"Waaah... Ran! You... you idiot!"
Sonoko and Ran were piled on top of each other, and as their bodies moved back and forth, she shouted, "I knew it... I knew it would be like this!!"
"Ugh... Weren't... weren't we supposed to... cheer up Ai?"
Ran choked, biting her finger: "You... you didn't keep your word!"
"I always keep my word... It's just that Ai hasn't come back yet."
After Lin Yi said that, he stopped attacking Ran and turned to attack Sonoko, who was chanting.
"Ah... idiot! Stop it! It'll be terrible if that child sees us..."
...
"Don't follow me."
Ai waved impatiently, trying to drive away the three annoying children. She had already said she didn't want to join the Detective Boys, but they insisted on pestering her to join.
This way of forcing others to join without listening to their opinions, what's the difference between it and the organization?
"Haibara, won't you really consider it?"
Teacher Kobayashi has already asked her to befriend Ai Haibara. Ayumi refused to give up so easily and persuaded, "Joining the Detective Boys means lots of interesting things will happen."
"Yeah, yeah, and you just transferred here, so you must be very unfamiliar with this place. Joining the Detective Boys is the fastest way to integrate into this school."
Mitsuhiko was the most mature of the three, so he was already fascinated by Ai's beauty.
He hasn't even started being friends with her yet, and he's already agonizing over whether to choose Ayumi or Ai.
"We can also go eat eel rice together."
Although Genta doesn't know what love is, his sixth sense as a boy tells him that he must do this.
As for Conan, he's definitely watching the show from the sidelines. He hasn't been reduced to the point of forcing others to join the group with children.
Looking at these three little brats pestering her endlessly, Ai felt a headache—she now somewhat agreed with Lin Yi, children are simply impossible to communicate with.
"If you continue to follow me, I'll call the police."
Ai threatened, "I'll have the police arrest you all and lock you up in jail."
"No, we haven't committed any crimes, the police won't arrest us," Ayumi said.
"That's right, at most it'll just be a verbal education," Mitsuhiko nodded.
"Yeah! Yeah!" Genta echoed.
"..."
Ai didn't say anything, silently taking out her phone as she walked: "Looks like I can only tell Teacher Kobayashi that you're harassing me."
Ayumi and the others immediately stopped and didn't dare to take another step forward.
"Haibara... we won't follow you anymore... don't tell the teacher."
"Haibara... isn't that a bit too much?"
"Haibara... won't you really come with us to eat eel rice?"
Ai didn't even bother to reply, and the three of them could only watch her back get further and further away.
Unable to complete the task assigned by the teacher, Ayumi was a little anxious. She hurriedly asked Conan, "Conan! Think of a way!"
"That's right! As a member of the Detective Boys, you're just watching like this," Mitsuhiko said dissatisfied.
"If you do that again, we won't take you to eat eel rice next time," Genta snorted twice.
Conan was full of question marks. Did he do anything wrong?
Forget it, he couldn't be bothered to argue with children.
Conan said, "What's the rush? Let Haibara go home and think about it. Maybe she'll figure it out on her own? Anyway, she'll still come to school tomorrow, she can't run away."
"That won't do! Things that need to be done today can't be left until tomorrow!" Ayumi muttered dissatisfied.
"Ah... is that so."
Conan nodded, then turned and left, not in the mood to bother others with them: "Then you guys can handle it yourselves, I have to go back and do my homework."
Genta was about to come up and force Conan to go with them.
Conan immediately said, "I can go with you... but Genta, you have to help me with my homework."
Genta stopped immediately. He didn't even want to do his own homework, how could he help Conan with his homework?
Conan had already figured out these children. He still had to rush home to video chat with his dad and ask about the progress of the investigation into those men in black, where would he have time to wander around with them.
The three children looked at each other, and finally Mitsuhiko said, "How about... we secretly follow her? At least... we should know where Haibara lives, right?"
— — — — — — — — — — — —
I wonder if this guy is honestly doing what I told him to do.
Ai came out of the convenience store, where she bought some magazines to pass the time.
Although Ai has many opinions and views on Lin Yi, it is undeniable that his craftsmanship is really top-notch.
It's much tastier than the restaurants outside.
It's just that this guy is too lazy. After cooking only a few meals for himself, he started ordering takeout.
He even said some nonsense like, "You're a mature and steady child now, you should learn to cook for yourself."
After wandering around aimlessly for a few steps, Ai felt something was wrong. She frowned and looked back, and saw three children hiding behind a telephone pole.
"Sigh…"
Ai sighed, further solidifying her idea: I absolutely can't let them know where I live, or else I won't have any peace in the future.
She directly raised her hand and hailed a taxi, got in, and left.
Ayumi and the others could only watch helplessly as the taxi drove away.
After getting out of the car and paying, Ai took out her key and opened the door.
After entering the entrance hall, she smelled a fragrance, which brought a smile to Ai's expressionless face.
Hmph, I'll give him credit for being considerate.
Taking off her shoes, Ai walked towards the living room and said, "I'm back."
"Oh, you're back."
Suddenly, two high school girls appeared in Ai's field of vision, which stunned her for a moment.
"You're Ai, right? You're really cute."
The short-haired high school girl was a little unrestrained. After seeing her, she couldn't help but come over and pick her up.
"You really look like a doll."
The long-haired high school girl was poking her own cheek.
What exactly is going on?
Ai couldn't help but look at Lin Yi, who was busy preparing the meal in the kitchen.
Lin Yi said with a smile, "Ai, this is Sonoko-neechan and Ran-neechan… After hearing that you've been depressed all day and unwilling to speak, they came specifically to enlighten you."
I'm perfectly healthy, I don't need anyone to enlighten me!
Looking at these two high school girls treating her like a rag doll, Ai felt a little helpless.
