The boy soldier next to the famous detective

In the end, Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri said goodbye. After all, the atmosphere would only become more and more awkward if the two young people who had just experienced the confession CG stood together. Both Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo were very shy, and they couldn't even look up at each other because they were too shy to do so, let alone have a proper conversation face to face.

Seeing the two separate, Jonah and Professor Agasa exchanged a glance, then each went to find the person they were responsible for and followed them.

"Sister Xiaolan, would you like some water?"

Following Ran Mouri, Jonah watched as her complexion gradually eased, blinked, and took a bottle of water from his backpack, handing it to Ran.

"Oh, Jonah, when did you arrive?"

"..."

Jonah didn't speak, but just stared at Ran with his eyes wide open, looking at her with an innocent, disappointed, and even slightly reproachful gaze, trying to awaken the concern of his kind and beautiful older sister Ran.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Jonah, Ran-neechan was just upset by Shinichi-nii, so I forgot to call you to come along!"

Clearly, Ran Mouri is a good girl. Faced with Jonah's intense gaze, she blushed, squatted down shyly, patted Jonah's head, and softly apologized, "When we get home, I'll make you a delicious cake to make up for it, okay?"

"it is good."

Jonah wasn't angry at all, just a little speechless. He nodded obediently, and his well-behaved appearance made Ran feel even more guilty. She could only hold Jonah's hand and walk towards the hotel with a smile, chatting as they went to ease the awkwardness in her heart.

Jonah noticed Ran's embarrassment. As a thoughtful and sensible child, Jonah knew he needed to take the initiative to help Ran ease her awkwardness.

"Ran-neechan, did Shinichi just confess his feelings to you?"

puff-

Ran Mouri, who was unscrewing her water bottle to take a sip to moisten her throat, spat out a mouthful of water upon hearing Jonah's words. Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and was facing an empty wall, so the water didn't hit Jonah's head.

"Ahem, Jonah, what are you saying?"

Staring at Jonah in shock, Ran Mouri awkwardly wiped the water droplets from her lips. Just as she was about to explain something, her eyes suddenly widened, and she spoke in a trembling voice as if she had thought of something.

"Jonah, did you see it all?"

"What do you see?"

"Yes, it was Shinichi who grabbed me and started talking to me."

"Yes, we saw it. It wasn't just me; Professor Agasa saw it too. We heard what you were saying because we weren't too far away."

"what!"

"It's true. Just like Shinichi said, he can't deduce feelings of liking girls, even if he were the real Sherlock Holmes..."

"Aaaaaah! Stop talking, stop talking, Jonah!"

Upon hearing Ran Mouri's surprised exclamation, Jonah initially thought that Ran Mouri didn't believe him and was about to say some of Shinichi Kudo's confession lines to prove that what he said was true. However, the next second, Ran Mouri hugged him tightly and covered his mouth with her hand.

"Ugh! Ugh!"

The super-young soldier who was fighting against the criminals experienced for the first time what it felt like to be unable to struggle. He could only raise his hand and frantically pat Ran Mouri's arm, hoping that Ran Mouri would stop squeezing her arms tightly because of excitement and shyness.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Jonah, I was so careless."

Sensing Jonah's struggle, Ran realized what she had done and quickly released her arms, patting Jonah's back with concern.

Then, a problem arose with this shot.

Feeling the hard touch from her palm, Ran Mouri's expression changed, complex and subtle, she didn't even have time to feel the cool shyness in her heart just now.

Anxiously crouching down, Ran Mouri leaned close to Jonah's ear, carefully observing their surroundings as she whispered rapidly, "Jonah, where did you get that knife on your back? Did you say you carried it through airport security?"

"No, Sister Xiaolan, I don't want to cause any trouble for anyone, so I left all my things at home when I went through airport security."

He shook his head. Jonah had been integrated into normal society for a long time, so naturally he wouldn't do something so lacking in common sense.

"Did you buy this knife here? When did you buy it? I didn't notice it."

"It was given to me by a kind person."

"...Jonah, you must be talking about a truly kind person, right?"

Looking at Jonah with some distress, Ran Mouri remained silent for a moment before giving up on asking Jonah about the origin of his weapons.

Since Jonah has been very well-behaved, let him go play if he feels safe carrying some weapons.

With mixed feelings, Ran Mouri pulled Jonah back to the restaurant. There they saw Kogoro Mouri, who, despite the language barrier, had successfully created a sensation in the restaurant through his judo performance. Surrounded by Diana and her friends, he happily drank red wine and talked about the crime-solving records he had set as "Sleeping Kogoro."

"My dad is really something, he can get himself drunk anywhere."

Looking at Kogoro Mouri with some distress, Ran Mouri, though a little embarrassed, still went over and helped him back to his chair. Then, without saying a word, she took the wine glass from his hand and replaced it with a glass of water so he could sober up a bit.

Jonah glanced at Kogoro Mouri and, seeing that everything seemed alright, went to his seat and ordered a cake and juice set meal from the waiter. After chasing Shinichi Kudo outside for so long, he was getting a little hungry.

After Kogoro Mouri had calmed down a bit, Ran Mouri took him and Jonah back to their hotel room. After tossing Kogoro onto the bed, Ran fanned her face, feeling a little sticky from the sweat.

"Jonah, do you want to take a bath with Ran-neechan?"

Ran took out a change of clothes from her suitcase and eagerly invited Jonah to join her. Since Jonah came to her house, she had only helped him wash his hair once, and they had never tried taking a bath together before.

Ran Mouri couldn't wait to see Jonah get soaked like a doll and then be cleaned up by herself.

"I don't want to wash yet, Ran-neechan, you can wash yourself. I'm going to go play with Conan and Dr. Agasa. Remember to lock the door from the inside."

Shaking his head, Jonah decisively refused Ran Mouri's invitation. He couldn't stand taking more than 3 minutes to shower unless absolutely necessary, and he couldn't understand Ran Mouri taking half an hour to shower.

"Alright then, by the way, ask Dr. Agasa and Conan if they've eaten properly."

"Yes, I know."
