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

Chapter 96 Ran and Sonoko's Plan
Dr. A Li's house.

After Conan returned to normal, Dr. Agasa continued his routine of leaving early and returning late, while Keisuke, who had already attended school for a day, naturally prepared to start enjoying his vacation.

Unexpectedly, Ran recovered her spirits in less than a day and excitedly brought Sonoko and Conan to Professor Agasa's house early in the morning.

Ran squinted, bent down, and looked at Keisuke and Ai in front of her, asking, "Keisuke, do you remember what I told you a while ago?"

"You told me that?" Upon hearing Ran's words, Hui Jie, who had just woken up and was not very clear-headed, began to rack his brains to recall what he had said to Ran.

"Is this the 426th plan of the parents' reconciliation operation prepared by Ran-neechan?" While Teruyuki was still thinking, Ai had already given the answer.

Ran was astonished that Ai could remember even the exact number of times. She covered her mouth in surprise as she looked at her, then smiled knowingly and said, "As expected of Ai!"

Hearing that Ai had already answered the question for him, Keisuke, who was half awake, hugged Ai beside him, kissed her cheek naturally, and said, "As expected of my Ai, what would I do without you!"

"Hey, you two brats, there's a limit to how much you show off your love! Don't treat us like we're invisible!" Sonoko used her hand to separate Keisuke and Ai, then looked at Keisuke with a sour expression, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.

Ran looked at Ai with an awkward smile, then pulled Sonoko over and said, "Okay, stop playing around, Sonoko!"

"Let's talk about the progress of the plan!"

Getting back to the main topic, Ran's expression turned serious. After clearing her throat, she said to Keisuke and Ai, "I've already booked two rooms at the Queen Hotel in Izu, and I've also asked Dad and Mom to come with me to Izu."

"Hmph," Sonoko said, hands on her hips, head tilted back, and snorting at Keisuke, "And I'll take you kids to the Kawaraya Inn in Izu a day early for my 'non-rich girl operation'!"

Then, Sonoko casually tossed her hair, revealing a confident expression, and said to Teruyuki:

"This time, I deliberately avoided my villa or the nearby high-end hotels, and chose a run-down hotel to give others a chance to pluck this unattainable flower!"

Sonoko stretched one hand to the sky and clutched her heart with the other, exclaiming in an exaggerated tone, "Ah! I wonder where the prince charming will be able to seize this rare opportunity?"

Conan silently thought to himself: Maybe the others just don't like you.

As if sensing Conan's thoughts, Sonoko sneezed, then looked around and glanced at Conan with some suspicion, wondering if he was secretly cursing her.

Sensing Sonoko's gaze, Conan quickly explained Ran's plan.

"The next day, after Ran took Uncle Mori and Aunt Eri to the two rooms that had been booked, Sonoko would call Ran and ask her to go to the hotel."

"Yes, yes," Xiaolan nodded, clenched her fists, and said with a determined look in her eyes, "With these repeated unexpected encounters on the beach and at the hotel, plus their long-awaited reunion, they're sure to make up!"

After listening to Ran's plan, Teruaki felt there were a lot of problems. However, considering that the most crucial issue was that Kogoro Mouri himself didn't seem to have any intention of getting back together, even if Ran's plan was perfect, it wouldn't matter. In the end, he didn't say anything to discourage Ran.

Taking into account the vacation time of the group, the trip to Izu was planned for three days and two nights, starting tomorrow.

"Leaving tomorrow?" After a moment's thought, Huijie whispered to Ai beside him, "We're not going to have to go to school in three days, are we?"

As Ai nodded, a look of understanding flashed in Keisuke's eyes. So Teitan Elementary School really really is one day on, four days off!
After explaining her plan, Ran patted Conan's head, glanced at the somewhat tired Keisuke, and turned to Ai beside her, saying, "I've already spoken to the professor. Conan will stay with the professor today, and Sonoko will take you to Izu tomorrow."

Hearing this, Ai looked at Keisuke, who was still yawning beside her, and nodded helplessly.

"Then we'll have to leave now!"

"See you tomorrow, kid!" With that, Ran and Sonoko waved to the group and left Professor Agasa's house.

After watching Ran and Sonoko leave, Huijie couldn't help but yawn. Getting up early was still too difficult for him. He then walked upstairs with a sleepy look on his face.

Ai seemed to have caught Keisuke's urges and followed him upstairs to catch up on sleep.

Suddenly realizing he was all alone in the living room, Conan was momentarily confused, wondering if he had arrived too early.

……

Early the next morning, at Professor Agasa's house.

"Ding dong! Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang, and Conan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately ran over and opened the door.

"Sister Sonoko, you're here!"

Sonoko nodded, then put one hand on her hip, carrying several breakfasts, and looked upstairs, saying, "That brat Keisuke probably hasn't gotten up yet!"

Conan, imagining the scene inside, gave Sonoko a look of utter disbelief and shook his head, saying, "You're wrong. Keisuke got up really early today!"

"That's really something, that kid actually managed to wake up so early!" Sonoko exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Conan's words.

After saying that, Sonoko followed Conan into the house, her lips twitching involuntarily.

At this moment, Keisuke was enjoying Ai's lap pillow, with a peaceful expression on his face, while Ai was gently cleaning Keisuke's ears, occasionally blowing on them.

When Ai saw Sonoko bringing breakfast over, she stopped what she was doing, nudged Keisuke's head, and then, seeing that Keisuke didn't react, gave him a kiss on the forehead with a hint of helplessness.

Seeing Ai's natural movements, Sonoko glared at Keisuke with a ferocious expression, gritting her teeth and shouting, "Damn it! You brat, wake up right now! Don't you know I can't stand this kind of thing?"

Upon opening his eyes, the first thing Keisuke saw was Sonoko, who was baring her teeth and claws. After glancing at Ai, who was secretly laughing beside him, Keisuke couldn't help but show an expression of utter despair.

"My wonderful beach trip is ruined! It ended the moment I met you!"

Seeing what Huijie was doing, Sonoko was unsure whether to continue, so she looked at Ai with some confusion.

At this moment, Ai had returned to her usual aloof demeanor and explained to Sonoko, "Kisuke and I made a bet on who the second person he would see after he opened his eyes again would be?"

"I see, so it seems this brat lost!"

Thinking about how she made Keisuke lose the bet, Sonoko's mood suddenly improved, and she asked Ai with a smile, "So what was the bet?"

Ai shook her head and said calmly, "There are no stakes. It's just a simple little game."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Sonoko's face vanished instantly, and her previously pleasant mood came to an abrupt end.

No stakes? Hakimi, you bastard!
Do you only see us as part of your play?
