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

A piece of wood with grooves was filled with water and placed on the fire to burn.

The excess wood was quickly burned.

However, the layer of wood that was in contact with the water never burned through.

A wooden bowl fired in a fire is thus completed.

The snowmelt water is relatively clean, and it's located in a mountainous area.

When the water temperature rose to a relatively warm level, Itake Karuta handed the bowl to Kazuha.

"Thanks……"

Kazuha looked grateful and drank half a bowl of water in one gulp.

Then he handed the remaining half bowl to Izuki Karuda.

Izuki Qingtian did far more work than she did, and she was already so thirsty; Izuki Qingtian was even more so.

"I'll drink it later..."

Izuki Karuta declined, but Kazuha continued to hold the wooden bowl.

It seems I have no choice but to drink it.

Izuki Karita could only drink the remaining half bowl of water.

He Ye then smiled, and then scooped up a bowl of river water and put it on the fire to boil.

About ten minutes later, the aroma of meat inside the snow house grew stronger.

"Mr. Yizhu, here you go!"

Kazuha proudly handed the grilled fish to Itake Karuta.

Although it was her first time grilling fish, the food was precious, so Kazuha was extremely careful and didn't burn the fish.

"You're hungrier, you eat first."

Itake Karuta pushed the fish back to Kazuha.

"No, you go first."

"You've accomplished a lot today."

"Help me keep warm, take me to climb snow caves, build a snow hut, find wood, start a fire, catch fish..."

As Kazuha was talking, tears suddenly started falling.

"Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Izuki Karita smiled and helped Kazuha wipe away her tears.

People are generally more vulnerable when they encounter disasters, especially when they are close to death.

It's normal to shed tears.

"I...I was afraid you'd die..."

"In that case, I'll die here too."

There were some things Kazuha couldn't say.

For example, she owes Izuki Karuta too much.

"Why don't we each eat half?"

"You won't go hungry."

As Izuki Karuta spoke, he casually pulled Kazuha into his arms.

The two of them ate a total of three large fish: two for Itake Karuta and one for Kazuha.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, He Ye felt much better.

However, a blizzard was still raging outside, and rescue was not possible for the time being.

There were no entertainment options in the snow hut, so the two could only chat to pass the time.

"Mr. Yizhu, why are you so kind to me?"

"If it's just for money, there's no need to go to this extent, right?"

He asked Ye.

"The wages of avarice is death."

"Besides, I've worked so hard, even if I don't bring it up myself."

"Miss Kazuha will give me even more compensation, won't she?"

When faced with questions from customers, Izuki Shigeta already had a well-established set of explanations.

"...What if I don't give you extra money?"

Kazuha seemed a little sullen.

"That 100 million yen is enough."

Izuki Karuta didn't care.

Anyway, I still have over 100 million yen in cash in my bank account.

"You just said it was for making money."

"Now they act like they don't care about money at all."

“I knew it, Mr. Yizhu, you were lying.”

Kazuha pointed out the flaws in his words with a hint of smugness.

"But that's just who I am."

"Give more if you're willing, or just the basic price if you're not."

"Miss Kazuha, believe it or not."

Izuki Karuta was too lazy to continue arguing with Kazuha.

"I do not believe."

"You must be..."

"It must be because..."

Kazuha's voice grew softer and softer.

"You think too much."

Izuki Qingtian caught a few words and replied casually.

"You clearly are!"

Kazuha, however, glared angrily at Izuki Shigeta as if she had suffered some great injustice.

She had already taken advantage of Yizhu Qingtian, and yet Yizhu Qingtian had gone to such lengths to save and help her.

Kazuha didn't believe that Itsuki Karuta had no feelings for her at all.

"If I really were..."

"Miss Kazuha, you've already been devoured by me."

Izuki Karuta gave a nonchalant response.

These words seemed to provoke Kazuha.

Kazuha suddenly turned around to face Itake Karuta.

The zipper on the coat had been undone at some point.

Feeling the girl's beautiful figure and her adorable, shy, and pouty expression, Izuki Shizuta's heart skipped a beat.

"Okay, okay, I admit I like you."

"I just want your body."

"Okay."

Izuki Karuta quickly flipped Kazuha back onto the other side.

Sure enough, beautiful women always have a strange competitive spirit.

He only saved Kazuha on a whim because he was after some evil energy and money.

I have no idea what Kazuha has imagined.

"You're just giving me the runaround again..."

Kazuha felt even more aggrieved.

Didn't I already admit that I like you?

Izuki Karuta was completely baffled, having no idea what she had said that had upset Kazuha.

The saying "a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea" is indeed true.

It's precisely because we don't want this kind of troublesome situation to occur,
