"Oh, Xiaolan, so you were actually willing?"

Eri was taken aback by Ran's last sentence, then couldn't help but chuckle, "Sure enough, daughters grow up and leave home quickly. Looks like Mom will have to prepare your dowry~"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan's face instantly turned bright red. She stammered, "No... that's not it, Mom... Mom, that's not what I meant. I just said... Oh dear, you've confused me."

She frantically waved her hands, trying to explain, but the more she tried, the worse it got.

Seeing that her daughter's attention had been diverted, Eri Kisaki pressed her advantage and continued to tease her with a smile: "Don't worry, you're my only precious daughter. I'll definitely prepare a very lavish dowry for you so you can have a grand wedding. You'll be the most beautiful bride then."

"Mom, please stop talking!"

Xiaolan's face turned even redder, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

Eri Kagi seemed to be using her daughter's marriage to remind herself of something, or perhaps she simply wanted to tease her daughter; she didn't stop talking at all.

She pushed up her glasses and said leisurely, "Then I'll have to call you Hanyu Ran... I must say, it sounds much better than Mouri Ran."

As she said this, a thought suddenly flashed through Eri's mind, and a faint blush appeared on her face.

Eri Hanyu?

It sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

The moment the thought appeared, it flickered in her heart like a flame.

However, she quickly suppressed this somewhat absurd thought and silently warned herself not to overthink it; Xiaolan and Xiaonan were the most suitable couple.

When Ran heard Eri say that, her temperature rose sharply, her head spun, and she gave a silly grin.

"Hehe... Yuzuru Ran...hehehe..."

"Xiao Lan, you silly girl, you're already daydreaming." Eri shook her head helplessly, her eyes filled with both affection and a hint of teasing. "Even if you agree to marry him, Xiao Nan might not necessarily take you as his wife..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a clear voice.

“I’m willing. As long as Auntie agrees, I’ll prepare the bride price tomorrow.”

Yuzuru, who was on the hospital bed next to her, had woken up at some point. He was lying on his side, propping his head up with one hand, watching the mother and daughter's banter with great interest.

Ran and Eri fell silent instantly. Ran quickly went to the bedside and asked, "Nan, you're awake! How are you feeling?"

Eri Kisaki followed up with concern, asking, "Nan, is anything bothering you?"

Yu Shengnan smiled slightly at the two of them, sat up, and said, "I'm fine now. Is Auntie alright?"

“I’m much better now…” Looking at Yuzuru’s concerned gaze, Eri Kisaki’s heart skipped a beat. The composure she had been trying to maintain in front of Ran crumbled instantly, and she could only say in a flustered voice, “Yuzuru, I really have to thank you this time. If it weren’t for you, I might not have been able to come back. I don’t know how to thank you enough.”

"Hehe, Auntie, that's too formal. We're family, this is what I should do."

Yu Sheng Nan smiled and gently rubbed the head of Xiao Lan, who was still giggling, as she leaned over, emphasizing the words "family".

Regardless of what Eri Kisaki thought, Ran didn't think much of it. She buried her head in Yuzuru Hanyu's arms, blushing, and muttered loudly, "That's right, we're family. Mom, you don't need to be so polite with Hanyu. Just tell him if you need anything."

At the same time, she thought to herself with a happy heart: I'll just consider it as my daughter's dowry!

Xiaolan hasn't given up on the idea of ​​getting married tomorrow.

Seeing her impatient look, Yuu Nan smiled gently and looked up at Eri Kisaki beside him.

Eri Kisaki had been silently watching him the whole time. Their eyes met in the air, and Nanami Yuzuru blinked.

The next second, Eri Kisaki, like a little girl caught stealing food, hurriedly lowered her head. Her delicate face had lost its previous composure, and that hint of panic and shyness added a unique charm to her.

Xiaolan didn't notice their little actions.

The atmosphere in the ward became warm yet somewhat subtle, as if everyone harbored a different kind of emotion. Changing careers...

Izu, hotel.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan, who slept until noon, finally couldn't resist their hunger and got up to go downstairs to eat.

"What? Someone else has been bitten by a sea snake?"

Kogoro Mouri, who was eating a buffet in the hotel cafeteria, lost his appetite after hearing the conversations around him, especially after hearing that someone had been bitten by a sea snake that morning.

He still didn't know who the person who was bitten was, because Xiaolan hadn't called to inform him of his unreliable behavior yesterday.

Kogoro Mouri's current worry is that since there have been incidents of sea snakes attacking people on the beach, how will he be able to enjoy the cool and beautiful young ladies on the beach later? They must have all been scared away!

"The people bitten by the sea snake were a man and a woman. It seems that the helicopter that came this morning was to pick them up and take them to the hospital."

Conan swallowed the bread in his mouth and, as usual, began to gather information from his surroundings. His brain started working at high speed, making deductions.

He didn't think about Xiaolan either.

Although Yuzuru Nan is a bit despicable, it has to be said that with him around, the sea serpent could never harm Xiaolan, not to mention that there was another man in the news who was also bitten.

Conan really didn't believe that a small sea snake could harm Hanyu Nan, who even the Black Organization couldn't do anything to.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud was heard.

"What are you thinking, you little brat? Hurry up and eat. After you finish, we'll go to the hospital to see Miss Takako!"

Kogoro Mouri threw his daily punch at Conan, who was deep in thought.

After hitting her, he shook his hand and kept complaining, "Why did you have to call the police yesterday? Such a lovely Ms. Matsuzaki Haru is locked up like this!"

As a former police officer, Kogoro Mouri knew all too well that if such an attempted murder was reported, even if the victim did not pursue the matter, he would still be sentenced to more than three years in prison.

At that point, it remains to be seen whether Toda Takako and Matsuzaki Masahiko, the soon-to-be-married couple, will be able to proceed with their marriage smoothly.

Conan rubbed his head where he had been hit, rolled his eyes, and said loudly, "Uncle, Miss Koharu did something wrong. We can't let her off so easily just because she admitted her mistake or the victim doesn't pursue the matter. What's the point of the law then? The law exists to uphold fairness and justice."
