The Detective Conan's Luck-Changer: Ran Begs for Mercy at the Start

"Keyan, you're drunk..."

Sitting next to him, Mina Watanabe couldn't help but tug at Katsuhiko Minagawa's sleeve.

They were all members of the tennis club, and it was at a party, after all.

Minagawa Katsuhiko reprimanded and gave orders in front of so many people.

No matter how you look at it, it's a bit too much.

"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to tell me what to do?!"

Minagawa Katsuhiko, on the other hand, looked furious.

Mina Watanabe, who had been yelled at, immediately burst into tears.

"Ku-yan, you know that's not what Mina meant."

"Is it necessary to talk like that?!"

Guan Guxiang couldn't help but speak up at this moment.

Now, Minagawa Katsuhiko seemed to sober up completely.

He showed no intention of apologizing or admitting his mistake, snorted, and walked towards the restroom with a cigarette in his hand.

Because of Minagawa Katsuhiko's sudden outburst of anger,

The party atmosphere suddenly turned sour.

Mina Watanabe gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, exchanged a glance with Karuichi Itake, and gestured for him to come to the backyard to talk.

Seeing the two leave, Kotani Kaori followed them with some concern.

“Keyan, he wasn’t like this before…”

"Mr. Itsuki, please turn Katsuhiko back to his former appearance."

As Mina Watanabe spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Sorry, I don't know how to do psychotherapy."

Izuki Karuta said calmly, "All I know is that Minagawa Katsuhiko's death is imminent."

In fact, Izuki Karuta had long seen that Minagawa Katsuhiko was a typical self-centered person.

He believed that everything should revolve around him and that everyone should try to please him.

Now I see that my two closest female friends have found new love interests.

Minagawa Katsuhiko was clearly feeling down. His personality was already not good to begin with, and on top of that, he had been drinking, so it was no wonder he was in a good mood.

Izuki Karuta then seized the opportunity to say, "I'm sure you've all figured it out by now."

"The closer he got to his death, the more unstable Minagawa Katsuhiko's emotions became, even to the point of hysteria."

"Even you two who like him are finding it hard to stand now."

"I can already foresee how bad Minagawa Katsuhiko's interpersonal relationships at school must be."

"I'm afraid quite a few people will be clapping and cheering after his death, right?"

As soon as this word comes out,

Both Watanabe Mina and Sekiya Kaori fell silent for a moment.

Because what Izuki Karuta said was absolutely right.

While Katsuhiko Minagawa is generally disliked, it's still within a tolerable range.

At least they are relatively polite to women.

Today, however, it's as if I've taken the wrong medicine.

He loudly berated Watanabe Mina, his childhood friend.

It's like he's gone completely mad.

"Mr. Izuki, please save Katsuhiko..."

Mina Watanabe immediately knelt down on both knees.

But a second before she knelt down

Izuki Karuta had already moved a step to the side.

I did not accept this kneeling.

"Ms. Watanabe, please don't try to play the victim with me."

"I'm open for business, and I clearly display the prices and collect money."

Tears were something Ichitake Karuta had seen countless times.

We are now immune to this kind of thing.

“Mina knelt down and begged you, but you still wouldn’t help.”

How can you be so cold-blooded?!

Guan Gu Xiang accused him with an indignant expression.

"I'm cold-blooded?"

Izuki Karuta laughed: "Is this how Miss Guan Gu usually goes shopping?"

"Can you get goods and services for free by shedding a few tears and uttering a few cold-blooded curses?"

"You have no idea what price I have to pay to help people avert disaster."

"Who gives them the right to call me cold-blooded?!"

"Besides, if you can save a life with money, isn't that a great deal?!"

Izuki Shizuta's voice carried an inherent authority, and coupled with her own justification, she rendered Guan Gu Xiang unable to lift her head.

"But...but we really don't have that much money..."

Guan Guxiang's voice was much weaker.

Just now during the party, Sekiya Kaori took a break to discuss it with Watanabe Mina.

Upon learning that simply inviting Itake Karuta to their home for a fortune-telling session would cost 50 yen,

Now, if we add disaster relief services, it will cost another million yen.

A total of 150 million yen, which is no small sum for the two college students.

The key is that the funds must be raised within three days.

They have no independent income and no savings, so how could they possibly come up with so much money?

"What if there isn't enough money?"

"It's not impossible to repay part of it with something else or a service."

Izuki Karuta didn't push him too far.

After all, he was still very eager for Minagawa Katsuhiko's tens of thousands of units of murderous aura.

Even without any reward, he would absorb the malevolent energy.

Asking Mina Watanabe for money was just a ploy to get some benefits in return.

Chapter 18 Yi Zhu: I'm Not the Bull Demon King

Upon hearing Izuki Karuda's words,

Mina Watanabe and Kaori Sekiya's expressions immediately became more complicated.

"If... if Mr. Yizhu allows it..."

"I can repay the debt with my body!"

Mina Watanabe bit her lip and stammered as she spoke.

As soon as this word comes out,

Guan Guxiang couldn't help but show a moved expression on her face.

Kagome Sekiya and Mina Watanabe both have a crush on Minagawa Katsuhiko.

Koya Kaori never expected that Watanabe Mina would sacrifice to such an extent for Minagawa Katsuhiko.

However, what neither of the women expected was...

"This...I'm afraid this isn't a good idea?"

Izuki Karuta looked at Watanabe Mina with a complicated expression. "I'm not interested in women who have boyfriends."

This is just a more euphemistic way of putting it.

After all, the social atmosphere in Japan is relatively open.

The kind of person who graduated high school without ever having been in a relationship or having any fun, and who would even be ridiculed by classmates.

Who knows how many times Watanabe Mina and Minagawa Katsuhiko have slept together?
