Achoo! Achoo!
After sneezing twice, Conan pulled down his mask and wiped his nose with a tissue.
"Conan, how are you feeling? Are you alright?" Ran leaned forward, sat in the passenger seat, looked at Conan, and asked with concern.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Conan shook his head and replied with a smile, "It's just that my nose is still a little uncomfortable."
"If you feel unwell, you must tell me," Xiaolan said, still a little worried.
"I understand," Conan nodded in response.
"Honestly," Uncle Mori said, looking ahead and pursing his lips. "If you have a cold, you should stay home and rest."
"The owner of the Polo Coffee shop downstairs finally agreed to take care of you for the whole day."
Thinking of this, Uncle Mori shook his head helplessly.
If he hadn't had a good relationship with the coffee shop owner, and if he hadn't been the landlord, the coffee shop owner might not have agreed to help take care of Conan for a whole day.
Even with these conditions in mind, it still took him quite a while to convince the coffee shop owner to help take care of Conan for a day.
But Conan insisted on going, which means he wasted his time, didn't it?
Seriously!
"But I really want to see the villa that Sonoko-neechan's family bought in Karuizawa!" Conan explained with a smile, seemingly oblivious to Uncle Mori's displeasure.
Glancing at Conan ahead, Kōyū thought to himself, "I think he's worried about Ran getting hit on by other boys..."
How could he not know Conan's little scheme?
Meanwhile, Conan thought to himself, "Given Sonoko's style, even if she says she wants to go on vacation, she's unlikely to come up with any proper plans."
He didn't want to go either, but unfortunately it was the gardener who suggested going on vacation.
Based on his understanding of the garden, he figured this vacation might be a chance to meet some guy he likes in Karuizawa.
"What? You're going to use tennis to flirt with guys?" Ran asked in surprise after learning about Sonoko's plan.
“Yes!” Sonoko nodded and said with a smile, “During this season, many of the people playing tennis at the courts near my villa are college students!”
"You really are something..." Ran kindly reminded him, "If you do that, Mr. Kyogoku will hate you."
"Or rather, you no longer like Mr. Kyogoku?"
"Ran, don't misunderstand!" Sonoko clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and thought of Makoto Kyogoku's appearance as she defended herself, "Of course I still like him!"
"Then how come you..." Xiaolan didn't understand what Yuanzi meant.
Since Sonoko still likes Makoto Kyogoku, she shouldn't be doing things like hitting on guys, right?
After defending herself, Sonoko opened her eyes, looked at Ran, and explained, "This time, I did it all for you, Ran!"
"For me?" Xiaolan pointed to herself, somewhat puzzled.
Upon hearing Sonoko say it was for Ran, both Mori, who was driving, and Conan twitched their ears and focused intently on their conversation, afraid of missing a single word.
At this moment, Sonoko was telling Ran her real plan and was completely unaware of the subtle actions of the two people in front of her:
"Ran, dressed in tennis attire, showed off her stunning figure. After the college students approached her, she would take a photo of the two of them together and then email it to Shinichi."
"The goal is to make Kudo jealous!"
After telling Ran her real plan, Sonoko couldn't help but smile smugly.
Then, Sonoko leaned closer to Ran and asked, "How's my plan? Isn't it perfect?"
“But I don’t think Shinichi will be jealous,” Ran said, a faint blush rising on her fair face.
"I knew it wouldn't be anything good..." Conan pouted, feeling inexplicably angry as he thought of the scene Sonoko had described.
"That Sonoko is really something..."
"Besides, I only brought my Teitan High School tracksuit," Ran waved her hand, politely declining. "What tennis outfit do I have?"
"It's alright, Xiaolan, don't worry."
Sonoko had anticipated this situation. She calmly picked up her bag from under the seat, opened it, and spoke to Ran as she did so.
"I've specially prepared a set for you, Xiaolan."
As she spoke, Sonoko took a mini tennis skirt out of her bag and showed it to Ran, saying with a big smile.
"Look! It's a super mini, super cute design!"
"Eh!!!" Xiaolan blushed instantly when she saw the tennis skirt.
Conan, who had been keeping an eye on what was happening behind him, blushed when he saw the tennis skirt in Sonoko's hand. "It's so tiny!"
"This is a bit too short..." Guangyou's expression didn't change much; he just sighed to himself.
"Wait, wait a minute!" Ran said to Sonoko, her face flushed and her voice slightly agitated. "How could I possibly wear a dress like that!"
"Besides, I didn't bring those pants with me!"
As a girl, Sonoko naturally knew that the "pants" Ran mentioned were actually safety shorts, specifically designed to prevent accidental exposure.
"That's true, then there's nothing we can do about it." Sonoko looked down at the super mini tennis skirt in her hand and said with some regret.
Just when Ran thought Sonoko had given up on the idea, she heard Sonoko whisper, "Then why don't you just skip those pants and go on stage!"
"!!!" Xiaolan blushed even more upon hearing this.
