My two-dimensional resident
Page 186
Seeing the heartwarming scene, Lin Tian patted the two of them on the head, squatted down, and said to Binchotan.
“Brother, while you were away, Binchotan helped you manage the orchard with the help of Sister Euphemia, Sister Kocho Kanae, and Sister Kurihana Kanao. They have already collected a lot of apples, cherries, and pears.”
Because my brother isn't home, we can't enter your house, so we left the apples and cherries at your doorstep. As for the pears, we've planted them all as pear trees. Next time we plant 213 more, and we'll have 1000 pear trees in total.
Binchotan was overjoyed to see Lin Tian and Erza, but she didn't forget her duty. She spoke like an adult and reported her achievements to Lin Tian.
"Haha, thank you! Tan Tan, you've worked hard. By the way, who is this?"
After their long-awaited reunion, Lin Tian turned his gaze to Miyano Shiya, who was standing next to Euphemia. Looking at her distinctive features—her short, reddish-brown hair and her unusually calm expression—a name came to mind.
'Ai Haibara!'
How did she end up on the island?
As a die-hard anime enthusiast and a seasoned "Detective Conan scholar," Lin Tian could never mistake Ai Haibara from the series.
"Her name is Shiho Miyano. I just found her unconscious when Tantan and I were collecting fruit. I was thinking of taking her to stay at my house first. I didn't expect you to be back, Lin Tian, so I'll help her with the island entry procedures."
When Euphemia saw Lin Tian asking who the newcomer beside her was, she raised her slender arm, covered her red lips with her hand, chuckled, and explained the background of Shiho Miyano.
“Shiho Miyano... It’s getting worse. Hello, my name is Lin Tian, and I am the owner of this island. I’m glad you’ve come here to become my resident.”
Upon hearing Euphemia introduce Ai Haibara as Shiho Miyano, Lin Tian suddenly realized that Ai Haibara must have just taken the shrinking drug and arrived here before even meeting Conan.
Facing Ai Haibara, who had just lost her sister, Lin Tian sighed inwardly, put on a friendly face, came to her side, squatted down, and extended his right hand to greet her.
"Hello, you seem to know something about me."
Ai Haibara is an extremely intelligent genius. From the expression Lin Tian saw on her face and his exclamation, she, already wary of this unfamiliar world, deduced that Lin Tian, who called himself the island lord, must know her.
"Haha, as expected of the Black Organization's genius scientist, Ms. Sherry. You recognized me the moment we met. So, would you like me to spoil why you turned into a 7-year-old girl?"
When Lin Tian realized that Ai Haibara had discovered his knowledge of her, his long-dormant desire to spoil the plot reignited.
Chapter 326 Lin Tian, who is desperately short of money
The late spring breeze caressed Ai Haibara, and instead of feeling a slight chill, she felt a sudden chill run through her body when she heard that Lin Tian knew her identity and how she had become such a ghost. Lin Tian, with his smiling face, looked like a giant beast that would devour her.
"Lin Tian, are you bullying the newbie again?"
“Oh, Kikyo. I didn’t, it’s just that this Ms. Miyano Shiho seems quite wary of me. I want to ease the tension between us.”
"Difference? You seemed to explain it to me in the same way last time, but my sister Yin Liya didn't think so. She told me that after you revealed all her information, you became a devil in her eyes."
Kikyo, who happened to be walking out of the service hall, heard that Lin Tian was spoiling the little sister's story in the same way he had spoiled it for Yin Liya before. She immediately came to Lin Tian's side and said with a shy expression.
Ai Haibara, who was pondering how the island lord knew her identity, looked puzzled when she saw the girl named Kikyo stop Lin Tian's actions. It seemed that the relationship between the island lord and this girl was unusual.
"Okay, I was wrong. Kikyo."
Because of Kikyo's sudden appearance, Lin Tian's plan to spoil the plot was aborted. Feeling somewhat depressed, he couldn't argue with Kikyo, since such spoilers could indeed cause emotional harm to others.
“You…” Kikyo sighed, gently shaking her head, her long, dark, glossy hair fluttering in the breeze. She wasn't blaming Lin Tian for spoiling the plot; she was just worried that the new little sister wouldn't be able to handle all this information.
"Sister Kikyo, I miss you so much, Binchotan."
Binchotan didn't understand what Lin Tian wanted to do to the newcomer. She only saw that Kikyo, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, had also returned to the island. Excitedly, she ran to Kikyo and tightly protected her with both hands.
"Hmm... Charcoal, I miss you too."
Kikyo picked up Binchotan and affectionately kissed her chubby cheek.
Kikyo missed her very well-behaved and sensible little sister after not seeing Binchotan for so long since leaving the island.
"Shiho Miyano, welcome to my island. Now I'll take you to complete the entry procedures."
Lin Tian was interrupted by Kikyo's spoiler and wasn't in the mood to tell Ai Haibara about the Black Organization. He took advantage of Kikyo's moment to connect with Binchotan.
He then walked up to Ai Haibara, preparing to help her complete the procedures for entering the island.
"Hmm... Island Master Lin Tian."
Ai Haibara nodded. Actually, she was also curious about why Lin Tian knew so much about her. But she was a cautious person and hadn't yet trusted these people since arriving on the island.
Therefore, she didn't suggest that Lin Tian recount his past in front of so many strangers. The feeling of being stripped naked in public would make her feel extremely insecure.
"Oh? Just call me Lin Tian. I'm only 19 years old this year, so we're about the same age. Feel free to ask me any questions you have about the adorable Rabbit Island."
Lin Tian pushed open the door to the service hall and turned to Ai Haibara.
She was just an ordinary person, her understanding of Lu Lin's fantastical magical world limited to stories. Perhaps, for this 18-year-old genius scientist, she had never even read those books.
The adorable Rabbit Island is too mysterious. The island's inhabitants come from different worlds, each with its own unique power system.
Magic, chakra, spiritual power, and so on—these are all things that Ai Haibara has never encountered before.
In order to help Ai Haibara adapt to this place quickly, Lin Tian felt it was necessary to teach her about the multiverse.
"Hmm... what do I need to do to complete the entry procedures?"
Having just become a 7-year-old child, Ai Haibara had not yet adapted to her new body and was still in the mindset of an 18-year-old girl. After hearing Lin Tian say that he was only 19 years old, she stopped using honorifics when speaking to him.
"30 Bells, but you've only just arrived, so you don't need to pay immediately. You can pay me back once you've earned enough Bells on the island. You..."
"what!"
When Ai Haibara entered the office, she was surprised to find a pink Shih Tzu dressed in work clothes. Having never seen an animal behave like a human before, she gasped in surprise.
Her soft gasp interrupted Lin Tian's story. Lin Tian was a little confused, but then he followed her gaze and saw Isabella, who was sweeping the house with a broom. He immediately understood Ai Haibara's unusual reaction.
"This is Isabelle, my subordinate. She's in charge of the island's daily affairs. If you have any questions and can't find me, you can ask her. Isabelle, where's K?"
Lin Tian smiled slightly, pointed at Isabelle and explained to Ai Haibara, then turned to ask where Klein was.
"Island Master Lin Tian, Steward Ke is in the kitchen preparing dinner with Xiao Dou and Xiao Li. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Isabelle put down her work, her two large, bright eyes curving into crescent shapes as she smiled at Lin Tian.
"This is a new resident, Shiho Miyano. She needs to complete the entry procedures. Go and call Katsu out."
Hearing that Xiao Ke was preparing dinner with Xiao Dou and Xiao Li, Lin Tian nodded slightly and spoke.
"Okay, Island Master Lin Tian, Miss Shiho Miyano, please wait a moment."
Isabelle put the broom she was holding into her spatial backpack, nodded to Lin Tian and Ai Haibara, and then hopped and skipped towards the kitchen.
Where did the broom go?
The moment Isabelle put away her broom, Ai Haibara tensed up, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. But she didn't voice her question.
Everything on this island was beyond her comprehension, and she was extremely wary of the unknown.
"Shiho Miyano, my adorable island is full of magical rules. Some things have never appeared in your previous world. I hope you won't be surprised. You'll get used to it over time."
Lin Tian didn't know what Ai Haibara was thinking at the moment, but seeing that she looked a little unnatural, he kindly offered some words of comfort.
"Can you tell me how you knew about me?"
At this moment, only she and Lin Tian were in the room. Taking advantage of the fact that the so-called Steward K had not arrived, Ai Haibara couldn't help but ask Lin Tian why he knew so much about her.
“You are a very intelligent scientist. I don’t need to waste too many words explaining all this to you. Just think of your world and what’s happening to you as a book, and I happen to be reading this book.”
When Lin Tian heard Ai Haibara ask him about something he hadn't been able to spoil earlier, he explained.
"Oh, I see. Now, I'd like to ask, am I already dead?"
Ai Haibara quickly understood Lin Tian's explanation. She was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked what she most wanted to know.
"No, you just turned into a 7-year-old child after taking APTX4869." Lin Tian smiled and shook his head.
"It seems you know me quite well."
Upon hearing the name of the poison APTX4869, Ai Haibara frowned, then quickly relaxed. Her own story was a fictional setting, which she had accepted, but hadn't yet fully adapted to.
"No, no, no, I only know a little bit. Things like your measurements and weight. I don't know anything about them."
“Saying such things to a 7-year-old child is likely to be seen as perverted.”
Seeing that Lin Tian dared to tease her, Ai Haibara didn't back down and directly accused Lin Tian of being a pervert.
"Haha, just as I remembered, it's Shiho Miyano. But that name is too hard to pronounce, I still prefer to call you Ai Haibara."
Against the Gods
Lin Tian scratched his head, not angry at Ai Haibara's description of him as perverted. Instead, he directly revealed Shiho Miyano's future alias.
"Ai Haibara? Is that the disguised name I used for this body after I woke up?"
Ai Haibara, this unfamiliar name, has absolutely no connection to her real name, yet she feels a strange sense of familiarity in her heart at this moment.
This name sounds quite nice. It suits her current situation well.
"Lin Tianli, I heard from Xi Shihui that you were looking for me."
At this moment, Xiao Ke came out of the kitchen and, upon seeing Lin Tian, immediately wagged his little tail and came to Lin Tian.
"Hmm, another newcomer has arrived today and needs to complete the entry procedures. Here, this is 4 Bells."
Seeing Xiao Ke come out, Lin Tian didn't waste any time. He immediately took out 4 Bells and handed them to Xiao Ke. Then he explained.
"Hmm... okay. Ai Haibara, please stand still, I'm going to take a picture of your ID."
After putting away the 4 Bells, Katsuki grinned and said to Ai Haibara.
......
"Where are Reigen Arataka and the Kanae sisters?"
Watching Erza and Binchotan lead Ai Haibara to find her residence and disappear into the flower-lined path, Lin Tian took the cola Kikyo handed him and said with a puzzled look.
"The Kanae sisters went home, saying they'd come back after dinner. Reigen said he went to look for you. Didn't you run into them?"
Kikyo placed the milk tea on the table and smiled at Lin Tianyan.
"No, then I'll have to ask him for the gold after we finish eating. I'm a bit short on money lately, so I need to collect his remaining payment as soon as possible. Sigh~ Kikyo, I'm a penniless pauper now."
Lin Tian took a big gulp of cola, then let out a satisfying burp, marveling at how difficult it was to make money on this adorable island.
Last time, I pocketed 500 million Bells from the Inuyasha world, and it's all gone in less than a month. But the public buildings on the island are only half-built, and a lot more Bells are still needed.
Thinking that he only had 3 Bells left, Lin Tian sighed and hoped that Reigen Arataka would settle his remaining payment.
"Oh my god, I have some bad news for you. Don't be too angry."
Upon hearing Lin Tian's worries about lacking money, Kikyo's expression changed slightly, and she finally couldn't help but want to tell him the truth.
