give it all to miss machima

But Shiho ignored her and continued:

"This is just the foundation. On this foundation, we need to strengthen our restraint. Nobody is horny all the time... Besides, I also want to find something to do. I can't continue to be so idle."

"Sure, how about we go on our honeymoon? Even Antarctica, Shiho can go if she wants!"

"No, I wasn't talking about sightseeing..."

Although Shiho also kind of wants to go on a trip, if she goes with this guy, it will definitely end up being a blast the whole way... What's the difference between that and staying at home!?

After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally stated her request:

“I… want to continue researching the medicine my parents left behind.”

"..."

Machima narrowed her eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and then nodded:

"Sure."

Shiho was somewhat surprised by the quick answer, and she looked at Machima with a puzzled expression:

Aren't you going to ask why?

"No need. Anything is fine with Shiho if it's what she wants."

Shiho pursed her lips: "I want to... research the drugs I want to research, not the kind the organization forces me to."

"Shiho doesn't need to explain to me..."

Machima's eyes were full of tenderness and a hint of meaning:

"You just need to tell me what you need, and I... I can give you anything..."

The next day, Shiho Miyano found that Makima was no longer clinging to her like a husky in heat, and that the previous laboratory and related personnel had been handed over to her for management.

A week later, when she restarted the experiment, she finally found an exception among a pile of dead mice—a... shrunken mouse.

Looking at the mice that had regressed to the size of infants, Shiho Miyano smiled slightly.

That evening, in Akemi's room

These days, Shiho has been sleeping with her older sister.

—Although reluctantly, Makima did follow Shiho's request for moderation, but…

That guy wouldn't let go of the loophole—once is once, but even if it's a whole night, it only counts as once.

Having experienced firsthand the power of Machima to leave one unable to get out of bed the next day, Shiho now chooses to feed Machima during the day and then escape to her sister's place to avoid being thoroughly tortured.

"So, Shiho, do you really want to continue researching those drugs yourself?"

Miyano Akemi looked at her younger sister, who had changed into her pajamas and crawled into bed, with some hesitation. She still didn't quite understand her sister's recent decision to resume drug research.

The latter shrugged, then smiled.

"There's something... that I'm interested in exploring. In my previous experiments, a very interesting phenomenon occurred, and now it seems very likely..."

At this point, Shiho suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to Akemi, asking:

"Oh, right! Sister, now you can go out by yourself without security, right?"

"Hmm? Hmm... Although that's what you say... I'm not entirely sure if Makima actually sent someone to secretly... um... protect me?"

"So, if you wanted to get rid of any potential security personnel, was it possible to shake them off?"

Akemi Miyano thought for a moment and nodded:

"There shouldn't be any problem... right? Tokyo has so many subways and buses. As long as you take the peak hours and change trains a few times, you should be able to shake off the people who are secretly chasing you."

Shiho Miyano's eyes held a hint of suspicion:

"Huh...really?"

"Hey, I've received training from the organization and learned how to counter tracking... Of course, I'm not very good at it."

At this point, Akemi looked at her younger sister with some worry:

"Shiho, what are you planning this time?"

"It's not about running away or anything... I just want my sister to do me a favor."

Shiho's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Sister, do you remember that bombing?"

Mingmei found it strange; how did things end up back to that bombing case again?

"Remember, that Moriya Teiji who wanted to blow up his asymmetrical building? For that reason, he was a complete madman..."

"Did you remember the famous detective Kogoro Mouri who was sleeping, from the related events reported on TV those two days?"

Upon hearing Shiho's words, Akemi immediately recalled the middle-aged man with a mustache who boasted about finding the mastermind behind the crime and who stuck out his tongue and made a comical laugh in front of the camera.

"Oh! Yes, that famous detective who rose to fame recently. I saw him on TV the other day. He solved another case for the police! Wait a minute, Mori... the girl you mentioned who defused the bomb, isn't her last name Mori too?"

Shiho nodded:

"I was able to survive that time thanks to her... So, sister, I'd like you to give that Miss Mori a thank-you gift for me."

Akemi found it a little strange:

"Why do you have to do this kind of thing secretly?"

Because Machima had previously tried to kill that famous detective...

Moreover... if things really turn out as she predicted, then if that famous detective is discovered by Machima, he might be captured and used as a test subject...

"Anyway, I definitely have my reasons. Just say I'm not available to come out, so please convey my gratitude to Ms. Ran Mouri for me... Also..."

A glint flashed in Shiho Miyano's eyes.

"Don't worry about anything else, just keep an eye out for Ran Mouri. Is there... a child next to her?"

Chapter 121 Conan's Daily Life of Courting Death

39, 5-chome, Beikacho, Mori Detective Agency

Although the number of people seeking help has increased since the agency gained fame, the Mouri Detective Agency is unusually quiet today.

After all, in such a large town as Beika, there aren't cases that require Kogoro Mouri's intervention every day... right?

In short, the weekend was as peaceful as usual—Ran was busy cleaning, while Uncle Mori was watching TV with nothing to do, watching an interview program hosted by his favorite star, Yoko Okino.

"Ms. Tomie, since your debut, you have starred in many films. So... do you consider yourself a talented actress?"

Tomie on the screen smiled modestly: "Hmm... how can it not count?"

"However...we've noticed that some viewers have commented that your acting skills are far from good. Do you care about these kinds of negative comments?"

"Hmm? There are actually people saying that? I bet they're just ugly women who are jealous of my beauty?"

"Cough cough..."

The host, Yoko Okino, quickly composed herself and moved on from the topic.

"Then... Ms. Tomie, in your mind, what kind of role does an actor play?"

"What kind of role is an actor? Hmm... I suddenly remembered something a senior once said... Hmm... an actor... uh... Miho-senpai said... Hmm..."

Tomie.exe seemed to have stopped running. After a few seconds, she couldn't help but laugh and ask:

"By the way, will this... be broadcast?"

Host Yoko Okino forced a smile:

"Um...this is a live stream..."

"Really..."

Uncle Mori sipped his beer, glancing at Tomie on the screen with slight displeasure.

"Why did you have Ms. Yoko interview this guy? His emotional intelligence is incredibly low, his acting is practically nonexistent, and I heard he acts all high and mighty and looks down on everyone. His only redeeming quality is that he's undeniably beautiful... It's infuriating that a woman like that can keep getting paid so many roles. The Japanese entertainment industry is truly doomed..."

Conan, who was reading the comics nearby, could only chuckle to himself.

What else could it be? There must be some kind of capital backing it up.

For rich people, looks are the most important thing. As long as they keep the bosses and presidents happy, it's perfectly normal for them to be able to play any role they want...

As the doorbell rang, Ran Mouri went to greet her first:

"Hello, this is the Mouri Detective Agency. May I ask why..."

"Ah, you must be Ms. Mori!"

Akemi Miyano took off her hat, looked Ran up and down, and then shook her hand:

"Hello, I'm Akemi Miyano. I've come here specifically to thank you for saving my sister's life some time ago!"

"Uh...who is your sister?"

"I'm so sorry, I apologize for my intrusion. My sister's name is Shiho Miyano. Oh, by the way! Miss Makima also owes a lot to Miss Mori that day..."

Shiho! Ma...kima!?

Conan, sitting on the sofa, was so startled that he almost dropped his comic book on the floor.

Here it comes!

Has that woman with close ties to the organization sent someone to look for clues about Shinichi Kudo?

"My sister is currently unable to go out, and Machima is also... um... temporarily busy, so I came to visit specifically to offer a small token of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it!"

Ran Mouri looked at the obviously expensive gift in Akemi's hand and felt a little embarrassed.

"Ms. Akemi, you're too kind. I was just trying to save myself that time..."

Ran Mouri warmly welcomed Akemi Miyano, who, looking at Conan Edogawa and recalling her sister's instructions, asked curiously:

Who is this child?

"Ah! This is Conan, the child who's temporarily staying with us?"

Conan immediately put on an innocent and ignorant child's act:

"I...I'm Conan Edogawa, nice to meet you, big sister~"

After that, he quietly stayed to the side, pretending to be reading comics, but in reality, he listened to Miyano Akemi and Mouri Ran's conversation without missing a single word.

"By the way, speaking of which, is Miss Machima's injury serious?"

"Although it was very serious at the time, fortunately, the doctors who came all said that the spine was not injured, and the recovery is going very well."

The doctor who came...

Sure enough, the other party had a private doctor. It was impossible to find the doctor in the medical records of major hospitals, but such a person must have a top-notch private doctor, which might be a breakthrough.

Obviously, Conan didn't expect that someone didn't need a doctor at all...

"I heard from Shiho that Ran Mouri was able to calmly defuse the bomb under such dangerous circumstances; it's truly admirable..."

"Oh, not at all, hehe... Actually, I was terrified too, but thankfully Shinichi encouraged me..."

"Shinichi?"

Oh no... As expected, they've started investigating my identity!

But what Conan found strange was that after the other party expressed his admiration for Shinichi Kudo's abilities and composure, he did not ask questions such as where Shinichi was or when they last contacted each other. Instead, he steered the conversation toward more mundane topics.

"Miss Ran Mouri, if I'm not mistaken, you're a high school student right now, aren't you?"

"Hmm? Hmm! Oh right, I'm currently..."

"It's Teitan High School, isn't it!"

Mingmei immediately answered with a hint of excitement.

"If it's Beika Town, then it should be Teitan High School, right?"

"Oh, Miss Akemi, did you also study there? Could you be my senior?"

Akemi smiled and shook her head:

"No, no, I only attended Teitan Elementary School. I originally planned to continue my education and attend Teitan High School, but... because of my parents' work, I often had to transfer schools."

"Teitan Elementary School..." A hint of nostalgia flashed in Ran's eyes, "Shinichi and I graduated from Teitan Elementary School too..."

"Oh, did you bury a time capsule when you graduated?"
