"Dang Dang Dang~" Asano Kyoko said in her mouth, pushed Haihara Ai out, and said proudly: "How is it, young master? This is my proud work!"

Kitahara Sosuke, who was sitting at the table reading the newspaper, raised his eyes and thought that there was another little girl in the family.

The reddish-brown hair was tied into an intricate hairstyle with colored rubber bands, fully demonstrating what a "fancy updo" is, and it would not be inferior even if she immediately became a flower girl at a wedding.

but……

"It looks good, but it's too complicated." Kitahara Sosuke commented.

"That's what I told her too." Haiyuan Ai said with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "And there's no way I can get this kind of hairstyle by myself when I go back."

"As long as you stay here, Xiao Ai, it will be fine! I will help you style your hair differently every day! I guarantee that other children will envy you!" Kyoko Asano's thoughts were clear.

Haihara Ai: "It's impossible. I will leave after the doctor comes back in two days."

Kyoko Asano: "Can't you stay a few more days?"

"cannot."

Kyoko Asano:╯﹏╰

Haibara Ai looked at Kitahara Sosuke asking for help.

Kitahara Sosuke: "Kyoko, give her a simple and beautiful hairstyle. It should be obviously different from her previous appearance."

Asano Kyoko drooped her shoulders in frustration: "Okay, okay, I understand. How about a single ponytail? It's the simplest, and it will also look very energetic!"

A few minutes later……

Looking at the "ponytail" that was not long enough, Kithara Aoi thought to herself: 'Is this Haihara Ai's version of Wu Liuqi?'

"No, change it."

ten minutes later……

The bangs in front of Haihara Ai's forehead were slightly straightened, with double ponytails on both sides, and a small hairpin in the shape of a bow. The ends of the hair were wavy and curled, making her look as cute as a doll.

"Um……"

Kitahara Sosuke touched his chin.

Very cute...but a little too cute, not so "Haihara Ai".

In other words, the bigger the difference from the original her, the better?

"Let's try something else." After looking in front of the mirror again and again, she finally felt that she couldn't compromise her aesthetics, so Haihara Ai made a decision.

Another ten minutes later...

The height of the twin ponytails dropped and turned into a pair of braids. There was also a flower-shaped crystal hairpin on the temples, which gave it an extraordinarily fresh and innocent beauty.

"It's a wig, it's a wig! Anyway, your hair will grow long soon, wouldn't it look good if it was tied like this?" Yonehara Sakurako came to inquire with her eyes shining, and she strongly recommended it.

"It looks good, but let's change her hairstyle to one she can wear now."

So next, Kitahara Sosuke actually watched a dress-up show live.

The ball-headed Haihara Ai...

The same style as Chibi Maruko-chan Haibara Ai...

Her hair was combed back, with small tangled hair tied on both sides...

After breakfast, the costume show continued, and the team doubled in size—other members of the Kitahara family also participated.

Hikaru Sakata "was ordered to do so at the last moment". It only took him ten minutes to purchase a box of headwear, including various rubber bands, hairpins, hairbands, headbands, claw clips, hairpins, flower crowns, hairbands, crystal crowns, etc. Some of them

Kitahara Sosuke had never heard of it, and he didn't know where he bought these complete tools.

So Kitahara Sosuke saw all kinds of Haibara Ai again, and felt that she could change her name to "Hundred Years of Ai". At first, Haibara Ai enthusiastically participated in giving opinions, but later she became like any other person who was adopted by her mother.

Like a child who keeps changing and trying on clothes, his eyes have lost their brightness, as if he has turned into a robot that can only speak fixed sentences——

"no!"

"no!"

"not good!"

"dislike!"

In her heart, Haiyuan Ai just wanted this matter to end quickly, but a certain kind of girl's delicate thoughts made her not want to choose anyone to fool her. She wanted to say that she should do it as before... But this matter was her first

As mentioned, if after everyone has put in huge efforts, time and energy, it suddenly stops midway and vetoes everyone's efforts, wouldn't it be like that "the plan has been modified more than a dozen times, but the first one was still chosen in the end"

"Is Party A just as hateful?

So she... endured it!

Just after Haihara Ai walked out of the bedroom after changing her hairstyle for the unknown number of times, she found that almost no one raised any objections this time.

Kyoko Asano: "So cute~ Like a little fairy!"

Yonehara Sakurako: "It's very suitable for Xiao Ai!"

Gardener Hikaru Sakata: "Perfect!"

Chef Akita Naoto: "...Is it too late for me to give birth to a daughter?"

Doorman Yoshinaga Junpei: "Damn it, it's much better than my opinion! Someone will definitely come to Xiaoai as a model when walking on the street, right?"

Haihara Ai looked at Kitahara Sosuke who was sitting among the crowd.

The black-haired young man nodded with satisfaction and said, "As expected of you, Kamino."

Shenye Dongzai stood aside, showing a proud yet reserved smile.

——This was...passed unanimously?

Hui Yuan Ai blinked and looked at the full-length mirror aside.

There are no more than double-digit colored rubber bands, there are no various hairpins and wigs, there are no countless braids, or there are complicated twisting methods hidden in seemingly simple hairstyles, and there are no various difficult-to-make hairstyles.

Endurance of weird looks.

The girl in the mirror is wearing a simple white dress with some decorative light blue patterns on the hem. The waves of her hair are straightened, making her appear longer than before, slightly over her shoulders, and her hair is slightly curled at the end.

, looking fluffy yet playful. There are strands of hair on both sides tied up with blue hairbands. The cute bows neutralize the coldness and melancholy on her face, making her look just a little quiet.

little girl.

Kitahara Sosuke felt that even if she said pessimistic words or ignored others coldly, others would not think that this girl was withdrawn and cold, but that they should feel ashamed of themselves and reflect on whether they had said the wrong thing.

"How about we decide on this for now?" Kitahara Sosuke asked: "If we have a better idea in the future, we can change it?"

Hui Yuan Ai nodded and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Shenye, and everyone."

"You're welcome." Shenye Dong bowed slightly and said, "It is my greatest honor to satisfy Miss Xiao Ai."

……………………

During the seven days that Dr. Ali left, the Young Detective Team lived a fulfilling life every day.

On the first day of school, I heard that there was a murder case on the way home from school.

The next day I went to the stadium to watch a game and encountered indiscriminate intimidation.

On the third day, I happened to meet Sosuke Kitahara who was taking notes, and by the way, I watched the attempted murder of a police officer.

On the fourth day of school, I helped my classmates solve a small task of finding a cat.

On the fifth day of rest, Ayumi and the other two went to play football. Conan followed Mouri Kogoro to once again solve a case in which his sister murdered his own sister. Haibara Ai was changing costumes.

The sixth day was another holiday. Dr. Agasa had previously agreed to take the young detective team to camp, but the doctor hadn't come back yet. Several children called Kitahara's house and made hesitant requests. Kitahara Sosuke had nothing to do with him anyway.

thing, I agreed.

With his current financial resources, he is enough to prepare a gorgeous and comfortable car to take the children for a day of fun. But considering that Dr. Ali, who usually takes them camping, only has a yellow antique Beetle, it is too early

Being exposed to this kind of travel method with a large gap between the rich and the poor may make them dislike the doctor's Beetle, and then have some vanity thoughts. In the end, Kitahara Sosuke chose an ordinary family van.

The car, according to what Haibara Ai said, prepared some ingredients and camping tools that Dr. Ali usually prepared for them. But in the end, when setting off, Akita Naoto stuffed a bunch of snacks and juice drinks that he made himself.

.

Kitahara Sosuke drove by himself and took Haibara Ai to the appointed place to meet up. As soon as he got out of the car, Haibara Ai, who had changed into a new look, attracted everyone's attention.

Ayumi: "Ka... kawaii (so cute)..."

Mitsuhiko:...(blushing, shy)

Yuantai: "Who are you?"

"Idiot, this is Haiyuan!" Conan rolled his eyes at him and his face turned slightly red.

Haibara Ai forcibly suppressed the shyness and a little bit of joy in her heart, nodded coldly, and greeted each one: "Yoshida-kun, Tsuburaya-kun, Kojima-kun, Edogawa-kun."

Kitahara Sosuke helped them put their things into the car and said, "Okay, hurry up and get in the car."

"Hi~" a group of children responded.

In a camping trip, several children can have fun by themselves. Some things they are not good at handling - such as finding ingredients, making a fire or setting up a tent, can be completed with the help of Haihara Ai and Conan. Basically

There was no need to trouble Kitahara Sosuke with anything. He originally thought that he would meet college students or people from travel agencies who were also camping, and then encounter a murder case, but he didn't expect that nothing happened during the two days and one night of camping.

It's surprisingly peaceful.

Just when Kitahara Sosuke thought that the day was going to end like this, and that Haibara Aihei could be sent back to Dr. Agasa's house safely tomorrow, he heard a loud noise from the car, the body of the car suddenly tilted, and he hurriedly stepped on the brakes.

There is a feeling in my heart that the second shoe has finally landed.

"What, what's wrong?" Ayumi, who was drowsy in the car, was frightened and woke up.

"It seems like a tire burst." Conan asked the front: "Kitahara...Brother, do you have a spare tire?"

Kitahara Sosuke: "...Yes."

He remembered that in the plot, when Dr. Agasa or Kogoro Mori took Conan out, they would often encounter accidents on the road. It was a common operation for a car to have a flat tire, and then he had to ask for help because he didn't bring a spare tire, and then he was involved in a murder case.

...So before going out, he specifically checked the safety of the car. He brought two spare tires, one in the trunk and one tied under the body.

But now... the car that was fine at first suddenly had a flat tire, so the spare tire he prepared in advance must have disappeared, right?

At the moment when the tire burst, he felt that he really felt the existence of the world's will. But if the world's will can even take away his spare tire, wouldn't it be a bit unscrupulous?

With this thought in mind, Kitahara Sosuke immediately got out of the car, opened the trunk and saw the spare tire lying inside, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The flat tire or something...should be just a coincidence, right?

At this time, several children who also got off the bus suddenly exclaimed: "Wow~ It's so spectacular!"

"How can there be such a building in the forest!"

"It's like a foreign castle!"

Kitahara Sosuke, who had just taken out the spare tire, looked up and saw a magnificent blue-roofed castle standing in the forest, which attracted people's attention. Even though they could only see part of the castle from their position, it still made people feel proud.

Surprised.

Conan's half-moon eye said: "It must have been a rich man who bought a foreign castle and reassembled it here, right?"

Yuantai ran over excitedly and shouted: "What are you waiting for? Let's go exploring!"

"Hey, Genta, you can't go in without permission!" Ayumi and Mitsuhiko hurriedly followed behind.

Kitahara Sosuke was about to capture a few children when he suddenly felt that the card started to heat up——
Chapter completed!
