A Sharp Tongue After Another, Huh!

"Alright."

Fujino chuckled softly, naturally seeing through Ai Haibara's concern for him.

He reached out and patted the girl's head, promising, "Next time, if anything happens, I'll definitely tell the truth."

"That's good."

Ai Haibara as her head was patted, her usually expressionless face softening slightly.

She... wasn't actually angry, she just didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark.

Because before she shrank, her older sister was always like this.

He always reported good news and never bad news when he was away from home, swallowing his pride and never telling her anything, until finally he was taken away by the organization...

Perhaps this is the bond of family, but rather than being completely unaware, she would rather do something, even if it's just to pray to a non-existent God.

Feeling her face getting hot, she stood up and suddenly remembered something, saying, "You didn't eat dinner last night, did you?"

Fujino was taken aback. "How did you know?"

"How could I not know?"

Ai Haibara crossed her arms and murmured something.

When faced with a case, they forget to eat...

Turning around, she headed towards the kitchen. "Anyway, you still have to come with me to the school to do morning exercises later. I'll make some porridge with yesterday's dinner to fill your stomach first."

"Honami and I will go help too!"

"Thank you for your help."

After breakfast, it was seven o'clock in the morning.

Fujino drove Ai Haibara to Teitan Elementary School.

On the playground of Teitan Elementary School in the early morning, a large group of elementary school students dressed in sports uniforms and their parents had already gathered.

Fujino, dressed in sportswear, seemed to have returned to his student days in his previous life, swinging his arms and legs as he did morning exercises that looked like, but didn't quite feel like, morning exercises.

In Japan, elementary school students do gymnastics during their summer vacation.

This is a long-standing tradition, much like how elementary and even middle school students in China do morning exercises.

Although it is a voluntary activity, the aerobics class will stamp the participation certificate, so the so-called voluntary participation is only nominal. In reality, it is a "semi-mandatory" group activity.

Because it was semi-mandatory, most students brought their parents with them.

Professor Agasa, as always, played the role of the child's parent, swaying his old and fat body around the children, barely managing to complete the assigned physical actions...

Actually, it's quite difficult to evaluate.

Fujino even suspected that Professor Agasa was the biological grandfather of these people.

I usually take these kids out to play, all kinds of trips, outdoor barbecues, and watch sports games along the way.

I guess all that little bit of retirement money goes towards these kids...

Um, it seems that Professor Agasa doesn't rely on his pension to make a living anymore?

If you think about it carefully, Professor Agasa has already made a fortune just from the customers of his inventions.

For example, that kid Kuroba Kaito...

That's alright then.

That's all for today. Thank you all for participating!

"Phew... I'm so tired."

Professor Agasa, drenched in sweat, took a deep breath and complained, "I feel like all my bones are about to fall apart..."

"That's because you don't exercise regularly, Professor Agasa."

Conan, holding his water bottle, wiped the sweat from his brow and joked, "If I exercised more regularly, I wouldn't have to work so hard..."

"That is."

Ayumi nodded in agreement and pointed to Fujino, who was squatting on the ground resting, saying, "Brother Fujino doesn't seem to be sweating at all."

"He's a detective, I'm an inventor!"

Professor Agasa glanced at Fujino, then stubbornly retorted, "How can a purely mental worker possibly balance physical activity and mental work!"

"That's true... After all, if you don't exercise regularly, your body will deteriorate."

Upon hearing this Fujino, who was tagged, stood up and gave a slight nod of agreement. Then he added, "But Professor Agasa, you should exercise more. That way you can spend a few more years with these kids and maybe even watch them grow up."

"Ultimately, isn't it because Professor Agasa is getting old?"

Ai Haibara, standing to the side, touched her chin and murmured, "And she often eats high-oil, high-calorie foods. Her body is probably already at its limit. If she doesn't take care of her body, she'll probably have problems in a few years."

Professor Agasa: "..."

Although you were advising him to exercise more and stay healthy, I always felt like you two were implying that I was old.

Thank you both so much!

They're all incredibly sarcastic!

The old man, unwilling to accept his age, was a little resentful. He smacked his lips and was about to turn around when he suddenly strained his old back again.

"Professor Agasa, please bear with me, I'm about to begin!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Ouch!

"Card!"

"Ah—Ouch! Oh~"

On the school playground, Fujino pinned Professor Agasa down on the bench, pressing his arm against the professor's back as if performing CPR, and then forcefully pushed down, causing the professor to straighten his bones.

"Hmm, Professor Agasa, you should pay attention to your posture in the future. I feel that your back is already a bit deformed. If it's not handled properly, you might develop a herniated disc."

Fujino withdrew his hand, lowered the sleeve that was pulled up over his arm, and gave a brief instruction.

"Okay, I understand!"

Professor Agasa stood up, twisted his waist, blushed slightly, and couldn't help but exclaim, "But Fujino- kun, your technique is really good... If you ever open a massage parlor, I'll definitely recommend it to all my old friends."

"I'd rather not go to a massage parlor."

Fujino chuckled and waved his hand, "I can do things like setting bones for people with my current job."

"Hehe..."

Conan, standing nearby, couldn't help but chuckle with a deadpan expression, inwardly making a sarcastic remark.

You'd dislocate someone's hand or break their bones all over their body, and then you'd still set their bones, right?

Who in their right mind would use this for a massage?

He was worried that Fujino would break a bone from Professor Agasa.

"By the way, have you guys noticed anything strange?"

At that moment, Ayumi looked around and suddenly said, "Mitsuhiko doesn't seem to be here today..."

"Maybe he's sick?"

Conan turned around, glanced at him, and guessed, "Mitsuhiko is usually quite punctual. I guess it's only when he's sick that he can't go to school to do exercises."

"Yes, that should be it..."

The little ones nodded, not giving it much thought.

Fujino, standing to the side, pondered for a while longer and fell into deep thought.

During summer vacation, there's also morning exercise...

Uh, memories of my past life are starting to come back.

If he remembered correctly, Mitsuhiko skipped morning exercises to follow members of the firefly conservation organization and then sneak off into the forests of Gunma to catch fireflies.

It was just a few days ago, I don't know which day it was, but it was right when summer vacation started.

Fujino, Professor Agasa, and a large group of others went to watch the fireworks together. On the way back, Ayumi and Ai Haibara talked about fireflies.

When Mitsuhiko heard this, he wanted to catch some fireflies to show the two girls and win their favor. However, while Mitsuhiko was catching fireflies, he accidentally ran into Numabuchi Kiichiro...
