Chapter 238

Then he turned his gaze back to the TV.

"I'm an adult."

Hoshino Ki's inscrutable appearance caused Haibara Ai to be speechless for a while.

She gave Hoshino Ki a "speechless" look.

"According to the latest information released in writing, this game called 'Cocoon' allows players to enter capsules like silkworm cocoons."

"In a hypnotic state, with a game that has a voice recognition system,"

"players can play in the virtual world while having conversations."

"It can truly be said to be a game that gathers the essence of the world's most advanced technology."

"This game provides five stages for players to play freely."

"What kind of virtual world is it?"

"We will know after the children experience it today."

"It's a presentation that is completely closed to the public!"

"The 50 teenagers under high school age who were selected to participate will become the first batch of Cocoon experiencers in Japan."

"Di!"

Hoshino picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

Then he stood up, ready to go to his room to change clothes.

Since it was attending a presentation,

he couldn't lose face in his attire.

"Wait, are you deciding to go to this game presentation?"

Haibara Ai hurriedly stood up.

She looked as if she was a bit hesitant.

"???"

Hoshino Ki turned around and looked down at her.

His pitch-black eyes contained not a trace of impurity.

He opened his mouth slightly:

"En! Is there a problem?"

In the original anime, Haibara Ai should have gone too.

Why did she seem unwilling to go now?

"Your current identity... is it okay? There will be many reporters there..."

Haibara Ai looked at Hoshino Ki with worry.

So she was considering it for Hoshino Ki.

Knowing that Hoshino Ki didn't like appearing in front of the media and the public,

she was hesitant about this trip.

Hoshino Ki squatted down and gently stroked the back of Haibara Ai's neck.

"As long as you are happy..."

What a great statement!

It was simply a manifestation of sacrificing oneself and dedicating to one's family.

This was the greatest head of the household in the world!

Haibara Ai's face turned red.

She truly hadn't expected Hoshino Ki to be willing to take them to this presentation.

Originally, she and Ai were very happy about being invited to attend the presentation.

But the invitation mentioned that it must be accompanied by a parent.

This had truly stumped Haibara Ai.

There were so many reporters at the presentation site.

If she insisted on Hoshino Ki going with them,

he would definitely feel annoyed.

But she didn't want to miss this rare opportunity for the whole family to go out and participate in an activity.

Just as she was caught in a dilemma, Ai ran home covered in blood.

It made her focus entirely on worrying about Hoshino Ki's life safety,

with no time to care about the presentation.

She was just planning to call the teacher to decline the invitation.

She hadn't expected Hoshino Ki to return just at this time.

Not only did he not lose his temper and punish Ai,

but he also decided to take them out to play.

Most importantly, everything was considered from their perspective.

How could one not be happy about this?

A restless heart was put at ease the moment she saw Hoshino Ki.

This was probably the ultimate "sense of security," right?

"Then... I'll go change clothes too!"

Haibara Ai's face was red enough to explode.

Under Hoshino Ki's affectionate gaze,

she ran upstairs shyly in a flash.

Hoshino Ki stood up and shook his head helplessly.

Ai was truly too cute.

Clearly wanting to go, yet insisting on putting on a look of not caring.

Truly the definition of a tsundere!

After more than an hour,

the family appeared in the garage, looking neat and tidy.

"Wow! Ki! Is this the new car you just bought?"

"Is this a Ferrari?"

"It looks so expensive!"

Miyano Akemi had just entered the garage and was captivated by the red Ferrari in front of her.

No one in this world could resist the temptation of a luxury car.

Hoshino Ki took out the gift boxes from his space and came to Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai.

He looked at the red Ferrari on the side,

and then said nonchalantly:

"Oh... it was a gift from the Organization!"

"Eh!?"

Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai turned their heads to look at Hoshino Ki in unison,

both with expressions of shock.

Just as the two women hadn't recovered from the shock,

Hoshino Ki suddenly took out two gift boxes from behind him,

handing one to each of them.

Hoshino Ki's indifferent expression had never changed.

He still had his pitch-black eyes open,

as if they were bottomless abysses, staring tightly at the two sisters.

If it weren't for the fact that they had lived together for years and were very familiar with each other,

Hoshino Ki's current appearance would make people think he wanted to silence the sisters,

which was why he had presented them with some dangerous items.

The boxes didn't contain gifts, they might be bombs!

"What is this?"

Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai were both confused.

"A gift for you."

The two sisters were instantly stunned in place upon hearing this.

After reacting for a while, the two pairs of eyes gradually filled with a moved glow.

Miyano Akemi raised her hands to cover her lips.

Her blue eyes were already covered in a layer of mist,

as if there was a sign of tears in the next second.

Despite this, she still took the gift box.

She opened the gift box with excitement.

Beside her, Haibara Ai had a look of shock,

then stiffly took the gift box from Hoshino Ki's hand.

This was the first gift Hoshino Ki had ever given her.

Just as she had opened the gift box,

a burst of excited shouting came from Miyano Akemi beside her:

"Ah! It's so beautiful! It's a necklace!"

Miyano Akemi took out the necklace inside carefully,

then leaned toward Haibara Ai and asked,

"Ai, what is your gift?"

Haibara Ai looked at her gift in a daze.

"It's a bracelet!"

"So beautiful..."

A flash of white light flickered in her ice-blue eyes.

Sure enough...

Girls could never resist the temptation of something glittering!

After receiving the gifts, the sisters were both full of joy.

They put the jewelry on for each other,

and even admired themselves in the car's rearview mirror for a long time.

Because this pair of jewelry was from the same brand,

from the appearance, the two looked like a pair of related—mother and daughter!

Hoshino Ai, standing on the side, didn't feel disappointed because she hadn't received a gift,

because she had long ago received the gift Hoshino Ki had given her.

That exquisite little dagger was hidden by her under her pillow at home.

It was just a pity that she couldn't wear it on her body,

because Sister Ai had told her that entering the City Hall required a security check.

If it was discovered that she had a weapon on her,

she would be directly caught and thrown into prison.

After the two lingered for a while longer,

Hoshino Ki urged them to hurry up and get in the car to leave.

It seemed the two sisters really liked the gifts Hoshino Ki had given them,

because since getting in the car, their attention hadn't been on the car or the scenery outside,

but on constantly touching their gifts and checking themselves in the mirror from time to time.

Especially Miyano Akemi.
