"Who exactly is this person who has helped me so many times recently?!"
Xiaolan said with deep emotion, "Ah! Nameless knight shrouded in black! If you would grant this humble princess's wish, please remove that mask as black as night and show me your true face!"
Opposite Xiaolan stood a child wearing a mask. His voice was childish, but the aura he exuded did not seem out of place: "If this is truly the princess's wish, then I am willing to present this face, etched with ugly scars, to the princess under the moonlight."
Guangyou spoke slowly, and the emotion he conveyed made Xiaolan blush slightly: "Guangyou, you acted really well!"
At this moment, Uncle Mori was sitting in a chair with his feet on the table, reading the newspaper with great comfort. He nodded and said, "That's really good. Mitsuyu could become an actor in the future and win an Oscar. That would truly bring glory to our Mori family!"
Conan, sitting on the sofa, was reading a book. Several veins bulged on his delicate, pale hands. "Damn it, I should have acted!"
Hearing Kōyū's lines, Conan felt as if a bottle of vinegar had been spilled in his heart; he couldn't shake off the feeling no matter how he thought about it.
Kōyū flipped through the script, and every line was so cheesy that it was obvious who wrote it: "It must have been written by Sonoko-neechan, it's so cheesy."
“Yes.” Ran didn’t seem bothered by the cheesy compliment, perhaps because she had seen it for a while. “Sonoko told me that this Black Knight was modeled after Shinichi.”
Looking at the script, Guangyou grinned mischievously: "Hehe, it even says the knight has to kiss the princess!"
"What!"
Conan also had a script in his hand, and when he heard this, his eyes widened as he searched for the scene of the passionate kiss.
"Don't worry, it's just for show." Ran still wanted to save it for Shinichi; she couldn't possibly kiss him. She wasn't that open-minded.
Conan suppressed his jealousy, put on an innocent smile, and asked, "Ran-neechan, who's going to play the role of the knight?"
A smile appeared on Ran's face as she bent down and looked at Conan: "What's wrong, Conan? Are you bothered by this?"
"Curious, curious." Conan scratched his head, trying not to admit he was jealous.
Kōyū glanced at Conan with disdain and snorted coldly.
"You've all met that person before, he's the school doctor, Dr. Shinichi."
Upon hearing this, Conan felt that it wasn't just a case of jealousy being spilled, but rather that he had been thrown into a sea of jealousy.
Ran, oblivious to Conan's unusually complicated expression, continued, "The boys in our class are all too shy, so we asked Dr. Araide for help when he came to do our checkups."
Kouyu understood why the boys in Ran's class rejected her; everyone at Teitan High School knew about the relationship between Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo.
Although Shinichi Kudo has been missing for a long time, if he were to return one day, wouldn't the people who played the knights be retaliated against by Shinichi Kudo?
A knight's life is fun for a while, but Shinichi's arrival means certain death.
Furthermore, putting aside Shinichi's reasons, Ran Mouri's karate skills are no joke.
Conan and Uncle Mori felt even worse, while Ran laughed and said, "Dr. Araide is quite good, isn't he? He played the lead role several times during his student days, and he really knows how to handle girls!"
Conan gasped, temporarily suppressing the urge to curse, and quickly shouted along with Uncle Mori, "No, no! You can't act anymore!"
Ran seemed to enjoy seeing Conan and Uncle Mori make a fool of themselves, and chuckled, "Don't be nervous, we just invited Dr. Araide to watch our practice. As for the Knight, Sonoko said she can dress up as a boy and play the role!"
"That's even more exciting!" Kwang-yu chuckled mischievously.
"Thump!"
Uncle Mori's fist, as big as a sandbag, was no joke either. He punched Guangyou on the head: "You little brat, you're not learning anything good!"
Upon hearing that Sonoko would be playing the knight, Uncle Mori and Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least it was much better than having Tomoaki Araide play the knight.
It was getting late, and Xiaolan had to rehearse the next morning, so she hurriedly wanted to take a nice, relaxing shower and then go to bed early to be well-rested.
"No, the bathroom is broken." Uncle Mori poured cold water on Ran.
Conan was also a little troubled; he also wanted to take a bath.
The public bathhouse was closed today, so Conan suggested borrowing a bathhouse from Professor Agasa's house. Conan also wanted to discuss camping with Professor Agasa over the weekend.
Uncle Mori took out a cigarette and lit it for himself: "Honestly, you guys might as well just shower together, otherwise it would save you some trouble and you could come back earlier and save time."
Upon hearing this, Ran's hand froze in mid-air, and Conan's face flushed red instantly.
Ran's body trembled as she turned around and shouted, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about! Tell me why I absolutely have to take a bath with Conan!"
Uncle Mori had just lit his cigarette when he was startled by Ran and it fell right onto his pants, giving him a slightly unpleasant feeling.
Xiaolan then realized that she might have gone a bit too far, and said awkwardly, "Besides, this isn't good for the child's education either."
Then, Ran turned to Conan with a smile and asked, "Right, Conan?"
Conan paused for a moment, then nodded.
"I want to go too!" Kōyū can go see Ai.
Xiaolan seemed to have misunderstood something, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Guangyou could come along too."
"How about I give you a back rub later, Guangyou?"
Guangyou almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He swore that he really just wanted to go to the doctor's house with Xiaolan.
Conan's face turned purple as he looked at Kōyū with ill intent. He vowed that if Kōyū actually did that back then, he would skin him alive and tear him apart, even if he couldn't beat him.
On the way to Professor Agasa's house, Conan's face was gloomy, while Mitsuyoshi was sweating profusely and whistling, seemingly oblivious to Conan's expression.
Ran had already informed Professor Agasa on the way, so she went in first to use the bathroom.
Conan watched Ran walk away, his face ashen as he looked at Kōyū: "You're not really going to go in, are you?"
"Um?"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Guangyou tried his best to smile and said, "Of course, one should not covet a friend's wife."
Conan nodded in satisfaction: "Good to know."
Conan's expression had not yet recovered, and his jealousy remained undiminished.
Guangyou ran into the doctor's house as if his feet were greased.
Conan walked slowly, then suddenly stopped and shook his head: "I can't think about it anymore, it just makes me feel worse."
After saying that, Conan took a few deep breaths before entering Professor Agasa's house.
For some reason, the air in front of Professor Agasa's house smelled of vinegar.
