Chapter 106: Stop stripping yourself of your own clothes. Please vote for me (づ￣3￣)づ╭～

 Next door, Jiang Xia’s house.

Jiang Xia is planning a plan to climb the wall at night.

Before I could think about it, the doorbell suddenly rang.

 He opened the door and found that the person who came was actually Hui Yuan Ai. The little girl stood at the door of his house with a sad and sorrowful expression. She almost had the four characters "I come to die" written on her forehead.

Huiyuan Ai raised his head and glanced at Jiang Xia, and asked in a low voice: "...Don't tell them I'm here."

Jiang Xia was startled, and gradually understood the subtext of Haiyuan's sad words - she seemed to firmly believe that Jiang Xia recognized her identity just like Conan in KTV.

 Jiangxia: “…”

 …Why do two of them take off their vests to show him?

Does he seem to be a keen horse-picker?

Jiang Xia looked at the decisive Hui Yuan Ai and sighed with a slight disappointment - the fun he had just picked up was gone.

 He touched Hui Yuan Ai's head listlessly: "Okay. But in exchange, you have to pretend that you don't know me—today is our first meeting."…

Jiang Xia quickly finalized the py deal and turned back to the house, planning to continue rolling ghost mints.

Haiyuan Ai looked at his back and was stunned: "..."

 Wait a minute...something's wrong!

How come such a serious matter ended in just two sentences?

On the way here, Hui Yuan Ai was mentally prepared to die on the street.

 So now, with this comparison, she is much bolder than usual.

She opened the door and chased Jiang Xia's home. She hugged his arm and wanted to ask clearly: "You..."

"I have never received the task of taking you back." Jiang Xia nipped a series of questions in their bud the moment she spoke.

—When he entered the door just now, Jiang Xia vaguely saw Dr. Ali carrying something, pushed the door open, and walked towards him.

If Haibara Ai’s lines are too long, Dr. Agasa may hear the rest.

 …

Jiang Xia then said concisely: "Work is work, life is life. Before I got a job, I just wanted to spend every day peacefully like an ordinary high school student. So, if possible, I hope you won't always be with me." Bring up organization matters in front of me.”

Hui Yuan Ai looked at him and was stunned.

That terrifying and cold-blooded organization that seems to be everywhere, in Jiang Xia's eyes... is just a job? ?

　　… Before Jiang Xia disliked her so much, was it not because he was resenting his parents, but because in Jiang Xia's eyes, he was just a side leader who might cause him to work overtime at any time?

  “...” Thinking about it this way, it is true that there were several times when she lost something and Jiang Xia helped to find it...

Thinking of this, Haiyuan Ai suddenly felt guilty and a little guilty: "I..."

 “Xiao Ai! You didn’t bring your lunch box.”

Dr. Ali's loud voice came from the door.

 “…” Haiyuan Ai froze. She remembered the agreement she had just made to "help Jiang Xia cover her waistcoat" and swallowed the words silently.

Her impression of Jiang Xia was clearly that of a work machine with strict rules, a focus on organization, no desire to survive, no emotions, and an occasional tendency to self-destruct.

 Why do I seem to see a young salted fish now?

Haihara Ai silently hugged her head, feeling that the world had become strange.

 …

Dr. Ali walked into the room and felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

 He ​​touched the back of his head in confusion, put down his lunch box, and then looked at Haihara Ai in confusion: "What happened to you just now? You suddenly rushed out without taking the lunch box..."

 “It’s nothing.” Haiyuan Ai instantly changed back to a cold and calm expression.

She straightened her hair, which had been messed up just now, and tried to fix it:

“I just didn’t expect that there would be people who could accept the idea of ​​‘adults becoming smaller’ without any hindrance... I thought no one would accept my research, so I was a little excited for a moment.”

 “That’s right.” Dr. Ali nodded with deep understanding—he understands! It's probably like meeting a soulmate. As a weirdo inventor, he really understands.

only…

Dr. Ali pointed at himself and said softly: "Well, don't I accept your theory too..."

"You are different. You are older and are more receptive to this kind of strange power and chaos than others." Haiyuan Ai's eyes passed by the doctor and fell on Jiang Xia. She found that Jiang Xia had been attracted by the fragrance of rice. , opened the lunch box.

Her eyes softened a little, then she turned and walked toward the door, taking the doctor away with her while instilling falsehoods:

"Young people are the representatives of the trend of the times. Jiang Xia can accept this, which shows that my research direction is very promising... By the way, you haven't told Kudo Shinichi about me yet."

Dr. Ali was completely led by Haiyuan Ai. When the little girl said this, he immediately forgot about the topic and replied: "Not yet."

 Dr. A Li originally wanted to tell Conan.

But Huiyuan Ai woke up faster than he thought. The doctor was obsessed with taking care of this newly found little girl, and experienced the joy of being an old father, temporarily forgetting about it.

"That's just right." Haiyuan Ai walked on the street, turned around and gave the doctor a smile of unknown meaning, "Don't tell him yet, I want to contact him myself, is that okay?"
