Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

It's no wonder he thinks that way.

As we all know, in this world of Detective Conan, besides some unscientific, or rather, Detective Conan laws, there also exists something called magic.

If that's the case, then the existence of ghosts isn't impossible.

Not to mention, this is the lair of the Mikasa Shinigami, so it's normal that it's heavily inhabited by Yin energy.

((((；))) The weak, pitiful, and helpless Luo Tian immediately trembled and hid, afraid of being grabbed by this ghost.

It's one thing to have your yang energy drained, but if you get captured and made into all sorts of ways, your life is over!

Little did he know that Ran Mouri had heard his exclamation.

"Huh? Whose kid is this, running around outside in the middle of the night?"

After fixing her hair, she quickly spotted Luo Tian hiding outside the iron gate.

The kind-hearted girl didn't think much of it and walked straight over.

She couldn't bear to see a little child running around outside; what if something happened?

"Oh no! Come here!"

The residential area was quiet at night, and Luo Tian naturally heard the approaching footsteps. He looked around, trying to find a place to hide.

But the streets were empty, there wasn't even a trash can, so unless you hid in someone's house, there really wasn't anywhere to hide.

The walls and gates of other people's houses are simply too high for him now, like a mountain that he cannot climb.

"Damn system! Think of something quick!"

[Ding! Target detected as a good person; system rejects task assignment!]

"Then there's nothing I can do!" I'm a transmigrator, after all, and I can't let down my seniors!

Thinking this, Luo Tian clenched his little fist, his handsome and cute face filled with determination.

Damn it, his mother-in-law! I'll risk it all!

"Haa—" With a low shout, Luo Tian used the skill—Beast Charge!

The pig charged forward and successfully hit the opponent! The effect was outstanding!

"Yeah!"

"Ok?"

The girl who was suddenly attacked let out a cry of surprise, while Luo Tian withdrew his hands in a somewhat confused manner.

Something's not right! Could this female ghost be Sadako? How can she feel so soft?!

Ugh! Why did this kid suddenly attack?!

Xiaolan was also puzzled, while gently rubbing the thigh area that had been attacked.

It's a little itchy, but there's also a strange sense of comfort about it.

Due to his height, his charge could only reach this point at most, and the weapon he used was precisely his cheat ability, which gave the innocent girl a unique feeling.

This feeling came quickly and went quickly, even causing the girl to feel a little regretful.

Because she wasn't very strong, coupled with Luo Tian's cute and handsome appearance, and the influence of the succubus aura, the kind little angel wasn't angry.

"Little friend, what's your name? Why are you still out so late?"

Squatting down to bring her line of sight to the little boy in front of her, Xiaolan asked softly.

She spoke at a steady pace and didn't make any sudden movements, which showed that she had a real talent for being a kindergarten teacher.

"I?"

At this moment, Luo Tian also recognized the girl in front of him, blinked, and used the cuteness skill he had just learned in the taxi.

I'm here to find someone!

The dirty little face paired with those innocent eyes instantly stirred a strange flutter in Xiaolan's heart, making her somewhat unable to control herself.

Of course, this isn't love. Neither Luo Tian's charm nor the girl's values ​​have become that twisted.

This feeling of excitement is generally referred to as—motherly love!

Chapter 3: Ran Mouri's Overflowing Maternal Love

Everyone says that the people of Mihua are simple and honest, and Luo Tian has personally experienced the meaning of this saying.

Can you believe that a sixteen-year-old girl could so easily bring a stranger home?

Even if this stranger is a cute little boy! Even if this little boy looks adorable! Even if this little boy's story sounds tragic...

Okay, Luo Tian has to admit that he did indeed describe his experience as far too tragic.

Living in the countryside, orphaned, penniless, and homeless, this little boy endured much hardship to reach Mika, only to find his last remaining relative.

To be fair, such experiences are truly heartbreaking and tear-jerking, easily evoking sympathy.

If someone else said that, Luo Tian would at least give them a few coins.

But if he had to admit it, he felt he hadn't lied.

After all, that's how the memory in my mind is!

So the problem isn't with him, it's with the damn system!

Upon hearing that Luo Tian had come looking for the Kudo family, Ran Mouri immediately felt it was her duty to take on the responsibility of caring for the child.

We need to get through tonight at least, and find Shinichi tomorrow before we talk about it!

Both emotionally and rationally, she could not bear to leave a lonely child to spend a night outside.

And so, she made the decision unilaterally, picked up Luo Tian and took him home without even asking for his opinion.

Normally, a kind and gentle little angel wouldn't do that.

But just now, she awakened a nature called maternal love!

Driven by this force, she forgot everything else and only wanted to take good care of the child!

Even on her way home, she was on high alert, fearing she might encounter some kind of scoundrel who would snatch her child away.

Fortunately, the girl's lucky streak prevented her from encountering any accidents along the way, and also allowed some people to escape unscathed.

Karate, capable of splitting rocks and cutting through wood, is not something an ordinary person can withstand.

……

"Oh—Miss Yoko is so adorable!"

Inside the Mouri Detective Agency, a middle-aged man with his legs propped up on the desk was drinking beer as usual while watching a recording of Yoko Okino's concert.

He was very satisfied with this leisurely life!

Aside from the marital relationship, the only thing that can be considered a worry is my own precious daughter.

Let me make this clear from the start: Kogoro Mouri is extremely annoyed with a certain high school detective!

Why are you playing detective games at such a young age, and why are you always stealing my business!

Stealing business is one thing, but not charging a fee is another!

What are you doing? Trying to disgust me?! (?)/

Adding to his frustration, Kogoro Mouri constantly hears his daughter complaining that someone abandoned him because of a case, which makes him even more annoyed with Shinichi Kudo.

I never give them a friendly look when we meet!

So much so that Ran Mouri didn't tell her father she was going to the amusement park today, for fear that he would get angry again.

However, when she held Luo Tian, ​​opened the door of the detective agency, and saw her father, who was as dejected as ever, she was still furious.

"Dad! You've made a mess of this place again!"

Seriously! This is a law firm! It's a place for entertaining guests and taking on work assignments, how can it always be a mess!

But every time she painstakingly cleans it, it turns out like this again in just two days.

o(--?) The girl is a little angry!

The drunken, good-for-nothing uncle didn't notice this. He casually greeted his daughter and continued watching TV with a cheerful smile.

"Really!"

Ran Mouri was also helpless about this, and gently placed Luo Tian on the sofa.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll collect the trash first."

As she spoke, she skillfully pulled a trash bag from under the coffee table and began cleaning up the empty beer cans and snack wrappers on the floor and desk.

Like a little housekeeper, she quickly cleaned up the office.

"Please wait a little longer."

Carrying the trash bag, she gently gave him another word of advice before heading downstairs.

[Ding! Target detected as a gambler, alcoholic, and LSP (Lifestyle of Deception). Scam him!]

[Mission issued: Trick Kogoro Mouri once, consequences are unlimited!]

Upon hearing the system's notification, Luo Tian turned his gaze to the other side and looked at Kogoro Mouri, who had his feet propped up on the desk.

How should I put it? The moment he saw this good-for-nothing uncle, he felt an aura of decadence wash over him.

That feeling is like being a parasite who has been living at home for ten years, never leaving the house and sponging off his parents.

Of course, Kogoro Mouri isn't a shut-in; he still goes out sometimes.

Sometimes I receive requests to investigate extramarital affairs and catch mistresses.

Sometimes it's going to an izakaya (Japanese pub) for drinks, to play pachinko, or to see the madam...

He has a wife but his private life is completely unrestrained; he has a daughter but his daughter still has to take care of him. It's not too much to blame such a person, is it?

Luo Tian pondered silently.

Although his moral bottom line is flexible, he still has principles when it comes to cheating people.

For example, he wouldn't betray a pure and kind girl like Ran Mouri.

He wouldn't cheat innocent bystanders, which aligns well with the requirements of the dog system.

However, he hadn't yet figured out a way to handle the new task, so he had to give up on it for the time being.

Just then, Ran Mouri returned after taking out the trash.

"Let's go upstairs, that's where my sister's house is!"

She picked up the little boy again and said with a smile, completely ignoring her father who was completely focused on the television screen.

They didn't even bother to explain Luo Tian's background to him.

"Oh"

Luo Tian nodded, behaving very obediently.

There was nothing we could do. It wasn't that our side was ineffective; it was simply that the enemy's firepower was too brutal. They routed us with just two shells.

As expected of someone who inherited Eri Kisaki's excellent genes, she already possesses such strength while still in high school.

He couldn't believe what this girl would be like when she grew up, and which bastard would end up with her!

No, since I've already come into this world, I should definitely benefit from it!

The problem is that my current child-like body might not be very convenient.

It's not a matter of being willing but unable; although his body has shrunk, his mind and strengths remain the same.

Especially their strengths, which would make even some adults feel ashamed.

He had already confirmed this when he was changing clothes at the amusement park.

Generally speaking, no one would date a cute little boy, right?

If such a person truly existed, Luo Tian would find them rather frightening.

This is the same reason why he likes little girls.

If I liked dating a little girl, what would that be if not perverted?!

Of course, if it's a legal loli like Ai Haibara, then that's a different story!
