Chapter 525 Must Choose the Attacking Side

"..."

This time, Shinichi Kudo was smarter. He stopped replying to Qi Ming and slipped into the restroom.

Seeing that Shinichi Kudo had walked away, Qi Ming sat back down and asked Ayumi.

"What was written in that letter? Did it include a name? Do you know the person who wrote it?"

"I didn't mean anything by it. I just saw that Ai has other friends besides you guys, and I wanted to go and meet them and give them a gift."

"..."

Ai Haibara sighed helplessly.

You're not making a simple matter like giving a gift.

She had just overheard Qi Ming and Shinichi Kudo's conversation.

If someone sent her a love letter...

That's understandable.

Kids these days are precocious. Of course, the most important thing is that they are cute, so it's normal for them to receive love letters from other kids.

She grabbed Qi Ming's fingers and said.

"Brother, others are only..."

“If you try to say that someone is just a child, I’ll spank you right now.”

"..."

Ai Haibara squinted at Qi Ming, pursed her lips, and gently wiped her mouth with her finger without saying another word.

"Well, there's no name on the letter, and I have a feeling it was sent to the wrong person."

Ayumi hesitated before taking out her phone and opening the photo album.

The screen was lit up in front of Qi Ming and Ai Haibara, and the two of them were able to see the contents of the letter in the photo album.

Sherry, I've finally found you!

Don't think you can escape; I will find you.

[I wait for you at the third tree ahead in Mihana Park every afternoon at 4 o'clock.]

I'm giving you seven days. If you don't come, I'll kill every single student in this school!

"..."

Ai Haibara stared with her eyes wide open, one big and one small.

Where's the love letter I was promised? What's going on here?

This is no longer a love letter, it's clearly a challenge!

What's even more puzzling is that the messenger actually used his own title within the organization.

In the past, she might have panicked for a while because of this.

But now...

I'm the second-in-command of the organization now, what kind of person are you to talk to me like that?

Bu Mei asked Qi Ming.

"Brother Qi Ming, is Sherry Ai's nickname? Or did this person send the prank letter by mistake?"

"That's right, Sherry really is Ai's English name."

Qi Ming nodded.

Looking at the words in the letter, and thinking about the people in the organization who were well-known, it seemed that none of them would speak in this tone.

After all, their group wouldn't do something so disgraceful as to threaten school children.

Besides, everyone in the organization should have witnessed Shiho Miyano's abilities and know that I'm backing her up.

So who is the audacity to send such a threatening letter to mess with people?

Most importantly, only Vermouth and Karasuma Renya know that Shiho Miyano is Ai Haibara, right?

Meanwhile, Ai Haibara stroked her chin.

As if she had thought of something, she gave Qi Ming a look and waved her hand, signaling him to come closer.

Although she and Qi Ming have the ability to communicate telepathically, she still prefers this way of communicating.

"Didn't you tell me last time that all the researchers in the organization were either dismissed or sent to other countries' organizational bases?"

"good."

Ai Haibara pondered for a moment, then spoke softly.

“The current members all know that I have returned, and only those researchers you took away are unaware, so this must have been written by one of them.”

researcher?

Qi Ming raised his eyebrows and thumped his hands.

"Oh, right, that makes sense then."

Seeing Qi Ming like this, Ai Haibara asked in confusion.

"Do you know who it is?"

"No, I don't know. I just agree with your reasoning."

"..."

Ai Haibara rolled her eyes at Qi Ming, then glanced at the screen, clenched her fists, and pouted.

"Since there's no intelligence, and the organization member in this letter described the location so clearly, we should at least go and take a look."

"Using a child as a threat, what a terrible person."

Ai Haibara pulled her head back and asked Ayumi.

"Yoshida, exactly a few days ago, did you find this letter?"

After a moment's thought, Ayumi gave her an answer.

"It must have been three days ago, right?"

Three days ago...

That means there are still four days left. No, let's shorten the time to two days.

I'll go check it out the day after tomorrow.

Seeing Ai Haibara deep in thought, the three children exchanged glances, and Ayumi clenched her fist and spoke to Ai Haibara.

"Ai, are you guys planning to go find that person? Let's go together!"

"...Why are you all going over there to join in the fun?"

Ai Haibara replied helplessly, but she smiled as she felt the child's concern.

Genta patted the thick, fat flesh on his shoulder and said angrily.

"Hmph, since they've sent a letter like this, we have to go and support you, Haibara-kun."

"Yeah, and the other party might be an older student. There's strength in numbers!"

"...You guys."

Listening to their conversation, Qi Ming could only sigh at the passing of youth.

It's interesting that older elementary school students are challenging younger ones.

I wonder if I can still use the account "Qi Bu Lai Ming" to be a leader of the kids.

Jingle Bell--

The bell rang, and my pocket vibrated.

This time, it wasn't Ai Haibara who had business dealings, but Qi Ming.

"Karasuma Ren?"

Qi Ming took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and answered it directly.

The old man's timing is pretty good; he was just thinking about his business, and now he's calling him.

"crooked?"

The call connected, and soon Karasuma Renya's voice came from the other end.

Without any pleasantries, Karasuma Renya got straight to the point.

"Qi Ming? Do you have any thoughts about that extra activity?"

"..."

Qi Ming hung up the phone without saying a word.

Perhaps feeling he wasn't comfortable enough, he glanced at Ai Haibara beside him, then pulled her into his arms and began to vigorously rub her head.

Damn, every single one of them likes to show off in front of you when they have an event, right?

Qi Ming only let go with satisfaction after he had messed up Ai Haibara's hair into a tangled mess.

"..."

Ai Haibara stared at Qi Ming with a resentful look, then took out a mirror and combed her hair again.

I wonder if it's possible to install any kind of prosthetic device on their head, the kind that grows spikes if anyone touches it.

"Hey, I accidentally touched the screen. What happened? I know about that event, I'm in it too. Have you chosen a faction yet?"

Before Karasuma Renya could reply, Qi Ming called back.

"I don't have any yet. I just wanted to ask if you have any opinions on these three factions?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming immediately spoke up.

"Opinion? I have a lot to say about that. We must choose the attacking side! The task is easy and the rewards are plentiful, so we have to choose the attacking side!"
