Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 100 Mother and son talk
"Future daughter-in-law? Your girlfriend?" Upon hearing Hui Jie's words, Eri Kisaki didn't react for a moment and repeated Hui Jie's words.

After a while, when she came to her senses, her eyes first showed surprise, then delight as she looked at Ai.

Eri asked Ai in her gentlest tone, "Is that really true? Don't worry, if you don't want to, I'll make sure this kid stays away from you from now on."

Ai clearly didn't expect Teruyuki to be so direct. She wasn't prepared at all, and Teruyuki actually brought it up directly.
Upon hearing Eri's words, Ai froze for a moment. Feeling Eri's gaze, Ai took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

Seeing Ai nod, Eri Kisaki was somewhat pleased, but remembering what she had witnessed before arriving, she turned to Keisuke with a serious expression and asked Ai:

“I just saw Huijie bullying you. If you’ve been wronged, don’t hide it. Just tell me and I’ll stand up for you.”

Upon hearing this, Huijie rolled his eyes. Me, bullying Ai? She's clearly the one acting against me!
How dare they slander me! I want to see my lawyer!
Ai shook her head and told Eri the truth: "I wasn't wronged. What happened just now was just a joke."

Upon hearing Ai's words, Keisuke's heart sank. It was indeed a joke, but Eri hadn't seen the whole story! She had no idea that Ai was acting.

"Oh?" Sure enough, upon hearing Ai's words, Eri looked sharply at Teruyuki and then smiled at Ai, saying, "Excuse me, I need to borrow your boyfriend for a moment. I need to talk to my son about something now."

After saying that, he pulled Huijie away to other places.

After leaving Ai Haibara's side for a while, Eri Kisaki sighed and said to Teruyuki, "I knew there would be problems if I sent you to Kogoro's place."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

She knew that Kogoro Mouri was unreliable in his daily life, which was why she sent Teruyuki to Professor Agasa's place. However, the two places were not far apart, and Kogoro Mouri could not just let his son grow up badly in his vicinity.

Therefore, although she had a good first impression of Ai, she would not easily believe what an outsider like Ai said when it came to her son, and instead prepared to ask Teruyuki herself.

Hearing that Eri Kisaki had given him room to explain, Teruyuki breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ai is right, it really was a joke."

Eri glanced at Teruyuki and adopted the air of a parent, saying, "If you're just going to tell me it was a joke, then I'll have to make up for the lack of moral education you've received."

Seeing Eri's serious expression, Teruyuki quickly waved his hand and explained, "Mom, let me finish. It was a joke, a joke for both of us."

"..."

"That's it, you know what happened next."

After hearing what Teruyuki said, Eri Kisaki covered her forehead and said helplessly, "The way you two get along is really different from normal people!"

"But since this is a tacit understanding that belongs only to you two, I won't say any more. Just remember one thing: don't really hurt your girl, understand?"

Hui Jie nodded after listening to Eri Kisaki's words, without saying anything more.

Seeing Huijie's well-behaved appearance, Eri Kisaki said with some melancholy, "I'm relieved to see how sensible you are. I wish Ran could be like you."

When Eri mentioned Ran, Teruyuki looked at her in confusion. Ran is still too young to understand!

Sensing Keisuke's gaze, Eri Kisaki chuckled softly, "Ran has always hoped that Kogoro and I would get back together, but even after hundreds of attempts, she still hasn't given up." Suddenly, Eri's phone beeped. She glanced at it, pointed the message Ran had just sent at Keisuke, and sighed helplessly.
"She'll probably try again today, but she still doesn't understand that it's not something we can succeed by just meeting a few more times."

"As expected of my mom, she already figured it out!" When Eri Kisaki saw through Ran's plan, Teruichi was taken aback, but not surprised. After all, Eri Kisaki was not stupid. This was the 400th time already, how could she not have noticed anything?

Hearing her son's praise, Eri Kisaki smiled and explained to Teruyuki, "Ran asked me to go out, and to such a famous dating spot, isn't the answer obvious?"

Seeing the smile on Eri's face, Teruyuki nodded, then asked, "But Mom, you still came, didn't you?"

"After all, it's Ran's kind gesture, we can't just refuse her outright!" Eri's face flushed slightly as she looked at the messages in her hand, flipping through them up and down, trying to refresh the page to find another message.

Seeing that Eri Kisaki was denying it, Teruyuki pretended to be mature and imitated Eri Kisaki's words, saying to her, "Alright, since this is your unique way of getting along, then I won't say anything."

Hearing what Teruyuki said, Eri Kisaki chuckled, patted Teruyuki's head, and said to him, "Alright, go back and find my future daughter-in-law."

……

Meanwhile, at the Queen Hotel in Izu.

Ran looked at the unanswered messages on her phone and felt a little worried that Eri Kisaki might have discovered her plan ahead of time.

Conan had already tipped off Eri Kisaki when she came to see Keisuke. He recognized Eri Kisaki and quickly sent the message to Ran's "Parents' Reconciliation Operation" group.

"Drip!"

Upon hearing the phone notification, Ran immediately looked at Eri's reply and breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was normal and still within her plan!
……

the other side.

Masahiko Michiwaki had just charmed Sonoko with his sweet talk and was now going back with her to find Teruyuki and the others.

Thinking that children wouldn't be too tight-lipped, Masahiko Michiwaki planned to have a meal with the group after meeting them, and then find out where Sonoko was located so he could destroy any photos of his crime from yesterday that might be taken.

Just then, Masahiko Michiwaki noticed that Sonoko, who was looking at her phone, suddenly stopped in her tracks. His heart sank; had he been discovered?

So Michiwaki Masahiko slowly approached Sonoko and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"It's nothing, my friend just told me to go have lunch first." Sonoko shook her head. Ran said that Eri hadn't discovered her plan, but just to be on the safe side, she decided to postpone it a little and let Sonoko go have lunch first.

"Oh, I see. Let's hurry up and go!"

Michiwaki Masahiko narrowed his eyes and nodded. He was certain that Sonoko's pause wasn't due to this reason, but as long as he wasn't exposed, nothing else mattered.
