The world of science is unscientific

Conan glanced at Ran Mouri beside him and felt a strange melancholy creep into his heart.

He used to rely solely on himself, which resulted in very slow progress.

Later, he stopped being stubborn and began to accept the help he was suspected of receiving from Professor Agasa, Ai Haibara, Heiji Hattori, and others. Now, he has fully accepted the existence and assistance of Yusuke Suzuki and the FBI.

But when facing the organization, he was still confused and couldn't see the way forward.

Does this mean he'll spend the rest of his life fighting against the organization?

He himself is fine; this is something he has to do.

But what about Xiaolan?

How much longer will Xiaolan have to wait for him?

Although he has started talking to Ran Mouri more frequently on the phone now, the more joyful Ran sounds on the phone, the more guilty he feels.

Perhaps it was the right thing to not confess that night...

The thought flashed through his mind, but Conan quickly shook his head.

Kudo, are you really going to give up?!

This girl is someone you've always... always wanted to spend quality time with!

The organization and such... that needs to be addressed is true, but isn't Haibara also developing an antidote right now?

There are three-day options, seven-day options, a month-long option, and even permanent options.

Shinichi Kudo will never become a stranger in Ran Mouri's life!

I won't allow you to betray her feelings and her waiting, you bastard!

"Conan, what's wrong with you?"

At that moment, Ran Mouri turned around and noticed Conan's struggling expression, and asked him softly.

The bumbling detective was so engrossed in admiring Yoko Okino's face on the TV screen that he had no time to pay attention to this.

Conan woke up with a start at the sound, forced a smile and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that I always think about whether Yusuke-nii does nothing productive all day, which is a bit inappropriate."

"After all, he produced such interesting TV programs."

This is the truth, and it's not like I'm just trying to fool Ran Mouri.

Hearing his words, Ran Mouri showed an expression of agreement, then asked with concern, "Won't it interfere with his work if I keep inviting Yusuke out to play or visit him?"

Conan: "..."

Xiaolan, you're probably overthinking it.

When that guy wants to work, he absolutely won't come out.

If the other party appears in our field of vision, it means that the guy has given himself a vacation again.

After offering Ran a few words of comfort, Conan couldn't help but think of Vermouth again.

That woman has never appeared since that day, and it seems that Ms. Judy from the FBI has no news of her either.

Logically speaking, his and Haibara's identities should have been completely exposed by the other party that day. In the subsequent process, although Suzuki Yusuke repelled the other party, he failed to kill or arrest them.

In this situation, the organization should have rushed towards him long ago. He had been on guard for a long time, but he hadn't seen any movement.

Even now, so much time has passed, and it remains as calm as a still pond.

Surely the organization couldn't have forgotten about him.

Even if we assume he's not important...

Surely there should be enough of Haibara's share?

Could it be that the organization is wary of Yusuke Suzuki?

Or perhaps... your friend actually caught Vermouth that night, or even killed her...?

Conan is more inclined to believe the former possibility.

The lack of cooperation between the Japanese Public Security Bureau and the FBI is obvious.

After Yusuke Suzuki caught Vermouth, he had no reason to tell the FBI, and it was normal for his colleagues to keep the news from him.

It's true that circumstances dictate actions. It's understandable that a victim of an organization that operates outside of all other forces wouldn't have his intelligence shared with him.

And this matter might not actually be blamed on Yusuke Suzuki.

After all, the other party would be restricted by the rules and regulations within the public security system, and even if they wanted to tell him some information, they would probably choose to keep quiet due to some confidentiality regulations.

Thinking about it this way, Conan immediately felt much better.

Beyond the relief for his friends, the biggest relief was that a key member of the organization had finally been apprehended.

If Suzuki Yusuke, who was far away at Professor Agasa's house, knew about Conan's thoughts, his expression would probably be quite complicated.

Soon, the first episode of the first season of "Go Fighting!" finished airing.

Yusuke Suzuki also received the final result.

The second half of the show garnered a 37% viewership rating.

These are outrageous figures.

Even if you asked Yusuke Suzuki to write a book, he probably wouldn't dare to write it like this.

What else can be said?

Great success!

We should celebrate.

So he declined the victory celebration banquet for tomorrow.

It was already 11 p.m., quite late, and Suzuki Yusuke reluctantly decided to stay overnight.

Ugh, so annoying. It's not like he doesn't have a home. Why does he always stay at Ai Haibara's place? Because the guest room hasn't been cleaned, he has to sleep on the sofa...

After washing up, Yusuke Suzuki went to the window, lit a cigarette, and began to think about tomorrow's schedule.

It's simply a matter of whether or not to go to Base 4.

Whether or not to go depends on whether tomorrow is the weekend.

So we just have to leave it to fate?

Yusuke Suzuki stubbed out the cigarette he had just taken a puff of.

He hardly smokes anymore now that Gin isn't around.

Cigarettes truly became a tool he used to hurt each other with Gin.

"Why didn't you finish smoking? Is it because I came?"

At that moment, Ai Haibara's voice came from behind him.

Yusuke Suzuki slowly turned around, and what came into view was Ai Haibara wearing a fluffy pajama set.

The little girl was wearing a hat and a coat, and was holding a rabbit doll in her hand.

This was the first toy that Yusuke Suzuki gave her, and he never expected that his wife would still keep it.

Oh right, the pajamas seem to be one too.

"I just suddenly realized there are some things I don't need to think about anymore," Yusuke Suzuki said, taking a step forward and tossing his cigarette into the trash can. "You've come out to sleep on the sofa with me again?"

"Who wants to sleep with you?"

Ai Haibara tossed her head arrogantly, "I just came out to coax you to sleep, don't overthink it."

Chapter 673 Ai Haibara's Rambling Thoughts

We're an old married couple, why are you still doing this?

Yusuke Suzuki wasn't going to indulge Ai Haibara; he picked her up and carried her to the sofa.

"I'll sleep inside."

He lifted the covers and lay down first, and Ai Haibara followed suit.

The blanket is warm, but Ai Haibara is even warmer.

Suddenly, Suzuki Yusuke realized something and asked softly, "The reason you didn't prepare the guest room isn't just to suppress your urge to sleep with me all night, is it?"

"Um......"

Ai Haibara responded with a nasal tone, but her mouth remained silent.

That's right, that's the reason.

It's just a guest room. Suzuki Yusuke is too lazy to clean it. Can't she clean it herself?

If one day isn't enough, a week is always possible.

But she didn't want it to be like this.

She has indeed given herself away, but that was Miyagawa Airi, that was Miyano Shiho, not her Ai Haibara.

Putting aside issues like identity and physical incompatibility, from an emotional standpoint, she didn't want to completely succumb to the allure of her identity.

What she insisted on was a unique kind of love called restraint.

If she were still Sherry, she wouldn't need to worry about all this.

But now she spends most of her time as elementary school student Ai Haibara.

Restraint stems from not wanting to forget the dangers posed by the organization.

In any case, she must remain sharp and astute, so that she may be able to provide assistance to Suzuki Yusuke at some point.

Or rather, the best help is that she can protect herself.

Restraint is also a way of not wanting to fall into endless dependence.

Yusuke Suzuki loves her very much, which is why she can't always cling to him, even though she wants to. But everyone has a limit to how much they can tolerate certain things.

She dared not imagine the day when she would be disliked by her partner for being clingy, so she wanted to eliminate such a thing from the source.

Ultimately, restraint is for the sake of better remembrance.
