Then, Qi Ming held Ai Haibara tightly and wouldn't let go, watching TV and humming a song to himself.

"I was supposed to play along with your act, but I ignored it all, hmph~"

Ai Haibara, on the other hand, experienced what it means to feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Moreover, the song Qi Ming was humming seemed to have a hidden meaning...

He must have discovered it.

I just don't know why they're deliberately accommodating me now.

But based on what he knew about Qi Ming, this guy should have already taken him back to the organization to collect his reward.

Or, in his delusion, the condition for triggering the reward is that he must reveal his identity himself.

Feeling somewhat puzzled by Qi Ming's current state, Ai Haibara sat blankly on Qi Ming's lap.

Her little face was tinged with a blush, but she didn't struggle.

But what did Qi Ming mean by magic just now?

Qi Ming seemed unaware of the A drug, only believing that he was a magician, which was why he was able to escape.

Ai Haibara felt she had found the truth and mentally cursed the magician Qi Ming had just mentioned a hundred times.

The magician who made Qi Ming even more abnormal probably isn't thinking straight!

Ai Haibara glanced at Qi Ming out of the corner of her eye.

But Qi Ming should also be a magician, so why didn't he ever doubt himself before?

I must ask Qi Ming to take me to meet that magician next time I have the chance, so I can have a proper chat with her!

Oh, and Shinichi Kudo too, we must also try to find out what that guy said to Qi Ming!

"By the way, brother, New Year's Day is in a few days. Do you want to go see the Emperor's Cup together?"

Ai Haibara stayed in Qi Ming's arms, and because she was afraid that Qi Ming would test her again, she immediately said something.

"Emperor's Cup?"

Qi Ming was taken aback.

"What Emperor's Cup? Whoever wins becomes Emperor? Can I even participate? If I were to become Emperor, I would immediately defect to China and become a province."

"Wait a minute, what did you just say? New Year's Day?"

Qi Ming suddenly realized the first half of Ai Haibara's sentence and quickly asked.

"Yes, New Year's Day is just a few days away."

Looking at Qi Ming's expression, Ai Haibara sighed with a sense of empathy.

After all, people in that organization don't celebrate holidays and don't feel any warmth.

"And brother, the Emperor's Cup is actually a football match."

Football match?

Qi Ming became slightly interested.

"Sure, let's go have some fun."

Qi Ming really wanted to play.

However, his approach to playing might be different from that of someone who plays with the goal of watching a game.

……

"System, what about the reward?"

【What reward? 】

"Did your teacher teach you to answer questions with questions? It's the New Year's Day event! Hurry up and release the rewards and in-game purchase packs!"

Fortunately, Ai Haibara reminded him, and Qi Ming almost forgot that there was such a festival setting here.

This waste management system has so many things stitched together; it's impossible for such an activity to come in without stitching things in.

I've missed out on so many perks in the past; the system definitely deducted them from my payouts!

[Host, this is a single-player game, but we don't celebrate real-world holidays.]

"But this isn't a real-world holiday, it's a game holiday!"

【Hmm...that's true...Thank you for your continued support of this game. Rewards have been issued: 3 lottery tickets and 3 pre-made crispy chickens】

"...boil it!"

……

Time passed slowly, and Ai Haibara breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qi Ming put her down and go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

But before she could even feel at ease, Qi Ming suddenly poked his head out of the kitchen and said:

"By the way, Shiho Haibara, why don't you call your sister to let her know you're safe?"

At this point, Qi Ming suddenly paused and tapped his head.

“Hey, what are you saying? You’re not Shiho Miyano.”

Then Qi Ming pulled his head back in and closed the kitchen door again.

"..."

Ai Haibara genuinely felt that today had been far too torturous.

The two, each harboring their own secrets, tested each other, exhausting each other, and neither ever attempted genuine communication.

Perhaps Qi Ming was sincere, but Ai Haibara still had some reservations.

However, Qi Ming is not tired at all, and even enjoys it.

The only one who got tired was the young girl.

Ai Haibara glanced at Qi Ming's phone on the table, hesitated for a moment, then picked it up and found Akemi Miyano's number.

Having memorized the number, Ai Haibara still planned to call it using her own phone when she had time.

She still has a chance.

Although Qi Ming is now certain that she is Shiho Miyano, she only needs to create some opportunities—

That would be to make Shiho Miyano's voice appear elsewhere, while he himself appeared in front of Qi Ming, which would dispel his doubts!

She could easily create a simple voice changer software using her computer skills.

Of course, the most important thing is that magician. I must ask Qi Ming to take me to meet him another day!

At this time.

Qi Ming's phone suddenly received a text message.

Ai Haibara picked it up curiously and looked at it, her pupils suddenly contracting.

The sender was... Bourbon.

Are they from the organization? I've never heard of that code name before.

"Brother, someone is looking for you."

A little while later, Ai Haibara saw Qi Ming come out of the kitchen and reminded him.

"Who?"

Qi Ming curiously picked up the phone and checked the text messages.

[Would it be possible to meet now? A generous reward will be offered. (Address) — Bourbon]

Why is this dark-skinned guy coming to find me so late at night instead of enjoying his nightlife?

Qi Ming thought for a moment, and then gave a reply.

【good】

"Ai, I'm going out for a bit. I have some work to do."

Qi Ming quickly changed his clothes, glanced at Ai Haibara, then bowed with a smile and pointed to his face.

"Ok?"

"Give me a kiss."

Ai Haibara's face instantly turned red.

"This this……"

As the little girl looked on in confusion, a flash of blue light appeared in Qi Ming's eyes, and the TV instantly switched to a certain drama series.

My brother is going out to work now. Be good at home from now on, and don't open the door to strangers.

[Okay, brother, kiss!]

【Oh dear, good boy, let's go, brother is off now】

Ai Haibara blushed instantly as she listened to the voices from the TV drama playing in her ear.

"Ai, look, that's how other kids do it."

Qi Ming whispered in Ai Haibara's ear, sounding just like an uncle trying to lure a little girl with a lollipop.

Ai Haibara was almost ready to give up thinking.

What exactly is this person trying to do?!

"Hmm~ Ai, you don't think that these childish actions are really in line with your character, do you?"

Qi Ming continued, his tone tinged with doubt.

Ai Haibara finally couldn't hold back anymore.

With a blush on her face, she closed her eyes and gave Qi Ming a light peck on the cheek before hurriedly running back to her room.

Qi Ming watched Ai Haibara's fleeing figure and touched his slightly warm cheek.

This is way more fun than regular raising games!

"Ai-chan, your brother's gone. The food is ready in the kitchen, remember to eat! I'll be back as soon as possible."

This is a lie.

The food in the kitchen wasn't made by him at all.

It is a pre-cooked dish that can be heated and eaten immediately.

However, the system's output is certainly not some high-tech or fancy stuff, but rather something clean and hygienic.

Qi Ming opened the door and left, choosing not to teleport but instead riding a broom.

Although from his perspective he was still driving like he was riding a motorcycle, at least in the NPC's eyes he was still flying in the sky on a broomstick.

This is enough to create an urban legend.
