Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 444 Do something interesting

"Oh, this suspense is making me quite curious. Why don't we just sleep until we disembark?"

Qi Ming took out the movies and saw that Ai Haibara had come back after catching her breath. Qi Ming smiled and said to Ai Haibara.

"None of us will get any sleep tonight. Let's do something fun."

Watching a movie alone is not enough; the characters in the movie must also watch it together.

"!!"

Yes, interesting things?

Still confused, Ai Haibara froze on the spot, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

What was Qi Ming thinking when he was only gone for a short while?

As if to prove that she was hallucinating, Ai Haibara hesitated before asking Qi Ming.

"What did you say?"

"I said let's do something fun tonight."

Once she confirmed it wasn't a hallucination, Ai Haibara's body stiffened instantly.

"...What are you saying, you pervert!"

She glared at Qi Ming fiercely, then awkwardly turned her face away, trying to remain calm.

However, as Qi Ming drew closer, her heart began to pound.

Could it be that Qi Ming's mind is particularly unserious because he was slacking off today?

That's possible!

Just now, they were spying on him—no, they were observing him—and he was hugging and acting like a baby. This doesn't seem normal at all, does it?

Could it be that people get tired of being well-fed and clothed, and they feel unbalanced and want to make up for it because they see that others have had good outcomes?

But in my current state, there's nothing I can do!

"You, don't come over."

Seeing that Qi Ming had already pushed her against the wall, Ai Haibara swallowed hard.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Okay, at most I'll let you hug me for a little while, and then..."

Ai Haibara lowered her head and responded softly. Realizing what she had said, she immediately became extremely shy.

And then, and then what?

Ai Haibara had no idea what she was thinking, her mind a jumbled mess.

However, Qi Ming spoke up the very next second after she finished speaking.

"Tonight, we can watch a movie while playing an exciting and thrilling mobile game ranked match."

"No, absolutely not, you have to... um?"

Ai Haibara quickly shook her head in refusal, but upon hearing Qi Ming's words, her shoulders trembled, and she raised her head again, somewhat bewildered.

"What did you say?"

"I said let's watch a movie. Do you remember that movie we watched a long time ago? Today, let's watch five more at double speed."

As if to make things clearer, Qi Ming even dug out that old movie.

"This, this is it."

However, even though she already knew the truth, Ai Haibara felt even more ashamed.

I shouldn't have expected this guy to be romantic... no, maybe he is.

Ai Haibara was certain that Qi Ming had said those words on purpose.

He could have simply suggested watching a movie together that night, but instead he insisted on bringing up exciting or unexciting topics, making me overthink things...

So the problem actually lies with her?

"Why are you so resistant just because I asked you to watch a movie with me?"

Qi Ming scrutinized Ai Haibara's expression and asked, feigning confusion.

After all, what he just said was really intentional.

"...It's nothing, I don't object."

"I was just curious what you were thinking just now. At most, you let me hold you... So, what happened next?"

"I don't know, don't ask me."

……

Time slowly passed, and the sky visible from the airship turned into night.

"Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is ready. Please come to the dining room."

As soon as Suzuki Jirokichi's voice came over the loudspeaker, everyone left their rooms and headed to the restaurant.

However, the mercenary Suzuki Jirokichi didn't plan to call for help. They were still tied up in the room, and they wouldn't starve to death after one night.

In the restaurant.

It must be said that the chef on this spaceship is quite professional. Despite being in such a critical situation, he still managed to cook a delicious meal.

The expressions on the faces of the people at the dinner table ranged from joyful to worried.

While Conan, Professor Agasa, Heiji Hattori, Kaito Kuroba, and others who already know the truth are happy, those who are unaware of the truth are worried.

"I don't know if this is the last meal."

The chubby reporter mechanically picked up food with his chopsticks. He had come to terms with it, and his mood had changed from initial irritability to current depression.

Hearing this, the crowd, who had been optimistic just moments before, and who had also drunk a lot of chicken soup from Suzuki Jirokichi, felt hopeful despite their bad mood.

However, after this rhythm master mentioned it, a dark cloud rose in their hearts again.

They ate the food in small bites. The food had tasted delicious just now, but now it tasted like cardboard.

"..."

Seeing that the chubby reporter had suddenly made the atmosphere in the room cold, Sonoko Suzuki looked at the red spots on her arms, suppressed her fear, and stood up cheerfully with a smile.

"Don't be so discouraged, everyone. Look at me, even those who have symptoms haven't said anything."

"Besides, we can disembark for treatment tomorrow, so we'll definitely be fine."

"..."

She's such a kind and understanding girl.

Ai Haibara glanced at the red spots on Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri's arms and asked Qi Ming in a low voice.

What's causing the red spots on their arms?

"Ok?"

Qi Ming, who was eating heartily, stopped temporarily when he heard Ai Haibara's voice.

"It looks like there's some kind of paint or something on Fujioka Takamichi's hands. He must have touched them at some point."

"I reckon that layer of paint will probably be washed off after they take a shower tonight."

"..."

Seeing that this young lady of high social standing was so easygoing, the passersby felt a little better.

Even Sonoko Suzuki and Jirokichi Suzuki, whose lives are so precious, are so open-minded. What kind of people are they, acting so hesitantly?

Seeing this, Kaito Kuroba spoke to the others at the opportune moment.

"That's right, everyone, try to take it easy, let's cough cough cough!"

As he spoke, Kaito Kuroba coughed twice more, and a hint of pity appeared in the eyes of the crowd as they looked at him.

They don't have any obvious symptoms yet, but this guy is coughing so badly he's about to die.
