"So, little sister, what's your name?"
“Miya…” Shiho Miyano was about to say her name, but she immediately swallowed the words back. Then, a wary expression appeared on her face. “You, asking my name, what do you want? You’re not trying to kidnap me, are you? I’ve heard that some weird old men these days like girls my age the most!”
Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yuu paused for a moment, then looked up at Miyano Shiho, who was feigning a wary expression, and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Pfft~"
As a result, she was naturally met with a cold face from Shiho Miyano.
But as she turned her head away and sat back down, a blush crept onto her cheeks: "This guy... what's so funny! Ugh!"
……
A few minutes later, Shiho Miyano finally finished her food and then took the cold medicine that Yuu Aragaki had prepared on the table.
Whether it was because of the porridge or the cold medicine, Shiho Miyano felt that her discomfort had been relieved a lot, and she could no longer feel any dizziness or discomfort.
Looking at the casserole dish and her own bowl and chopsticks on the table, she hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the casserole dish and bowl and chopsticks, jumped off the chair, and walked towards the kitchen.
Having already troubled others so much, she naturally felt embarrassed not to do anything in return.
Then, not long after, Shiho Miyano, her face slightly flushed, quietly came out of the kitchen. She secretly glanced at Yuu Aragaki, and seeing that he hadn't noticed her, she carefully dragged a chair from the dining table toward the kitchen.
The sink is too high...
She couldn't quite reach it...
Yuya Aragaki, sitting on the sofa, didn't say anything to stop Shiho Miyano. Hearing the sound of running water coming from the kitchen, he just smiled silently. While scrolling through his phone, he was also weighing the pros and cons of bringing Shiho Miyano back to his home.
Yuu Aragaki certainly wouldn't take Shiho Miyano home just because she was a little girl who had fainted on the street.
Although there are three good things about lolis, Aragaki Yu is not some weird old man with strange fetishes.
He just wanted to see if he could get some plot cases from this future "Ai Haibara" while her defenses were still low, so he could make a good deal of her in advance and ride on her coattails more often in the future.
Since he started having more shikigami, Aragaki Yu realized that he didn't have enough Daruma to go around. He really doesn't know the value of daily necessities when you're not in charge of the household!
……
"I bought you these clothes while you were asleep, go change into them!" Yuu Aragaki pointed to the shopping bags on the coffee table and said to Shiho Miyano, who had just finished cleaning and came out of the kitchen, "Now that you're alright, go change into them yourself."
"Hmm..." Shiho Miyano looked at the shopping bag on the coffee table, hesitated for a moment, but she knew that she couldn't wear this shirt forever, especially since she was wearing nothing underneath. So after saying "hmm", she walked over, picked up the shopping bag, and went back to the room.
In the bedroom.
"Huh?!" Shiho Miyano opened the shopping bag in her hand and looked at the clothes she took out of the bag with slight surprise.
From coats, shirts, and pants to shoes and socks, it really has everything.
Even underwear is included.
Judging from the labels on these items, it is clear that they were indeed recently purchased, just as Aragaki Yu said.
But how come this guy is so skilled? He didn't miss buying anything he needed to buy?
……
Looking at the cute animal patterns on the outfit, her face darkened slightly.
I'm not really a child anymore!
After hesitating for a moment, Shiho Miyano sighed and decided to take off her shirt and change into the clothes that Yuu Aragaki had prepared for her.
You know what...
The size is just right, not too big or too small, just right.
Moreover, Shiho Miyano noticed that although the clothes were not from very expensive brands, the fabrics, whether worn on the outside or underneath, were very soft and clearly carefully selected.
The sight of the warm water on her bedside table when she woke up, the food she ate as soon as she left the house, and the cold medicine she had prepared beforehand all stirred a deep emotion in Shiho Miyano, who had just experienced an incredibly heavy blow.
Although Aragaki Yu didn't say anything special during dinner, he ate the same food as everyone else.
But it was obvious to anyone with eyes that the millet porridge he prepared was suitable for the patient.
Moreover, he never made a fuss about what he had done, as if it were all his duty. From these small details, Shiho Miyano's heart, which had been shattered by her sister's murder, was warmed a little more.
"Although that guy sometimes says things that are a bit off-putting, he's really a good person..."
“Yu Aragaki…” Shiho Miyano murmured the name involuntarily. Something seemed to be going through her mind, and suddenly her face flushed. But then, her brow furrowed slightly. “It’s strange… this name… I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before…”
Chapter 169 What a coincidence, I live here too.
"Is anyone at home? I can help you contact them to come pick you up."
Yuu Aragaki's eyes lit up when he saw Shiho Miyano come out of the room after changing her clothes.
This outfit with a cat pattern, especially the hood of the one-piece jacket which has two fluffy cat ears, is really quite cute.
After lingering at the door of the room for a long time, Shiho Miyano finally made up her mind and walked into the living room. She swore that she had never worn such a silly and cute outfit in her life.
Shiho Miyano walked over to the sofa next to Yuu Aragaki and sat down. After hesitating for a moment, she explained, "I'm staying at a relative's house right now... I don't know their phone number..."
"Hmm, what's the address of my relative's house?"
Seeing the concern in Aragaki Yu's eyes, Miyano Shiho had no choice but to give a random address: "27 Beika-cho 2-chome".
Aragaki Yu: "..."
He looked at Shiho Miyano with surprise as she told lies without batting an eye.
Truly, he didn't blush or even flinch...
"Why don't you double-check the address you gave me?"
"Hmm?" Shiho Miyano looked at Yuu Aragaki, whose expression was strange, and felt a vague sense of unease.
But he still forced himself to repeat the address he had made up on the spot: "Beihana-cho...2-chome...27?"
Aragaki Yu: "..."
Aragaki Yu sighed and helplessly rubbed his forehead.
Goodness, she managed to run into trouble just by making up an address on the spot.
“That really is a coincidence…” Under Shiho Miyano’s puzzled and nervous gaze, Yu Aragaki spoke again.
Miyano Shiho: "..."
Curious, what's so special about it?
Shiho Miyano was completely bewildered. Not knowing what was wrong, she could only stare blankly at Yuu Aragaki, waiting for him to continue.
"Can I say that I also live at 27 Beikacho 2-chome...?"
Also lives at 27 Beikacho 2-chome...
27 Beikacho 2-chome...
Number 27...!?
Shiho Miyano's eyes widened, and she froze on the spot.
Under Aragaki Yu's scrutinizing gaze, she awkwardly lowered her head, unsure of where to look, and could only stare at her toes.
Out of shame and embarrassment, his toes curled up involuntarily, almost carving a three-bedroom, two-living-room hole in the ground.
"..."
The silence at this moment was inexplicably a little awkward.
"Ahem." Aragaki Yu, seemingly worried that Shiho Miyano might dig a hole in his floor, coughed lightly and kindly reminded him, "I think you must have remembered the address wrong. Why don't you think about it carefully again?"
"Um……"
Shiho Miyano, her face flushed with embarrassment, nodded slightly.
"Yes, it's the 21st..."
Having no other choice, Shiho Miyano had to resort to revealing the house number she had accidentally memorized during a previous investigation.
"Okay, wait a moment and I'll take you there."
As Aragaki Yu spoke, his eyes unconsciously narrowed.
I thought that by taking Shiho Miyano home a step ahead of time, he would more or less change the future plot.
But unexpectedly, Shiho Miyano still ended up getting involved with this place.
Yuu Aragaki clearly remembered that 21 Beikacho 2-chome was the address of Shinichi Kudo's family.
In the story, Shiho Miyano, who was hoping to find clues about Shinichi Kudo at Shinichi's house, also collapsed at his doorstep and was eventually picked up by Professor Agasa next door and taken into his home.
Of course, this is exactly what Yuu Aragaki wanted to see.
After all, he had no intention of leaving such a time bomb in his house.
Whether it's Gin and vodka that might appear in your home at any time, or Miyano Akemi, the employee who comes to visit from time to time, they would all be suspicious if they noticed that there was an extra little girl in their home.
Not to mention, she looks exactly like the missing Shiho Miyano when she was a child.
Furthermore, Aragaki Yu himself doesn't have any fetish for raising young girls; for him, simply raising his own shikigami is already a major headache.
Moreover, for Shiho Miyano, Professor Agasa's house was indeed the best place to go.
Shiho Miyano: "Okay..."
She knew very well that if she were sent there by Aragaki Yu, it would be a very troublesome matter if she revealed any flaws.
