Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

"What did you say?!"

After hearing what Sonoko said, the smug smile on Ota Masaru's face froze instantly. It was fine that this nympho didn't testify for him as he had thought, but who was this woman?

Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki?

These two names were unfamiliar to him, but he had heard them more than once from the mouths of those rich people.

A little-known detective and an invincible queen of the legal world, with these two as their background...

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing. Xiaolan's boyfriend is the famous detective Kudo Shinichi. If Shinichi knew you wanted to harass his girlfriend..."

Sonoko didn't finish the rest of the words, but without her saying anything, Ota Katsu could already tell that she was threatening him.

Unfortunately, he had to swallow this threat. Detectives in this world, especially famous ones, were mythical in the eyes of the public. As long as they were willing, it seemed there was no case they couldn't solve.

"What if I really mess with these guys and they find out..."

A trace of gloom appeared on Ota Katsu's face, and he even had the thought of killing several people on the spot.

However, after considering the other party's identity and the environment at the scene, he had to suppress this thought, and a flattering look appeared on his face:

"So that's how it is! Since she's the daughter of the Mori family, I must have offended her! Miss, please forgive me and let me go!"

As he spoke, he endured the pain, got up from the ground, and bowed deeply to Xiaolan.

"Huh? Uh, well, I..."

Xiaolan was a little confused by the other party's sudden apology. She looked at Sonoko and then at Conan, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

She really didn't know what she should do in this situation.

"Well, it seems that we need to think of a way to improve Xiaolan's autonomy!"

Looking at the somewhat flustered Xiaolan in front of him, Conan shook his head in his heart.

Unlike Ai, the little queen seems to be very dependent on herself, but in fact, she has her own ideas and things she wants to do.

And what about Xiaolan? She truly put everything she had into Kudo, as if she were his appendage. Everything she did was to make herself "worthy" of Kudo.

Including the criticized scene of pulling the curtains in the original work, the essence of this was because Xiaolan relied too much on Kudo and thought that if Kudo appeared here, she would definitely make the same choice, so she did this.

It can be said that in the original plot, sometimes Xiaolan was deliberately made kind just for the sake of the "angel" setting.

And after knowing that she was Kudo and that Kudo had always been by her side, Xiaolan in front of her seemed to have a backbone and became too dependent on herself and the people around her.

"But, what can I do to help Xiaolan grow?"

Looking at Xiaolan and thinking about this question, Conan fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Sonoko looked at Xiaolan's eyes asking for help and didn't know what to say.

She and Xiaolan are best friends, but she can't make decisions for Xiaolan in this matter! After all, Xiaolan is the victim, whether it is forgiveness or accountability, everything must be decided by Xiaolan herself.

Xiaolan looked at her two friends with a confused look on her face, not knowing what to say.

Thus, the environment at the scene fell into a strange silence.

The only one who was a little miserable was probably Ota Katsu. After all, everyone else was standing, but he was the only one who endured the severe pain on his cheek, hunched over, and stood in front of Xiaolan, trembling and waiting for the person in front of him to speak.

"Hey, forget it, Xiaolan, what do you think?"

Finally, under the pleading eyes of her best friend, Yuanzi couldn't help but come to her rescue.

"I, I think Mr. Ota should have learned his lesson, so let's leave it at that."

Looking at Ota Masaru in front of her, facing Sonoko's question, Xiaolan thought for a while and spoke.

In her opinion, since Ota had learned his lesson, he shouldn't do anything bad again, right? Moreover, after all, she was the one who attacked her first, and since he didn't pursue it, this should be fine!

Yuanzi looked at Xiaolan helplessly. She thought Xiaolan wanted to make some request, so she was embarrassed to speak. Unexpectedly, this is it? No, since you are willing to accept the other party's apology, why do you still ask me for help?

Thinking of this, Sonoko also had a headache, but who let Xiaolan be her closest best friend? So, she turned to look at Ota and said viciously:

"Did you hear that? My Xiaolan forgives your rudeness! Why don't you leave now?"

"Thank you Miss Maori for your understanding!"

Seeing this, Ota Katsu hunched his body and retreated from the room. However, after he walked out of the room, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, inside the house, Yuanzi looked at Xiaolan in front of her:

"Xiao Lan, since you are willing to accept his apology, why don't you just say it directly!"

"Well, seeing a stranger suddenly bow to me, I was a little panicked for a moment..."

Xiaolan smiled awkwardly at Yuanzi:

"Sonoko, thank you."

"It's okay, we are good sisters~"

Yuanzi waved his hand nonchalantly:

"But, Xiaolan, I think you should change your personality."

"this......"

When Xiaolan was about to say something, Conan stood up and said to Xiaolan:

"I also think Sister Xiaolan's character needs some work!"

"Huh? Conan, why are you saying that too?"

Seeing Conan say this, Xiaolan's expression became a little embarrassed. It would be fine if her best friend said it, but how could she say that to the person she likes?

"Is there really something wrong with my personality?"

Thinking of this, Xiaolan fell into deep thought.
