Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 7: Lucky Three Picks Triggered Again
Xiaolan looked at Tachibana Shizuka apologetically. She had originally agreed to accompany Tachibana Shizuka to study today, but now someone showed up to disrupt the plan.

Speaking of this kind of thing, we should always seek the opinions of the parties involved, right?

Facing Xiaolan's slightly embarrassed look, Tachibana Seiji acted quite "magnanimously".

"Are you Conan's classmate? Since we've met, why not go and say hello? You've been studying for so long, it's time to take a break."

'Oh no, this is a strong enemy!' Conan's expression was stern. Tachibana Shizuka didn't fall into his trap at all, and he even took this opportunity to show his understanding.

It is very undesirable to show your impatience in front of a girl with whom you have not yet confirmed your relationship.

Especially when there are competitors, in this case you just need to focus on showing qualities such as maturity, stability, and grace.

Originally, Tachibana Shizuka and Xiaolan didn't do anything shameful, right? Xiaolan wants to meet the child, so let's go meet him~
As for whether that group of kids will interfere with Tachibana Seiji and Ran's study session, I can only say that I am worrying too much.

Throughout the 20 years of serialization of "Detective Conan", Tachibana Shizuka simply can't remember whether the plot has ever shown the scene of the Suicide Group doing homework.

Even in the later stages of the plot, there are fewer scenes of these little kids going to school.

The whole day is either a holiday or a vacation, as if their vacation time will never end. As for the bookstore and library scenes that appear in the plot, the kids are basically concentrating on reading comic books.

Let these little brats stay with Tachibana Shizuka and Xiaolan and study quietly. It will probably take less than half an hour before they find a way to sneak away.

All I can say is that Conan's cleverness backfired. Even though he looks very happy at the moment, I'm afraid he will burst into tears soon.

Tachibana Shizuka and Ran packed up their things and followed Conan to the library elevator.

The comics area is on the fourth floor of the library, while the children's area is on the third floor.

As he stepped into the elevator, Tachibana Seiji saw an anxious-looking woman walking hurriedly towards the elevator.

Judging from her haggard look, she probably didn't get a good rest last night.

Seeing this, Tachibana Shizuka pressed the elevator door button before Xiaolan and waited for the woman for a while. The haggard woman hurriedly walked into the elevator and bowed slightly to Tachibana Shizuka to express her gratitude.

Tachibana Shizuka waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be so polite.

If you were to ask what is the most difficult thing for Tachibana Shizuka to adapt to after traveling to the Conan world, it would probably be the Japanese "red tape".

Bowing all the time, bowing all the time, and bowing at so many angles, it's really...
The haggard woman entered the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor. When she first arrived at the library, Tachibana Shizuka had noticed the sign here.

The top floor here should be the offices of staff and administrative staff, such as the director's office.

Tachibana Shizuka didn't continue to pay attention to the woman. After asking Conan, he pressed the button for the 4th floor and waited for the elevator to go up.

Although Tachibana Shizuka stopped paying attention to the woman, it didn't mean Conan stopped paying attention. In fact, the moment Conan saw the woman's expression, the curiosity of the detective in his heart was already pounding.

The detective's intuition told her that there must be something wrong with this woman!
Under normal circumstances, Conan would definitely have a chat with this haggard woman to find out what was bothering her.

But the situation is not right now. The elevator is about to reach the fourth floor and there is simply not enough time.

The most important thing is that the woman is very worried and it is obvious that she does not want to chat with others, no matter if they are children or elementary school students.

The woman was full of thoughts and her eyes were blank, and no one knew what she was thinking. Conan unconsciously began to profile the woman.

As for Tachibana Shizuka, his nose twitched slightly after he entered the elevator. The moment the elevator door closed, the elevator formed a confined space, which forced Tachibana Shizuka's sense of smell to be enhanced.

Then he smelled a faint, indescribable smell in the elevator.

Just when Tachibana Shizuka smelled the strange smell, a light blue light screen appeared in front of him. It was obvious that his plug-in was triggered at this moment.

When you enter the elevator, you suddenly smell a strange smell. You are curious about what it means. At this moment, you can make the following choices:

① Raise unusual situations to those around you and propose an investigation (Choose ① to gain "Talent - Moment of Insight")
② Raise the unusual situation to the people around you (Choose ② and you will gain [Attribute·Physical Strength +1])
③ Keep silent about any abnormalities you discover and pretend you don't know anything (Choose ③ and you will gain the skill "Lock Picking")

Soon they arrived at the 4th floor. Tachibana Shizuka did not rush to make a choice, but followed Xiaolan out of the elevator.

In fact, the plug-in does not require Shizuka Tachibana to make a choice himself. Judging from the last bomb disposal experience in the cinema, the plug-in's judgment of Shizuka Tachibana's choice is more based on his actions rather than his thoughts.

So for Tachibana Shizuka, he has enough time to weigh the pros and cons, or find a way to fix a bug.

He wasn't sure how long this option would last, but Tachibana Shizuka guessed that this option would exist at least until the source of the strange smell in the elevator was investigated.

Tachibana Shizuka and Xiaolan followed Conan to the Kamen Rider area and found three elementary school students who were reading comic books with great interest.

The three elementary school students were completely unaware that Conan had brought people back, and were completely immersed in the comic books.

This behavior seems to have nothing to do with what Conan said about them missing Xiaolan.

Conan obviously realized this, and then he coughed twice vigorously. The three elementary school students looked up when they heard the sound and saw Xiaolan behind Conan.

"Sister Xiaolan, you are in the library too!" The three suicidal people's faces were filled with surprise the moment they saw Xiaolan.

Children are actually the group that can best feel whether adults treat them well or not. As a representative of naughty children, Xiaolan always has enough patience and kindness towards them every time she sees them.

It's natural that the three suicidal people would like Xiaolan more.

Then again, if even Sister Bay can be captured, who wouldn’t like Xiaolan?

"Shh, long time no see everyone~" Xiaolan raised her index finger to signal the elementary school students to speak more quietly, then greeted them with a smile.

Then the elementary school students saw Tachibana Shizuka standing next to Xiaolan.

"Hey, this is a big brother I've never seen before! Sister Xiaolan, are you dating this big brother?" Ayumi's eyes lit up. At such a young age, she already had some of the aura of the gossip queen Sonoko.

It seems that even after Sonoko graduates, Teitan High School will eventually welcome a second-generation gossip queen.
