"Holy crap, Yuzuru, you cheated!"
Conan never imagined that this guy actually knew the answer beforehand and was just teasing him.
Yuzuru glanced down at Conan, who was staring in disbelief, and blinked, saying, "Don't be angry, I'll buy you some sunflower seeds later!"
Hearing the commotion, Eri Kisaki gently pushed up her glasses, and a sharp gaze swept over.
"Something feels off..." Conan, carrying Eri on his back, felt the gaze behind him, and fine beads of sweat involuntarily began to appear on his forehead.
"Aunt Eri, Ran asked me to wait for you here." Yu Nan didn't bother with Conan, who was acting like a mouse seeing a cat, but instead stood up and greeted him with a smile.
Seeing the familiar tone in which this complete stranger spoke of Ran, Eri's heart skipped a beat. As she walked forward, she asked, "Who are you? Where is Ran?"
As she spoke, Eri Kisaki's gaze remained fixed on Nanami Hanyu, scrutinizing him from head to toe as if trying to see right through him.
When a strange man inexplicably appeared beside her precious daughter without her knowledge, Eri Kisaki couldn't help but feel that she was a terrible mother.
"Auntie Yingli, Ran went out to buy things. My name is Yu Shengnan, and I'm Ran's classmate." Yu Shengnan took the opportunity to say some flattering things to his mother-in-law, trying to leave a good impression.
"Speaking of which, Xiaolan and you look so alike! I recognized you at a glance!"
While Conan was trembling in fear, she frantically tried to poach him from the other side.
Sure enough, after hearing Yuzuru say that Ran looked like her, Eri Kisaki's cold expression gradually softened. This was the sentence she liked to hear the most.
Eri Kisaki, carrying a file bag, gracefully sat down in her seat, slightly adjusted her posture, and asked, "Hanyu, right? How long until Ran comes back?"
"Ran should be back soon. She went to buy Conan a small cake, right, Conan?" Yuzuru replied with a smile.
Upon hearing Yuzuru's words, Conan finally realized who the woman in front of him was.
The image of being brutally beaten as a child immediately flashed through her mind, and her head began to throb again. "Xiao Lan's mother, so that wicked old woman!"
Conan still vividly remembers the painful experience of being severely beaten by her when he was a child.
"Hehe, yes, Ran-neechan will be back soon." Conan forced a smile, trying to get away with it by acting cute.
"And who is this little kid?" Eri Kisaki stared coldly at Conan.
Feeling Eri's gaze, Conan involuntarily shrank back.
“Aunt Eri, his name is Conan. Uncle Mori let him stay at our house, and Uncle Mori is here to take care of him.” As Hanyu Nan answered the question, he waved to the waiter beside him, “Aunt Eri, what would you like to drink?”
"Coffee," Eri replied expressionlessly, her gaze coldly fixed on Conan, who had shrunk into a ball.
"Hmph... That drunkard is good enough at taking care of himself, let alone others? In the end, it'll be Xiaolan who has to take care of him."
Eri Kisaki pondered to herself, feeling a strange sense of irritation.
I was in a particularly good mood today because I had arranged to meet my daughter.
Before she could even see her daughter, she heard that Kogoro Mouri's family had a strange child she didn't know.
She now feels sorry for Xiaolan, but also has to take care of another person, and is also a little afraid that things are as she imagines.
Noticing that Eri Kisaki was staring intently at Conan, and that her aura was growing increasingly cold, Nanami Hanyu observed the scene with great interest.
Although I don't know what the other person is thinking at this moment, it certainly isn't a good thing.
"A-Auntie, w-what's wrong..." Conan felt uneasy under Eri's gaze and began to stammer.
"Heh, Conan, what's your last name?" Eri Kisaki sneered, knowing full well that she might be overthinking things, but she couldn't help but ask anyway.
"E-Edogawa Conan, I am a detective..." Conan was startled by the sudden question and subconsciously uttered his classic opening line.
Upon hearing Conan's self-introduction, Eri Kisaki frowned slightly.
Although I didn't hear the answer I least wanted to hear.
But is it really true that my family is incompatible with detectives?
"Yuzuru, what do you do?"
Hearing Eri's question, Nanami Hanyu, who was watching the show, put down his cappuccino. "Aunt Eri, I'm still a student. My main task right now is to study. I've already been accepted into the University of Tokyo."
Yu Sheng Nan glanced at Eri Kisaki, whose complexion was better, and then said, "Aunt Eri, speaking of which, I should call you senior sister. I have long admired your brilliance back then."
Eri Kisaki is now known as the "Queen of Law," but she also had a prestigious title during her student days: "Queen of Teitan."
The reason she is called "Queen" and not "Empress" is because the surname "妃" in English means "Queen".
"Hehe, those are all old stories, not worth mentioning." Hearing Yuzuru's praise, Eri Kisaki also thought of her student days.
I probably never imagined I would become like this back then.
I was silly back in my student days. I actually wanted to be a delicate little princess rather than a queen.
However, many times, things don't go as planned.
"Yuzuru, the most important thing for a student is to study. Cherish your time as a student and don't get corrupted by those shady people." After saying this, Eri Kisaki gave Conan, who was trembling with fear, a special glance.
“Okay, Aunt Eri.”
"What's going on? Why are you looking at me? I'm a famous detective! I'm not some shady character." Conan rolled his eyes, lay on the table, and pretended not to see.
If you're angry, go take it out on an older man. I'm just a kid, why are you taking it out on me?
Besides, I paid for the care service; I didn't just eat and drink for free and live at the uncle's house.
...
"Ding-dong!"
"Hey, boss." As the doorbell rang, a rugged-looking man walked into the store.
"Oh, it's Mr. Tonoyama." The shopkeeper clearly recognized the customer and asked while wiping the cup in his hands, "What happened to your hand?"
At that moment, Yuzuru, who was chatting with Eri, also looked up at her, thinking to himself: Oh wow, today's culprit has made a dazzling appearance~
