The world of science is unscientific

“Takagi, didn’t you say there was something important in your backpack?” Sato Miwako was now completely relieved and looked at Takagi Wataru. “Let me see it.”

"N-nothing," Takagi Wataru opened his backpack to show it off. "Actually, the most important thing is this backpack; it's been with me for a long time."

"Really..." Sato Miwako was a little speechless, and reached out her hand, saying, "Then what are you going to give me?"

Now Takagi Wataru couldn't find an excuse to cover it up.

Fireworks are still going off, the case is considered closed, and the colleagues haven't arrived yet.

How about I propose?

“Officer Sato…” Takagi Wataru reached into his ring box, “Please accept this…”

Just then, a huge firework exploded in the sky above the Ferris wheel behind Takagi Wataru.

The dazzling colors were reflected perfectly in Sato Miwako's eyes.

The explosion at this angle...

Yusuke Suzuki knew something was wrong.

As expected, Sato Miwako lost her senses the moment she saw the fireworks and collapsed to the ground.

Takagi Wataru silently loosened his grip on the ring box, letting it fall into his pocket.

It's within reach, yet it feels like it's thousands of miles away.

"Officer Sato, you must be thinking about the past again."

Ai Haibara glanced at the sky, "The incident where Officer Matsuda was killed in the Ferris wheel explosion."

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, unaware of the details, chose silence as the best option.

But Ayumi's eyes were filled with tears. "Idiot! Why did you have to choose a place like this for your date?"

Mitsuhiko declared righteously, "We're both men, so I don't sympathize with you either!"

Is this all Wataru Takagi's fault?

Yusuke Suzuki glanced coldly at Mitsuhiko, then sighed.

This is just a twist of fate; no one is at fault.

Takagi Wataru, with his straightforward mind, would never have thought of this. Where else could an honest man go on a date?

Cinemas, parks, and amusement parks.

There are only a few places.

His colleagues were still putting pressure on him, and even the thought of proposing was repeatedly tormented by his excited yet hesitant feelings.

It's already quite impressive that you were able to come out and buy a ring to prepare for the proposal.

Can we blame Sato for this?

No, no matter what, Matsuda Jinpei was someone she genuinely liked back then.

Her father and the person she loved both passed away one after another.

This is something that can never be forgotten.

She still genuinely loves Wataru Takagi.

She too suffered from the guilt she felt towards Wataru Takagi, the lingering attachment to the past, and the growing conviction in her own unfortunate nature.

What Sato Miwako fears most right now is that Takagi Wataru will also die in front of her.

Yusuke Suzuki couldn't see any reason or necessity for him to intervene.

"I'm sorry," Takagi Wataru knelt down in front of Sato Miwako, feeling both heartache and guilt. "It was my carelessness."

"Then can you promise me?" Sato Miwako wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and made up her mind again, "Never, ever will you leave me, never, ever."

You must promise me!

Is this considered a confession?

Yusuke Suzuki's mind began to waver again.

It's done!

He spoke slowly, "By the way, Takagi, I think I saw you hide something in your pocket just now. Is it that important thing you were going to give to Officer Sato?"

Just then, the entire supervisory team from the First Investigation Division arrived.

"Takagi, what's wrong with Sato right now!?"

"Give us an update on the case's progress."

"That's right, you've done it again this time. How about treating me to dinner?"

"..."

A group of people instantly maxed out their skills in dealing with the quarantined crowd and directly tackled Takagi Wataru.

Miwako Sato wants to rescue Wataru Takagi, but she is being stopped by others.

As for why Suzuki Yusuke stopped helping at this point...

Can't you just not want to assault a police officer?

Well, the main problem is that Takagi Wataru chickened out again.

If he had dared to shout out his proposal back then, Suzuki Yusuke would definitely have helped.

But Takagi Wataru, even if you give him a chance, he's useless.

Shiratori Renzaburo, who had rushed over, breathed a sigh of relief.

That was close; Takagi Wataru almost got everything done in one go.

The follow-up was handled very quickly.

Shiratori Ninzaburo used the pretext of escorting criminals to take Sato Miwako away from this 'dangerous' situation.

Takagi Wataru himself was being repeatedly pulled and dragged by a group of police officers.

The people quickly dispersed.

The 300 fireworks weren't even finished yet.

Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri decided to find a nearby place to have a good talk.

After they left, Hattori Heiji also started having thoughts, glancing at Toyama Kazuha every now and then, while Toyama Kazuha would also glance at him every now and then.

Will today turn into a massive confession scene?

Yusuke Suzuki gave Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara a look, signaling them to take the three children away. With the excuse of taking a statement and his firm attitude, the three children obeyed without much resistance.

As for him personally, he cannot go too far away.

Just in case something unexpected happens, he will pretend to be Shinichi Kudo.

Under the Ferris wheel.

Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri stood facing each other.

Both of them had thought about what to say before, but at this moment, neither of them could speak first.

After a while, Shinichi Kudo took the initiative and said, "I... I'm actually leaving tonight, so you don't need to come and see me off."

"Oh..." Ran Mouri lowered her head, "Then... when will you be back next time?"

“I can’t give you a definite answer either,” Shinichi Kudo scratched his head and looked away habitually. “However, I will call you more often, even if I’m busy.”

"Then it's settled."

"Um," Shinichi Kudo's hands, gripping the timer, began to sweat, and his speech quickened, "And also, I...I..."

"Shinichi, you don't have to say it now."

Ran Mouri noticed his embarrassment and comforted him with a smile, "It's okay to talk about it next time, I... will always wait for you."

Just then, Shinichi Kudo's heart suddenly contracted violently.

Oh no, time's almost up.

Do we really have to wait until next time?

Shinichi Kudo, can't you be a little braver?!

She's been waiting for you!

Despite the excruciating pain, Shinichi Kudo grabbed Ran's shoulders, his expression serious. "Ran, I love you more than anyone else in the world."

"But now I have to leave."

After saying that, Shinichi Kudo ran away under the fireworks, his figure gradually disappearing.

Chapter 531 Conan Returns

Tsk tsk tsk, these young people nowadays.

Yusuke Suzuki, who was observing from the shadows, shook his head.

I thought I'd get to see the kiss of the century ahead of schedule.

Well, at least it's a significant step forward.

Yusuke Suzuki watched Ran Mouri leave, then chased after Shinichi Kudo.

Before long, he found Shinichi Kudo, who had turned back into Conan.

Just like back in the tropical park, her small body was huddled inside ill-fitting clothes.

"I thought it would only change back after I got home."

Seeing Suzuki Yusuke approach, Conan sighed, "Ran, she..."

“She’s gone back,” Yusuke Suzuki said, walking up to Conan. “Would you like me to take you home?”

"Of course, how can I go back alone looking like this?" Conan pouted. "Let's hurry up, it'll be bad if Ran follows us."

"I'm warning you to be more polite, or I'll send you straight to Xiaolan right now!"

Conan: "..."
