Model worker and his little darling

Conan lowered his head, the faces of the people around him flashing through his mind. The thought that they might all die because of his appearance threw him into a state of turmoil.

Seeing Conan trembling and unconsciously gripping his clothes, Hirai's smile deepened. This was amusing.

After today's verbal attack, what will Conan do next? I'm really looking forward to it!

After a long silence, Conan looked up at Pingqing with a complicated expression. "Pingqing-nii, why are you suddenly telling me all this? You must have been thinking about these things for a long time."

Ping Qing's eyes flashed. "No, I just don't understand your thinking. If it were me, I would stay away from the organization and go as far away as possible. After all, staying alive is more important."

"Brother Pingqing, I don't know what to say or what to do right now."

Ping Qing shrugged. "That's your problem. Think it over carefully. I'm just an outsider. You handle your own affairs."

"Also, I think you'd better manage your expression and act normal when you get back, otherwise Xiaolan will come over and ask me what's wrong with you again. You don't want her to worry like that, do you?"

After talking to Conan last time, Conan often went back and spaced out by himself, which made Ran think that he had done something to Conan. She even came over to ask him about it. This time, he wanted to give him a heads-up.

Conan fell into deep thought again, while Hirai leaned lazily against the sofa, sleepy and tired.

After watching for a while, Heikichi picked up Conan and threw him back into the office.

It's late at night, don't disturb his sleep.

……

"Who exactly are you, the nameless knight shrouded in black, who has helped me so many times recently? If you are willing to grant this humble princess's wish, please remove your mask, which is as black as night, and show me your true face."

After listening to Ran's lines, Heisei nodded. The love story of the knight and the princess must have been written by Sonoko. No one else could have written such cheesy lines.

Ran's co-star is Uncle Mori, who says, "If this is the princess's wish, I would present this face, etched with ugly scars, to the princess under the moonlight."

After he finished his lines, he took off his mask, revealing an old face.

Pingqing turned his head, and the uncle's slightly lewd smile was hard to reconcile with the image of a knight.

This made Xiaolan unhappy too. "Dad, you're so annoying! Can't you be serious?" After saying that, Xiaolan looked at Pingqing and said, "Brother Pingqing, why don't you do it?"

Ping Qing quickly shook her head, "I can't come. I can't act. I think what the uncle said is quite right."

The middle-aged man threw the script on the table. "What kind of talk is this? How am I supposed to read such cheesy lines? Which love idiot wrote this disgusting script?"

Conan yawned to the side, glanced at the script, and deeply agreed with Uncle Mori's words.

"This was written by Sonoko. She said the Black Knight was based on Shinichi." She glanced at Conan after saying that, but unfortunately Conan didn't notice.

Pingqing blinked. Was this a Shinichi x Ran fanfiction created by Sonoko?

Uncle Mori flipped through the script and became very dissatisfied.

"Wait a minute, why does this say that the knight and the princess are passionately kissing?"

Upon hearing this, Conan quickly flipped through the script, and when he saw the kissing scene, he was completely taken aback.

"Sister Xiaolan, who will play the role of the Black Knight?"

"Actually, you all know him, he's the school doctor you met before, Dr. Shinichi. He's really amazing, whether it's with his lines or how he treats girls."

Pingqing looked at Xiaolan. These were all child's play to his sister, a movie queen just practicing her skills.

However, my sister is going to act in a play with Xiaolan and they'll even kiss! How exciting! I really want to go see it live.

But these words caused Uncle Mori and Conan's expressions to change drastically. Uncle Mori even grabbed Ran's shoulder, furiously exclaiming, "You can't act with him, you can't!"

Seeing the two of them looking nervous, Xiaolan covered her mouth and laughed.

"Don't be nervous, we just asked Dr. Araide to watch our practice. As for the knight, Sonoko said she can dress up as a boy and risk her life for the performance."

Hearing this, both of them felt much relieved.

"Xiaolan, may I watch your rehearsal?"

Conan also raised his hand, "Ran-neechan, I want to go too, I want to go too."

Xiaolan glanced at the time. "It's almost time for our agreed rehearsal. Let's go together. But you guys can't mess things up, okay?"

Uncle Mori was still a little worried and insisted on going along. And so, the three of them, including Hirai and Kiyoshi, followed Ran to Teitan High School.

Upon seeing Shinichiro Niide instructing students, the group greeted him warmly.

Uncle Mori stood with his arms crossed, watching Tomoaki Shinichi instruct Ran, looking utterly displeased. Conan also looked annoyed.

Pingqing looked at the expressions on their faces and was extremely happy.

If Conan and the old man knew that Araide Tomoaki was actually a woman, would they feel any better?

After watching for a while, Pingqing quietly walked up to Shinichiro and said, "Sister, it seems you've been having a lot of fun lately."

Shinichiro looked at the students rehearsing on stage and teased Hirai, "Hirai, I didn't expect to see you here. What big thing have you done to get punished lately?"

"It's nothing. The old man just thinks I talk too much and wants me to do more work."

"Haha...when you have time, I'll take you out to relax."

Upon hearing this, Pingqing asked curiously, "Where are we going? What are we doing?"

Shin-ide Tomoaki glanced at Hirakiyo, "What? You don't trust your older sister that much?"

Just then, Conan walked over, and the two ended their conversation.

"Brother Pingqing, Teacher Shinichi, what are you talking about?"

Hearing Conan's question, Araide Tomoaki patted Conan's head and said, "Hirai is curious about the specifics of the rehearsal, so I gave a brief introduction."

"Oh, I see, Mr. Shinichi..."

Seeing Conan asking all sorts of questions, Hiraki smiled. He was jealous.

After giving Conan a good talking-to a couple of days ago, I don't know what Conan is thinking now. I haven't seen him make any move. Could it be that he's planning to maintain the status quo?

Suddenly, another familiar face appeared.

"Ms. Judy!"

Upon seeing the person approaching, Conan instantly became alert, knowing that something bad was bound to happen when this person appeared.

Seeing Conan's alarmed expression, Araide Tomoaki was taken aback. Taira no Kiyoshi hadn't lied to her; Conan genuinely believed Jodie was suspicious.

After greeting the students, Judy walked over to Pingqing and the others.

"Teacher Shinichi, let me see if everything is alright."

"Of course no problem."

Seeing this, Ping Qing smiled and said, "Shin-ide-sensei, Jodie-sensei, you two go ahead with your work. Conan and I won't bother you any longer." After saying that, he led Conan back to Uncle Mouri's side.
