Just as Shinichi Kudo was about to shout out that name, the blond youth calmly glanced at him, and Shinichi's words caught in his throat.

He awkwardly swallowed what he was about to say.

Wow, this sense of oppression is too strong!

Shinichi Kudo recalled the fear of being dominated by the three Heroic Spirits he had faced a few days earlier.

Of course, as a detective, he is fearless in his pursuit of truth and justice, but King Arthur's identity is not related to anything evil. On the contrary, if it were exposed, there would definitely be other troubles.

After all, he had been harassed by many people these past few days. If he weren't a public figure, and if for some reason, many people seemed to have given up, he would have been able to go out with Xiaolan in peace.

Thinking of this, Shinichi Kudo's expression instantly changed: "Long time no see, haha, haha."

Eriri's previously wary gaze immediately turned suspicious again. Had this guy actually figured it out? After all, Shinichi Kudo had been in close contact with Arthur before.

Shinichi Kudo winked at her.

Eriri immediately understood and replied irritably, "It's better that we didn't see it! You unlucky guy!"

Shinichi Kudo felt wronged: "Where did I go wrong?!"

Eriri started counting on her fingers without any hesitation: "The first time, someone died in the coffee shop; the second time, there was an explosion at the concert and a ghost appeared; this time, the movie theater... the movie theater..."

The blonde girl herself felt a little uneasy as she spoke, and she tugged at Arthur's sleeve: "I think we should go somewhere else."

"That's superstition!" Shinichi Kudo said, clearly annoyed.

Ran Mouri's expression was a little strange: "Come to think of it, it seems to be true. Every time I go out with Shinichi, we run into a case." There's never been a proper date.

"Ah, you really are a jinx." Eriri squinted at him.

Shinichi Kudo tried to salvage the situation: "The case is calling for a detective!"

"Isn't that still bad luck?!" Eriri realized the crux of the matter.

"Those are two different things, okay!"

Arthur looked left and right, then chuckled, "Actually, we have a pretty good relationship."

"how is this possible?"

"Absolutely not!"

The two gave a very similar response.

Of course, that's what she said, but Eriri was still unwilling to let their rare date fall through so inexplicably. She clung to Arthur's arm and was very careful throughout the movie.

But nothing happened.

Shinichi Kudo was quite smug about this: "I told you nothing would happen!"

Eriri rolled her eyes: "Who knows? Maybe it's just bad luck that hasn't struck yet."

"Hey!" This guy is too troublesome, Shinichi Kudo thought. Ran is much better!

However, his beloved childhood friend Ran Mouri is currently having a happy chat with Arthur, and the two are in a harmonious atmosphere.

"Mr. Arthur is really amazing!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

……

"Damn it!" Shinichi Kudo gritted his teeth. He suddenly recalled his previous deductions: the indifference to the dead, the noble demeanor, and the powerful skills. How could anyone have known that he was actually King Arthur? Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like this!

So... could Ran have fallen for him?! Even if Shinichi Kudo is arrogant, he knows how attractive the identity of King Arthur is to girls.

"Aren't you going to stop it either?" Shinichi Kudo tried to strike up a conversation with Eriri.

Eriri glanced at him, looking indifferent: "Why should I stop you?"

Shinichi Kudo chuckled. "If you hadn't already torn the tissue to shreds, I might have believed you a little."

Despite the awkward atmosphere, the four of them went to a restaurant together.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

The restaurant's waiters had rare blond hair and dark skin, handsome features, and gentle smiles.

Eriri didn't even look at it: "One of everything is fine."

"No need, is it? Can we finish it?" Shinichi Kudo exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Eriri waved her hand, remembering her previous doubts about Arthur's appetite.

Arthur smiled good-naturedly.

Shinichi Kudo also thought of Arthur's identity and fell silent, wondering if this was the special characteristic of Heroic Spirits? Does having a large appetite count?

Ran Mouri was the only one present who seemed quite puzzled, but out of trust in Shinichi Kudo, she didn't say anything.

The blonde waiter's smile remained unchanged: "Okay, please wait a moment."

Is that high school detective Shinichi Kudo?

As a double agent, Shinichi Kudo, whose real name is Rei Furuya and whose current alias is Tooru Amuro, is naturally well-informed. In addition, even though the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Bureau are not part of the same system, Shinichi Kudo is well-known among the police.

Not to mention that Shinichi Kudo had previously had close contact with three Heroic Spirits. Given that his superiors had ordered him not to approach the Nakano sisters, Shinichi Kudo was a good opportunity to break through.

Thinking of this, Amuro Tooru couldn't help but glance at their table with a subtle look.

Shinichi Kudo goes without saying, Ran Mouri appears to be Shinichi Kudo's girlfriend, and the blonde girl opposite... judging from Tooru Amuro's own example, she should be of mixed race, and that blonde young man...

The man was quite perceptive, noticing Amuro Tooru's gaze almost instantly. His emerald eyes fixed on him, not sharp, yet seemingly able to see right through him.

Amuro Tooru subconsciously avoided his gaze, but a thin layer of sweat instantly broke out on his back.

That was a stress response to danger, and also a kind of intuition. It can be said that Amuro Tooru relied on this intuition to avoid many life-or-death crises.

who's that person?

Amuro Tooru begins a brainstorming session; this sense of oppression is definitely not something an ordinary person can feel!

After all the food was served, Amuro Tooru was even more certain that this man was definitely not an ordinary person! How could an ordinary person eat so much!

Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri were also dumbfounded. No matter how elegant the blond youth's movements were, they couldn't hide the fact that he had eaten far too much.

Neither of them touched their chopsticks; they seemed to have had their fill of looking at the food.

"Hey, have some water." Ran Mouri kindly handed over the cup.

"Thank you." Arthur downed his drink in one gulp and smiled gratefully.

Shinichi Kudo winked at Eriri: "He's always like this?"

Eriri looks up at the sky: Yes.

Shinichi Kudo looked at her with pity: You've worked hard.

Eriri coughed lightly: I'm fine.

But as long as Shinichi Kudo is around, things are bound to be anything but peaceful. With a scream, another case breaks out.

With Eriri's eyes filled with "You still say you're not a jinx," Shinichi Kudo went off to his case without looking back.

“I’ll go help.” Arthur stood up. After all, the restaurant was in complete chaos. Although the blond waiter was helping, if the customers were allowed to continue their panic, it would damage the scene and cause some disturbance before the police arrived.

"Please be careful, Eriri," Arthur carefully instructed Eriri. "If you encounter any problems, please call me immediately."

"Okay, I understand, you can go now." Eriri nodded.

Only two girls remained in the room.

Ran Mouri was clearly in low spirits.

As a fellow girl, Eriri still felt a bit sorry for Ran Mouri.

"Unbelievable." Eriri looked at Ran Mouri. As a girl herself, her standards were even higher, but even by Eriri's standards, she thought Ran Mouri was pure-looking and had a good temperament, not inferior to Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had the same name as her. "Why would you fall for that mystery fanatic!"

Ran Mouri blushed and said, "No, Shinichi and I actually grew up together."

She stared at her tiny reflection in the drink in the porcelain cup, her face flushed with embarrassment: "Actually, although Shinichi is obsessed with cases and often leaves me alone to solve them, he's only interested in Sherlock Holmes on a daily basis..." The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and the more she gritted her teeth. In a fit of anger, the beautiful girl crushed the porcelain cup in her hand.

Eriri: "..." Speechless.

What kind of girl has such incredible strength?!

Eriri immediately shut her mouth. She wasn't like Kasumigaoka, who was always sarcastic and sharp-tongued regardless of the situation. If she got punched, she would definitely die without Arthur by her side!

"...But, but Shinichi is kind, smart, and has a strong sense of justice, I know that," Ran Mouri smiled at Eriri like an angel, "Shinichi has always protected me, so I will always support him, I believe in him!"

Eriri was taken aback, a strange emotion welling up inside her. She smiled and said, "Well, although I don't really like him, I still wish you both happiness."

Ran Mouri stammered, quickly waving her hands, "No, we're just... childhood friends, I guess." There was a bitter undertone in her voice. She didn't know how to define her relationship with Shinichi. Friends? Too distant. Classmates? Even more distant. Even though Ran liked Shinichi, she had rarely received a clear response.

Yinglili: "..."

The blonde girl pursed her lips; she and Arthur must have felt the same way.
