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

"What does 'try your best' mean? It means you must do it."

Shiraishi couldn't guarantee that, despite believing himself to possess a broad and loving heart, he would not abandon loving others because of loving one person. Rather, he loved everyone he loved with an equal heart.

"But you, Reiko... have had a fiancé, yet you don't have much experience in relationships, which surprises me quite a bit."

"Soma Hikaru and I have been childhood friends since we were little, and we've always been like siblings. We only decided to get married when we reached marriageable age. Soma Hikaru is very conservative and planned to have intimate actions only after marriage, so I have never kissed anyone."

Shiraishihara was extremely surprised upon hearing this and could hardly believe it.

However, considering the Shinichi and Ran pairing in the original anime, they've been together for over a thousand episodes, clearly confessing their feelings but never kissing. So, it's possible that Akiba Reiko and her fiancé haven't kissed either.

"What's with that disbelieving look on your face?"

No, I believe it.

"Hmph!" Akiba Reiko crossed her arms and pouted, "You'll see tonight that I wasn't lying to you."

"tonight?"

“Hmm…” Akiba Reiko nodded shyly.

After resting for a while, the two went to play bumper cars, but Akiba Reiko dared not try those kinds of amusement rides that are too stimulating to the heart.

At lunchtime, the two went into a Western restaurant. They each ordered a pasta dish and then ordered a pizza together.

Reiko Akiba took a small sip of water from her cup, then let out a long sigh.

"Reiko, you look like you're sweating a lot. Did you have fun?"

"Yeah, I had a lot of fun."

"And what about you, Yuan Jun?"

"I am also very happy."

During the meal, Akiba Reiko noticed that Shiraishi Hara's gaze kept falling on her feet, which felt strange.

"Yuan Jun, am I imagining things, but you keep staring at my feet?"

"Hmm... Reiko, your feet are very beautiful. The more I look at them, the more beautiful they seem."

Reiko Akiba wore white high-heeled sandals, her ankles and toes peeking out from under her skirt. Her ankles were as white as snow, her steps were light, and her toes were adorable.

"Please, don't do that, people will think you're a pervert."

Akiba Reiko glared at Shiraishihara with annoyance.

“I’m serious, Reiko, your feet are really attractive.”

"enough."

Akiba Reiko's forehead veins bulged: "It's so hot, I sweat when I walk. If I smell bad, would you still like me?"

"Odor? You mean foot odor?"

"I-I don't know!"

Akiba Reiko was extremely embarrassed. Why was Shiraishihara acting so strangely? What was he thinking?!

Shiraishihara smiled broadly: "Hehehe... How could a beauty's feet possibly smell bad?"

In the world of Detective Conan, beautiful women only possess a fragrance. Shiraishihara is an expert in this regard.

Reiko Akiba really didn't want to discuss her feet with Shiraishihara anymore; the atmosphere was just too awkward. So she deliberately changed the subject and asked, "What are you planning to do this afternoon?"

"Let's go see a show... There are regular shows at the amusement park this afternoon."

"Okay."

Although Akiba Reiko's pre-prepared travel itinerary was not of any use, she was still quite pleased that her boyfriend was so opinionated.

After lunch, the two went to the amusement park to watch a show.

The so-called "Show 380" is actually the kind commonly seen in Disney parks. Dorothea Park only gave it this name to avoid copyright issues.

After watching the show, the two also tried out retro pinball and baseball games, and finally boarded a retro-style double-decker bus to travel between different areas of the park.

On the bus, they admired the scenery inside the park.

Dorobiga Park is so large that one day is simply not enough to fully enjoy it.

However, the two were not simply traveling for leisure, but rather to enjoy their date.

Having each other by your side brings immense joy.

Before we knew it, the western sky had turned bright red.

Night quietly descended in the east, and the indigo sky expanded ever wider. The glittering starlight illuminated the winter night with a soft glow.

Sirius, Procyon, Betelgeuse... the entire world was completely shrouded in darkness. The starlight of Orion flashed across the night sky.

"It's already evening, are you going back now?"

"Actually... I've already booked a room for tonight at the hotel inside the amusement park."

Reiko Akiba was too shy to speak up until nightfall, when she finally mustered the courage to tell Shiraishihara that she wanted to spend the night together.

"Huh? What are we going to do..."

Akiba Reiko's initiative made Shiraishihara's heart race.

Thinking about it carefully, they had only known each other for a few days, yet they were already planning to take things further.

This must be what they call a surprise.

"It's exactly what you think."

The death of her fiancé made Akiba Reiko deeply aware of the impermanence of life.

She believes that one should be brave enough to do what one wants to do, and not leave any regrets for oneself.

After all, no one can predict what will happen tomorrow.

"Uh... let's go to the hotel now."

"If you think it's still early, I can play with you a little longer."

"No need, I've had enough fun, let's go back to the hotel."

"Hehe... Don't be too impatient, I'm not going to run away."

"I wasn't in a hurry at first, but now I really can't wait."

"Let's go then."

Reiko Akiba took Shiraishihara's hand and led him to the hotel they had booked.

No. .

129 Waves of joy followed one after another, leading straight to bliss.

Chapter 129

One of the rooms in the Dorobiga Park, which resembles a Disney castle, is where Shiraishihara and Akiba Reiko lived.

The room was extremely luxurious, decorated like a fairy tale world, making them feel as if they had truly become a prince and princess in a fairy tale.

"This room is amazing, it must be expensive."

"Don't worry about the price. I've been busy with work all these years and have saved up quite a bit of money."

As a renowned singer, Akiba Reiko naturally earns a substantial income, so there's no need for Shiraishihara, who has no income yet, to worry about it.

"Indeed, Reiko, you are a famous singer."

The two rested for a while and sat down.

Reiko Akiba was the first to stand up, giving Shiraishihara a captivating look.

"...I'm going to take a shower first."

"Ok."

……

As Shiraishi listened to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, he felt both nervous and expectant.

The thought of having the opportunity to spend quality time with this beautiful female singer tonight filled me with immense joy.

Akiba Reiko is beautiful, has a lovely voice, and possesses an elegant and refined temperament. It must be wonderful to be with such an outstanding woman.

After a while, Akiba Reiko emerged from the bathroom as if carrying a misty vapor, as fresh and beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water.

She wore a thin bath towel, her long hair, still damp with water droplets, cascaded down like a waterfall, shimmering with a natural sheen. A few strands occasionally clung playfully to her cheeks, adding a touch of languid charm to her appearance.

"Yuan Jun, it's your turn."

"Okay, let's go now."

Shiraishi hurriedly went into the bathroom, quickly washed his whole body, dried himself with a hairdryer, changed his clothes, and came out.

When he came out of the bathroom, he saw that Akiba Reiko had changed into a loose nightgown and was lying on her side on the bed. Seeing him staring blankly at her, she couldn't help but smile.

"Have you seen enough? If you have, come over here quickly."

Reiko Akiba, suppressing her shyness, beckoned Shiraishihara over. As a woman older than Shiraishihara, she told herself not to be too reserved and to show her mature side.

"You're here." Shiraishi Hara sat down on the edge of the bed, his gaze falling gently on her.

As Shiraishihara gazed at Akiba Reiko, Akiba Reiko was also looking at him. Shiraishihara's clear features and composed demeanor captivated her.

As a singer who frequently performs in various places, she has seen a lot and is certain that Shiraishihara is the most captivating man she has ever met.

He had a handsome appearance, a reliable demeanor, and the sincerity in his eyes made her feel incredibly at ease.

Her eyes were filled with admiration. Wasn't this a hundred or a thousand times better than her deceased fiancé, Hikaru Soma? She silently marveled at the favor of fate.

"Yuan Jun, now that you know all my secrets, tell me the truth, do you like me?"

"Yes, I like you! I like you a lot!"

"Then I'll give you my true heart."

"Reiko, I will cherish you very much."

Shiraishi Hara gently held Akiba Reiko's hand, the warmth from her fingertips filling both of them with a sense of comfort.

Reiko Akiba said softly, "Meeting you seems to have filled all the loneliness of these past years."

"Me too, every moment with you is precious." Shiraishihara's voice was gentle yet firm.

For a long time, Akiba Reiko's emotional world had been barren, with loneliness always by her side, to the point that she could hardly remember what happiness looked like.

At first, she was a little reserved when facing Shiraishihara (agab), as if she were facing a sudden gift, both expectant and apprehensive.

However, Shiraishihara's sincerity and patience gradually made her lower all her guard, immersing her in this long-lost warmth, as if she were in a quiet and peaceful harbor.

"It's so good to have you by my side." Akiba Reiko's eyes were full of love. Being with the one she loved was undoubtedly the happiest thing in the world!

"Reiko, let's walk together from now on."

Shiraishi could sense Akiba Reiko's feelings; how could he bear to let go of such an outstanding woman?

“Okay…I do…” Akiba Reiko’s voice was soft yet firm, filled with anticipation for the future.

They smiled at each other, gently nestled together, feeling each other's heartbeats, as if the whole world had shrunk to just this pure warmth...

……

A new day begins at the church's music hall.

An announcement was playing in the hall: "Attention all guests, smoking is strictly prohibited in the concert hall. Please turn off your mobile phones during the performance..."

As 5 p.m. approached, the concert hall lobby was bustling with activity, with people coming and going, shoulder to shoulder.

Shiraishi Hara and Akiba Reiko arrived at the scene hand in hand.

Yesterday, they had a wonderful night, slept until noon, and went straight to the church music hall after leaving the amusement park.

The main characters of Detective Conan entered the hall with the crowd, and soon after they sat down on the terrace seats, the audience seats below were completely filled.

"Wow, there are so many people!" Sonoko exclaimed in surprise. "It's packed in no time... Strange, where's Shiraishi-kun? The performance is about to start!"

Ran pointed to a handsome man and a beautiful woman behind them and said, "Huh? Shiraishi-kun is over there with Akiba-san. It feels a bit strange."

Sonoko rubbed her eyes: "Yeah...they're holding hands, they look so intimate!"
