Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 525 is here! The iconic kiss between Shinichi and Ran!

"This movie was pretty good!"

"Yes, it's quite interesting."

"The ending was just too regrettable."

"..."

After the movie ended, Shinichi Kudo, Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, Masumi Sera, and their classmate Nakamichi, a group of five, walked out of the movie theater together.

Several girls chattered excitedly about the plot, while Shinichi Kudo and Nakamichi, the two boys, showed little interest in the romance and instead talked about the action and special effects in the movie.

Overall, this film is already considered excellent in the current film market.

If it weren't for Takeshi Onino's outrageous behavior, which artificially raised the bar for viewing, this movie might still be on this year's charts.

"The movie is good, but I didn't expect that Taro Nishiki and his team had actually plagiarized someone else's work."

As they talked, the group naturally moved on to discussing the hottest news of the moment.

"Yes, it's such a pity. I really liked the work that Nishiki Taro won the Naoki Prize for."

Shinichi Kudo said with some regret.

"Tch, maybe it's plagiarized from someone else's work!"

Sonoko Suzuki curled her lip, her tone disdainful.

Since the scandal broke, the credibility of Taro Nishiki and others has plummeted, and there has been a constant stream of doubts about their past achievements.

Shinichi Kudo remained silent, unsure how to respond.

When Nishiki Taro was without inspiration, he was able to steal Kuri Michio's work without hesitation. Who can guarantee that he won't do it again later?

Once you cross the line on certain things, you no longer feel guilty about doing them.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's discuss where to go tomorrow. It's a rare school trip, we should make the most of it."

Sera Masumi changed the subject.

"Of course we'll go to Kiyomizu-dera Temple! The Kiyomizu Stage there is a sacred place for confessions of love!"

Sonoko Suzuki immediately raised her hand, glancing teasingly at Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri.

Sure enough, both of their faces turned red.

Hey, that's really interesting!
Sonoko Suzuki chuckled to herself.

On the other side, Nakamichi chimed in, "Didn't you already confess your feelings to Mori when you went to London, Kudo? I heard you even kissed. Did you stick your tongue out, Kudo?"

Ran Mouri: ( )
Kissing?!

Shinichi Kudo: (⊙_☉)
Stick out your tongue?!
Phew!

Steam instantly rose from their heads, and their cheeks flushed red.

Shinichi Kudo feigned anger: "Who said I kissed Ran... There wasn't even time, ugh, that's completely untrue, don't spread rumors!"

Nakamichi shrugged and unhesitatingly betrayed the instigator: "It was Suzuki who said it."

"Garden!"

Enraged, Ran Mouri lunged at her gossipy best friend who had ruined her reputation.

"hey-hey!"

Sonoko Suzuki chuckled sheepishly and skillfully dodged the question, muttering to herself, "I wasn't there, so I can only offer reasonable analysis~"

"Shut up, you idiot!"

Ran Mouri clenched her fists and charged forward.

Seeing that things were not going well, Sonoko Suzuki took off running.

Watching the two bickering and joking around, Shinichi Kudo was exasperated.

"That gossipy Sonoko! But kissing Ran, huh...?"

Shinichi Kudo suddenly seemed lost in thought.

……

The next day, the group still went to Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

Because Takeshi Onino resolved the issue of Michio Izukuri's case ahead of schedule, Shinichi Kudo, free from worries about the case, was completely immersed in the enjoyable experience of his school trip.
For him, such days were extremely rare.

Although he firmly believes that he will be able to turn back one day, Shinichi Kudo is not entirely confident in his heart, so he cherishes this trip very much.

Not only did he travel with Ran Mouri, but he also had so many classmates with him.

This was a snapshot of his youth, something Shinichi Kudo cherished deeply. He didn't know if he'd ever have such an opportunity again, so he immersed himself completely in it.

We shared many unforgettable moments and wonderful memories with our classmates.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ran Mouri is right beside me.

Thinking of his beloved girl, Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but steal a glance at her, and made up his mind.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple is a popular tourist attraction, so it receives many visitors.

Not only Shinichi Kudo and his group, but also many other students from Teitan High School who were traveling with them chose to come here for a visit.

After visiting the front hall, the group finally arrived at the Kiyomizu Stage.

Wow! It's so beautiful!

Looking at the beautiful scenery of red maple leaves and green mountains, Ran Mouri and the other girls exclaimed in amazement.

"No wonder it's a romantic spot; the atmosphere here is perfect for confessing your feelings!"

"I can't help but sigh," Sonoko Suzuki said, her eyes darting intently towards Ran Mouri.

As the top fan of Shinran, she never hesitates to go to great lengths to enjoy the gossip, and of course, to help her best friend find happiness.

The others also turned to look at Shinichi Kudo, their eyes filled with anticipation for a good show.

Their relationship was common knowledge; they were just one step away from actually getting together.

Shinichi Kudo: (_)
Of course he wants to confess his feelings, but with you guys just standing there watching, how is he supposed to say it?

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Ran Mouri blushed but said nothing, a hint of anticipation appearing in her eyes.

Seeing that Shinichi Kudo was still hesitating, Sonoko Suzuki made her move again:
“Ah~”

She asked Ran Mouri, feigning surprise.

"Ran, did you meet that kendo kid named Okita Souji yesterday? I heard he looks a lot like Kudo. What did you two talk about?"

"No, nothing..."

Because it involved her privacy, Ran Mouri didn't speak directly and hesitated before saying anything.

This immediately displeased Shinichi Kudo.

The title of "King of Vinegar in East Asia" is well-deserved!

A wave of jealousy surged through my heart, a sour feeling welling up inside me.

"How come I didn't know you went to see that Okita Souji?" Shinichi Kudo's tone was a little stiff.

Seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki smiled with satisfaction and gave her a look:
"If you don't work harder, your wife might have an affair!"

Kudo Shinichi:......

He understood.

I mentally cursed her again for being a gossip, but I also started to get really anxious.

His biggest worry was that his long absence from Ran Mouri's side would cause unexpected problems in their relationship.

Thinking of this, Shinichi Kudo could no longer hold back. He stopped worrying about Okita Souji and walked firmly to Ran Mouri.

"Shinichi..."

Ran Mouri's heart suddenly began to pound as she looked at Shinichi Kudo, who was staring intently at her as if he had something to say.

Is the moment she's been waiting for about to happen?
I'm coming!
The others also widened their eyes upon seeing this.

"Xiaolan..."

Shinichi Kudo gazed into Ran Mouri's eyes, his eyes filled with affection, and said softly, "Back in London, you hadn't yet responded to my confession..."

Looking at the boy she had longed for day and night, Ran Mouri felt a surge of adrenaline. Summoning courage from who-knows-where, she suddenly grabbed Shinichi Kudo's tie, pulled him close, and then…

He looked up and pressed himself right next to her.

Feeling the soft, moist touch on his face, Shinichi Kudo stood frozen in place.

The others also exclaimed "Oh~" in unison.

"It's happened! Shinichi and Ran's kiss of the century!"

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out.

Along with it came the sound of a camera shutter—
