The world of science is unscientific

“It’s alright,” Yusuke Suzuki said, looking at the starry sky. “At least you realized your mistakes just now. I originally wanted to punish you, but I’ve forgiven you now. If there’s a next time, you can pray that I don’t find out.”

"Me too," Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara chimed in at the opportune moment.

The light from the campfire made everyone's faces look especially warm, and it was also the first time that Suzuki Yusuke was eating a meal cooked by Haibara Ai.

The taste is pretty good.

"Yusuke, I'm going to sleep now. Remember to put out the fire when you come in." Professor Agasa greeted Suzuki Yusuke and then went into the tent.

The five little ones also crawled into Suzuki Yusuke's tent.

After waiting for a while, he sat up and found that the cell phone signal was still pretty good.

Edit the email.

Help me snatch three people from the police. —Grouse

【reason. ——Gin】

"I was threatened by those three men, and I had no choice but to shoot myself." —Grouse

Please tell me the details. —Gin

Yusuke Suzuki briefly described what had happened and then informed Gin of the time the police left.

After waiting for about three minutes, Gin replied with "OK".

Putting down his phone, Yusuke Suzuki's face darkened. How dare they threaten him with Ai Haibara and even ask him to shoot him.

He'll show that guy what a wonderful option it is to go to jail!

"Yusuke-nii?"

At that moment, Ai Haibara lifted the tent flap and came out. "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

"I want to see the starry sky again."

Yusuke Suzuki is now a master of facial expression management, able to return to normal in an instant.

“I see,” Ai Haibara said, sitting down beside him with her knees drawn up, and looking up at the sky. “It’s really beautiful.”

"Yusuke-nii...has he killed someone?"

Yusuke Suzuki's eyebrows twitched slightly. Why did he suddenly ask that?

He quickly recalled that he had just contacted Gin and made some harsh remarks in his mind when Ai Haibara appeared. Could it be that his smell of alcohol was too strong just a moment ago and was detected by Ai Haibara?

After a moment of silence, Yusuke Suzuki responded softly.

Will you tell me some of your little secrets?

This time, Suzuki Yusuke wanted to remain silent, but then he thought it wouldn't be good to make Haibara Ai overthink things again, so he said, "Not now, but one day, whatever you want to know, I will tell you."

Ai Haibara didn't say anything more, and after sitting for a while, she returned to the tent.

Watching Ai-chan's retreating figure, Suzuki Yusuke broke out in a cold sweat. Conan, it seems we're about to face the same crisis again.

Chapter 59 Bellflower and Rose

Despite Yusuke Suzuki's repeated assurances that he was fine and just needed some rest, he went to the hospital at everyone's insistence.

They disinfected it, bandaged it, and that was it.

It's the same as not going at all.

There was still no news from Gin. After getting over the emotions he had been in at the time, he realized that his request was a bit too much.

But then he realized something: Gin had actually agreed.

Could it be that in those few short minutes, Gin had already reported it to that gentleman and received his approval?

If that's the case, what does that gentleman want to achieve through this?

Once the words were spoken, the die was cast, and Yusuke Suzuki could only wait and see.

"What are you thinking about again?" Ai Haibara brewed a pot of white chrysanthemum and lavender tea, handed a cup to Yusuke Suzuki, and sat down next to him.

"Thank you," Yusuke Suzuki took the teacup and smelled it. The water was still too hot, and the steam masked most of the floral scent. "I'm making up a bedtime story."

Ai Haibara smiled faintly and said, "Is that so... then when will you finish writing it?"

Yusuke Suzuki remained silent. He felt there was something more to the little girl's words, but he wasn't sure, so he decided to wait and see.

After chatting for a few minutes, Ai Haibara yawned and said, "Don't you need to go to bed? Your leg wound must be very painful."

"It's okay, what would you like to eat later?"

"That's what I should be asking you," Ai Haibara said irritably. "I came here to take care of you, or do you think my cooking is bad?"

"No!" Suzuki Yusuke had barely finished speaking when he saw Haibara Ai's mischievous smile. He changed the subject, "So, you probably won't agree to let me take you home tonight, right?"

“I already told the doctor that I’ll stay here tonight. Your guest room is perfectly fine to move into if you tidy it up a bit, but last time you slept on the sofa by yourself.”

Ai Haibara immediately remembered that she had said the bed was big enough for two people to sleep in, and her face began to burn. She hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go tidy up the room first."

At this time, the doorbell rang.

"Is that Conan?" Ai Haibara muttered, ran to open the door, then her expression changed drastically, and she immediately tried to close the door again.

"Little sister, don't be so nervous."

Shimizu Reiko turned sideways and used her shoulder to push open the door, entered the room, and smiled at Haibara Ai. At the same time, a fluffy little head peeked out from the collar of Shimizu Reiko's leather jacket.

"Meow~~~"

"Asuka!?"

Ai Haibara was taken aback. How could Asuka be in this woman's arms? Could it be that the "friend" Yusuke mentioned was her?

"You're here. Asuka must be very well-behaved." Suzuki Yusuke could only greet her now; he hadn't expected Shimizu Reiko to come.

Ai Haibara knew that Shimizu Reiko had followed him to the hotel during their trip to Izu, and she even barged in once during their physical fight.

Therefore, although Suzuki Yusuke did not explain how he got the gunshot wound, Haibara Ai could definitely deduce that it was Shimizu Reiko who did it.

“She’s so well-behaved, I like her so much… You’re injured!?” Shimizu Reiko, turning her gaze over, noticed the bandage on Suzuki Yusuke’s leg, and her expression instantly turned cold.

As if sensing something, Asuka emerged from Shimizu Reiko's chest and jumped into Haibara Ai's arms.

"It's just a minor injury," Yusuke Suzuki gestured for her to calm down. "I'm not available to entertain you right now, so why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Shimizu Reiko paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Shimizu Reiko turned around, patted Asuka's head, and winked at her with one eye. "Sorry, I scared you just now. Remember to take good care of your master."

After Shimizu Reiko left, Haibara Ai, carrying Asuka, approached Suzuki Yusuke and said coldly, "Tell me, what's the deal with this woman?"

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Yusuke Suzuki reached out and tapped Ai Haibara's forehead. "She's precocious. I have nothing to do with her, don't worry."

Ai Haibara was too lazy to pay him any more attention and put down Asuka to tidy up the room.

After changing hands several times, Asuka seemed to only now remember who her owner was, and she snuggled up to Suzuki Yusuke's hand, begging to be petted.

Yusuke Suzuki held Asuka in one hand and brought her to his face, wanting to tease her. Suddenly, he smelled a faint fragrance.

Laurel!

No, there are other scents too, like rose and lisianthus... Yusuke Suzuki moved the bird closer, and another fresh, orchid-like scent mixed in with the floral fragrance became more pronounced.

"satyr..."

???

Yusuke Suzuki shuddered and turned his head to see Ai Haibara leaning against the door frame of the guest room, looking at him with a look of utter disbelief.

Could she possibly think she's smelling the lingering scent of Shimizu Reiko on Asuka?

While that was indeed the case, he was just curious why the woman had changed her perfume! Maybe he could deduce some information from it!

"Ai, I..."

“No need to explain,” Ai Haibara said nonchalantly. “Anyway, someone said something like ‘I’m a pervert’ the first time we met, right?”

"Who was that person again?" Ai Haibara touched her chin with her fingertips, looking as if she was trying to remember, then feigned confusion and said, "I don't remember, Yuusuke-nii, do you know?"

Yusuke Suzuki: "......"

Why did Ai's dramatic personality suddenly appear?

After dinner, just as Yusuke Suzuki was about to explain that he really wasn't doing anything strange, the doorbell rang again.

Is Shimizu Reiko back?

He tried to open the door himself, but Ai Haibara had already walked over.

"Eh? Only a little girl... Ah, you must be Mr. Yusuke?" The young man in the work uniform glanced at Suzuki Yusuke. "A lady delivered a bouquet of flowers to you. Please sign for it."

"Give it to me, my brother's leg is injured," Ai Haibara said, and thanked him after receiving the flowers.

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a bouquet of flowers placed against the wall of the corridor outside the door.

Seven... roses?

Ai Haibara quickly closed the door, handed the bouquet of bellflowers to Yusuke Suzuki, and said with a soft laugh, "Yusuke-nii is really likable."

This left Suzuki Yusuke dumbfounded. Was Shimizu Reiko really going to do this?

If he remembers correctly, the meaning of the bellflower is something like 'eternal, unwavering love'...

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

They met by chance, got into a fight, and he repeatedly rejected her, but Shimizu Reiko ended up falling in love with him?

You can't write a script like this.

Yusuke Suzuki fell into deep thought. The more Shimizu Reiko acted this way, the more suspicious he felt, but he couldn't figure out what she could possibly gain from him by doing this.

Could it be true?

He didn't believe it; it was too far-fetched.
