Having learned from her first experience, Ai was immediately intrigued. She dragged a stool from the house, sat in front of the fishpond, and started casting her fishing rod.

Despite his young age, Ai Dian has already become a respectable "fisherman".

However, they weren't fishing for fish, but for lost items.

This sense of the unknown is the most fascinating part, because you never know what you'll catch next.

It could be a priceless treasure, it could be useless trash, or it could be those incomprehensible fragments of people carelessly discarded.

Ai even fished up a rusty AK47. She pulled the bolt, and it could still be chambered. There were bullets inside, and when she pulled the trigger, it actually fired.

This startled the two birds, Bobo and Bobo, who were sneakily preparing to attack the flower bed. The bullet flew right past them, and by a hair's breadth, the birds' lives would have been in danger.

In a short while, when Akemi finished cleaning the villa and came out of the house, there were so many messy things piled up around Yuzuru and Ai that even the water buckets couldn't hold them all.

"Young Master Yuzuru, Ai, are you two collecting trash?" Akemi asked with a smile as she walked over lightly.

After saying that, she casually picked up a broken sword from the "garbage heap" and brandished it a few times in a very professional manner.

"You're not entirely wrong, but to be more precise, we're fishing for trash." Yuzuru shrugged, while Ai couldn't help but giggle.

This relies too much on luck. It involves randomly fishing for lost items from all over the world. If you're unlucky, you won't catch anything good at all.

After learning about the magical uses of the lost fishing rod and the fishpond from Hanyu Nana and Ai, the little maid also proudly joined the fishing club. She squatted down and watched with great interest.

Ai didn't disappoint her sister's expectations. Soon, she felt the fishing rod in her hand suddenly sink, and excitedly shouted, "Something's taken the bait again!"

Yuzuru went over to take a look and found that what he had fished up was a tattered robot toy with many parts already fallen off.

Seeing this, Mingmei was both amused and exasperated: "They really can catch all sorts of strange and unusual things!"

Ai, however, fiddled with the toys with great interest: "Maybe it can still be used after some repairs."

Hearing this, Yuu Nan raised an eyebrow and laughed, "That's right, Xiu Xiu can even be sold to classmates. Ai is really shrewd and calculating, no wonder she's our little housekeeper."

However, it would be better to leave this task to Professor Agasa. He has many children, which are easy to sell, and he is also very capable. He can upgrade the broken robot into a mini Gundam in no time.

The haughty little girl rolled her eyes at him, completely ignoring him, put the robot in the trash heap, and continued swinging the lever.

Yuzuru turned to the little maid and casually asked, "Akemi, have you lost anything? It doesn't matter how long it's been lost, now there's a chance to find it."

"The lost things..."

Akemi tapped her chin with her finger, lost in thought. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, her bright eyes lit up. "Young Master Yuzuru, do the buried time capsules count?"

"A time capsule?" Ai put down the lost fishing rod in her hand, looking at her sister with a hint of doubt.

Mingmei nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, I buried it when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school. If you think about it, more than 10 years have passed. It's really time to take it out."

"So what did you write in it, sister?"

Ai asked curiously.

"This is my little secret~ You'll find out when we catch Ai." Akemi winked mischievously, a sly smile on her face, then turned to Hanyu Nan and said, "Young Master Hanyu, is it alright?"

Yuzuru nodded. "It should work. We'll see if we try."

He did know what was written in the time capsule, but since the maid had chosen not to tell him yet, he naturally couldn't spoil the fun.

Following Ai's instructions, Akemi held the lost fishing rod and stood by the pond, recalling the exact appearance of the time capsule while muttering to herself:

"It was a small metal box with a piece of paper stuck to the lid that read, 'This is the time capsule of the 19th graduating class. Please give it to the teacher if you find it.' I remember hiding it in the ceiling of the animal shed at Teitan Elementary School, where the roof had two layers of wooden planks..."

Hearing her older sister say that she was a graduate of Teitan Elementary School, Ai Haibara couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her face.

She had never heard her sister mention this before. She only knew that her sister always followed the organization's orders and frequently transferred to different schools. She never expected that her sister was actually her senior.

No wonder I was so happy when I heard I was going to study at Teitan High School; now I know why.

After describing the memories of the time capsule that came to mind, Akemi gently cast her fishing rod and then stared intently at the float, patiently waiting for the 'fish' to take the bait.

The result did not disappoint them; before long, the float began to sway slightly.

Upon seeing this, Mingmei was overjoyed. She quickly grabbed the fishing rod and pulled hard, and a small, rusty iron box broke out of the water.

"I caught it! I caught it!" Ai was even more excited than Akemi, and quickly stepped forward to take the small metal box.

However, just as he was about to open it, Yuzuru beat him to it.

"Let me see first..." Yuzuru held the small metal box in one hand and pressed down on Ai, who was trying to snatch the box back, with the other hand, intending to be the first witness.

How could Ai-chan, a sister-complex girl, be happy about this? She puffed out her cheeks and waved her two bare, fair arms like a whirlwind, trying to break free from the large hand pressing on her forehead.

"Eek?"

The little fox, awakened by the noise, yawned lazily with sleepy eyes, then shook its fluffy ears before slowly climbing onto Yuzuru's shoulder, its curious eyes fixed on the lively scene before it.

In the end, it was the little maid who stepped in and ended the conflict.

Akemi smiled and pulled Ai away, then gently took the small metal box from Hanyu Nan's hand. "Alright, you two stop arguing. This is a time capsule I buried back then, so I should be the first to check it."

After saying that, she gently opened the tin box, and inside were yellowed slips of paper and several old photos bearing the marks of time.
