I'm in Detective Conan, but it's a chaotic battlefield.

But if I stay here and don't move, I feel like my sister will get suspicious. Besides, I don't know when these two will leave. I can't just stand here forever, can I?

Shiho Miyano fell into deep thought.

Pretending not to see it when you walk over won't work either.

Intentionally ignoring your boyfriend's behavior of being with other women could arouse his suspicion.

After all, the romantic relationship between the two was actually something she forcibly implanted into Goro Daimon's mind using hypnotic methods while he was experiencing memory problems.

The medicine she fed to Goro Daimon every day actually included a component designed to enhance the hypnotic effect and make him more dependent on her.

There was absolutely no affection between them.

The reason Shiho Miyano did this was to facilitate data collection while keeping it hidden from the organization.

However, hypnosis is not a panacea. The second guinea pig has now learned to deceive itself, which is a sign that it is gradually getting out of control.

I don't know how long the hypnotic effect will last, but I hope it will last until the drug is developed.

Shiho Miyano thought for a moment and said, "Sis, you should go back first. I think I left my phone where I drew the fortune slip earlier."

"Did you forget your phone? I'll go with you," Mingmei said.

Shiho Miyano shook her head: "I can go by myself. Didn't we say we wanted to have a late-night snack? Sis, why don't you go buy it for me? I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it if it gets any later. Let's meet at the hotel later."

She pushed her sister forward, then turned and walked toward the temple behind her.

Shiho Miyano pretended to walk towards the shrine, but actually turned around and hid behind the wall of the side hall. She only breathed a sigh of relief after she was sure that her sister's figure was completely out of sight.

She then looked at Chen Nuo and Xiao Lan not far away, hesitating whether to wait here until they left before going down the mountain.

But then she thought, she's officially his girlfriend now.

Why are you hiding?

Besides, this guy suddenly showed up and ruined her date with her sister, so he should be punished properly.

Thinking of this, Shiho Miyano gathered her hair and straightened her yukata.

She walked towards Chen Nuo with the gait of an empress.

Chapter 11 Shiho Miyano's Yukata is a Battleground

Chen Nuo didn't know why, but he blurted out, "Let's go to Qiben Island together when we have time."

Perhaps he was influenced by Xiaolan's gentle and kind personality?

After all, unlike watching anime in my previous life, the Ran in front of me is a living, breathing person.

Although they had only known each other for a few days.

But Xiaolan's gentle and sunny personality had already left a deep impression on Chen Nuo.

Her soft skin, her reassuring smile, and her incredible strength to easily shatter walls...

These things actually happened before his eyes, and he even experienced them firsthand.

So when Chen Nuo saw Xiao Lan's flustered and somewhat humble appearance after accidentally saying the wrong thing, she was not only cute, but also felt a strong urge to protect her from the bottom of his heart.

It's like the instinctive protectiveness people feel when they see a cute kitten being abused.

However, it seems that saying such things at this moment has only made Xiaolan more at a loss.

“Um… I meant going along as Goro Daimon,” Chen Nuo added. “You might not believe it, but I’m really not Shinichi Kudo.”

These words temporarily calmed Xiaolan's panic.

She lowered her head, her bangs falling down to cover her expression, but she seemed to be thinking about the problem very seriously.

After a while.

"I understand." Ran looked at the small hand resting on her thigh in her yukata. "I've figured out these past few days that you're not Shinichi."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After persistent efforts, the matter was finally clarified.

That way she probably won't bother me anymore, right?

He can now focus his attention on improving his strength and dealing with Sherry and the Black Organization.

He was about to say a few words of comfort to Ran when she interrupted him, saying, "Shinichi has already run away because of my stubbornness."

Xiaolan looked up, her face full of self-reproach.

Chen Nuo paused for a moment, sensing that something was off about what she was saying.

Xiao Lan looked into his eyes and said softly, "I've thought about it carefully these past few days, and I really am not qualified to be his childhood sweetheart."

Before, I would get impatient every time he talked about the case, and I often bullied him with violence. Looking back now, maybe that's when he started to drift away from me?

I used to think that, given the unspoken understanding between childhood sweethearts, some things didn't need to be made so obvious.

But this must be wrong, right?

My parents were childhood sweethearts, but they're still separated. Maybe the influences I had growing up were wrong. But I've realized where the problem lies now.

So, can I have another chance?

This long monologue completely stunned Chen Nuo!

Your direction of understanding seems a bit off, Ran-chan.

He was about to explain it again.

Ran suddenly stood up, extended her hand, and said in a very formal manner, "Let's get to know each other again. Hello, my name is Ran Mouri."

"No... let me explain, I don't think you still understand..."

"I wasn't talking to Shinichi Kudo, I was talking to Goro Daimon... Just being ordinary friends is fine." Ran stubbornly met his gaze. "Nice to meet you, my name is Ran Mouri."

"I think... you still have some misunderstandings."

Ran's eyes were red, and her lips were almost bleeding from being bitten, but she still stubbornly raised her face, refusing to let the tears fall: "It's nice to meet you. My name is Ran Mouri."

Chen Nuo was speechless.

How did I suddenly get into this state?

Although Ran said she wanted to be just friends, the determination in her eyes clearly showed that she wanted to start as friends and win back "Shinichi Kudo".

The fair, jade-like hand suspended in mid-air resembled a contract.

If you grasp it at this moment, there will be less and less room for explanation later.

However, the atmosphere had already been built up to this point.

Looking at the girl's red eyes, Chen Nuo couldn't bring himself to cruelly refuse her request.

Just agree to her first, and then find another opportunity to explain things clearly later. As time goes by, she might figure it out herself.

If all else fails...

Let's just give her the future she wants.

If a time traveler doesn't even have this much courage, what kind of time traveler are they?

Thinking of this, Chen Nuo suddenly felt a surge of heroic spirit.

Then he grabbed Xiaolan's soft little hand: "It's nice to meet you, my name is... Chen Nuo."

Chen Nuo didn't know why he told her his real name.

Perhaps he doesn't yet feel a strong sense of identity as Goro Daimon, and still considers himself a native Chinese.

Faced with this ceremony that resembles signing a contract.

He felt that using the name Goro Daimon was somewhat disrespectful to Ran.

However, explaining it later might be a bit troublesome.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Nuo decided that it would be better to just say it was an alias, since people in the Conan world always use aliases and change their identities.

For example, Dai Moroboshi, Usagi Okiya, Tooru Amuro, Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, etc...

It seems like people here can just slap their heads and change their name, and then they can start a new life with a different identity.

After making up his mind, Chen Nuo waited for Xiao Lan to ask her questions.

"It's nice to meet you. My name is Shiho Miyano." An out-of-place voice interrupted.

Ok?

Shiho Miyano?

Chen Nuo turned around and saw that Shiho Miyano, dressed in a black yukata, was squatting behind him at some point.

She was carrying wooden clogs, her bare feet on the edge of the clogs, and she was looking at him with a smile.

And at some point, Shiho Miyano also placed her hand on his and Ran's clasped hands.

The three people's hands were stacked together.

It's very similar to the scene of team members encouraging each other before a sports competition begins.

"You... why are you here?" Chen Nuo felt a little guilty because he had recently sent Shiho Miyano photos of her practicing kendo.

"Of course I came to see you. Practicing swordsmanship must be tough, right?" Shiho Miyano smiled, but there wasn't a trace of goodwill in her icy blue eyes.

Chen Nuo wanted to let go of her hand.

But Shiho Miyano held his hand down tightly, seemingly trying to preserve the state of the crime scene.

Shirley's little hands are soft and cool to the touch, and feel very nice.

The hand he was holding in his palm was burning hot, but also soft.

If anyone were to pass by at this moment, they would surely envy Chen Nuo for being able to get together with two beautiful girls.

However, Chen Nuo was not in the mood to appreciate this beauty at the moment.

Because he knew that if things continued to develop this way, the situation might not be good.

"Well... a few days ago, someone went to the dojo to cause trouble, and since Xiaolan's mother happens to be a lawyer, I wanted to ask her to help me handle this matter. That's why we're here today to meet," Chen Nuo explained cautiously.

"Then why did you lie to me?" Shiho Miyano seemed to have suffered a great blow.
