Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 359 You didn't come to the beach just to see this, did you?
"I only thought that because I saw that my teacher's wife and the others weren't there..."

Before Furuya Rei could finish speaking her aggrieved words, Eri Kisaki's cold voice rang out from behind the four of them.

"What? You saw we weren't here? What have you been up to behind our backs again?"

Kogoro Mouri was startled.

He mechanically turned around and saw Ruri standing next to Eri. He immediately shook his head vigorously, "No! Absolutely not!"

Ruri narrowed her eyes suspiciously, her gaze lingering for a moment on Kogoro Mouri's swollen cheek: "Really?"

“Shuichi?” Eri raised an eyebrow at her childhood friend.

Lin Xiuyi chuckled and scratched his head: "Actually, it's nothing. Kogoro slipped on some seaweed and pulled me along... Then we almost bumped into a pair of twin girls. Kogoro was mistaken for a pervert and got slapped."

"Haha!" Yukiko laughed so hard she almost fell over. "No wonder half of his face was so red."

Ruri was both annoyed and amused, and gently stroked Kogoro Mouri's cheek.

The latter immediately flashed a fawning smile and eagerly took the beach bag from her shoulder.

"And what about you?" Eri Kisaki stared at Hideaki Hayashi with a half-smile. "You didn't get beaten up?"

“It was just an accident,” Lin Xiuyi shrugged. “The girl I bumped into was quite reasonable.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kogoro Mouri couldn't wait to expose his weakness: "No way! Shuichi is so cunning! He was clearly staring at the other person's chest too, but he said he was worshipping Buddha..."

Lin Xiuyi covered her face in despair.

What an idiot! What a terrible teammate!

"Oh? Kogoro..."

Ruri's smile turned dangerous. Just moments before, she had been gently stroking Kogoro Mouri's fingers, but suddenly she grabbed his cheek.
"So that's why you got this slap mark—because you were staring at someone's chest! You deserved it!"

As she spoke, she suddenly twisted her hand forcefully.

"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!"

Kogoro Mouri's scream startled several seagulls into flight.

Lin Xiuyi had no time to sympathize with his friend at this moment, because he found himself surrounded by a group of girls, each with eyes burning with anger.

"Onii-chan..." Reiko puffed out her cheeks and put her hands on her hips, "You didn't come to the beach just to see this, did you?"

“Senior…” Orikasa Midori sighed in disappointment, “I never expected you to be this kind of person.”

"Hmph! I told you long ago, he's a big pervert!" Akane Koizumi announced triumphantly, her delicate chin held high.

“It’s just a man’s nature…” Tomizawa Chikage shook her head speechlessly.

"Idiot!" Yukiko stomped her foot angrily, her ample bosom swaying with her breath. "Even though Glasses Girl is flat-chested, she still has me, right? If you want to look, look at me! Why bother strangers!"

"You stinking fox!" Eri Kisaki gritted her teeth, her fingers cracking as she clenched them. "So what if you have two flabby breasts?"

“That’s truly remarkable…” Yukiko deliberately puffed out her chest, looking at Eri provocatively, “Who told some people not to have it?”

Upon hearing this, Reiko, Akane Koizumi, and Midori Orikasa all looked down at their chests in unison.

Reiko immediately protested, "I just haven't reached puberty yet!"

Akane Koizumi and Midori Orikasa quickly nodded in agreement, and the three of them simultaneously stole glances at Yukiko's impressive curves.

Eri Kisaki's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, furious. Chikage Tomizawa sighed and rubbed her forehead, "How did this all come about? Shouldn't we be teaching this jerk who's been staring at other people's chests a lesson?"

The girls then realized what was happening and all glared at Lin Xiuyi.

Feeling a chill run down her spine under so many eyes, Lin Xiu quickly forced a laugh and changed the subject: "Um... you guys must be hungry too, right? How about we go eat? I just saw a fried noodle place..."

Just then, a flippant male voice broke in: "Hey, ladies! What a coincidence to meet you again..."

Lin Xiu frowned and turned her head, seeing a young man with dyed yellow hair striking an exaggerated pose that he thought was cool, his shiny hair particularly dazzling under the light.

"How about it, ladies, how about we...?"

"Who has any connection with you!" Eri, already in a bad mood, interrupted him abruptly, "Stop following us!"

"Hey, that's such an old-fashioned way to pick someone up," Tomizawa Chikage waved her hand impatiently. "We have male companions, don't bother us."

“Let’s go, Changjie,” his friend next to the blond guy awkwardly tugged at his sleeve.

The blond-haired man, however, was undeterred, his gaze lingering on Yukiko: "This beautiful woman..."

"I already said that!" Yukiko grabbed Hayashi Shuichi's arm. "I have a boyfriend!"

"Then this one..."

Undeterred, the blond-haired man looked at Orihime Midori again.

The delinquent girl expressionlessly pulled a wooden knife from under her skirt and lightly patted it in her palm, making a chilling "slap slap" sound.

"S-Sorry!"

The blond-haired man immediately took two steps back, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

His gaze swept over Ruri, who was scolding Kogoro Mouri, and then fell on Reiko and Akane Koizumi. He clicked his tongue regretfully, "The remaining two are pretty, but it's a pity they're both children... If you go on a date with them, the police will arrest you."

When Lingzi heard someone compliment her on her beauty, she happily touched her cheek.

Akane Koizumi was trembling with anger and snapped, "Hey! Who are you calling a child!"

"What? Are you an adult now?" The blond-haired guy's eyes widened in surprise. "A legal loli?"

Akane Koizumi opened her mouth, and under everyone's gaze, reluctantly admitted, "...No."

"That settles it then," the blond-haired man waved his hand dismissively. "I just want to meet pretty girls, not end up in jail."

“In fact, most of the girls here are not yet adults,” Lin Xiuyi warned. “They are still high school students, so stop harassing them.”

"Hey high school students!" The blond-haired guy's eyes lit up. "Ladies, I'm a student at Tokyo University. If you have any questions about your studies, feel free to ask me. We can learn from each other..."

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Lin Xiuyi took out his Metropolitan Police Department consultant's badge. "If you say another word, I'll take you to the police station right now and charge you with harassment of a minor!"

“…I’m sorry,” the young man next to him quickly apologized, then pulled the somewhat dazed blond-haired man away.

"How dare you call me a child..." Akane Koizumi stared at the blond-haired man's retreating figure, a dangerous glint in her eyes. "I'll draw a circle and curse you..."

The others thought she was just saying things out of anger, but Lin Xiuyi knew how formidable this apprentice witch was, and quickly stepped in front of her.

"Alright, we've been delayed for so long, and I'm hungry too. Let's hurry up and find a place to eat."
