The world of science is unscientific

Kimie Shimabukuro?

"It's me, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Suzuki, I have arrived in Tokyo."

On the streets of Tokyo, Kimie Shimabukuro, carrying her bag, watched the endless stream of cars and people, and suddenly realized that it was a bit inappropriate to call Yusuke Suzuki after she had arrived.

Previously, Suzuki Yusuke said that she should come to him again after she had thought it through and made a decision. She could return to the island after a month, and Suzuki Yusuke would contact her again if needed.

She figured she had nothing to do on the island anyway, and she kept thinking about the three people who had died, so she decided to come over and give Suzuki Yusuke a surprise.

As it turned out, she forgot that she didn't have her boss's address.

On the other end of the phone, Suzuki Yusuke was also having a headache, and decided that he might as well come over himself.

"Ai, I'll be back in a bit. Could you help me prepare the vegetables?" Suzuki Yusuke said before leaving with his coat.

Ai Haibara unconsciously became alert. The voice on the other end of the phone just now was a woman's, and it was very sweet. But then she shook her head helplessly. Why was she thinking so much? Hadn't she already decided to leave?

After picking up Kimie Shimabukuro, Yusuke Suzuki first took her back to his apartment.

"I live here, come in." Suzuki Yusuke opened the door, and Shimabukuro Kimie stood at the door, still a little shy, her face slightly flushed.

"Come in."

"Oh."

As soon as Shimabukuro Kimie entered the room, Suzuki Yusuke immediately reached out to her.

Half an hour later, Kimie Shimabukuro appeared in a new disguise, now a mature woman with long, curly black hair. Yusuke Suzuki then led her out to buy two more outfits.

Kimie Shimabukuro already had some basic knowledge of voice changing, so it wasn't difficult for her to switch to a suitable voice.

"Alright, for the rest of your time in Tokyo, you'll be called Nakamiya Ayami." Suzuki Yusuke nodded with some satisfaction.

Shimabukuro Kimie, now transformed into Nakamiya Ayami, glanced at the mirror but remained silent.

"Come with me, I'll take you to eat."

At Professor Agasa's house, at the dining table.

"Hello, my name is Nakamiya Ayami."

"You can just call me Professor Agasa."

"Haibara Ai."

After finishing her meal, Ai Haibara went to the basement in her slippers, turning back before closing the door to say, "Don't bother me."

Dr. Agasa scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "That's just how Ai is, don't take it to heart."

“It’s alright,” Nakamiya Ayami nodded politely.

"By the way," Dr. Agasa felt he needed to ask, "I haven't seen you before. Have you and Yusuke known each other for a long time?"

“My father arranged for her to come here. She’ll stay for a while and then leave, but she’ll come back occasionally,” Yusuke Suzuki explained. “She came here suddenly today, without any preparation, so I brought her over for a free meal.”

“I’m so sorry,” Nakamiya Ayami glanced at Suzuki Yusuke, “but I really didn’t expect the boss to be able to cook, and to cook so well.”

"Haha, I was surprised at first too."

Dr. Agasa shared some amusing anecdotes from the time they first met with a smile, and time flew by.

After bidding farewell to Ayami Nakamiya, Ai Haibara came out of the basement to take a shower and go to bed.

"Mr. Suzuki, where will I stay for the next month?"

In the car, Ayami Nakamiya, who was sitting in the passenger seat, switched back to her natural voice, which didn't match her face, but it sounded pleasant.

"Let's stay at a hotel. I've already booked a month's stay. When you have time, come over here to learn about disguise and voice changing, and also observe my behavior and actions. Is that alright?"

“I have time every day, and I have nothing to do right now.”

"I mean when I have time."

The next day, Nakamiya Ayami, who had expected Suzuki Yusuke to be busy with work, building his career, or assassinating and eavesdropping, was dumbfounded.

The boss just followed that muddle-headed old man, playing mahjong and wandering around aimlessly, and the day just passed like that.

Why does it seem so unreliable?

In the evening, Suzuki Yusuke came to Professor Agasa's house again and took away the repaired cat tree. Haibara Ai sat by the window reading a book, but her eyes kept glancing outside to see if anyone was in the car.

Ai Haibara: "!!!"

What to do, I really can't help but want to follow! Why is Yusuke surrounded by women one after another? This guy... what a womanizer! What a pervert!

That evening, Ayami Nakamiya went to Yusuke Suzuki's apartment to learn more about courses on disguise and voice changing, and observed Yusuke Suzuki's behavior.

Chapter 110: The Preordained Turning Point

A month passed in the blink of an eye, but in Suzuki Yusuke's perception, only about a week had passed.

Unfortunately, Shimabukuro Kimihiro claimed that he had already completed a month's worth of courses, but he couldn't understand them at all. I only taught him for a total of 6 days, and he didn't dare to ask who taught him for the remaining 24 days, for fear of creating some kind of bug in the world.

"Are you sure you want to go back to Mermaid Island tomorrow?" Yusuke Suzuki asked, sipping his tea and petting his cat.

“Hmm,” Kimie Shimabukuro mimicked Yusuke Suzuki’s voice, “This period of time has been quite interesting, and I might come here more often in the future.”

Yusuke Suzuki nodded and then fell silent. He felt as if he were talking to himself, which was strange.

After seeing Kimie Shimabukuro off, Professor Agasa called and asked if he wanted to go skiing together.

"I'm seeing Ayami off from Tokyo tomorrow. I'll come find you guys after that. Ai will be there too, right?"

"Ah, I will go."

Ai Haibara's voice came from the other end of the phone.

She didn't know when it started, but every time Dr. Agasa talked to Yusuke Suzuki on the phone, she made it a habit to listen in.

Why don't I just buy Ai-chan a phone myself?

Yusuke Suzuki chatted with Professor Agasa for a while longer before hanging up the phone, taking a shower, and going to bed.

The next morning, Kimie Shimabukuro came over.

"Why are you here so early?"

"May I visit Mihana Park before leaving?"

Yusuke Suzuki scratched his slightly messy hair. "Is that alright? Is there anywhere else you'd like to see?"

Five minutes later, the two decided to take the bus because Yusuke Suzuki had forgotten to refuel the car.

On the bus, Kimie Shimabukuro gazed absently at the city, so different from the island. Having grown up on the island, with only her university years spent inland, her youth was gone forever after returning to Mermaid Island.

Before she knew it, she was already 27 years old.

Meanwhile, Professor Agasa also took Ayumi and the others onto the bus.

"Doctor, are you really okay looking like this?" Conan and Ai Haibara sat in a row, looking at the doctor with great concern as he kept sniffling.

Ai Haibara said helplessly, "He brought it on himself. I told him he had a cold and shouldn't push himself too hard, but yesterday the professor insisted on practicing skiing with instructional videos until the middle of the night."

“What can I do?” Dr. Agasa said listlessly, his nose red and swollen. “I did plan to give up yesterday, but Yusuke said he had something come up today.”

"I'm taking you kids skiing this time. Yusuke couldn't come at first, so as an adult, I naturally have to set a good example."

"What's wrong?" Conan then realized that Suzuki Yusuke wasn't there. Usually, all his friends would be there. He looked at Haibara Ai, hoping to get an answer.

"Ah, he's sending a woman away from Tokyo." Ai Haibara closed her eyes and crossed her arms.

"A woman?" Conan was shocked, his gossip-loving instincts blazing. "Who is it? Have I seen her before? Are they officially dating? What are they doing leaving Tokyo this time?"

As soon as Conan finished his barrage of questions, Ai Haibara put on her red hood and refused to speak any further.

Meanwhile, the three little ones took turns educating Professor Agasa.

Mihana Park Station.

"This park is really nice," Kimie Shimabukuro remarked, standing next to Yusuke Suzuki.

Yusuke Suzuki looked at the phone booth next to him. He remembered that the movie where Ran lost her memory was set here, so this was a kind of check-in for him.

"Mr. Suzuki?"

Upon hearing the voice, Yusuke Suzuki turned his head to look. Tomoaki Shinichi? And Jodie-sensei?

Has the FBI already made its move?

Did I miss another case...?

The sight of Vermouth and Judy standing together certainly sparks the imagination.

I wonder if Judy would still be so energetic if she knew that the person next to her was her father's killer.

After exchanging greetings, the bus stopped, and the group boarded together.

"Yusuke-nii-san!?"

Conan was the first to spot Yusuke Suzuki.

Ai Haibara looked up and saw that the woman was there too, so she lowered her head again.

"You guys are here too." Suzuki Yusuke was genuinely surprised. Professor Agasa hadn't driven? Had he forgotten to fill up the gas tank like him?

He went straight over and sat down in the row behind Conan and Ai Haibara, by the window. It happened to be the last row, so Kimie Shimabukuro sat down next to him.

Next came a man coughing incessantly, an elderly man with a hearing aid, and a woman chewing gum.

Five people per row, packed full.

Suddenly, Suzuki Yusuke saw Conan lift up Ai Haibara's arm and sniff it like a pervert.

"pain!"

Yusuke Suzuki flicked Conan on the forehead. "What are you doing? That's not very polite."

"Yes..."

However, Ai Haibara, who had been perfectly normal just moments before, suddenly began to tremble, her expression one of terror.

"Kudo, let's switch positions, help me block the shot..."

Yusuke Suzuki immediately realized something was wrong. Even Ai Haibara blurted out "Kudo," which clearly indicated that she had sensed Vermouth.
