It rained all the time.

A little girl with brown hair who looked no more than six or seven years old, wrapped in an adult-sized white coat, leaned against the wall, and walked through the rain with difficulty.

With every step she took, she had to rest against the wall.

But the iron door outside the house was not closed, and she had nothing to hold onto.

So she leaned on the side, gasping for breath, intending to gather the last of her strength to cross the barrier that seemed to her now.

The sound of rain and thunder made her almost inaudible.

The rain on her face also blurred her vision.

But she still had a faint feeling that the door of the house was open.

She didn't look because she didn't have the extra strength.

But the corner of her eye still let her know that it was a child about the same age as her now.

A small child who stays comfortably in the house.

A small child with a family.

Is... Extravagant.

She didn't want to be looked at like this, so she forced herself off the wall and staggered forward.

But then she noticed that the child was running towards her with an umbrella and rushing into the rain.

She couldn't help but look over, and as the child approached, the face in her sight became clearer and clearer.

The last of her strength was pulled out of her body.

……

Shiho Miyano had a dream.

In her dream, she stood in the container room and watched in silence at Akemi Miyano lying quietly on the cold ground.

Akemi Miyano is dead.

Her sister died.

Shiho Miyano knelt beside Akemi Miyano and looked at her sister's godless eyes facing the sky.

What's there to see in the sky?

Why don't you take a look at me?

She didn't understand.

The disgusting aura of the organization also almost condensed into a physical body, lingering around her.

The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against her head.

But Shiho Miyano remained motionless.

"Found you, Shirley."

The little girl with brown hair woke up from her dream.

But she didn't open her eyes, and she didn't have any extra emotions. When she was in a dream, she knew it was a dream.

She just saw the scene of her sister's death in the newspaper... She herself had never been there at all.

Despite her busy schedule, she also finds time to follow the news.

Because of this, when she meets her sister, she can take over the topic of her sister's conversation more naturally... After all, her own life has almost nothing but drug research and development.

And when she habitually picked up the newspaper, she saw the headline "The billion-dollar robbery case was successfully solved, and the prisoner committed suicide" at a glance.

The accompanying picture is a photo of her sister.

Thinking of her sister's recent movements, she suddenly realized that it was the dark organization she was in that did it.

She went to question the guys, but to no avail.

She made a big fuss and firmly stated that she would not conduct any more drug research.

She was locked up.

In desperation, she attempted suicide by taking a drug that was still under development. But instead of dying, she became a child, which allowed her to escape.

So she came to Shinichi Kudo, the one who might have become as small as she was.

Shinichi Kudo...

Shiho Miyano opened his eyes.

There was darkness in my eyes.

Shiho Miyano just opened his eyes like this, and his mind began to confirm her current condition.

She was lying in bed at the moment.

Very clean and no smell of chemicals.

Her original clothes and the white coat on the outside were still wrapped around her body, but she didn't know why they had dried up.

It's just that these clothes don't fit, and it's not comfortable to lie on the bed in these clothes, not to mention that she is still covered with a quilt.

Shiho Miyano glanced at the bed again.

There's a lamp next to it.

She stretched out her arm from the covers, then rolled up her lab coat a little before reaching out.

After a little fumbling, she turned on the light and sat up from the bed.

Then she glanced around the room.

It's very simple, almost just a place to sleep.

There was another bed on the opposite side of the room, on which was sleeping a man who looked not too young.

But it's not often that this body sleeps so quietly...

Shiho Miyano glanced at the big belly that was easy to see even through the quilt, and thought to himself. Then she realized that something seemed to be stuffed in her ear.

Earplug?

Shiho Miyano took out the earbuds.

Then the continuous snoring came to her ears.

“……”

It's noisy.

She didn't put the earbuds back in, though.

Because although the body feels that there is no strength... But she wants to go to Shinichi Kudo.

She knew that Shinichi Kudo was here.

That kid is near Kudo's family, and he looks a lot like Kudo Shinichi... It's almost a shrunken version of Shinichi Kudo.

And the moment she planted herself on the ground, she also saw it, the guy threw down his umbrella and ran over to help her despite the heavy rain.

She was also unconscious at that time.

… With so much concern for a child who doesn't know a passerby, it's no wonder that it bumps into the hand of the guy who gets gin.

Thinking to himself, Shiho Miyano got out of bed and put on his slippers on the side. Then she turned off the lamp, dragged the ill-fitting clothes to the door, and gently opened the door.

The rain is still falling.

Shiho Miyano closed the door and shut the snoring inside. Outside the room, the sound of rain and thunder was also clearer.

After fumbling her way through a few steps, she heard a slight sound that resembled a rollover.

Shinichi Kudo seems to be sleeping in the living room... That's his bed that I just slept in...

Following the movement just now, he walked over, standing in the dark, Miyano Shiho hesitated a little.

It should still be late at night...

Just as she was about to go back to sleep and wait for Kudo Shinichi to wake up in the morning, a voice came from the living room.

"The light switch is on your right."

Kaedehara said, and then couldn't help but yawn.

He was sitting on the couch at the moment, looking like he had just woken up, with the blanket he had just covered beside him.

He had indeed just woken up.

There was actually a bed in the living room, but it was too close to the window and door, and he didn't like it.

“… Woke you up? Shiho Miyano said.

For Kaede, her voice was as recognizable as his own, similar to the voice he had heard before he crossed over.

It also made him even more sure of her identity.

“… The purring factor is a bit greater. After thinking about it for a moment, Kaedehara decided to put half of the pot on Dr. Asasa's head.

He didn't have earplugs with him tonight, so the Doctor's snoring was indeed a little more pronounced than usual.

However, the movement of Shiho Miyano opening the door was a more unusual factor for him.

Shiho Miyano didn't speak again, but fumbled with his right hand side and turned on the light in the living room.

Then she walked over and sat down on the couch across from Kaedehara.
