Fujimaru Ritsuka comforted her:

"Don't worry, the police have already surrounded them, they'll be fine."

However, as soon as she said this, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

It seems like I've set a goal for myself.

So they stopped and watched from a distance, quietly observing how the case would unfold.

Whether it was unexpected or not, the accident happened.

Three robbers carrying a sack of banknotes walked out of the bank with a hostage, then brazenly got into a police car and prepared to drive away.

No, is it really possible to escape like this?

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka thought it was a bit outrageous, the more important issue at the moment was that the other party was driving a police car towards them!

"senior!"

Mashu called her name, and although she didn't say anything more, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who already understood Mashu's meaning, naturally understood what Mashu meant.

"Let me do it."

Without the slightest hesitation, after uttering those words, she swiftly pointed to the police car driven by the robbers speeding towards them, and then, magic erupted from her fingertips—

Gandr!

A yin energy bullet accurately hit the driver in the cab. Although it was not powerful enough to kill, the strong curse effect made the driver instantly unconscious. As a result, the out-of-control car veered off the road and crashed into a fire hydrant on the side of the road.

The unexpected situation stunned everyone, but the police quickly recovered and surrounded the wrecked police car again. This time, they successfully rescued the hostage and handcuffed the other unconscious robbers, putting them in the police car and bringing the case to a satisfactory conclusion.

Seeing this final scene, Mashu finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka beside her, and smiled sincerely:

"That's great! We didn't let the prisoner escape, and we successfully rescued the hostages. We really owe it all to you, senior!"

Well, it's alright.

Seeing Mashu's happy expression, she smiled as well and said:

"In short, welcome to Beika Town!"

"Thank you."

Mashu subconsciously thanked her, then tilted her head slightly, somewhat puzzled, and said:

"Why do you say that? Is there any special significance to it?"

"Ha ha!"

This time, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't offer an explanation immediately, but simply smiled and said:

"Let's keep going anyway."

Chapter 204. Death Has Its Own Way of Making an Appearance.

204.

2023-12-29

Despite experiencing some minor setbacks on their journey, they still managed to arrive at a large supermarket without incident.

This time, while shopping at the supermarket to buy daily necessities for Mashu, after pushing the shopping cart and buying almost everything she could think of, Mashu looked at the food section not far away and said:

"Senior, I'd like to buy some more meat and vegetables, as well as some seasonings."

Although the kitchen is fully equipped, there are no fresh vegetables or meats in the house because no one has cooked before. The refrigerator is filled with drinks and pre-cooked foods that only need to be heated.

Normally, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Moriarty usually eat out or order takeout.

Mashu noticed this situation as soon as she arrived. She originally wanted to use the ingredients at home to cook a simple meal for Fujimaru Ritsuka, but when she entered the kitchen, she found that there was nothing there. So she went out to a nearby convenience store to buy some ingredients and seasonings before she could serve Fujimaru Ritsuka a hot meal that had just woken up.

"I'll cook for everyone from now on."

Mashu enthusiastically suggested.

"Although my cooking skills are not as good as Mr. Emiya's, I will try my best to satisfy everyone's taste preferences."

"Great!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka readily agreed to Mashu's suggestion, and she smiled:

"I love any food that Mashu makes!"

Hearing her say that, Mashu couldn't hide the happy smile on her face, and responded somewhat shyly:

"Thank you, senior. I will continue to work hard."

So they turned around and went into the food section to continue shopping. Mashu skillfully selected fresh vegetables without asking Fujimaru Ritsuka any questions, because she knew what her senior liked and disliked to eat.

Fujimaru Ritsuka pushed the shopping cart beside her, occasionally helping out, but mostly just quietly admiring Mashu's focused profile, a slight smile unconsciously appearing on her face.

"Senior, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

At that moment, Mashu noticed her gaze, reached out and touched her cheek, and asked with some confusion.

"nothing."

She shook her head, smiled, and sighed:

"I just thought that Mashu would definitely be a good wife."

"babble--!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's sudden remark caused Mash to gasp in surprise, quickly turning her head to cover her flushed cheeks with her hair. She spoke with a mixture of shyness and enthusiasm:

"I will continue to work hard!"

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke the atmosphere between the two from the other end of the supermarket not far away. Although they couldn't hear the details of the sound clearly from their position, they could still sense the fear in it.

They looked in the direction of the sound, but their view was blocked by the shelves, so they couldn't see clearly.

"What happened over there?"

The two exchanged a glance and decided to go check out the situation.

So they walked toward the noisy area, but before they could get close, a man who was wrapped up rather tightly appeared from around the corner and walked toward them, seemingly moving away from the noisy place.

Just as the man was about to pass them, another short figure appeared around the corner ahead, looking hurried.

Upon seeing the other person, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but show a surprised expression, because the short figure was none other than Conan, the Grim Reaper elementary school student she knew very well.

"Conan?"

"Ritsuka-neechan?!"

Upon seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka, Conan was also quite surprised, but this was clearly not the time to ponder why she was there or who the strange girl beside her was.

Thinking of Fujimaru Ritsuka's formidable skills, Conan immediately pointed to the man who had already passed by them and shouted:

"Grab him! He's a murderer!"

The moment Conan finished speaking, the person who had been walking quickly suddenly started running, and Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly turned around to grab them.

However, Mash beside her was faster than she was.

Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around, Mashu rushed out and arrived beside the criminal with astonishing speed, almost like teleportation, easily knocking him to the ground with a single blow.

So fast

Conan, who had witnessed everything, was stunned again. Wasn't that girl just next to Ritsuka? How did she suddenly appear next to the culprit and knock him down?

And it seems she's even stronger than Ritsuka.

Ran, Ritsuka, Ai Haibara, and now this girl. Are girls these days all this amazing?

Although Mashu knocked him to the ground, he struggled to continue his escape. At that moment, Ran Mouri and Kogoro Mouri suddenly appeared from the side and blocked his way.

"You idiot, where do you think you're going?!"

Taking advantage of his opponent's unsteadiness, Kogoro Mouri immediately rushed forward and executed an over-the-shoulder throw, completely subduing his opponent and ending the farce.

At that moment, Ran Mouri also noticed Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu, and exclaimed with delight:

"Ritsuka, what are you doing here? And who is this person next to you??"

Fujimaru Ritsuka introduced with a smile:

“Her name is Mashu, and she is my family.”

Mashu hadn't expected Fujimaru Ritsuka to introduce her like that, and then said somewhat shyly:

"Hello, my name is Mash Kyrielight, nice to meet you."

Having previously synchronized her memories with Boda, she was familiar with the three people in front of her and knew that they were acquaintances of Fujimaru Ritsuka in this world.

Ran Mouri laughed:

"Nice to meet you. My name is Ran Mouri, you can just call me Ran. The person on the ground restraining the prisoner is my father, Kogoro Mouri, and..."

"My name is Conan, Edogawa Conan!"

Conan walked over and spoke first, pretending to be an innocent child.

Then, he asked with some curiosity:

"Speaking of which, isn't Butler James here today?"

No, he is there, only in spirit form.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Yes, he's not here today."

After getting to know each other, Ran Mouri called the police, and then, out of curiosity, Ritsuka Fujimaru told them the details.

In short, the perpetrator killed the victim when she walked into a blind spot of the supermarket's surveillance cameras, and then tried to escape the scene unnoticed. However, Conan noticed something amiss and, after confirming the identity of the murderer, immediately began to pursue him.

They had no idea why the other party killed the victim.

As for why they came here, it's because Ran Mouri unexpectedly won a shopping card for this supermarket in a lottery at a convenience store on the street.

What can Fujimaru Ritsuka say about this? It's a classic, absolutely classic.

"Hey Mori, what about Ritsuka?"
