Detective Conan: Developing a younger version of Ran Eri, and the stunning Yukiko.

Shiraishihara was telling the truth; he really didn't intend to do anything to Kudo Yukiko, but he also didn't want to wrong himself, and he couldn't let himself get sick from holding it in.

"..." Yukiko tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart... Her hands were slender and delicate, as if they could be held in one hand...

……

When it was time for dinner, Yukiko disguised herself as Shinichi Kudo again, changed into a yukata, and went to the hotel restaurant with Shiraishihara.

Ran and Sonoko are already there.

The garden waved to them: "You've come at the perfect time! The food has just been served. Come sit down and eat with us."

Ran looked at Shiraishihara with a beaming smile: "Shiraishi-kun, what do you think? The natural hot springs here are amazing, aren't they!"

"Yes, it's really great!" Shiraishi gave a thumbs up, thinking to himself that the hot spring was nice, and the aunt was just as excellent! He put his arm around Kudo Yukiko's shoulder, "Right, Kudo-kun?"

Yukiko Kudo was both ashamed and angry; she had never suffered such a loss in her life.

During dinner, Shiraishihara kept his promise and worked with Kudo Yukiko to cheer Ran up.

Unfortunately, Xiaolan wasn't interested in it at all; in fact, she found it rather annoying.

This left Yukiko Kudo feeling quite frustrated and helpless.

During the meal, the four met a woman named Eri Akechi, a female writer who was out researching and had been staying at the hotel for several days.

Eri Akechi left a fairly good impression on Shiraishihara, however, he remembered that this female writer was a murderer.

That evening, back in his room, Shiraishihara sat on the cushion and played mobile games as usual.

"Shiraishihara, I'm asking you, did you do anything to Ran?" Kudo Yukiko, oblivious to the danger, interrupted Shiraishihara's game again.

"What did you do? What are you referring to?" Shiraishi Hara slightly raised his eyes and looked at Kudo Yukiko, who had already removed her disguise. Her celebrity face was indeed pleasing to the eye, and the more you looked at her, the more likable she became.

No. .

057 Sneak Attack

Chapter 57

"It's... deliberately trying to sow discord between Shinichi and Ran," Yukiko Kudo explained.

"Heh... Do I need to sow discord between Shinichi and Ran?" Shiraishi Hara sneered.

"Good! You actually did it!"

"Why don't you reflect on yourself before questioning others?"

Shiraishi put down his phone, intending to argue with Yukiko Kudo, "Your son is now a first-grade elementary school student, it's not certain whether he can turn back into Shinichi Kudo."

Not only did they keep it from Xiaolan, but they also kept her hanging on by making anonymous phone calls.

What do you take Xiaolan for?

She is not a mindless appendage, much less your son's private property!

If it were in anime, it wouldn't matter, but now that Shiraishihara has transmigrated here, every anime character is no longer a simple virtual image, but a real person. He will no longer look at these real individuals with old eyes.

"Hmph! Stop pretending to be confused. You're just trying to steal my son's girlfriend. Don't think I can't see through you."

"No... Your son and Xiaolan are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. There's no chance for me to steal her away."

Shiraishi Hara felt he needed to find an electric shock device to "treat" Kudo Yukiko and cleanse her muddled mind.

"Even if my son has made many mistakes, are you completely without fault?"

"Auntie...you're really something."

Shiraishihara picked up his phone and continued playing the game...

At night, after laying out her bedding on the floor, Yukiko Kudo looked at Shiraishihara from a distance.

The thought of bathing in a hot spring with Shiraishihara filled her with dread that he might lose control and ambush her.

Shiraishi was tall and imposing. She dared not think about it and wondered if she would lose her life if she was violated.

"Shiraishihara, are you asleep?"

"Sleep, sleep..."

"What do you mean you slept? You didn't sleep at all."

"What does it matter to you whether I sleep or not? You don't mean to interfere with whether I sleep or not, do you?"

"Who cares if you sleep or not? You really think I'm your mother, huh?"

Yukiko Kudo pouted angrily, "How can I sleep if you don't sleep? What if you sneak up on me in the middle of the night?"

"I always do things openly and honestly. I would never ambush you. If I really wanted to do something to you, I would definitely wake you up first."

"You...you...as expected...you were after me...the thought of me being your classmate's mother makes you even more excited, doesn't it?"

"Shut up and go to sleep quietly."

Yukiko Kudo's silence only fueled Shiraishihara's anger. Shiraishihara looked helpless, feeling an overwhelming surge of irritation within him.

With no other option, Shiraishihara summoned the Sandman mask and forced himself to fall asleep.

He could still hear Yukiko Kudo rambling on, but he had already drifted off to sleep.

……

On the first day of the new year, after breakfast, Shiraishihara was sent out for a walk by Sonoko, so as to give "Shinichi Kudo" and Ran a chance to be alone.

Sonoko, as the number one fan of the ShinRan pairing, has always spared no effort in trying to bring them together.

Unfortunately, all the efforts were in vain, and there was no effect whatsoever.

Bathed in the morning sunlight, the snow-capped mountains seem even more enchanting than when it snows, and the air is exceptionally fresh.

The houses are scattered among the mountains in a neat and orderly manner, and many winter plum blossoms are blooming on both sides of the smooth road. Thick white snow is piled up on the roofs of several houses.

The birds in the mountains also became active, chirping incessantly among the snow-covered forest.

"The snow-capped mountains are so beautiful... It's so much more comfortable in this natural environment than in the city!" Sonoko couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hmm. No matter how beautiful the snow mountain is, it can't compare to how beautiful you are, Sonoko..." Shiraishihara replied casually.

"Really? Really?" Sonoko asked shyly, believing it to be true.

"Uh... really." Shiraishihara instantly realized he had been too talkative.

No. .

058 has changed quite a bit.

Chapter 58

As luck would have it, the two unexpectedly ran into Harumi Fukatsu, a female singer who was also visiting the village, and they started chatting.

"Is Miss Harumi familiar with this village?" Shiraishi asked.

“Ah, I’m not very familiar with it,” Fukatsu Harumi quickly replied. “I just wanted to go to the shrine because a senior from university used to often mention the kimono-sleeved kimono here…”

Shiraishi Hara and Sonoko followed Fukatsu Harumi up the long steps of the shrine.

"This is it,"

Harumi Fukatsu walked to a large tree in front of the shrine. "This tree is the Kimono-sleeve Cherry Blossom, which is 500 years old. Every spring, the branches are covered with flowers, which look like pairs of beautiful kimono sleeves."

Shiraishihara and Sonoko looked at the bare branches, exchanged a glance, and seemed unable to appreciate the beauty in them.

Sonoko asked curiously, "Miss Harumi, is the college senior you mentioned from this village?"

"This senior student didn't mention it, but she did live here..."

Harumi Fukatsu gazed longingly at the tree, thinking, "If my senior were still alive, she would probably come here to visit, wouldn't she?"

Shiraishi rubbed his nose, thinking that this matter was probably not so simple.

the other side……

Shinichi Kudo uses his skills from when he played the lead role in an idol drama to try and win Ran's favor.

Ran suddenly burst out laughing: "Hehehe... Shinichi, it's been a while, you've changed quite a bit..."

Shinichi Kudo remembered Shiraishihara's reminder and realized that it wasn't enough to just look like a character; he also had to capture their spirit.

But it's still a bit difficult to perfectly imitate Shinichi Kudo, who loves to show off.

"Ran, I think... you've changed too!" Shinichi Kudo looked displeased.

"Huh?" Xiaolan was taken aback, unsure if anything had changed. "Perhaps..."

"So... Ran, have you fallen for someone else...?" Shinichi Kudo angrily questioned Ran.

When questioned by "Shinichi Kudo," Ran was a little confused. She felt that she had never been in a relationship and that her romantic life was a complete blank.

"Shinichi, what nonsense are you spouting now..."

"I'm not lying. You're being too obvious right now. You can't hide it from me at all..." "Shinichi Kudo" hadn't realized the situation yet and was still presumptuously thinking that Shinichi Kudo and Ran were already in a romantic relationship, when in fact they weren't.

Just then, the two encountered Eri Akechi, who was passing by.

Ran greeted Eri Akechi in a friendly manner. After Eri Akechi responded, they walked together, with "Shinichi Kudo" also on the side.

“Actually, the kimono-sleeve deity has another name,” Eri Akechi explained, looking at the kimono-sleeve deity enshrined by the roadside, ““It’s called the kimono-sleeve Hannya.”

"A kimono with a hannya sleeve?" Ran asked, puzzled.

"Yes, this is a legend passed down from ancient times."

Legend has it that there once lived a hardworking and kind girl named Hana in this village. One day, she rescued an injured samurai on the road. To repay her, the samurai gave her many beautiful long-sleeved kimonos and sashes.

Later, out of jealousy, the village chief's two daughters deliberately framed Xiaohua, causing her to be arrested by the authorities...

"On the night that Hana was executed, the two sisters spread out the long-sleeved kimono and obi they had obtained, and just as they were getting excited, the lights suddenly went out."

When the village chief's family heard their screams and rushed over, the younger sister was already dead on her open long-sleeved kimono, while the older sister had drowned in the pond in the garden, her body still wrapped with many sashes..."

With her hands in her coat pockets, Eri Akechi turned to look at a shrine halfway up the mountain.

"Knowing that Xiaohua died with her eyes wide open in dismay, the villagers built a shrine for her and regarded her as the guardian deity of the village. So now everyone worships the Kimono Sleeve Goddess, and that shrine over there is called the Kimono Sleeve Goddess Grand Shrine..."

No. .

059 Take responsibility

59 chapter

……

Around noon, everyone returned to the hotel and gathered together for lunch.

"Eri, you absolutely have to give me more scenes in this drama!" Anzai Ema tentatively said to Akechi Eri.

“But I haven’t even started writing my script yet…” Eri Akechi looked troubled.

That's why I'm asking you for help!

Seeing this, the female editor Yasuda enthusiastically said to producer Bando, "Mr. Bando, the theme song hasn't been decided yet, right? We absolutely have to have Harumi sing it!"

Sakata readily agreed, but Harumi, standing to the side, seemed quite troubled.

Seeing this, Shibasaki Asuka and Anzai Ema started to mock her again: "Who knows if she'll become famous..."

"It's just..."

Seeing this, Shiraishihara, "Shinichi Kudo", Ran, and Sonoko all sensed that this seemingly harmonious group was actually riddled with internal conflicts.

After lunch, Ran and Sonoko went to the hot spring as usual. After they finished, they notified Shiraishihara and "Shinichi Kudo" to come over.

After all, the reason for traveling all the way from Tokyo to Yamagata Prefecture is to enjoy the unique natural hot springs of Yamagata Prefecture.

Shiraishi Hara put his large hand on "Shinichi Kudo's" shoulder and said with a grin, "Kudo-kun, let's go to the hot springs together."

"Ahhh... Absolutely not!"

"why?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me why? You bullied me badly enough yesterday, are you trying to bully me again?"

"No, no... don't think so badly of me!"
