Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 196 Ai: I Have a Kissing Scene

"Who exactly is this person who has helped me so many times recently?"

Zheng Yi, holding the script, read it aloud expressionlessly:

"Ah~ Nameless knight shrouded in black, if you would grant this princess's humble wish."

"Please, take off your black mask and face me with your true face!"

Ai is wearing a gray paper bag on her head, with two holes poked out where her eyes should be.

She spoke with intonation:

"If it is the princess's request, I am willing to present this face, etched with ugly scars, to her under the moonlight!"

"Hehe~"

"Can you be serious for once?" Ai asked helplessly as she pulled off her mask.

Zheng Yi, holding the script, said with a smile, "Are these really lines that a human could write?"

That's so cheesy, it gave Zheng Yi goosebumps.

“This was written by Sonoko,” Ai said expressionlessly.

She tugged at her cheek.

He said in a low voice, "The school is holding a carnival, and I want to perform. Could you please cooperate with me a little?"

“If you like acting, you can participate in my movie ‘Orphan’,” Zheng Yi said.

"You still bring that up!" Ai rushed over and tugged at Masakazu's face.

She wouldn't want to act in a movie that's so unfriendly to her.

Masakazu picked up Ai, and Ai's short legs flapped in mid-air before she started kicking Masakazu.

Zheng Yi, holding the script, asked:

"So, you're playing the male lead in the script?"

“That’s right.” Ai nodded and said, “Ran will play the female lead.”

Zheng Yi said, "Are you trying to make the audience laugh themselves to death?"

In the script,

Ai, wearing a mask and with her short legs, goes to defeat the bandits and rescue Ran. It's hilarious no matter how you look at it.

"Oh dear! What can I do!" Ai said, rubbing her head. "It was Sonoko who signed me up."

That jerk, saying she wasn't keen on group activities, just signed her up anyway.

Sonoko even cheekily told her that she and Ran had a kissing scene.

He threw the script aside and said to Ai, "It's too embarrassing to read these lines. Go find your sister."

"I don't want to," Ai said.

It would be embarrassing to go to my sister's place; she would make fun of me.

Ai jumped off Shoichi and said:
"I need to take the antidote."

Ai Haibara is absolutely not allowed to live to see the day of the school fair; only Shiho Miyano can be there on that day.

"The lab rats haven't been eaten yet, isn't it too dangerous?" Zheng Yi said worriedly.

"What about the white mouse?" Ai asked.

Zheng Yi said, "The white mouse was worried that Xiao Lan would discover his problem, so it has already run away."

Ran's attitude is getting increasingly strange, and Conan has already made an excuse to go camping with Professor Agasa and the three little ones.

Ai showed off her little tiger teeth.

It's all your fault! You coveted the Kudo family's money and didn't give him the drug to test immediately, letting the guinea pig escape.

Zheng Yi stretched out his arm and rubbed it against Ai's little tiger teeth.

Ai spat several times in disgust, then carefully wiped her mouth.

Looking at the annoying Zheng Yi,

Ai said mischievously, "How about you eat an APTX-4869 pill to turn into a child, and then take the antidote?"

Masakazu squatted down, looked into Ai's eyes, and said:
"You want me to be your guinea pig?"

Ai nodded.

Masakazu raised his hand and flicked Ai's forehead.

"Ow~"

How could you be so mean?

What if I die after taking APTX-4869?
Ai rubbed her head.

It was just a joke. Zheng Yi is a guy who can't take a joke at all.

Ai pouted and asked, "You look so unlucky today, did someone rob you?"

"Yes."

"Ok?"

Ai's eyes widened. "You'll still get robbed?"

Could it be that they didn't manage to rob anyone, so they're just claiming they were the ones who got robbed?

That's always been the case with Zhengyi.

Earning less is equivalent to losing money, so they start exploiting their employees.

She suffered greatly from it.

"I really got robbed," Zheng Yi said.

He took out a newspaper and showed it to Ai.

It clearly stated that Sumitomo Bank had been robbed of one billion yen.

Ai blinked, feeling a sense of temporal and spatial displacement.

One billion yen?

Bank robbed?
"My sister..."

“That’s right, it was your sister who did it. Remember, your debt has increased by another billion yen,” Masakazu said.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ai said, dissatisfied.

Don't add to my debts for no reason.

Although I have no intention of paying back the money.

Ai clings to Shoichi's hand as she looks at the news.

The bank robbery had absolutely nothing to do with her sister; the only difference was that the amount stolen was somewhat similar.

The organization had initially assigned her sister a task worth one billion yen.

Zheng Yi's bank was actually robbed! Someone dared to lay a hand on Zheng Yi; they must be incredibly bold.

"This person has shown their face," Ai said.

"Hmm." Zheng Yi nodded. "But a face isn't very useful; he'll probably be killed by his own accomplices."

Ai nodded.

You seem to know a lot about criminals.

"Could it have been done by someone from the organization?" Ai asked.

Everyone in Tokyo knows that Sumitomo Bank belongs to your family, and that you have a vengeful nature.

Aside from that idiot Gin, who would dare to rob you?
"It would be better if it was stolen by an organized group."

Then we can take it back double the amount.

Even if you complain to the boss, he'll still be in the right.

Unfortunately, that's not the case; Gin hasn't gone mad with greed or loss yet.

Shoichi rubbed his head and said, "Hurry up and work hard for me to make up for this 1 billion yen loss as soon as possible."

Ai's head shrank back.

He wouldn't even let Zheng Yi touch his head.

Despicable capitalists.

If your money was stolen, go find the criminals or the insurance company. Why are you exploiting a young girl like me?
I really want to call the police and report Zhengyi for employing child laborers.

"I'm going to find my sister," Ai said.

Being with Zheng Yi makes me feel uncomfortable.

“Your sister is at work, she’s not home,” Zheng Yi said quietly.

Ai gritted her teeth.

That's outrageous! That despicable capitalist!

Zheng Yi stood up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to find your sister and we'll go out to eat together."

"it is good."

Zheng Yi's hideous face appeared slightly softer.

Ai naturally took Shoichi's hand and followed him out the door.

"Xiao Ai."

"what happened?"

"You even performed on stage at the carnival, are you really not going to star in my new movie? You're the perfect leading lady!" Zheng Yi said cheekily.

"You're so annoying!"

Ai flung Masakazu's hand away.

She would never play a psychopath, much less your daughter!

Damn it, I won't let you hold my hand anymore.
