In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

..........

Chapter Twenty-Four: Xiaolan: Why are you calling me "wife" again!

Talk about it.

As a host.

This was Xia Ye's first time visiting the dojo that belonged to him.

Unlike most modern karate dojos.

The martial arts hall in front of us has a distinctly ancient feel.

It is an exquisite and solemn Japanese-style building.

The plaque above the dojo bears two square Chinese characters:

【One Heart】

Haven't entered yet.

Natsume and Yukiko then heard the continuous shouts coming from the dojo.

Pushing open the door, the two entered the dojo.

A slender and graceful figure could be seen repeatedly punching and kicking in the center of the dojo.

Her white martial arts uniform made her look heroic and spirited.

She looked like she had been practicing for a long time; her face was slightly flushed, and her breathing was a little rapid.

"Xia Ye?"

Xiaolan stopped practicing when she heard the door open.

She looked at the two people in front of her who should have had no connection whatsoever, and exclaimed in surprise:

"And Aunt Yukiko?"

"Call me 'older sister'!" Yukiko said, feigning anger with a stern face.

"It's been years, Xiaolan, have you forgotten how to call me?"

"But my mother..."

Xiaolan really wanted to say, "If I call you 'sister,' then you'll have to call me 'Mom' or 'Auntie.'"

"It's alright, we can each do our own thing!"

Yukiko said nonchalantly, "Of course, if Eri wants me to call her 'Auntie,' that's fine too!"

"Forget it then!"

Ran quickly and sweetly called out, "Yukiko-neechan!"

"This is right!"

Yukiko smiled radiantly.

Just like how being called "sister" by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl makes you look a few years younger.

"Yukiko-neechan, why did you suddenly come back to Japan?"

Xiaolan already had some guesses in her mind, but she still asked calmly:

"Does Shinichi know you're back?"

Shinichi doesn't know yet~

Yukiko watched Ran's performance and sighed inwardly:

Incredible!

Xiao Lan, such a pure and lovely girl, can act now!

Even though she already guessed that I had a diary, she still subtly probed me with her words. No wonder she's Eri's daughter!

"I came to see you shortly after I got off the plane!"

"So that's it."

Ran's eyes flashed with surprise. She hadn't expected Yukiko to be so direct!

"What does Yukiko-neechan want with me?"

"Just came to see you and chat a bit."

Yukiko reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair, damp with sweat and clinging to Ran's cheek, asking with concern:

"Are you tired from practicing?"

"Not tired!"

Xiaolan clenched her fist with great energy.

"In this dojo, I feel my strength is increasing very quickly when I practice, and I don't feel tired because it's effective!"

"She needs to rest too!" Xia Ye glanced at Xiao Lan's body and said seriously:

"Your shoulder muscles are sore and numb, and you have a slight strain in your vastus lateralis. Although you seem fine now, these minor issues will accumulate and eventually affect your performance!"

"what?"

Xiao Lan stretched her shoulders.

Sure enough, a slight discordance was found.

You can feel a little pain when you gently press the muscles on the outside of your thigh.

"Xia Ye, how did you know?"

"I actually know a tiny bit of medical skills~" Xia Ye said modestly.

"Medical skills?"

When did Xia Ye learn medical skills?

Moreover, it's a miraculous medical technique that allows one to know another person's physical condition with just a glance.

and many more!

Ran and Yukiko suddenly remembered.

Today is Monday!

Xia Ye's system assigns him a new identity every Monday.

It seems his new identity is that of a doctor?

"Okay, Xiaolan, come here~"

Xia Ye waved.

After Xiaolan obediently came to his side, he suddenly made his move.

Xiao Lan truly deserves to be called a genius in martial arts.

She was even able to react and instinctively raise her hand to block.

However, Xia Ye gently grabbed her small hand in his palm, and with his other hand, he pointed at her shoulder.

Xiaolan felt a warm current swirling around her shoulders, and soon, the slight discomfort in her shoulders disappeared!

"Next up are the thighs~"

Xiao Lan lowered her head, her face blushing.

Although it's treatment and shouldn't be avoided, I still feel a little shy about letting boys touch my thighs.

However, Xia Ye was not asking for her opinion.

Before Xiaolan could speak.

His fingers were already touching her long, firm thighs.

The bouncy, springy feel transmitted through her fingertips made Xia Ye smile slightly.

No wonder she's a girl who practices martial arts; her thighs are definitely different from those of ordinary girls!

After a while.

Xiaolan pressed the spot again.

To my surprise, that slight pain had completely disappeared!

"so amazing!"

"It's just a minor discomfort, not even an injury~"

The fact that there's been no activity regarding the identity and mission of the Crane Needle indicates that this doesn't even count as healing or saving lives.

Xia Ye glanced at the time and said with a smile:

"Xiao Lan, you need to rest."

"It's lunchtime, shall we go out and grab some food?"

"Xiao Lan, can you recommend some good food options on the shopping street?"

Lunch~

Xiaolan thought for a moment, then smiled slightly on her pretty face:

"I'd like to cook some food for you and Yukiko-neechan this noon."

"But I can only cook simple home-style dishes, so please don't look down on me!"

"How come~"

"I love home-cooked meals the most!"

If it were Eri Kisaki who said that, Natsume would definitely turn around and leave.

However, it's a different story when it's Xiaolan; her cooking skills are quite high.

"If Eri said that, I would definitely turn around and run away. As for Ran, of course I would look forward to you making delicious food!"

Yukiko bluntly spoke out what Natsume was thinking, not only insulting her best friend and rival Eri Kisaki, but also praising Ran, perfectly capturing the essence of putting one down and praising the other.

"......"

Xiaolan had nothing to say.

My mom's cooking is absolutely terrifying, like it came straight from hell.

Yukiko was tricked into eating there once and almost died, so she has the right to say this...

.......

Maori Detective Agency.

Xia Ye looked around, and everything she saw felt familiar.

Ran and Yukiko exchanged a glance.

They could all see a hint of nostalgia in Xia Ye's eyes.

What is he missing?

What were your feelings when you read the comic back then?

Where is Mr. Mori?

Xia Ye looked around but couldn't find Kogoro Mouri.

"Dad went out to investigate a case~"

Xiaolan walked into the kitchen carrying the groceries she had just bought from a nearby store, and turned back to say:

"He probably won't be back by noon today."

"Please have a seat, I'll start cooking right away."

"Xiao Lan is really virtuous!"

"I wonder which man will benefit from this?"
