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

She pulled on Hoshinoki's sleeve as he held up his cup.

Hoshinogi's dark pupils contracted slightly.

Ai Haibara's words were like a spell that could stop time.

His hands stopped moving completely.

It was as if the two of them were the only ones in the world.

In this quiet, utterly silent space.

He could faintly hear Ai Haibara's heartbeat.

"it's OK!"

He finally answered her.

"Thank you!"

Ai Haibara suddenly rested her head on Hoshino Ki's arm.

A small amount of liquid splashed out of the cup due to an external impact.

The stain instantly soaked Hoshino's clothes on his chest.

Ai Haibara closed her eyes, breathing in the cool scent emanating from Hoshino Ki.

She looked exhausted.

The dark circles under his eyes twitched slightly with his breathing.

"..."

Hoshinoki stood there, unsure of what to do.

Neither of them can get proper rest while they're in this position.

So Hoshino made a rather bold decision.

"excuse me!"

"What?! Oh!"

Hoshinoki then picked up Ai Haibara and held her in his arms.

Ai Haibara's small body curled up in Hoshino Ki's arms like a soft, fluffy doll.

He placed the cup he was holding on the kitchen table.

Then she carried him to her room.

"!!!"

Ai Haibara's small hands gripped Hoshino Ki's clothes tightly.

Her hands were already sweating profusely.

The sweat soaked all over Hoshino's clothes.

If Ai Haibara were to release her little paws at this moment.

You'll see that the once pristine white pajamas have become wet and wrinkled.

Hoshino didn't care.

He just kept walking while holding the little princess in his arms.

He went to his room.

He placed Ai Haibara on his bed.

"you..."

As soon as Ai Haibara's little bottom touched the bed, she nervously moved to the innermost side.

By the time she turned 14, she had nowhere left to hide.

She even pulled the blanket off his bed to cover her small body.

"..."

Hoshino looked indifferently at Ai Haibara's flat-chested little bear.

There was a hint of disdain in his gaze.

"You idiot!"

Ai Haibara clearly understood what he meant.

In an instant, they lost all sense of defensiveness.

He simply threw back the covers and lay down inside.

"good night!"

As I lay down...

Ai Haibara still wished Hoshinoki goodnight.

"Okay! Goodnight!"

Hoshinoki lay down beside her.

Soon, the sound of even breathing could be heard.

He was really tired.

The moment Hoshinoki closed his eyes.

Ai Haibara opened her eyes.

She rolled over and lay on her side, facing Hoshinoki.

Looking at Hoshinoki's sharply defined profile.

The scenes in the dream were so real and vivid.

in a dream.

Hoshinogi got married.

He married a stranger.

...

Although in real life, Hoshino Ki also has a cold and aloof demeanor.

But it wasn't as unfamiliar and cold-blooded as it felt in my dream.

Thankfully, it was just a dream!

Ai Haibara slowly closed her eyes.

Both of them had fallen into a deep sleep.

At this time.

Outside Hoshinoki's room.

Akemi Miyano's lonely figure appeared.

She leaned against the wall with her head down.

She was also awakened by a nightmare.

......

Its daybreak.

Hoshino opened his eyes.

Ai Haibara, who was beside him, had long since disappeared.

Are children's biological clocks really that accurate?

Looks like I can't deny getting old anymore.

Hoshino tidied himself up and went downstairs.

"Zhao Sijun, you're up so early!"

Akemi Miyano greeted him as always.

The three of them have been living together for some time now.

Hoshinogi had become accustomed to the presence of the two of them.

Every morning when he wakes up and opens his eyes, the first thing he sees is the Miyano sisters.

The three of them have truly become a family now.

They became an inseparable entity.

Just like a toothbrush needs medicated paste to truly fulfill its purpose.

.....

"kindness!"
