Chapter 78 - Power of Attorney
"Do you know her?" Conan asked curiously.
"Well..." Qianyu nodded. "Yes..."
"Okay," Teacher Xiaolin said to everyone with a smile. "Hurry back to your seats." After hearing this, Conan ended the conversation and sat back in his seat.
"This," Teacher Xiaolin wrote Haihara Ai's name on the blackboard, "is the student Haihara Ai who will study with you from now on."
"..." During this process, Haiyuan Ai kept looking at Qian Yu, and saw that Qian Yu had some hair on her back.
"Xiao Ai," Xiao Lin Chengzi said kindly. "Choose a seat?"
"There are...in the classroom now..." Qianyu looked around at the empty seats in the classroom. "There are three empty seats...next to Yuantai, behind him, and in front of him."
Haibara Ai, let me see which seat you will choose...let me see what your personality is like.
Although Haibara Ai is not very tall, she is not too short either, and there is no problem with her eyesight. No matter which seat she sits on, she can easily see the blackboard, so where she sits basically depends on her own preferences.
Considering that there is an acquaintance like him, Xiao Ai's choice of position depends to a large extent on his attitude towards him.
If she sits next to Yuantai, she is probably rejecting herself, which means that she has a bad opinion of herself.
If she were sitting in front of her... Qianyu's eyes flickered, indicating that she wanted to see her...
But...
Qianyu looked at Haiyuan Ai walking past him with his peripheral vision.
If she sat behind her, she would be in a high position as an observer... combined with her personality, it would make people feel creepy and high, as if she were a guinea pig in her experimental cage.
After the first class.
"Huiyuan," Qianyu turned around and asked Huiyuan Ai behind him. "What's going on?"
"Qianyu-kun!" Ayumi next to her said unhappy. "You should call her Haibara-kun! You have to use honorifics!"
"It's okay," Hui Yuan Ai smiled slightly and replied. "Qianyu, may I ask what you mean by 'what's going on'?"
"You didn't tell me yesterday that you chose this place?" Qianyu said speechlessly. "I thought you went to Mihua Elementary School."
"I didn't say I wasn't here for the Emperor Pill, right?" Hui Yuan Ai asked with a teasing expression. "Isn't that right?"
"..." Qianyu rolled his eyes. "Did you do it on purpose..."
"My answer?" Haiyuan Ai raised his eyebrows. "My answer is like Schrödinger's cat."
"..." Qianyu said helplessly. "Then why did you go in the opposite direction from Didan Elementary School?"
"I want to go for a morning jog, are you satisfied with this reason?" Haiyuan Ai calmly gave his reason.
"..." Qianyu covered her face, expressing that she was verbally defeated by Haiyuan Ai.
"Hey," Ayumi looked at Haihara Ai and Qianyu and asked, "Do you live together?"
"Ah?" Qian Yu was slightly stunned. "Uh..."
"We live together," Haiyuan Ai replied without changing his expression. "I am his tenant. Is there any problem?"
"Huh?" Ayumi was stunned. "Do you live in the same house?"
"???" Qian Yu was stunned, and then she realized. "You are asking if we are neighbors, right..."
"Is Haibara-san a relative of yours? A cousin or something?" Mitsuhiko asked.
"..." Qianyu hesitated for a moment, and then chose the safest way - to push the question to Haiyuan Ai. "She will tell you."
"I'm his distant cousin," Haihara Ai's answer made Qianyu stunned for a moment, and then he changed his poker face again. "I'm living with him temporarily."
When saying this, Haihara Ai kept staring at Qian Yu, the meaning in his eyes was very clear - don't destroy the settings I made.
While in class, Qianyu began to realize what kind of tenant he had brought home.
Having surpassed the literary reserves of myself and Conan, my conversation seems more mature than that of Conan and myself... Haibara Ai, who are you?
...
After school, Qianyu was about to go home, but was stopped by Ayumi. "Qianyu-kun, wait a minute, don't leave yet!" Beside her, Genta, Mitsuhiko and a reluctant Conan were looking at him.
"?" Qianyu raised his eyebrows.
"Um...can you please join us and ask Haibara Ai to join the Junior Detective Team? She looks very smart too!" Ayumi asked, clasping her hands together.
"Okay," Qianyu glanced at the back door. "However, Haihara Ai seemed to have walked out just now."
"Yes, so let's chase her quickly!" After saying that, Ayumi ran out first. Qianyu sighed and had no choice but to follow quickly.
"Haihara classmate?" Ayumi chased after Haihara Ai. "Shall we go home with you?"
Haiyuan Ai stopped and glanced at Ayumi behind him. After a moment of silence, he looked at Qian Yu again.
Qianyu curled his lips and shrugged, indicating that it was not his idea and he should not ask himself.
Haibara Ai glanced at Ayumi again, who looked expectant, and pointed at Qianyu - I live with him, do I need you to accompany me?
"But," Ayumi glanced at Qianyu, and then understood what Haibara Ai meant. "We have never been to Qianyu's home... Although it is near the doctor's house, we have never visited. Can we
Do you want to go to your and Qianyu’s home together?”
This statement...Qianyu's brows twitched. Why does it feel a bit amusing?
Haihara Ai didn't care about the subtle ambiguity, but looked at Qianyu - you make up your mind.
"Come and sit at my house," Qianyu shrugged. "Let's have dinner by the way. I have plenty of ingredients and can satisfy everyone's appetite."
On the way to the shoe cabinet, just like what Qian Yu had experienced, the Junior Detective Team once again planned to expand its membership.
"Young Detective Team? You guys?" Haibara Ai stopped at the shoe cabinet and looked at Genta and others. "It seems that Edogawa-san and Chiba-san have also joined?"
"Well!" Genta put his hands on the shoulders of Qianyu and Conan. "They are all my subordinates!"
Later, Yuantai opened his shoe cabinet. "Every day, commissions are put into my shoe cabinet, because this is the place where commission letters from the Junior Detective Team are dropped!"
After opening the shoe cabinet, there was nothing inside except Yuantai's shoes.
"Ah..." Yuantai smiled awkwardly. "It seems that today is an exception..."
"Then let's go to my house to eat, or do you want to go play football first?" Qianyu asked.
"Eat!" Genta replied while quickly putting on his shoes. "Huh?"
Chapter completed!
