Model worker and his little darling

"Miss Sherry, APTX-4869 brought you back to your childhood. What are your thoughts?"

Haibara took a deep breath before speaking softly, "Small size isn't a good thing either, and the mortality rate is too high."

So much time has passed, and we still don't know how many people have died from this drug.

Her unexpected encounter with Shinichi Kudo was perhaps a stroke of luck.

"Where's the antidote?"

"Each time I have to endure the pain of my heart bursting, and even with the addition of strong liquor, the recovery time is still unstable."

Ignoring Haibara's tone, Shuji Ito continued, "So, do you think this drug is related to family genes?"

Family genes?

Haibara was stunned. She only had one older sister. So, her sister had also shrunk like her?!

"My sister too..."

Shuji Ito nodded.

She had considered this possibility before, but she never expected it to be true. Struggling to suppress her emotions, she finally learned the definite news about her sister.

So it seems my older sister is working at this research institute.

He then shook his head. "I don't know. I've only studied Shinichi Kudo, and I have no relation to him. Even if my sister and I shrunk, the sample size is too small to confirm whether there's a connection."

"Yes, that's true. Although mice given the drug can be rejuvenated, after a period of time, all the cells in their bodies will age rapidly and then die quickly."

"If you were to take the second pill after shrinking, you would die instantly. Currently, only you two have not shown any abnormalities. You have simply shrunk, without any impact on your intelligence or other aspects. Of course, it is also possible that it is not yet time for you to take the pill."

Haibara's breathing quickened slightly, meaning that this drug might only temporarily revert her to childhood before she died.

Then they...

……

Seeing the smile on her father's face, Pingqing raised an eyebrow slightly. "Dad, how is it?"

"There were some gains."

"It's late, you should go to sleep early."

Shuji Ito smiled and said, "I understand. Send them back first, and you should all go back soon too."

Seeing Hirai come out, Haibara glanced at Ito Shuji and silently followed behind him.

Mikasa and Jundo seem to know each other very well.

Upon seeing Gin in the car, Haibara couldn't help but tremble.

The atmosphere in the car was heavy because Gin was there. Taira smiled; it was quite strange that he, Gin, and Ai Haibara would be in the same car one day.

After all, Haibara was terrified of them.

It would be even more fun if Conan and Vermouth were added.

Glancing at Haibara, who was looking down, Taira Kiyoshi began to make promises, "When there's time, I'll arrange for you two sisters to meet."

Upon hearing this, Haibara forgot her fear and looked up at Hirai, "When?"

"Hmm... it depends on the situation, it shouldn't be too long."

Haibara didn't care, as long as she could see her sister.

……

Upon entering the study, I saw Karasuma Renya looking at a photograph, his gaze distant.

Pingqing glanced at the photo discreetly, then obediently sat down on the side.

Reaching out to pat Heikiri's head, Karasuma Renya sighed with emotion. He used to hold him when he was little. Now he's all grown up; time really flies.

When they were little, they looked quite alike, but now that they've grown up, they don't look so alike anymore.

Ping Qing blinked; the old man's gaze was directed at him, filled with nostalgia.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Hirai was starting to stare blankly, Karasuma Renya asked with a smile.

Pingqing looked at Karasuma Renya, then touched his own face, "I feel like my dad lowered the overall attractiveness of our family."

Karasuma Renya: ...

What is Pingqing thinking about every day?

"Hehe... I'll tell your dad what you said."

Seeing Karasuma Renya smiling so happily, Taira Kiyoshi felt a little guilty. Actually, his dad was quite handsome, gentle, and had a great presence; otherwise, how could he have captivated his mother, who was obsessed with looks?

If my mom hears this, her ears will suffer again.

"I was wrong, I didn't say anything." Then she moved closer to Karasuma Renya, "Grandpa, why did you suddenly call me over? Didn't you used to complain that I was noisy? You even had someone kick me out last time."

Hearing Taira no Kiyoshi start bringing up old grievances, Karasuma Renya gestured to the black box on the table.

"open to take a look."

Pingqing opened the box with a suspicious look. Knowing the old man's personality, the contents inside must be extremely hot.

Without hesitation, Karasuma Renya dropped a bombshell.

"I have already announced that you are my heir."

In an instant, Hirakiyo's eyes widened and he hugged Karasuma Renya's arm tightly.

"Waaaah... Grandpa, if you're going to run away, you have to take me with you! You can't leave me alone! Aren't I your favorite little cutie? How am I supposed to survive on my own?"

Karasuma Renya's lips twitched. He was starting to regret his decision and slapped Hirai Kiyoshi in an annoyed tone.

"What do you mean I'm going to run away?"

Heiji looked at Karasuma Renya with a pitiful expression, "Isn't that right?"

"You don't actually want to walk around the organization under the guise of an FBI undercover agent, do you?"

"what?"

He had almost forgotten about it.

Seeing that Hirakiyo didn't take the matter to heart at all, Karasuma Renya sighed.

"I'm focusing all my energy on experiments right now, so I really don't have the energy to manage all that. I'll leave those things to you."

Ping Qing pouted, "What? You're clearly very free, yet you still have time to arrange a candlelight dinner."

Karasuma Renya looked at Heikiri with a half-smile, "Don't you like it?"

He remembered that the two of them had a very enjoyable meal.

"I like it, but I'm lazy and useless. How could I possibly manage an organization? I'd only drag the experiment down. I really can't take on that responsibility. And those old guys, how could they possibly listen to me?"

Once you've been given the title, you have to do the work.

He's so lazy, this is going to kill him.

Those people will listen to the old man, but not him. I wonder how many people are waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

They might even be plotting to kill him and take his place.

After all, there was no such thing as an heir before.

The infighting within the organization is brutal; people can really die.

Seeing Taira no Kiyoshi's bitter face, Karasuma Renya comforted him, "With me here, you can do it without worry."

The old man had said this before: with the organization around, he could do whatever he wanted, but how could he be allowed to act recklessly?

"Grandpa, I really can't do it."

“You’ve grown up and learned everything you need to learn. We can’t protect you forever.”

He patted Pingqing's hand as he spoke, "Now the entire organization knows, this matter is a foregone conclusion."

Taira no Kiyoshi looked at Karasuma Renya with a sense of despair; he just wanted to be a parasite.

I looked inside the box; there were rings and seals, all of which represented identity.

"Grandpa, what if I ruin the organization? After all, we just blew up a base."

"Do you know?"

For children you've watched grow up, you should have a good grasp of this.
