Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 49: Omen of Moon Shadow Island
"Mantiantang Game Company. It's really lively here." Tachibana Seiji sighed as he looked at the long queue on the first floor of the hotel.

Although he didn't know the size of the Mantiantang Game Company, but judging from the current scene, it seemed to be a very popular game company?
Unlike the game companies that Tachibana Shizuka had seen in his previous life, this Mantiantang game company operates a wide variety of categories.

Tachibana Shizuka only glanced at the press conference venue and actually saw a punch strength tester.
Tachibana Shizuka glanced at Xiaolan inadvertently.

Fortunately, after traveling through time, Tachibana Shizuka's growth ceiling was high enough, otherwise he would have to worry about the loss of his authority as a husband in the future.

No wonder Uncle Maori practiced judo so hard in college. It turns out he is quite far-sighted.

Speaking of Maori Kogoro.
When Tachibana Shizuka turned around, he saw Maori Kogoro, who was completely exhausted. The reason why this uncle said this was partly because of Tachibana Shizuka.

After receiving the invitation from Xiaolan, Shizue Tachibana decided to visit Kogoro Mouri at the office. After all, the game company invited Kogoro Mouri and his family, not Shizue Tachibana.

Xiaolan brought Shizuka Tachibana along because of their friendship, and Shizuka Tachibana also understood that courtesy is always appreciated.

Besides, it’s not that difficult to establish a good relationship with Kogoro Mori.

When Tachibana Shizuka returned home from school on Friday, he found two bottles of Hakushu from home, and was then warmly received by Mouri Kogoro at the office.

We also enjoyed the wonderful performance of Kogoro Mori charging at a whole bottle of whiskey.

To be honest, Shizuka Tachibana felt that Kogoro Mouri had a really good physical condition. Even though he smoked and drank but didn't perm his hair, he could still occasionally give the criminals a shoulder throw.

Unfortunately, the night's indulgence was not reset at sunrise, so now Kogoro Mouri felt like he was walking on cotton.

"How are you, uncle? Are you feeling better?" While accompanying Xiaolan to the deposit, Tachibana Seiji ran to the vending machine and bought a bottle of energy drink for Mouri Kogoro.

After Kogoro Mouri finished drinking, Shizue Tachibana asked with concern.

I don’t know whether the functional drink really worked or the cold drink awakened Kogoro Mouri’s consciousness.

In short, after drinking half a bottle of drink, Kogoro Mouri looked a lot more energetic.

"Thanks to you, Shizue!" Maori Kogoro patted Tachibana Shizue's shoulder affectionately with a tone of having survived a disaster:

"Fortunately you are reliable, otherwise today would be difficult."

"That's because you drank too much yesterday, Dad!" Xiaolan frowned. She was just having a good time chatting with Tachibana Shizuka last night, but when she turned around, the whole bottle of whiskey was drunk up by Mouri Kogoro.

Facing Xiaolan's remarks, Maori Kogoro and Tachibana Shizuka looked at each other and chose not to say anything, which made Conan who was standing beside them suffer.

From last night until now, he has not made any contribution to sowing discord between Tachibana Shizuka and Mori Kogoro.

Or rather, he tried, but failed.

Until now, Conan has been wondering why, although they are both male high school students, Tachibana Shizuka and Kudo Shinichi are treated so differently by Mouri Kogoro?

Conan is unable to do anything because of Kogoro Mouri's "double standards", but his desire to reveal his true identity is becoming more and more uncontrollable.

Why not have a showdown with Xiaolan tonight?
While waiting in line, Tachibana Seiji and his friends encountered three employees from Mantiantang Game Company who wanted to cut in line.

Tachibana Seiji's eyes swept across the boxes that the three people had checked in. It must be said that the rice flower people are both skilled and bold.

In his previous life, before setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, Tachibana Shizuka would light the fuse first and then run more than ten meters.

Tachibana Shizuka didn't intend to get involved in such trivial matters. After all, the explosion wouldn't affect the press conference venue. Besides, since Conan wasn't around, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for him and Ran to spend some time together?

Sure enough, shortly after they entered, Conan took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and ran away somewhere unknown.

Kogoro Mouri was asked to leave by the organizer, and soon only Shizuji Tachibana and Ran were left in the four-person team in the venue.

Just as Tachibana Shizuka and Xiaolan were strolling around the venue, he suddenly saw a small group of people gathering not far away.

"Excuse me, what is the project over there?" Tachibana Shizuka asked, grabbing a staff member.

"That's a lottery event over there. You can draw a prize once with an invitation."

"Lottery?" Tachibana Shizuka blinked and thought of something, looking at Xiaolan beside him: "Why don't we give it a try?"

"Okay~" Xiaolan's eyes smiled into crescent shapes. She was very confident about activities like lucky draws.

So the two of them stood at the end of the line holding the invitation letters, and arrived at the front of the lottery booth in about half an hour.

"Please show us your invitation letters." The staff member said to Tachibana Shizuka and Xiaolan with a smile.

"This is our invitation." Xiaolan handed the invitation to the staff, then looked at Tachibana Shizuka: "Shizuka, do you want to try your luck?"

"Forget it, I've never been good at lotteries." Tachibana Shizuka smiled and shook his head. Is he crazy to compete with Maori Ran in luck?

Seeing that Tachibana Shizuka really didn't want to draw the lottery, Xiaolan no longer refused and shook the wooden handle a few times.

Then a small ball of a unique color rolled out.

"Huh?" the staff exclaimed in surprise, then announced loudly, "Congratulations to this young lady and gentleman for winning our grand prize—a three-day, two-night family vacation to Moon Shadow Island!"

"Uh," Tachibana Shizuka hesitated several times before finally asking, "What is this Moon Shadow Island?"

The staff probably knew that their special prize was not somewhere particularly famous, so they explained it to Tachibana Shizuka.

The descriptions of the island's scenery and customs are not important. Tachibana Shizuka had seen a lot of such clichés in his previous life.

But when it was mentioned that Tsukikage Island was the hometown of pianist Keiji Aso, Tachibana Shizuka understood instantly.

It really is here.
Tachibana Shizuka suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and praised Xiaolan sincerely: "As expected of you, you are Ran. Your luck is really great."

"Haha, I'm just good at lotteries." After receiving Tachibana Shizuka's straightforward praise, Xiaolan felt a little shy and even a little anxious to change the subject:

"Look, Dad is here!"

"Uncle Mori is very good at this. His ability to control the situation is also amazing~" Tachibana Shizuka was amazed to see Kogoro Mori on the stage speaking freely and not at all nervous.

It seems this guy has a natural talent for socializing? A social terrorist?
And in the next second, Kogoro Mouri's originally talkative voice was instantly drowned out by a violent explosion.

"What exploded?!"
