After the simulation, the female characters in Detective Conan break down.

However, Ai Haibara's older sister, Akemi Miyano, is not dead.

Logically speaking.

Ai Haibara shouldn't need to go to such lengths to listen to her sister's voice on the phone anymore.

They still came knocking on our door without us actively exposing ourselves.

It seems that the Black Organization's internal investigation network should not be underestimated.

Ai Haibara's small face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.

Her icy blue eyes were filled with helplessness and fear.

She walked over to Hoshinoki.

She involuntarily raised her hand and grabbed his trouser leg.

Do not know why.

Hoshino always gave her endless strength.

It felt like all I needed to do was stay by his side.

You will feel a sense of security that you have never felt before.

And these feelings of security.

It was something her older sister, Akemi Miyano, had never given her.

A thin layer of sweat covered her forehead.

His expression was tense and panicked:

"It's Gin!"

It was as if a giant dragon bell resided in Ai Haibara's chest.

When they learned that Gin's car was downstairs.

The dragon bell suddenly sped up.

A continuous "thump-thump" sound echoed in her chest.

The sound reverberated throughout the body.

It reaches all the meridians and organs.

Hoshino looked down at the top of Ai Haibara's head.

He was slightly lost in thought, his face calm.

It felt like an eternity even though only a dozen seconds had passed.

He bent down.

He pulled Ai Haibara into his arms.

"Wait!"

The feeling of fear was suddenly replaced by a feeling of weightlessness.

What greets you is Hoshinogi's warm embrace.

Before Ai Haibara could even begin to struggle...

Suddenly, a large hand covered Ai Haibara's head.

It covered most of her brown wavy hair.

"It'll be okay!"

A voice that is magnetic and calming.

It actually has the effect of calming people down.

Ai Haibara's hand resting on her head.

She slightly raised her head to meet Hoshino's gaze.

In that endless abyss of darkness.

The reflection was of her own face.

Ai Haibara's icy blue eyes instantly stopped moving.

Hoshinoki did not stare at Ai Haibara for long.

Instead, they shifted their gaze.

I looked downstairs again.

The black sedan had already driven away by then.

Conan just happened to appear in his line of sight.

Ai Haibara snapped back to reality in an instant.

Following Hoshinogi's gaze, I looked downstairs.

...

The next day.

An ordinary little shop.

Ran Mouri and Mitsuhiko had arranged to meet at this shop early in the morning.

Simple food was placed in front of each of them.

But the two didn't focus on the delicious burger.

It seems!

Mitsuhiko came here purely to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ran Mouri.

At this moment, Mitsuhiko was clearly harboring a lot of bitterness.

"Sister Xiaolan, to be honest, Ayumi and I have been together since kindergarten."

"I've liked Ayumi since I was little!"

Mitsuhiko cautiously looked up every now and then to meet Ran Mouri's gaze.

Ran Mouri smiled knowingly.

She answered gently:

Backup transfer group: 850296501

"You like Ayumi? Isn't that great?"

"That's right, but Ayumi likes..."

Mitsuhiko seemed to be thinking of something.

He instantly looked dejected.

Ran Mouri noticed his hesitation.

He then tentatively inquired about the exit:

Does Ayumi like Conan?

Mitsuhiko looked up.

He stared blankly at Ran Mouri.

A look of dejection crossed his eyes:

"No, Ayumi likes Hoshino-nii!"

"!??"

Ran Mouri's eyes widened instantly.

She thought she had misheard.

"Hoshino-kun?"

Mitsuhiko nodded listlessly.

"Yes, that's right, although Ayumi didn't say it herself that she liked Hoshino-nii."

"But I think that must be right."

"I'm really troubled right now, and I don't know what to do..."

Mitsuhiko looked utterly disappointed.

A sense of inferiority instantly filled his fragile heart.

He just clenched his hands and kept rubbing them together.

"Is it possible that your perception is wrong?"

Ran Mouri posed a profound question to Mitsuhiko.

"No, I trust my feelings! A man's sixth sense!"
