My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

"I'm looking for a friend of mine named Conan Edogawa."

Ai Haibara didn't directly say she was there to see her father, but upon hearing the name, the gatekeeper paused slightly: "Edogawa Conan?"

Chapter 444: My name is Conan Edogawa, and I'm a villainous savior!

"What's wrong?"

Ai Haibara frowned, and the gatekeeper quickly explained, "It's nothing. I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before. The name Conan Edogawa is also quite interesting. His father was a fan of detective novels."

Speaking of which, our school is the alma mater of the famous detective. Okay, enough rambling. What does your friend do?

"The construction team? Or perhaps a teacher from the school? I'll contact the relevant personnel to check."

The gatekeeper said that at this time of day, the teachers at Teitan Elementary School should be in class, so it wasn't convenient for him to ask Ai Haibara to go directly to them.

"Ah, he, he must be a teacher?"

Ai Haibara said somewhat uncertainly, and the gatekeeper immediately noticed her uncertainty: "Should?"

"Yes, I only know him from online acquaintances and that he works at this school."

Ai Haibara quickly came up with an excuse, and upon hearing it, the security guard nodded and dialed the administration office to ask which class Conan-sensei taught.

"There is no such person?"

A dozen seconds later, the security guard frowned upon hearing the voice on the other end of the phone. Realizing he might have misjudged the profession, he checked with the construction team, but they didn't have that person either.

"...No need to check anymore, I think I've found Conan."

Not long after I shared my thoughts, a complicated voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, that's good. Is he free now? The person who came looking for him is still waiting outside."

The security guard, ignoring the complicated tone of his voice, gave a brief explanation to Ai Haibara. Upon hearing the news that Conan had been found, Ai Haibara felt a little uneasy.

I don't know what my father is like now, or what his personality is like.

Ai Haibara envisioned a scholarly researcher, a man taller than herself, in her mind—the father she had imagined.

The security guard opened the school gate with the device at that moment. Looking at the message from the person in charge of records at the Academic Affairs Office, the guard said:

"Conan will meet you in the garden later. To get to the garden, just go straight in front of the building, then turn right and continue straight."

Hearing this, Ai Haibara nodded, took a deep breath to suppress her unfamiliarity with her father, and walked towards the garden.

Amuro Tooru glanced at the gatekeeper and then secretly slipped to the side to start climbing over the wall. After climbing over the wall with the climbing tool he carried with him, he kept his distance and slowly followed Ai Haibara.

The road to the garden wasn't actually that far, and Conan hadn't arrived by the time Ai Haibara got there.

Looking up at the sky, Ai Haibara felt the sunlight was too bright; having spent all her time in the laboratory, she was still not used to the sunlight.

"You... are my online friend?"

Just then, a voice that sounded quite young came from not far from Ai Haibara, who was looking up at the sun. A primary school student wearing a red bow tie had a complicated expression on his face.

Conan really wanted to ask, "Who are you anyway? How could this kind of thing happen? I never revealed that I was at Teitan Elementary School."

Wait, someone pretended to be an online friend to visit me and found out I was at Teitan Elementary School...

The name Conan never existed before, so is he someone who came from Kudo Shinichi?

"you are?"

Looking down at Conan, Ai Haibara asked with a hint of confusion, while Conan slowly revealed his name: "My name is Conan Edogawa, a villainous savior."

???

Ai Haibara froze on the spot, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"Wait a minute, what did you say your name was?"

Ai Haibara covered her face with her hands, wondering if she was hallucinating.

Wait a minute, could this kid be playing a prank on me?

Based on the assumption that his father is probably a teacher, the child may dislike his father because of academic pressure or something similar.

Is he deliberately pretending to be his father? What are elementary school students thinking these days? The height difference is so huge, it's like an act, but the purity of the act is too low.

Ai Haibara shook her head, then said in a completely disbelieving tone, "You are my father, Conan Edogawa. What proof do you have?"

As he said this, the program set up by the other reincarnator had already detected that something was wrong with the location.

"At this time... has Conan skipped class?"

Upon hearing the alarm corresponding to Conan, Su Qing thought for a moment and said as she ran, "The group of reincarnators quickly arrived in front of the screen connected to the monitor."

Just as Conan's image appeared on the screen, his voice rang out:

"Evidence? I, the Villainous Savior, never need evidence to do my things."

Good grief, you admit it.

Hearing these words, Pineapple felt a little tired, while Su Qing beside her brightened up.

As for me, I love the dark side scenes the most.

The detective, who yearns for justice, finds it out of reach and ultimately falls into depravity, becoming the savior of villains.

This setting really resonates with me.

After a moment of confusion, Ai Haibara understood. "Oh, I see."

This kid is... oh right, I guess he's called a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) patient, right?

Is the savior of villains his imagined scenario? It does seem a bit different from typical fantasies of righteous heroes.

Wait a minute, what did this woman say?

Just then, Conan suddenly realized, what did she just call him?

Father... I'm only a few years old now. If you were my daughter, who could be so heartless and cruel?

They even spared a primary school student like myself? This is unbelievable... Wait a minute!

Conan, who initially thought it was a prank, suddenly remembered that he did indeed have a daughter.

That daughter... I think her name is Shiho Miyano. If the girl in front of me is Shiho Miyano, then wouldn't that mean...?

"I'm your father?!"

Conan looked at Ai Haibara in front of him and said in a surprised tone, while Ai Haibara was also stunned.

Why is this elementary school student swearing for no reason? That's going too far!

"No wonder he's the savior of villains! Goodness, we wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing!"

Looking at Conan on the screen, Pineapple was genuinely surprised by the sudden outburst of profanity, while Su Qing's eyes seemed to have lost their sparkle.

Conan swore, and my youth vanished.

Ai Haibara was stunned when she saw Conan Edogawa speaking with such certainty. Could this elementary school student in front of her be her father?

This is absolutely absurd!

But if this confident tone is feigned, are elementary school students really that capable now?

Chapter 445: Three Fairy Tales

After returning from Teitan Elementary School, Ai Haibara's feelings remained quite complicated.

She had imagined many scenarios, but she never expected that her father would turn into a primary school student younger than herself.

"This is really troublesome."

Ai Haibara said, somewhat unsure how to face the situation, when at that moment, Ai Haibara, who had already returned to her place of house arrest, suddenly heard a notification sound.

Upon opening the computer, which is unable to connect to the outside network, Ai Haibara saw a series of files.

"what is this?"

Ai Haibara looked at the documents with some confusion, but after opening them, she found that they were all business decisions made by the organization.

The phone rang at that moment, and Ai Haibara, not understanding what was going on, instinctively picked it up.

After a few seconds, she took a deep breath and was at a loss for what to do.

These documents were all to be handled by him. Following Gin's instructions from the phone call earlier, Kudo Yusaku ordered him to process these documents.

If he handles things well, he will reward himself, for example, by giving himself a chance to meet his sister.

When Ai Haibara heard those words, she immediately understood what Yusaku Kudo meant. Without a doubt, this was a threat.

The threat to himself was that if he didn't obediently handle these documents, his sister's life might be in danger.

I don't know if my father saw through the clues I gave him during our conversation, regarding my and my sister's current situation, and the identity my sister used before.

During her conversation with Conan, she made it clear from the very beginning.

Later, because Bourbon had arrived and started monitoring Ai Haibara, she didn't dare to say it directly. Her father must have also discovered this situation.

Both he and his father were intelligent enough that they understood Bourbon's existence primarily through various hints and suggestions.

He successfully disguised himself as someone who only saw Conan as an ordinary child, and told his father three fairy tales in a casual, childish manner.

We must see through those three fairy tales and rescue my sister!

Although Ai Haibara didn't completely believe it at this moment, she could only place her hopes on this child who claimed to be her father.

Feeling threatened by Yusaku Kudo, Ai Haibara reluctantly began to carefully examine the documents.

Although I didn't study finance, I don't need much related knowledge to process these documents.

With the addition of some related materials and files, Ai Haibara was still able to manage to produce some decent results.

While Ai Haibara was handling her work, Conan took a deep breath and looked at the information he had deciphered.

The words that his own soul's daughter, Ai Haibara, wanted to say were hidden in three fairy tales, which he had already revealed.

The first story revealed that his two daughters were in grave danger, and could die at any moment because of that mysterious organization.

The second story alludes to the power shift within the organization, with the person now in the leadership position being the very person who led them to this point.

The metaphor in the third story is her sister's current location and employee number. Having obtained three answers, Conan decides to first try to find out who the person corresponding to that bank and that employee number is.
