Today, even after the four groups of guests left, Izu Beach is still very lively.

First, a new pastry chef introduced by store manager Jiamu signed an employment contract with Julang Restaurant.

Before leaving, Manager Jiamu assured the restaurant manager that this was an apprentice taught in his store and that his skills would absolutely be impeccable.

The manager of Julang, Mizuhara Yu, accepted the contract and took the late newcomer away.

Although her face was serious, her tone was still gentle: "Aihara Mihui? Come with me."

Arriving almost at the same time as the newcomer was an old man from Kudakashima.

She entered the Princess Hotel through the main entrance, skipped the registration desk, went into the elevator, and knocked on the door of room 406.

It doesn't matter what her name is, what matters is that she is here to find Matsuzaki Haru.

As soon as he closed the door, he slapped his granddaughter hard in the face!

The old man's roar immediately pierced the eardrums.

"I taught you how to catch sea snakes, so you can use them to harm people?!"

"Who are you trying to hide what you did from? Is there anyone who shouldn't know?!"

Matsuzaki Haru covered his red and swollen cheeks, but lowered his head and dared not say a word.

The old man took out a document from his bag with a fierce look on his face, calling out her former full name.

"Yamashita Haru! Sign it for me!"

"Someone will contact you in the next few days! If you don't cooperate, I will take you to see my son!"

The old man's son, Haru Matsuzaki's biological father, had died long ago.

Matsuzaki Haru took the document blankly and opened it, and soon his expression became complicated.

……

Professor Agasa drove Ai back to Trojan Village and then drove back home.

The lights in Trojan Village are still on.

Haibara Ai dragged her suitcase and used the key to open the door of Trojan Manor. As soon as she entered, she saw a pair of shoes placed at the entrance.

someone here.

She changed her shoes and walked in, and saw a guy with his arm hanging in the living room wandering around the house, looking like he couldn't sit still.

"Hey, welcome back! Little sister... Huibara Ai, right? I remember the kids in the library all called you that."

Seeing the girl coming back, the other party waved in a good mood and came over to help her with her luggage.

Xiao Ai looked at her injured arm and shook her head in refusal.

"Hey, don't be like that! We have met each other many times. I helped you kids in the library, and you fixed my dislocated joint in the elevator... We are friends for life and death. If we round it off, we are already acquaintances, right?"

Aso Jun, who unilaterally identified the acquaintance, dangled his hands with triangle belts on, but his statement was obviously not very convincing.

She dislocated her arm twice that day, and to avoid habitual dislocations in the future, she will have to keep her arm in a sling for two to three weeks.

Why did Jun Aso suddenly come back?

"Sister Li An said you would be scared if you were alone in the house, so she asked me to come back and accompany you."

"You said you would bring me a gift last time..."

In fact, Haibara Ai was not very good at dealing with such grown-up children. She nodded and still insisted on dragging the suitcase back to the room by herself.

There were a few clothes and toiletries in it, as well as a book or two, so it wasn't heavy to pull.

There has been nothing added to her room except her school bag and books. The only thing added to her desk is a "new" computer that she bought from the tip of the chaotic technology branch. It has many functions and good performance.

According to Li An, she shouldn't need to change it so often.

Xiao Ai actually doesn’t quite understand this, but it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s enough.

Aso Jun followed him upstairs, but didn't really break in to disturb them.

While Xiao Ai was tidying up, her voice was heard from outside the door.

"By the way, although you know my name, have I never formally introduced myself?"

"My name is Jun Asou. You can call me whatever you want. There's nothing wrong with calling me Sister Asou like we did in the elevator, or changing it to Sister Xiaochun. But of course, it's better to call me Sister Xiaochun or Sister Asou. It sounds more concise."

In a quiet house, there always has to be someone talking to make it seem lively.

Aso Jun talked about interesting things around him, occasionally asking her about what happened on the beach, but he never asked about Ai's past.

"Jiamu Cake... that one... does it have any new products?"

“Summer drinks and puddings… iced coffee…”

“I don’t know if I’ll have the chance to eat it later…”

"Oh, by the way, you haven't had dinner yet, how about we go out and find a place to eat? I know a pretty good restaurant..."

There is also an arcade on the street nearby...

But thinking that the girl must be very tired after returning from her trip, Aso Jun, who was wearing a triangle belt, swallowed his words back into his stomach.

……

Ran Mouri followed Eri Kisaki back to her apartment.

When I opened the door, I saw a brown and black-tabby cat quietly sleeping at the door.

Hearing the sound, it squinted its eyes, slowly wagged its tail, and meowed softly, but was too lazy to move.

Mao Lilan picked up the fat spotted cat and rubbed its head affectionately.

"Goro, long time no see."

Goro meowed softly, his voice a little hoarse.

Its brown hair is no longer as smooth and shiny as before. Some gray hair has begun to grow, and the originally beautiful color has become mottled.

It is not young anymore and has already been an old cat.

"Xiao Lan, there's milk in the refrigerator. You can pour some if you want. I'll make a phone call."

After pulling her luggage into the room, Kisaki Eri rubbed Goro's head, and then called her assistant, Ms. Kuriyama, to ask about the follow-up of the previous cases at work and her future plans.

Ran Mouri held Goro, put it in the cat bed, gave it some water and food, and then looked around the apartment to see if there was anything that needed to be cleaned, and also checked the refrigerator to see if there was any expired food that needed to be cleared out.

It was actually Hime Eri who suggested coming to the apartment where her mother lives.

She had just finished a commission and didn't have any backlog of cases on hand, so I took advantage of the holiday to pick her up and stay for a few nights, and then sent her back to the office when school started.

Of course, Kogoro Mori had no reason to refuse.

Xiaolan originally wanted her parents to stay a little longer, but her father picked up Conan and ran away, leaving her with many words to say.

Really, the two of them are always like this.

But her battle this time...shouldn't be considered a failure, right?

Mao Lilan took the milk out of the refrigerator, glanced at Hime Eri who was still on the phone, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

Hime Eri was originally talking about business seriously, but now her expression looked a little confused.

"...When did I tell you to sort out the old case files?"

"Ah... Actually, it's a survey request from Mr. Maori... I'm sorry! I shouldn't have acted on my own!"

"Forget it... this won't happen again."

On the ring finger of her left hand, a ring was shining.
