An unexpected, yet reasonable answer.
Huihara Ai thought.
Her mission today was actually to test this person's true identity, because this person showed great flaws when he saw her before.
In the past few days, Subaru Okiya and Conan's attempts were like hitting cotton, and were all easily blocked.
Perhaps Subaru Okiya really had no other choice, so he let her come.
——Of course, there may be reasons why she requested it so strongly.
After all, you have made up your mind to step out of your comfort zone, so of course you have to take action, right?
"Ah...is that so?" Haibara Ai thought and said this.
The tone was light and vague, as if he was doubtful or perfunctory.
By the time I reacted, the words had already been spoken.
Huihara Ai was a little annoyed. This question was too obvious - no one would doubt the authenticity of a name that someone blurted out.
When Kudo heard this question, he narrowed his eyes subtly, and soon he smiled, with surging waves in his sea-blue eyes.
Haibara Ai was startled, and when she looked over subconsciously, she saw only the ocean under the afternoon sun - calm and peaceful.
"Yes..." He paused here, and his expression returned to normal. His eyelids drooped, and his eyelashes covered his blue eyes, making him look very calm, or in other words, depressed.
"Actually, if you want to know anything, you can just ask me directly."
Kudo suddenly opened his eyelids and stared at her, speaking in a serious tone.
"I would never lie to you."
Kudo added in his mind.
No matter which you are.
Haibara Ai was so shocked by that look that she stepped back slightly. After calming herself down, she raised her icy blue eyes to look at him again, and said lightly, "You can do a lot of things without lying."
Whenever she looked at the serious expression on the black-haired boy's face, she would always be reminded of the time she spent at Kudo's house a few months ago - that time the boy also told them in such a serious tone that he would not hurt anyone.
...because she is here.
Huibara Ai couldn't help but be curious, when did she get to know him?
But if she remembered correctly, there was no such person in her past - if there was, she would never forget it.
Because her past was dark, but this boy's was different.
His body was as black as mud, but his insides seemed to be shining like glass.
"But I won't do that." Kudo flicked the ceramic vase on the table with his hand, and the ceramic made a crisp sound when it collided with his nails.
"I've been called Kudo Shinichi since I was a kid." The boy didn't look at her, but at the flowers in the vase. "...This is the first time I've been suspected of something like this."
He looked very depressed. He stretched out his pale fingers and fiddled with the petals of the sunflowers in the vase. His tone was as depressed as his appearance. "I don't know how to explain this to others."
Haibara Ai's gaze passed over the sunflowers and fell on the boy's pale hands - his hands were white, slender, with distinct joints. The sunlight falling on his pale, sickly skin was completely different from that of a normal person. His skin was white and transparent.
The white cuffs were loose, and Haibara Ai seemed to vaguely see the scar hidden in the sleeves.
A scar that is estimated to be four or five centimeters long.
The scar was not old, and the newly grown flesh around it was a beautiful soft pink color, which was very different from the sickly white surrounding it, so much so that it looked a bit abrupt.
