However, since it didn't concern him, Kaito Kuroba had no intention of pressing the issue to find out the truth.

"Fine, it's your business anyway, so I won't interfere." After thinking for a moment, Kuroba Kaito replied to Aragaki Yu.

Because of this little girl, he has already walked a lot of unnecessary distances.

You should have turned at the previous intersection.

Seeing that Kuroba Kaito looked like he was about to leave, Aragaki Yu replied, "Yeah, take care, don't bother seeing me out."

"I'll come find you once I've prepared the disguise." Kaito Kuroba, who was about to turn back, remembered his business and reminded Yuu Aragaki again.

“Okay.” Aragaki Yu nodded.

"Then I'll take my leave."

"Goodbye."

……

"Oh, right, Yuu Aragaki!" Kaito Kuroba, who was about to disappear at the end of the street, suddenly turned around and shouted loudly to Yuu Aragaki.

Yuu Aragaki turned his head in confusion, looking at Kaito Kuroba in the distance.

"Are you sure you're not a lolicon?!"

Aragaki Yu: "..."

Chapter 166 Shiho Miyano's Doubts

"Hmm~"

With a murmur, Shiho Miyano suddenly woke up from her sleep.

"where is this place?"

She struggled to open her eyes, only to find herself in an unfamiliar ceiling.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

Just as Shiho Miyano was trying to recall what had happened, she felt a sudden, splitting headache.

"Do I... have a fever?"

She struggled to stretch her arm out from under the covers and touched her forehead, only to find a warm towel there.

Shiho Miyano remembered that she must have escaped from the organization by taking APTX-4869 and returning to her childhood body.

then……

On his frantic escape, he encountered a boy in black, and... Shinichi Kudo!

"What...what on earth is going on?!"

Suddenly realizing this, Shiho Miyano disregarded her aches and pains and sat up abruptly from the bed.

She looked around blankly. The room was dark, with only a few scattered moonlight shining in from outside through the curtains.

It looks like I've been asleep for a long time.

"Am I... rescued?" Shiho Miyano shook her slightly dizzy head.

The last scene that remained in her memory seemed to be when she was about to fall to the ground, and the black-clad boy she recognized as a member of the organization picked her up.

At this point, she roughly realized that she had probably misunderstood the boy's identity.

After all, if he really was someone sent by the organization to hunt him down, the first thing he would see when he woke up would probably be a piano bar pointing a gun at him.

Shiho Miyano gave a self-deprecating, bitter laugh.

The room was spacious, with only the bed I slept in, a bedside table, and a desk by the window.

There was a glass of water on the bedside table. Because of the fever and dehydration, Shiho Miyano naturally felt thirsty, so she reached for the glass of water without hesitation.

Since this glass of water is here, it must be for myself.

Shiho Miyano had no doubts. If the person who prepared this cup of water really had malicious intentions towards her, they would have had plenty of opportunities to do something while she was unconscious and unable to resist.

There is absolutely no need to do anything underhanded here.

"Hmm?" When Shiho Miyano touched the water glass, she was surprised to find that it was warm to the touch.

This cup of boiled water was actually at a temperature that was just right for drinking.

It was clearly something someone had prepared especially for me. If I couldn't accurately predict when I would wake up, then the water had already been changed many times.

……

After drinking half a glass of water, Shiho Miyano finally felt a little better.

After moving around a bit to ease her aching limbs, she struggled to climb out of bed and found a pair of slippers that didn't quite fit under the bed.

At this moment, Shiho Miyano finally noticed that she had been dressed in a different set of clothes at some point.

The white coat and undergarments that no longer fit due to her shrunk size were nowhere to be found. In their place was an adult shirt that also didn't fit very well, and...

When she glanced down at the wide collar of her shirt, her face darkened.

Because apart from this shirt, he had no other clothes!

And more importantly, the clothes he was wearing were clearly a men's shirt.

Suddenly, a bad feeling welled up in her heart.

Of course, she didn't feel like she had suffered anything, because her dry hair and the scent of her body that was clearly not the brand of shower gel she usually used indicated that someone had taken a shower and changed her clothes after she was caught in the rain.

For some reason, the face of the boy who had picked her up involuntarily appeared before her eyes, and her face flushed slightly.

Suddenly, a slight noise came from outside the door.

Shiho Miyano, whose mind was wandering to who-knows-what, was suddenly startled. She cautiously looked at the half-open door in the room and tiptoed toward it.

She gently pushed the door open a crack and cautiously peeked outside through the gap.

In the living room, the boy in black whom they had met on the road earlier seemed to be busy with something around the dining table.

He seemed to notice the sound of the door being pushed open and turned to look in their direction.

When Shiho Miyano and Yu Aragaki's eyes met, Shiho Miyano unconsciously closed the door again and retreated into the room, leaning against the door.

But the next second, knowing that all of this was meaningless, Shiho Miyano still tried to calm her heart, which had suddenly started racing for some reason.

She tightened her shirt, which was too big for her, big enough to cover her entire body.

After confirming that there were no oversights, she calmly pushed open the door and walked out confidently.

"You're awake?" Yuu Aragaki, sitting at the dining table, looked up at Shiho Miyano, asked casually, and then went back to his work. "How are you feeling?"

"Um, thank you..." Shiho Miyano glanced at Yuu Aragaki, who was busy with something, without making a sound, and after hesitating for a moment, decided to thank him first.

"It's nothing." However, Aragaki Yu didn't look up again. He just gave her a faint reply and then turned and walked into the kitchen.

Shiho Miyano: "???"

Shiho Miyano stared blankly at Yuu Aragaki's retreating figure, filled with questions but unsure how to begin, or perhaps Yuu Aragaki simply didn't give her a chance to say anything more.

Just as she stood there, unsure of what to do next, Aragaki Yu came out of the kitchen carrying something. He gently placed the casserole on the dining table and then softly called to Miyano Shiho, "What are you standing there for? Come on over and eat first. After you finish eating, go take your cold medicine."

"Hmm?" As Aragaki Yu opened the lid of the casserole, a fragrant aroma wafted towards Miyano Shiho.

She couldn't help but sniffle. Stimulated by the aroma of the food, she really felt a surge of hunger, and her stomach, which hadn't eaten much all day, started to rumble.

Shiho Miyano looked somewhat embarrassed at Yuu Aragaki sitting at the table, but Yuu Aragaki acted as if he hadn't heard her. He silently picked up a bowl, ladled a bowl of porridge from the clay pot, and placed it on the seat opposite him, clearly prepared for her.

"Thanks……"

After hesitating for a moment, Shiho Miyano thanked him again and then quietly walked to the dining table and climbed onto a chair.

The other person's actions left her completely speechless.

She looked down at the bowl in front of her, which contained steaming millet porridge with a few tempting red dates floating in it. The aroma of millet and red dates filled her nostrils, making her mouth water.

"Just looking at the food won't fill your stomach."

Just as she was hesitating whether she could start eating, Aragaki Yu served himself a bowl of porridge and plopped down in his seat.

Without looking up, he reminded Shiho Miyano once, then continued eating on his own.

Chapter 167 I'm not interested in children's bodies.

While drinking her porridge, Shiho Miyano secretly glanced at Yuu Aragaki across from her.

His face showed no particular expression; he was simply drinking his porridge quietly, without making any attempt to look up at me.

Perhaps because she was too nervous and fearful beforehand, and because she mistook him for a member of the organization, Shiho Miyano didn't feel anything for this face.

But now, looking at this face...

He's quite handsome.

Shiho Miyano froze as she drank her porridge, her face flushing slightly.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered something.

Shiho Miyano hesitated before asking, "Did you change the clothes I'm wearing?"
