Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

"Haibara Ai, little Ai? I always feel that this is a very sad name."

Listening to Xiaoai's words and looking at her lowered eyes, Xiaolan's expression became even gentler.

At this time, Conan no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to seek death, but just looked at Ai with mixed feelings.

Although Akemi was rescued by herself, neither Gin, who was on the mission, nor her sister Shiho knew this fact.

Now Ai should be thinking that she is the only one left in the world, just like in the original novel.

"Don't worry, Ai. Although your sister has passed away, don't be sad. You won't be alone anymore! I will be by your side, and so will Conan, right?"

Xiaolan looked at the somewhat sad Xiaoai and said gently.

"Yeah! Of course! I'll always be by Ai's side too! I promise!"

At this time, Conan also retracted his previous smile and spoke to Xiao Ai with a serious face.

He swore that he would definitely protect Xiao Ai and her sister Ming Mei under the threat of the organization! This was his promise to the two sisters.

"cut."

Looking at this scene, Mao Li snorted in disdain, but he still put down the newspaper in his hand, walked over, lowered his head, looked at Xiao Ai's face, and said very seriously:

"No matter what you've been through, since you chose to stay and since I recognize you, you are my family!

I won't let my family get hurt. This is my promise to you and my family. So, live well and happily here!"

After saying that, Maori returned to his throne without even looking back and continued to flip through the newspaper that he had never finished reading.

Hattori looked at the family's sudden change of attitude and felt a little embarrassed. The atmosphere had become so tense, shouldn't he say something?

"Thank you."

Feeling the warmth from the three people, Xiao Ai whispered. However, her voice was so soft that no one except Conan beside her could hear it.

Conan smiled gently when he heard her words. It seemed that he had to find a way to let the two sisters recognize each other as soon as possible.

"So, how many times do I have to knock before you open the door? How long are you planning to leave our guests waiting at the door?!"

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly rang out at the door. Then, an old woman pushed the door open and walked in, cursing.

"I have an urgent matter and need your help to investigate it immediately."

Seeing that there were guests coming, Conan tactfully carried Ai on his back and walked to the side.

"Put me down!"

Xiao Ai blushed and whispered. Although Conan felt safe on his back, when he carried her on his back, she always remembered that he had wiped her body.

"You don't have any shoes on!"

Conan retorted confidently. That's right, because he was the one carrying Ai down, his fair feet were exposed to the air.

"Who is to blame for this?"

Ai blushed and said to Conan angrily, "If Conan hadn't carried her down directly, would she have been barefoot?"

Seeing that Ai was a little angry, Conan didn't say anything else. He just said something simple to Xiaolan, then carried her upstairs and changed her shoes.

Xiao Ai stood on the ground, looking at the skirt she was wearing, her face flushed. This was the first time she had worn a skirt in her life.

When she was in the organization, she always wore a white coat for convenience. When she was studying abroad or when she was a child, she never wore a skirt because she always stayed in the organization's impersonal place.

As time went by, she always felt a little uncomfortable when she wore a skirt for the first time.

Looking at Ai in a dress, Conan's eyes lit up. While Ai was not paying attention, he took out his mobile phone, took a photo, and sent it to Mingmei.

Not long after, Mingmei called directly.

Seeing his phone ringing, Conan smiled and greeted Ai:

"Xiao Ai, you go down first. My friend is calling. I'll go down as soon as I finish the call."

Xiao Ai didn't ask any further questions, just nodded and walked towards the second floor of the office.

Watching Xiao Ai disappear at the end of the stairs, Conan quickly picked up the phone. Mingmei's voice instantly rang out on the other end of the phone:

"Conan! That photo, is that Shiho? It must be Shiho! Did she take that medicine too? Why did she become smaller? When will you bring her here? I haven't seen Shiho like this in a long time!"

"Sister Mingmei, don't be so anxious!"

Listening to Mingmei's barrage of questions on the other end of the phone, Conan whispered:

"First of all, her current name is Xiao Ai, Huiyuan Ai. This is the name she gave herself.

As for her current condition, it should be the same as mine, caused by taking that medicine.

However, I haven't revealed my true identity to her yet, so it may take some time to bring her there. But don't worry, I will definitely find a way to bring her to see you!"

"Is that so? All right then! I'll wait for your news."

Mingmei sounded a little lost on the other end of the phone, but when she thought about meeting Shiho, especially little Shiho, and helping Shiho recall her childhood, a bright smile instantly filled her face again.

Hearing the same tone that Akemi used when her mother tricked her into being a doll, Conan couldn't help but pray for Ai in his heart, hoping that Ai would be able to hold on in her sister's hands.

After hanging up the phone, Conan walked downstairs and bumped into Ai who was about to come up. Conan was a little flustered because he was worried that she might hear something:

"Um, Xiao Ai, what are you doing here?"

Although she didn't know why he was so panicked, Xiao Ai wasn't very interested in a child's secret, so she didn't get to the bottom of it. She just said calmly:

"Uncle Maori and his team are planning to visit the client's home. So they asked me to come and call you."

From Ai's tone, Conan felt relieved to hear that she didn't seem to have heard what he had just said.

"Okay, thanks Ai, let's go."

After saying that, Conan quickly stepped past Ai and walked downstairs.

Looking at Conan's leaving back, Xiao Ai suddenly had a very strange feeling. She always felt that the content of Conan's phone call just now seemed to be related to herself?

"I must be overthinking it! This is the first time we've met. Who can he possibly talk to about my existence?"

Besides, even if they talked about it, it shouldn't be a big deal! She's just a little kid, she's probably just showing off to her friends that she has a new sister!

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai stopped daydreaming and followed Conan downstairs.
