Thud, thud, thud...!
"Come in!"
"Um... Lord God!"
The doors to the lavish, spacious study were slowly pushed open from outside by Ai Haibara after she received permission to enter!
Qing Mo was currently seated behind a broad mahogany desk, his head lowered as he wrote and sketched something!

After hearing the answer she had longed for more than anything, Ai Haibara froze for an instant
