Finding out what he had done for his daughter who was sick, while he was busy at work and thus unable to come home to take care of her, Ginzo Nakamori felt truly grateful. 

Logically if it were another guy taking care of his beloved daughter, he would have already been furious by now and would have arrested him for harassment or stalking, even attempted rape. 

On the other hand, Ginzo didn't think that the other boys besides Shikami were good. So the two talked about various things and Aoko's father even asked him for an autograph, because he had become a fan of her when he learned of her exploits at such a young age. 

Shikami didn't refuse and so he wrote a dedication on a blank sheet of paper, and then drew something to make it cute, and finally gave it to Ginzo, who happily accepted. 

"ok, since now she's here with her daughter, I'll go away now and I won't disturb you" said Shikami knowing that it wasn't polite to stay too long, on the other hand Ginzo had now arrived

Too bad Ginzo stopped him and insistently proposed "Shikami boy, how about I invite you to dinner when my daughter recovers from her illness. I still want to thank you for helping her and taking care of her"

Hearing his proposal which didn't seem bad, she replied with a rather nice smile "then I gladly accept your proposal sir Nakamori. 

When Aoko recovers, tell her that I enjoyed taking care of her, and that I hope she gets well soon and never has anything like this happen again, or her classmates will be sad about her absence."

"I understand, I will tell my daughter when she wakes up. Thanks again, and as for dinner, I will have my daughter report it when she is better" Ginzo Nakamori said while bowing in gratitude

Seeing him bow, Shikami helped him get up while seriously and sincerely telling him "there is no need to be so grateful, because I only did it for the simple fact that your daughter is my dear friend and classmate, and it's normal to care between us, if evernecessary "

"Shikami boy... I really don't know what to say, but I know for a fact that you are a good boy!. If only there were people with your mentality in the world, perhaps society would be better than now, where thieves only go to rob jewelry stores to make fun of us policemen! 

Kaitou Kid!!! I swear I will take you and lock you in a small, dark cell, and then I will throw away the key and see how you can escape!! " she said hatefully, while Shikami laughed slightly

He already knew Kaitou Kid's identity, but seeing Ginzo Nakamori so enraptured with the idea of ​​catching the thief, he couldn't help but pray that he would succeed, so Aoko would also no longer worry about a boy who always abandons her to do what's convenient for you. 

However he had to leave now, so he said "then I'll go now, goodbye sir Nakamori"

Hearing his words, Ginzo was brought back to reality and quickly replied "ok, goodbye Shikami Boy."

So I accompanied him to the entrance of the house and then saw him go away, while Aoko who was in her room resting, opened her eyes and said uncertainly and with a confused mood "how much I wish it were like you said, at least my father will be able to rest instead of always chasing a thief"

Then he turned and covered his face which showed sadness for something on his mind, while Ginzo returned to his daughter's room, and said to her "Aoko, now you can stop pretending to sleep. 

What's wrong, why didn't you want Shikami to find out? N-it's not that you're in love with him... nhaa, it's impossible with your fiery, childish, capricious and impulsive character"

But soon Aoko who was hiding in her blankets, abruptly stood up and said in an extremely offended tone “Dad, how can you think that Aoko is such a girl! 

And then I didn't want Shikami to waste any more time with someone like me... I-I don't feel anything... so don't get any strange ideas! And now get out of my room"

As he tried to push his father away with the little strength he possessed in his body, Ginzo said in surprise, "I never thought you could fall in love with anyone other than that childhood friend of yours, Kuroba. 

But even so, dad doesn't want you to be with anyone at the moment, but the Shikami boy is a great match for the future, so you can stay close to him if you want. 

But remember not to take your relationship beyond something more than a best friend, or I will ground you! "

Hearing his words, Aoko couldn't help but become more angry, and so I forcefully kicked him out of the room, and when she was alone, I thought about what he said. 

After a few moments, he secretly said to himself in his mind 'yeah, there's no need to be engaged, because it's enough to be best friends...y-yeah, it's enough to just be...friends? '

But the more she thought, the more she understood that she seemed not at all satisfied with being a friend to Shikami, but she also knew that what she thought was forbidden, because she couldn't date a person who already had a girlfriend. 

Being a good girl raised with righteous and normal ideals by her father, Aoko now found herself stuck in the dilemma of what she should do, especially now that she was slowly panicking. 

Eventually he somehow managed to sleep, while Shikami returned to his house to see the angry face of Ai Haibara, who had expected him to pick him up from school. 

Seeing her in this state, Shikami immediately explains "there is a reason for my absence, just let me explain and then you will understand!"

But she coldly said with frown "I can smell another girl on your body... you are such a bastard Spyritus! I never expected that the grand assassin, who is considered the best in the world and also the right hand man of the Boss, were just a lustful person. 

You disappointed me. Don't show up again for the next few days, and don't you even dare mention my name or pick me up from school, or I'll run away from home and go to Nyaruko's spaceship! Hmphf! "So he turned and walked away

"Ai!!!" Shikami shouted sadly, but was completely ignored while Nyaruko seemed carefree to see them arguing, because she was busy watching a scene from an anime, in which almost the same thing was happening as is happening right now

Feeling teased by Nyaruko, with his right hand, he grabbed her head tightly as he asked with an angry smile "Nyaruko, what have you done to make my Ai grumpy?!!"

Being threatened like this, she immediately screamed in fright as she made a strange sound and fearfully replied "I-I only gave Ai access to my spaceship, so I think she saw what you did with Aoko. 

However, I really have to admit, you are truly enterprising Shikami. I never expected you to do that to a sick girl, you are such a beast- Ghnyaptorlep!!! "

He suddenly screams in pain after Shikami throws a hard punch with 1% of his strength, which could literally destroy an entire city and more. 

As Nyaruko touched her head in pain, she said apologetically, "I didn't do it on purpose, but you also have to admit that it's all your fault if you undress a girl while she's sick and fragile."

Not even responding to his words, Shikami went to the room where Ai was, and said to him apologetically "Ai, I didn't do this deliberately! You must understand that I just had to take care of a sick friend of mine, nothing more! "

But inside the room, Ai who was now wrapped like a bundle in her blankets, said in a sour voice in a low voice "as if it were for this~ I saw how you looked at her, and I know from my sister that whoever has that look, usually is in love, or has begun to fall in love"

Shikami who was outside, heard his words with his super-fine hearing, and was thus taken by surprise. Of course he didn't seem to feel anything other than simple friendship for Aoko, but upon hearing her words, he seriously began to doubt himself. 

He trusted her too much not to believe it, and this was a mistake that will lead to new events between him and Aoko, because what he thought was really true, because he wasn't really in love with Aoko. 

But with the words heard from Ai, a small seed was planted in his heart, where there were only a few people who truly managed to sprout a seed of love or friendship in him. 

So with confusion, I leave her alone and return to the living room, while Nyaruko seems to have disappeared from the place, without even warning, not that it mattered to Shikami.
