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

Then, she argued confidently, "It's very hot tonight, and sleeping in the same room will save on electricity. Is there a problem with that?"

Higashino Ning muttered under his breath, "Our family doesn't seem to be short of money for electricity..."

Ai Haibara: "......"

If I ever die, it'll definitely be because of you!!

"Fine, fine, so you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences, huh?"

Ai Haibara rolled up her non-existent sleeves. "It's 8:12 now. I'll give you two hours to rest. We'll meet in your room at 10:30!"

"Hmph, what kind of financial situation do we have right now? We should save wherever we can."

After the big stick has been used up, it's time to offer some sweet treats.

The little girl cupped Dongye Ning's face in her hands and rubbed it gently. "Be good~ Don't argue with your older sister, do you think I'd eat you?"

Higashino Ning: "......"

Say something.

I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it!

I won't tell you who almost suffocated last time!

With nothing to do, I'm at the third watch of the night.

Chapter 187 Miyano Shiho

When a person has expectations and fantasies about something.

His mind was too busy to think about anything else.

That's how Higashino Ning is now.

Ai Haibara chose to spend her two-hour break watching movies.

But I really couldn't get into this movie at all!

"It wasn't until then that I realized that there were neither tomatoes nor scallions in the tomato stir-fry."

As the last line of dialogue appeared in the movie, Ai Haibara stretched comfortably.

Children shouldn't be expected to have beautiful body lines, and thinking about this for even a second longer is abnormal. If someone can imagine the corresponding scene, that's even more abnormal.

Higashino Ning stated that he is the leader of the perverts.

But... it's better to just look at her profile.

As Ai Haibara stretched, she also tidied her hair. "I'm going to take a shower first. I hope my brother won't choose to sleep on the sofa later?"

"Let me put this out there: if you're saying it's cool to sleep downstairs... then I suggest you just go sleep outside."

That's a terrifying tone. How am I supposed to live like this?

I, the Tiger of the Metropolitan Police Department, was actually manipulated like this by Ai Haibara at home! If word gets out, will my reputation be ruined?!

Let's sleep together then~

Anyway, my buddy won't lose out.

Dongye Ning stood up first, "I'll shower first, I'll give you plenty of time to get clean."

After taking a few steps, he turned back and pressed his forehead against Ai Haibara's, chuckling as he felt her breath. "You won't go back on your word halfway through, right?"

Ai Haibara: "......"

You actually guessed it...

She stubbornly retorted, "...Who...who's going back on their word! If we say we'll save on electricity, we'll save on electricity tonight!"

That's good.

Higashino Ning went to take a shower.

I was a bit concerned about my image today, so it took me almost 20 minutes to wash myself.

Next, we went back to our rooms to wait.

Higashino Ning put on his summer pajama set—a short-sleeved shirt and beach shorts—adjusted his pillow, and lay down comfortably.

The moonlight outside the window was quiet, because the chirping of cicadas did not disturb my thoughts.

Thinking about it, Higashino Ning suddenly got out of bed, walked to the window, and looked out.

The rows of two-story buildings are arranged in an orderly fashion, each rooftop reflecting the moonlight.

Because it's a residential area, there are very few vehicles coming and going now. Even when a car does pass by, it usually slows down to a minimum and doesn't make much noise.

At this time, the tranquility of Tokyo and the tranquility of Kyushu were not much different.

"My beloved, do you think my decision to take up my post in Nagano was the right one?"

Going to Nagano definitely offers better career development opportunities.

"But I won't be able to get free reward points after I leave Tokyo."

[You'll go back to Tokyo eventually, won't you?]

"If I'm not in Tokyo, I won't get any opportunities to clash with the organization. How am I supposed to get promoted then?"

[The host seems to have misunderstood. What the host extracted previously was a "promotion clue" rather than a "promotion condition."]

[At the time, there existed a path to promotion through conflict with the organization; this path may not exist again.]

There are many other ways to get promoted, not just by opposing the organization.

Higashino Ning suddenly realized.

I see... Then I really don't have much of a mental burden going to Nagano now.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Then can I bring Conan with me to Nagano as well?"

[Theoretically, it is feasible.]

It's theoretically feasible... so does that mean it's difficult to implement in practice?

Okay, actually it doesn't have much of an impact.

It's perfectly fine to have a slightly more relaxed lifestyle in Nagano.

Higashino Ning stroked his chin and continued to quietly look out the window.

Now he didn't want to think about anything anymore; this was a moment of peace that belonged only to him.

There's nothing epic about it, nothing emo about it, just literal peace, nothing more.

Waited for a while.

A soft sound of a door opening came from behind Higashino Ning.

He slowly turned his head, then suddenly opened his eyes wide.

If he had a wine glass in his hand right now, it would definitely fall.

Because the person standing at the door wasn't Ai Haibara at all, but Shiho Miyano...

Her slender figure, encased in a thin white nightgown, complemented the rosy blush on her face perfectly.

Shiho Miyano had one hand hanging down on her lower abdomen, and the other hand gripping her elbow.

Her slightly pursed lips made her look exceptionally delicate, and her evasive gaze after meeting Higashino Ning's eyes also accentuated her shyness.

This is...so sudden.

"Um... how about we try dating...?"

Shiho Miyano had prepared a lot of prepared remarks before coming over, but they were all useless at this moment.

On a whim, she uttered the lines she had once fantasized about.

Higashino Ning was momentarily at a loss for words.

a long time.

He spoke slowly, "Has the antidote been successfully developed?"

Shiho Miyano immediately shook her head. "No, it's just a new iteration. Theoretically, the effects should last at least 12 hours this time."

Because she was worried that Higashino Ning would blame her for acting recklessly, she quickly added, "Human trials are definitely required during the drug development phase, and the more samples the better, so both Edogawa and I need to use the drug to ensure the accuracy of the data."

Shiho Miyano involuntarily walked forward, standing upright about two meters away from Ning Higashino, and gradually lowered her arms from in front of her to her sides.

She closed her eyes to gather her thoughts before finally mustering the courage to look at Higashino Ning seriously and speak in a somewhat stubborn tone.

"Ah Ning...am I pretty?"

The shy young girl was like a flower waiting to bloom.

No matter what, Higashino Ning couldn't give a false answer.

He nodded. "You're very beautiful. Among all the girls I've ever seen, you're the most beautiful."

"Well..." Shiho Miyano didn't know what to say.

Silence fell between them.

After a while, Higashino Ning suddenly approached.

He was almost a head taller than Shiho Miyano, and the difference became more and more obvious the closer they got.

The girl subconsciously took a half step back and looked up at him.

This is a typical manifestation of defensive psychology.

But after a moment's hesitation, Higashino Ning finally pulled Miyano Shiho into a full embrace.

"Nice to meet you, but I've liked you for a long time."

Enveloped in warmth, Shiho Miyano found that she didn't feel suffocated this time; her restless heart gradually calmed down instead.
