Chapter 225

He was merely enjoying his food.

"He caught the culprit a step faster than Kudo Shinichi."

Ai Haibara was sitting right beside Hoshino Mu.

The relationship between the two of them had clearly eased up quite a bit.

Ai Haibara would no longer resist Hoshino Mu's proximity as she had before.

She picked up the coffee cup at her side.

Sipping the milk inside.

"That really is amazing..."

Miyano Akemi looked surprised.

"Hey, someone like you, why stay in the Organization?"

Ai Haibara picked up a fashion magazine from the side.

Glancing toward Hoshino Mu.

"....."

Hoshino Mu frowned slightly.

He put down his knife and fork.

He stood up and left the dining room.

"??"

"??"

Miyano Akemi and Ai Haibara were both completely bewildered.

Both cast expressions of confusion toward Hoshino Mu.

"Ai, what do you think of him?"

"What does Sister think?"

"I think... he's not bad."

Miyano Akemi's mood seemed quite good.

"..."

Ai Haibara looked at Miyano Akemi.

"Sister, don't you have a boyfriend?"

"!!"

Miyano Akemi's face suddenly turned pale.

"Y-yes! What about it?"

"Then why do you seem so exceptionally concerned about Hoshino Mu?"

"Ai, what are you talking nonsense about? I'm not!"

Miyano Akemi's pale face suddenly turned even paler.

"If you really still love your boyfriend..."

Ai Haibara drank the milk in her cup and said:

"You wouldn't be making that expression just now."

Miyano Akemi looked incredulous.

Gazing at Ai Haibara.

"Ai, you..."

"Although it's not that obvious, but!"

"You look like Hoshino Mu's wife right now..."

"You cook for him, tidy up his room..."

"I even saw you walk into his room that night..."

"Stop it!"

Miyano Akemi spoke up suddenly.

She did not want Ai Haibara to continue.

"Sister!!"

Ai Haibara pressed on relentlessly.

"Ai! Let me calm down!"

Miyano Akemi raised her hands to cover her cheeks.

"Fine..."

Ai Haibara left the dining room.

Leaving Miyano Akemi all by herself.

Miyano Akemi held her forehead.

Her mind was in a mess.

It was likely due to the influence of the dreams.

She had unconsciously grown accustomed to taking care of Hoshino Mu's daily life.

She had gradually forgotten the existence of her boyfriend.

After being startled awake from a dream that night.

Miyano Akemi had indeed gone to Hoshino Mu's room alone.

Because the dream was just too realistic.

Realistic enough to make her skin crawl.

So, while Hoshino Mu was fast asleep, she had crept over.

Quietly opening Hoshino Mu's bedroom door.

She wanted to see if his face was exactly the same as in her dream.

But after secretly observing him, she realized.

Reality and the dream were indeed not the same.

The Hoshino Mu in reality still had a calm expression.

He wouldn't put on that terrifying face like he did in the dream.

Elegant yet cruel.

Although he would smile in the dream, it was a bone-chilling smile.

Perhaps it was because her mind was too tense.

Or perhaps, as Ai Haibara said...

Had her heart truly wavered?

Miyano Akemi shook her head vigorously.

She composed her emotions.

And began to clear the plates and dishes from the table.

Ai Haibara returned to her room.

She closed the door and leaned against it.

She slowly slid down to sit on the floor.

Regarding Hoshino Mu as a person.

She still knew absolutely nothing.

She only knew he was a member of the Organization, just like them.

But there were too many secrets about Hoshino Mu.

According to Miyano Akemi.

His medical skills were superb, comparable to a professor at a major hospital.

And despite being only a high school student.

He possessed deductive abilities even more rigorous and advanced than Kudo Shinichi's.

Could it really be as he said? ===== CHAPTER 226 =====
