In the afternoon, after class.

Haibara Ai did not go home directly, but returned to the Maori family with Conan.

She came here to borrow kitchens, materials and molds—

I will celebrate Valentine's Day with my boyfriend at night.

There is not much time left for Ai Haibara to prepare chocolate.

Only at the home of Ms. Maori, who usually likes to make desserts and snacks, can easily gather the ingredients and molds for making Valentine's Day chocolate in a short time.

And Ran Mori, who has a proficiency in housekeeping skills and MAX, can serve as her chocolate instructor:

“Homemade chocolate is simple, but not that simple:”

"The key is to match the proportions of several materials such as cocoa powder, frosting, milk powder, butter, etc. to control the sweetness and taste of the chocolate..."

“…”

Ran Maori is indeed a very responsible teacher.

She gave Ai Haibara a detailed explanation and explained the complex tricks that could make this talented girl feel vaguely overwhelmed by the supposedly simple method of homemade chocolate.

"so..."

Haibara Ai's brows frowned slightly.

The simple and direct brain of a science student makes it difficult for her to accept the tedious steps of Miss Maori's extremely craftsman-spirited :

"The homemade chocolate that is so hard to make is compared to the 'homemade chocolate' made by heating and melting the bought chocolate..."

“Will there be any difference?”

"Of course there is." Maori Ran nodded seriously: "The finished chocolate I bought is made of all ingredients by the manufacturer based on public taste and market demand, and asked food experts to carefully prepare it."

“It will definitely be a little better than homemade chocolate.”

Haibara Ai: "..."

So you just said so many skills in making homemade chocolates, are you talking nonsense?

"No."

Ran Maori blinked her flawless eyes:

"The important thing about homemade chocolate is not the taste, but the producer's intention."

"Unlike the soulless assembly line products, when we make chocolate with our hands, we unknowingly melt our hearts..."

Her words were like the sensational music at the end of the Spring Festival Gala sketch, which unexpectedly sublimated the theme.

Miss Haibara disdained this:

"It's just a useless ritual that touches oneself."

"Men only know that it is homemade chocolate, but they can't tell how much 'heart' there is."

"Um..."

Ran Mouri scratched his head awkwardly:

"Then, Xiao Ai..."

"This time we just heat and melt the finished chocolate we bought?"

"No." Haibara Ai shook his head.

She tied up her apron, grabbed the spatula, climbed onto the chair on tiptoe, and stood firmly in front of the stove:

"It's better to make your own with cocoa powder..."

"I have been listening to homemade chocolate techniques for so long. If I don't need to use it, time will be wasted."

Miss Haibara chose the more troublesome method.

Ran Maori was stunned for a moment, then reacted thoughtfully.

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she helped Ai Haibara make Valentine's Day chocolate step by step.

Conan was also busy running around and helping to get some help.

Soon, a sweet fragrance filled the kitchen.

The prepared hot chocolate paste is carefully poured into the mold by Ai Haibara and just waited for it to be cooled and formed. Valentine's Day chocolate can be considered to be finished.

"By the way, Xiao Ai:"

Ran Mori asked with encouragement, holding a piping bag containing chocolate pulp:

"What do you want to write to Mr. Lin on the chocolate?"

On Valentine's Day chocolate, what you want to write is definitely love words.

This made Haibara Ai difficult.

In terms of talking about love, she needs poverty alleviation like Lin Xinyi:

"No."

"Just write his name."

"Okay." Ran Mori nodded.

She picked up the piping bag and made a series of pens and turned around, and soon left a big name on the chocolate:

“Shinyi.”

"Um..." Miss Maori was silent.

It’s really a bit weird to write only Lin Xinyi’s name.

So she turned her head and looked at Ai Haibara:

"Xiao Ai, why don't you write your name on it?"

"Written the names of the two people together, and draw a big love heart. Is the design good like this?"

"Yes." Haibara Ai had no objection.

Ran Mori quickly picked up the piping bag again to prepare for "painting", but as soon as the brush was lifted, it stopped inexplicably in the air.

What happened to her suddenly:

"Xiao Ai, which name is your writing?"

"this..."

"For safety reasons, just write 'Sorry'."

"OK." Ran Mori blinked,

She quickly started to work on the chocolate, leaving a big word "如".

"Um..."

After seeing the actual effect, Ms. Maori was silent again:

"Feel sorry..."

"I should use the Roman sound."

Haibara Ai: "..."

When I just wrote "Xinyi" in Chinese characters, no one noticed it.

Now use Chinese characters to write the big word "我" on the chocolate...

This is not a Valentine's Day chocolate for your boyfriend.

It is clearly a mourning wreath for my ex-boyfriend.

"Forget it...just that."

Haibara Ai sighed helplessly:

"Anyway, he has never been afraid of this when dealing with dead people every day."

"Yes." Ran Maori nodded embarrassedly.

She asked casually while rushing to put the shaped chocolate into the refrigerator to cool down:

“I’ve always been a little curious about it:”

"Why did you name yourself 'Ai'?"

"This kind of name...is very rare."

Normal people would stuff good words into their names.

But Ai Haibara...is a name that sounds a bit unknown.

"this..."
