Crossover Anime: Not Joining the Service Club at the Start

"Yeah." Xiaolan nodded.

As a daughter, she naturally understood those details better than others.

"I will definitely continue to work hard."

Xiaolan probably meant these words for herself.

However, she seemed to have forgotten something.

Maori Kogoro: “?”

Fei Yingli: "?"

The two men cast questioning glances at them.

When Xiaolan noticed this, she immediately waved her hand.

"No, no, it's nothing."

But such a perfunctory reason was naturally not enough to convince the two of them so easily.

So they turned their inquisitive gazes aside.

That's Conan's spot.

"Uh"

Conan was startled by the sudden gaze and panicked for a moment.

However, he quickly came up with a suitable explanation.

"Well, Sister Xiaolan was just cheering herself on just now, since she has exams in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan quickly nodded in agreement.

"Right, that is it."

"Another exam is coming up." Kogoro Mouri believed it.

Of course, this is only on the surface.

However, I must say, my daughter is really not suited to lying.

Because it's just too easy to see through.

"Mmm." Seeing that this reason worked, Xiaolan quickly nodded.

“Then remember to get plenty of rest and don’t stay up too late,” Eri Kisaki replied in return.

Clearly, she had also seen through her daughter's lame excuse.

"Okay, I understand," Xiaolan replied with a smile.

In her heart, she thought: Phew, thank goodness I got away with it.

""

Why haven't I seen this scene in anime before?

Is this the legendary telepathic connection?

Wow, I've really learned something new.

Then, as if they had never mentioned the exam at all, they skipped the topic altogether.

"Alright, now that you've finally come back, I'll cook this time."

Looking towards the kitchen, Eri suddenly spoke up: "While we're at it, we can also let Seung-shik try my cooking and cleanse him of his travel dust."

""

That was a very hasty shift in topic.

But that's not the point.

The key point is that Eri Kisaki said she seems to be going to cook.

If he remembered correctly, Eri Kisaki's cooking skills

The expression on everyone's face right now is probably just like it—it's hard to put into words.

However, one's understanding cannot be expressed.

It's a bit tricky.

Fortunately, he was still able to refuse.

"Um, no need to trouble Sister Fei with the meal arrangements."

"Because I'm going back soon."

"Hmm? Are you going back so early? Won't you stay a little longer?" Eri Kisaki frowned and tried to persuade her to stay.

She also wanted Cheng Shi to try the skills she had honed over a year.

"Will it be enough time to go back after we finish eating?"

Cheng Shi shook his head: "It would be too late to go back then, and I still have homework to finish."

Although I only sat here for a short time, I felt it was enough for Cheng Shi, who was just here to make a brief appearance.

As for the plan to come back next time?

Let's talk about it another time.

Just make sure you don't have to cook for yourself.

Hearing his compelling reasons, Eri Kisaki couldn't force him to stay.

So he could only sigh with great regret.

"Well, it seems I'll have to wait until next time to let you try my cooking."

"Okay, sure." Cheng Shi nodded.

And in a place where they can't see it.

When Eri and her father, as well as Conan, heard that she had given up cooking, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, we escaped unscathed.

It has to be said that at this moment, the three of them really did look like a family.

At the same time, they also felt much more favorably toward this distant relative who had saved them from a meal.

"Ahem, Cheng Shi, you must tell me next time you come, and I'll take you to a restaurant."

Kogoro Mouri made a promise to him in advance.

For no other reason than that he didn't want to eat his wife's cooking from so many years ago again.

However, these words sounded rather harsh to Eri Kisaki.

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying my cooking is bad?"

Kogoro Mouri remained silent.

But judging from the slight twitching at the corner of his mouth, he really had something to say.

Cheng Shi felt a pang of sympathy seeing how hard he was trying to hold it in.

So, he spoke up without any sense of tact.

"Um, sis, it's getting late, I'll head out now."

Towards the end, Cheng Shi pointed somewhat embarrassedly to the door, indicating that he wanted to leave.

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki turned around and subconsciously asked, "Oh, do you need me to take you to the station?"

"No need, sis, I'll take the bus myself."

As for why it wasn't a taxi?

Well, I understand everything.

Then, before Eri could speak...

Cheng Shi continued, "Sister, your family hasn't gotten together in a long time, so take this opportunity to have a good get-together. Don't worry about me, I'm not a child anymore."

"See you later."

After saying that, Cheng Shi turned around, opened the door, and left.

A few seconds later, everyone could still see him running outside the window.

Watching his retreating figure, Kogoro Mouri pondered for a few seconds.

"Your younger brother is quite independent."

“Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have dared to come to Japan all by myself,” Eri Kisaki remarked.

What did his parents say?

"He didn't say anything, just told me to keep an eye on him when I have time."

"So what do you think of him?"

"He's a good kid, except he can be a little slow at times, and he's also very agile."
