Haibara Ai has never been a child with a sense of security. She was like this when she was Miyano Shiho, and she is still like this after becoming the child Haibara Ai.
Ever since the last time she didn't recognize Numabuchi Kiichiro immediately in the forest, she has been thinking about a question.
How long can she keep it secret?
If it hadn't been for Hara Jiaming's help in intercepting the IP address, her whereabouts would have been reported to the organization and everyone would have died. Then she met Gin by chance and was blocked by him on the rooftop of the Cupido Hotel. If it hadn't been for Kuroki Jin's repeated interference
With Edogawa arriving in time, she might have died there on the spot.
During the recent period, Haiyuan Ai has always had the feeling that a storm is coming, as if there are countless tentacles in the darkness waiting for the opportunity to touch her.
The feeling of waiting for a crisis to come was not pleasant, so she made a decision after much thought not long ago:
She wants to confess to Kuroki Jin.
This sounds like a joke. If Edogawa and Dr. Agasa know her thoughts, they will definitely stop her. But Haibara Ai can definitely tell herself that this is not impulsive.
No one is more suitable than Kuroki Jin.
And...if the situation is really out of control, she might be able to save the lives of these people by actively returning to the organization.
Rather than being caught by someone in the dark, she is more willing to believe that the gentleness and kindness shown by Kuroki Jin are not fake.
If it were him, he would not watch the doctor and these children being killed. Even if it was still impossible in the end, he would try his best.
Haibara Ai was confident that she knew Kuroki Jin a little bit, so she took the initiative to reveal to Kuroki Jin that she and Edogawa were smarter than ordinary children, and that led to more interactions and increasingly uncomfortable feelings in daily life.
Cover yourself up etc.
Thinking about this all the way, they soon arrived at Bumi's neighbor's house. The person who received her was a beautiful middle-aged woman, who also taught Bumi how to place Dolls' Day dolls every day.
It was the first time for Jin Kuroki to see such a large display of Hinamatsuri dolls, and he looked at the Dolls wrapped tightly in boxes one by one. It was the first time that he wanted to learn about the culture of his country.
.
But this thought soon faded away in the woman's next narration.
He found that he still preferred to do things with his hands, and going around in circles from historical extensions to cultural circles was boring to him.
When the actual arrangement started, Kuroki Jin was sitting by the window and sending emails. Conan and Haibara Ai gathered together and muttered without knowing what they were talking about, while Mitsuhiko and Genta witnessed the installation together.
The whole process of placing beautiful dolls.
Kuroki Jin checked his email and found that after he was given a vacation as he thought, he felt uncomfortable. He always felt like he had nothing to do and was so bored that he almost fell asleep.
Just when he was really about to fall asleep, Conan's exclamation woke him up.
"Mad scientist?!"
"Keep your voice down——"
"Huh?" Kuroki Ren glanced over and saw Conan looking at him in a panic.
"Wow, okay, okay!"
Mitsuhiko and Genta clapped at the same time.
Their voices caught Kuroki Jin's attention. He glanced over there and found that Ayumi had already finished arranging the dolls for the Women's Day.
"It's really good." Kuroki Jin sincerely praised, while Haibara Ai on the other hand gave Conan a fierce look.
She wanted to confess, but not in this way!
"In this case, I will call the courier to come to your door later to help transport the things to Bumei's home."
The middle-aged woman walked in and said with a smile. There was an old woman beside her, looking at the row of Dolls' Day dolls with nostalgia.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged woman discussed with Bumi and wanted to keep these dolls here for a while, and then give them to Bumi after the Women's Day this year.
Bumi naturally agreed. After hearing this, the woman warmly invited everyone to stay for dinner, but she had no ingredients at home and needed to buy them outside.
"I won't stay." Kuroki Ren said with a smile, "It's getting late, I want to go back first."
It was just their first meeting, so Kuroki was unfamiliar with the family and did not want to stay and participate in their family affairs.
"Hey... Brother Ren, are you going back now?" Ayumi looked disappointed when she heard this. Mitsuhiko and Genta couldn't bear it, so they came forward to act coquettishly and wanted to keep him.
Kuroki Jin frowned slightly, took a step back in pain and covered his abdomen.
"Brother Ren is injured." Conan reminded the two men in a low voice. They immediately put their hands behind their backs as if they had done something wrong and did not dare to touch him, and stared at Kuroki Ren nervously.
"It's nothing serious." He patted the back of Conan's head gently, "I'm just a little uncomfortable. I want to go back and have a rest. Please pay attention to the time and go home early."
It's not dark yet, and the sun hasn't even set yet. It's really not the time for these naughty kids to worry about their safety.
Kuroki Jin said goodbye and left. Conan recovered from his stiffness and touched the back of his head.
So good... He almost thought he would be shot in the head.
"Haiyuan... Huh? Where is Huiyuan?"
On the street outside, Kuroki Ren also looked at Haibara Ai who had followed him with a strange look on his face. He was a little unsure about what she meant by following him.
Haibara Ai, however, showed no expression, and said in a tone as if chatting about the weather: "Did you hear what Edogawa and I just said?"
"Huh? What?"
"You heard what the mad scientist said."
Kuroki Ren didn't know why Haihara Ai mentioned this matter again. He nodded and said, "I heard it, and then what?"
"Of course..." Haibara Ai was stuck for a moment, that is the mad scientist Miyano Hiroshi! The biological father of the organization traitor Shirley, do you not care so much?!
At times like this, wouldn't the common approach be to remain calm and then ask insinuatingly what they just discussed will affect that person?
"Mad scientist, is this kind of title common in academia?" Kuroki Jin looked confused, "I remember Dr. Ari is also a scientist, does he have any title?"
Hui Yuan Ai: "..."
"Ah, by the way, why did you mention this? Did Dr. Ali talk to you after attending some academic seminar?"
Forgot, Kuroki Jin is an academic idiot.
Come to think of it, the information about Shirley that was shown to him at the beginning did not include detailed information about her parents who were on the organization's taboo list, so it was just a name on it.
As for mad scientist, it was a title given to her father within the academic community. It was her fault to use it to embarrass Kuroki Jin.
Hui Yuan Ai... Even if he tried to persuade himself in this way, his mentality would explode.
