Well, one of those necessary chapters, which are fleshing the story and that couldn't be avoided, as the step between two stages.

But the interractions between the characters were lovely. Hey, who would hate some good old banters between Ai and her uke? X3
I've specially loved how some serious issue were still here, behind the scene, adding tension in the surface and being reflected, here and there...
(The fact that Conan could have chosen Ai as a substitute for Ran, the threat of the organisation, their unusual childhood, the stream of time...)

Glad to see that you're still working on this story, I've spend a good time in reading this chapter, good luck with the next one, etc... ^_-

Haha, that's exactly what it is. XD;;

I am definitely still working on it; I'm just .... slow. Like molasses :< But I'm glad you enjoyed it X3

I had lots of fun writing it. X3

Lol, yeaaah, I remembered that afterwards but was too lazy to switch it. I'd feel vaguely sorry for any support staff assigned to them anyways.

Yeah, it just might. Being in a foreign land is going to kind of screw with their danger/caution sensors a bit. A little more paranoid in some regards... and a little more sloppy in others. >3

...Complete agreement with everyone else concerning the wonderful bantering, atmosphere, etc.

I just came back from studying abroad in London, England, this spring, so the city (and arriving in Heathrow) is fresh and familiar in my mind. So far, so good at keeping all of the details of those places and things correct. Conan and Ai are so lucky that they didn't have an overnight plane ride; good Lord, mine sucked so much!

Anyway, I can't to read more of this, especially since it is set in my favourite city. London seems to be a good environment for Conan and Ai, doesn't it?

By the way, I don't suppose you got to visit 221B Baker Street on your short visit, did you?

Thank you :>

Ahhhh~ lucky. I wanted to go back to London this summer, but my travel partner backed out on me at the last minute. Sigh. I took extensive notes and lots of photos last time though, so hopefully I can still get all those small details more or less accurate.

London is a wonderful city for all things mystery-related. :D Sherlock Hoooolmes. (XD Yes, I did visit 221B, and tried to refrain from bankrupting myself buying memorabilia. I took pictures of everything and essentially imitated a bouncy hyperactive ball all over the place. Also, the nice old man manning the sitting room took our Holmes' "cocaine" kit to show us. X3)

terrific story... i'm just so sorry i've missed it until now. Original plot, plenty of sublte humor and you have every chracter down to perfection.

Sigh... is it too much to hope you'll be continuing it? I can't avoid thinking that whole the aiholic community will lose a lot if you don't.
