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

"I learned a lot of new knowledge from Xiaolan and Ye last night."

Although Ikenami Shizuka had experienced adventures in the Mind Illusion Realm, she was still a novice in terms of adventure experience.

Last night, with guidance from the two veterans, Xiaolan and Heye, I learned a lot about combat experience in the illusion realm, as well as knowledge about the weaknesses of some common monsters. I grew a lot overnight and gained a lot.

Of course, Ikeba Shizuka also witnessed Ran and Ye's heroic performance in the mind illusion.

Also, Ran and Kazuha are clearly still a bit chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), and they like to shout out somewhat embarrassing attack moves before launching them:

What surging tides, what bloodthirsty fangs, what fiery breath, what twin blessings...

"..."

Both Ran and Kazuha blushed with embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, all those shameful words and actions were seen and remembered by Ikeba Shizuka.

However, Shizuka Ikenami seemed to be in a good mood.

Xiao Lan also vaguely recalled that Ikeba Shizuka really enjoyed the adventure.

Furthermore, given Hattori Heizo's deliberate arrangement last night, it became clear that the Hattori family was intentionally currying favor with Itake Karuta.

The slight sense of guilt she felt towards Hattori Heiji gradually dissipated.

Do you have any plans for today?

Izuki Karuta took the initiative to start a conversation, and had already noticed that Ran and Kazuha, especially Kazuha, were still a little uncomfortable.

Ikeba Shizuka spoke first: "Whatever the activity, I'm taking a break today."

This is also a consequence of going a bit too far.

While in the gymnasium, Shizuka Ikenami experienced two illusory adventures.

Last night, the hero team entered a fantasy setting again and engaged in a high-intensity battle against a fierce and dangerous demon king.

After all this, Ikeba Shizuka is struggling to recover, both mentally and physically.

Kazuha raised her hand shyly, "I know a place where Aunt Jinghua can go too..."

Xiaolan also remembered and chimed in, "Is it a milk hot spring? That would be a great place to relax."

Ikenami Shizuka shook her head repeatedly, "Hot springs sound nice, but... let's skip it this time."

As she spoke, Ikenami Shizuka glanced at Itake Karuta, seemingly unintentionally.

Originally, Ikenami Shizuka had overestimated her own strength, but last night she realized that she had underestimated Itake Karuta's great abilities.

Izuki Karita laughed and said, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just soaking in a hot spring."

"Besides, Heiji and Conan will definitely go along too."

"I'll definitely be in the same pool as them then."

With Izuki Karuta's assurance and invitation, Ikenami Shizuka felt relieved.

Xiao Lan joked, "I heard that the hot spring has special effects, such as making your figure better."

"Xiao Lan~!" Hongye scolded playfully, knowing full well that her complaint about her figure from last night had been remembered.

When the four of them had almost finished their breakfast.

Conan and Heiji Hattori came out of their room and went to the kitchen to each get a slightly cold breakfast.

The two, usually as close as brothers, one big and one small, were having breakfast today, one head tilted to the left and the other to the right, seemingly avoiding eye contact.

This unusual behavior is quite obvious.

However, none of the three women bothered to ask.

Only Izuki Karuta knew the details of what happened in Hattori Heiji's room last night.

Specifically, it only means understanding the first part.

About an hour after returning to his room last night, Hattori Heiji woke up, his effects of the alcohol wearing off and not wearing much clothing.

But he wasn't completely sober yet, and seeing Conan sleeping in the same room stirred his thoughts again, and he started kissing and hugging him.

Izuki Qingtian quickly withdrew her divine sense to avoid contaminating her eyes.

So it's unclear what happened next.

However, judging from Conan's normal walking posture, this detective duo probably hasn't reached the final step yet.

When Conan and Heiji Hattori finished breakfast and came to the living room,

Izuki Karita was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

On the left sat Shizuka Ikenami, and on the right sat Kazuha, while Ran was helping to peel fruit.

Surrounded by beautiful women on both sides and served by them, Conan and Heiji Hattori were truly envious and jealous.

But then they both remembered what had happened the night before, and for a moment, their jealousy was somewhat dispelled.

When they heard that they were going to a hot spring, Heiji Hattori and Conan both said without hesitation that they wanted to go along.

"Let's save the hot spring experience for noon."

As they were leaving, Shizuka Ikenami suggested, "Let me show Mr. Itake and Ran around Osaka this morning."

This suggestion surprised Xiaolan and He Ye somewhat.

Just now, Shizuka Ikenami was thinking of quickly soaking in the hot spring and resting for a while.

However, recalling Izuki Karuta's methods, she guessed that Ikenami Shizuka had recovered some of her strength after being soothed by that magical hot current.

With Shizuka Ikenami as their driver, they traveled to various tourist attractions in Osaka in Hattori's mid-size SUV.

The first place we visited was Tsutenkaku Tower in Osaka. Similar to the Toto Tower, it offers a fantastic view overlooking the entire city.

Afterwards, we visited the castle tower (tenshukaku) located in the center of Osaka Castle.

The castle tower is an old, traditional wooden building that can be visited with an entrance fee. The paths along the tower are lined with cherry blossom trees and autumn leaves.

Today is a slightly cool early spring day. Red leaves and pink cherry blossoms are scattered on the path, making a stroll through it quite charming.

Only Izuki Karuta, Ikenami Shizuka, Ran, and Kazuha can appreciate such a beautiful view.

As for Conan and Heiji, they were drawn to a group of tourists talking about a treasure hunt at the entrance of the castle tower.

Izuki Karuta then strolled with the three beauties amidst the beautiful scenery, bringing a camera along to take many beautiful photos, including solo shots, couple shots, and group shots.

They then sat on a bench for tourists to rest for quite a while.

Besides appreciating this leisurely, tranquil scenery,

Incidentally, help Ikeba Shizuka accelerate blood circulation in her body to aid her recovery.

This resulted in half an hour later,

When Hattori Heiji and Conan saw that the others hadn't come out yet, they couldn't help but run in to look for them.

Then I saw a similar situation in the living room again, just like this morning:

Izuki Karuta sat on a bench, with Ikenami Shizuka on her left and Koran on her right.

Kazuha was behind Ikenami Shizuka, helping to massage her shoulders and back.

What made Hattori Heiji's blood pressure rise again was that Itake Karuta's hand actually landed on Ikenami Shizuka's waist!

“Izuki Karuta, you…”

Just as Hattori Heiji was about to speak, he was met with a cold glare from Ikenami Shizuka, her eyes sharp and piercing.

Having been taught a lesson by such frightening gazes countless times since childhood, Hattori Heiji quickly shut his mouth.

Izuki Karuta asked with a mischievous grin, "Heiji, Conan, you two are hanging out together again?"

"When I saw you two looking like that this morning, I thought you had a fight."

"Could it be that he got drunk and got into a fight last night?"

Chapter 230 Let's soak in the milk hot spring together

"Conan and I are such good friends, how... how could we be fighting?"

Hattori Heiji panicked for a moment, and his gaze darted away.

My brain was spinning wildly: Why would Izuki Shigeta suddenly ask such a thing?!

Kazuha frowned slightly: "Heiji, what are you feeling guilty about? You didn't actually bully Conan, did you?"

After all these years of being childhood friends, Kazuha immediately noticed Hattori Heiji's panic, and it wasn't just ordinary panic.

I'm afraid Hattori Heiji went a bit too far last night.

Could it be that he got drunk and beat up Conan?

Kazuha waved, "Conan, come here, let your older sister take a look."

Heiji Hattori shook his head repeatedly and hugged Conan tightly. "No, really no, Conan and I are very close!"

As he spoke, he kept giving Conan meaningful glances.

Even Ran noticed something was off and turned her attention to Conan.
