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

Jiuzhou.

A small yellow light shone from the rooftop, just enough to protect this small space from darkness.

The various potted plants on the rooftop are still thriving.

These were all left by his mother, and he can still pick the vegetables and scallions left by his mother to eat.

While having a drink during halftime, Ai Haibara tidied her hair and opened her mouth.

"Ah Ning, I want to go back to Tokyo a couple of days earlier so that we can start the antidote research as soon as possible."

Higashino Ning nodded, "I only have three days of vacation left, so I'll leave tomorrow."

"Huh???" Ai Haibara frowned. "How did you calculate the time? Isn't it a seven-day holiday?"

Higashino Ning shrugged. "I gave you seven days off, but I only have five days off for myself, have you forgotten?"

Ai Haibara remained silent.

Has Aning said that?

I don't quite remember.

She quickly shook her head. "Leaving tomorrow is too rushed. Even if we give you some rest time before you start work, it would be more appropriate to leave the day after tomorrow."

As she spoke, she reassured him, "Don't worry, I won't fly economy class this time. It hurts me to see you uncomfortable."

Dongye Ning's eyes lit up, "That's so good?"

"Hmph! I'm just that kind of person!" Ai Haibara picked up a piece of grilled beef tongue and handed it over. "Open your mouth, let me feed you, little one~"

hiss~~~

Doing it like that makes me look really childish!

Emma smells so good.

After showing off the beef tongue, Dongye Ning dug two roasted potatoes out of the ashes and broke them apart, saying, "Eat them later, they're very hot."

Seeing him wince from the burn, Ai Haibara couldn't help but get annoyed. "Then why don't you wait for it to cool down before you eat it!"

“People’s constitutions are different,” Higashino Ning said, taking a bite of the soft potato. “You see how badly I’m burned? Actually, I’m really uncomfortable from the burn.”

"But...it's a bittersweet experience, you wouldn't understand."

A strange and wonderful kind of happiness.

Ai Haibara glanced at the steaming potatoes and decided to give it a try.

As a result, she burned her tongue, and afterwards, nothing tasted very good, which was quite torturous.

Now she was certain that people's physical constitutions could not be generalized; at least Higashino Ning's sense of taste was not affected in the slightest.

Hmph, a dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water.

I'll just whisper this, as long as the idiot doesn't hear me!

...

The barbecue ended close to midnight.

Ai Haibara, through a combination of willpower and her sense of taste, didn't eat much, took a bath, and went to sleep.

However, Higashino Ning, who was so full, couldn't lie down yet, feeling like he would throw up if he did.

But enjoying the evening breeze and having a drink is also quite nice.

Having someone to accompany you is certainly nice, but spending time alone every now and then is also a wonderful experience.

What grown man doesn't have worries? It's good to take some time to think things through and sort out your thoughts.

Yo.

So they're finally starting to freeload?

They're still arresting criminals at this hour; being a police officer is definitely a tough job.

The thought that Takagi Wataru had just left the crime scene made Higashino Ning... want to laugh a little.

Dude, it's so great to be on vacation!

Chapter 146 Country Bicycles

A new day quietly dawned.

Bored out of her mind, Ai Haibara went to the rooftop to tend to the flowers and plants left behind by Higashino Ning's mother.

This is even worse than when I was at work.

At least when she was at work, Higashino Ning's wake-up schedule was the same as hers, but now... she sleeps in every day, and you can't even see her in the morning!

The sun is shining brightly today.

The tranquility of the small town in the countryside is also very comforting.

Where in the city can you find birdsong and fragrant flowers?

"Ai!"

While watering the plants, Ai Haibara suddenly heard someone calling her from the street downstairs, and the voice sounded quite familiar.

Turning my head, I saw that it was indeed Sister Chunya.

However, she was accompanied by another girl today, and the two looked very similar, so they must be sisters.

"Sister Chun Ya?" Ai Haibara put down the watering can and walked to the edge of the rooftop. "What brings you here today?"

Chizuru shielded her eyes from the sunlight with her hand. "I happened to have some time today, so I brought my little sister over to play with you guys. Is Higashino-kun awake yet?"

Haibara sighed, "Not yet, I'll come down and open the door."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the window on the second floor was suddenly opened.

Higashino Ning appeared at the window. "I was awake a long time ago, you know."

After saying that, he looked downstairs and said, "Hey, Chunya, and Xiaohuan, whom I haven't seen in a long time. Can I borrow your bicycle later?"

Before the two sisters could reply, Ai Haibara on the rooftop clenched her fists, "You've been awake for ages, why didn't you get up?!"

"So you insist that I come into your room to call you, huh!"

The two sisters downstairs couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle.

The little farce ended quickly.

Higashino Ning said he had been awake for a while, but in reality he had just been woken up. He said that only because he didn't want the Chizuru sisters to feel apologetic for disturbing him.

"Ai, you can even cook? That's amazing!"

"And it looks like it tastes pretty good."

The Chizuru sisters praised Ai Haibara one after another.

The little girl invited them to have dinner together, but the two sisters had already eaten and then declined.

While eating, Higashino Ning chatted with the Chizuru sisters.

Although he didn't know that Ai Haibara had boasted in front of the five friends, he also didn't know where the tacit understanding came from, and he took the opportunity of the meal to lavish praise on his "fiancée's" cooking skills.

"Ai's cooking skills are about 80% there."

Higashino Ning's serious comments made Haibara Ai very happy.

Her persona is now more stable and well-developed!

And this sense of tacit understanding is really delightful.

Chizuru Tsubaki is the least fixated among Higashino Ning's childhood friends, and her face is full of blessings. "It seems that Higashino-kun's future life will be very happy."

Chizuru Tamaki nodded in agreement, "Yes, but Aning-nii is amazing too. He's already a police inspector in Tokyo at such a young age."

Dongye Ning couldn't very well say that all his achievements were thanks to his beloved concubine, so he asked instead, "Xiao Huan, you should have graduated from university by now, right? Where do you plan to go in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Chizuru's expression turned bitter. "Big cities are truly terrifying. I was originally planning to go directly to Tokyo to find a job after graduation, but..."

As she spoke, she sighed, "Now I've decided to stay here. I'm currently preparing to go to the Fisheries Association. There's nothing wrong with staying in my hometown. I really can't adapt to the pace of big cities."

That's it.

It seems that there are really not many young people who have the courage to leave and settle down in big cities.

Qianhe Huan was probably the person in this area with the best chance of making a name for himself based on his education, but now he has also returned empty-handed.

But it's pretty good.

Even if they settle down in big cities, most people still live a difficult life filled with confusion and struggle, just like before he transmigrated.

It broadened my horizons and increased my knowledge.

Taking a step forward is fraught with difficulties, while retreating leaves one feeling unwilling to give up.

Chizuru Tamaki making this choice directly is one of the best approaches.

Eat and chat.

After resting, Higashino Ning took the three girls out and first went to Chizuru's house to borrow bicycles.

He rode a bicycle with Ai Haibara and the Chizuru sisters.

These two bicycles are old ones from my student days, but they're still in great shape.

He sold his bicycle to pay for his travel expenses when he left the island years ago, and he still regrets it now.

In the countryside, besides getting around, the main function of bicycles is for leisurely rides.

Ai Haibara hugged Higashino Ning tightly around the waist, feeling the breeze and enjoying the freedom that surrounded her.

One bicycle is enough to take them to many places.

The scenery changes with every step of the journey.
