After saying that, Shimizu Reiko left. "Good girl, Asuka, I'll take you to eat some dried fish."

Yusuke Suzuki couldn't help but ask himself, why did I come back? Wouldn't it have been better to just stay at home? Now I've even dragged Asuka into this mess.

However, there's no need to worry about what Shimizu Reiko will do to Asuka. Moreover, judging from our interactions tonight, Shimizu Reiko seems to have really become a different person, and her behavior doesn't seem fake.

Or is it that Shimizu Reiko at this point in time wasn't a crazy woman to begin with? In the original story, she appeared much later in the plot.

Even so, there's no reason to keep clinging to him. Besides being a little handsome, a little rich, a little strong, and a little nice, he doesn't have any other redeeming qualities. Without those, what is he?

The next day, after his morning exercise, Yusuke Suzuki waited in the park. By 9 o'clock, Shimizu Reiko still hadn't arrived. Without her contact information, he had no choice but to go home, take a shower, and then drive away.

The doctor said he had already bought the ingredients, but he wanted to cook some new dishes today, so he bought some more on the way.

"Where are the birds?"

Ai Haibara opened the door and looked around but didn't see Asuka.

"It was taken away by someone else."

Yusuke Suzuki took the groceries out of the passenger seat. "A friend of mine should be bringing them back tonight."

I greeted Professor Agasa as I entered. The weather had suddenly turned cold again today, so a meal of mutton would be quite nice.

"Asuka didn't come," Professor Agasa said regretfully, looking at the few small toys and cat tree in the living room. "Yusuke, you can take it with you when you go back. This cat tree is very easy to assemble."

"Okay, thank you."

Yusuke Suzuki put the ingredients in the kitchen and thanked him.

"By the way, where's Conan?"

Ai Haibara is home today, which means school is on holiday again. Could she have gone out on a case with Kogoro Mouri? Why didn't she call him!

"He went out with Mr. Maori, saying he was going fishing."

Ai Haibara brought over a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Yusuke Suzuki, saying, "Yusuke-nii cares a lot about Conan."

...

This tone doesn't sound right.

Yusuke Suzuki said calmly, "I just wanted to show him the videos I filmed before to help him remember them. It's fine if he's not home."

video?

"May I take a look at it?"

Ai Haibara sat down next to Yusuke Suzuki, her big eyes fixed on him.

I'm sorry, Conan, I really can't refuse!

A dozen minutes later, Ai Haibara wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes. "Is there any more?"

"That's all. I'll show you the new ones when I get more. I'm going to prepare the ingredients now."

After Suzuki Yusuke left, Haibara Ai's emotions gradually calmed down.

Fortunately, Yusuke wasn't part of that organization, and these videos and photos weren't leaked. Otherwise, anyone in the organization who paid even a little attention might have recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who was marked as dead.

The famous detective really made a mistake.

With none of the Junior Detective League members around, Professor Agasa's house quickly became quiet and deserted. Ai Haibara would occasionally exchange a few words with Professor Agasa, while Yusuke Suzuki diligently cooked.

It does feel a bit like home.

"Yusuke, what did you do today?"

An hour later, Professor Agasa came over, drawn by the smell.

"Stewed mutton with white radish, stir-fried mutton with scallions, and some other dishes that I had made before. After the meal, we had British-style desserts."

Yusuke Suzuki put away the fire. "Could you please help me take the finished dishes out, Doctor?"

"This is really good." Professor Agasa picked up a piece of white radish and put it in his mouth, then burst into a Japanese hip-hop style after burning himself.

"Eat slowly," Haibara sighed, bringing Professor Agasa a glass of water.

"Doctor, you don't have to eat only vegetables. Eating some lamb is good for your health in this kind of weather. You can also have some dessert later. The main ingredient is rice."

After dinner, the three of them fell into boredom again. Suzuki Yusuke was bored, Professor Agasa was doing research, Ai Haibara was reading, and he could only sit there doing nothing.

Take out your phone.

"Teachers, where did you go?"

"Hey fishing, what do you want to say? I'm driving."

On the other end of the phone, Kogoro Mouri had his phone on his shoulder, held between his head and his hands, and was struggling against the road.

Conan in the back seat was like a ball, being bounced around.

After finding out the address, Yusuke Suzuki decided to go check it out. He was bored anyway, so why not jump on the bandwagon if there was a story to tell?

"Xiao Ai, do you want to go?"

He found Ai Haibara, grabbed her hand, and pulled her outside, saying, "Doctor, I'm taking Ai out to play!"

Three minutes later, in the car.

"Hey, I don't think I said I was going."

Ai Haibara crossed her arms and turned her head away from Yusuke Suzuki.

"Why stay at home all the time? What's wrong with going out and having some fun? Buckle up."

Could you please consider my thoughts?

Ai Haibara's tone wasn't cold, but Yusuke Suzuki was still stunned.

It seems a bit excessive to forcibly drag someone away, including the last time we went to Izu, when I threw Ai Haibara into the water despite her resistance.

“That’s not what I meant, I…” Ai Haibara turned her head when she saw that Yusuke Suzuki didn’t speak, and noticed that he looked a little disappointed. “I just… I’m sorry.”

“I’m the one who should apologize,” Yusuke Suzuki shook his head and chuckled. “Indeed, it was always my own idea that you should go out and play like other kids.”

"But Ai is Ai. You're not just anyone. How can I force you to define what kind of child you are?"

"Yusuke-nii..." Ai Haibara pursed her lips, but didn't know what to say.

"Alright, since Ai doesn't want to go, then we won't go." Suzuki Yusuke unbuckled his seatbelt. "Let's go back?"

"No...no, let's go, but next time you have to wait for my permission first."

"Yeah, I promise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the white Catera launched itself and sped off, while Suzuki Yusuke's seatbelt, which he had just unbuckled, was fastened again at some point.

Ai Haibara: "......"

Was that whole act just an act by this guy?

She looked at Suzuki Yusuke's profile, her gaze softening. Since they had already set off, they might as well go.

Chapter 53 Ai Haibara's Heartache

This time, Kogoro Mouri really chose a remote place. It wasn't far at all, but Yusuke Suzuki drove for almost three hours to get there.

The main problem is that I don't know the way and I can't run into anyone.

"Yusuke, why did you suddenly decide to come over?"

Kogoro Mouri was waiting for him at the door. When he saw Ai Haibara, he said with displeasure, "Why did you bring another brat with you?"

"Teacher, Ai is very well-behaved, unlike Conan."

Yusuke Suzuki stretched his body; the journey had taken a toll on him.

At this moment, Ran Mouri and Conan also appeared.

"Ai is here too." Ran Mouri was a little surprised. This little girl always seemed to deliberately keep her distance from her, and she didn't know why.

"Hey, why are you here?" Conan put his hands behind his head and moved closer to Ai Haibara.

"Can't I come?"

"Not really, it's just a bit strange."

"Oh dear, it seems I'm already considered a strange child in your eyes."

Ai Haibara glanced at Conan. "Yusuke insisted on bringing me out, so I had no choice."

After saying that, she moved closer to Suzuki Yusuke and tried to disappear.

"Huh? It's starting to rain..."

Ran Mouri looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky and said to the others, "Let's go inside quickly."

"So the garden restaurant that the owner is so proud of is not going to work out either," Kogoro Mouri complained.

Upon entering the resort, the owner, Akashi Yusaku, saw Suzuki Yusuke and asked, "Mr. Mori, are these two guests with you?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Your reserved room..."

"Are there no rooms available?" Yusuke Suzuki interrupted. "If there are, I'll book two rooms. They'll be fine as long as they're available."

“There are still rooms available, sir. Would you like to take a look at a room first?” Akashi Yusaku said with a smile. “However, you two siblings could actually share a room.”

Yusuke Suzuki chuckled, "No need, just open two rooms."

"Ai can live with me," Ran Mouri interjected at the opportune moment. "Conan can go live with Yusuke."

“I live with my older brother Yusuke.”

Ai Haibara, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

Yusuke Suzuki looked down and noticed that Ai Haibara's expression hadn't changed much, but Ran Mouri seemed a little disappointed. Could it be that Ai Haibara has already fallen for Conan?

That shouldn't be the case; I've intervened several times already.

Why hasn't her attitude towards Ran Mouri changed?

"Brother?" Ai Haibara noticed that Yusuke Suzuki was lost in thought again, and gently shook his arm.

"Never mind, I'll think about it later," Suzuki Yusuke said, looking at Akashi Yusaku. "Let's open one then."
