Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 204 Shy Little Ai

"Why, great detective, is it possible that you are not interested in this thief at all?"

Seeing that Conan didn't care about this thief at all, and even just glanced at the secret code casually without paying any further attention, Xiao Ai looked at him with some confusion.

Aren't detectives supposed to be very interested in secret codes and thieves? Why does Conan seem completely unconcerned?

Moreover, this wasn't just any ordinary Phantom Thief. Not long ago, Vermouth had appeared before them as this Phantom Thief! Perhaps this Phantom Thief had some connection to the organization!

"I can't say I'm not interested... Ai, tell me, if I want to barbecue on the roof, what should I do? Should I set up a grill or a small bonfire?"

Conan was very interested in Kaito Kid, mainly because of his superb disguise skills and voice-changing abilities. If he could learn a few tricks from him, the Bowtie Voice Changer would probably be able to retire completely!

Moreover, compared to this, he was actually more curious about whether Koizumi Akako existed in this world. If so, was she just an ordinary charlatan or a real wizard who could perform magic?

As for Kid himself, Conan said that instead of meeting his cousin, he felt that it would be more interesting to trick his cousin.

"You like to pretend, right? The detective can only follow in your footsteps, right? You're just a critic, right? I want to see if you can still pretend when we meet!"

"? I think it might be better to make a small fire. After all, you may not be able to carry the barbecue grill up there, and it's not easy to grill on the roof."

Although she didn't know what Conan meant, Ai still followed his line of thought and made her own suggestions.

"A small fire? Let's do it then! By the way, Ai, are you interested in Kid himself? Do you want to come with me to meet him then?"

"Forget it. I'm not interested in that kind of uncle. Besides, I think it's better to go to bed early than to stay up all night to meet a thief."

As she spoke, Xiao Ai yawned, with a hint of tiredness on her face.

To be honest, she had experienced a lot today: she ran around with her sisters all day, heard the birthday wishes her mother left for her, and fought several rounds with her sister in order to hide her dark history.

Although he was finally suppressed by his sister, he consumed a lot of physical strength and energy in the process.

Therefore, now, Xiao Ai only feels drowsy and her whole body is filled with fatigue.

"Hmm? Ai, is she tired from playing today? Conan, take her back and have a rest first."

Seeing this, Xiaolan, who was standing by, lowered her voice involuntarily and whispered to Conan.

"Good~"

Hearing this, Conan nodded, quietly carried Ai on his back, and walked towards the room.

Feeling the familiar breath beneath her, Xiao Ai's eyes gradually became blurred, and her little head nods slowly, as if she could fall asleep at any time.

Feeling Ai's head constantly hitting his shoulder, Conan smiled and his movements became gentler, trying his best to prevent Ai from being shaken.

"Well, Conan, if you want me to go with you, I will go with you, as long as, this is your request~"

Feeling Conan's considerate actions, Ai felt her mind becoming more and more hazy. After saying this in a daze, she felt her brain completely shut down, and then she fell into a dream.

Conan was about to say something when he heard the sound of even breathing coming from his back. He shook his head helplessly and took Ai back to the bedroom.

If you have anything to say, you should save it for tomorrow morning! As for tonight, I won't take her to the spiritual space. Let her have a rare good dream. Maybe she can even see her mother in her dream.

On the other side, Xiaolan, who had explained her request to Uncle Maori and left the secret code to her father, tiptoed into Conan's room. She wanted to discuss with Conan privately about the incident with Shinichi that she had met today.

However, when she opened the door and saw Conan lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and Ai behind him, hugging Conan tightly with a faint smile on her lips, Xiaolan stopped.

"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow. For now, let them have a good rest."

Although she felt something was amiss, Xiaolan still closed the door and walked out. Instantly, the room fell into silence. However, she could faintly hear Xiaoai mumbling, calling out to her parents.

Besides, if you listen carefully, you might even be able to hear Conan's name occasionally mixed in with her vague voice.

......

The next day, Xiao Ai, who had a rare good dream, opened her eyes and was in a very happy mood. Although she didn't know what happened, she just felt that her mood was very comfortable, as if she had had a good dream.

However, when she was about to move her body, she found that she was lying quietly on Conan, hugging Conan tightly.

"!"

In an instant, her face turned a little red, and then, when she thought of what she had said in a daze last night, she felt a wave of heat radiating from her face.

Why? I was just sleepy and didn’t drink any alcohol. Why would I say such embarrassing words?

What else, as long as you are willing, I will accompany you, how can she say such words!!!

On the other side, Conan, who had woken up after her action, just lay there, motionless, pretending that he had not woken up yet. He did not want to provoke Ai at this time, lest he get into trouble.

Fortunately, Ai was very calm. After a while, she managed to calm down her inner turmoil, let out a long breath, carefully got off Conan, and walked towards the bathroom. She urgently needed cold water to cool down.

After she left, Conan opened his eyes with a smile and looked at Ai's back. The corners of his mouth rose slightly. Sure enough, shy Ai is also very cute!

The only pity was that the timing just now was not right. Otherwise, he would definitely take a picture of Xiao Ai's shy look and keep it for himself!
