Detective Conan: Is Miss Haibara planning to assault a police officer again today?

They are on call at all times, have no time for themselves, and are constantly facing life-or-death crises.

Looking back now, the reason she repeatedly broke through her inner turmoil and confessed her feelings to Higashino Ning was perhaps because she subconsciously worried that something might happen to Higashino Ning one day, leaving her with no chance to tell him what she wanted to say.

It's not a big deal if things progress quickly.

Like is like.

You only know if you were wrong after you've loved passionately, and hesitating will only lead to missing out.

She was prepared to try and fail, but not to make mistakes.

Ai Haibara's story resonated with several of the young women.

"Higashino-kun has really grown into a very, very good adult..."

"Yes, as reliable as ever."

"I originally thought he left here to escape the reality of his parents' passing, but I never expected that he really went to the big city to pursue his self-worth."

"I still hope he can stay here forever..."

"So, what kind of person is Higashino-kun's fiancée?"

Alright, alright, you've finally revealed your true colors!

Ai Haibara instantly snapped out of her memories.

She'd been waiting for this topic to come up!

The little girl pretended to think, "My sister is... very pretty, very gentle, and very understanding and considerate."

"Although she is a somewhat introverted person, she is very lively and cheerful in front of her brother. Sometimes the two of them would bicker and joke around."

She only realized after she opened her mouth that she couldn't be as shameless as Higashino Ning. Not only was her self-praise not strong enough, but she also blushed as she spoke.

How can this work!

Ai Haibara quickly stopped talking, "I'm still young and don't really know, but my older sister is such a super, super nice person~!"

Evaluations from children tend to be perceived as more objective.

So the five young ladies fell silent.

Although the description is somewhat vague, Higashino's fiancée seems to be a really good girl...

The port city's sunshine and sea breeze were equally warm. As the sun grew stronger, a few girls led Ai Haibara to play elsewhere.

For people like them who have always stayed in their hometown, everywhere they go is a memory.

They complement each other, tease each other, and joke with each other.

These were experiences Ai Haibara had never had before, and she listened attentively, her emotions following the flow of everyone's words.

The time soon came to night.

Higashino Ning was still asleep, completely oblivious to his surroundings.

As soon as she entered the room, Ai Haibara rushed over to lift Higashino Ning's head, which was drooping by the bedside.

"Idiot... how could you get this drunk?"

When she finished drinking at noon, Higashino Ning was still able to walk on her own and was in good condition, so she thought that sleeping for a few hours would be enough.

But now... I guess there's still some sleep to be had.

"It seems that this idiot is actually quite restrained when it comes to drinking."

Ai Haibara, holding Higashino Ning's head, didn't know where to put it, so she could only continue to painstakingly adjust his sleeping position.

Without actively cooperating, Higashino Ning was incredibly heavy, and in no time at all, he had exhausted the little girl, making her sweat profusely.

"Just taking care of him would require him to recover to his original physical condition."

Ai Haibara decides to shorten her trip a little and go home earlier to research the antidote.

Putting aside whether we need it or not, we should at least have it, right?

and many more......

Ai Haibara suddenly realized a problem.

She's still a child, so she has a kind of "protective charm" in front of Higashino Ning.

What if Higashino Ning wants to discuss human creation engineering with her after she returns to her original form?

She almost suffocated just being held to sleep; imagine what it would be like to be completely naked together...

No!

There's absolutely no way I can take any of this antidote right now!

She needs more time to adjust.

Apart from Ai Haibara's low mutterings, the only other sound in the room was Higashino Ning's breathing.

Now she shut up, and the room fell completely silent.

Ai Haibara walked over and pulled back a corner of the curtain, stared at the calm sea outside the window for a while, then turned her head and sighed helplessly.

"Idiot, you don't even talk in your sleep, you don't even give me a chance to see what you're thinking."

Just then, a crisp knock sounded on the door.

"Higashino-kun, Ai, are you awake?"

That's a rather strange question.

Ai Haibara hurriedly ran to open the door, "Tsubaki-neechan, Higashino-nii-san is still sleeping."

The one standing at the door is one of the five childhood friends, a gentle and sweet type with short hair.

She glanced at the bed. "Okay, dinner's ready. Ai, come eat with me, okay?"

Ai Haibara looked back at Ning Higashino, then at her little belly.

Hmm... I guess we should eat first.

Waaaaah, the food here is so delicious! I'm sure Higashino-nii will understand!

Chapter 144 Judy Sterling

Another night has passed.

After having breakfast, Higashino Ning formally took his leave with Ai Haibara.

They stayed at Qianhe's house yesterday at noon and in the evening, so they should go back to their own home today.

...

Tokyo.

Teitan Junior High School.

"Ms. Judy, so far your interview results are very, very good, but..."

The principal shook his head apologetically, "But there are no vacancies for English teachers at our school at the moment, so you may have to wait a little longer. Once a vacancy becomes available, I will definitely hire you to take up a teaching position as soon as possible."

"You are free to choose other schools during this period, and I will not interfere in any way, so please rest assured."

The blonde, blue-eyed Judy Starling nodded regretfully and replied in broken Japanese, "Alright then, I'll wait a while. If it still doesn't work out, I'll have to try other schools."

She was wearing a business suit, and her stunning figure made the buttons bear a lot of pressure.

After standing up, she gave a slight bow. "Then I'll be going now, Principal. Please contact me as soon as there's a vacancy!"

Big breasts are very attractive to normal men of any age.

Even the principal, who had weathered many storms, was momentarily stunned.

...

After leaving Teitan High School, Judy got back into her car but didn't drive off immediately. Instead, she took out her phone and made a call.

At this moment, her expression turned serious and earnest, and her previously broken Japanese became fluent.

“Xiu, there are no job openings at the school right now. It seems we'll have to wait a while before we can start working, or... we should think of another way to create a vacancy.”

"The target didn't come to school today, and the woman's whereabouts are still uncertain. I think it's better to continue observing and monitoring the area around the hospital."

"It's now basically certain that the woman intends to target Tomoaki Shinide and take his place."

"Hmm... I'll handle the matter of getting in touch with Araide Tomoaki ahead of time. Let me know when a suitable opportunity arises."

"..."

The phone call lasted about ten minutes, with the conversation interrupted.

Judy put away her phone and looked at the street, Vermouth's face appearing in her mind.

"This time...this time I will make sure you have nowhere to escape."

The car sped off, carrying her away into the street.

On campus.

"Wow, that woman who came to interview for the English teacher position was absolutely stunning!"

"Yeah, yeah, that's just... way too big!"

"I wish she could be our class teacher."

"It's a pity that Kudo isn't here, otherwise we could hear his excuses about blushing."

"I really don't know where Kudo has gone. He's been skipping school for so many days."

"Yeah, the school fair is in just over ten days. I heard that Ran is going to act opposite Dr. Araide. That guy's about to get his house raided and he doesn't even know it!"

"Kudo is so lucky to be able to be a childhood friend with a girl like Ran."

"Good luck... Would you like to experience the fierce kicking techniques of a karate champion?"

Hearing the constant stream of comments around her, Ran Mouri lowered her head, lost in thought.

Normally, she would definitely feel embarrassed by her classmates' teasing.
