Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Qi Ming stared at Suzuki Sonoko with his eyes wide open.

"I saw them appear, but where did they go?"

"Forehead."

Sonoko Suzuki scratched her head somewhat awkwardly.

"After all, action scenes are quite dangerous. I did add a lot of moves at the beginning, but none of my classmates could do them."

"And look, all the grunts ran away in a flash, which is almost the same as taking them down in a flash."

"..."

Qi Ming understands now.

Whether it was Sonoko Suzuki's previous marketing claim that the play was comparable to Romeo and Juliet, or the recent spoiler...

It seems that the most exciting parts are often just the trailers.

After the soldiers ran away, the play came to its final act.

After delivering her confession lines, Ran Mouri looked deeply affectionate and said to the black knight, played by Renya Karasuma:

"If you haven't forgotten the vow we made when we were young, please leave a mark on my lips."

Karasuma Renya nodded, and then their heads drew closer and closer...

Conan, who initially tried to remain calm, eventually widened his eyes in disbelief.

No, I have to go up and stop it!

Even if it's a fake kiss, this scene is still incredibly impactful!

"Wow, Sister Xiaolan's acting is amazing! Wow, wow!"

Conan rushed forward, waving his hands and shouting loudly. Then, without hesitation, he climbed onto the stage and stood between the two.

"Sister Xiaolan, your outfit is so beautiful! Was it custom-made?"

"..."

Conan's shout made it impossible for this scene to continue.

“…Oh dear, this little rascal.”

Sonoko Suzuki walked forward, somewhat annoyed.

"Hey kid, what are you doing? This is the last scene, and you're still causing trouble! Do you really hate kissing scenes that much?"

"Hey Hey."

Conan scratched his head awkwardly.

"Conan, we didn't really kiss, it was just a fake kiss."

Shinichi must be jealous, right?

Ran Mouri glanced at Conan, then bent down to explain.

"Where did this kid come from? Our rehearsal was just one step away from being completed perfectly."

"Yeah, aren't they just here to cause trouble?"

The extras and stuntmen came out from backstage with helpless expressions and glared at Conan with resentment.

"I'm sorry, everyone."

Conan had no choice but to force a laugh to cover up his embarrassment.

These scouts were also his classmates, and he never expected that he would have to call them brothers now.

"The most important parts of this play are all at the beginning. Anyway, there's only one last step left, so it's not a big deal. The rehearsal was quite successful."

A magnetic voice rang out in the room as the black-clad knight spoke calmly, then removed his helmet.

The extras exchanged glances and echoed, "Since Professor Karasuma has said so, then there's no problem."

"That's settled then. I'll go back and review the lines again."

"..."

Conan stared blankly at Karasuma Renya.

Is this person Qi Ming's enemy, or their comrade?

But something seems off; for some reason, I can always sense a strong dark aura emanating from the other person.

It was the same feeling he had when he saw those people in the organization before.

Noticing Conan's gaze, Karasuma Renya also looked down at the young detective.

He actually wanted to smile at Conan, but he just couldn't manage to.

Because he received a video from Qi Ming yesterday, which contained the exact words Vermouth said during her self-introduction.

It's important to know that Vermouth was one of the people he trusted.

And that's how this person he trusted treated him.

When Conan saw Karasuma Renya looking at him, a sudden sense of oppression made him involuntarily look away.

This person has a somewhat intimidating aura.

Fortunately, several female classmates from behind the scenes came out and handed Karasuma Renya water and towels. Karasuma Renya's gaze shifted, and Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder he comes from a mysterious organization; only someone like him could stand against Qi Ming.

"Mr. Qi Ming, Ai, you've come too?"

Seeing Qi Ming and Ai Haibara walking towards them from not far away, Ran Mouri waved and smiled at them.

"Well, those kids wanted to come and observe beforehand, so we came along too."

Qi Ming responded, then looked at Karasuma Renya.

Seeing the two of them looking at each other, Conan couldn't help but pull Ran Mouri back a few steps.

Now that these two have met, what will they do next?

A moment later, Qi Ming, with a smile on his face, spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Long time no see. You seem to be living a very comfortable life."

Qi Ming had already started to lose his composure when he saw the girls smiling as they served tea and water to Karasuma Renya.

This life is truly blissful!

Last time you made so many promises to me, I thought you'd be busy with planning at school, but instead you're here playing music and dancing.

Although I say I'm playing around, I treat work like play.

You old codger, you're treating this place like a job, aren't you?

"..."

Upon hearing Qi Ming speak to her, Karasuma Renya's eyes narrowed.

The tone was somewhat directed at him, and he seemed to understand Qi Ming's thoughts.

He glanced silently at Conan and Heiji Hattori.

Qi Ming was probably trying to establish an adversarial relationship between the two detectives by deliberately speaking in such a barbed tone.

Heh, looks like the performance just ended, and now they're starting another one? Interesting.

No matter how hard Karasuma Renya thought about it, she couldn't understand why Qi Ming was simply upset because a girl had brought him water and a towel earlier.

Although Karasuma Renya is intellectually on the highest level, as the saying goes, a novice can defeat a master.

They thought the other party was testing them, but in reality, the other party just went all out.

Without needing much time to consider, Karasuma Renya also wore a smile.

"This is the normal life for me, not being elated by external gains or saddened by personal losses. In the end, you are being a bit too extreme."

When Karasuma Renya said those words, the knowledgeable Conan and Hattori Heiji instantly realized the difference in their levels of understanding.

After Qi Ming defected from that organization, he became arrogant and domineering, while the people who truly belonged to that organization maintained a Buddhist-like attitude and kept a low profile.

Even Qi Ming, who was unfamiliar with the subject, understood what Karasuma Renya meant.

Is Old Biden getting a little too arrogant?

"You're saying I'm extreme?"

For a moment, Qi Ming forgot that he had just been intelligently reinforcing the antagonistic relationship between himself and Karasuma Renya by having Conan and Hattori Heiji help him.

He simply thought that Karasuma Renya was mocking him.

Qi Ming beckoned to Karasuma Renya with his finger.

"Come on, let's have a fight."

When Karasuma Renya heard Qi Ming's words, he understood again.

Qi Ming wanted him to play an exhibition match to create a scene where the two were evenly matched!

That way, Conan and Heiji Hattori will completely trust that he is capable of dealing with him!

Karasuma Renya's eyes deepened, and he nodded.

"Since you asked, let's give it a try."
