Haibara Ai heard the words "something exciting," and countless recent experiences instantly flashed through her mind. The corner of her eye twitched as she couldn't help looking at Suzuki Sonoko. "..." So many, so many, so many things had just happened without even giving them a chance to catch their breath, and she was already hoping for something new?
...But come to think of it, most of those heart-stopping experiences seemed to have had little to do with Suzuki Sonoko. No, she couldn't say they had nothing to do with her. It was just that this high school girl had always stood safely at the edge of the stage, unable to experience that terrifying feeling firsthand.
Wait, why had she said stage?
Haibara Ai raised a hand and silently covered her mouth.
Beside her, Suzuki Sonoko knew nothing of the Mini Scientist's muttering.
This high school girl, who loved watching chaos unfold, clasped her hands together and gazed up at the sky. "Could something interesting happen right away? Something flashy and daring, the kind of huge event that makes your heart pound and leaves every onlooker speechless! Then, when everyone is at a loss, Detective Sonoko will make her grand entrance and solve everything beneath the admiring gazes of the crowd!"
The corner of Mouri Ran's eye twitched. "Sonoko, what weird movie or television show have you been watching lately?"
Suzuki Sonoko chuckled. No television shows, but the new chapter of her game had been progressing rapidly, and it was thrilling to play—sure enough, as long as you were willing to throw money at something, nothing was impossible. Who had told her that game development took a long time and couldn't be done in a short period? Under the assault of her allowance, hadn't it been produced with ease?
