The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

She didn't want her sister, who had already been deceived once, to be deceived again, which is why she was so firm.

"Don't be nervous, we have another way. For example, you can have your sister take the same medicine you took, so that you both shrink and hide your target. However, this would increase your danger, since the sudden appearance of two children is something that can't be completely hidden."

Kaoru Kazama had heard many legends about this magical drug online, but having been in the Conan world for so long, he had never actually seen it, which was a bit of a disappointment. More than the antidote, he wanted to see this poison that Conan hated so much.

"Well... although I'd like to do that too, on the one hand, there's an overwhelming amount of information about this drug, and it would take me a very long time to recover on my own. Also, I'm not sure if aptx-4869 can make my sister shrink."

"The only two cases so far are me and Shinichi Kudo. I suspect that the limitation to shrinking may be age. To trigger the occasional effect of programmed cell death, the cell activity must be very high. Gin has used this drug before, but most of the patients are billionaires or high-ranking politicians, who are all around fifty years old. Only Shinichi Kudo and I, who are under twenty, have shrunk. However, my sister is already twenty-five years old, so I'm not sure if this change will happen to her."

When the topic turns to research, Ai Haibara seems like a completely different person. Although her expression remains calm, you can tell from her speaking speed that she is quite happy to share knowledge in her field of expertise.

However, Kaoru Kazama noticed that when Ai Haibara said, "My sister is already twenty-five years old," Akemi Miyano's cousin seemed a little awkward.

Indeed, age is a woman's biggest secret. If Ai Haibara were to make such a disdainful comment about her sister's age, a woman like Yukiko Kudo, who is extremely concerned about her age, might have already exploded.

"Then there's only one last plan: have Mingmei dress as a man and live as my boyfriend."

Akemi Miyano: "......"

Ai Haibara: "......"

At this moment, the expressions of the two sisters, who have completely different personalities, overlapped, both looking utterly bewildered.jpg, a product of the Miyano family.

Chapter 126 Emptying the mind is contagious

"Xiao...Xiao Xun, you're not kidding, are you?"

Akemi Miyano's voice trembled slightly; she probably had never witnessed such an operation in her lifetime.

Indeed, although the Conan world has produced cross-dressing masters like Asami Narumi, who can be described as a miracle of creation, it is still a niche culture and has not yet become widespread. People's thoughts are still quite simple.

"Sister, maybe we should really give it a try."

In stark contrast to Akemi Miyano's panic, Ai Haibara remained as calm as ever. Even upon hearing such explosive news, she maintained a composed expression. However, whether her values ​​were actually shaken is a matter of opinion.

"Alright, let's not discuss this for now. Anyway, Mingmei, you can think about it slowly. If you can pretend to be my boyfriend, it will be a favor to me."

Upon hearing this, the little girl who had been calmly observing from the sidelines seemed to take a liking to it, her eyes showing a hint of inquiry, as if she was very interested in digging out the private information of the mysterious person in front of her.

"Oh, by the way, Shiho, what are you going to do next? Have you researched an antidote?"

Although she knew her sister was researching a drug, she didn't know its specific effects. After all, she also knew that although her sister seemed cold, she was actually quite kind-hearted. She must be quite resistant to the idea of ​​her sister researching a poison that would silently take people's lives. So, she rarely mentioned such things when they were together.

"Antidote? In fact, this drug has not been fully developed yet. Although countless experiments have been conducted on mice, how much efficacy it will have on humans is still unknown. After all, people who have taken this drug either died or shrunk. My special case is not representative. If the efficacy and properties of the drug are not fully explored, an antidote cannot be developed."

Unbeknownst to her, Ai Haibara had developed an aura that kept strangers at bay, especially when she spoke the word "human." She was as calm as if she weren't one of her own kind, allowing Kaoru Kazama to deeply experience the true meaning of Frankenstein's monster.

"I guess I'd better avoid messing with this cunning little girl in the future, or I won't even know how I died."

The three of them continued their discussion until very late. Despite Miyano Akemi's numerous attempts to send Haibara Ai back to her bedroom to sleep, and despite her display of elder sister authority, it had little effect on this night owl.

------------

Time: 9:30 AM

Location: Entrance of Teitan Elementary School

Characters: Kaoru Kazama, and a tsundere loli with a cold expression (actually, she's incredibly sleepy).

Why did I come to this place?

The little girl looked at Kazama Kaoru, who was wearing black stockings and an office lady outfit, and her dissatisfaction was obvious, but because she couldn't open her eyes wide enough, it didn't have much of an effect.

"At your current age, you're just starting first grade. Experiencing school life is an important part of your life, isn't it?"

Kaoru Kazama's lips curled into a slight smile, remaining steadfast in the face of any change.

Fortunately, there was no one else around them. Otherwise, if parents dropping their children off at school heard someone talking to a seven-year-old like that, they would definitely think Kazama Kaoru was crazy.

"Moreover, Conan, oh, that is, Shinichi Kudo after he shrunk, is also in this school, and he's doing quite well among the elementary school students. Since you're going to research the antidote, he should be a very important research subject for you."

'Was the research into the antidote all for him?'

Ai Haibara was indeed quite interested in this first case of someone who successfully shrank after ingesting the poison she had researched; otherwise, she wouldn't have volunteered to search Shinichi Kudo's villa. In fact, she was the one who initiated that search.

As we can see from the later plot, Gin has finally realized that he once poisoned a boy named Shinichi Kudo. The reason for this investigation was that it was proposed by Shiho Miyano, the drug's developer.

"Really? I don't care, but I don't have any research data on hand. If you want me to develop an antidote as soon as possible, I think you'd better act quickly."

Actually, this is the result we discussed last night. The current time is different from the original story. Ai Haibara has only been out of the organization for one night. The place where she was doing her research, which is the pharmaceutical company that was burned down in the original story, has not yet been destroyed.

Ai Haibara's request was that, in order to speed up the research process, it would be best to obtain as much of the data from her previous research as possible.

In the original story, Conan and his friends went to visit Professor Hirota and retrieve the porcelain shards of medicine she had mistakenly sent, but they were unsuccessful. Ai Haibara's suggestion was the same as before, but to her surprise, Kaoru Kazama would take the initiative to go to the pharmaceutical company.

Actually, there wasn't much danger inside. After all, it was located in Tokyo, so it was impossible to openly equip it with a large amount of heavy firepower. Gin was running around every day, and all he carried was a pistol.

The real problem is that if any traces are left during the operation, the organization's capabilities make it easy to track them down to their current location, which would be troublesome.

It's important to understand that the distillery isn't actually known for its military might. In such a chaotic and unpredictable place, both loyal members and undercover agents possess formidable reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities.

Gin is one of the best at this, having seen through Conan's elaborate traps with just a glance on many occasions, demonstrating his powerful logical reasoning skills.

In fact, Kaoru Kazama had thought more than once that if these antisocial psychopaths turned to detective work, Tokyo's crime rate would definitely drop to an unprecedented level.

"Hey, why are you spacing out again for no reason? Weren't you going to take me to see the principal? Class is about to start."

While deep in thought, Kaoru Kazama felt someone tugging at him. Looking down, he saw that it was Ai Haibara grabbing the hem of his skirt. However, because she wasn't tall enough and her strength was weak, it looked quite cute from his angle.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there now."

Kaoru Kazama smiled slightly, quickly squatted down, and directly hugged the proud little girl in front of him.

"Don't move around, or people will laugh at you."

Just as she was struggling, Ai Haibara noticed the parents looking in her direction. After frowning and thinking for a moment, she quieted down.

Stay calm and act like an adult. Wouldn't it make you more like a child if you started making a scene in her arms right now?

This is Ai Haibara's truest feeling right now. She has a strange feeling about Kaoru Kazama. On one hand, she is grateful. Kaoru not only rescued her sister from Gin, but also allowed her, who had escaped the organization in despair, to reunite with her sister. She is not an ungrateful person, otherwise she would not have agreed to Kaoru Kazama's request so easily.

The only thing that bothered her was that whether it was saving her sister or finding herself, it all seemed like a predetermined outcome. She was quite certain that she had never met such a person before.

Having grown up in a dark organization, she doesn't believe in free lunches. She thinks Kazama Kaoru must have ulterior motives, but she can't really tell anything from her current behavior, so she subconsciously maintains this distance—a survival strategy within the organization.

The organization is a huge vortex, hiding countless secrets. Unfortunately, those with excessive curiosity are all dead.

As the daughter of the mad scientist Atsushi Miyano, her survival in that massive organization was not solely due to her biological talent.

She never casually explores things she doesn't understand, and she always keeps her distance from mysterious things, never touching them. This is the fundamental reason for her attitude.

Perhaps infected by Kazama Kaoru's penchant for daydreaming, Ai Haibara, held in Kazama Kaoru's arms, quietly spaced out in his embrace, her large, icy blue eyes unusually devoid of any complex expression, as pure as the azure sky.

Kaoru Kazama didn't care about anything else. The feel of the hand was nice, and he had wanted to hug it for a long time. This time, he could say that his long-cherished wish had come true.

Chapter 127 City kids really know how to have fun!

"Can you put me down now? We're already at the principal's office. Are you going to carry me in?"

Although Kaoru Kazama threatened him with words, he could only hug her for a short while. The feel of her was really nice, and he began to understand the thoughts of a lolicon.

Of course, this doesn't mean he's become a lolicon. He simply appreciates beauty and doesn't have any lewd or depraved desires. That's how he explains himself.

He then calmly ignored Ai Haibara's extremely strange gaze, probably because he had never seen a female lolicon before and didn't know how to express his contempt for a moment.

Now for the important matter: the principal of Teitan Elementary School was a kind-looking old man with a long beard and smiling eyes that were almost invisible. Although he was a little hunched over, he was in good spirits and it was clear that he was still in good health.

Although he looks like an ordinary old man now, Kaoru Kazama knows that forty years ago, this old man was very courageous and devoted all his wealth to establishing Teitan Elementary School, so that the children in the neighborhood could receive an education. His pure and sincere heart is deeply touching.

Even now, it's still the same. As soon as they heard that Kaoru Kazama was bringing Ai Haibara to the school, they immediately agreed without saying a word, and even took them to the headmaster.

Seeing this elderly man in his seventies running around, Kaoru Kazama felt a little guilty.

------------

"Alright, little girl, this is your homeroom teacher—Ms. Lin. She's a very responsible teacher!"

"Principal, you flatter me."

Teitan Elementary School is quite efficient; the enrollment process was completed in just half an hour.

Looking at the woman opposite him who looked somewhat like Sato, Kaoru Kazama couldn't help but sigh about life. He hadn't intentionally put Ai Haibara and Conan in the same class. There were three classes in a grade in elementary school, and there was still a one-in-three chance that they would be put together. Could it be called fate?

"Then please take good care of this child from now on, Ms. Lin. She is a little shy and doesn't like to talk to people much, but she is still a very cute child and I'm sure she can get along well with the other children in the class."

Kaoru Kazama was introducing Ai Haibara to Ms. Kobayashi, and her words really had the air of a parent. Fortunately, she stopped herself in time, otherwise she might have blurted out, "If she doesn't listen to you, just hit her. Don't hold back."

Although corporal punishment exists in island nation schools, elementary school life is still quite carefree. The children's main responsibility is to play, play happily, and play healthily. Although Asian academic atmosphere tends to be strict, due to the influence of the United States, elementary school life in island nations is still quite relaxed.

"Ai, this is your homeroom teacher. You must behave well at school from now on, okay? Don't bully others, and don't let others bully you."

In response to Kazama Kaoru's words of advice, the person in question gave a cold expression, seemingly still immersed in the shock of being suddenly picked up earlier.

"This child is really quiet, but quite adorable."

Ms. Kobayashi was already observing Ai Haibara's every move. She was clearly a very responsible teacher. Seeing this, Kaoru Kazama could rest assured. Although he didn't think anyone could bully Ai Haibara, after all, she had the soul of an adult. However, since she had become a child, there were still many inconveniences. It would be great if the teacher could take care of her.

"Then I'll take her with me. It's time for my class now."

The bell rang outside, followed by a chorus of chatter in the corridor. The students had finished class, and Ms. Kobayashi picked up her textbooks, intending to take Ai Haibara to class.

Just then, the sharp-eyed Kaoru Kazama spotted a familiar figure at the door of the classroom office. If he wasn't mistaken, this child should be Mitsuhiko, one of the three mischievous kids he often interacted with.

"Misuhiko!"

Noticing Kazama Kaoru's gaze fixed on him, the freckled little boy was a bit flustered and didn't dare to meet her eyes. After all, he had been scolded by Kazama Kaoru quite a bit during his previous "suicidal actions," and she had even called his parents. The level of terror was no less than that of his homeroom teacher, Ms. Kobayashi.

"W-what's wrong?"

"This is Ai Haibara, my little sister. She just transferred to this elementary school today, and she's in your class. You kids have to take good care of her, okay?"

Originally, this guy came here to see what was going on in the office. He hadn't seen it very clearly from the outside, but once he came in, he discovered that there was such a pretty little girl hiding in the office, and she was even going to transfer to his class. He was overjoyed.

Watching the kid stealing glances at Ai Haibara one moment and then blushing secretly the next, he was genuinely surprised. Sure enough, city kids know how to have fun; they're already playing the game of unrequited love at such a young age.

Kaoru Kazama didn't care about what happened next. It was almost time for him to go to work, otherwise he would be scolded by Inspector Megure again. Rather than accompanying Ai Haibara to complete the enrollment procedures, he was taking the opportunity to skip work and enjoy a rare nap.

"I wonder how that arrogant little girl is doing at school now? She's probably been dragged into a fight by the three brats. I guess Conan is about to get into trouble."

Thinking about this, Kazama Kaoru felt a little smug. This kid was sometimes really infuriating. For example, during our last conversation, he was full of love and justice, making you want to slap him to wake him up. He was so angry that his liver hurt, and he still hasn't recovered.

It's quite strange, though. He hasn't seen Conan for almost a week, which means the people of Tokyo have had a pretty good week. The crime rate is unusually low. He just gave a summary report last weekend, and this month's crime rate is the lowest in ten years.

Seeing this table, he once again had the idea that strangling Conan would bring world peace. However, this idea was too cruel, so he could only think about it and forget about it. Who knows what the world would become if the protagonist were strangled? Maybe the Black Organization would take over.
