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

"I don't know if it's a man or a woman."

"I heard her surname is Haibara."

"Conan, what do you think?"

The three of them immediately ran to Conan's position.

Conan thought for a moment and said, "I think he's probably a bookworm."

"So it must be a boy."

A short while later, the homeroom teacher, Ms. Kobayashi, brought Ai Haibara into the classroom.

Everyone in the class turned to look at Ai Haibara.

"so cute!"

The students exclaimed in unison.

After writing down Ai Haibara's name, Ms. Kobayashi asked the students to take good care of the new student.

Genta couldn't wait to pull out the chair next to him so that Ai Haibara could sit at the same table with him.

However, Ai Haibara completely ignored Genta.

She walked straight to Shinichi Kudo and chose to sit next to him.

For no other reason than to be able to better observe my experimental materials.

Conan never expected that this new classmate would be sitting at the same table as him.

After looking him up and down, Ai Haibara calmly said, "Nice to meet you."

"Ah good."

noon.

Ai Haibara stretched and yawned, relieved that she had finally made it through the morning.

Who understands the helplessness of someone with a doctorate going back to first grade?

Conan was also eating lunch with the other three members of the "Young Suicide Squad," while casually teasing the new student behind his back.

Genta spoke first: "What's wrong with you? You have a sour face all day long."

Ayumi hesitated and said, "Maybe I'm just a little nervous on the first day."

Mitsuhiko agreed: "I think so too, and I think she looks really cool!"

As he spoke, Mitsuhiko blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed for himself.

"Conan, what do you think?"

Ayumi looked at Conan.

"Ah, I think it's alright. Maybe it's just because we're not familiar with each other yet."

"Hmm, how about we walk her home after school this afternoon? That way we can chat along the way and get to know each other."

Faced with Ayumi's suggestion, Mitsuhiko was the first to agree, and Genta nodded in agreement after thinking for a while.

The three of them looked at Conan, who was still busy eating the bento box that Ran had made.

Conan quickly swallowed his food and replied, "I have no objection."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Ai Haibara was still sitting quietly in her seat, her bento box still unopened. She had been so focused on watching a group of people not far away eating their bento boxes and chatting and laughing.

However, her attention was mostly focused on Conan.

Unexpectedly, he got along quite well with this group of elementary school students. Seeing them chatting and laughing together, Ai Haibara was suddenly reminded of her own study abroad experience and felt a little sad.

Suddenly she remembered Kurokawa's words.

Is this a rare and precious opportunity?

I glanced at the bento box on the table, and decided to fill my stomach first.

I opened the bento box and took a look.

Two thick omelets with vegetables, stir-fried beef strips with green peppers served with rice, and some broccoli.

That's quite a feast!

Ai Haibara felt it was quite an achievement to be able to make a bento like this while making breakfast.

Picking up her chopsticks, she quietly said, "I'm starting to eat."

The taste was surprisingly good.

Ai Haibara ate her bento box in small bites.

I didn't put down my chopsticks until I had finished the entire bento box.

I'm a little... full.

The portion is a bit too much.

As the school bell rang, signaling the end of the school term.

at last!

Ai Haibara saw the trumpet of victory.

We've finally made it through this day.

As expected, the group of reckless teenagers intercepted Ai Haibara and asked her to take her home.

While changing shoes at the shoe cabinet, the group introduced Ai Haibara to the "Young Suicide Squad" and sincerely invited her to join.

Upon learning that Conan was also a member, Ai Haibara immediately agreed.

Yuan Tai also showed her his shoe cabinet, which he used as a consignment receiving point.

However, when they opened it, only his shoes were inside.

Just when he thought he had no requests for help that day, he found a note inside his shoe.

The client has arrived!

The group immediately began their operation, and Ai Haibara was naturally taken along as well.

A classmate from the next class asked them for help in finding his missing brother.

Yuan Tai readily agreed.

"Alright, Junior Detective League, let's go!"

However, by sunset, the group still hadn't found any clues.

Conan did have some ideas, but he didn't intend to take these burdens with him, so he made up an excuse to let them leave first.

Ai Haibara watched Conan's departing figure, a subtle smile playing on her lips.

He then looked at the other members of the "Teenage Suicide Squad": "I think he found some clues, but he's only thinking about taking all the credit for himself. He's probably off to act alone now."

After hearing this, Genta suddenly slapped his thigh: "Conan did the same thing before! This guy is going too far! Let's hurry and follow him!"

Several people nodded at the same time.

Ai Haibara followed behind the group, but after glancing at the darkening sky, she took out her phone.

I found the only contact person listed above and called them.

"I might be home a little late today."

"You're with Shinichi Kudo?"

"Yes."

Have you encountered a case?

"It's just a small commission."

"No one died?"

"No."

"That shouldn't be the case. Never mind, anyway, be careful. I'll save your food."

Ai Haibara suddenly felt a strange emotion.

But I can't quite put my finger on it.

After a few seconds of silence, she said something.

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Ai Haibara was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until the group of reckless teenagers in front noticed she had fallen behind and turned back to call her that she snapped out of her daze and caught up.

Ayumi asked with concern, "Haibara-san, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just telling my...parents."

After thinking for a moment, Ai Haibara finally squeezed out the word "parent".

In a way, yes.

At this moment, Yuan Tai clutched his head and said, "Oh no, I forgot to tell my family."

"Ah! Me too."

Ai Haibara silently took out her phone.

"You should all remember your home phone number, right?"

"Thank you so much, Haibara-san."

Ayumi and the others excitedly took the phones and took turns calling their families to tell them the news.

At home, Kurokawasaki Tsuki felt something was amiss.

No one died? They're really lucky.

Has Death been nerfed?

.........

Conan has been following the clues provided by passersby and is getting closer and closer to the place where his client's brother was kidnapped.

Just as he continued to inquire about clues.

A passerby pointed out the window and asked tentatively, "Are those children over there looking for you?"

Conan turned around and saw Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko's faces pressed against the glass.

The three men had sharp eyes and exuded an invisible resentment.

Conan unconsciously swallowed.

The three of them rushed in and denounced Conan for his disloyalty in abandoning them to search for the truth.

He almost got beaten up by Yuan Tai.

Conan chuckled awkwardly, "Haha... how did you guys follow us here?"

"Thank goodness for Haibara's reminder."

This guy!

Conan looked at Ai Haibara with displeasure.

But it doesn't matter, Conan begins to demonstrate his amazing deductive skills.

Based on the clues he had just received, he had determined that this was a case of kidnapping, coercion, and forcing others to counterfeit money. The hideout was cleverly placed in the dark, right next to the police station.

Conan then instructed everyone to stay put, while he himself went to contact Inspector Megure using Shinichi Kudo's identity.

The three members of the "Daredevil Gang" watched Conan's departing figure and each said something.

"how so."

"Conan kept telling us not to move."
