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

Only occasionally would his gaze sweep over Hoshinogi.

Hoshino picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.

Being sandwiched between your mother and daughter is not a pleasant feeling.

However, Hoshinoki remained calm and unhurried.

It was as if nothing could disturb his inner peace.

Eri Kisaki noticed that Hoshinoki didn't want to talk to her.

My mood became increasingly irritable.

She put down the spoon in her hand and leaned back in the chair.

Then he looked sternly at Ran Mouri:

"Then why aren't you going yet? What time is it?!"

Ran Mouri was startled and took a deep breath:

"My game is in the second half, so there's no rush."

Eri Kisaki is indeed terrifying.

His serious demeanor made people instinctively shrink back.

Hoshino looked at Eri when he heard her words.

...

After the afternoon match.

Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki originally wanted to invite Hoshino to dinner.

However, Hoshino declined, citing other commitments.

The two women saw that he was determined and had no way to persuade him to stay.

So he agreed.

Hoshino was walking home.

"Buzzing..."

The cell phone rings.

The phone screen showed a call from Akemi Miyano.

Hoshino Kichika answered the phone.

Then her voice came from the other end:

"Wood! Where are you now?"

Hoshinogi remained silent for a few seconds.

Instead of answering the question, he asked in return:

"anything?"

"Well, Professor Agasa invited us to go skiing tomorrow, but I can't go because of something. Why don't you take Ai and Xiao Ai instead?"

"it is good!"

Hoshino immediately agreed.

If it's Professor Agasa who invited me.

There will definitely be a juvenile detective club.

It would be good to let Hoshino Ai make more friends.

This is beneficial to her physical and mental health.

......

Early the next morning.

Hoshino got up early to wash and get ready.

After breakfast, he set off with Ai Haibara and Ai Hoshino.

The three of them drove themselves to the designated location to meet up with the others.

Then we took the bus together to the ski resort.

The ski resort was covered in snow, and it was still quite cold.

Therefore, Akemi Miyano prepared relatively thick clothes for the three of them.

Hoshinoki froze on the spot the moment he opened the trunk.

The once empty trunk was now crammed full.

Not a single gap was left.

"Sister, really! Why do you always prepare so much stuff?"

Ai Haibara leaned out to look into the trunk.

She looked helpless, and her icy blue eyes turned into crescent-shaped eyes.

"Well..."

Hoshino Aiya stood to the side, tugging at Hoshino Ki's trouser leg.

A hint of naivety and innocence shone in his eyes.

Hoshinoki silently shook his head.

After rummaging through the contents, he took out the essential clothing for the three of them and put it in a backpack.

Then I left the rest of the clothes in the trunk.

Hoshino slung his backpack over his shoulder and turned around.

Then he lowered his head and placed his hands on the shoulders of the two little girls:

"Let's go!"

Just as the three of them were about to head to the meeting point.

"Hoshino-nii-san!"

A childish voice suddenly came from behind.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the Junior Detective League and Professor Agasa.

They had just gotten off Professor Agasa's yellow beetle.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Hoshino-kun. How have you been?"

"Ahhh, Achoo!"

Professor Agasa is still the same as always.

She still had that kind look with her big belly sticking out.

only...

He seems to have caught a cold.

After greeting Hoshinogi, he sneezed loudly.

"long time no see!"

Hoshino nodded to Professor Agasa.

"Huh! Who is this little girl? I've never seen her before."

Conan noticed Hoshino Ai peeking out from behind Hoshino Ki.

He jumped out and pointed at Hoshino Ai with an innocent look on his face.

"Hey!"

Hoshino Ai noticed that someone had noticed her.

He quickly hid behind Hoshino Ki once again.

"Her name is Hoshino Ai."

Ai Haibara introduced it to everyone.

"what?"

Everyone looked shocked.

"Um... if your surname is Hoshino... are you Hoshino-nii's younger sister?"

Ayumi exclaimed in shock.

"..."

Ai Haibara glanced at Hoshino Ki with an expression of "watching a good show".

Hoshinogi lowered his head and met Ai Haibara's gaze.
