Conan: Top succubus, crazy CP

Chapter 1026 The Plan to Lead a Girl

Mihua Hotel, suite

Akai Mari—or rather, the "sister outside the domain" who now appears as a blonde and blue-eyed little loli—is sitting on a chair that is too high for her current size.

Her tiny body was almost completely hidden by the wide chair back, revealing only a golden head and a pair of blue eyes. Her two short legs in children's slippers were dangling boredly in the air, forming a sharp contrast with her stern expression.

The laptop screen in front of her was lit, displaying some encrypted information that had been obtained through special channels and with considerable effort, as well as several blurry surveillance screenshots.

One of the enlarged photos attracted her full attention.

In the photo, a girl with short brown hair and a handsome boy with black hair are shopping in a mall. The girl is holding several shopping bags in her hands and is saying something to the boy with her face turned sideways, with a relaxed smile on her face.

A girl, not a loli.

Akai Mari's turquoise eyes narrowed slightly, and her fingertips tapped the table unconsciously, making a light "da, da" sound.

This photo was taken not long ago.

What does this represent?

Was the previous intelligence wrong, and the girl named Haibara Ai wasn't actually her sister's daughter, Miyano Shiho? Or... was there some kind of antidote that could temporarily restore the body?

If it's the latter... then where does the antidote come from?

Was it provided by that young man?

How long does it last and what are the side effects?

Can it be completely detoxified?

Questions swirled in her mind.

What role does that mysterious boy play in this?

A protector? A collaborator? Or... a controller?

Just as she was lost in thought, the door of the room was pushed open with a click.

Sera Masumi rubbed her still aching butt and limped in. "Depressed" was written all over her face as she muttered quietly, "That's too much... They don't give me any respect at all... My butt hurts..."

"how is the situation?"

Akai Mari asked without even looking up, her voice childish but with her usual calmness.

"Mom!"

Sera Masumi seemed to have found her backbone. She immediately walked to the bedside in a huff, carefully sat down on one side of her butt, and began to complain exaggeratedly, "Don't mention it. It started off badly, the plan completely failed. I went to the bus as planned to create an 'encounter', but I ended up being mistaken for a pervert! And a perverted pervert who knows Jeet Kune Do!"

She recounted what happened on the bus in a flurry of exaggerations, focusing on how Hanyu Kusunoki was "rude," "ruthless," and "violent" in throwing her directly off the bus, and the painful damage she suffered on her buttocks.

"...I'm a girl! He actually threw me out like that. He's not a gentleman at all. My butt is almost broken into four pieces."

Sera Masumi complained aggrievedly.

Akai Mary finally looked away from the computer screen and glanced at her daughter with her blue eyes - the messy short hair, the androgynous sportswear, the flat chest, and the carefree sitting posture.

She was silent for a few seconds before calmly stating a fact in her flat voice:

"Oh? You know you're a girl."

The look in her eyes clearly said: With the way you dress and behave, it's a good judgment of the other person that you're not mistaken for a boy.

If she is not her own daughter, she sometimes finds it difficult to accurately determine her daughter's gender at the first sight just by looking at her appearance and behavior.

This really can't be blamed entirely on others being blind.

Masumi Sera felt even more hurt by her mother's "disdainful" look. She pouted and tried to shift the blame: "You can't blame me entirely... It's your fault that you didn't pass on all your excellent genes to me... Look at you, you've become smaller..."

She subconsciously glanced with a little jealousy at her mother's chest, which, even after shrinking, was still bigger than hers, and could be described as having a baby-faced, huge... (ahem) chest.

Akai Marie: "..." (╬￣subara￣)

She decided to skip this dangerous topic immediately, so as to avoid having to enforce the family rules and let this troublesome daughter know what "your mother is always your mother", even if her size has shrunk.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Akai Mari closed the photos on the computer, turned to Sera Masumi, and said in a serious tone, "Get ready tonight."

"what to prepare?"

Masumi Sera put aside his joking thoughts and asked curiously.

"Get ready for school tomorrow." Akai Mari calmly announced, "I've asked a trusted old friend to transfer your student status to Teitan. The paperwork is complete, and you can report directly to Class B tomorrow."

"Teitan?!"

Sera Masumi's eyes lit up instantly. "Is this the school where Hanyu Kusunoki and the girl who knows karate go?"

"Ah."

Akai Mari nodded, a calculating glint in her emerald eyes. "Close contact will make it easier for you to gather intelligence on Hanyu Kusunoki and the girl named Haibara Ai. If the bus plan fails, try a safer route."

She paused and lowered her voice:

"I suspect... they probably have an antidote for that drug, or at least a drug that can temporarily alleviate or even reverse its effects."

This was the only possible good news they had received during the past few days of their escape.

"However," she said, her tone changing, becoming extremely serious. "Until we are completely sure whether the other party is friend or foe, and which faction they represent, we must not easily reveal our identities, especially my identity, and our relationship with the Miyano family."

Her eyes swept across the computer screen again, and the photo of the brown-haired girl seemed to silently remind her - even if there was a high probability that the girl was her sister Elena's daughter, her long-lost niece, she had to be patient until the situation became clear.

Don't put yourself and your daughter in danger because of your emotions.

"I understand, Mom!"

Sera Masumi immediately straightened his back, his face showing an eager expression. "Don't worry, I'll take care of gathering intelligence. I'll definitely find a way to get close to them, infiltrate the inside, and find out about the antidote."

Seeing her full of energy, Akai Mary nodded slightly, but a bad premonition inexplicably flashed through her mind.

With her daughter's eccentric personality and unique train of thought, she was allowed to get close to the unfathomable Hanyu Kusunoki...

She just hoped that nothing too big would happen, and that "undercover investigation" wouldn't turn into "walking into a trap" or "a funny daily routine." She only asked that the roof not be blown off, and the rest... let it be.

She can't stand any more "surprises" now.

"Well, go get ready."

Akai Mary waved her little hand and said, "Remember, proceed with caution."

"Know it!"

Sera Masumi responded energetically, and had already started thinking about what kind of "cool" image she would appear in her new class tomorrow.

Looking at her daughter's hurried back as she packed her schoolbag, Akai Mary sighed softly and rubbed her eyebrows.

The future... is still full of unknown challenges.

She picked up the sofa cushion next to her, which was like a pillow to her, buried her face in it, and let out a muffled, helpless sigh, a sigh that belonged to a mother feeling powerless towards her daughter.

but,

This action was performed by a blonde little girl...

There is really an indescribable cuteness!

(Masumi Sera, who quietly peeked out of the room, gave a thumbs up. "Mom or something, how can it be as good as my sister~"
