"That's great, you're all good kids." Hikari Yuki smiled brightly. "By the way, it's already late and I have to go back."
"I'll take you out."
"Okay."
The two walked to the gate and Hikari Yuki smiled at Haibara Ai gently. "Even though I'm not her, if you want to see me, I'm staying in the apartment beside Mouri Ran place. He knows where I live."
"Yes." Haibara Ai nodded and then asked, "Will my presence trouble you?"
"No. I have enough freedom to befriend children and to reject tasks I don't want to do." Hikari Yuki chuckled.
This meant, even if there's a mission to hunt Sherry, Hikari Yuki could reject it.
Haibara Ai trembled slightly at the mention of the organisation, but she calmed down soon enough. The confidence and calmness that Hikari Yuki showed to her comforted her.
"Thank you."
Hikari Yuki waved and left unhurriedly. She had sensed that Conan was coming back, but she had no intention of talking with the other party.
There was no need to get so involved with Conan.
He's indeed a good kid, but he's involved in too many cases. Hikari Yuki didn't want to imagine how miserable her life would be if she got closer to Conan.
It's too terrifying.
Besides, her identity was not suitable to solve cases. It's better to let other people experience it instead.
While Hikari Yuki went back, Conan also came back and the children had already returned.
Haibara Ai glanced at Conan. "Why are you here again?"
"Ah, I was worried about you, okay!" Conan thought about it again after the case was done and felt that Haibara Ai's reaction to Hikari Yuki was not right.
He had known Hikari Yuki for nearly four years even though there were a lot of times they couldn't even see each other because Hikari Yuki was staying overseas. From what he had seen so far, Hikari Yuki is a good student, had a bit of a clean freak judging by how she didn't like eating in most restaurants and always wore gloves.
Her family seemed to be well off from her clothing. She was quite meticulous in her actions and also very warm and kind on a daily basis.
But he never saw her getting close to children.
"I'm fine," Haibara Ai said sternly.
"That… Is Hikari Yuki a suspicious person?" Conan asked.
"No!" Haibara Ai almost yelled.
This made Conan stunned. He had never seen Ai lost her composure so much before.
"She… she looks like my sister," Haibara Ai said after a while.
To be honest, appearance wise, Hikari Yuki looks like a teenager at most. Moreover, Hikari Yuki is also shorter than her sister.
But she has long hair and the vibe she gave was indeed similar to her sister.
So gentle and reassuring….
