then, how about calling her Ai Haibara?"

Jolyne asked tentatively.

"That sounds pretty good."

Shiho Miyano, now known as Ai Haibara.

She originally thought she would need to think about it some more, but the first name Xu Lun suggested really appealed to her aesthetic.

Jolyne thought: That's not true, after all, this is the name you originally gave yourself.

Ai Haibara went to the bedroom to change her clothes.

Jolyne was preparing ingredients for sukiyaki and invited Kirisu Mafuyu and Shiina Mahiru to dinner.

In addition, we need to help Ai Haibara get a new identity.

"Paradise, provide me with an item that can solve my identity problem, and the cost must be below 94 Paradise Coins."

[Item found for you - Legal Identity]

Item - Legitimate Identity: Allows you to assign a legitimate identity to a user within a world.

Bonus: None

Usage conditions: It will not feel out of place in this world.

50 Paradise Coins/card (Note: Same as the Paradise Mission World card. Although the identity is legal, there are no traces of it. It is recommended to arrange your identity as an orphan.)

It's very cheap, but there's a reason why it's cheap.

This thing only provides one identity, and it works fine in general. But if someone tries to trace your life from childhood to adulthood using this identity, it will be full of loopholes.

For example, when Paradise arranged for him to be a student at Fujimi Academy, but since he had no real experience of attending school there, none of the students at that school knew him, and apart from Shizuka Marikawa, no one believed the identity that Paradise had planted.

But for Ai Haibara now, it's enough.

The Black Organization was unaware that ATPX4869 also had the effect of shrinking people.

Do they really intend to investigate everyone's life trajectory?

Jolyne bought the prop, and a white card appeared in his hand.

After some thought, Jolyne gradually added the settings to it.

Ai Haibara, 9 years old, lost her only relative in Japan, her grandmother, to illness. Her distant relatives in the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to take care of her, so the old woman entrusted her to Jolyne for temporary care before her death...

Forgive him, he really couldn't think of a better identity setting.

After all, Jolyne herself grew up in an orphanage, so it's impossible for her to portray Ai Haibara as a relative.

If Jolyne is designated as an orphan, she does not meet the legal adoption criteria.

They had no choice but to set it as a temporary measure. As for how long "temporary" it would be, that would depend on when Jolyne defeats the Black Organization and Ai Haibara returns to adulthood.

At that time, Ai Haibara will naturally be able to be taken back by her "distant relatives" in the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

When Jolyne made the arrangements.

Ai Haibara had already changed her clothes; she was wearing an apricot-colored skirt suit with a bear pattern and a doll, and white mid-calf socks on her calves.

She stared at Jolyne with the look of someone who was looking at a pervert.

"This was recommended by the owner of the children's clothing store; it's said to be the most popular style this year."

Stared at by her, Xu Lun felt no guilt whatsoever. He glanced at her and thought that it was indeed quite good, not bad at all, and worth the money he had spent.

"This is your new identity."

Jolyne handed her the white card and said so.

Ai Haibara took it; she had seen something like this in the organization before, but it was strange that Jolyne had one too.

After glancing at his own settings, he skillfully crushed the card and used it.

Several identity documents appeared in her hands; from now on, her identity would be Ai Haibara.

Ai Haibara wanted to ask Jolyne why she had such a thing, but then a guest arrived, so she had to suppress her doubts for the time being.

"excuse me."

Shiina Mahiru knocked on the door, only to find a child opening it.

"Hey, who are you? Where's Jolyne?"

Looking at the rather adorable child, Shiina Mahiru squatted down and asked her a question.

"My name is Ai Haibara. I'm staying here for now. Jolyne is washing vegetables."

Ai Haibara said coldly.

Although she had to pretend to be a child, she couldn't fake that childish voice at all. So she used her identity to pretend to be precocious and aloof.

"Temporary stay?"

Shiina Mahiru glanced at her hair and eyes strangely, and didn't seem to be related to Jolyne by blood.

However, Ai Haibara's expression was somewhat indifferent, and Mahiru Shiina did not ask any further questions.

Entering the house with doubts, Shiina Mahiru quickly cheered up, put on an apron, and cooked with Jolyne in the kitchen.

Ai Haibara, meanwhile, stayed in her room and continued using Jolyne's computer.

She was in a semi-imprisoned state within the Black Organization, unable to access many things and greatly disconnected from reality.

Chapter 37 Do you like this style?

"Jolyne, what's the deal with that child?"

Shiina Mahiru asked Jolyne with some confusion.

"Her name is Ai Haibara. Her relative in Japan passed away due to illness. Because her distant relatives in the mainland were unwilling to take care of her, the old woman entrusted her care to me temporarily before she passed away..."

Jolyne explained to her according to her pre-assigned identity.

"That's it..."

Shiina Mahiru felt very sympathetic, and seemed to think of her own family, which made her mood quite low.

"Shiina-kun, I'll go call Kirisu-sensei to come and serve lunch."

Preparations were basically completed before Shiina Mahiru arrived. Although it was nominally called sukiyaki, Jolyne actually prepared a hot pot.

The biggest difference between the two is whether or not they have a broth base; the taste is not much different.

The preparation is quite simple; just wash the ingredients, cut them into appropriate sizes, and then prepare your favorite sauce.

"Okay."

Watching Jolyne leave, Shiina Mahiru pondered the relationship between Jolyne and Kirisu-sensei.

Ms. Kirisu is very difficult to approach at school; she's a well-known ice queen.

Why did you accept Jolyne's invitation?

Is it simply because of the neighbors?

Shiina Mahiru was filled with vigilance.

……

Meanwhile, Jolyne gently knocked on the door next door.

"Teacher Kirisu, the food is ready."

"I dont go."

Wearing a red tracksuit, Kirisu Mafuyu stood at the entrance, turned her head slightly, and said in a cold tone.

"What's wrong? Tonight's dinner is all your favorites."

“If my students saw me eating at your house, I would lose all my authority as a teacher.”
