Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Kazuha closed her eyes and stood on tiptoe, Maori leaned over and their lips touched gently.

As the whistle of the Shinkansen sounded, He Ye reluctantly let go of Mao Li, and the tears in her eyes almost burst out again.

She tried to force a smile and waved: "Uncle Maori, goodbye... I'll be waiting for you to come find me."

Maori nodded gently: "I will definitely go."

With full of anticipation and reluctance, He Ye turned around and boarded the Shinkansen.

Chapter 344: Conan, don’t try to skip school!

The train drove smoothly out of the station, and the city scenery outside the window kept receding, like a gradually disappearing painting.

The sunlight shone through the car window onto He Ye's profile. She held her chin with one hand, watching the scenery passing by outside the window, feeling complicated and a little lost.

She sighed silently, the sweet memory of Maori's gentle voice, warm touch, and quiet kiss coming to her mind.

These precious moments made her heart feel like a deer running around, full of anticipation, but also accompanied by the melancholy of a temporary separation.

Just then, a familiar face came over.

"Heye, what's wrong with you?"

Hattori Heiji asked in a low voice with his usual concern, "Are you in a bad mood? Is there something bothering you?"

Normally, He Ye would always accept his comfort half-jokingly, but this time, her face suddenly turned cold.

Kazuha withdrew her gaze from the window and looked at him coldly with her head tilted to the side. Her usual energetic smile completely disappeared, leaving only indifference and alienation: "Hattori-san, from now on, we are just friends. Please don't cross the line again."

Hattori Heiji was stunned, as if he could not understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment.

The usual playfulness and laughter seemed to be cut off by this moment of indifference. He opened his mouth in astonishment and asked after a long pause: "What are you talking about? Haven't we always been friends?"

He Ye ignored him. She turned her head slightly and looked out the window again with a firm and determined expression.

At that moment, she swore to herself in her heart: From now on, she would belong to Uncle Maori, and she would never let any man touch her except him.

Hattori Hiraoki wanted to ask his father something, but Kazuha had completely given up and closed the door on his heart, and did not give him any response.

……

As the train swayed slightly, He Ye's thoughts gradually drifted towards the future - she fantasized about moving into Uncle Mori's office after being admitted to university in Tokyo.

Every morning, Maoli would come out of the room, rubbing his sleepy hair, while she would wear an apron and prepare breakfast for him.

"Uncle Maori, it's time to eat!" She would shout happily, and then Maori would show his warm smile, touch her head and say, "What a capable girl."

In the evenings, when work at the office was done, she and Maori would watch TV together in the living room.

She would nestle in his arms, feeling his body temperature, his big hands gently hugging her, making her feel extremely at ease...

She even fantasized that one night, Mao Li would hold her gently in his arms and whisper in her ear: "He Ye, let's stay together forever, okay?"

The voice was as sweet as honey, and she seemed to be able to feel the happiness that touched her heart.

Thinking of this, He Ye's mouth corners slightly raised, and her cheeks quietly blushed. She was completely immersed in her own fantasy, her heart full of longing and sweetness for the future.

……

Hattori Heiji sat aside, looking at Kazuha with confusion. Her expression kept changing, sometimes shy, sometimes sweet, as if she was trapped in a world that only she understood.

Why does He Ye, who is usually so lively and cheerful, seem like a different person today?

"He Ye, what's wrong with you?" Hattori couldn't help but ask again.

But He Ye still didn't answer. She just looked out the window with a sweet smile on her lips, as if she couldn't hear what he said at all.

Hattori scratched his head, puzzled. For the first time in his life, he felt that he really couldn't understand this childhood sweetheart in front of him.

But Kazuha's heart is no longer the girl who accompanied Hattori Heiji in playing around.

Her gaze was already cast into the distance, towards Tokyo, towards the man she truly wanted to wait for - Kogoro Mori.

The carriage was completely quiet, with only the roar of the train moving forward.

He Ye closed his eyes gently, and the smile on his lips deepened.

Uncle Maori, I will definitely come back to you. Wait for me...

……

The Shinkansen gradually moved away on the track, accompanied by the roar of the train and the figure of Toyama Kazuha waving goodbye gradually becoming blurred. Mouri Kogoro, Ran and Conan stood on the platform, watching the carriage completely disappear on the distant horizon.

Maori took out a cigarette and lit it, but under Xiaolan's displeased look, he had no choice but to put it back into his pocket.

He stroked his chin, as if he suddenly remembered something: "It's about time to send this kid back to Teitan Elementary School."

When Conan heard this, his heart sank, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his whole face fell.

Going to elementary school - the word was a nightmare to him.

He, a high school detective named Kudo Shinichi, has been attending classes among a group of elementary school students. It is really torturous!

Conan quickly put on a flattering smile, tugged at the corner of Maori's clothes, and whispered secretly: "Um, Uncle Maori, why don't you send me to school today? You also know that I am a high school student, please, just this once, give me a day off, okay?"

Maori looked at Conan's watery eyes that flashed with desire and couldn't help laughing. Then he said loudly: "Oh? Why are you begging me? It's okay not to go to school. I don't have the final say."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaolan's brows were already furrowed. She put her hands on her waist and looked serious: "Conan, don't even think about skipping school! No matter what, elementary school students should go to school and attend classes!"

Conan's mouth twitched, and he was cursing in his heart. But facing the serious Xiaolan, he could only scratch his head awkwardly: "Ah... okay..."

But he had no intention of giving in just like that.

His eyes rolled and he immediately came up with an idea: "By the way, Ai hasn't been to school recently!"

"Ok?"

Xiaolan smiled and was startled, frowning even more tightly, and turned her head to look at Mao Wuli Xiaowulang: "Hey, Dad, didn't Ai-chan go to school either?"

Mao Li smiled and looked unconcerned: "Oh, it's okay, I'll go find her. Lan, you take this brat to school first, I'll be there soon!"

"Okay, hurry up then."

Xiaolan nodded, but her face remained serious. She leaned down, grabbed Conan's collar, and lifted him up from the ground like a kitten.

"Let's go, Conan, don't even think about running away!"

Conan struggled a few times, but he could not escape Xiaolan's iron fist.

Just like that, he was dragged away by Xiaolan with a gloomy face.

Conan was dragged behind Xiaolan, wailing in his heart: "Why am I so miserable... I'm a high school student, but I have to be dragged to elementary school every day..."

He originally thought that mentioning Haibara Ai would give him some breathing time, but he didn't expect Uncle Maori to directly pass the blame and let Xiaolan take him to school.

Conan thought of Haibara Ai's always cold face.

Ai! Please develop an antidote for APTX! I can’t stand it anymore!

Chapter 345: Debut

Mao Li gently pushed open the door of the laboratory and what came into view was a messy scene.

Under the dim light, the desk was piled with various experimental equipment, folders and empty takeout boxes.

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, mixed with a greasy smell that made people feel depressed.

The curtains in the room were tightly drawn, not letting in any natural light.

Maori frowned, walked into the laboratory, and looked around for Haibara Ai.

Sure enough, she was still buried in front of the computer, her body leaning forward slightly, her fingers tapping the keyboard rapidly.

She seemed extremely focused and didn't notice Maori's arrival at all. The light from the lab table made her slender figure look even thinner.

Maori looked at her with pity - a little girl, buried in such an experimental environment all day long, with day and night reversed, with no breath of life at all.

He walked forward, stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Huibara Ai's shoulder.

"Ai-chan, it's time to rest."

Maori's voice was low and gentle.

Haibara Ai was startled by the sudden touch, and raised her head with a dazed look in her eyes.

Her face was pale and a little tired, as if she had forgotten the alternation of day and night.

Seeing that it was Maoli, she blinked slightly and asked in a daze, "Uncle Maoli? Why are you here?"

"Come to you."

Maori replied softly, his eyes scanning her tired little face, his worry becoming more and more obvious. "How long have you been working here alone? The curtains are not even opened, and there is not even a ray of sunlight in the room."

Huiyuan Ai looked back at the room full of experimental equipment and said calmly: "There are still many things to be done, I can't stop."

Her voice was still calm, but she couldn't hide her exhaustion.

Maori sighed softly, leaned down and picked her up, holding her thin body steadily in his arms.

Haibara Ai was stunned by this sudden movement and struggled subconsciously, but Maori was very strong and she couldn't break free.

"Uncle Maori, I still have to continue working... the experiment is not yet complete..."

There was a hint of urgency in her voice, but at the same time, it seemed very powerless, as if she was completely unaware of the condition of her body.

Mao Li shook his head, his tone firm but gentle: "No, you can't go on like this. You are alone in the laboratory, buried in experiments, eating takeout, sleeping, if you continue, your body will not be able to bear it."

"But……"

Haibara Ai retorted in a low voice, but seemed powerless.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Mao Li said without question, "I will find someone to help you. You don't need to complete the experiment alone. You need to rest now and go to school to interact with other children."

When she heard the word "school", Haibara Ai's body stiffened slightly.

Her eyelids drooped, and her long lashes cast a tiny shadow under her eyes.

Huihara Ai was silent for a moment, and whispered: "School... do I really need it?"

"Of course you do."

Maori's tone was still gentle, but it was filled with unquestionable determination. "Ai-chan, you can't lock yourself up here. Like I said, if you keep going like this, you'll be no different from when you were in the Black Organization. You need to get in touch with the outside world and experience normal life."

Huiyuan Ai's heart trembled slightly. Those dark and closed days flashed through her mind, and the feeling of powerlessness of being isolated and controlled surged into her heart again.

She looked at Maori, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

Maori noticed her change in mood and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

He patted her back gently, as if to comfort her, and as if to tell her that he would always be by her side.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Maori said, his tone soft.

Haibara Ai finally stopped struggling and let Maori carry her out of the laboratory.

As the two walked out of the laboratory door, bright sunlight instantly poured in, enveloping their figures.

Haibara Ai squinted her eyes due to the sudden light and subconsciously buried her face in Maori's chest to avoid the long-lost light.

"Is it bright outside?"

Mao Li lowered his head and asked softly, with a hint of teasing in his voice.

Huiyuan Ai snorted gloomily: "It's too bright and annoying."

Although her words were cold, there was a hint of warmth in her tone, even like she was being coquettish.

Maori smiled and said nothing more. He just held her and walked forward. The sunlight shone through the leaves under their feet, casting mottled shadows, warm and soft.

When they walked out of the laboratory, Maori stopped and put Haibara Ai on the ground.

Her feet had just landed on the ground and she hadn't yet fully adjusted to the relaxed feeling, so her steps were slightly unsteady.

Mao Li stood in front of her, leaned down and gently held her shoulders: "I will find someone to help you with the experiment, you don't have to bear so much alone. You need time to rest and get in touch with the outside world."

Haibara Ai raised her head with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

She stood on tiptoe, raised her head slightly, pulled Maoli down, and gently kissed him on the mouth.

Mao Li was slightly stunned, but soon revealed a gentle smile.

He didn't say anything, just patted her hair gently.

"Thank you……"
