Chapter 714: A transitional chapter with an unknown name
"By the way, Xiaolan, I suddenly remembered that I went to the office to play with you at first." said Martin Sakamoto.
Ai Huihara sighed softly. Should I say that a cat's memory is as good as a cat's? This guy probably forgot about asking Maori Kogoro to open the door, and it took him eight or nine hours to remember it.
"Is there something wrong, Martin?" Xiaolan was actually a little concerned about the phone call Conan had just received, but when she heard Martin's words, she turned her head back.
"I just talked about it last night. Divide the spoils."
As Martin was talking, Huihara Ai took off the small backpack she was carrying and took out a beautiful little wooden box from it. Before leaving Vespania, Queen Mira paid them the reward for protecting her along the way and helping her inherit the throne.
Because Vespania was greatly affected by the Pokémon transformations at the time, it was decided to leave them overnight to see which ones would remain and which would disappear before redistributing them.
This morning, Martin's original plan was to find Xiaolan to share his reward, and to take the two little guests to visit the Great Detective. However, after he joked a few words with Mouri Kogoro, and then another client came, Martin forgot about it.
After opening the wooden box, Mao Lilan saw the jewels inside the box. She first widened her eyes, then shook her head: "No, no, Martin, I can't accept it."
"This is not a gift to you. This is a proper distribution of remuneration. The target of protection is a member of the royal family, and he is a stand-in bodyguard. He did encounter and resist three attacks, plus he participated in the struggle for succession. The price is not low according to the market price." Martin lay on Dongyun Nano's head and wagged his tail: "Because I have already paid Riko's remuneration to her, I took my share and Riko's share together. You can pick one third of these, Xiaolan."
Because there was no money in the account, Queen Mira used jewelry, which had a large fluctuation in value, to pay the reward. Normally, the jewelry should be valued first and then distributed according to the value, but Martin was too lazy to bother with it, so he just let everyone go by quantity. Anyway, Xiao Heizi, who was proficient in jewelry identification skills, would make the final distribution.
If Kogoro Mouri were still alive, he might have accepted it on behalf of Xiaolan in a very ungraceful way?
After hearing what Martin said, Mao Lilan carefully observed the jewels and said, "Come to think of it, that big pink diamond was not preserved?"
The pink gem that contains Diancie's power is really beautiful.
"Actually, I saved two, but I picked them out first to use as feed for making iron eggs."
As Martin raised it, a red light flashed and small diamonds floated out of the Poké Ball.
"Ah, the princess's little diamonds! You have also been preserved." Mao Lilan just learned about this and took the initiative to touch the little diamonds, her eyes full of love.
It has a cute appearance, a shiny body, and it’s a living animal. How can there be such a foul creature!
"But Martin, do you really want to call it Tiedan? It's so pitiful." Xiaolan felt it was a pity.
"How about giving it to you, Xiaolan, if you like it?" Martin suggested, "I'll also give Tiedan two years' worth of food as a gift."
"Rations, what does Tiedan eat...ah! Gems?" Mao Lilan reacted. Martin just said that he had taken two pink diamonds as feed for Tiedan.
Xiaolan, who had been moved for a moment, shook her head frantically: I can’t afford it, I really can’t!
It seems that Tiedan can only ask Suzuki Sonoko whether she is willing to take this task.
As for the Queen's reward, Xiaolan couldn't resist Martin's insistence and picked some pearl jewelry. Generally speaking, pearls are less valuable than gems.
Even so, Xiaolan still felt it was too hot to hold.
"Don't worry, Xiaolan, your work is worth the money." Martin reminded: "Why don't you be a bodyguard in the future? Female bodyguards have always been in high demand, and the money you will earn in the future will not be less than this, just don't be a bodyguard for the former Prime Minister. And don't bring a great detective to work, otherwise you won't be able to protect anyone."
After saying that, Sakamoto Martin and Xiaolan looked down at Conan with disdain.
Conan sniffed and ignored them both.
But let’s talk about the future later. It is obvious that Xiaolan has no career plans now. Instead, she is very interested in the future of others.
"Martin, what's going to happen between you and Princess Mira... no, the Queen? What are you going to do to her?" A pair of big, watery eyes of Cassandra blinked, with 'eight' written on her left eye and 'gossip' written on her right eye - Martin was always teasing her and Shinichi, and finally he found a chance to gossip.
"The two of us... let's have a 57-year long-distance relationship as a probation period, and by the way, see to what extent she can govern the country." Martin Sakamoto was lying on top of Tounome Nano's head, saying while dozing off.
You don't need to look down to know that although Shinonome Nano doesn't know who Queen Mira is, her nature as a high school girl makes her wait and watch the fun with anticipation.
"Eh? Martin is joking again." Xiaolan was a little dissatisfied.
"No, Martin Gege, when has he ever lied to anyone?" Martin closed his eyes and said, "Xiaolan, your idea is weird. The Queen has a crush on me, that's her business. Do I really have an obligation to respond to her and fall in love with her?"
"There are at least 80 or 90 boys in school who like Xiaolan, if not 300 or 500. Do they have a shoe cabinet full of love letters? Xiaolan has never thought that she has to accept them, right?"
"Not that many... Does that mean Martin doesn't like Mira?" After all, Mao Lilan felt it was a pity to treat Mira as a friend.
"It's not something that can be said with absolute certainty. After all, we don't know each other at all." Martin said seriously, "So let's just keep talking about the long-distance relationship first and get to know each other better. Who knows, maybe in the future I'll fall in love with her, but she won't be interested in me anymore?"
"And you're so enthusiastic, Xiaolan. If Mira and I fall in love, when you two swap identities in the future...will the great detective be jealous?"
"Tsk, no way!" Xiaolan realized that she was being teased, and made a face at Martin, then asked, "What kind of girls does Martin like?"
As a friend, Xiaolan still wanted to help Queen Mira figure out how to capture Martin. But while asking the question, Mao Lilan subconsciously looked at Haibara Ai who was yawning and seemed to have no interest in the topic.
"Well...it has to be a woman who is so outstanding that I can be amazed, the kind that I admire, right?" Martin thought about it very seriously: "It's human nature to like someone who is better than oneself, right?"
"grumble!"
"Of course we can lower our standards for our little bunny. Well, for the bunny, a bachelor's degree is enough."
"Jiji?" O_O?
Mao Lilan was a little bit unconvinced, or rather unwilling to accept it: "Is what Martin said true?"
"Martin Pigeon deceived you?"
"It must have been a lie!"
Conan on the side interrupted and said, "It's easy to get the truth out of Martin, but it's hard to get the real truth out of him."
Behind Conan, Haibara Ai's expression changed, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
Martin Sakamoto opened his eyes and squinted: "Hey, the great detective still dares to speak, where is your true words? Can you tell them?"
"Yes." Conan was not at all panicked by the fire. The listlessness brought by the cold made him even more calm. "I can take it out right away when I return to my original form."
"Eh!?" Xiaolan panicked. After all, the 'truth' in Martin and Conan's words clearly referred to confession. Doesn't Shinichi mean...
Martin: "That's easy. I'll go to a convenience store on the way home and buy you a bottle of Lao Baigan." Conan pretended not to notice Xiaolan's panic: "Of course I'm talking about the real transformation back, not the temporary one..." After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Huihara Ai behind him: "When that day will come, it depends on you."
"Please, that guy is much faster than me." Huiyuan Ai reminded: "But making the antidote is what I promised you, I will do it."
These days since returning from her trip outside the world, Haibara Ai has been taking her own research data from the parallel world and picking up the progress of the antidote development.
Seeing that Conan was acting nonchalant and didn't know what he was talking about, Xiaolan, with a red face, wanted to teach him a lesson angrily, but she let him go because he had a cold.
Xiaolan felt that she should visit Dr. Agasa after returning from abroad, so Martin and his group took Xiaolan, Conan and others back to Dr. Agasa's house.
On one side of the yard, there were two watermelon pitchers planted, eyes fixed on them from the moment they entered the yard.
To be precise, they were staring at Conan. It seemed that Conan had become the target of the watermelon pitchers' vigilance, but he was not like Okiya Subaru who would be beaten as soon as he poked his head out.
"Hey, give me two watermelons!" Martin gave the order.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Two watermelons that looked to be over 30 kilograms were thrown directly over.
Unlike when they fought the zombies and Subaru Okiya, the watermelons were thrown lightly and Xiaolan and Nanano Shinonome caught one each.
Big and sweet watermelon, perfect for entertaining guests.
"How convenient! Will we have unlimited watermelon to eat in the future?" Xiaolan exclaimed.
The little doctor's curiosity was aroused, and he ran to get closer to observe the watermelon pitcher. Dongyun Mingno was afraid that the doctor would be in danger, so he held the watermelon in one hand and grabbed the doctor with the other.
"Doctor! Watermelons are very heavy. If they hit you, it will be terrible..."
The little doctor had his arm grabbed by Mingno and his feet slipped on the spot, but he still ran hard in the direction of the watermelon pitcher. Finally, Mingno's arm could not bear the burden and was pulled down by the little doctor.
The young professor stopped and looked back at Mingno, and the half of Mingno's arm that was exposed after being pulled down was like a machine gun. "Ah..."
"Doctor!" Seeing the disobedient Touno Mingno, she suddenly became angry, especially since she had always been ashamed to show her robot side in front of others. The spring on her back also rotated a circle by itself.
Then, tongues of fire suddenly spurted out from the muzzle of the machine gun in Mingno's hand.
Da da da da da da da…
Ten seconds later, the little doctor was lying dead on the grass, with a lot of smoking soybeans scattered on her white coat.
The two watermelon shooters looked at Mingno with a different look: Pea Shooter! Even if you become a girl, we can still recognize you! How did you grow legs? For the sake of your comrades, help your brother!
"Come to think of it, the retention mechanism has been a bit too rampant since I came back." Sakamoto Martin muttered, "On the first day after I came back, I turned into Dave, and my cousin retained more plant seeds than I expected. But when I turned into Xiaolan, I didn't find that he retained anything. In the next two days, he retained Riko, Tiedan, and Butterfree respectively."
This is actually very unusual. The preservation mechanism is not such a cheap thing. Martin's superpowers have appeared for nearly twenty years, and the things that have been preserved in the past are only placed in the warehouse in his house.
To put it simply, the retention mechanism is that a person or object that does not originally belong to this world has left too deep a trace in this world, and the world does not have the strength to erase it when it tries to erase the influence of the transformation.
Now that the retention mechanism is rampant...I'm afraid this world is about to be ruined by itself.
Referring to the future that can be seen from Suzuha, I will stitch this world and other worlds together in the future, and now it seems that day is not far away.
While making plans in their minds, everyone and the little doctor who had been revived to full health walked into Dr. Agasa's house.
As soon as I came in, I saw Dr. Agasa flying upside down on the ceiling.
“Ahhhhhhh help—!”
If the Doctor hadn't screamed while flying, he would still be pretty handsome.
The people who walked in the door caught Dr. Agasa's attention, and then Dr. Agasa fell to the ground and even bounced.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Dr. Agasa was standing on the "Newton's coffin board skateboard" made for Conan.
During the day when Martin and others were out, Dr. Agasa organized the inventions he had discussed with Dr. Shinonome in the morning into notes. Then, wanting to get more knowledge from the little doctor, he took out his other inventions in the hope of arousing the little doctor's interest.
Tracking glasses and tracking stickers may not be interesting for children, so they are ruled out. Foot-strengthening shoes and anesthetic watches are too dangerous for children, so they are ruled out. Then there is the latest masterpiece, the solar skateboard, but it is also a bit dangerous for children.
In order to reduce the danger, Dr. Agasa decided to add two bindings to prevent the user from falling, just like on a snowboard, before showing it to the little doctor. Then, after trying it himself and accidentally hitting the ceiling, he found that the skateboard became more dangerous with the addition of the bindings.
Dr. Agasa climbed up with his butt sticking out: "Xiaolan, new... Conan?"
Mao Lilan came over: "Doctor, we are here."
The little doctor replied: "I am a doctor."
Dongyun Mingno pulled her and said, "Doctor, the doctor Xiaolan is talking about is Grandpa Agasa."
Dr. Agasa, who has been promoted to a grandfather, feels a little embarrassed, especially when he stands in front of the young doctor. His level as an inventor and doctor seems a little low.
But soon Conan's cough attracted Dr. Agasa's attention: "Conan, do you have a cold? Have you taken medicine?"
Throwing away the cat above her head, Haibara Ai went back to her room and changed her clothes for going out.
Conan said with a half-moon eye: "Thanks to a certain cat, I got a cold medicine from the Metropolitan Police Department."
"Metropolitan Police Department...another case has occurred." Dr. Agasa smiled awkwardly.
Mao Lilan thought about it: "Come to think of it, it seems that there is no cold medicine at home. I have to buy medicine for Conan on the way home."
"Wait a minute, let me look for it." Dr. Agasa walked to the drawer under the computer desk, opened it and flipped through it, and found a bottle of cold medicine: "Give this bottle of medicine to Shin... Conan first, it will expire soon if you don't take it."
