If You Want to Sleep Together, Just Say So

Seeing Chizuru Bizen approach, Fujino tucked Haibara Ai Haibara, who was eavesdropping on the gossip, into his arms and slipped behind the restaurant door.

After all, they had secretly followed someone out in the middle of the night.

It would be embarrassing if they found out.

"Seriously, what do I care about the dead?!"

Why do you have to bring up every old, trivial matter?

"Why are you acting like I'm the one who killed him? I didn't kill him!"

Chizuru Bizen stormed out of the restaurant, grumbling, and disappeared down the corridor without looking back.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant behind them...

Mitsuyuki Arimori watched Chizuru Bizen leave, his teeth clenched, his face unusually grim.

After a moment, his expression gradually softened.

As if he had made a decision, he picked up the oil lamp and left the restaurant without looking back.

There seemed to be a hint of determination in his silhouette.

After the two left, Fujino came out from behind the door and put Ai Haibara down from his arms.

"Call..."

Ai Haibara took a deep breath, reached out and tugged at the hem of her clothes, straightened her pajamas, patted her face, and calmed her racing heart.

We went out late at night to eat some melon seeds, and almost got caught...

It was indeed a bit exciting for her.

However, the two of them were some distance from the doorway at the time. Although she had just turned her ear to listen, she didn't hear anything. She only saw the two of them arguing and then leaving angrily.

Eavesdropping is a bit unethical.

But the curiosity of an 18-year-old science and engineering girl couldn't be resisted.

So she turned around and glanced in the direction the two had left, asking with some confusion, "... What's going on with those two?"

"It must be some emotional entanglement."

Fujino also looked down the corridor, pondered for a moment, and analyzed, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Arimori's younger brother, Teruhiko, must have had a relationship with this woman. Although I don't know why they broke up, judging from the fact that she married that man before, they must have broken up. As for Teruhiko's death, judging from the manager's tone, it should be related to this woman."

In other words, they already had a way to die.

In the Conan World, he dares to make enemies everywhere...

I'm afraid he really won't live much longer.

Ai Haibara: "..."

After a moment of silence, and after sorting through her words in her mind, Ai finally understood the relationship between the two.

The cliché plot of abandoning a poor boy and running off with a rich old man?

She thought she could only see such a plot in melodramatic TV dramas...

I never imagined that such a thing actually happened in real life.

Oh right, that woman seems to be an actress.

That's alright then.

That fits her stereotype of that woman quite well.

Back at the guest room door.

Fujino pondered what had just happened, he opened the door, only to Ai Haibara tug at his sleeve from behind.

Fujino turned around and saw Ai Haibara say without changing her expression, "If we go back now, we might wake Sister Akemi up."

"Then, will you come to my room?"

Fujino spoke calmly, unsure of what expression to make.

He seemed too excited, which gave off a "Loli-con" vibe.

It wouldn't be appropriate to just refuse outright.

Just say you want to sleep together...

"Um."

Ai Haibara nodded in response, not daring to raise her head.

Her feelings were somewhat complicated. She didn't quite believe the excuse that she didn't want to wake Sister Akemi, since Akemi Miyano was asleep and no one could wake her up.

But then I thought about it again, given her current physical condition.

Hmm, it'll definitely be seen as a little girl throwing a tantrum, right?

She comforted herself with this thought.

Go to bed early.

Fujino yawned, pushed open the door, lay down on the bed, moved aside to make room for Ai Haibara, then covered himself with the blanket and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Although he knew that the girl next to him was an eighteen-year-old girl, given his current physique, it wasn't enough to keep him awake at night. After all, he wasn't some kind of Loli-con pervert.

Compared to Fujino's composure, the person next to him had more complicated thoughts.

Ai Haibara lay in bed, clutching the edge of the blanket with both hands, her face flushed red, staring at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

She carefully turned over, and when she turned her head, she was met with another sleeping face.

Her face turned even redder.

After a moment, she sighed and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

Just think of it as a little girl being coquettish.

After a night, Fujino slept in late.

I opened my eyes and saw a delicate little face.

A faint, warm breath brushed against my face, carrying a hint of sweetness.

Fujino smiled slightly and pushed the small body away from him.

He got up, changed into his sportswear, and went to the hotel lobby.

"Good morning, Detective Fujino."

As soon as he arrived in the hotel lobby, the Shimo-Kasa Sisters greeted him.

"You're starting preparations so early?"

Fujino took out his phone and glanced at the time. Seeing that it was only a little past six, he couldn't help but ask the two of them.

"That's right, we need to help Miss Shinobu prepare the ingredients."

The Shimo-Kasa Sisters responded with a smile, "We still need to clean the guest rooms afterwards."

"Then you guys go ahead and get busy, I'm going to do my morning exercise first."

Fujino nodded, understanding the hardships faced by the service staff.

After a morning exercise in the countryside, it was already time to get to the hotel.

Fujino strolled around the hotel area for a while before returning to the hotel with a foxtail grass he had just picked from the roadside in his mouth.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Shinobu Shimon had already prepared breakfast for the guests.

Ai Haibara and Akemi Miyano were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

The other two guests, besides Chizuru Bizen, also came to the hotel.

"Baguettes, pasta, and strawberry cake..."

Akemi Miyano looked at the breakfast on the table and couldn't help but ask, "Did Miss Komon make all of this?"

"Um!"

"Miss Zimen made all of these this morning."

"Her cooking skills are truly amazing."

"We are learning too."

The Shimo-Kasa Sisters nodded and smiled in response.

"That's really going too far, Minaho, Honami."

Shinobu Shimon walked over carrying several cups of cream sundaes, and said somewhat shyly and embarrassedly, "Actually, I used to study Western cuisine, but I can only say that my cooking is just average."

"Miss Zimen, your cooking skills are already very good."

Akemi Miyano smiled, then sighed with a strange expression, "Unlike me, I can't even make a proper breakfast and have to trouble Ai for help."

Ai Haibara thought for a moment, but couldn't think of a way to explain how a simple Frozen Fish could turn into a fire-like scene. So she could only comfort her softly, "Sister Akemi- neechan, your talent isn't in this area. For example, your drinks are very delicious."

"Yeah, after all, nobody's perfect."

Shinobu Shimon smiled, then added, "But speaking of which, Ms. Akemi Fujino, do you work in the beverage industry or something similar?"

"Yes, I'm currently running a beverage shop."

Akemi Miyano seemed to have found her home turf. "It's over in Tokyo, and the name is Snow King Ice City."

"Snow King Ice City, I've heard of that beverage shop."

"Well?"

Akemi Miyano was somewhat surprised.

"I heard it from a friend of mine from Tokyo."

Shinobu Shimon explained, "Actually, that beverage shop is well-known in our beverage circle. I heard that the shop has many novel and delicious drinks, and the manager is a beautiful lady. I never expected to meet her today."

She smiled, then added wistfully, "Actually, I've always wanted to open my own shop, carefree..."

"By the way, Miss Zimen, why are you working as the head chef here?"

After watching for a while, Fujino stepped forward and asked curiously, "With Miss Zimen's skills, opening a shop should be very easy, right?"

"I heard he inherited this family-run hotel, so I came to help him."

Shinobu Shimon to look at Fujino and explained, "Because I used to be friends with the manager here, we went Hang Glider together."

"Hang Glider... I used to glide for a while when I was younger, but now my body just couldn't take it anymore."

Cheng Yuan walked in from outside the restaurant at this moment, then looked at everyone and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry about what happened last night. Please don't take it to heart. That's just how my family is. We've also encountered some troubles recently."

"Um, hasn't Chizuru come out yet?"

The president of the talent agency, named Kota Miyabe, walked over and asked Shiromoto in a low voice.

"She hasn't come out yet. She's sulking in her room. That's just how she is. There's no point in saying anything now..."

Hidehiko Jomoto's tone was somewhat helpless, but then he brought it up again. "How about this, let's go fishing while she calms down. Anyway, my work schedule is all tomorrow. If you're interested, you can borrow my fishing rod."

"That's all we can do..."

Kota Miyabe, "Then I'll just have to shamelessly bother you."

"It's okay, fishing is more fun with more people."

Hidehiko Jomoto waved his hand, turned his head, and asked the person next to him, "Detective Fujino, would you like to go fishing with us?"

"Fishing..."

Fujino's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this.

He quite enjoys fishing; after all, what man wouldn't want to cast a line or two when he has nothing else to do?

But...

I think back to the little turtle at home.

I can still vividly recall the last time I went fishing with Uncle Mori.

If I go fishing with them this time, I wonder what kind of outrageous things I'll catch.

For example, boots, turtles, or even corpses.

Thinking of this, Fujino sighed and turned to Shiromoto to politely decline, saying, "I often fail to catch anything... and I often catch things with strange accents. Let's skip fishing. I wanted to go up to a higher place during my morning exercise. I'll go check out the nearby plateau later."

"Hmm..."

Hidehiko Jomoto immediately realized that Fujino was the legendary fisherman who could catch anything except fish, so he didn't insist and instead went to chat with the manager named Miyabe.

Fujino turned around and glanced at the group photo on the wall from last night. "But speaking of which, so you guys used to be friends who went Hang Glider. No wonder there are so many Hang Glider photos on the hotel walls... The girl in that photo, judging from her face shape, should be Miss Zimen, right?"

"Yes, that was definitely me."

Shinobu Shimon recalled for a moment, smiled sincerely, and explained, "We used to go Hang Glider on the high ground around here. The environment there is very nice, and the air is very fresh. It's a great place."

She paused, then sighed and said, "But speaking of which, we haven't been able to fly hang Hang Glider since Huiyan passed away. Now Hang Glider 're just sitting in the hotel's rooftop warehouse collecting dust."

"Huiyan, is he the one on the left in the photo?"

At this moment, Ai Haibara recalled what she had heard the night before and asked Shinobu Shimon curiously.

"That's right, that's my younger brother, Teruhiko Arimori. He had an accident during a Hang Glider competition a few years ago. But the main reason is that the plateau around here has been developed, and there aren't many places left to Hang Glider."

Arimori walked over, introduced himself, and then looked at Fujino with a smile, saying, "I just heard that you seem to be going to the highlands for fun. If that's the case, I can take you for a walk in the mountains."

"Thank you for your help."

Fujino nodded and agreed.

However, in his heart, he was concerned about something else.

Since this guy's brother had the accident because of the competition.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't be killing people...

Suddenly, Fujino sensed something was wrong.

It seems that woman hasn't come out yet.

Could he have been murdered?

Feeling somewhat uneasy, Fujino activated his Eagle Vision again and glanced back upstairs.

Fujino breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the woman was still alive.

It seems there won't be any murders today.

"In that case, why don't you come with us for a walk in the mountains?"

At this moment, Arimori suddenly made a suggestion to Shinobu Shimon behind him.

Shinobu Shimon hesitated and said, "But I still need to prepare lunch and dinner..."

"Just prepare some bento boxes for us in advance."

Compared to Chizuru Bizen, Shiromoto, the developer, was much more understanding. "After all, we're planning to fish all day, so preparing bento boxes will be much more convenient. What happened last night must have hurt you, so it's good for you to go out and clear your head. As for tonight, we can have an outdoor Barbie Q party in the yard, it's on me!"

Arimori chimed in, "In that case, let's go for a walk. I've checked the hotel's reservation list; there shouldn't be anyone else there later."

The Shimo-Kasa Sisters nodded in agreement. "That's right, we two sisters can prepare the ingredients for the barbecue. Miss Shinobu, please go out and have fun."

"In that case, I shall respectfully comply."

Shinobu Shimon a smile as he looked him over, and the matter was thus decided amicably.

Shiromoto went fishing with the president of the agency, Shinobu Shimon prepared bento boxes and then went to the nearby plateau with Fujino and his group, as well as Arimori, while the Shimo-Kasa Sisters stayed at the hotel to prepare barbecue ingredients.

As for Chizuru Bizen, Fujino turned back and glanced at her with Hawkeye before leaving.

Seeing that the person was still alive, he stopped caring about anything else.

He came out to have fun this time.

There's no point in caring too much about whether that woman lives or dies.

If I really die, at worst I can just take on a System Task and get a few million yen for free.
