Conan: No, why aren't you following the script?

After calming down and thinking it over, Ai Haibara did not blindly refute Kitagawa Isao's 'reasoning'.

Instead, she nodded very seriously, putting on a weak and timid appearance.

This ability to disguise herself was not difficult for her.

"Yes, that's right, just as you think..."

Ai Haibara looked up intently, her expression one of deep concern. At that moment, she seemed like a lost child, her eyes clearly revealing a pitiful, weak, and helpless look.

Seeing her like this, Kitagawa Isao's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered, ruffled her hair, and said:

"Since that's the case, why don't you stay at my house for now? You're homeless anyway, and even if you go to the Metropolitan Police Department, they'll only assign you single female officers. You might as well stay with me, and I can help you find your family."

Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion immediately flashed in Ai Haibara's eyes.

But on second thought, it's not that Kitagawa Isao was exaggerating.

A little girl like her, who had just escaped from a kidnapper, was either placed in the nearest orphanage or adopted by a police officer.

Neither of these two possibilities is as convenient for her as staying at Kitagawa Isao's house.

Firstly, she was already certain that Kitagawa Isao was not a member of that organization, and Kitagawa Isao lived alone. If she were in a new environment, she couldn't guarantee that the people she came into contact with might still have some connection with the organization.

Furthermore, if she follows the police's orders, she might be able to stay in Beika Town if she's lucky, but if she's not careful, she might be sent to the neighboring Beika Town or Ekoda Town...

If she wants to get in touch with Shinichi Kudo again, that won't be a simple matter...

To ensure that her initial goal would not be affected, and after carefully checking for possible situations, Ai Haibara finally nodded silently, reluctantly agreeing to stay at Kitagawa Isao's house.

However, she had one more condition.

That means she has to go to the nearby Teitan Elementary School.

Although the organization's informants are spread all over the country, she knows very well that there are no spies planted by the organization in institutions like primary schools, which are of no use to the organization.

Moreover, according to the information she possesses, Shinichi Kudo's body has turned into that of a child, just like hers, and he is very likely the same Conan Edogawa that her older sister has mentioned many times...

She still wanted to get to know this young detective and discuss her future plans with this kindred spirit.

In this world, she has no relatives left to rely on, so seeking refuge with a reliable person is something she doesn't need to think about too much.

and……

She was also eager to see what kind of talents and abilities Conan Edogawa, who had received such high praise from her older sister, possessed.

If he truly possesses exceptional reasoning abilities, then why didn't he discover her sister's true identity back then?

If it were back then...

Thinking of this, Ai Haibara's expression couldn't help but become somewhat sad.

She wiped away her tears sadly, trying to compose herself so that Kitagawa Isao wouldn't notice anything unusual.

However, as soon as she looked up, she saw Kitagawa Isao standing awkwardly by the bed, which left her completely confused.

"Mr. Kitagawa, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Kitagawa Isao shook his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly. "Actually, I just remembered that the white coat you wore when you came seems to be soaked. I don't have any children's clothes here, so... I'll go out and buy you a few now?"

Upon hearing Kitagawa Isao mention this, Ai Haibara realized that she was still completely naked, seemingly only wrapped in a narrow bath towel...

In an instant, a sense of shame filled Ai Haibara's mind, and the little girl's face turned bright red, even her pink neck was tinged with crimson.

Kitagawa Isao couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, which inevitably earned him an angry look from Haibara Ai.

Kitagawa Isao remained unfazed, simply shrugging and indicating that he wanted to go outside and buy some clothes before the shop closed.

Having said that, he pushed open the door and left without lingering.

……

Tokyo was very peaceful at night. Perhaps because of the heavy rain, there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets.

Rainwater brought down by cumulonimbus clouds irrigates the muddy ground, bringing a refreshing scent.

Walking down this street, Kitagawa Isao held an umbrella in one hand and calculated his future plans with the other.

Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Successfully altered Ai Haibara's entry into the world, gaining +1 reward point, 1 month of lifespan, and initial physical enhancement...]

Upon hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Kitagawa Isao clenched his fist and felt it.

His physical condition does seem to have improved, and he is much stronger than before.

In addition to lifespan and reward points...

This was just one change, and he already received such a reward. Imagine if he followed along and changed the entire plot...

Kitagawa Isao couldn't even imagine what kind of existence he would become in the end.

However, now is clearly not the time to think about such distant things.

He should first figure out where he would be better off using the reward points.

Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs are definitely not things to choose in a hurry.

While driving skills, reasoning abilities, and photographic memory are all very useful, their priority is clearly not that high in the current situation.

This is, after all, the world of Detective Conan, where danger lurks everywhere.

Good health is the foundation of everything. In any case, it's better to prioritize strengthening your survival skills and try to stay alive in this world.

Having figured this out, Kitagawa Isao immediately added the reward point to his martial arts skills without hesitation.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully allocating skill points! Your martial arts skills have been enhanced, currently at 1/2 progress. If you wish to enhance other skills, please continue...]

"Pass……"

Before the system could finish speaking, Kitagawa Isao abruptly chose to skip it.

He doesn't like wasting time on things that involve rambling and endless nonsense.

Wouldn't it be better to use that time to do something meaningful?

However, this seemingly grand skill actually only has two progress points on the progress bar...

So, does that mean he can exchange for all these different skills very quickly?
