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

"With him around, it's safer."

After Eri finished speaking, she asked Ran Mouri if there was anything else.

Ran Mouri shook her head, and was quickly asked to leave the office by Eri Kisaki, who said she had an important phone call to make.

After leaving the office, Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief.

First, I didn't see Izuki Karuta in the office.

Secondly, Eri Kisaki also agreed to let Karuda Itake go with her.

After the last bandaged monster incident

Ran Mouri also realized that even if she knew karate, she might not be able to defend herself against conspiracies and assassinations.

With Itake Karuta around, there's no need to worry about safety anymore.

Furthermore, this is a rare opportunity.

This could be a good opportunity to pay off some of the debts...

Thinking this, Ran Mouri blushed slightly and quickly said goodbye to Midori Kuriyama before leaving.

And at this moment,

Inside the office.

"This time, we were just lucky..."

"Next time, next time if you dare to do this again..."

"I definitely, definitely, definitely..."

Eri Kisaki said through gritted teeth,

He was so angry that he even started to stutter.

As for who to say it to?

Naturally, it was Itake Karuta.

"Eri, is your aura strong enough?"

"How can this scare people?"

At this moment, Izuki Karuta is still in Eri Kisaki's mental illusion.

He and Eri had already reached the end of the Mind's Illusion and were enjoying themselves.

Izuki Karita also went to see the backyard of the cabin and took care of the flowers she had planted last time.

Clearly, Eri Kisaki took good care of the flowers during his absence.

The few weeds that were initially visible have now been completely cleared away.

The lawn in front of the cabin had been carefully trimmed, showing that Eri had put thought into it.

Just as Izuki Karita was about to linger a little longer in the mental illusion, she heard a knock on the door.

Knowing that this is Eri Kisaki's nap time,

Furthermore, Eri Kisaki also stated that she had no clients with appointments.

Art Qingtian immediately became suspicious.

Using his aura to sense the presence, he indeed discovered that it was Ran Mouri who had arrived.

At that time, Eri Kisaki was in a state of panic, flustered and at a loss.

If Ran Mouri were to catch them meeting in private, it would definitely lead to an inexplicable misunderstanding.

Izuki Karita remained calm and composed, her movements fluid and seamless.

Simply drape the curtains over your shoulders, assume a horse stance, stand behind the desk, and pretend to be a chair.

While Eri was worrying about whether she could get away with it, Ran Mouri pushed open the door and walked in.

Fei Ying's mind was in turmoil, and under such circumstances, her true intentions would definitely be noticed.

Therefore, Izuki Karita stood still, using himself as the core of the formation, and deployed the illusion array.

Using illusion magic, they created a virtual Eri Kisaki, replacing her real answer with a bland and ordinary tone.

It was this illusion that led to the words that allowed Ran Mouri to enter.

Ran Mouri could not hear or see anything inside the formation.

However, both Izuki and Eri can hear Ran Mouri speaking.

And she used an illusion to answer in place of Eri Kisaki.

However, in most of the conversations, Izuki Karuda pieced together her answers based on Eri Kisaki's stammering and flustered explanations.

This includes Eri Kisaki's attitude towards Kogoro Mouri, and her decision to agree to go out with Karuta Itake.

"Eri, now you can focus on your work."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Xiaolan while we're away."

Izuki Karuta wandered around the mental illusion for a while longer before leaving the office with a smile.

With a simple fantasy, Izuki Karita avoided Kuriyama Midori's gaze.

After Izuki Karuta left, Eri Kisaki asked Kuriyama Midori to postpone the scheduled meeting with the client by one hour.

During that hour, Eri Kisaki managed to calm down the trouble caused by Karuta Itake's mischief.

For example, cleaning the floor,

In the chaos just now, I accidentally spilled the water glass.

The drink in the glass spilled all over the floor, so we had to open the window to ventilate the room.

"So, Xiaolan really didn't notice just now...?"

Eri Kisaki sat in her original office chair, her emotions still unsettled.

Another day passed.

At the door of Yizhu's house.

After disguising herself, Kudo Yukiko frowned as she looked at the "Closed for Business" sign hanging at the entrance.

In the past few days, Yukiko conducted a more detailed investigation and found that there were all sorts of rumors about Itake Karuta.

Some say he is accurate and can predict death.

Some say he's a womanizer, even his assistant is a stunning beauty.

Some say he's greedy and would do anything for money.

Yukiko found it increasingly mysterious, and even noticed that Izuki Karuta's record included something related to Eri Kisaki.

As a longtime best friend, Yukiko secretly went to Eri Kisaki's apartment last night to ask Eri Kisaki what she thought of Karuichi Itsuki.

Eri Kisaki's answer was simple: Never get involved with Itsuki Karuda.

This only fueled Yukiko's curiosity, but Eri refused to reveal what had happened.

But the more this was the case, the more Yukiko wanted to meet Itake Karuta.

To be on the safe side, Yukiko prepared various props and postponed her arrival by one day.

Then I saw a sign that said the store was temporarily closed.

When they went to the Mori office again, there was indeed no one there.

"Conan! You dare to side with outsiders!"

"Just you wait, I'll definitely teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Yukiko believes that Conan tipped her off.

"Ah sneeze——!"

Inside the car traveling on the snowy mountain road, Conan suddenly sneezed.

Izuki Karuta was driving, Conan was in the passenger seat, and Sonoko and Ran Mouri were in the back seat.

"You caught a cold so quickly."

"That kid's physical fitness is just terrible!"

Sonoko, sitting in the back seat, took the opportunity to make fun of Conan.

Sonoko accidentally joined a magician chat group online, and after chatting with several members for a while, they arranged to meet in person today.

Kogoro Mouri won't be able to return to Japan for quite some time, and with only Conan left at the agency and no one to look after him, he has no choice but to come along.

As a result, Conan caught a cold as soon as he got off the plane and is now wearing a mask.

"If you give me your cold, I'm never taking you out again!"

Sonoko was really looking forward to this meeting, thinking that there were some handsome guys in the group.

Unusually, Conan didn't retaliate against Sonoko this time and behaved himself the whole way.

The main concern was that Sonoko might actually send him back to Mika.
