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

Moreover, how should I put it, Ai Haibara even felt a long-lost older sister feeling from Ran Mouri.

Of course, this refers to my older sister before she went to China.

Normally, Ai Haibara's little brain would probably immediately figure out what Qi Ming had said to Ran Mouri, giving her a bunch of weird and wonderful personas, which is why Ran Mouri is treating her this way now.

However, the current situation is special, and Ai Haibara could only think of one thing.

Is Qi Ming currently portrayed as her brother?

If I now feel that Ran Mouri looks somewhat like my older sister, doesn't that mean...?

Ran Mouri wants to be my sister-in-law?!

……

The day slowly passed.

Mihua Town, Qi Ming's home.

"Alan, would you like me to give you a ride?"

After finishing dinner, Ran Mouri walked out of the villa. When Qi Ming offered to take her home, Ran Mouri smiled and politely declined.

"Mr. Qi Ming, you don't need to trouble yourself. I can go back by myself."

After speaking, she turned to face Ai Haibara, who had been standing expressionless to the side, and a warm smile bloomed on her face as she softly said:

"Well then, Ai, I'll be going now. See you next time!"

Hearing Ran Mouri's farewell, Ai Haibara was seething with resentment, but she managed to force out two words:

"……goodbye!"

Hmph, who wants to see you again? It's best if we never see each other again!

As the villa door closed, Ai Haibara's gaze immediately shifted to Qi Ming, who was standing in front of the living room television picking his teeth.

"You know what, Alan's cooking skills are actually pretty good, just a little worse than yours."

"Oh, Alan, how intimately you call me."

Ai Haibara spoke with a slightly sarcastic tone, deliberately stomping her feet heavily as she walked straight to the sofa and sat down.

She raised her small head, hugged her shoulders tightly, and crossed her legs, looking every bit like a villa owner.

"My dear brother, tell me properly, what exactly did you two talk about at the coffee shop today?"

"Could it be that you actually found me a sister-in-law who's younger than me?"

Ai Haibara is almost completely certain.

These two people have a problem, definitely a problem!

Otherwise, there's absolutely no way to explain why Ran Mouri stared at him with loving eyes all day long!

Ai Haibara understands now, she understands completely.

After all, this is a game, so you can do whatever you want.

This guy probably visited all the red-light districts in Japan before he met me.

Men, you know, they're all like the stereotypical small-headed son and the big-headed father—she understands.

[Ai Haibara: Rationality is absolutely amazing, it's evaporating!]

Upon hearing Ai Haibara's rather sarcastic words, Qi Ming couldn't help but turn his head away.

After staring at Ai Haibara for a while, he pointed to her short legs.

"Don't sit like that, or your butt will become uneven when you grow up."

"..."

Ai Haibara's body trembled violently. She tried her best to maintain the tense expression on her face, and then silently lowered her legs.

Don't try that, don't try to change the subject.

Qi Ming tossed the toothpick into the trash can and casually sat down on the sofa next to Ai Haibara.

"It's nothing major, Ran Mouri just wants to talk about you."

Ai Haibara, who had been keeping a straight face, frowned deeply and moved a seat to the side, creating a little distance between herself and Qi Ming.

"Talking about my business?"

Qi Ming moved to a different spot after Ai Haibara.

"Yes, Ran Mouri came to me today to ask if you, like Conan, can turn back into a child from an adult."

Ai Haibara's previously tense expression showed a slight change.

A hint of doubt flickered in her eyes, and she shifted her body slightly to the side.

Why would she have such an idea?

Qi Ming leaned closer again.

"It's all because of that photo of you from ten years later. You and your sister in it look like you were made from the same mold. Ran Mouri has seen it, so she came to me to ask about it."

Hearing this, Ai Haibara temporarily set aside the meaning of Qi Ming's first sentence and continued to ask:

"...So, this is all you've discussed today?"

Qi Ming spread his hands innocently and replied, "Otherwise what?"

After listening to Qi Ming's explanation, Ai Haibara blinked her eyes in a daze.

Could my reasoning be wrong?

No, no, no, that's impossible. Ran Mouri has been acting strangely today. It's obvious that the two of them talked about men and women!

"That can't be right. You two must have talked about other things, otherwise why would she seem to be acting so strangely towards me today?"

Qi Ming remained silent for a while before speaking to Ai Haibara:

“I told you you’re a crazy woman’s sister, you have psychological problems.”

"……what?"

Ai Haibara turned her head, her tone carrying a hint of doubt and questioning:

"That's it? Is that really all you've done? You really haven't discussed anything about relationships between men and women?"

Ai Haibara no longer cares about Qi Ming's slander.

Qi Ming frowned upon hearing Ai Haibara's words and asked in return:

Why should I talk about topics related to men and women?

Carefully observing Qi Ming's expression, Ai Haibara did not give up.

"Then why did you hold Ran Mouri's hand? And why didn't she reject you?"

Ai-chan's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Immediately afterwards, as if remembering something, Ai Haibara said again:

"And you've even called her Alan! What does it mean to call her so intimately!"

"...6."

Qi Ming watched Ai Haibara's expression with great interest.

Suddenly, I feel like Ai Haibara is like a woman.

Oh, no, this was originally a woman.

How should I put it... a touch of femininity?

Qi Ming said no more and took out his phone to play today's video replay.

"..."

As time passed, Ai Haibara's tense expression gradually relaxed.

After a long while, she slowly lowered her head and handed the phone to Qi Ming.

Her face flushed red, and her legs moved back and forth unconsciously, unsure of where to put them.

[Ai Haibara: Reason has returned]
