"no!"
Shiho flatly refused: "How can a drug that hasn't undergone clinical trials be given to humans?"
"But--"
Conan looked to Natsume for help.
Although Shiho's words made perfect sense, he simply couldn't wait.
After all, he knew that clinical trials for drugs take years, and it might take more than a decade to complete the trials!
He doesn't have the mindset to wait that long!
"Hmm~"
Xia Ye stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and said:
"I can give you a prototype antidote, but you have to answer one question for me!"
Conan is destined to be the protagonist, so Natsume isn't worried that Shiho's medicine will kill him. Giving him a few pills to be a guinea pig is a good idea.
After all, Shiho needed to collect experimental data.
"what is the problem?"
Conan suppressed his overwhelming joy and asked cautiously.
Where is Shuichi Akai?
Xia Ye looked at Conan and said calmly:
"I know that Yusaku Kudo definitely has information about Shuichi Akai, and you probably know that too. Tell me, and I'll give you the antidote!"
"..."
Conan frowned deeply.
Why is Natsume asking about Shuichi Akai's whereabouts?
Is it something that could harm him?
Conan is still a bit green.
Natsume and Shiho exchanged a glance, already knowing that Shuichi Akai was still alive.
As for where he is now, it doesn't really matter!
"Shiho, give him the antidote!"
Shiho nodded gently and sat up from Natsume's arms.
I went back to the lab and got a small box.
Conan's gaze was fixed on the box in Shiho's hand; nothing else mattered, just like a puppy seeing a bone.
There are six pills in here—
Shiho placed the small tin box on the coffee table and explained:
"This is just a trial version of the antidote. Its effects are very short-lived. It will probably only turn you back into a high school student's body for about 24 hours, and then you'll revert back to your original state!"
"And don't think that just taking one more pill will be enough. Continuous use will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the medicine, and may even lead to drug resistance. If you can't control yourself, don't blame me if it doesn't work after the real antidote is developed!"
"I understand!"
Conan quickly grabbed the antidote and put it in his arms.
I don't know if she listened to Shiho's explanation or not.
Xia Ye guessed he probably wrote it down, but whether this guy would actually follow it was hard to say.
After all, he's Conan!
However, Xia Ye was too lazy to remind him anymore.
Shiho has already explained.
If he doesn't listen, he'll have to bear the consequences himself.
"Xia Ye, I'll head back now!"
Conan, eager to test the antidote's effects, got up to say goodbye.
"Is there anything else?" Xia Ye asked.
"there is none left!"
Conan shook his head.
He originally wanted to ask more questions about the Black Organization.
But before we came, my father had told me that even if Xia Ye was a spy for the Suzuki Group in the organization and was considered half one of our own, we should proceed gradually and not be too hasty in obtaining information from him.
Conan then gave up on the idea.
"Then you should go back."
Xia Ye waved her hand, as if to say goodbye.
"it is good!"
After Conan left, Shiho was a little worried:
"Is this alright, Xia Ye? That's a semi-finished product that's only been tested on mice?"
She wasn't worried about Conan; she was worried that if something happened to Conan, Yukiko would be heartbroken.
After all, Yukiko still cares a lot about this son, and their relationship is so close that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them family. She couldn't bear to see Yukiko sad.
"It's okay~"
Xia Ye reached out and pulled her into her arms again, smiling as she said, "Conan will definitely be fine, so just focus on collecting the experimental data~"
"Hmm~"
Shiho nodded.
I stopped worrying about Conan.
The plot of this world went off track from the moment she met Natsume, and now her only connection to Conan is Yukiko.
The fact that they're showing any concern is only out of respect for Yukiko.
Since Xia Ye says she's fine, then she's fine.
...
Three days passed.
Tokyo is slowly recovering from its trauma.
In the eyes of Tokyo residents.
The chaos that night is now just something to talk about when we chat.
After all, life goes on.
That day—
Teitan High School held its school festival.
The school festival is open to everyone, including students and teachers who are not from Teitan High School.
Because Natsume and Ran are performing in a stage play, quite a few people came to the school festival this year!
Eri Kisaki, of course, came.
After all, one of these two people is her daughter, and the other is her man. If they don't come, they will be severely punished!
Not only her, but also Yukiko, Yoko Okino, and even Kazuha came all the way from Osaka.
They said they couldn't miss Xiaolan's amazing performance!
The performance proceeded smoothly without any major setbacks.
The murder that appeared in the original storyline did not happen, so it was a happy ending for everyone.
Xia Ye had been on guard all along.
But it's good that nothing happened~
After the performance.
On the campus of Teitan High School.
Ran and Sonoko accompanied Natsume and Kazuha to the school festival.
The most prestigious private high school.
School festivals are more than just performances.
With the strong support of the school, the students built a street directly on campus.
All the elements commonly found in anime and manga school festivals, such as food stalls, video game stalls, maid cafes, and haunted houses, are here!
"So many people!"
Feeling the lively atmosphere around her, Kazuha couldn't help but sigh:
"It's more lively than our school!"
"Oh, there aren't any school festivals in Osaka?"
Xia Ye was a little curious. Isn't this a standard feature on school campuses in Japanese anime?
Yes, there is!
Kazuha pouted, "It's just that Osaka is too traditional, the school festival is a bit solemn, not as lively as in the Kanto region!"
"Then enjoy it!"
Xiao Lan, holding He Ye's small hand, said with a grin:
We'll play with you!
"it is good!"
"Oh, right, Kazuha~"
Xia Ye suddenly asked, "You came to Tokyo this time not just to see Xiao Lan's performance, right? There must be something else going on?"
"How did you know?"
Kazuha looked at Natsuha, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
"Silly girl, even Xiaolan and Yuanzi noticed you were hesitant to speak for so long~" Xia Ye affectionately pinched her little nose and said with a smile:
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Seeing that her two friends, Ran and Sonoko, were both trying not to laugh, Kazuha blushed and said:
"Heiji is planning to invite Uncle Mori and Conan to Osaka to help with the case, so I thought I'd also invite Ran, Sonoko, and Natsume to Osaka for a visit. After all, you've entertained me several times in Tokyo, and I want to repay you properly!"
"What are you talking about repaying or not!"
Xiao Lan reached out and poked He Ye's slender waist, scolding her playfully:
"We're friends, why are you saying such things!"
"that is!"
Yuanzi chimed in from the side.
"However, going to Osaka for fun is still a great idea, don't you think, Natsume?"
"Row!"
Xia Ye agreed.
Gin has been trying to find things to do lately.
It would be good to leave Tokyo for a few days.
"Great!"
Kazuha secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
My plan is half successful.
