Why Do I Feel Like I'm Being Ignored?

On the way home from Teitan Elementary School.

After picking up Ai Haibara, Fujino drove off and also picked up the rest of the Junior Detective League.

As is widely known, the Junior Detective League is commonly referred to as the Death Detective League.

Wherever he goes, a murder is bound to occur.

Fujino's actions have reduced the workload for the Metropolitan Police Department.

Doing one good deed a day is considered good.

On the way back to 5-chome, Fujino reached out and ruffled Ai Haibara's hair, whispering, "Ai, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

"No..."

Feeling much more comfortable after being patted on the head, with a touch of pampering, Ai Haibara shook her head slightly and explained, "It's just that I didn't sleep well last night."

"Did you stay up late again?"

Fujino continued to pat the little girl's head, "I guess you're lacking in qi and blood. I'll buy you some ribs later to replenish your qi and blood."

"I'll go with you."

"Go home and get some rest later, and don't catch a cold again."

"Um..."

Ai Haibara nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart, but then she thought that she wasn't the kind of person the other person cared about, and she looked down with a little sadness.

Perhaps things would be much easier if she told him everything about the organization and herself— Ai Haibara had thought this to herself more than once.

While thinking this way, I also worry that once this unspoken understanding is revealed, the other party will not treat me the same way as they do now.

The most crucial point is that I don't want to drag the other party into the organization's quagmire.

But, if my intuition is correct regarding the owner of that aura...

Ai Haibara's eyes flashed with the silhouette of a blonde woman, and she couldn't help but swallow hard, not daring to think about it any further.

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, she looked up at her hand, which was wrapped in bandages, and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, is your hand feeling better?"

"It's just a minor injury."

Fujino continued to ruffle the little girl's hair, "My recovery ability is pretty good, I'll be fine in a few days."

The little girl sighed helplessly, "Really, you shouldn't be so careful when fighting with thugs."

"After all, even a horse can stumble."

Fujino an awkward smile, unable to admit that he cut his own hand to give a shrew a chance to fire.

"Remember to apply your medicine on time after you get home, don't forget when you're busy!"

Ai Haibara crossed her arms, a hint of resentment in her voice. "The bandages need to be changed regularly, and they shouldn't get wet, otherwise it will be troublesome if they get infected."

"I understand~"

Fujino sighed helplessly, suddenly realizing that Ai was becoming more and more like a housekeeper, gradually becoming a virtuous wife and loving mother...

However, when it came to not getting wet, Fujino suddenly remembered that morning Sonoko had invited him to go to the beach.

At the seaside, there is naturally seawater, and the seawater touched the wound...

Just thinking about it is exciting.

Fujino was already starting to feel himself sweating profusely.

As expected of Sonoko, she probably didn't think too much about it and remained as carefree as ever.

In comparison, Ai is Ai to feel sorry for Gege.

Conan, sitting in the back row. "..."

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being ignored?

Hey you two, is it really okay for an old married couple to act like this?

There's a perfectly healthy person sitting in the back row!

Do you consider other people's feelings in public places?

Two days passed quietly.

During this period, Fujino did not receive any requests.

Life has returned to its usual routine of going to three points and going to two different places.

He gets up to exercise and eat breakfast, goes to school and spends time in jail, and after school, he goes with Akemi to select a location for the new beverage shop and to prepare for the project.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the day we had agreed to go to Izu arrived.

Based on past experience.

Fujino felt that he was bound to encounter some kind of case on this trip to Izu.

So early in the morning, they excitedly took the two sisters, Ran Conan Sonoko, along with Conan and Ai, who were pretending to be children, and drove for more than three hours to Izu in Shizuoka Prefecture.

"Okay, this is the place we've decided on!"

Sonoko stood in front of an inn called "Waya," wearing a red vest and beige cropped pants, looking as lively as ever. She turned to the group behind her and suggested, "Let's stay here this time!"

"Huh? Sonoko, are we really going to live here?"

Ran, wearing a green dress, looked up at the hotel in front of her, exclaimed in surprise, paused, and then looked back at the tall hotel not far away. "I felt that the hotel that Fujino- Senior just drove past looked pretty good!"

"That hotel..."

Fujino, carrying two large bags of luggage, glanced back and said, "I remember that hotel was called the Queen Hotel. I've been here twice before."

"That's right, that's the name."

Ai Haibara in, "The last time we came to Izu for vacation, we stayed at this hotel, and it was quite nice."

"Yes, it really is that one."

Conan pondered for a moment and said, "The previous Sea Snake murder case and the Xiao Hei murder case both happened over there."

Ai Haibara: "..."

You really are a detective.

Why do we have to bring up murder cases to recall even something like this?

It's amazing that you can remember it so clearly...

"Those hotels are definitely very comfortable to stay in!"

Sonoko waved her hand. "But small inns have their advantages too!"

Ran was a little puzzled. "What's so good about it?"

"I don't really know Sister Li, can you explain?"

Fujino also had no idea what the girl with the big forehead was thinking.

The hotel in front of me is a semi-retro Japanese-style building with a wooden structure, a roof covered with black tiles, and modern-style windows on the second floor.

To put it kindly, it's full of historical atmosphere.

To put it bluntly, it's a bit old-fashioned and somewhat shabby.

"Tsk, you guys just don't understand!"

Sonoko wagged her finger, glanced at Fujino first, then leaned close to Ran and whispered, "When we used to go out, we would go to my family's villa or those hotels. Thinking about it, someone like me, a high-class beauty, does seem a bit unapproachable... So, I came up with this plan of coming to a cheap hotel, just so that those boys could approach me with peace of mind!"

"Is that so..."

Ran Lan, with her beady eyes, suddenly realized that her best friend was indeed still that womanizer.

She had previously been clamoring to win over Fujino- Senior.

I didn't expect them to give up so easily...

On the other side, Fujino, who was passively eavesdropping, was speechless.

He might believe the saying that rich girls are considered unattainable beauties, but if it were applied to Momiji, he would believe it.

But Sonoko, you...

EMM, can you please stop using family background as an excuse?

Why don't you look for the reasons within yourself?

"Excuse me, are you here to stay?"

Just then, a voice suddenly came, and the hotel door was pulled open.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dark-skinned man walking out of the hotel.

The man had a square face, wore a white shirt and glasses, which contrasted sharply with his height and muscles, giving him an incongruous appearance.

At the same time, an invisible white aura enveloped his body.
