Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 204 Holding Hands
Xiao Ai is making a fuss about deleting the surveillance footage.

Masakazu outwardly agreed, but in reality, he had already forwarded the surveillance footage to Akemi Miyano.

Faced with Masakazu's egregious behavior, Ai ran away from home in a fit of pique.

"Do you really want to take the antidote now?" Mingmei asked.

“That’s right.” Ai nodded.

Akemi looked at Ai with concern, feeling very uneasy.

"Okay, sister, there's nothing to worry about. The antidote will be fine," Ai said, hugging Akemi's arm.

After having Shinichi Kudo's blood drawn last night, Ai went home to get checked out.

The result is that she is very healthy.

This indicates that there were no adverse reactions or other illnesses after taking the antidote.

Ai was already at her breaking point.

I can't wait to turn back into Shiho Miyano.

“I think it’s nice to look like a child,” Akemi said with a smile.

"That's not good."

She can't carry the bag she likes, and everyone treats her like a child.

Being treated like a child by too many people makes one's behavior seem a bit childish.

Ai is worried that she will really turn into a child.

That would be terrible.

Akemi looked at Ai with concern, still worried that something might happen to her sister after she took the antidote.

"Should we call Zheng Yi over?" Mingmei asked.

She would feel more at ease if Zheng Yi came over to keep an eye on things.

"No way!" Ai Haibara reacted strongly.

She came to her sister's house so that Zheng Yi wouldn't see her.

Zheng Yi is such a daring guy that he can record videos.

"I'll go to your room to take the antidote," Ai said.

"Ok."

Akemi nodded and watched as Ai took off her clothes and crawled into bed.

She prepared clothes for her younger sister to wear after she grew up, looking at Ai with concern.

With a simple press of the phone in his hand, he could notify Zheng Yi.

Ai, with only her head peeking out from under the covers, said, "Sister, after I turn back, let's leave Masakazu behind and go on a trip."

“Once you grow up, the first thing we need to be wary of is the organization,” Mingmei said.

His own sister was so conspicuous, and she was also a key target for the organization's arrest.

The organization is still very sensitive to information about her.

If she changes back, she should be more careful in her future actions.

Ai pouted.

The organization is indeed a big problem.

I really hope the FBI and the Japanese government can step up their game and take down the organization as soon as possible.

But the chances of this wish coming true are slim.

Given how deeply entangled this bastard Zheng Yi is with the organization, the Japanese government certainly won't go all out to eradicate it.

Ai stretched out an arm and stuffed the antidote into her mouth.

……

They are a family.

Curaçao sat on the sofa watching TV, while Seiichi played video games next to her.

"Click~"

Neither Curaçao nor Shoichi turned around when they heard the door open.

Zheng Yi said, "Ai is back? If you're back, go cook. The chef is off today."

"Then you might as well starve to death."

"Ok?"

Masakazu sensed something was off about Ai's voice and turned around to look.

Curaçao also glanced over and saw a familiar woman with a tan complexion.

Curaçao glanced at Masakazu.

Should I avoid this?
Zheng Yi turned his head away and continued playing his game console.

"Now that it's back to normal, cooking will be much easier; we won't need to stand on the little stool anymore."

"My body is getting bigger, so my physical fitness is probably better too. I'll definitely have more energy to work overtime in the future," Zheng Yi said.

That's such an infuriating remark. Shiho Miyano wanted to punch Seiichi.

But it seems she was mindful that she was now Shiho Miyano, and only one year younger than Masayuki.

Such actions seem a bit too intimate.

"Click~"

Curaçao took a bite of an apple with a blank expression.

It seems that after Ai turned back to normal, Shoichi's relationship with her became much more distant.

Shiho sat on the sofa, unsure of what to say.

The room fell silent.

Shiho casually picked up a magazine from the table and started reading, but her mind wasn't really on it.

She felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Zheng Yi was playing with his game console, while only Curaçao was looking at her with a strange expression.

Shiho almost tore the magazine in her hand apart.

I've never seen Zheng Yi like his crappy game console this much before, and today he didn't say a word else.

"If you're not going to school today, why aren't you going to work?" Zhengyi asked.

Shiho's face darkened.

"It's Ai Haibara who should be at work, it has nothing to do with me," Shiho said expressionlessly.

Why should she go to work in place of Ai Haibara?
Shiho glared at Masakazu.

You'd better shut up.

Making small talk only makes everyone uncomfortable.

Shiho snorted.

If I had known that I would have gone to wander the world with my sister after recovering my current body, I shouldn't have come to say goodbye to Zheng Yi.

No, I'm here to collect my salary.

"Click~"

When everyone was quiet, Akemi Miyano walked in.

She looked at the people inside with a strange expression.

Curaçao was watching TV and playing video games, while Shiho was reading a magazine. They seemed to be not disturbing each other, but it also seemed like they were staring at each other.

What a strange atmosphere.

"Uh, Shiho."

"Hmm, what's wrong, sister?" Shiho asked, standing up.

Akemi asked curiously, "Didn't you say you were coming over to invite Masakazu and the others out for dinner?"

I've been waiting outside for ages, why haven't you come out yet?

Shiho said expressionlessly, "I thought it was still early, so I thought I'd wait a little longer."

"I see." Akemi nodded.

So you made me wait outside for so long without even notifying me?
She glanced at her younger sister. "You seem to be enjoying the magazine."

Shiho remained unfazed by her sister's questioning gaze.

"Alright, let's go eat out," Zheng Yi said.

Shiho then said, "Is it inconvenient for me to go out? It would be terrible if I ran into people from the organization."

"Cough cough."

Curaçao coughed and then went out to prepare the car.

A small blush appeared on Shiho's face.

It seems like there are organized groups within the family.

"Let's go, let's go." Masakazu gently nudged Shiho's shoulder.

"Don't push me, I can walk by myself."

Shiho struggled reluctantly for a moment.

When I was seven or eight years old, you pushed me, and I didn't care. But now I'm eighteen.

Is this decent?

Zheng Yi pushed him once and then let go. As he walked outside, he suddenly stopped.

Shiho looked at him strangely and asked, "Why did you suddenly stop?"

"Are you a child?" Zhengyi asked.

Shiho showed off her little tiger teeth.

Who are you calling a child?
Zheng Yi said, "If you still remember to hold an adult's hand when you go out, what else can you be but a child?"

Zheng Yi raised his right hand, and Mingmei, who was next to him, saw two claws.
