Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

Then he looked away, pretending nothing had happened.

After noticing Ai Haibara's actions, Jia Chen was both amused and exasperated.

After replying to the message, he waved his phone in front of Ai.

"Is it that red-haired shrine maiden?" Ai Haibara asked doubtfully.

“It’s her classmate, Phantom Thief Kid,” Jia Chen said. “Ai, is there any food left in the refrigerator?”

"There are plenty, don't worry." Ai Haibara nodded after hearing this.

A while later, the doorbell rang, and Jia Chen got up and opened the door.

"Brother Jia Chen." Kaito Kuroba stood outside the door with a grin.

He was accompanied by two high school girls, one named Miyano Akemi, and a brown-haired young man with an eagle perched on his shoulder.

"Brother Jiachen." Nakamori Aoko greeted him with a smile. She had met Jiachen before when they were at school.

"Hello, I'm Hakuba Saguru, Kaito's classmate." Hakuba Saguru looked directly at Kachin, scrutinizing him with his eyes. Noticing that Kachin was looking at the eagle on his shoulder, he smiled and said, "This is Watson. It's very obedient and won't fly off on its own."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eagle, which was staring at Jia Chen, suddenly flapped its wings and thrashed about, as if it had seen its natural enemy.

White Horse Scout:

.....

Everyone:

“Very good.” Jia Chen activated his Observation Haki, and Watson instantly calmed down. “Please come in.”

Hirota Masami and Koizumi Akako nodded to Gatatsu. When Hirota Masami saw Haibara Ai, she didn't say anything, but just smiled. The upturned corners of her mouth and the light in her eyes said everything.

"Wow, Brother Jiachen, is this your sister?" At this moment, Nakamori Aoko was already attracted by Haibara Ai's appearance. "She's as cute as a porcelain doll."

"Hello, my name is Ai Haibara," Ai said calmly. "I'm from Jia Chen's..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Jia Chen.

Jia Chen:

I have a bad feeling. If Ai subconsciously mentions her girlfriend, that would be really bad.

“She’s Jia Chen’s distant cousin.” After noticing Jia Chen’s gaze, Xiao Ai said with a slight smile.

"That's great!" Nakamori Aoko squatted down and chatted with Haibara Ai.

"I'm so glad she met such a kind person as Mr. Jiachen." Miyano Akemi said with a smile, looking at the lively atmosphere. "By the way, what would Mr. Jiachen like to eat today? I'll go cook."

"No need, I'll go cook," Jia Chen said calmly. "You can go play with Xiao Ai for a while; she seems troubled."

Feeling annoyed?

Akemi Miyano paused for a moment, then shifted her gaze...

When she saw Ai Haibara responding to Aoko Nakamori with an impatient expression, she burst out laughing.

"Little Shiho is so cute now..." Miyano Akemi muttered, then went over to play with her younger sister.

After Jia Chen went into the kitchen, Kuroba Kaito invited everyone to sit down and then took out the "Who is Kuro?" cards to play with.

"Would you like some juice? Brother Jia Chen, there's still some juice in the fridge, right?" Kuroba Kaito asked.

"Yes, go get it yourself," Jia Chen replied from the kitchen.

After speaking, Jia Chen lowered his eyes and carefully prepared the base sauce.

He was craving a hot pot with two broths, but Ai disagreed, so he had no choice but to make it himself.

After a while, Kaito Kuroba walked in.

"Brother Jiachen, do you need my help?" Kuroba Kaito asked as he walked up to Jiachen.

"No need." Jia Chen's gaze remained lowered. "Why aren't you playing outside?"

"Nobody plays 'Who's the Black One'," Kaito Kuroba shrugged. "A bunch of girls are chatting, Shiratori is playing with his eagle, and I'm just serving tea and water. It's so boring."

Jia Chen: "...."

It seems the online card game "Who is the Black Knight" needs to speed up its release.

"By the way, Gachen-nii..." Kuroba Kaito remembered what had happened before, "How's your organization doing now?"

“It’s pretty good,” Jia Chen said. “The salary and benefits are high, with five social insurances and one housing fund, and the hours are flexible. It’s just that the colleagues have some mental issues.”

Kaito in black:

Is that what he's asking about? That organization that can arbitrarily mobilize snipers is dangerous, you know!

Why has it become a relaxed work situation here with Brother Jiachen...?

wrong.

Kaito Kuroba frowned. He knew that Gashin-san was always very 'awkward' in expressing his concern.

The truth is that Brother Jiachen is currently in a dangerous situation and doesn't want to drag himself into it, so as not to put himself in a dangerous position.

This kindness... he really... I'm so moved I could cry.

"Ahem, Brother Jiachen, if you really encounter danger, you can come to me." Kuroba Kaito didn't say much, just smiled and said, "I can help you too."

Jia Chen paused for a moment, then turned to look at the smiling Kuroba Kaito.

"No need, I'm fine. That organization is dangerous."

Jia Chen felt that Kuroba Kaito was still quite normal at the moment, but if he got involved with Gin and Vodka, his mental state would become abnormal in a few days.

"Seriously? You don't trust me at all?" Kaito Kuroba whispered to Gatsuki. "I'm Kaito Kid!"

"Don't worry about my affairs," Jia Chen said. "Let's deal with your problems first."

Kaito Kuroba, who serves as the protagonist's archetype, also has a rival organization, the Zoo...

中赚。郡‘5)9{⑨3*⒎0<3{②4}

Their goal is to find the Pandora Gem, just as Phantom Thief Kid's goal is to find the Pandora Gem.

"You know this too?" Kaito Kuroba asked suspiciously. "Did my father tell you?"

Previously, Gachen had revealed information about his father, leading Kaito Kuroba to believe that Gachen had met his father.

Moreover, it's quite possible they even know each other...

Jia Chen nodded. "Of course not, young man. Qingshan told me that."

“Of course, I’ll keep an eye on that organization for you,” Jia Chen said.

Kaito Kuroba was silent for a moment, perhaps thinking of his father. He placed his hands on the table and looked out the window. "You know... Poker Face."

“Yeah, I know,” Jia Chen said. “It’s just facial paralysis.”

Kaito Kuroba slumped slightly. "Hey, hey, that's not how it works. Didn't I explain it to you when we were learning the Disguise Technique?"

"When playing poker, you can't change your expression no matter if you get a good hand or a bad hand," Kaito Kuroba said from the side, his expression somber.

"No matter what happens, you must stay calm and clear-headed." Jia Chen put the base ingredients into the pot of boiling water and put the lid on.

Kaito Kuroba stood frozen in place, his mind replaying Toichi Kuroba's words...

“Remember to be careful of someone codenamed Spider,” Jia Chen said. “He can use illusions.”

I remember in the original story, Kaito Kuroba almost fell into Spider's hands.

However, he wasn't too clear about the timeline, since the timeline in Detective Conan is currently quite messy.

“Spider?” Kaito Kuroba thought for a moment, then looked at Gatsuki with a strange expression. “No way, Gatsuki-nii, how do you know more than me?”

"The organization's intelligence network," Jia Chen replied calmly.

"Brother Jia Chen." Kuroba Kaito paused for a moment, then instantly realized what was going on.

Brother Jiachen has never forgotten himself and still puts himself first.

He knew the organization of the zoo; it was very secretive, and the privacy of its members' code names was extremely well protected.

But Brother Jiachen understands, clearly...

This shows that Brother Jiachen has gone to great lengths for him.

Moreover, Brother Jiachen's organization isn't exactly a benevolent group either...

"Thank you, Gachen-nii." Kuroba Kaito accepted Gachen's kindness and love, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

The faint sadness that had just been there was quickly dispelled by the joy.

Feeling Kaito Kuroba's burning gaze, Jia Chen remained silent for a while, then said, "You can go out first, wait for dinner later."

"Ah... is Brother Jiachen kicking me out already?" Kuroba Kaito exhaled deeply, his eyes alluring. "I can help you organize the ingredients."

"Now... get out." Jia Chen gave Kuroba Kaito a cold look.

I've heard before that cross-dressing can cause some weird fetishes. I wonder if Kaito Kuroba is abnormal too.

"Okay." Kaito Kuroba nodded and turned to leave.

On the other side, Koizumi Akako twitched her nose, glanced at the kitchen, and said to Nakamori Aoko and the others, "I'll go see if Kachin has finished cooking."

“I’ll go too, we can help each other out.” Ai Haibara pulled Akako Koizumi back.
