The Detective Conan's Luck-Changer: Ran Begs for Mercy at the Start

"Thank you for waiting for me so late."

"But don't worry, nothing unexpected will happen to me."

Izuki Karita could tell that Sherry was not as cold and strong as she appeared on the surface.

That was just a disguise Shirley deliberately wore at the distillery.

Faced with things she couldn't resist, Shirley was always that little girl who would throw a tantrum and cry in the waiting room.

"..."

Shirley didn't say anything more and looked like she was asleep.

Izuki Karuta didn't care whether Sherry was really asleep or pretending.

He turned around, led her to the room, and slept with her in his arms.

By the time Shirley came to her senses, half an hour had passed.

Even though Izuki Qingtian hadn't done anything, Sherry felt as if time had jumped around.

The half hour I spent being held seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

Upon discovering that Izuki Karuta seemed to have fallen asleep, Sherry quietly slipped out of the room.

"What a weirdo, spouting all that weird nonsense."

Shirley muttered something to herself, then noticed herself in the mirror.

"What's there to be ashamed of? You stupid woman."

"Don't let excess hormones cloud your thinking!"

"The blanket is too hot! That must be it!"

……

The next day was Sunday.

Itake Karuda continues his vacation.

But I wouldn't mind hosting Kobayashi Sumiko, who comes to offer money.

Reception room,

Sumiko Kobayashi took out 200 million yen in cash.

This is as payment for the help Izuki Karuta provided yesterday, and for the misfortune-repelling service that will be offered later.

Izuki Karuta accepted the money and told Kobayashi Sumiko to prepare for yoga practice.

Although Kobayashi Sumiko was hesitant and somewhat shy,

But in the end, one should let go of the superfluous and practice yoga with the utmost devotion.

Izuki Karuta didn't know if Kobayashi Sumiko was too afraid or had simply forgotten.

They didn't even remind him to wrap himself in the black cloth.

"Mr. Yizhu, is the room... too stuffy?"

Kobayashi Sumiko's cheeks were flushed, and a bead of sweat uncontrollably slid down onto the tatami mat.

Izuki Karuta patiently explained, "You're doing yoga, which is a form of exercise, so of course you'll feel hot."

"Please keep practicing. I will stop you when you find the right posture."

Sumiko Kobayashi didn't ask any more questions and continued practicing according to the yoga diagrams.

As she looked at him, Izuki Karuta noticed that Kobayashi Sumiko was somewhat different from others.

At first, Kobayashi Sumiko was very reserved, and her every move was unnatural.

But after a while, as if some restraints had been broken, it gradually loosened its grip.

Everyone else gets more and more tired the more they practice.

Sumiko Kobayashi, however, became more and more energetic with each practice session.

And her eyes were sparkling, as if she really enjoyed being looked at like that.

Watching Sumiko Kobayashi sweat profusely yet still tirelessly and diligently practice yoga...

Izuki Karuta vaguely felt that this was Kobayashi Sumiko's true, most deeply hidden personality.

Chapter 73 Judy, who came to my door, I won't be polite.

Seeing that Kobayashi Sumiko was enjoying her yoga practice so much,

Izuki Karita stopped her in time, asking her to hold one of the yoga poses for one minute.

Then, the ceremony was declared complete, and Kobayashi Sumiko was told to tidy up and leave.

Before even discussing cooperation, they started a transaction. Izuki Qingtian had already learned this the hard way from Sherry once, and she didn't want to cause trouble a second time.

"Oh……"

Sumiko Kobayashi seemed unsatisfied, with a hint of disappointment on her face.

While seeing Kobayashi Sumiko off,

As luck would have it, they ran into Ran Mouri, who was wearing a short skirt and had come to help with the cleaning.

Sumiko Kobayashi is Conan's homeroom teacher, so Ran Mouri naturally knows her.

"Ms. Kobayashi, what's wrong...?"

Ran Mouri's gaze darted back and forth between Sumiko Kobayashi and Karuta Itake's faces.

I quickly noticed the unnatural blush on Kobayashi Sumiko's face.

Then he took a deep look at Izuki Karuta.

Ran Mouri has clearly misunderstood.

Izuki Shigeta is a man of action and responsibility, but he doesn't want people to misunderstand what he didn't do.

"I……"

"Miss Ran, please don't misunderstand, Mr. Izuki didn't do anything strange to me!" Kobayashi Sumiko quickly explained.

It would have been better if he hadn't explained; the more he did, the more suspicious Ran Mouri became.

Izuki Karuta also felt that Kobayashi Sumiko's words were making things worse the more she tried to explain.

After that, Ran Mouri didn't press further about what had happened, but instead inquired about why Sumiko Kobayashi had come to visit.

That's when I found out what happened last night.

"No wonder Dad said Conan came home so late yesterday."

"Mr. Izuki, you've saved Conan again."

"On behalf of Conan, I thank you."

Ran Mouri bowed respectfully.

No wonder Conan was unusually quiet during breakfast.

It turns out that Izuki Karuta saved her life, and her limelight was stolen.

Normally, when Conan encounters a case, he would want to tell everyone about it eight hundred times.

"I will definitely try my best to discipline Conan from now on!"

Ran Mouri also learned from Sumiko Kobayashi about Conan's attitude towards his savior last night.

Now, both Sumiko Kobayashi and Ran Mouri have a common goal: to be stricter with Conan and correct his many bad habits!

After Kobayashi Sumiko left

Ran Mouri entered Itake's house and began her daily cleaning duties.

To avoid making things worse,

Izuki Karuta was too lazy to explain anything more about her relationship with Kobayashi Sumiko.

I was just about to go out and try my luck, to see if I could run into any unlucky people.

Then another guest arrived.

A blonde, blue-eyed, wavy-haired foreign woman.

Light blue eyes, striking red lips, and short, refreshing blonde hair.

She looks to be in her late twenties, radiating the charm of a mature woman.

"I heard there's a really handsome fortune teller here."

"I guess you are Mr. Yizhu?"

The woman stopped Izuki Karuta and asked her a question in Sakura-speaker with a slight accent.

"I'm not going to work today."

"This is my business card. Please call to make an appointment tomorrow."
