But if she rejected his suggestion now, it would only arouse his suspicion even more.
Therefore, Shiho Miyano had no choice but to agree to Yuu Aragaki's request.
From now on, she can only take it one step at a time.
……
"We've arrived at 2-21 Beikacho."
More than half an hour later, Yuu Aragaki and Shiho Miyano stopped in front of Shinichi Kudo's house.
"..."
Shiho Miyano looked at the familiar mansion with surprise, then at Yuu Aragaki who had led her there, feeling somewhat taken aback.
This is way too close...
It only took the two of them two minutes to walk over.
For some reason, Shiho Miyano suddenly had a bad feeling.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to use a little force to break free from Aragaki Yuu's grasp.
Originally, when they first left the house, Shiho Miyano was slightly unhappy with Yuu Aragaki's behavior of holding her hand as if she were a little girl.
"Damn it, I'm not some real child anymore!"
But when she felt the captivating warmth emanating from that slender hand in her palm, she inexplicably acquiesced to Aragaki Yu's actions after only a slight, tentative struggle.
However, from her constantly lowered head and her wandering eyes, it was clear that she was not at peace.
At the gate of Shinichi Kudo's residence, Shiho Miyano looked at the window from which no light was coming out and said somewhat embarrassedly, "It seems that my relatives have all gone out now. Why don't you go back first? I can wait here."
She knew, of course, that there was no one in the house.
The reason Shiho Miyano initially chose this place as her destination was simply to find a place to temporarily escape the organization's pursuit, and then find an opportunity to contact the shrunken Shinichi Kudo again.
That guy, he should be called... Conan now.
Yes, that's right, Conan Edogawa.
Shiho Miyano remembered her older sister mentioning such a child to her.
Despite being just an elementary school student, she is as mature as an adult and possesses detective-like wisdom. She is also very familiar with the Mori family, and she has discovered that the Kudo family's childhood clothes are missing.
It wasn't difficult for Shiho Miyano to guess that Conan Edogawa was the high school detective Shinichi Kudo.
Now, after Shiho Miyano successfully shrunk after taking APTX-4869, she is even more certain of this.
Chapter 170 You're kind of cute when you cry.
After looking around, Aragaki Yu looked at Miyano Shiho and said, "I'll stay here with you for a while."
Miyano Shiho: "..."
Although she understood that Yuu Aragaki was concerned for her safety, which was why he offered to stay with her.
However, she knew very well that no matter how long they waited, no one from Shinichi Kudo's family would ever come back!
She had originally planned to sneak into Shinichi Kudo's house after Aragaki Yu left.
"Sigh..." Shiho Miyano couldn't help but turn her head to look at Yuu Aragaki, who was leaning against the wall and looking down at his phone, and sighed silently.
……
A few minutes later.
Seeing that Aragaki Yu showed no intention of leaving, Miyano Shiho said with a sigh, "Why don't you go back first? You've already troubled you enough today..."
"It's nothing." Aragaki Yu, engrossed in browsing a doujinshi featuring a famous actress, replied without looking up, "I'm not in a hurry, Ai..."
"But... um?" Shiho Miyano, who had been urging him on, suddenly paused after hearing Yuu Aragaki's casual address. She looked up at Yuu's face in surprise and asked, "Ai, are you calling me?"
Aragaki Yu: "..."
It was only then that he realized that he had become so engrossed in looking at some high-definition pictures that he had inadvertently called out Ai's name.
This……
Yuu Aragaki awkwardly scratched his head, but fortunately, Shiho Miyano didn't know that this would be her future name, so he didn't need to worry about being suspected of having some kind of precognitive ability.
However, it's not easy to explain that I just casually gave her a nickname.
"So, is this the name you gave me?" Shiho Miyano asked inquiringly. "Why is it called Ai-chan?"
Yuu Aragaki was taken aback again, but soon, a comment he had seen from netizens about Ai Haibara in his previous life suddenly popped into his mind.
“Before Confucius uttered his words, sorrow and joy were already present before him.”
"Huh?" Shiho Miyano stared blankly at Yuu Aragaki in front of her.
What does it mean?
Shiho Miyano could tell that this sentence was an ancient Chinese saying.
She recognized every single Chinese character in it, but when put together...
Despite graduating from Harvard University at the age of eighteen with dual doctorates in chemistry and medicine, she admitted that she was indeed still illiterate.
"You haven't even uttered your words yet, but your feelings of sorrow and joy are already evident."
Yuu Aragaki's flat words didn't carry much emotion, but they left Shiho Miyano, who was standing to the side, completely stunned.
She stared blankly at Aragaki Yu, who was looking at her tenderly, a strange emotion welling up inside her, as if something was stuck in her heart.
Her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears, and a crystal-clear tear slid down her cheek.
The reason he calls himself "Ai" is that he's expressing to himself—
"Although you didn't say anything to me, I could already see a deep sadness in you."
She didn't know why this guy, whom she had only just met, could so easily see through her current state of mind.
……
She couldn't help but lower her head slightly, her mind a jumble of thoughts.
……
At that moment, Shiho Miyano herself couldn't quite describe how she felt.
sad?
sad?
Or perhaps it was a feeling of being moved?
……

Just as she looked up at Aragaki Yu again, preparing to say something.
But then he saw Aragaki Yu holding his phone, and with a flash of light, he suddenly took a picture of himself.
Miyano Shiho: (?Д?)ノ
this person……
what are you doing?
Seeing Shiho Miyano's bewildered and puzzled expression, Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but smile slightly.
"What are you doing?"
Shiho Miyano's blank expression, combined with her incredibly cute outfit, made her look exceptionally adorable.
"Take a picture!" Aragaki Yu replied matter-of-factly.
Miyano Shiho: "..."
She's not stupid; of course she knows that Aragaki Yu is taking pictures.
She just wanted to know why Aragaki Yu had suddenly attacked her when she wasn't paying attention.
Yuu Aragaki chuckled and patted Shiho Miyano's head: "I took a picture to remember this. I found that you look quite handsome when you cry."
Miyano Shiho: "..."
You look rather beautiful when you cry...
Look at this, is this even human language?
Aragaki Yu's words kept echoing in her ears.
In an instant, all the sadness and emotion vanished from Shiho Miyano's mind.
At that moment, all she felt was shame, indignation, and anger.
"You...you delete the photos right now!"
"No, this is a rare and wonderful photo. I will definitely treasure it." Yuu Aragaki continued to tease, seemingly oblivious to Shiho Miyano's embarrassed and angry expression.
"That's not gentlemanly behavior to treat a girl like that!" Shiho Miyano glared angrily at Yuu Aragaki, reaching out to snatch his phone from his hand.
However, Yuu Aragaki had already anticipated Shiho Miyano's actions, and the moment she approached, he stuffed his phone back into his clothes.
