The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

So I quickly followed up by saying that I was a little hungry after waking up.

Things are different now than when we were doing research. Children's metabolism is faster, so even though they can't eat much at one meal, they get hungry quite quickly.

"Luckily, we still have plenty of food at home. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Kaoru Kazama couldn't sleep either, so she got up and cooked a meal to help her digest.

I got up, put on my slippers, and took Ai to the kitchen. We were just opening the refrigerator to pick out ingredients.

"Anything is fine with me, I'm not picky about food."

Ai Haibara was just looking for an excuse to explain why she came. Although she was a little hungry, she really didn't know what to eat for the moment.

"It's getting late, so it's best to eat something easy to digest. Let's make porridge."

The refrigerator was filled with a lot of fruit, including bananas, kiwis, apples, cherries, and many other kinds.

It seems that women like to stock up on fruit at home, and someone even said that a house with a woman can't be without fruit.

Kaoru Kazama doesn't really like these things, mainly because she finds them troublesome. She usually eats them without hesitation when Akemi cuts them into small pieces and pierces them with toothpicks.

She had just eaten too much and was feeling a bit indigestion, so I decided to make her some fresh fruit oatmeal porridge.

After making the decision, Kaoru Kazama took the necessary fruits out of the refrigerator, peeled them, cut them into small pieces, and set them aside for later use.

Then take out a certain amount of water, bring it to a boil, and then add the oatmeal and cook for a while.

After boiling, add milk and cook together for two to three minutes. Add the fruits to the pot in order of their firmness and cook together.

Finally, sprinkle some white sugar according to your personal preference, stir well, and it's ready to serve.

The steps are very simple, and it has the effects of beautifying the skin, promoting digestion, etc., making it suitable for evening consumption.

Kaoru Kazama even ladled out Ai's porridge before sprinkling a small amount of white sugar on it.

This guy is used to drinking coffee and doesn't like adding sugar, but Kaoru Kazama always either doesn't add any or adds a lot, so it's better to add sugar separately.

In the family, Kaoru Kazama is the sweet one, Ai Haibara is the bitter one, and Akemi can be either, but leans more towards the sweet one.

In this respect, Ai's habits can be described as quite strange.

Chapter 708 Ai Haibara Wants to Sleep Together

"It's ready, eat up and get some rest after you finish."

Kaoru Kazama's house has an open kitchen, and Ai Ai had been sitting on the bar behind her the whole time.

She was lost in thought, staring blankly into space, until Kaoru Kazama placed a bowl full of porridge in front of her, which brought her back to her senses.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some difficulties in my research, so I got distracted for a moment."

Ai spoke calmly, maintaining her indifferent expression, but her ears had already subtly turned red.

Is it true that a proud and aloof feeling is usually expressed through the ears?

Kaoru Kazama looked at this scene and thought to himself.

Actually, Ai wasn't thinking about any difficulties in drug research; she was just thinking about how to make a reasonable request to sleep with Kaoru Kazama.

No matter how you look at it, this request is too abrupt. After all, she's not a real child. She would never do something like that—pretending to be cute like a child in order to get into bed with a girl.

Yes, she once felt somewhat sorry for Ran Mouri, rather than for Shinichi Kudo, who was shrunk by the drug she invented.

Based on what she currently knows, the detective has already successfully gained many advantages by taking advantage of his childlike physique.

This includes outrageous behaviors such as sleeping together, changing clothes together, and even showering together.

She suspects that it is precisely because shrinking makes women less vigilant that the lecherous soul hidden deep within the great detective's heart is unleashed.

Because of this, she will never let her guard down around children again, absolutely never.

"Ai, eat up."

Seeing that Ai seemed to be spacing out again, Kaoru Kazama suspected that he had passed on his habit of spacing out to the Miyano sisters.

With a touch of guilt, Kaoru Kazama picked up the bowl of porridge in front of Ai, then used his other hand to scoop out most of the porridge and brought it to Ai's lips.

"I'm not a child; I can eat by myself."

Ai, who was lost in thought, was fed several bites by Kaoru Kazama before she came to her senses.

Feeding play is too embarrassing. This time, even her usual aloof persona couldn't hold back. She almost cried out in embarrassment, but luckily she remembered that it was the middle of the night and she shouldn't make a loud noise. So she forced herself to hold back and said to Kazama Kaoru, who seemed very interested, with a straight face.

"It's okay, anyway, you were younger than me before, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just open your mouth."

Kaoru Kazama held the spoon to Ai's lips again, pushing it forward to urge her to open her mouth, which she was too shy to do.

Ultimately, whether she came to her senses or gave up entirely, she closed her eyes resignedly and opened her mouth, beginning the feeding play.

And so it continued in this tacit agreement.

"Alright, you should be full by now."

"kindness"

Her voice remained as cool and aloof as ever, but after this feeding play, her cool persona crumbled somewhat, and even Ai's own voice trembled slightly.

Perhaps this performance is a challenge for her as well.

I usually look down on the detective's cute and cuddly behavior, but I never expected to actually fall for it myself today.

It seems like Ran Mouri has never treated the Great Detective like this before, but you never know. That girl always treats the Great Detective like a son; they've even bathed together. What's a little thing like feeding him?

She seemed to be convincing herself with the glorious deeds of the great detective, and it took her a while to calm down.

I don't know why, but I'm feeling unsettled today. Could it be because I dreamt about the organization?

Ai thought to herself, trying to find a reason for her turbulent emotions today.

"Ai, do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

Just then, Kazama Kaoru's words caused her aloof persona to crumble.

"What's wrong?"

She forced herself to maintain a cold expression and calm tone, but her heart was already churning with turmoil.

"It's nothing, I just felt it was necessary to do this. So, are you coming or not?"

Kaoru Kazama didn't try to figure out Ai's inner thoughts. She just felt that Ai was acting strangely today. Considering Ai's habit of having nightmares, she guessed that Ai might not have slept well today.

After all, when I first saw her tonight, her hair was completely soaked with sweat. In that situation, having someone to sleep with would make me feel a little more at ease.

"Since you've put it that way, then so be it."

Ai Haibara suppressed her wildly beating heart and tried her best to keep her expression unchanged.

"Let's go then. It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

Kaoru Kazama stood up from her seat at the bar, took Ai's slender hand, and led her back to her bedroom.

Although the weather isn't very cold right now, you might still feel cold if you don't cover yourself with a blanket.

Since Ai had just worked up a sweat, Kaoru Kazama simply lay on his side and hugged her tightly.

The seven-year-old child's body was gently embraced by Kazama Kaoru, just like before in the passenger seat. Kazama Kaoru lowered her head and nestled her neck, breathing in the quiet, cool fragrance emanating from her body.

Ai froze the moment Kazama Kaoru hugged her, not daring to move. She tried to break free from his embrace, but was easily pulled back.

After trying several times, Ai Haibara was only hugged tighter and tighter, so she had no choice but to give up resisting and imagine herself as a lifeless corpse so that she wouldn't feel shy.

"Okay, go to sleep now, it's getting late."

After Kaoru Kazama finished speaking, she didn't receive a reply. She didn't think much of it and felt that there was no movement in her arms, so she assumed that Ai had fallen asleep.

Children have limited energy, even if their minds are like an adult's.

It wasn't until much later, when Kaoru Kazama was almost asleep, that she heard a soft voice coming from her arms.

"Good night"

The sound was very soft, as if the owner did not want to be heard.

However, Kazama Kaoru wasn't entirely at peace with herself. After all, she was holding a legally seven-year-old girl in her arms who was actually eighteen. It would be a lie to say that she was completely calm.

So she heard Ai's "goodnight" clearly.

Kaoru Kazama's lips curled up slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Ai is so adorably tsundere, but it's best to pretend you didn't hear her at this point. If you say goodnight to her and let her know you're not asleep yet, and that you clearly heard her say goodnight, she thinks Ai might break down tonight.

So, Kaoru Kazama drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face. Perhaps it was the influence of the sweet-smelling little girl in her arms, but her dream that night was exceptionally sweet.

Chapter 709 The Manifestation of the Uzumaki Clan's Powerful Vitality

"I'll head out now, Ai. You get some sleep."

The next morning, Kaoru Kazama got up early, which was unusual for him, without waiting for Akemi's mother to call him.

It was only seven in the morning, and Ai, who had stayed up all night researching, was still asleep. So Kaoru Kazama got up quietly, covered Ai with the blanket, and then whispered that he was leaving.

Are you leaving so early today?

Ai is a light sleeper. Although Kaoru Kazama tried to move as quietly as possible, the feeling of emptiness beside her still woke her up.

Opening his sleepy face, he forced himself to stay awake and asked:

"Yes, there are a lot of reports backlogged over there that need to be processed quickly, so we have to leave early today, otherwise we'll have to work overtime tonight."

"Aren't you going to join that Ogasawara dolphin tour?"

It's a good thing Ai still remembers this, but Kaoru Kazama really doesn't plan to go there in her original identity. After all, there was already a policeman there in the original story. If she goes there, there will be three police officers, including Kogoro Mouri.

It might alert the killer, causing them to take some action.

So Kaoru Kazama decided to go there under a different identity and just muddle through.

"There's nothing I can do. Work always comes so suddenly, catching me off guard. I'll have to deal with tour groups another time."

Kaoru Kazama made up an excuse. Since she was going to go there under a different identity, she had to find a reason to appear busy with work.

"I see."

After getting the answer, Ai finally succumbed to sleepiness and drifted off to sleep again.
