I was in Conan, and after picking up Xiao Ai, I was chased by Hongzi.

"Hey, hey -" Otoi Hiroshi rolled his eyes and couldn't help but laugh, "What do you mean by the tone of being a bastard?"

"It's nothing, I just think your boy is more to my liking."

"Even if you don't tell me, I will take good care of her and go back."

As soon as he walked around the corner of the corridor, he heard the exaggerated voice of Kogoro Mouri behind him.

"Ah~ there are so many beautiful police ladies!"

……

The whole incident came to an end, and the way back was much faster than when we went there.

Saying goodbye to everyone, Otoi Hiroshi drove Haibara Ai back to the apartment.

For some reason, Suzuki Sonoko was picked up by someone from the Suzuki family as soon as she got off the boat. She didn't even have time to say goodbye.

The ride back was particularly quiet.

The CD in the car plays Hamasaki Ayumi's classic song - "My All"

The car was going very fast, and the beautiful night scenery with shining lights along the way was left behind.

Hui Yuarai held her chin with her right hand, blinking her eyes, and swayed her white and tender calves under her skirt.

Cute like an exquisite Barbie doll.

When the song reached its climax, Otoi Hiroshi grabbed Haihara Ai's right hand and led her to wave her arms together.

【I want you to see your dream】

【Never-ending, never-ending】

【Desire for you to have that dream】

【That's my wish】

【I want to protect you】

【No matter what happens】

【I will use everything I have】

【Go and protect you forever】

……

Although I was happily swaying to the rhythm of Otoi Hiroshi for a long time.

After stopping, Hui Yuan Ai, whose face was flushed, still turned away proudly, "Like an idiot."

"I don't know who even sang along just now." Otoi Hiroshi curled his lips.

"It's not me anyway!"

"It's you! It's you! It's you! Just a little bit."

After Hiroshi Otoi finished speaking, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became quiet.

"Hey, Hong." Hui Yuan Ai put away her calves, put her feet on the seat, and put her hands around her knees. "That woman—Hongzi, is there any chance that she will wake up?"

"..."

Hiroshi Otoi turned off the sound in the car.

"Pandora. Only Pandora can save her," he said.

"Pandora." Hui Yuan Ai lowered his head, "—the legendary Stone of Life."

"Yeah, legendary."

Otoi Hiroshi smiled self-deprecatingly, "But I will look for it, no matter how long it takes."

"What's the next plan?" she asked quietly.

"Go to France." His eyes darkened, and his voice was like a layer of frost. "The spiders are there."

"Is it dangerous?!" There was obvious panic in her eyes.

"Don't worry, no one in this world who can kill me has been born yet." Otoi Hiroshi said proudly.

"But--"

"Hongzi is still asleep. Every time I think about this, it makes it difficult for me to sleep."

He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, "Spider must die."

She just said "hmm" softly.

There were no touching words about wanting to live and die with him.

She understood that forcing herself to follow him would only become a drag on him.

All she can do now is to complete the medicine as soon as possible.

This is the greatest help to him.

"By the way," she turned her head, "that woman you were paying attention to before."

"You mean the so-called woman with the surname 'K'?"

"Well, she was protected and evacuated immediately after the explosion. Her identity is indeed not simple."

"Well, that surname has a long history after all, but it's not really important. I just think..."

"Huh?" She tilted her head cutely.

"Obviously she is a stranger, but I feel a particularly familiar sense of intimacy from her."

"——Friendly like a warm spring water, surrounding me."

"Well -" Haiyuan Ai held his chin with his hand and looked out the window at the brightly lit city, "Biologically speaking, this kind of unreasonable intimacy usually comes from blood."

"Is she some relative of your family?"

"Those relatives of the Otoi family..." Hiroshi Otoi said in a calm and indifferent tone, "I can only smell the rancid smell of greed and profit from them, and I can't feel any sense of intimacy at all."

"is it possible--"

The way she frowns is so cute.

Otoi Hiroshi looked at her snow-white face in the rearview mirror, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Maybe your guess is right."

……

Return to the apartment.

Hui Yuan Ai opened the door and turned on the entrance light.

The raised calves suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on the black high-heeled shoes neatly placed at the entrance.

Otoi Hiroshi's eyes slowly opened wide.

not good.

It seems that something important has been forgotten.

"Well——" Miyuki Miyazaki, with bare feet and sleepy eyes, appeared at the end of the entrance corridor, rubbing her eyes. "Otoi~ Are you back?"

Hiroshi Otoi tiptoed back two steps, then turned around cautiously, preparing to slip away.

"Wait a moment."

"Please explain the current situation carefully!"

He looked back.

Hui Yuan Ai crossed his arms and stared at him with disdain and disgust.

"Ah... that... this..." Hiroshi Otoi looked at Miyuki Miyazaki and then at Ai Haihara.

Now how to do? Waiting for an answer online, urgent.

A slightly wide nightgown, two smooth legs slowly walked into the light.

"Ok?"

Miyuki Miyazaki tilted her head, looking shocked.

Hui Yuan Ai finally saw her face clearly.

suddenly--

As if they had made an agreement, the two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, arms crossed, turned to look at Otoi Hiroshi, and said in unison:

"——You don't even spare your own teacher?!"

"——You don't even let such a young child go?!"

"Huh?" Haihara Ai tilted her head cutely, walked up to Hiroshi Otoi and took his hand, "Brother Otoi, are you and Miyuki-sensei together?"

Miyazaki Miyuki seemed to feel that her words were ambiguous. She raised her hand and took three steps back.

She casually lifted the dropped shoulder strap onto her shoulders and said righteously, "Let me tell you in advance that I don't have that kind of relationship with him."

"Ai-chan is just Brother Otoi's sister. Teacher Miyuki misunderstood him." Haibara Ai nodded obediently.

"But..." Haibara Ai pointed her finger on her cheek, her eyes confused, "Since Miyuki-sensei and Otoi-san are not in a boyfriend-and-girlfriend relationship, why are they at his house?"

"——She's also wearing a nightgown worn by another sister."

Otoi Hiroshi almost cried to them on the spot.

Because at this moment, Miyuki Miyazaki was wearing the same nightgown that Ai Haihara wore when she transformed into Shiho Miyano.

Miyuki Miyazaki stared at Hiroshi Otoi fiercely, her delicate little face tensed, and her slightly opened lips revealed sharp little tiger teeth.

[At any time, don’t forget - Poker Face]

[At any time, don’t forget - Poker Face]

[At any time, don’t forget - Poker Face]

He took a deep breath and said, "That's actually true!"

Otoi Hiroshi walked between the two of them, his eyes revealed true feelings, and he said as if reminiscing:

"It was a dark and windy night for a month. Teacher Miyuki was in disheveled clothes and barefoot..."
