Ke Ai: Growing up with Xiao Ai

"Here is ......"

When I woke up, I found myself lying in a warehouse-like place with my wrists tied together.

Lying next to her was Miss Lan.

"You're finally awake, Shirley~"

spoke to a man dressed in black who kidnapped us.

Gray Plains: "... Who are you?"

The man in black: "Haha, if you have to give me a code name, "Gran"~ You may understand it more easily. Gray

Plains: "Codename... You are a member of

the Order!" Gran: "That's right, I'm just like you, Shirley~ Before my father was killed, I was also obedient to the Order......"

When he said this, my sister's figure flashed in my mind for a moment.

Grayplain: "So, what are you looking for me to do when you used to be a member of the Order? Obviously the organization collapsed six years ago, why are you still looking for me now?"

Gran: "My purpose is revenge, but my father's killer is a former member of the Order... Today still at ease in another "organization". For revenge, I need the power of Shinichi Kudo and Shirley to completely destroy the "organization"!

" Gray Hara mourns: "-If that's the case, then you don't have to make it so complicated... I'm going to do what I can to help you,..... so please let that girl go, she's completely unrelated to it. "

Even if it's just for her to escape.

If something happened, I wouldn't have thought about it... How sad he would have been—

Gran: "That's what I thought at first. That girl is Shinichi Kudo's lover, right? In that case, she still has enough use value. "

Oh, has the business ability of the "remnant party" decreased so much after the collapse of the organization? Kudo-kun's current girlfriend is me. Even if you kidnap that girl, it doesn't make any sense!" Gran

looked surprised.

"Indeed, when I monitor your movements, it looks like a lover... However, according to the information I investigated, "

My lies made Gran shake slightly, but he quickly calmed his mind.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter who his lover is, anyway, both of you are in my hands, whether it's true or not, I'll know when I negotiate with Kudo Shinichi. "

After all, he was part of the organization.

Probably, this scam is not going to work......

Mao Lilan: "-Xiao Ai, you're not hurt, are you?"

Gray Yuan Wai: "I'm just stunned by the drugs." Are you okay, Sister Xiaolan?"

Mao Lilan: "Well, my neck hurts a little, but the injury is not serious, and the other party should deliberately control the strength." Gray

Plains: "Great......"

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Mao Lilan: "By the way, Xiao Ai, you always seem to care about me besides Conan, right?"

Gray Yuan Ai: "Well, it shouldn't matter if you say it now." In fact, there have been a few times when I have seen visions of you overlapping with your deceased sister. She is gentle, brave, and her family comes first...... Much like you. "

Yes, someone who is suitable for Kudo-kun must be as gentle as his sister.

At least for me, I can't possibly ......

Maoriran: "...... I'm not as mature and steady as you. "

Gray Yuan Wai: "Sister Xiaolan?

" Mao Lilan: "Back to what I just said-

" Gray Yuan Wai: "Eh?" Mao

Lilan: "Xiao Wai is not only concerned about Conan-kun, but also cares about me... I don't think it's just because I'm like your sister. Gray

Plains

: "........." Mao Lilan: "Ah, yes, it's not too late to say, actually, Conan-kun—no, Shiba told me those things early in the morning... Gray

Plains: "Really...... If that's the case, then why is Edogawa-kun-

" Moriran: "I like Shinichi as a childhood sweetheart, but for him who is always involved in events... We may not be as in tune as we think...... This is the conclusion that I have thought about in the past six years. After all, Uncle Yusaku's curious personality should also have an impact on him.

"It's true for anyone, I prefer to live a normal life with Shinichi, who would want to be involved in an incident.

"When I saw you supporting Conan, I felt that as a true partner we should care about each other, I kind of understood. And for me, Shinichi and Conan-kun have long been different people.

"But, if it weren't for the Aptx4869 I made, you wouldn't be bothered......"

Lan sighed.

"If Shinichi returns, Conan will disappear. I know the pain deeply... Presumably, everyone around him will be sad at that time - "

That's right."

Isn't it you who has been longing for Kudo Shinichi to come back the most, Sister Xiaolan ......

Sister Xiaolan looked at the ceiling with tears in her eyes.

And then

-"From now on, please stay with Conan-kun....."

The last words she said made my heart feel like it had stopped.
