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

What a joke! With this mysterious and unpredictable swordsman around, even if the person has no grudge against the brewery, he would still want to make the brewery hate them.

It would be even better if it could cause Gin some trouble.

"Well, Mr. Kurokawa, are you listening? Hello, Mr. Kurokawa!"

Will the other side back out?

Kurokawasaki Tsuki didn't expect that Amuro Tooru would become so enthusiastic after learning that he was actually on the same side as him.

Is she afraid that she'll change her mind?

"Pleasant to work with."

"Yes, it's a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Kurokawa!"

Chapter Ninety-Six: Something Done Casually

Hang up.

Ai Haibara put her phone away and asked, "What exactly did you do to Bourbon?"

However, Kurokawa Saki did not respond for a long time.

Ai Haibara looked up and saw that the other person's eyes were closed and their head was tilted to one side.

？ ！！

"Kurokawa!"

Ai Haibara immediately ran to his side and touched the carotid artery of Kurokawasaki Tsuki.

still alive.

The rise and fall of his chest was steady.

Then she tried to pry open Kurokawasaki Tsuki's eyelids.

However, Kurokawasaki Tsukiichi slapped his hand away.

"Let me sleep for a while."

"Are you alright? Hey!"

But it seemed that Kurokawa Saki had really fallen asleep again in an instant and there was no movement.

"Really."

Ai Haibara looked worried.

Until dusk.

Kurokawasaki Tsukisa slowly got up from the chair.

He stretched.

Hearing the sound, Ai Haibara put down her book and looked at him.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki rarely glanced at the book she was reading, because the cover was quite eye-catching.

Judging from the title, it seems to be a hot-blooded action manga about magic.

After putting down her manga, Ai Haibara asked, "Have you slept enough?"

"Not yet, but shouldn't I be going home later?"

Ai Haibara came up to him, stared into his eyes for a while, and then silently handed him a bento box and a bottle of orange juice.

"Have something to eat, I specially saved it for you."

"Okay, thank you, Ai."

.........

night.

Kurokawa's house.

The first thing Kurokawasaki Tsuki did when he got home was to catch up on his sleep.

Nothing helps you recover better than a good night's sleep.

This trip to Izu was quite fruitful.

They had a great time sparring with the top fighters in the Conan world, successfully made contact with Touko, Ai also gained some understanding of ki from the sparring, and Sonoko even gained a Kyogoku Makoto.

It's a pity that Conan missed a case and didn't get to experience the thrill of solving a detective's crime.

Amuro Tooru managed to leave some loose ends; he not only retrieved all the bugging devices, but also took back a row of bugging devices that had been pasted in an unused room.

He also quietly cleaned the house and gave Big Yellow a wash.

Just as he was about to go to sleep, Ai Haibara ran into his room.

"I still want to ask, what did you do to Bourbon?"

"Are you that curious?"

"Hmm, does magic exist in this world?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki gave him a strange look.

"Aren't you a scientist? How could you ask such a question?"

"First of all, I don't think it's scientifically sound to judge you on your own."

Ai Haibara revealed a serious expression.

"To put it simply, I gave Bourbon a wonderful dream in which I probably chased after him and slashed him dozens of times."

"How did you do that? Was it magic?"

"It's—a secret."

"Is this some kind of forbidden technique? What are the side effects, or what are the consequences?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki was taken aback.

"You didn't read that from that comic book this afternoon, did you?"

Ai Haibara remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"There will definitely be a price to pay."

"What is it?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki replied casually, "Just a little bit of blood. Alright, do you have any other questions? I'm going to sleep now."

"There's still one question you haven't answered: Does magic exist in this world?"

"You'll understand when you encounter it."

"So it exists?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki shrugged.

"Alright, alright, go out now, I want to sleep."

"I understand. I need to go to Professor Agasa's house. Shinichi Kudo is urging me to research an antidote again."

"Now, isn't it a bit late?"

"I'll stay at Professor Agasa's house for the night, and I'll come back tomorrow."

"Then you pay attention to safety."

"Okay, you should get some rest."

After closing the door, Ai Haibara ran to Professor Agasa's house.

At the PhD student's doorstep.

"Oh, it's Ai. What brings you here so late? Shouldn't you be getting ready for bed at this hour?"

"Isn't the professor still tinkering with something too?"

Ai Haibara glanced at the brightly lit Dr. Agasa's house.

Dr. Agasa scratched his head: "Haha, because there are some things that need to be rushed, I might have to work through the night tonight."

Ai Haibara nodded and said, "I also need to do some research and use the underground research lab."

"It's alright, that was originally prepared for you. Are you going to research an antidote again?"

No, something else.

"Oh, okay then. Go ahead and get busy."

And so, the two tech geeks spent the whole night tinkering in their respective labs.

The next day.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki slept until late afternoon.

Slowly sit up in bed and stretch out a big yawn.

Refreshing.

Fully recovered.

Upon entering the living room, he was surprised to find Ai Haibara sleeping on the sofa, cuddling a large yellow dog.

Seeing the two little ones sleeping so soundly, Kurokawa Tsuki quietly went to the kitchen.

I discovered there was a pot of stewed beef in the kitchen.

There's still half a pot of rice left.

The gift from the Conch Maiden.

After serving himself a bowl, Kurokawasaki Tsuki tasted it and found it quite delicious.

Although he didn't make a sound.

Ai Haibara woke up.

She sat up from the sofa and rubbed her eyes.

Big Yellow woke up too and jumped off the sofa.

She walked into the kitchen in her slippers.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki looked at her slightly messy hair and asked, "Did I wake you up?"

Ai Haibara shook her head.

"Why do you look so tired? Did you stay up all night last night?"

Ai Haibara yawned and said, "I had some new ideas, so I experimented with them, which made it a bit late. Oh, by the way..."

She reached into her pocket, pulled out a tube of bright green stuff, and handed it to Kurokawasaki Tsuki.

"this is for you."

"What is this?"

"Supplements and recovery agents have a very good recovery effect on the body, and most importantly, they can promote and enhance hematopoietic function."

Kurokawasaki Tsuki took the medicine in a daze.

"Did you make this specifically last night?"

"No, I just made it while researching the antidote. There's a similar prototype in the organization, but I improved it, and it's more effective at restoring health."

Ai Haibara turned and went back to her room before Kawasaki Tsuki could speak.

Before closing the door, she added, "I need to catch up on my sleep. Don't call me for dinner, I've already eaten."

Kurokawasaki looked at the bright green potion in his hand and felt a little touched.

The child has grown up.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki unscrewed the cap of the medicine.

Here it comes! Let's drink this down to show our deep affection.

The moment it entered his mouth, Kurokawasaki Tsuki almost vomited.
