When they returned to the villa with Ran, Sonoko was already quietly waiting inside.
I don't know what method Ai used, but she managed to get the usually carefree and never-restless Suzuki to sit up straight and obediently on the living room sofa.
Even when she saw them return, Sonoko merely gave them a nod with her eyes.
"What's this all about now?"
Yuzuru watched this scene with amusement and went upstairs.
Ran went to prepare dinner with the maid.
In the laboratory on the seventh floor, Ai was carefully pouring a glass of life-giving water into the instrument. Next to it were a vial of Conan's blood and several APTX4869s that she had made herself.
"So, any progress?"
After watching for a while, Yu Shengnan asked a question.
"Yes." Ai glanced at Hanyu Nan who walked in, picked up a pen and shook it, then drew some ink that would never fade from the ink bottle on the table. While making experimental records in her notebook, she said in a light tone, "This antidote will probably allow me to maintain my original body for about an hour, but I will turn back after an hour."
"That's great!"
Yuzuru picked up a bottle of the Elixir of Life, tilted his head back, and drank it down. His gaze kept shifting between Ai Haibara's loose-fitting white lab coat and his suggestion: "Ai, I think it's about right..."
"Don't even think about it!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ai coldly refused.
"I haven't said anything yet..." Yuzuru innocently placed the empty bottle in his hand on the table.
"Hmph~" Ai, who was focused on taking notes in the experiment, snorted coldly without looking up, and then fell into a brief silence. After a while, she lowered her voice slightly and whispered, "I want to save it for the day I truly recover."
Although the current antidote can sustain an adult's body for an hour, it is still far from meeting Ai's expectations.
Xiao Ai, who eavesdrops every day, knows very well that an hour is simply a drop in the ocean for her young master.
Most importantly, she didn't want her first time to end so abruptly. She was a girl too, and she wanted a perfect night.
People often say that a moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
If it's not a complete love affair, then it's better not to have it at all.
She, Ai Haibara/Shiho Miyano, is the best one!
"Okay, good luck then."
Yuzuru made a very funny face to cheer Ai on, which successfully made Ai, who was writing with her head down, burst out laughing.
He had no choice; the system wasn't working, so he could only rely on his genius little girl's own efforts.
After mentally ranting about the system once again, Yu Shengnan plopped down on the table, swinging his legs, and casually said, "Did you promise to teach those kids to sing in a couple of days?"
"You're not happy?" Seeing that Yuzuru already knew what she had done, Ai's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as she said softly, "Ayumi is really looking forward to you, her 'father,' teaching her to sing."
The cunning little girl even emphasized the word "father".
Knowing he couldn't hide it from her, Yu Shengnan sighed helplessly and explained, "I just felt sorry for this mother and daughter, who were all alone and helpless."
"You're so kind-hearted." Ai rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Lan's mother is getting a divorce soon. Shouldn't you go and help her? After all, she'll be all alone and helpless then."
"Cough cough cough..." Yuzuru was choked by Ai's sudden rude words, his face looked a little unnatural, and he coughed twice in a row.
The two coughs alerted the little girl to something was wrong. She looked up, shocked, and exclaimed, "Don't tell me you really have this plan!"
"I'll go check if the food is ready."
Yuzuru left after saying that, and walked out without looking back.
Watching Yuzuru Nanasu flee in panic, Ai curled her lips and continued to memorize the experimental records, utterly speechless.
She had only said it casually, but it seems she was right.
However, this is something that Yuzuru and a certain lawyer need to consider. She wants to see how the two of them will face Ran. In any case, she herself will definitely not help.
Absolutely not!
absolute!
...
"Phew~"
After coming downstairs, Yuzuru breathed a sigh of relief.
Sometimes it's not a good thing that my little girl is too smart. She can see right through me, which is really a headache.
Fortunately, he had grasped Ai's weakness. All he had to do was use a new prop to tempt her, and even the most arrogant little girl would have to come over and help like a docile kitten.
That's one of Ai's good points; she never goes back on her word.
In the living room, Sonoko remained sitting upright.
Yu Sheng Nan walked over curiously, sat down next to her, reached out and poked her smooth cheek, and asked, "Miss, what are you playing at this time?"
"..." Sonoko remained silent, only blinking rapidly and pursing her lips slightly.
His silence made Yu Shengnan seem to realize something. "If you can't speak, you can type on your phone."
He waved his hand, beckoning the phone to him.
Once Sonoko got the phone, she realized what was happening. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she frantically tapped on the screen. After she finished, she placed the phone in front of Yuzuru.
[I was playing a game with Ai. Before dinner, whoever speaks first loses and has to push the other's butt. Yingying is the referee.]
After reading what Sonoko typed, Yuzuru looked up at the sky speechlessly.
However, instead of seeing the sky, the light from the ceiling was rather dazzling. He couldn't help but rub his temples, looking at Sonoko who was still smugly pleased with herself, thinking that she had won for sure, and said helplessly, "Why do you think Ai would talk to you about fairness?"
Sob sob, she's practically inseparable from Ai Haibara. The two of them are clearly in cahoots, just to prevent Sonoko from interfering with their studies.
Watching Sonoko storm upstairs after learning the truth, Yuzuru nodded in satisfaction. Then, he picked up an orange from the table and slowly peeled it as he strolled toward the kitchen.
He didn't tell Sonoko the truth as revenge after being targeted and retaliated against by some scheming little girl.
Absolutely not!
absolute!
