Xiao Lan...
Conan's heart skipped a beat.
A strangely familiar voice came to my ears.
It's Mom!
He quickly opened his eyes.
In my house?
Conan was somewhat surprised. He had been unconscious at Dr. Agasa's house, but when he woke up, he was in his own home. It seemed that the assassin named Chiwen had ultimately failed, and that figure really was Natsume!
Think of this.
He felt a sense of relief.
Looking up, I saw many guests, some familiar and some unfamiliar, sitting in my living room.
on the sofa.
Xia Ye's two younger sisters, presumably named Haibara Ai and Haibara Ai, are sitting between Ran, and the two sisters seem to be comforting her.
Conan had heard Ran mention it.
These two sisters are geniuses. They skipped grades to attend Teitan High School at such a young age and still achieved top grades!
Especially that younger sister.
I heard that he always ranks first in his grade in every exam.
Although they are young, the two are mature in character, and since they are Xia Ye's younger sisters, Xiao Lan gets along very well with them.
Seeing the faint smile on Ran's face as she chatted with them, Conan finally felt relieved and understood the relationship between Natsume and Ran.
He made a mistake that almost put Xiaolan in mortal danger, and in the end, Xia Ye had to save her.
From this perspective, only Xia Ye can give Xiao Lan the sense of security she needs. As for herself—it's better to give up!
Conan made up his mind.
Then look to the other side.
As the mistress of the house, Yukiko, the mother, is currently with—
Chatting with Aunt Eri!
That makes sense, though. Ran must have been told that she had encountered something so terrible.
Conan secretly rejoiced, thankful that he was in a child's body and Aunt Eri didn't know he was Shinichi Kudo. Otherwise, he would definitely have been severely scolded by her, the kind that even his mother couldn't stop!
Looked around.
Conan was a little confused.
Where did Xia Ye go?
"you're awake?"
Xia Ye's calm voice came from behind.
"Conan, you're awake?"
Yukiko walked up to Conan.
His delicate and pretty face was full of worry:
"Are there any discomforts?"
"I'm fine, Yukiko-neechan~"
Conan breathed a sigh of relief. His mother was still calling him Conan, which meant that she hadn't told Natsume and the others that he was Shinichi Kudo. In other words, they didn't know why the Chiwen had attacked him and the professor!
correct!
How is the PhD student doing?
"Yukiko-neechan, how is the professor?"
"PhD?"
Yukiko tapped her chin with her slender fingers and said with a smile:
"Xia Ye said you were only affected by a sleeping potion and it's nothing serious. We put the Doctor on his own bed to sleep, and then brought you back."
"Miscellaneous fragrance?"
Conan, who had once dabbled in Chinese martial arts novels in Hawaii, felt a strong sense of déjà vu with this term. However, his immediate priority was to contact Dr. Agasa, so he quickly jumped off the sofa and ran towards the bathroom.
"Conan, where are you going?"
"You still haven't told me what happened?"
Yukiko called out sweetly behind him, but Conan ignored her, his short legs moving even faster. Without turning his head, he said:
I'm going to the bathroom!
"We'll talk about it when I come out!"
Conan rushed into the bathroom and locked the door.
See this scene.
Yukiko shrugged at everyone, somewhat helplessly saying:
(acac)
"Shinichi must have gone to exchange statements with Professor Agasa. It seems he's planning to keep the Black Organization a secret!"
"it's okay!"
Xiao Lan smiled nonchalantly on her pretty face:
"After this experience, Shinichi shouldn't be so reckless anymore. He should be able to confess about the Black Organization to Natsume soon."
"As for us, if he doesn't want to talk about it, that's fine. Anyway, we won't get involved in the Black Organization's affairs. We can leave all this to Xia Ye and Sister Chris."
"Xiaolan is right~"
Ai agreed with Ran's statement.
She subtly pursed her lips, clearly annoyed:
"Anyway, I never want to have anything to do with the Black Organization again. I hope Ran's sister Chris, Vermouth, never appears in front of me again!"
"Ai~"
Ran held Ai's hand.
His tone was somewhat hesitant.
Ai and her sister Chris don't get along at all.
Although they have reconciled now because of Xia Ye, how could they easily let go of the grudges that had been accumulating for so many years?
So these two are always at odds, whether they meet in person or in group chat. It seems we need to find an opportunity to let them completely put aside their grudges!
but--
How do we do this?
"I know!"
Even if I am, I am still a beautiful girl.
Ai couldn't resist Ran's sweet talk.
I can't help it, ever since I found out that we were both the female protagonists of this world, I've always had a strange feeling when I'm with her, like having an extra little sister~
Xiao Ai sighed. Xia Ye had told her why Vermouth was so good to Xiao Lan.
Vermouth, that cold-blooded woman, for some inexplicable reason, fell in love with Ran after just one act of kindness in her rescue.
Xia Ye's point about the female protagonist's halo is indeed very true.
Xiaolan and Vermouth have a good relationship now, and if I were to have a strained relationship with her again, Xiaolan would be caught in the middle.
but--
And so they lived together peacefully with Vermouth...
Ai is not reconciled!
"Okay~"
Xia Ye interrupted their increasingly off-topic conversation, and said with a slight smile:
"Conan might show up at any moment. Everyone be careful, it's almost the end, don't mess it up!"
"Acting, all you know is acting!"
Sitting silently on the sofa, Eri Kisaki's pretty face hardened with anger. Her icy blue eyes swept across the room, then glanced at the tightly closed bathroom door in the distance before she whispered a sharp rebuke:
"It's fine if you guys act it out yourselves, Shinichi does need to be taught a lesson, but why did you drag Ran into it?"
"Yukiko, you're an elder. Aren't you heartbroken that Ran is injured? And Natsume, how could you agree to their plan? How can I entrust Ran to you?"
"Yingli..."
"mom......"
"Eri-nee..."
Upon hearing this, the three who had been having a great time tonight looked at Eri with a guilty conscience, especially Yukiko and Natsume. Of course, they would feel sorry for their precious daughter being dragged into doing something dangerous.
Yukiko is alright.
She's thick-skinned, and she's used to begging for forgiveness from Eri, so she just quickly ran to her best friend's side, took her hand, and smiled apologetically.
Xia Ye, however, was in a terrible situation.
Eri's cold gaze seemed to carry another meaning, making his heart pound with fear...
"Mom, please don't blame Xia Ye!"
Xiao Lan quickly ran to sit down on the other side of her mother, hugged her arm, shook it vigorously, and whispered sweet nothings:
"Everything today was planned by Yukiko and me. Natsume initially disagreed, but Yukiko and I insisted, and that's why he agreed..."
"You!"
Eri Kisaki helplessly tapped her daughter's nose:
"Just side with him!"
"hey-hey!"
Xiao Lan smiled sweetly.
I knew Mom wouldn't really be angry.
After all, Xia Ye is—
and many more!
At the bar, I, Yukiko, and Natsume had already talked about my mother's situation, but she still didn't know!
Ran quickly exchanged a glance with Yukiko, who was on the other side of her mother, and found that Yukiko seemed to have thought of the same thing and was winking at her!
What should we do now?
Should I confront my mom about this?
hateful!
It would be so embarrassing to just say something like this out loud!
"What happen to you guys?"
Seeing her best friend and her precious daughter exchanging glances, Eri Kisaki felt a sense of unease and put on a stern face, coldly snorting:
"What kind of tricks are you two up to now?"
Eri Kisaki felt so tired. Ran was getting more and more mischievous, and she wondered if she had learned it from Yukiko.
It's certainly good for a daughter to be lively.
But what if she turned into someone like Yukiko—
