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

Having only eaten breakfast, Yukiko was now thirsty and hungry, her stomach rumbling.

His gaze was fixed on the wooden bowl covering the food.

And those two wild fruits next to the plate look delicious.

"They actually dared to sleep right on the grass."

"And they even put the food next to it!"

"Snakes like warm places like this."

"That's going to be quite a show!"

Despite having no food or water, Yukiko maintained an optimistic attitude.

I firmly believe that I should stay in the helicopter at night.

But who knew,

Using himself as the core of the formation, Izuki Shigeta set up a small array around himself.

Let alone poisonous snakes,

Even ants, if they enter the formation's range and sense the pervasive aura of danger and death, will hurriedly begin to move away.

So, until the campfire grew dimmer and dimmer...

Yukiko still didn't see the scene she was hoping for.

All was quiet, with only the faint chirping of insects in the forest.

And the crackling sound of the campfire burning slowly.

Izuki Karuta was lying on the grass, fast asleep.

Yukiko also wanted to sleep.

The aroma of barbecue kept wafting over, making it impossible for Yukiko to fall asleep.

"This is all due to your own carelessness..."

"Don't blame me..."

After muttering something to herself, Yukiko quietly opened the helicopter door.

He tiptoed to the fire and took the roasted bird meat and the two pieces of fruit from the bowl.

Back in the helicopter, Yukiko ate grilled meat and fruit with gusto.

My stomach is finally no longer empty, and I can lie down and sleep in my seat.

Gulu——!

But she hadn't been asleep for long.

Yukiko's stomach started making noises again.

But it's not a sign of being hungry...

Six o'clock in the morning,

Izuki Karuta opened her eyes as the morning sun shone down.

The air is fresh, birds are singing, and flowers are blooming; the natural scenery is breathtaking.

Walked to the helicopter,

Inside the helicopter, Yukiko's face was pale, with obvious dark circles under her eyes, and she looked like she was about to collapse.

Of course, this is what Yukiko really looks like under the mask.

With the mask concealing her true appearance, Yukiko looks perfectly fine on the surface.

The roll of paper in the helicopter is almost used up.

"I still have work to do and don't want to waste any more time with you."

Izuki Karuta spoke first: "If you are willing to conclude a peace treaty, I will send you away from here and back to the city."

"If you're not willing, I'll just leave."

Izuki Karuda was well aware of Yukiko's current state.

Especially after eating deliberately undercooked bird meat and fruit that had begun to rot slightly inside.

Yukiko needs to consume saline solution and clean food in a timely manner.

If they haven't received treatment by evening, they might faint.

"..."

Yukiko gritted her teeth.

After almost a whole day of observation.

She also knew that it would be easy for Izuki Karuta to survive in this forest.

On the contrary, she had trouble even getting food and water.

Not to mention that my current physical condition doesn't allow it.

"You deliberately put in those problematic foods."

"You have the nerve to talk to me about a peace treaty?!"

Yukiko realized something was wrong when her stomach started hurting last night.

It's no surprise that this was a trap deliberately set by Izuki Karuta.

"You mean the undercooked bird meat?"

"I was afraid it would spoil, so I just roasted it over a fire for a short time."

"I was planning to save it for breakfast and then bake it... Could it be that you ate it?"

Izuki Karuta smiled at Yukiko: "You took it without asking and brought trouble upon yourself, yet you try to frame me."

"However, this style of doing things is very much in line with your ungrateful character."

His words, combined with his slapping and hitting, left Yukiko's face bright red.

Izuki Karuta continued:

Before blaming others, think about your own faults.

"I'll give you one last chance."

"If you don't agree to peace, then I'm leaving."

After saying that, he immediately started counting down 10 numbers.

"...Okay, peace, alright?"

Yukiko ultimately succumbed to her physical weakness and the torment of insomnia.

Especially last night when my stomach was hurting, I vaguely heard wolves howling.

Yukiko was so frightened that she was on high alert, constantly gripping her pistol.

Fortunately, there were no more wolf howls after that, otherwise the helicopter would smell extremely foul now.

"Give me food and water..."

"It needs to be clean and safe."

Yukiko opened the helicopter door with slightly trembling hands.

"You can buy that yourself when we get back to the city."

As Izuki Karuta spoke, he sat in the helicopter pilot's seat and let Yukiko take the co-pilot's seat.

"You want to fly back in a helicopter?"

"The engine broke down a long time ago..."

Yukiko was speaking,

Suddenly I heard the sound of the engine starting.

I instantly felt incredibly regretful.

The engine is working again?

Why didn't she try a few more times?!

What was the point of all that suffering she endured last night?!

Yukiko was filled with immense frustration.

Izuki Karuta piloted the helicopter, flying away from the desolate mountains and wilderness.

It eventually landed on a hospital helipad.

"One last reminder."

"If you dare to tear up the peace treaty first, then come and cause trouble."

"Don't blame me for being impolite then."
