Chapter 104 - Children

In any case, Kurokawa Saki returned to Tokyo earlier than the others.

She knew that Conan would definitely solve the puzzle and so on, but it had nothing to do with her.

Moreover, Kurokawa Saki had no intention of disrupting this plot, especially since there shouldn't be any death in the cases related to Kaito Kid.

Her goal when she came here was nothing more than to get some of Kaito Kid's DNA.

That brat was still very careless. 

Kurokawa Saki remembered that the high school detective whom she forgot the name seemed to have guessed that Kaito Kid is Kuroba Kaito because they were classmates. But she didn't remember the exact details.

Only that the clues seemed to be related to hair. 

Of course, Kurokawa Saki would not catch Kaito Kid.

She's not working with Inspector Nakamori, so Kurokawa Saki didn't have the obligation to catch Kaito Kid.

Hmm… it was a bit lonely to go back on her own, though.

But when looking at the chat, Kurokawa Saki could see how happy no. 12 and no. 6 were when they were busy chasing stars. 

It was now already at the time when they gathered in that castle.

No. 12 mentioned something about fire, but Kurokawa Saki only stared blankly at the message because she couldn't remember the cases.

Anyway, there wouldn't be any death.

Her team had also returned to Tokyo.

Kurokawa Saki rubbed her chin, thinking about what she should do later.

Should she go to the organization's laboratory?

She did obtain the permission, but it was not that easy to take out the medicine there without reasons. Otherwise, what happened to her would be the same as those people not long ago. Kurokawa Saki would not make such a low level mistake.

…Though, that game of chase was basically done on purpose. 

'Hmm, isn't that Haibara Ai and the others?' Kurokawa Saki saw the four children walking on their own without any adult supervision. 

Kurokawa Saki frowned.

It was fine when Conan was around because that brat was not exactly a brat.

Even if the Junior Detective Group were to go out on their own, it would not have that much impact or anything like that.

But this time, Conan was still in Osaka. 

Or rather, he's still in the cruise ship heading to Tokyo. 

Haibara Ai was indeed not a child, but Kurokawa Saki was still a bit worried for these children.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to stop nearby and saw what the children were up to. Of course, Kurokawa Saki purposely restrained her edges, lest Haibara Ai mistook her for an organization member and became terrified all of the sudden.

'Come to think about it, I rarely see Haibara Ai wander around without Conan…'

Kurokawa Saki always saw the two children together in the past.

She walked forward and saw Genta trotting forward, seemingly impatient. Seeing the car that was about to graze him, Kurokawa Saki directly rush forward and grabbed Genta before he could continue walking.

"Watch out!" Haibara Ai's shout and Kurokawa Saki's movements were almost in sync.

"A…." Genta was stunned and then shivered in fear. If he had continued rushing forward, he would have been knocked by the car.

"Genta!"

"Genta, are you alright?"

Kurokawa Saki put Genta down and the children gathered together, obediently thanking her. "Thank you, Hikari Nee."

The children recognized Kurokawa Saki as Hikari Yuki because they have a lot of fun playing together in Professor Agasa's house before. 

"You should watch where you're going next time." Kurokawa Saki crossed her arms as she looked at Genta sternly. "If I hadn't been here, what do you think would have happened?"

Genta, who was frightened, trembled due to Kurokawa Saki's cold aura. Even though Kurokawa Saki didn't really use the extremely frightening cold aura developed in the Black Organization, her stern expression was still really scary.

Even the other two children trembled and Haibara Ai also felt a bit guilty subconsciously.

He didn't dare to say anything and could only obediently say, "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

"Since you know you were wrong, what should you do next time?" Kurokawa Saki continued. 

Genta obediently said, "I won't run around, and I'll watch where I'm going."

"Since you know that, do you know what the consequences will be if you do it again?"

Genta thought about the car that almost hit him and he nodded like chicken pecking like rice. "I know, I won't do it again."

Hearing Genta admitting his mistake obediently, Kurokawa Saki finally smiled and stopped emitting the cold and stern aura. "Ok, since everything is alright, you just need to remember this lesson and don't do it again."

Kurokawa Saki rubbed Genta's round head and chuckled.

She remembered Conan's round head from before and it seemed to be quite similar to Genta's current head. 

"Yes!"

The three children were really obedient now. 

"By the way, why are you here without any adult supervision?" This time Kurokawa Saki turned to look at Haibara Ai since she was basically a fake child among the four children in front of her.

"There's a Kamen Rider event and we heard that we can get badge by participating, so we're coming here," Haibara Ai replied while pointing forward. 

Kurokawa Saki saw where Haibara Ai pointed at and saw the lively event area not far away from the park. It was indeed nearby and there were many children there. No wonder that the children didn't have any adult supervision.

"Would you like to come with us, Hikari Nee?" Ayumi asked, tugging Kurokawa Saki's sleeve shyly. 

She really likes this big sister and even though the scene just now was scary, but it showed how much Kurokawa Saki cares for them.

"Okay, I'll follow along with you," Kurokawa Saki said with a smile.

"Yesss!" The children cheered happily and then they started to tell stories about Kamen Rider to Kurokawa Saki, completely forgetting the stiff atmosphere from before.

Haibara Ai saw Kurokawa Saki patiently listening and even listing out some other things that she never knew.

Haibara Ai: "..."

When did you have time to pay attention to Kamen Rider???

She felt that her understanding of Hikari Yuki was getting overturned over and over again.

'And that aura didn't seem like the black organization… more like an angry parent to their children.' Haibara Ai shook her head helplessly. 

Soon, they reached the area and participated in it. It was just a simple answering related questions about Kamen Rider, the kind of question that any fan would be able to answer. In this way, all the children soon received the badge they wanted. 

"It's a bit hot, do you want some ice cream?" Kurokawa Saki offered as she pointed to the nearby convenience store.

The three children immediately nodded and Haibara Ai thought for a moment before agreeing.

In this way, the five of them entered the convenience store and Kurokawa Saki let them choose whatever flavor they wanted to eat. 

She would not restrict them. 

Just as the children were picking, there was a cry of panic from the counter: "My wallet is gone!"

Kurokawa Saki was stunned.

Conan is not here… so why is there still a case???
