Conan: My Pure Love Exceeds the Limit

Chapter 73 I Can Only Be Selfish This Once
"Of course!" Professor Agasa straightened up and said proudly, "I've been working really hard lately!"

"And the recipes and such have changed quite a bit!"

Hearing this, Conan chuckled: "Good luck, but your recipe was probably modified by my mom!"

He knows his mother very well, and if Professor Agasa says the recipe has changed, then it must be his mother's recipe.

However, Professor Agasa himself doesn't really have a diet plan; he usually eats whatever he wants without caring at all.

But that's not possible now. There are people watching you, and they're even holding guns and keeping an eye on you. If you don't obey, they might just shoot you!
That's right, this person is none other than Shinji Kitahara!

Although Shinji Kitahara looks like a terrorist, he is actually very intimidating.

This completely subdued Professor Agasa, and of course, he's completely obedient now.

"Hehe." Professor Agasa laughed: "It's a recipe your mother Yukiko made for me, but it's not a healthy meal, so I can still eat it."

"If it's a fitness meal, I might as well be killed. After all, I'm already this old, and I really can't stand eating this kind of thing."

The so-called "fitness meal" is just boiled chicken breast and boiled lettuce.

Most people really couldn't stick to it, let alone a PhD.

People who can truly persevere are truly extraordinary!

Anyway, Professor Agasa and Shinji Kitahara couldn't hold out.

"Just eat whatever you want. After all, you're getting on in years. Don't make things too hard on yourself," Conan said.

Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa nodded: "Of course I know, but I still have one day a week to indulge in a meal, which is enough to soothe my wounded heart."

A so-called indulgent meal is like the crazy KFC meal every Thursday, where you can have a good feast.

However, in this world, there is no Crazy Thursday.

"Hehe." Conan remained noncommittal.

At that moment, Shinji Kitahara said, "Oh, right, Conan, there's something I forgot to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Conan glanced at Shinji Kitahara, somewhat cautiously, and tentatively asked, "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

“It’s a good thing for me, but it’s a bad thing for you.” Shinji Kitahara smiled.

Upon hearing this, Conan asked, "Can I not listen?"

He really didn't want to hear about some bad things!
But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head; you can't fight city hall.

"Say it!"

"Actually," Kitahara Shinji squatted down and smiled slightly, "that treasure map you found at the jewelry exhibition is real. I found the treasure based on the clues on it. Can you guess what it is?"

Upon hearing this, Conan's expression changed, and his cheeks twitched involuntarily: "Wait, it's actually a treasure map!"

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Shinji Kitahara said, "Why would I lie to you? There's no benefit for me in lying to you."

"And do you even know what ORO means in Italian?"

“Italian? Oro?” Conan paused, then began to think.

But he didn't understand Italian, so he had no idea what it meant, but when he heard about Italy and treasure maps, something came to mind.

"In Italian, ORO means gold. Could it be..." Dr. Agasa, who was standing nearby, did know what ORO meant in Italian.

It means gold. Thinking of this, he understood what the treasure that Kitahara Shinji was talking about represented.

"Fifteen thousand maple leaf coins!" Professor Agasa and Conan exclaimed in unison. "Yes, yes, maple leaf coins!" Shinji Kitahara said with a broad smile, patting Conan's head. "If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have been able to get these maple leaf coins. Thank you so much!"

"I can treat you to whatever you want to eat next time, but only after the money arrives in my account!"

He said that on purpose, just to tease Conan.

If I don't tease Conan every day, I always feel like something's missing.

So he told Conan about it, leaving Conan looking helpless, which felt incredibly satisfying.

And Conan's appearance was not much different from what he had imagined.

It's that look on his face—wanting to kill him but unable to.

It was truly refreshing and exhilarating!
"You really took those 15,000 maple leaf coins?" Conan was shocked to hear this, but Shinji Kitahara didn't seem to be joking.

Since it's not a joke, then it must be true.

The doctor also said that ORO means gold, and he had seen the note and knew that it said "oro," but he didn't think much of it at the time and didn't think it was a treasure map, so he didn't pay attention to it.

It turned out to be a treasure map, which was eventually obtained by Shinji Kitahara.

It was absolutely terrible!

“Yes,” Shinji Kitahara said, “I’ve already had professionals sell these gold coins, and the money will be deposited into my account in a while. Then I’ll be a rich man.”

"This is all thanks to you, Conan!"

Hearing this, Conan's face darkened: "These maple leaf coins are not your personal property, you have no right to do this!"

Even though things have come to this, there are still some things he wants to say.

When it comes to stubbornness, Conan is still as stubborn as ever!

“You’re right, I’m not qualified to handle these things, but these are Italian items, and now they’ve come to Japan, so they’re unclaimed. Since they’re unclaimed, they’re mine.”

"Moreover, neither the Japanese police nor the Italian police knew about this."

"Of course, now that you know, you can go tell Inspector Megure, and I absolutely won't stop you!"

"Heh." Conan sneered, "I'll tell them you took the gold coins, and then you'll tell them I'm Shinichi Kudo, right?"

"Oh dear!" Shinji Kitahara patted Conan's head with a broad smile. "You've even learned to answer questions first! You've really grown up!"

"Yes, that's my idea."

"So, what do you want to do, Conan?"

“There’s nothing I can do.” Conan took a deep breath to calm himself down. “This has nothing to do with me. All I can do is condemn you.”

"Besides, I have many things to do, and I can't afford to lose my life in vain because of this!"

People are always selfish, and Conan is going to be selfish this time.

However, this is not the first time he has been selfish.

"Conan, you've changed quite a bit too."

"I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll be like in the future."

People always change.

Conan is the same!
