Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

"Okay." Haibara Ai coldly took the steaming rice porridge from Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand, and blinked when she felt the warmth transmitted back from her palm.

Apart from my sister, I have never been treated so warmly.

Unlike her sister's gentle and soft concern, Shizuka Hiratsuka's expression is more direct and honest. Although she won't say any words of concern, she will show her concern through actions.

This feeling made Haibara Ai feel very novel.

"Huh~" Picking up the spoon, Haibara Ai gently scooped up a spoonful of rice porridge, blew it a few times, and then put it into her mouth.

"Mmm, very delicious and warming."

"Right~" Looking at Haibara Ai's slightly narrowed eyes, the smile on Hiratsuka Shizuka's face became even happier.

For Shizuka Hiratsuka, Haibara Ai can now be temporarily regarded as one of her own, and Shizuka Hiratsuka has always been caring towards her own people.

The kind of care that is demonstrated through actions rather than words can really touch the people around you.

Otherwise, how could all the friends recognized by Shizuka Hiratsuka have such a high opinion of her?

Afterwards, Conan and Dr. Agasa, who had taken their time to wash up, also came and finished their breakfast. Then the four people, divided into three groups with different age ranges, sat together on the sofa, holding the coffee brewed by Dr. Agasa in their hands, and silently enjoyed the leisure time after breakfast.

"Okay, it's almost time, I have to leave first." After putting the empty quilt on the coffee table, Shizuka Hiratsuka held her right wrist with her left hand and stretched it behind her head.

"Call me if you need anything, Shinichi, should I take you home or stay a while?"

"I can walk back by myself. Aunt Jing, if you have something to do, you can go first." Conan shook his head slightly and replied with a chuckle.

It can be seen that after a night of adjustment, his mentality has almost recovered.

"Okay, then I'll go by myself." Nodding with a smile, Shizuka Hiratsuka stood up from the sofa and picked up her car keys from the coffee table.

"By the way." Without letting Professor Agasa and the others see her off, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had put on her shoes in the hallway, suddenly turned her head and spoke loudly with a broad smile on her face.

"Shinichi, you have a lot of friends at school, don't you? You always ask me to take Haibara out to play with you. After all, you kids nowadays should act like kids, okay?"

"Yes, yes, I understand." Conan blinked and swallowed his words when he was about to complain. He just waved his hand with some disgust.

Shizuka Hiratsuka knew clearly that she was not good at playing with those three children.

"The same goes for Haibara. Don't forget that you are a child now. You need to be more lively." Without waiting for Haibara Ai's answer, Shizuka Hiratsuka left the hallway swiftly after finishing her words.

"..." Her eyes flashed slightly, and after a moment of silence, Haibara Ai turned her head and looked straight at Conan on the other side.

"What's wrong?" Facing Haibara Ai's gaze, Conan's tone was not as aggressive as it was at the beginning, perhaps because he thought of her identity and her performance yesterday.

"Ms. Hiratsuka is a very good person." Without paying attention to Conan's discomfort, Haibara Ai also sighed softly.

"Do I need you to tell me that..." Conan lazily touched his hair and wanted to say something, but suddenly seemed to think of something. His movements froze in mid-air, and his eyes stared blankly at Haibara Ai.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Conan's suddenly subtle expression in front of her, Haibara Ai's eyes wrinkled slightly.

"Um, Haibara." Conan pursed his lips, his face somewhat embarrassed.

He wasn't a gossiper, nor was he someone who liked to speculate about others behind their backs, but...

Recalling the things about Shizuka Hiratsuka and the conversations between his mother and father that he had always overheard inadvertently in the past, Conan, driven by his curiosity, asked the question by accident.

"Are you interested in Aunt Jing?"

"Interested?" He looked at Conan in confusion. Even with Haibara Ai's intelligence, she couldn't figure out what Conan was going to do.

"What if I say I'm interested?"

"Although it may be a bit presumptuous, please let me ask." Conan blinked rapidly, and the expression on his face could no longer be described as weird.

"What is your sexual preference, Haibara?"

"..."

Chapter 296: Sister Jing says yes, yes

"Sister Jing, why are you here?"

Yukino happily opened the door of her apartment, not trying to hide the joy on her face.

She is really happy!

This weekend, neither Xiaolan nor Sonoko contacted Yukino to go out and play because they were busy with their own things. Although Yukino couldn't say she was looking forward to it, she was ready to spend the weekend alone at home reading.

It was only a short time after I had finished breakfast and had just chosen the book to read today when I received a call from Shizuka Hiratsuka.

When she learned that Shizuka Hiratsuka was coming, Yukino agreed in surprise. After hanging up the phone, she hurriedly tidied up the room that she cleaned every day. At the same time, she carefully selected a dress that was cuter than her usual home clothes, but not too special.

God have mercy on you. Because Shizuka Hiratsuka is so busy lately, Yukino hasn't had any time alone with Shizuka Hiratsuka for a long time.

My sister is not reliable either. She was originally smiling and talking to me about forming a sister alliance, but after getting some news, she started laughing and acted like she had forgotten everything.

"Hmph, woman!" She snorted inwardly, but even if Xue Noi had many complaints and dissatisfactions in her heart, they were now washed away by happiness.

"Why can't I come over and see you?~" Looking at the smiling Yukino in front of her with amusement, Shizuka Hiratsuka reached out and scratched her little nose.

"Of course, Sister Jing, you are welcome to come anytime." With a sweet smile on her face, Xueno suppressed her excitement deep in her heart.

She knew that Shizuka Hiratsuka liked her to show her lively girlish side in front of her, but she would not show it too much. Although she felt really relaxed and comfortable around Shizuka Hiratsuka, Yukino's personality did not allow her to act as unscrupulously as her sister Haruno.

No, it’s better to say that Yukino even consciously controls the number of times she acts coquettishly.

After all, things that are not often seen are precious, right?

"Well, I've been a little busy lately, so I haven't been able to take care of many things." Looking at the well-behaved Yukino in front of her, Shizuka Hiratsuka's smile became even happier and more relieved.

She really likes Yukino who is so sensible.

After all, this could be said to be an outstanding girl that he had personally rescued and taught. Even seeing Yukino being praised by other teachers and Shizuka Hiratsuka being praised by other students made him feel proud.

"I'm so sorry I haven't come to see you more often."

"It's nothing. Sister Jing has taken good care of me. Besides, I can take care of myself. There's no need for Sister Jing to worry about me so much." She smiled and shook her head. Yukino was not thinking about anything else at the moment. Being looked at by Hiratsuka Shizuka with such a relieved and loving look, Yukino felt that her heart was about to jump out of Xingtang.

"Sister Jing, please sit down. I'll go get you some tea." She quickly pulled Hiratsuka Jing to sit on the sofa. Yukino found an excuse and quickly walked to the kitchen.

"Huh~" While brewing tea, Yukino adjusted her breathing.

Although she felt that her analogy was a bit rude, Yukino really felt that Shizuka Hiratsuka was like an addictive poison.

And when I, who had already become dependent on this poison, came into such close contact with her again after many days, the leap in my consciousness could not be easily suppressed.

"Sister Jing, please have some tea." But Xueno was a calm girl after all. She didn't waste much time to calm herself down and came out with the brewed tea.

"Well, thank you." Shizuka Hiratsuka took the tea with a smile and took a sip.

"Sister Jing, you came here today, maybe you have something to tell me." Sitting on the sofa on the side like a lady, Yukino looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a smile.

"Ah, you figured it out so easily?" Blinking lightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her hair with a smile.

"Well, because Sister Jing is not good at lying to people around her." She nodded with a smile, and a hint of curiosity flashed in Yukino's eyes.

Although she had known Shizuka Hiratsuka for such a long time, Yukino had never seen Shizuka Hiratsuka show such a conflicted and hesitant expression in front of her.

"How should I put it." Putting her hands down from her hair, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the girl in front of her who was like a snow lotus, and finally gritted her teeth.

There are some things that Shizuka Hiratsuka cannot keep hidden forever.

Xueno also has Yingdie, who was left by Huajian Yingluo to take care of her. The last time he saw Huajian Yingluo in the tavern, he also said that the fluctuations of Xueno's spiritual power have become more and more obvious. If this continues, it will not work.

"This is Yukino's fate, I'm not qualified to help her decide." Having made her decision, Hiratsuka Shizuya breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yukino." Having made her decision, Shizuka Hiratsuka stopped hesitating and spoke directly to Yukino after her expression became slightly serious.

"There's something I need to tell you about you."

"Yes, I'm listening, Sister Jing." Yukino nodded gently, and her expression became serious.

"First of all, Yukino, do you believe that there are monsters in this world?" With a slight flicker in her eyes, Shizuka Hiratsuka asked the most ridiculous question in the eyes of the world.

"I believe."

"Huh?" Shizuka Hiratsuka widened her eyes in surprise. She didn't expect Yukino's answer to be so decisive.

"Why, Yukino, have you discovered anything yet?"

"Maybe I am. After all, after coming to Tokyo, I have indeed been affected by some strange phenomena." He frowned in distress, but soon relaxed.

With a faint smile on her face, Yukino's eyes were full of trust and determination.

"But I believe that Sister Jing, you won't lie to me."

"If Sister Jing says there are monsters in this world, I will also believe that there are monsters in this world."

"..." The words in her mind froze slightly, and Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes kept blinking, her gaze fixed on Yukino without moving.

Relieved, happy, satisfied, proud...

There are many more emotions that Shizuka Hiratsuka cannot describe in words, but she can be sure that she feels very happy now.

The happiness of being trusted unconditionally.

It turns out that without me realizing it, Yukino has come to trust me so much?

The curve of her lips became softer, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and shook her head, then took a deep breath and looked at Yukino again.

"Xue No, you must remember what I'm going to say next, and don't tell anyone else without my permission~"

"Yes, I understand, Sister Jing."

Chapter 297: Find out who did it

"I see, so what I saw wasn't just an illusion."

Listening quietly to Shizuka Hiratsuka's brief account of the things about monsters and spiritual powers, Yukino's cute little head nodded bit by bit.

However, compared to Hiratsuka Shizuka's imagination, Yukino's current performance is much calmer.

"Yukino, did you accept it so easily?" He looked at Yukino with some confusion. Even Hiratsuka Shizuka herself took some time to calm down after knowing that there were monsters in this world.

"Yes, because what happened to me before has made me have certain doubts. Although it is unlikely, I was already thinking about it at a fantasy level. Now that Sister Jing tells me that it is a monster, I can understand it better." Nodding with a smile, Yukino felt a little happy looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka's surprised expression.

Compared to knowing that there are monsters in this world, Yukino is more excited and concerned about the fact that before Shizuka Hiratsuka told her the story, she told her so seriously not to tell anyone else, not even her sister Haruno.

Well, in that case, wouldn't it be a secret between me and Hiratsuka Shizuka? ~

Her eyes kept flashing with excitement, but Yukino didn't show it so obviously.

She knew that God would not let down those who work hard, and that her steadfast waiting had finally brought her own opportunity!

"It's great that you can understand, Yukino." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded awkwardly. Not wanting to show her inferiority in front of the younger generation, she pretended to be accustomed to it.

"Then what do I need to do?" Gently stroking her hair, Yukino kindly pretended to help Shizuka Hiratsuka change the subject.

"Sister Jing said before that my current condition is a bit dangerous, right?"

"Yes." After a light cough, when talking about serious matters, Shizuka Hiratsuka's expression became serious.

"That's what I want to ask you."

"Yukino, how do you want to deal with the spiritual power in your body?" Looking closely at Yukino, Shizuka Hiratsuka handed the decision of the matter to this girl who had always been very opinionated in her heart.

"If you want to control this spiritual power in your body, I will help you master it and let you understand how to use it so that it will not harm your body. However, if you do this, your future life will become completely different."

"I told you, once you officially step into the demon world, it's impossible to easily withdraw. The moment you master spiritual power, your future destiny will be completely changed."

"And, if you don't want your life to be filled with these strange and dangerous things." Perhaps realizing that her tone was a bit too heavy, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and shook her head, trying to make the atmosphere seem more relaxed.

"I can also find someone to help you completely remove that spiritual energy from your body. That way, after a period of recuperation, your body will be able to recover to the level of a normal girl of your age."

"How is it, Yukino?" Looking at Yukino with bright eyes, Shizuka Hiratsuka asked in a calm tone.

"What's your choice?"

"I want to master the spiritual power in my body." Without any hesitation, Yukino answered Hiratsuka Shizuka's question very easily with a faint smile on her lips, in the cautious eyes that were not well hidden.

"Are you sure?" Without asking why, Shizuka Hiratsuka just asked again.

"Yes, even I can't suppress my curiosity about such a fantastic thing." Yukino nodded with a smile, looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka with shining eyes.

"And I also want to be closer to Sister Jing's life. It's just my little willfulness." Blinking playfully, Yukino stood up and walked to sit next to Hiratsuka Shizuka. She put her arm around Hiratsuka Shizuka's arm and shook it slightly.

"Sister Jing will definitely help me~"

"What else, little girl." Shaking her head with amusement, Shizuka Hiratsuka raised her hand and touched Yukino's soft hair.
