Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

……

Five minutes later, Qi Ming and Ai Haibara returned to the sofa in the lobby and sat down.

Five minutes ago, Ai Haibara was still a little sullen, but now her expression is unusually... guilty?

"I'm sorry, I just spoke a little too quickly."

"You're just giving me the runaround; you won't even call me 'brother'."

"……elder brother."

"It's okay. I forgive you."

The two were talking quietly, though it seemed they were somewhat contrary to the natural order.

The child whose power was cut off actually apologized to the culprit so honestly.

Simply put, Qi Ming, who received a good family education from a young age, knows all too well how to handle this situation.

The moment Ai Haibara vented her anger on him, Qi Ming immediately stood up.

"How dare you talk to me like that? I provide you with food and clothing, and all I did was cut off your electricity and you get angry with me?"

"Ancestors, I raised this girl with a spoon in my mouth and a bird in my mouth, and this child treats me like this, what a sin!"

"Boys are more obedient. Girls are useless when they grow up. All they do is argue with their elders. I... I might as well die!"

Ai Haibara was stunned.

Having received a Western education since childhood, Ai Haibara had never seen Qi Ming's unreasonable combo before, leaving her completely stunned.

However, even though she knew that Qi Ming was exaggerating, Ai Haibara still fell into a state of repentance.

Qi Ming is right.

He saved her sister and took care of her, providing her with food, clothing, and shelter. Yet she was upset because the power was cut off?

"sorry."

After a moment's thought, Ai Haibara immediately sent a private message to Marseille.

This is the epitome of a self-contained CPU.

Come back to the present moment.

"So why did you wake me up?"

Ai Haibara looked at the large pile of snacks Qi Ming had placed on the table and asked curiously.

"See a movie."

"what type is it?"

Qi Ming frowned, tilted his head back, pondered the name, and then answered.

"Judging from the title, it should be a horror or disaster movie."

"Hmm...right, what happened in the villa just now?"

Ai Haibara took the juice Qi Ming handed her and asked curiously.

"Don't even mention it, it's bad luck. A bunch of lunatics tried to mess with me, and I killed them."

Qi Ming answered casually, casting the video from his phone onto the TV.

A madman? Is he the one Inspector Megure mentioned last time about the desperate remnants?

Although Ai Haibara was still curious about what happened in the villa and the desperate remnants of the gang.

However, as the images on the television changed and a female reporter's voice, seemingly narrating, began to introduce the scene, Ai Haibara refrained from asking questions and looked at the television.

The movie begins, and the camera focuses on a boy typing on a keyboard in a villa.

[The prodigy Hiroki Sawada became a graduate student at MIT at the age of only 10...]

"Wow, so this is Sindora's godson."

Qi Ming stuffed a handful of popcorn into his mouth.

"A 10-year-old MIT graduate—that's an incredibly explosive concept, even in a wish-fulfillment novel."

"Hiroki Sawada..."

Ai Haibara's eyes were also focused on the television, and when she saw President Sindora's face, she couldn't help but be startled.

Isn't that the president of the company from the cocoon meeting the other day?

Is this really a movie or some kind of live-action documentary?

The movie continued playing, and as Hiroki Sawada jumped off the building, the scene changed, followed by a powerful background music suddenly playing.

[I'm Shinichi Kudo, a high school detective. I witnessed a transaction while at an amusement park with my childhood friend Ran Mouri.]

Then I was knocked unconscious, and when I opened my eyes again, my body had shrunk!

"..."

Upon seeing this, Ai Haibara suddenly sat up excitedly from the sofa.

Is this... is this a movie?

"What happened to him? What's wrong with him?"

"What are you doing, making such a fuss? I already said it's just a movie."

Qi Ming glared at Ai Haibara with annoyance.

After watching the beginning of the movie, Qi Ming understood pretty much everything.

This is... well, a game-movie tie-in, right?

However, it was Gin who knocked Shinichi Kudo unconscious.

Trying to steal credit, huh?

It's like your AI teammate is incredibly bad, but in the cutscene afterwards, he's still standing in the center position.

Adaptation is not random rewriting, and fictionalization is not nonsense.

As the movie continued, and the scene changed, Ai Haibara's figure appeared on the screen.

Besides the Doctor, there's one other person who knows my true identity: Ai Haibara.

She was originally a member of the Black Organization, but after her sister was murdered, she consumed the same poison as me in an attempt to escape the organization.

"How can it be?"

Seeing this, Ai Haibara really couldn't hold back anymore.

If this were a movie, she would eat the TV screen!

This is just reality, okay?!

Wait a minute, but her sister isn't dead, is she?

After the opening remarks, Ai Haibara looked at Qi Ming strangely:

"And you? Why didn't you appear in the movie?"

"Ok?"

Qi Ming stuffed another handful of popcorn into his mouth and rolled his eyes at Ai Haibara with annoyance.

"What are you thinking when you put players into movies like this?"

Ai Haibara frowned and refocused her eyes on the screen.

This is not as simple as it seems in the movie, Ai Haibara is certain of it.

So, can the content above be considered as an alternative life without Qi Ming?

The movie continued playing, but the content on the screen was completely different from the reality he had experienced.

Qi Ming wasn't in the movie; it seemed like I was adopted by Professor Agasa.

Despite the lack of organization involved, the Noah's Ark theme runs throughout the entire film.

Instead of participating in the murder game, they entered into the game of catching Jack the Ripper.

Entering 19th-century London, he outwits Moriarty and his men in their search for Sherlock Holmes, who can help them.

However, perhaps because her sister died in the film, she always had a sour face, and Ai Haibara felt inexplicably ashamed.

It's like when your singing is recorded in a karaoke bar and then played back by a friend in front of you—that kind of creepy feeling.

Later in the movie, when Ai Haibara sees herself in the film saving Conan Edogawa and saying that extremely embarrassing line...

She blushed and covered her face with her two small hands.

If we can't find someone to help me, then you are our Sherlock Holmes.

You absolutely cannot give up, Kudo!

Special appearance: Ai Haibara, deceased.

Watching herself on the screen turn into specks of light and disappear, Ai Haibara finally lowered her hand and touched her chest to dispel the shame in her heart.

This is not me, this is definitely not me.

Yes, it's just a movie. How could I possibly say something so cheesy?

"Why flirt if you're not going to marry me? Even between comrades in revolutionary friendship, you shouldn't cross such lines, you bastard."

Just then, Qi Ming's voice suddenly reached Ai Haibara's ears.

Ai Haibara turned her head to look, somewhat surprised.

Qi Ming frowned, his expression the same as usual, but for some reason Ai Haibara sensed that something was off about him.

And were those words directed at himself or at Shinichi Kudo?

"what did you just say?"

"...Huh? Did I just say something?"

Qi Ming snapped out of his daze and asked Ai Haibara, puzzled.

He didn't know why, but he felt a sense of familiarity with the movies he was watching.

dejavu?

Ai Haibara raised an eyebrow as she looked at Qi Ming, who had returned to "normal," a strange glint in her eyes.

Something seems wrong.

Why do I always feel like this guy is... jealous?
