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

“But once you’ve made a decision, I won’t give you a chance to back out.”

"If you leave, you leave forever; if you stay, you stay forever."

"Besides..."

Higashino Ning paused for a moment, then said, "Our current relationship is not much different from married life; it's full of the flavor of romance."

What he said makes sense.

Ai Haibara herself admitted that this was indeed the case.

Whether it was the initial attraction or the formal confession now, it was all basically caused by emotions being stirred by words or actions.

She was inexperienced in the ways of the world, especially in matters of the heart, where she had absolutely no experience.

Her current view on love is very pure; her goal is to reach a relationship that leads to marriage or even death.

Now, thanks to Higashino Ning's reminder, Ai Haibara's restless heart has gradually calmed down.

My liking for it hasn't diminished.

But calm reflection is indispensable.

However, based on Higashino Ning's words, we can infer one thing: the two of them had actually been dating for a long time, but they just hadn't made it public.

Now that we've both made our feelings clear, there's still room for us to remain friends.

Good.

Ai Haibara gently wiped away her tears with her fingers. "Can I go to the memorial service tomorrow?"

“You can go.” Dongye Ning stared at the road behind the rain curtain. “But don’t be impulsive or reckless. You’re not strong enough to fight them right now.”

"You're only 18 and you already have the knowledge to develop cutting-edge drugs, and your sister is also a member of the organization, so you probably grew up in the organization, right?"

“Although you are a child now, you cannot avoid the risk of being recognized. Masuyama Kenzo is not young. He might recognize what you looked like when you were a child.”

"A genius like you should be getting a lot of attention in the organization."

Ai Haibara remained silent.

These are some very true statements.

She grew up within the organization, unlike Edogawa, so she couldn't just wander around where the organization members were active.

Seeing the little girl begin to hesitate, Dongye Ning offered timely assistance, "I still suggest you stay at home. Anyway, I have to go because of work. I'll let you know when I get back."

"Once things are settled, we'll go out and have some fun. I really will take you."

Haibara sighed, "Well, that's the only way."

She then told Higashino Ning about the CD, explaining that the key to developing the antidote was in the CD.

Although Higashino Ning knew about these things, he still had to play along.

Tongzi's shop does not offer an antidote for APTX-4869, which he had seen before.

By the way, has Sister Tongzi been silent for several days?

Higashino Ning spared a little attention and began to call out.

"My beloved concubine, how can I obtain the antidote from you?"

The three hidden world items—the Antidote for Drug A, the Silver Bullet, and the Stone of Destiny Pandora—can only be unlocked and exchanged through rank promotion or special missions.

"Is Pandora considered part of the Detective Conan universe?"

Although they are set in different contexts, they share the same world and are highly interconnected, so they are grouped together.

That's it...

Higashino Ning continued to concentrate on driving.

I got home before 3 p.m.

His candid confession in the car caused both him and Ai Haibara to fall into a period of silence.

Without much hesitation, Higashino Ning squatted down and gave Ai Haibara a hug. "You can take care of your own dinner. I need to sleep for a while. I have to continue my shift tonight."

Ai Haibara gently patted his back, "Alright, alright, I'll use this time to think about whether I can trip up the organization a bit and where to go for fun after this is all over."

As Higashino Ning let go of her hand and prepared to get up, she added, "And while you're at it, think of a way to make you fall in love with me too."

Ai Haibara's words provided a good transition during the period of silence.

This also labeled Higashino Ning as shy and demure.

This grumpy little girl is getting more and more direct these days!

These are all my words!

Higashino Ning nodded, trying to appear calm. "Okay, then keep thinking of more ideas. There's a reason I've been single all this time. I'm super hard to handle and hard to win over."

Ai Haibara was speechless.

But sister, I feel like you're easy to manipulate, and you've already been taken down.

Her mocking gaze made Higashino Ning feel like she couldn't take it anymore, so she immediately fled back to her room.

It's still raining.

The courtyard was shrouded in a hazy mist.

Ai Haibara stared out the window for a while, her thoughts drifting far away, but it seemed like she wasn't really thinking about anything specific.

After all, my mind was still a bit blank after I came to my senses.

"Does this mean that my attraction and affection for that stupid policeman doesn't need repeated thinking and verification at all?"

Ai Haibara is not quite able to give a definitive definition.

All she knows is that, up to now, the love that began in her heart when she was still innocent and budding is still growing strong.

...

10:17 p.m.

Higashino Ning woke up and was about to go downstairs when she saw a note on the ground as soon as she reached the stairs.

I'm reading in the study. There's food in the kitchen. Remember to come check on your girlfriend and the children who need care before you leave.

Okay, okay, so this is the idea you came up with, right?

It's practically defenseless!

Higashino Ning folded the note and put it in the inner pocket of his coat, humming a little tune as he went downstairs.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw Ai Haibara busy next to the microwave.

"Wait two more minutes and it'll be ready to eat."

The little girl turned around and looked at me, somewhat happy, "Looks like I timed it perfectly."

As she spoke, she jogged up to Dongye Ning, her expectant eyes revealing no attempt to hide her feelings. "Why are you laughing and humming? Did you see the note I left for you?"

No matter how much he wanted to be cheeky, Higashino Ning couldn't bring himself to say it.

He scratched his head and said, "If you keep going like this, it will be really hard to end things without getting married."

Ai Haibara's face flushed slightly, and she glanced to the right as she stood on tiptoe. "I don't have much of an opinion right now, but I just need to wait a little longer."

Higashino Ning shook her head helplessly, "Are you really love-struck? You were won over by me so easily?"

"Hey! That's really going too far!" Ai Haibara glared at him.

Higashino Ning shrugged. "You know, I like to be a little cheeky sometimes."

Ai Haibara: "......"

This guy has such a thick skin!!!

Chapter 112 The Initial Clash with the Black Organization

Higashino Ning and Haibara Ai stood there like that.

You look at me, I look at you.

"Ding~"

The microwave is ready.

Ai Haibara turned around, put on gloves, and took out the heated food. "Eat up. I'm going back to reading. I'll sleep when I'm sleepy and eat when I'm hungry. I even know to run home when it rains, so don't worry about me."

Higashino Ning picked up her chopsticks. "You're implying, 'I need you to take good care of me before you leave the house.' I don't know if I'm right?"

The voice just fell.

Ai Haibara darted in front of him, her big, watery eyes fixed on him, then she nodded pitifully, "Yes, yes, yes! That's it!"

hiss~~~

Higashino Ning took a deep breath. "Is this also part of your little idea?"

Ai Haibara looked around, "What do you care if it's true or not..."

Higashino Ning exclaimed that he had a headache.

He thought for a moment, then made up his mind, "I'm not really good at it anyway, so why don't you just kiss me? It'll save you trouble and worry."

Haibara Ai:"???"

Shouldn't it be you kissing me?

Wait a minute... it seems like it's really not okay for that idiot policeman to kiss me.

Stupid!

Who wants to kiss you!

Ai Haibara ran away immediately, saying, "...We'll talk about it later."
