The world of science is unscientific

Chapter 679 Conan: What exactly is the reason...?

The configuration of personnel for travel has now almost become a fixed pattern.

Conan and Ai Haibara rode in Yusuke Suzuki's car, while the three children followed Professor Agasa.

Actually, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, Conan and Ai Haibara really can't fully join the trio in doing things that only kids would do.

For example, singing nursery rhymes in the car.

In addition, children often ask some very naive questions. If it happens once or twice, Conan has the patience to answer them properly, treating it as a form of popular science.

But if it happens too often, Conan will also feel very uncomfortable.

While Ai Haibara may not show it clearly on her face, she actually feels this impatience and helplessness inside.

Such situations have occurred before. Once Conan's patience with Ai Haibara reaches its limit, the Junior Detective League can only remain silent afterward.

Therefore, it would be better to sit separately.

The three kids can travel happily, while Conan and Ai Haibara can relax a bit.

To be honest, Conan felt that the car Yusuke Suzuki initially drove was the most comfortable to sit in.

Of course, he didn't get a seat in any of the other cars either.

Looking up, Ai Haibara in the passenger seat was sharing everyday life with Yusuke Suzuki, even talking about things that happened at school.

To be honest, it actually feels kind of... quite comfortable.

It's like sitting in your best friend's car, while he's chatting with his girlfriend, and you're just listening, occasionally chiming in, and taking in the scenery along the way.

Perhaps when I become Shinichi Kudo again and Haibara becomes Shiho Miyano again, this kind of scene will probably happen more often and be more comforting.

Yusuke Suzuki, who was driving, could see the expression on Conan's face and could roughly guess what the other was thinking.

But he still couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to the kid.

Whether Conan is present or not no longer has any impact on Ai Haibara.

Therefore, chatting with my wife is more important and more interesting.

Ai Haibara seemed really eager to talk today, she was practically nonstop, while Yusuke Suzuki mostly listened.

Driving safety is not a problem, after all, it is not difficult for him to multitask now, not to mention that the roads are much more open after leaving the city.

Before long, the two cars had completely entered the suburbs.

The location wasn't far; we arrived in just two hours.

Next up was hiking.

As a middle-aged man, Suzuki Yusuke naturally carried more luggage and equipment, including Professor Agasa's belongings.

Caring for the elderly is his inescapable responsibility.

Actually, it wouldn't be a problem to let him carry everything, but the children should also carry some. They are not incapable of carrying heavy loads, and they should naturally bear the responsibilities and obligations that they should bear.

Ai Haibara refused Yusuke Suzuki's help in order to set a good example for the three children.

Before they had climbed halfway, Yuan Tai was the first to give up and strongly requested a rest.

The group found seats by the mountain road, ate something, and replenished their energy.

Mitsuhiko glanced at Suzuki Yusuke, his expression a mixture of shock and envy, and exclaimed, "Yusuke-nii is carrying so much stuff and he doesn't even look tired. He's amazing!"

"So you should exercise regularly and eat a balanced diet so that you can be like me."

Yusuke Suzuki gave a perfunctory reply, then specifically criticized Conan, "Don't be like Conan, who doesn't like to exercise and is lazy even when doing exercises. Don't follow his example."

Conan, who was suddenly attacked, was completely dumbfounded.

No, what did I do?

I haven't said a word, and I'm just sitting here quietly, yet you still criticize me.

But he really couldn't refute it.

Exercise... aside from playing soccer, there really isn't much else. Suzuki Yusuke has asked him to run together several times before, but he always refused.

And doing exercises... well, that's also a fact.

Looking back now, even putting aside the monster that is Yusuke Suzuki, Heiji Hattori's stamina is much better than his.

Do I really need to make myself stronger?

But... he's just a child!

What's the point of training? Even if you're determined to train hard, the limitations of your body are right there, you can see them at a glance.

He really has no motivation.

Not far from Conan, Ai Haibara sat very ladylike, wiping her sweat with a towel and then taking a sip of water handed to her by her good husband.

If it were just her and Suzuki Yusuke right now, he would probably still feed her.

I really miss that feeling.

Climb up the Alps, and then...

Cough cough... Ai Haibara quickly turned her head to look into the depths of the forest, and hurriedly pulled her wandering thoughts back.

"Is there anything over there?"

At that moment, after distributing the food, Yusuke Suzuki noticed that his wife was looking elsewhere, so he casually asked her a question.

Ai Haibara was still struggling with her past memories when she was suddenly disturbed by this male protagonist from her memories. Her mind went blank for a moment, and various fragments of memories came rushing in.

"I...I think I just saw a rabbit over there..."

In the rush, Ai Haibara could only make up a random excuse.

Yusuke Suzuki immediately knew that his wife was thinking about something strange again.

Putting aside tone and posture, the word "rabbit" alone is a huge flaw. Where do rabbits live in forests?

Fortunately, those who could spot the flaws didn't get involved, while those who couldn't were successfully phished.

Genta jumped to his feet, looking around. "Rabbit? Where's the rabbit? Is it over there, Haibara?"

Before Ai Haibara could speak, he rushed up to Yusuke Suzuki and began applying for activity permissions.

Yusuke Suzuki nodded after a moment's thought.

After all, Ai Haibara's current situation is unlikely to be part of the original storyline, and it's improbable that Genta would cause trouble in the past.

Moreover, Ai Haibara does need a little space right now.

With that in mind, he casually lifted the restraining order on Mitsuhiko and Ayumi as well.

The three little ones dashed into the woods in an instant.

Professor Agasa continued eating, oblivious to the fact that the bread contained jam, and he needed to finish it quickly.

Conan shook his head and sighed.

The current Ai Haibara is so different from the cold girl she was at the beginning.

I just don't know why Haibara suddenly started to get shy. Nothing seems to have happened along the way, right?

Moreover, Suzuki Yusuke just asked a very ordinary question.

What exactly is the reason...?

Conan fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Yusuke Suzuki was also eating by himself.

Now it's just a matter of waiting for Ai Haibara to adjust herself. He guessed that she was thinking about her previous experiences climbing mountains and going to the Alps.

It wouldn't be good for him to go over and ask questions now.

Chapter 680 Since it's a riddle posed by my wife, let's solve it properly.

Ai Haibara recovered quickly, but her face was still red because she was thinking about the stimulating images.

With Professor Agasa and Conan present, the level of shyness would naturally be even greater.

She didn't fully recover until the three little ones ran back.

Genta was very disappointed, saying that he hadn't found the rabbit at all, not even a single hair.

"I must have misread it, sorry Kojima-kun."

Ai Haibara brought the unexpected little incident to a close, stood up, and dusted off her pants. "Let's keep going. Aren't we all supposed to be catching insects? If we go too late, we'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Once reminded, the three little ones finally remembered their main mission for coming here, and instantly regained their motivation.

Two hours later, the group successfully arrived at their destination.

First, set up camp.

Yusuke Suzuki looked at the tent in his hand with a touch of melancholy.

It's the same one I bought first, and after all this time, it still looks brand new.

There are no ferocious animals in this forest, so you can camp there without worry, as long as the location is right.

They were all experienced, and the two tents were quickly set up.

The three children originally wanted to leave immediately, but Yusuke Suzuki stopped them.

eat first.

There's no water source nearby, so there's no need to cook anything; a simple meal will suffice.

After finishing the meal, Suzuki Yusuke ordered the three little ones to rest quietly in the camp for half an hour.

The weather was wonderful today. Although the sun was scorching, it became much gentler after the sunlight filtered through the leaves.

Sunlight dappled across the grass, and the space between the tree canopy and the ground was filled with a natural painting created by the interplay of light and shadow.

This is a very healing scene.

Yusuke Suzuki suddenly remembered a certain afternoon, whether from his childhood or a previous life, when he found a thin blade of grass nearby, put it in his mouth, and lay on a deck chair, rocking slowly.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
