Little Ai: He Really Wasn't a Good Person

"It seemed you really liked the clothes I bought. You put them all away," Guchuan said with a smile.

"I don't like them at all, hey!"

"Mm, I get it. You're being tsundere. You obviously like them so much, but you just won't admit it." Guchuan put on the air of someone who understood everything and showed off in front of Shiho Miyano.

"Damn it!"

Shiho Miyano was truly too angry to bear it and kicked Guchuan's leg resentfully.

She normally would never do something so childish. That bastard had completely influenced her.

It was all his fault.

"I want to go home," Shiho Miyano said, turning her face away.

"What home? Isn't this your home?" Guchuan Ning sat on the sofa, took a document from his pocket, and tossed it to her.

"This is the identity document I got for you. From now on, you're my little sister."

Shiho Miyano opened the document in confusion.

Name: Loli Guchuan

Gender: Female

Age: 7

Family relationship: Guchuan Ning (older brother)

Shiho Miyano was a little stunned.

"What is this?"

"Your identity document. From now on, you're part of the Guchuan family." Guchuan Ning leisurely drank some hot water.

"My name is Ai Haibara!"

"Ai Haibara? That name doesn't sound good." Guchuan Ning shook his head.

"Even so, it sounds much better than Loli Guchuan." Little Ai said unhappily.

What kind of name was Loli Guchuan? Was that something a normal person would name someone?

Then again, this man was not normal to begin with.

"Names aren't something you choose yourself. Even if you don't like one, you can only accept it." Guchuan Ning patted Little Ai's head.

"Ai Haibara wasn't a name I chose myself either," Little Ai argued, her face reddening.

"What parents would give their daughter such a sorrowful name?" Guchuan looked at Little Ai with a half-smile.

Feeling uncomfortable, Little Ai shook off Guchuan Ning's hand and took a step back.

How did he know I chose that name myself?

Could he...?

Little Ai's body trembled slightly. She seemed to smell the aura of an Organization member on Guchuan Ning, and that aura was growing stronger.

"I understand everything." Guchuan rose to his feet with a strange smile.

"What do you understand?" Little Ai's expression stiffened.

"Not revealing your real name to strangers is a wise choice. You're a child with a strong sense of caution."

"Hehe." Little Ai gave a blank-faced laugh.

You really figured it out.

"I really like children like you."

Guchuan's words made Little Ai's body stiffen.

She always felt that this man's liking was not the kind of liking one had for children.

"I'm not interested in what your original name was. In any case, from now on, you're called Loli Guchuan. That name has already been entered into Japan's family registration system." Guchuan looked at Little Ai.

I solved your identity problem, so don't thank me too much.

"It's been entered into Japan's family registration system?" Little Ai lost control of her expression again.

He had picked me up only last night, and today he had entered the name "Loli Guchuan" into the registration system?

"You're joking, right?"

"How could I be? I personally called and got you an expedited channel." Guchuan wore an expression begging for praise.

"Hehe."

He picked up shrunken me last night, then turned me into a legal member of the Guchuan family today. Such swift action really felt premeditated.

Little Ai looked at Guchuan Ning with a complicated expression. What exactly was his purpose?

Did he really not know her true identity?

"What is your purpose?" Little Ai asked.

"I want a little sister." Guchuan Ning looked completely sincere.

"So you snatched a little girl off the street to be your sister?"

"What do you mean, snatched? I picked you up." Guchuan Ning retorted unhappily.

As a law-abiding young man who had just received an award from the Metropolitan Police Department, how could he possibly snatch a loli off the street?

"What's the difference between that and snatching?"

"The difference is huge. Please don't slander a law-abiding young man who just received a commendation from the Metropolitan Police Department." Guchuan Ning pointed at the certificate already hanging on the wall, his face full of pride.

That certificate was the greatest recognition Guchuan Ning could receive.

"I can't be bothered listening to your sophistry." Ai Haibara curled her lips.

"From now on, we're family." Guchuan Ning tugged at Ai Haibara's cheek.

Little Ai dodged Guchuan Ning's hand, puffed out her rosy cheeks, and glared at him angrily.

We've known each other for less than two days. Why are you acting like we're so close, touching me whenever you want?

She ran back into her room and shut the door, separating the two of them.

Guchuan Ning knocked on the door outside, then muttered, "You've already been kidnapped by me anyway. There's no way you're leaving."

Little Ai lay sprawled across the bed and heard Guchuan Ning's loud muttering.

Whatever. Even the worst outcome would be much better than staying in the Organization. It's just... the Organization...

"Let's all go to the Art Museum together."

Ran, her face full of eager anticipation, looked at Kogoro Mouri and Conan.

But the only response she received was their laughter.

"Ha ha ha, what medieval knight? That has to be a story the Art Museum made up to attract customers. You're so silly, Ran." Kogoro Mouri mocked her while holding a newspaper.

"Exactly, Ran. That rumor is specifically meant to fool children." Conan kept rubbing salt in the wound, completely failing to notice Ran's darkening face.

"You two, just wait!"

Ran punched the table, and the shattered tabletop made Conan and Kogoro Mouri both stiffen their necks.

"Hehe, I happened to want to visit the Art Museum too."

"Me too, me too."

As Ran and the others headed to the Art Museum, Guchuan Ning also left home with Little Ai.

"Where are you taking me?"

Little Ai sat on the motorcycle's back seat wearing a helmet, her chestnut-brown short hair fluttering in the wind.

"I bought an Art Museum and plan to turn it into my private Collection Hall. I'm taking you to have a look," Guchuan Ning said.

The collections he had in America had already been airlifted back to Japan. Since there were so many of them, he needed a venue to display them.

"Then why bring me along?"

"Obviously because I'm afraid you'll secretly run away while you're home alone," Guchuan Ning said as if it were only natural.

"Heh."

Little Ai sat in the back seat and constantly complained inwardly: kidnapper, Loli-con, mental patient, tsundere.

Then Little Ai suddenly froze as she looked at a scratch on the motorcycle.

That scratch was exactly like the scratch on her Harley Motorcycle!

"Guchuan Ning, did you buy this motorcycle yourself?" Little Ai shouted.

"What? The wind is too loud. I can't hear what you're saying!"

"I said, did you buy this motorcycle yourself?" Little Ai yelled at the top of her lungs.

"This motorcycle?"

Guchuan Ning blinked.

"Of course. I got it through my own hard work."
