Chapter 170

Occasionally, an exclamation or two would come out:

"Ah? I was wondering why you looked familiar..."

Haibara was speechless.

She turned her head to look at Hoshino Ki.

She asked teasingly:

"This doesn't seem like you... I didn't expect you to care about such things."

"Did you find your conscience? Or did you suddenly have a change of heart?"

"......"

Hoshino Ki's pitch-black eyes were filled with unfathomable depth.

He was indeed not that kind-hearted.

He offered to hire this person because he had a high sensitivity to money.

To strengthen himself as quickly as possible, he had to recruit some talented people.

"Really? Hoshino-kun is also a high school detective!?"

The dad looked at Hoshino Ki in surprise.

In just this short while.

The dad had already started calling Hoshino Ki by his name!

His originally dim eyes suddenly flashed with a moving light.

Hoshino Ki and Haibara Ai were stunned at the same time.

Then they turned their heads in unison to look at Miyano Akemi...

This chatterbox sister!

Had she started making things up?

"Ahem!"

Miyano Akemi turned her head away guiltily.

"I am willing to work for you for free for life! I just want to ask you to catch the killer!"

"Oh?"

"Deal!"

Hoshino Ki raised his eyes and agreed to the other party's request readily.

Free labor, might as well use it!

Just like that.

Hoshino Ki signed a lifetime employment agreement with the dad.

The contract would take effect from the day Hoshino Ki caught the killer and would terminate on the day the dad passed away.

After exchanging contact information and agreeing on some other matters, they said goodbye to each other.

Hoshino Ki drove the two sisters home again.

The atmosphere this time was better.

Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai started chatting with Hoshino Ki.

Time passed slowly.

It wasn't until the sky gradually turned dark that the three returned home.

Hoshino Ki parked the car in the garage and returned to his room.

The trip had just ended, and he had been driving for a day.

His body was a bit tired.

So Hoshino Ki quickly washed up and lay on the bed.

Before long, he fell asleep...

The next morning.

He washed up and walked downstairs.

"Ah! Zhao Si-kun! Good morning!"

Miyano Akemi greeted him as usual.

She had removed all her disguises.

At twenty-five or twenty-six, she was in the prime of her youth.

Her fine, black hair draped over her shoulders, looking gentle and quiet.

Her fair skin was like a freshly peeled egg.

Her blue eyes twinkled as if they could speak.

Her small red lips contrasted with her white skin, making them stand out even more.

She was wearing comfortable loungewear.

She was holding a plate in her hand.

"Morning!"

Hoshino Ki replied to her as usual.

He stared steadily at Miyano Akemi's current appearance.

Although there were no obvious clues on the surface.

But if one looked closely.

One would find a hint of... love in Miyano Akemi's eyes toward Hoshino Ki?

Before, it was just shyness and admiration.

Now it had escalated directly to love?

And she didn't even try to hide it...

"Morning!"

Haibara was also sitting in her seat early today.

She was still the same, holding a glass of milk and reading a fashion magazine.

Her ice-blue eyes were calm.

This scene was truly a picture of peaceful years.

If this weren't the world of Conan.

This kind of life would actually be quite nice...

Hoshino Ki froze in place.

As if wanting to record the harmonious scene in front of him deep in his mind.

"What are you staring at? Sit down and eat quickly?"

Miyano Akemi's voice came from the side.

She placed the plate at Hoshino Ki's seat and even thoughtfully pulled out the chair for him.

Her housewife attributes were fully maxed out.

Hoshino Ki accepted Miyano Akemi's kindness and sat in the chair.

Hoshino Ki picked up his knife and fork and began to enjoy his breakfast.

The life of a family of three was gradually getting on track...

After finishing breakfast, he went out to school.

The cherry blossoms were in their most beautiful bloom this season.

Hoshino Ki walked on the sparsely populated street.

Petals of cherry blossoms fell from the sky, as there had been a continuous cherry blossom rain.

Beautiful cherry blossoms, some snow-white, some pink.

In the breeze, they sometimes embraced; sometimes sang in low voices; sometimes lowered their heads to whisper; sometimes raised their heads to laugh loudly.

This beautiful scene touched the nerves of everyone on the street.

While they were admiring it.

They also kept taking out their phones and cameras to take pictures.

They posed in various ways, leaving behind beautiful memories of this happy and beautiful moment!

Hoshino Ki also stepped on a few delicate petals under his feet.

Walking toward the school...

In the school classroom.

A broadcast sound rang out lightly.

The class monitor led the students to bow and thank the teacher.

The teacher left the classroom.

The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became lively.

Not caring about the noisy atmosphere.

Hoshino Ki started tidying up his things on his own.

"Hoshino-kun! Let's go home together after school?"

"Come to think of it, Hoshino-kun has been very busy lately, I can't see you after school..."

Just by hearing the voice, one knew it was Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko.

Hoshino Ki looked up at the two and nodded.

After he packed his school bag.

The three of them walked out of the classroom together.

It was strange to say.

There was a crowd of students blocking the door.

From their appearance, they looked like troublemakers in the class, looking like they weren't to be messed with.

But the moment they saw Hoshino Ki walking over, they made a path for him.

In their eyes, there was actually a hint of "respect" and "awe."

The three walked through the school building's hallway.

Hoshino Ki discovered...

Today's school was a little bit wrong.

Everyone was always peeking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

When going to the bathroom during the break.

There were no extra stalls left.

But the boys, the moment they saw Hoshino Ki walk into the bathroom.

They squeezed into the corner of the bathroom like grasshoppers that had exploded.

Some students didn't even have time to pull up their pants...
