AWB Chapter 450 Returning to the old place
Chapter 450 Returning to the old place
Amidst the chaos and noise of the crowd, Qi Ming led Ai Haibara away by the hand.
After weaving through the surging crowd, Qi Ming stopped and turned to look at Ai Haibara.
"So, what activities are planned for today?"
Ai Haibara frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then gently shook her head.
"do not know."
After all, they had been to many places in the past few days, and suddenly having free time, she really couldn't think of anything to do.
Qi Ming sighed.
"We can't just stay home and lie around all day, can we?"
Ai Haibara rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Aren't you usually so lively? Why don't you know what to do now?"
Qi Ming slowly shook his head and said with a serious expression:
"I have now reached the highest level of seeing mountains as mountains and water as water. Looking back on what I did before, I only feel that it was too vulgar and unbearable."
He paused briefly, then continued, "I need to think of some more elegant ways to pass the time."
Ai Haibara was about to ask a question when she heard this, but before she could speak, a glint of light flashed in Qi Ming's eyes.
"How about we go to the bank right now, withdraw the money, and then drop it from a helicopter?"
Ai Haibara stared wide-eyed at Qi Ming in disbelief, and it took her a while to come to her senses.
Do you think this kind of entertainment is very elegant?
"Of course, what else?"
Ai Haibara felt that this so-called highbrow entertainment was even more vulgar than the previous ones.
"Hehe, let's go."
"..."
Although Ai Haibara felt quite speechless, it was not bad to be able to live a peaceful and leisurely life like this.
However, after following Qi Ming for only a few steps, Ai Haibara had some thoughts in mind as she looked at his back.
"How about we go somewhere else to have fun?"
"Ok?"
Qi Ming turned to look at Ai Haibara with a puzzled expression. It was rare for this little girl to suddenly express her thoughts.
"where to?"
"How's the casino?"
Ai Haibara chuckled as she spoke to Qi Ming, a strange emotion suddenly rising within her.
No, perhaps it shouldn't be said that it arose suddenly. She probably had some thoughts in her mind all along, especially after seeing Conan and Hattori's confessions on the airship.
Their stories are beautiful, and they have both made great progress, but my own story seems to be stuck in stagnation.
She'd had enough of other people's stories; now she wanted to continue her own.
"A casino? You mean you want to go to a casino?"
Qi Ming stared wide-eyed and shouted loudly.
"..."
Is it an accident or not?
Feeling the gazes of those around her, Ai Haibara took a deep breath, but the smile on her face didn't fade. She spoke frankly to Qi Ming.
"Yes, brother, didn't you often take me there before?"
"...What the hell?"
The surrounding gazes instantly shifted to Qi Ming.
They initially thought the little girl had gone astray at such a young age, but now it seems it's entirely due to her family education!
That brother is a real beast for taking that little girl to a casino. Is that a place a girl her age should be going to?
"Not bad, your eloquence has improved."
"Isn't that all thanks to you?"
"Don't slander me, I speak very nicely."
Qi Ming chuckled and waved his hand lightly in the open space beside him, and a motorcycle appeared.
After the two of them sat on the motorcycle one after the other, the engine started, and the motorcycle slowly rose into the sky, leaving the bewildered passersby staring blankly at the sky.
……
Qingshan City, Python Diamond Casino.
Qi Ming lowered the motorcycle and slowly brought it to a stop, looking at the buildings not far away with a sense of awe.
"So, is it because I'm getting older that I like to reminisce? Coming here again makes me feel so nostalgic."
“When I came here, I brought a female companion with me, but now I’ve brought my daughter with me.”
"..."
Ai Haibara, who was still lost in her memories and somewhat absent-minded, blushed when she heard Qi Ming's words.
Although it seems that's indeed the case now.
"Would you like to change your clothes?"
"Ok?"
Ai Haibara looked at Qi Ming with confusion, then her eyes widened slightly as she realized that Qi Ming was wearing the same clothes they had worn when they arrived here.
Hmm... although it seems he wore this outfit for a long time afterward, since it was said to have good equipment attributes.
Do you think I could wear that outfit now?
Ai Haibara felt that playing this game had a strange sense of ritual, but unfortunately she couldn't wear it now.
"Hehe, you underestimate your brother Ming."
Qi Ming shook his finger and walked directly to the open space, taking out a workbench.
He laid out a few balls of yarn and some pieces of fabric, and then Qi Ming took out... a hammer and started hammering the fabric.
"..."
Ai Haibara really wanted to complain.
Is this reasonable?
You can understand using a hammer to forge steel, but why use a hammer to make clothes?
Is this the only action to be performed? It's so perfunctory.
About ten seconds later, after a flash of light, the miniature version of the Shiho Miyano First Encounter Bonus Set was neatly placed on the table.
"Come on, change into these clothes, and return home in glory."
"Are you suggesting I change in the street?"
……
Having changed their clothes, Ai Haibara and Qi Ming arrived at the casino entrance.
Looking at the familiar casino entrance, and then at her small hands, Ai Haibara felt that she shouldn't be called a triumphant return, but rather that things had changed beyond recognition.
No, it doesn't seem quite right either.
It was only when Ai Haibara walked up to the entrance that she realized the casino had been renamed.
Cobra Diamond Casino.
"Speaking of which, did you mention this casino before? Their owner is from the rival organization of Phantom Thief Kid."
"Is such that."
Qi Ming looked up at the name of the casino.
The poor python, after being killed by Akemi Miyano, even had its territory taken back and its nest occupied by a cobra.
"I'm sorry, sir, but the child you brought can't go in."
Qi Ming had just entered the gate and hadn't even started the security check when a security guard in black stopped him.
"The current plot seems strangely familiar."
Qi Ming scratched his head, and then a handful of... banknotes appeared in his hand.
After all, we're here to have fun; fighting and killing isn't good.
Qi Ming scattered a pile of banknotes on the ground and said to the security guard.
"Can we go in?"
The security guard was taken aback, then smiled and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, sir, this isn't about money, it's about morality, we..."
Then Qi Ming took out a handful of banknotes and scattered them on the ground.
"Can I take her inside now?"
"...Yes, absolutely! Please come in."
"Tsk, why didn't you do this earlier?"
Qi Ming glared at the security guard, annoyed.
"You know what industries your boss is involved in. I'm bringing my child here to play openly and honestly. Do you think I'm an ordinary person?"
The security guard was taken aback, then nodded with an awkward smile.
Perhaps feeling that such a statement was too perfunctory, he also quite bluntly slapped himself twice.
"You're right. How can you be an ordinary person? Please come in."
