Ke Xue: I have a knife, and you still dare to fight me?

He thought about his recent contacts with the winery, and it seemed that there weren't any major flaws.

It's unlikely that the trail will go back to him.

Unless the brewery conducts a thorough purge of every single one of the top-ranked kendo practitioners in Japan.

Then he was out of options.

After instructing Amuro Tooru to continue monitoring the brewery's movements.

He tossed his phone aside.

Time to go to bed.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki was sleeping soundly.

Inside the ancient castle deep in the forest.

One witch, however, couldn't sleep all night.

She frantically searched through ancient books, seemingly insane.

"Miss, it's time to sleep."

The old butler reminded him, his voice trembling.

Then she was glared at by Koizumi Akako.

The next day.

Ekoda High School.

Kaito Kuroba looked at Akako Koizumi, who looked tired and full of resentment, and was a little confused.

Who has upset her again?

.........

I don't know how many days passed.

On the table.

"What did you say? Your sister and Shuichi Akai are coming to see you?"

Kurokawasaki looked at Haibara Ai with some curiosity.

The two of them had just said they wouldn't come back easily unless something serious happened.

Why have you changed your mind again? Do you no longer care about the distillery?

"Yes, my sister has been learning disguise and voice changing from the FBI in the United States. Now she is completely like a different person. Even Shuichi Akai said that my sister is no longer the Akemi Miyano she used to be."

Ai Haibara said with some excitement.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki put a mouthful of rice in his mouth and then said.

"Now that you mention it, I'm also a little curious about your sister's academic progress. This has been your sister's long-held wish, hasn't it? To completely break away from the organization and start a brand new life."

"Yes, yes! Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for all of this."

Ai Haibara looked intently at Tsuki Kurokawa.

"I've already said, you don't need to be polite with me. I've now fulfilled my wish."

"Your wish?"

"Yes, I've always wanted a little sister. I was so envious of other people's little sisters when I was little."

Why would you be envious?

"How fun it would be to have a little tagalong following you around!"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki reminisces about the kind of life he used to envy in anime, a life with a sister and a house.

Ai Haibara saw him lost in memories, silently imagining how Kurokawasaki Tsuki was neglected by his parents and had no friends when he was young, and could only be all alone.

This inevitably resonated with many.

This was also the path she had taken.

However, she now has a chance to make amends.

It's just a pity for Kurokawa.

The dangerous idea of ​​feeding Kurokawasaki Tsuki a pill of APTX-4869 popped into Ai Haibara's mind.

However, she only thought about it.

"but……"

Ai Haibara's voice pulled Tsuki Kurokawasaki back from her memories.

"But what?"

Haibara sighed.

"I haven't told them about my current situation yet."

"Don't they know you've shrunk?"

"Well, the antidote hasn't been developed yet, but perhaps we can rush to make a temporary one to deal with it."

"The feeling of getting bigger and smaller must be unpleasant, right?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki recalled the painful look on Haibara Ai's face when she could change size at will.

"well enough."

Ai Haibara took a bite of food, chewed it vaguely, and brushed it off.

"Didn't you consider letting them see you like this?"

"This is what I'm struggling with right now. I don't know how my sister will react when she sees me like this."

"I think she'll be quite...surprised? After all, she'll get to see her cute little sister from when she was little again."

When Ai Haibara heard what Kurokawasaki Tsuki said, she also held her chopsticks and imagined it for a moment.

That seems to be the case.

When her sister first sees her, she'll probably be worried, but then she'll be pleasantly surprised.

Then she kept calling him "Little Shiho".

Just thinking about it made Ai Haibara's face light up with joy.

"You're drooling."

Kurokawa Saki said quietly.

Ai Haibara immediately and subconsciously wiped her mouth.

But there was nothing.

Ai Haibara's Byakugan +1.

Did they give an exact time?

"Not yet, my sister is still discussing it with that man."

"Being cautious is understandable."

“I also tried to persuade my sister to give up the idea, but she said she had already asked Shuichi Akai, and the man said something like, ‘If you really want to see your sister, I will go with you to see her.’ That’s about it.”

"That's really great."

Kurokawasaki Tsuki put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

"Yes, I used to complain that the man didn't think about my sister at all, but now it seems he's alright."

Ai Haibara said indifferently.

"Then let me know when they've finished discussing it, so I can make some preparations."

Kurokawasaki Tsuki got up and walked to the living room, turned on the TV, and began to lie there like a corpse.

Ai Haibara's Byakugan +2.

Afterwards, Ai Haibara quietly ate her meal.

He continued to ponder Kurokawasaki Tsuki's suggestion.

I want my sister to see me like this...

It seems...not bad?

Chapter 137 Camping Again

Just as Ai Haibara was thinking about meeting her sister in this body, Conan was in a terrible predicament.

Inside A Li's house.

Because the bathroom at the Mouri Detective Agency was broken and the public bathhouse was closed today, Conan and Ran went to Professor Agasa's house to use the bathroom.

While Xiaolan was taking a shower.

Conan, resting his chin on his hand, said to Professor Agasa sitting opposite him, "I think Ran has been acting really strange lately."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"I often have this feeling that the way Xiaolan looks at me and her attitude are not like a young girl looking at an elementary school student, but rather like..."

Conan recalled that when he was still Shinichi Kudo, Ran looked at him with the same eyes she had now, her eyes filled with an indescribable tenderness.

"Shinichi, no way?"

Professor Agasa's expression also became tense.

"Has Xiaolan already seen through your identity?"

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it."

"That would be terrible if that were the case."

"What are you talking about?"

Xiaolan had already finished showering and came out, casually saying something behind the two of them without them noticing.

"Ah, nothing, nothing..."

Conan and Professor Agasa both waved their hands in denial.

Xiao Lan looked at the two of them strangely.

"But I think I just heard something like 'Oh no' or something."

"No, no, Sister Xiaolan, you must have misheard. I was just discussing a camping trip with the professor."

"Is that right?"

Xiao Lan asked suspiciously.

The professor quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "That's right, that's right, I was just talking about this with Conan, haha..."

"Okay, by the way, Doctor, could I borrow a hairdryer for a moment?"

Xiaolan rubbed her wet hair with a towel.

"Haha, of course no problem."

Professor Agasa immediately pulled out a hair dryer and handed it to Ran.

"Thank you Doctor."

Xiaolan grabbed a hairdryer and went to find a power outlet to dry her hair.

Watching Xiaolan leave.

Professor Agasa and Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew, so dangerous.

"By the way, Doctor, do you know how far along the research on Ai Haibara's antidote has progressed?"

"Hmm—well."

Professor Agasa rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment before saying, "When I helped her download the data she retrieved from Beika Hotel, I think I heard her say something like, 'With this data, the antidote should be effective soon.' I suppose it should be soon."
