The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

People are already like this now that cell phones aren't that attractive anymore. If smartphones start to spread in the future, they'll be like immortals!

"Hey, why are you back? Didn't you say you were going to stay in Osaka for a few more days?"

Ai's eyes were still sleepy, and her voice was no longer as clear and cold as before, but rather a little hoarse from just waking up, which sounded quite adorable.

It's a pity that this guy usually doesn't show much emotion. Unless he's a chatterbox or naturally outgoing, it's hard to spend a long time in the same room with someone with such a cold personality.

"I was called back by Boss Megure's relentless calls, but to make up for it, he gave me a few days off. So you're in for a treat today, you can enjoy a feast I've prepared."

"Ai, go wash up quickly, dinner will be ready soon. Come on, I'll take you there."

She had just woken up, her short, brown hair styled like instant noodles from sleep, but Kazama Kaoru was used to it. The best way to shatter the goddess image was to live with her.

Of course, not everyone will meet this requirement.

Mingmei, dressed in casual clothes and without makeup, possessed a natural, unadorned beauty that added to her charm.

After all, she's portrayed as a virtuous wife and loving mother, so it's only natural that she'd receive a boost in her own territory.

Following this line of reasoning, the most suitable place for Ai should be the laboratory.

A stoic, aloof queen in a white lab coat against a simple laboratory backdrop perfectly accentuates her aura.

It's a pity that he's just a little kid right now; his demeanor seems a bit precocious and out of place.

Akemi and Ai don't seem like sisters anymore; they're more like mother and daughter.

However, Ai's precocious nature made this feeling even less pronounced.

Kaoru Kazama continued to focus on cooking. He had been preparing the ingredients, having already asked Akemi and Ai beforehand, and they both claimed to have a good tolerance for spiciness.

However, it is highly questionable how good this actually is.

He had always been curious about how many people from the island nation, known for its light flavors, would be won over by Sichuan cuisine.

Sato Miwako counts as one, and Takagi barely counts as half, because he only gets to taste Kazama Kaoru's cooking occasionally.

The pot now looks bright red, because Kaoru Kazama deliberately chose to add the chili peppers and stir-fry them after both sisters had left the kitchen.

Otherwise, the pungent smell alone would have been enough to deter them from even trying it.

Chapter 168 The Price of Living with a Beautiful Woman

Unfortunately, things didn't go as Kaoru Kazama expected.

The two sisters, who were expected to be scorched by the spiciness, did not show any unusual reaction.

Akemi smiled gently, but her expression remained unchanged as she ate the Mapo Tofu spoonful by spoonful.

After Kazama Kaoru's meticulous analysis, she must genuinely be unafraid of spicy food.

As for Ai Haibara, who also remained expressionless, judging from her tightly pursed lips and clenched fists under the table, she was probably just putting on a brave face.

She's as arrogant as ever. Look at her, she'd rather die from the spiciness than drink another sip of water.

There was a glass of water on the right side of both sisters. At least Akemi drank some, but Ai didn't touch hers at all, her patience was off the charts.

"You can hold the water in your mouth; that will make you feel better."

"No need, this will help me wake up. It's much more effective than coffee."

Kaoru Kazama was speechless. It seemed this guy was using it to stay awake, which was much healthier than coffee.

After all, it's not good for children to consume too much caffeine, as it can easily cause side effects.

Youth knows no sorrow, old age brings insomnia that keeps you company in bed.

The kind of excruciating pain that makes you want to commit seppuku right now.

"I already discussed it with Mingmei. We're planning to go on a trip this week. What do you think?"

"Your boyfriend isn't me, so why are you asking for my opinion?"

"Since you're coming along too, we need to consider your opinion."

"Would you agree if I said I didn't want to go?"

"Won't."

"Then what's the point of referring to anything?"

Ai was speechless. Kaoru Kazama was trying his best to get her out of the kitchen. He had heard her while they were in the kitchen, but he just stayed hidden and didn't make a sound.

"You should know Professor Agasa quite well, right? This weekend is supposedly a camping trip, so you'll probably see some of your classmates. Be prepared."

Kazama Kaoru kindly reminded her that he always felt that whenever Ai and Conan encountered a trio of unruly children, they would inevitably end up as babysitters.

"What's there to be careful about? It's Edogawa who's giving those three a headache, I'm fine."

"So, those three are giving Conan a lot of trouble at school."

"It's not just at school. Judging from his appearance, it's likely that nothing good will come of him whenever he runs into those three, just like when your boss Megure runs into Kogoro Mouri."

"Things are different now. Detective Mouri, with his Conan processor, is really making the Metropolitan Police Department take notice."

"Actually, I've always been curious. My intuition tells me that the bumbling detective isn't as bumbling as he seems, and the great detective's childhood friend doesn't seem to know nothing either. Sometimes, the way he looks at Edogawa doesn't seem like he's looking at a child at all. Do you think it's possible that Edogawa inadvertently revealed his true identity?"

Kaoru Kazama was deeply moved as he watched Ai typing so earnestly.

It seems that gossip is a human instinct; no matter how aloof or cold a woman is, she will become a chatterbox when this topic comes up.

"Actually, Kogoro Mouri isn't as simple as he seems. This is just his disguise. Don't you think it's clever of him to do this? Anyone would lower their guard and become more cautious when they see his ghostly appearance. Movie spies do have that kind of potential."

"Forget it, I'm not a fan of spies. You should watch less 007 in the future, or you'll get brainwashed."

Ai was referring to Kaoru Kazama's obsessive pursuit of 007 movies lately. He had discovered something remarkably similar to his past life in the Conan world, so a momentary lapse in composure was understandable.

Although this 007 storyline and missions are completely different from his previous life, the familiar nickname still brought back memories of his past life that he had almost completely forgotten.

Unfortunately, it didn't evoke any memories of the Conan storyline for him, which is quite a pity.

"Okay, I understand. I was just observing and learning to improve my professional skills as soon as possible. That's why the leader sent me on a business trip to another city. This is my achievement."

"Alright, the bathwater is ready. Which of you two wants to go first?"

"Her first!"

The two spoke in unison, but pointed at each other.

They were all making excuses, but then Akemi simply picked up Ai and headed towards the bathroom, saying as she did so:

"You stayed up all night again last night, didn't you? Take a shower to relieve your fatigue before continuing to work, otherwise the smell of sweat will make you faint."

"There's no body odor at all, sister, don't talk nonsense."

Ai's short legs were kicking haphazardly, but there was still at least 0.5 meters to the ground, which was no less than an insurmountable chasm for her.

"Goodbye, go in peace, I will pray for you."

Kaoru Kazama couldn't stop chuckling to herself. It was rare to see the usually tsundere Ai Haibara so flustered; it was quite a sight to behold.

Ai Haibara, whose older sister is still alive, is much more lively and childlike than in the original work.

The key to a person's maturity lies in whether there is still someone willing to treat them like a child.

If you have it, you will remain innocent; if you don't, you will slowly grow up.

It's cruel, it's realistic, so please cherish those who treat you like a child.

Kaoru Kazama smiled slightly, feeling a sense of pride in Ai's vibrant personality.

Although I've forgotten most of the plot of Detective Conan, I still remember the characters very clearly.

Ai Haibara has always been the kind of person who is aloof, doesn't like to talk, and has a very negative outlook on life, the world, and values. You could even say she's a person full of negative energy.

But who could have imagined that when she escaped that dark and hopeless organization and was able to live in the sunlight with her only sister, Ai, who had been suppressing herself, would unleash her true nature and become so innocent and lively.

Sometimes, you're not mature; you just don't have someone who can tolerate your immaturity.

"Xiao Xun, you should take a shower later too, don't sneak away, okay? We're going camping tomorrow, so you need to wash up properly today."

"Okay, Akemi's mom."

Kaoru Kazama said helplessly, "Akami is getting more and more talkative, she's showing a tendency to evolve into Ran."

He and Ai are practically like Akemi's two children, each with more bad habits than the other. One loves staying up late, and the other is addicted to sleeping in. Every morning, getting up is a tug-of-war.

It would be strange if she didn't have a bad temper. No wonder Ran is so violent. She's been managing the household chores since she was seven, and her father is like that. If she weren't a bit violent, Kogoro Mouri would probably have been hospitalized with alcohol poisoning in the first month after her parents separated.

So, it's true that you can't mess with a woman who manages the household.

After reaching this conclusion, Kaoru Kazama quickly went back to her bedroom to change into a yukata.

He doesn't actually dislike taking showers; he's just not used to seeing his own body.

His original flat chest had grown larger and larger, as if it were undergoing a second growth spurt, and it even had a realistic feel to it, at least a 32B, according to an authoritative appraisal.

Meanwhile, the penis, a symbol of masculinity, is starting to shrink, which would be unacceptable to any normal man.

If the system expert hadn't told him that this was only temporary, since he was living with two girls, it would have been embarrassing if a strange bulge appeared while he was wearing loungewear or tight pants.

This shows how high the price one pays for living with a beautiful woman.

Chapter 169 Conan Research Report

"Professor Agasa, thank you so much."

"Haha, it's alright. It's more lively with more people. I should thank you all for keeping this old man company."

Professor Agasa is truly a wonderful neighbor. As soon as Kaoru Kazama mentioned wanting to go on a trip, Professor Agasa immediately invited him to go camping, generously saying that he only needed to bring people and that he didn't need to worry about anything else.

With a neighbor like this, what more could one ask for!

Anyway, he was satisfied. Although Professor Agasa wasn't very reliable except for the things he invented for Conan, his character was impeccable.

"Then Akemi, Ai, and I will head over first and wait for you at the camp."

Be careful on your way home.

The doctor's Beetle couldn't keep up with Kazama Kaoru's SUV, which is why they said they had to go ahead.

Within Tokyo, Kaoru Kazama is quite well-known.

However, since Kaoru Kazama came here to enjoy the scenery, he didn't drive very fast and instead drove slowly along the road.
