Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 368 You probably don't want me to tell you what you did...

Following the sounds of the argument, Lin Xiuyi and Pengzi passed through several ancient pine trees and arrived at a secluded corner.

This place is far from the main path of worship, and it is so quiet that you can only hear the rustling of the wind through the leaves.

The twins, including Shizuka with the ponytail, were seen struggling with the blond-haired man.

Shizuka's ponytail had become a little loose, with a few strands of hair sticking messily to her sweaty cheeks.

Her eyes were wide open, filled with terror and anger.

"Hey, stop pretending!"

The blond-haired man sneered, grabbing Shizuka's wrist with one hand and trying to touch her face with the other.
"I've seen through your tricks. We've slept together before, so going at it again is a piece of cake."

"I don't understand what you're saying! Get out of here right now!"

Shizuka angrily shouted and struggled, but the other person was clearly stronger and she couldn't break free no matter what she did.

"Heh, you're quite the actor. You probably don't want me to tell Wuji what you've been doing..."

The blond-haired man leaned close to Shizuka's ear with a threatening look on his face, and his hot breath made the girl turn her face away in disgust.

Shizuka's body suddenly stiffened, and the color drained from her face rapidly.

"You, you dare!"

Her voice trembled with fear, yet she forced her back to stand straight.

"If you dare tell Satoshi, I'll..."

Before the girl with the ponytail could finish speaking, Tomoko, who was walking behind Lin Xiuyi, accidentally kicked an empty soda can.

A sharp "clang" rang out, particularly jarring in the quiet corner.

Taisuke immediately released Shizuka and turned to look at the source of the sound. When he saw who it was, a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

"Oh, isn't this our Miss Tomoko?"

Taisuke spread his hands exaggeratedly, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Hayashi Hideichi and Tomoko.
"What? The young lady doesn't like the Suzuki family's young master, but she's gotten together with this high school detective?"

As he spoke, the blond-haired man deliberately licked his lips, revealing a lewd expression.

"Taisuke, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Tomoko's face flushed crimson instantly, her chest heaving violently; she was clearly furious.
"We just happened to meet!"

"Is that so?" Taisuke chuckled sarcastically.

"Don't worry, I don't care what your relationship is." He glanced meaningfully at Shizuka. "Anyway, I'm not the one who's being cuckolded."

After saying that, the blond-haired man arrogantly tossed his hair and swaggered away, not forgetting to make a lewd gesture to Shizuka as he left.

"Shizuka, did he threaten you in some way?"

Tomoko quickly stepped forward and gently placed her hands on the ponytail girl's trembling shoulders.

She could feel the other person's body trembling slightly, and their palms were ice cold.

“…No, no, that’s not true,” Shizuka forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace. “He was just joking with me.”

Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, and her eyes darted around, avoiding eye contact with the two people in front of her.

"Shizuka, if he threatens you, I can..."

Before Tomoko could finish speaking, Shizuka suddenly jerked her hand away as if she had been electrocuted.

"I told you, I'm fine!"

The girl with the ponytail practically screamed those words.

She shoved Tomoko away abruptly and ran off without looking back.

"This……"

Tomoko stood frozen in place, her outstretched hand hanging in mid-air. She looked at Shizuka's retreating figure with a puzzled expression, her brows furrowed tightly.

“She clearly has something on that blond guy that he can’t tell her off,” Lin Xiuyi said casually.

Tomoko finally snapped out of her daze. She nodded thoughtfully at first, then, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she raised her chin and huffed arrogantly, "I know! You don't need to say anything more!"

Lin Xiu shrugged indifferently. He was just out having fun, not causing trouble.

Since the other party had this attitude, he was naturally happy to pretend he didn't see it and simply turned around and left.

In the blink of an eye, only Tomoko remained in the spot.
She bit her lower lip lightly, her fingers unconsciously twirling a strand of hair as she thought about what Lin Xiuyi had just said: "Handle, what handle could Shizuka have that Taisuke knows?"

……

After wandering aimlessly around the shrine for a while and finding it uninteresting, Lin Xiuyi walked back to where the bus was parked.

But from a distance, he saw Furuya Rei pitifully tugging at his ear, standing in front of the bus like a child who had done something wrong.

Three girls surrounded him.

Eri Kisaki stood with her hands on her hips, Yukiko crossed her arms, and Reiko puffed out her cheeks, looking just like an angry little pufferfish.

Not far away, Chikage Tomizawa, Midori Orikasa, and Akane Koizumi were watching the show with great interest, while Narumi looked at Rei Furuya with concern.

Chikage Tomizawa even pulled out a bag of potato chips from somewhere and started eating them while watching.

"How dare you lie to us!" Eri Kisaki gritted her teeth, her eyes behind her glasses flashing with a dangerous light. "You've got some nerve, Zero!"

"I...I just wanted to help Master..." Furuya Rei explained with a dry laugh, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

He was about to continue his explanation when Yukiko glared at him fiercely, startling him so much that he immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"Does he need your help?" Yukiko stomped her foot angrily. "And you call me 'teacher's wife'? Is this how you treat your teacher's wife?"

"I know I was wrong..."

Rei Furuya lowered his head, his golden bangs falling down to cover his eyes, and his voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's hum.

"I will never do this again."

"Hmph! It's too late to admit your mistake now!" Reiko puffed out her cheeks. "The Benzaiten goddess here is the most effective for praying for love! I was planning to go and worship with my older brother! Now you've ruined everything! How are you going to make it up to me?"

Rei Furuya's eyes darted around, and suddenly an idea struck him: "How about... I go and fetch Master?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Lin Xiuyi, who was about to slip away not far away.

Without a second thought, the disloyal disciple shouted, "Three mistresses! Master is over there!"

Eri, Yukiko, and Reiko turned their heads at the same time and saw Hayashi Shuichi sneaking around, preparing to escape.

"Shuichi!"

"Shuichi!"

"Onii-chan!"

The three girls shouted at the same time.

Ugh, I should have stayed at the shrine a little longer...

Lin Xiuyi covered his face in frustration, then composed himself and turned around with a perfect smile: "Oh, you're all back? Chengshi was found too?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people watching the commotion couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As soon as he said that, the onlookers burst out laughing.

“Shuichi, your apprentice has already confessed,” Tomizawa Chikage wiped away tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, “and you’re still pretending?”

"Hmph! You actually teach your apprentice to lie," Akane Koizumi said with disdain. "You think you're worthy of being a teacher?"
