The specific behaviors will not be described, but the core of the behaviors is only two points: abstraction.

If you say that, I might actually get arrested by Inspector Megure.

But since Ai Haibara has already made her move, how could he not respond?

What's with this little brat pretending to be a mature older sister? She even acts like she's saying, "Don't worry, just pretend nothing happened, I won't make you take responsibility."

Dongye Ning touched his nose. "Brother, you smell so good."

Ai Haibara stumbled back several steps, her cheeks, already flushed from the bath, turning even redder.

What are you talking about?!

No, she has to run!

Ai Haibara immediately fled.

Higashino Ning nodded in satisfaction.

See? Once you get thick-skinned, you'll be the first one to give in.

He opened the bathroom door completely to let the steam dissipate, then went upstairs to get his clothes to prepare for a shower.

inside the room.

Ai Haibara quickly changed her clothes.

I don't know why, but I always feel that thick bath towels don't bring me a sense of security.

After she finished, she still wanted to hug Miss Panda, who was about the same height as her but more than twice as wide.

Although she genuinely believed that Higashino Ning was a good person and wouldn't do anything truly perverted or outrageous, her inner self-defense mechanism was frantically alarming her!

After a long while, Ai Haibara turned her head to smell her shoulder, then lowered her head to smell her chest.

She does smell quite nice...

If Higashino Ning were to lean against her shoulder or the crook of her neck...

The shy little girl squeezed her eyes shut and curled up, then hid under the covers.

I really can't think about it anymore!

My toes are about to cramp from exerting too much force!

...

I had some trouble falling asleep on my first night in my new home.

Unable to fall asleep due to his own overthinking, Higashino Ning simply went downstairs to the kitchen and poured himself a drink.

The flavor of the champagne, inherited from its predecessor, remains unchanged, even when served in a more premium glass.

Have a drink; drinking more will help you sleep better.

The sudden rain also helped me sleep.

The next morning.

Higashino Ning was woken up by the alarm clock. Although her head was still a little throbbing, she had no choice but to go to work.

As soon as he got downstairs, he heard noises coming from the kitchen and smelled the aroma of fried eggs.

Why does it give off a vibe of child labor exploitation?

Higashino Ning walked over and leaned against the door frame. "What if I gradually get used to and start to take your sacrifices for granted?"

Ai Haibara, standing on a small stool, turned around and looked at him. "Since you're already thinking about this now, it means you won't do it in the future."

Higashino Ning raised an eyebrow. "Maybe I'm just laying the groundwork for peace of mind later."

Ai Haibara chuckled, "But I firmly believe that you wouldn't bear to disappoint or upset me. Besides, I'm not stupid. If things go wrong, I'll run away on my own."

As she spoke, she gave a playful wink, "I'm experienced. Time to wash up and get ready for breakfast, it should be ready in about five minutes."

Higashino Ning sighed deeply and turned to wash up while entering the system shop.

Reward Points -3

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill: Cooking - Chinese Cuisine (lv1:17%)]

Dongye Ning's eyes widened. "My beloved concubine! How dare you deceive me! How could my culinary skills be only at 17% proficiency!"

If it weren't for his background in Chinese cuisine, he would definitely have chosen to learn Japanese cooking first.

[Please face reality, host; your cooking skills are not that great.]

Higashino Ning felt slightly aggrieved, "You're being aloof again, that's no fun, it's boring."

【...Hmph~】

Higashino Ning: "???"

The breakfast that Ai Haibara prepared didn't really resemble Japanese style.

A sandwich with milk is a refreshing and simple dish.

You can eat this white food without making a sound.

"I'm going out. As usual, you can take care of dinner yourself, don't wait for me."

"Well, if you can eat at home, then come back. Just call me in advance to let me know."

"You're way too mature. You don't seem like a little sister at all."

"What's that like?"

"What do you think?"

"I think I'm like a younger sister. What, what do you think I resemble?"

Ai Haibara slowly ate her sandwich, her eyes full of provocation.

She was still a bit unsettled by Dongye Ning last night, so she naturally wanted to find a way to get revenge today.

Higashino Ning was a little unsure how to fill the hole she had suddenly created, so she simply changed the subject, saying, "Your outfit today looks quite nice."

Ai Haibara looked down at it; it was indeed quite nice. She continued teasingly, "Do you like it?"

“I don’t like it.” Higashino Ning said without hesitation.

You guy!

This is an outfit I carefully selected yesterday at a reasonable price!

Haibara smiled sadly and took a deep breath.

The other party did it on purpose, don't be angry, don't be angry.

But as Higashino Ning turned around, she added, "Okay, I actually quite like it, if you were wearing it."

In the third round, the outcome was decided.

Chapter 71, "The Magician at the End of the Century," begins.

Having a new home makes taking the tram to work a bit of an adjustment.

Dongye Ning browsed the system shop and thought that since he had already used 3 of the 20 reward points, he might as well just buy a car.

Considering his own financial situation, he decided against anything too high-end, but there was a Toyota he could exchange for, which would also take him to chase the sunset.

The system is quite efficient.

I'll spend the 7 reward points, and I can pick up my car after get off work.

Arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department.

I didn't see Yuki Nagasawa today.

"Can we get two days off in a row?"

Without giving it much thought, Higashino Ning went straight upstairs.

Not long after he went upstairs, he heard Inspector Nakamori yelling in the large conference room, shouting things like "We must catch Kaito Kid."

It seems that today marks the official start of the theatrical version.

Unfortunately, this theatrical version has very little to do with him at the moment.

"Officer Higashino? Good morning!"

At this moment, Ran Mouri, who was sitting on a bench in the corridor waiting, stood up and waved to Ning Higashino.

Last night, she learned about Shinichi Kudo's general whereabouts through Higashino Ning, and Higashino Ning is currently living in Shinichi Kudo's house.

Therefore, Ran Mouri subconsciously felt that she was more familiar with Ning Higashino than before.

Higashino Ning returned the greeting warmly, then looked at Conan and asked, "What are you doing here?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the conference room, then suddenly realized, "Oh, it must be that Mr. Mori was invited by the Second Investigation Division to be a special operations consultant, right?"

Ran Mouri smiled and shook her head. "No, it was Sonoko's father who invited my dad to get involved."

Then, as if worried that Higashino Ning might not remember, she quickly added, "It's the girl who was with us at the police station last time."

Higashino Ning's eyebrows twitched. "Oh... that... um... it's that rather enthusiastic girl, I remember now."

It's really tiring to pretend you don't know someone if you have to say something.

After a few brief pleasantries, the "pre-battle meeting" was over, and Kogoro Mouri was not surrounded by people, but came out alone.

After exchanging greetings, Higashino Ning watched the group leave, then returned to his office to wait for the case to unfold.

Today should be another leisurely day, since Conan is going to Osaka to cause trouble for everyone.

"Speaking of which, since it's in Osaka... how can I get involved?"

After thinking it over carefully, Higashino Ning felt there was no need to worry too much. Every theatrical version features the Tokyo Police F4, so what was there for him to worry about?

Having already made it into the Tokyo F5, he's bound to be involved!

Unfortunately, the leisurely day that Higashino Ning had envisioned did not materialize.
