The Split-Actress in Conan's World

"...You are so sharp-tongued." Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment and said in a flat tone.

However, judging from the way she turned her head and the red tips of her ears showing through her hair, she didn't seem to be that indifferent.

However, this atmosphere did not last long. Chiyoko started rummaging in her bag again, and Haibara Ai turned her head curiously.

"Although it might make some people unhappy, as a partner, it would be a bit disloyal to secretly spy on the secrets of an ally..."

Chiyoko paused, a little hesitant, but then became more determined and took out a carefully wrapped photo from her bag.

"But I still think you should see this."

When Haibara Ai took the photo, she saw a gentle woman with beautiful long black hair.

In the picture, the woman is not looking directly at the camera. She seems to be talking to a tall man. Only the man's back is shown, but one can see that he is wearing a simple knitted hat.

This is a photo taken secretly when someone was not paying attention.

The woman in the picture had a face that made her burst into tears.

That's her sister, Akemi Miyano.

Haibara Ai held the photo tightly, but then loosened her grip in panic, fearing that she would damage the fragile photo. Her pink lips pursed in excitement.

She wanted to cry, but for some reason, the corners of her mouth kept rising, and she was more joyful than the sadness of the past that was awakened.

Like a lamb seeing fresh grass, like a butterfly seeing flowers.

She had seen her sister from afar, and had guessed at all the possibilities of her appearing next to the FBI. She even took the risk of contacting Glenfiddich and tried to find out the answer she expected.

But all of this did not have a settled ending. She was terribly afraid that one day, her hopes would be shattered like the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

Until this photo fell into her hands, the familiar face looked a little haggard, but it made her feel as if she had returned to her childhood more than ten years ago, when she and her sister depended on each other for life.

That feeling of security that is like having a heavy stone hidden in the heart.

It’s as if the ethereal soul has found a place to stay again.

Haibara Ai suddenly smiled, her face as bright as a flower.

All happy dreams have come true. You shouldn’t cry, you should laugh.

But two lines of cold tears fell uncontrollably, making the girl's fair and delicate cheeks even more heartbreaking.

Chiyoko frantically rummaged through his bag. At this moment, he suddenly regretted why he didn't have the habit of carrying a handkerchief like Conan, so it was so difficult for him to find a tissue.

His movements were very urgent, and during the search, an exquisite little box was brought out and noticed by Haibara Ai.

"What is this?" She blinked her watery eyes, and her crying voice was slightly soft and made people's hearts melt.

"Ah, this..." Chiyoko just realized that the small box had fallen out, so she quickly grabbed it and gently put it back into her bag, then she looked around and said, "Nothing..."

"Really?"

Huiyuan Ai was a little unconvinced. This guy's reaction was obviously wrong. She frowned her beautiful eyebrows, wiped her tears with her scarf without any care, and said in a heavier tone, with a commanding tone: "Bring it here so I can see it."

Although she is a little tough, she doesn't offend people. Instead, she makes people feel it is natural, as if that is how she should be.

"It's not good..." Chiyoko laughed dryly, pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and subconsciously covered the bag, but after seeing Haibara Ai's gradually narrowing eyes, she still felt scared and retreated a little.

With the resolute determination to die, he sighed, loosened his hand, and simply handed the bag over.

"Forget it, you should just watch it yourself."

Huibara Ai glanced at him, let out a cute hum, put the bag in front of herself, and took out the small box from the small compartment.

I couldn't see it clearly just now, but now that I look carefully, I realize how exquisite this small box is.

The whole thing is purple-gold in color, and is fastened with a gilded buckle. It feels like stroking cotton wool to the touch, but it is actually quite firm when you hold it.

What on earth could such a box be used to hold?

It is precious, small, and irresistible, and has a unique meaning...

Haibara Ai looked suspiciously at Chiyoko who was standing beside her with a look of grievance on her face. She would occasionally look up and secretly glance at her, then when discovered, she would quickly look away and pretend not to care.

She had a vague guess, but couldn't help but wonder, would this guy really think of giving her something like this?

With a slight nervousness and anticipation, she gently exerted force, opened the small box a crack, and peeked inside.

It is a touch of reddish gold.

She seemed to see the sunset again.

Haibara Ai closed the small box in a flash, her little face flushed and her ears felt as hot as if they were about to melt.

Is he...crazy?!

Is that really the thing!?

Haibara Ai's heart was pounding. She glanced at Chiyoko who was looking at the sky innocently, then calmed her breath and opened the small box again.

This time, she turned it on completely.

A golden ring stood quietly inside.

The ring is very simple, just a simple round ring with just a line of characters carved on the surface.

AI&HIKARI.

"I bought this gold with the money I earned from writing programs for others, and then I spent time melting it in a gold chamber. From the shape to the engraving, I did it all myself."

Chiyoko, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke and took out the ring gently. Compared to usual, he seemed a little talkative at this moment.

"Although it's not a masterpiece, it's even a little ugly, and it's not decorated with diamonds... but it was made entirely by me, Chiyoko, and just for you."

"The Suzuki family has many precious gems and has trained many carving masters, but they are not mine, and they are not me."

"I think, just at this moment, on this ring, I just want to leave my mark, just want to leave you the proof that I exist in this world."

His throat was unusually dry, as if there was a fire burning in his heart, ready to devour him whole.

Haibara Ai just looked at him, her eyes following his amber eyes straight, neither avoiding nor giving way.

She knew that now all she had to do was listen to what the boy had to say.

"I am not a naturally grown person. I don't even know if I can be called a complete person. I have only lived a few short years of my life up to this point, but it seems that I have unknowingly reached a stage that is unfamiliar to me."

"It seemed that I should have ended this miserable life long ago, but I miraculously survived. Compared with other people who suffered the same fate, it can be called a miracle, as if God had given me a rare alms..."

"I named myself 'Light', but the funny thing is, for most of my life, I have never seen what 'Light' looks like."

"Until...I escaped."

"I met you."

Huibara Ai's heart trembled suddenly.

There was no miracle at all. It was just a semi-finished product called "APTX4869" that brought them a displaced fate.
