In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Page 92

"You said it yourself, that's Shinichi~" Xia Ye chuckled, "Boys need to experience the harsh realities of life firsthand so they can become true men. Girls are different; they need constant care and protection, kept away from all bad things, and allowed to grow up in the best environment~"

"That's a double standard!"

Yukiko's beautiful eyes shone with a righteous gaze.

"You sexist!"

"Yeah, I do like girls?"

"what happened?"

Xia Ye readily admitted to her double standards.

"nothing!"

Yukiko covered her forehead. This guy reads a shonen detective manga and only likes the female characters. It's ridiculous for me to argue with him about gender equality...

Xia Ye glanced at the Teitan High School building again, fastened his seatbelt, and said:

"Let's go then!"

"You really think of me as your driver?"

Yukiko glared at Natsume with resentful eyes, then angrily started the car.

"Where?"

"Mihua Hotel~"

"squeak--!"

The car that had just driven off was brought to a stop by (Wang Nuo's) slamming on the brakes. Yukiko blushed and said angrily, "Who goes to a hotel so early in the morning? Be serious!"

Xia Ye grinned mischievously and took out her phone: "Oh, so we can go tonight, right? I'll book a hotel right now, a high-end couple's suite, quiet environment, comfortable waterbed, wow, that's really nice!"

"No orders allowed!"

Yukiko snatched Natsume's phone away.

"I don't like hotel addicts!"

"I don't like hotels~"

Xia Ye put her hands behind her head and smiled, "Then let's go home~"

"Seriously!" Yukiko gave him a charming glare and tossed the phone back to him. "Ai said you have important business to attend to today!"

"Okay~"

Xia Ye stopped teasing her and checked it on her phone.

"Let's go to 1-chome. I opened a company there, and I wonder how things are going with my people. I'll go check on them today."

"Good~"

Yukiko stepped on the gas, and the Alfa Romeo roared toward 1-chome.

Chapter 84: Yukiko and Vermouth's... Love Triangle?

Teitan High School, Class 2-B.

Xiaolan's seat was already surrounded by her classmates.

"Mouri, I heard you brought two pretty and cute little sisters to school. Where are they now?"

"Yes, Jianye said you also went to the board of directors' office. Are they relatives of one of the board members?"

"what is going on?"

"Tell us about it!"

Faced with her classmates' overflowing curiosity, Xiaolan smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough!"

Ran is really looking forward to seeing how Ai and Akemi will react when they find out they're coming to high school.

"Mouri, you're such a tease!"

Seeing that even the usually understanding Xiaolan was starting to keep everyone in suspense, everyone became even more curious!

"Quiet down, everyone go back to your seats!"

Mr. Tanaka, the homeroom teacher of Class 2-B, pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Ai and Akemi.

"These two are Ai Haibara and Ai Haibara, sisters. From today onwards, they will be our classmates. Okay, please introduce yourselves!"

The students below erupted in cheers!

"classmate!?"

"They don't look very old, do they?"

"It's not just that they're not big; they're a middle school student, an elementary school student..."

"It doesn't matter. She's so pretty, what's the big deal about skipping a grade in high school!"

"Wait, is there any necessary connection between being pretty and skipping grades?"

"..."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Mr. Tanaka slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Quiet down, all of you! Don't scare the new students!"

The classroom gradually quieted down. Mingmei stepped forward, bowed slightly, and with a serene smile on her face, began to introduce herself:

"Hello everyone, I'm Ai Haibara. My sister and I just transferred back to Japan from abroad. Please take good care of me from now on~"

Wow, it feels so gentle!

"Indeed, he does resemble the Mori!"

"And she's very pretty too. 693 is in for a treat. A beautiful girl with long, straight black hair!"

The boys in the classroom could no longer contain their excitement and began to chatter. Of course, the girls weren't much better off; most of them were staring at Ai's delicate and cute face, wishing they could pinch it.

"Well, Ai Haibara can sit next to Naoko Takei~" Ms. Tanaka pointed to an empty seat in the first row of the classroom.

"Okay, teacher~"

Akemi gave her sister a "do your best" look, then sat down next to the pretty girl who looked a little melancholy. She greeted her confidently, "Hello, Takei-kun, we'll be deskmates from now on, nice to meet you~"

"Ah~"

Naoko Takei was surprised by Akemi's cheerfulness, but she was quickly charmed by the gentle smile on her face and said softly, "You too, Haibara-san, nice to meet you!"

"Alright, next up is Ai Haibara. Please introduce yourself!" Teacher Tanaka looked at Ai, encouragingly saying, "Don't be too shy, your classmates are all very welcoming!"

Ai blinked, her delicate face still cool and aloof:

"I'm Ai Haibara, nice to meet you~"

After a brief self-introduction, Ai didn't wait for Ms. Tanaka to assign seats; she walked directly off the podium to the empty seat next to Ran.

"Huh? Haibara-san, that seat—" Before Tanaka-sensei could react, Ai's self-introduction was over, and then he saw her walking towards Shinichi Kudo's seat, instinctively wanting to stop her.

"It's okay~"

Xiaolan stood up and said:

"Tanaka-sensei, Shinichi is on a long leave of absence, so let Ai sit here. As for Shinichi, we can have him change seats when he comes back!"

"Alright~"

Mr. Tanaka thought for a moment.

Indeed, Shinichi Kudo has taken a long leave of absence, leaving a vacancy. It would be good for Ai Haibara to use it for now.

only--

Given Ai Haibara's height, could she see the blackboard while sitting there?

When the higher-ups assigned these two sisters to their class, they said they were two geniuses who would have no problem getting into high school. I don't know if that's true or not.

Ai sat down next to Ran.

A mischievous smile appeared on Xiaolan's pretty face as she stretched out her little hand: "Ai, nice to meet you!"

Ai rolled her eyes at her, but still extended her hand to shake hers, smiling faintly as she said, "Nice to meet you~"

And so, Ai and Akemi's high school life began.

......

Beikacho 1-chome.

A six-story building not far from the Mihana Central Building.

This place used to be a car dealership belonging to Masuyama Automobile Company, but now it has been rented by Ryosuke Akahara and his team to serve as the headquarters of their security company.

By the way, the owner of Masuyama Automobile Company is Kenzo Masuyama, codenamed Pisco, a veteran of the organization, and now the organization's front man in Tokyo, a well-known entrepreneur, and a "big shot in the financial world."

After Ryosuke Akahara took a liking to this building, it was Natsume who personally called Pisco and used some connections to finally rent it.

"This place is nice!"

Yukiko parked the car and walked towards the gate with Natsume. She looked around and smiled in approval.

"It's okay~"

Xia Ye was very satisfied with the place; there was nothing to criticize about either the location or the building itself.

"Headquarters is the face of a company, so of course it needs to be a good location."

"That's true."

Yukiko nodded in agreement.

As the two approached the door, two security guards, still dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, quickly came forward, bowing respectfully and saying, "Brother, you've arrived!"

These security guards, who originally belonged to the organization, voluntarily followed Xia Ye to start the company. Now that their lives and fortunes are in his hands, they naturally respect him even more than they did in the organization.

"Noguchi, Tok, where's your boss?"

Xia Ye casually called out their names, and the two looked excited. They usually wore black clothes and sunglasses and looked similar, but they didn't expect that Brother Roland would recognize them!

So touching!

"Big brother, the boss is in the office upstairs, but—" Noguchi glanced at Yukiko next to Natsume, then hesitated.

"what happened?"

Xia Ye knew he wanted to avoid Yukiko, so she ignored him and asked directly:

"problem occurs?"

"No, no!"

Noguchi quickly denied it, but seeing that Brother Roland didn't seem to care about the woman beside him, he immediately understood what he meant. So he whispered, "Brother, actually, your teacher came to the company, and the boss is upstairs receiving her..."

"Teacher? What's she doing here?"

Natsume and Yukiko exchanged a glance. What a coincidence, Vermouth has also come over?

Yukiko has already said that Vermouth confronted her yesterday, and the two talked about many related things, including Natsume.

"Brother, I don't know that!"

Noguchi had a bitter face. He thought that Roland was so approachable that he probably didn't even remember the way the big shots in the organization operated. What did a nobody like him have to know about what those big shots were up to?

"Never mind, I'll go up myself. Which floor is it?" Xia Ye didn't want to make things difficult for him and decided to go ask herself.

"Fifth floor, the elevator is this way, brother, do you want me to show you the way?" Noguchi pointed out the direction to Natsume and then asked.

"Never mind, you guys get to work, I'll go up myself."

Xia Ye smiled and refused, then led Yukiko toward the elevator in the center of the building.

“Natsume, I think they all seem to be carrying guns—” Yukiko looked surprised. “Is this okay?”

"Don't worry, they have legal gun licenses~" Xia Ye said, indicating that there was no problem: "They are all professional security guards with clean records and no criminal history. Otherwise, why would I have brought them out to start a company?"

"No criminal record?" Yukiko's mouth dropped open in disbelief. "You mean none of these people have any criminal records?"

"That's right!"

Xia Ye smiled and whispered in her ear, "Silly girl, even if they've done dirty work, as long as they don't reveal their identities, it'll be fine. As for those whose identities have been exposed, they won't be here anyway."

"Oh!"
