Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

And now another problem lies before him—

That is, Ai Haibara, who was originally his ally, suddenly "betrayed" him.

Although her travel plans with Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to be interrupted by some unexpected event, she clearly learned some key information, or at least some important information, related to Fujimaru Ritsuka's identity during the process.

However, at this crucial moment, Haibara actually "betrayed" him by refusing to reveal any information to him.

Damn it, that scheming woman who eats alone!

He therefore made some guesses:

Is it because the other party's identity is very special, so it cannot be revealed casually?

For example, Fujimaru Ritsuka's true identity is actually the daughter of a head of state.

Could it get any more outrageous than this?

However, such random guessing was meaningless, so he could only come here to gather information, hoping to give it a try.

Just then, a bunch of onions were shoved into his hands, interrupting his thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, Ai Haibara's voice came—

"Since you're so free, why don't you help me chop those onions?"

"Eh?"

Looking at the pile of onions in his hand, Conan froze for a moment, then immediately showed a tearful expression.

By the time I finish chopping all these onions, I hope I've cried all my tears!

Then, as if remembering something, he asked Ai Haibara:

"Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you this back in school: Haibara, you always seemed so absent-minded during the day."

"What happened?"

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about research."

She answered casually.

To be precise, she spent the entire day today thinking about research, not just during school hours.

The object of her research was the herbal pills that Fujimaru Ritsuka had given her yesterday.

Because her research interests differed from Dr. Agasa's, the research equipment in Dr. Agasa's laboratory could only support her in conducting some simple research on drugs.

Even so, the experimental results currently presented to her are enough to make her lose her composure.

Because of a lack of experimental equipment, she planned to conduct some simple experiments on mice first to observe the approximate effects of the pills.

Then, she received a result that she still finds hard to believe—

Completely effective!

Not only is it completely effective, but the results are amazing!

For example, external injuries.

She made a cut on the mouse's back, then fed it some medicine, set up several control groups, and planned to observe the situation over the next few days.

However, when she went to check on it this morning, she was shocked to find that the mouse that had taken the pill had already recovered from its external injuries!

I'm fully recovered!!!

Keep in mind that even a tiny wound of 1-2cm takes at least three to five days from the time it is inflicted, scabs over, to complete healing!

How could it heal so quickly?!

Not only external injuries, but also internal injuries of the mice showed an astonishing speed of healing, completely surpassing any wound medicine on the market.

As for the therapeutic effect on the disease, she did not conduct any experiments because she lacked the necessary facilities.

Even based on the experimental results shown so far, it's enough to make her, a scientist researching drugs, question the meaning of life.

If the pill's effects are exactly as Fujimaru Ritsuka described, then wouldn't that mean this might be one of the goals that all the scientists researching drugs have been dreaming of?

A panacea?!

Although she was very reluctant to accept this fact, when she thought about the secrets of Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, she felt that it was not impossible.

Perhaps the pill that Fujimaru Ritsuka gave her also contained some kind of mysterious power?

After all, there are even beings like Bodao in this world who can manipulate time and parallel worlds.

However, as she thought about it, a new idea began to sprout in her mind.

"Ai, is there anything else I can do?"

On the other hand, Professor Agasa actively asked questions, stimulating her thinking.

She snapped out of her reverie, thinking about the important matters of the day, and temporarily suppressed her inner thoughts, instructing Professor Agasa:

"Then could you please bring that pot over here?"

"Ok, no problem!"

Since they were guests at his home, Professor Agasa naturally wanted to cook a nice meal for them.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to cook, so he usually eats out or orders takeout.

So, in the end, Ai Haibara took over the cooking task, with Professor Agasa assisting her.

Now we have Conan as a sidekick, which is better than nothing.

"Alright, Kudo, stop daydreaming and get to work."

Ai Haibara ordered him around without any politeness.

"Yes Yes."

Conan could only sigh helplessly and accept his bad luck.

But weren't you just spacing out?

He thought to himself.

So the three of them worked hard for half a day, and just when they were almost finished cooking, the doorbell rang, and Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others arrived as promised.

"coming--!"

Professor Agasa, without even taking off his apron, hurriedly ran to open the door.

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Moriarty, and Hata were standing at the door. Seeing Professor Agasa open the door, she politely greeted him:

"You must be Professor Agasa. I am Fujimaru Ritsuka. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

Professor Agasa glanced at Moriarty and Ina beside him and smiled:

"And there's Butler James and little Bodao, right? Ai told me about you guys, nice to meet you."

"Please give me more advice."

After exchanging pleasantries, she handed the gift box to Professor Agasa and said with a smile:

"I heard from Ai that you like sweets, so I just bought a little bit. I hope you don't mind."

"Haha, not at all, you're too kind."

Professor Agasa accepted the gift and smiled:

"Enough with the pleasantries, let's come in and talk."

"Then excuse me."

Chapter 122. Visiting and Promoting: Conan's Discovery

122.

2023-11-20

Professor Agasa's house is a detached villa with a garden, occupying a very spacious area.

Following behind Professor Agasa, Fujimaru Ritsuka observed his house, wondering if she should also move to a bigger one.

She bought this house only as a temporary place to stay, but she never expected that all the rooms in the house would be occupied.

She had a vague premonition that there might be more people in the future.

If that's the case, the current housing stock will be completely insufficient.

With these questions in mind, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others followed Professor Agasa to the unusually spacious living room.

Because it is so spacious, it doesn't even look like a living room; it looks more like an exhibition hall in a business venue.

At this moment, Conan and Ai Haibara are in a kitchen with a cylindrical bar counter, which is already full of food.

Upon seeing the arrival of Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, Ai Haibara greeted them:

“Sister Ritsuka, Mr. James, and Boda.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka responded with a smile:

"Ai, Conan is here too."

Conan scratched his head and said, "Yeah, I came to Dr. Agasa's house to play."

"Ai, Conan!"

Seeing his two little friends, Bo Dao waved happily.

After exchanging greetings, Ai Haibara said to Professor Agasa:

"Doctor, the meal is all ready and we can eat it anytime."

"I understand, this is a great help."

Professor Agasa smiled and praised her, then smiled somewhat shyly at Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others:

"I originally planned to cook for you, but unfortunately my cooking skills are not good enough, so I can only trouble Ai in the end."

"Did Ai make this meal?"
