Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 705 Ran Mouri Pretending to Have Amnesia
"Although the patient only suffered a mild concussion, the brain nerves were damaged, and the possibility of amnesia cannot be ruled out."

After a thorough examination, the attending physician gave Kogoro Mouri and his companions both good news and bad news.

The good news is that Ran Mouri is out of danger and will recover soon.

The bad news is... she may have lost her memory!
My memory is stuck on the day before!
Fortunately, it seems that Ran Mouri only lost her memory of today, and her other memories were not incorrect.

There is no situation where they do not know each other.

Kogoro Mouri and the others felt a mix of joy, sorrow, and heartache.

Fortunately, it was only a one-day memory loss, so it's not unacceptable.

Anyway, it's okay to forget about today's life-threatening experience; it might even be a good thing for Ran Mouri.

That's all they could think.

Conan, however, had very mixed feelings.

A mix of emotions: relief, disappointment, melancholy, and relief.

Today's experience was quite eventful for him.

When Ran Mouri accidentally stumbled upon him, Shinichi Kudo's identity was suddenly exposed, leaving him in a panic.

Just when they finally accepted reality, Ran Mouri almost faced a life-threatening situation, which terrified him.

As it turned out, the person was fine, but had forgotten everything that happened that day, leaving Conan unsure of what to think.

So all his anxiety and fear throughout the day was for nothing.

There's definitely some disappointment. He finally confessed the truth to Ran Mouri, which relieved Ran of her psychological burden and her long-standing inner conflict, but now they're back to square one.

But at the same time, Conan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Perhaps forgetting what happened today wouldn't be a bad thing for either of them.

Especially after today's close call, Conan really doesn't want to go through that again.

This made him determined to keep Xiaolan away from danger and prevent her from getting involved in the Black Organization's vortex.

In this sense, Xiaolan's amnesia actually helped her.

Conan's expression changed, but he finally let out a long sigh.

Perhaps this is fate.

He realized that he could never truly be with Ran as Shinichi Kudo.

Conan immediately smiled with relief.

It's okay, then I'll continue to protect Ran as Conan...

……

Conan didn't notice that Ran Mouri, who was talking to her parents, was secretly glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, her gaze equally complicated.

What no one knew was that Ran Mouri hadn't actually lost her memory; it was all an act she was putting on.

In other words, she still remembers everything that happened today very clearly!
She also remembers Conan's identity.

"Shinichi..."

Ran Mouri silently recited a sentence in her heart.

"Forgive me..."

It was all done intentionally by the girl.

The reason she pretended to have amnesia was precisely for Conan's sake.

Just as Ran Mouri was saving Conan, she suddenly realized something.

The reason Conan has been trying so hard to keep it from me, to keep me from knowing that he is actually Shinichi Kudo, is that he doesn't want me to be involved in danger, just as I don't want to see him in danger either.

However, the Black Organization that Conan faces is completely different from the bomber he encountered today, and the level of danger is also completely different.

Once they learn Conan's true identity, their mindsets will inevitably change.

In this case, will Conan still be able to focus on fighting the Black Organization?

When making decisions, he will definitely consider his own interests more, even if it is not the best choice.

Wouldn't that make me a burden to him?

If, even just by chance, Conan's safety is compromised as a result, I will inevitably regret it deeply.

But she knew Shinichi well and knew it was impossible to persuade him.

Since that's the case, let's just go back to the beginning. Let's pretend nothing ever happened.

As long as he pretends not to know that he is Shinichi, Conan won't have to take unnecessary risks for his own sake.

He can devote himself wholeheartedly to dealing with the organization.

Without variables, there are no surprises.

This is why Ran Mouri pretended to have amnesia.

Everything was done with Conan's sake in mind.

Although she couldn't clearly grasp the power of the Black Organization, she instinctively made the choice that was most beneficial to Conan.

Even though it would make her feel wronged, the girl was still happy to do it.

She only hoped that the person in her heart would be safe and sound, and she would do anything to reduce the danger even by a fraction.

Conan was unaware of Ran Mouri's good intentions; the girl kept everything hidden in her heart.

Composing herself, Ran Mouri treated Conan as usual, as if she truly didn't know his identity.

Perhaps the girl hid it too well, because even Conan didn't notice anything unusual and thought she had really lost her memory.

Although his feelings were hard to describe, he had no regrets as long as the girl was safe and sound.

"That's fine, it's good."

They both thought to themselves at the same time.

……

Since she didn't suffer any serious physical injuries, only superficial wounds, Ran Mouri recovered quickly thanks to her constitution.

After three days of observation in the hospital and confirmation that there were no long-term effects, he was discharged smoothly.

Kogoro Mouri and the others tried hard to find excuses to cover up their lost memories, and fortunately Ran Mouri accepted it without pressing for details.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Back home, everything seemed unchanged.

Kogoro Mouri continues to drink, race horses, and chase celebrities every day, and occasionally goes to play pachinko.

After recovering, Ran Mouri returned to her usual self, sometimes gentle and mature, sometimes terrifying like a tyrannical dragon.

Conan could only pretend nothing had happened, trying his best to play the role of an elementary school student and continuing to call her "Ran-neechan".

Anyway, he's used to it.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but after that, Ran Mouri always seemed to find excuses to avoid taking a bath with me.

Although Conan himself was too embarrassed to continue taking advantage of Ran Mouri's discovering of his identity, it still felt a bit strange.

And she was always kicked out to sleep with the older man.

With the perks gone, Conan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, he didn't suspect anything. It was just that Ran Mouri's acting was too good; she didn't even understand the value of being a world-class star...

Takeshi Ono once said that with Ran Mouri's talent, he was confident he could win her an Oscar for Best Actress!

Unfortunately, the girl's heart wasn't in this.

Being able to face each other every day but not recognize each other is also a kind of torment for Ran Mouri. She finally understands the dilemma Conan had been struggling with.

However, it's not all bad.

Whenever she sees Conan deliberately trying to act childish in front of her, she always chuckles to herself.

And when I called Shinichi Kudo, I didn't understand why Conan always made excuses to avoid my sight, but now I know the answer.

The kid's playing with his phone by himself!
With a mischievous streak, Ran Mouri deliberately makes excuses to call Shinichi Kudo in front of Conan.

Seeing Conan's flustered and guilty appearance, the girl secretly chuckled to herself.

One more person who's good at having fun!

The days passed one after another.

It's still the same Mouri Detective Agency.

Everything seemed unchanged, yet something was subtly altering...
