Ch.010 Shinichi: Ran , your mother is so wild
Location: Kisaki's Law firm.
Having only a few cases to handle, Eri Kisaki shouldered her bag and headed towards a narrow, charming street near Beika Town, the sounds of distant chatter weaving through the morning air.
Her tasks by the garbage system included wearing a variety of Sexy Lingerie clothes and sending pictures to Fujiwara Takuya, and she didn't forget about them.
Despite her unhappiness, she had to finish the task; the consequences of system failure were too severe.
In order to survive, this is the only way.
Eri wasted no time in locating a store that specialized in selling elegant lingerie.
For years, she'd known about the elegant lingerie shop, its window display a tantalizing mystery, but shyness and then the pain of her separation kept her away.
If not for the system task requiring a clothing purchase, Eri wouldn't have even considered visiting this store, let alone browsing its selections.
"Ran, is that your mother just now? I saw her head into a shop for couples' clothes."
Kisaki Eri was seen by a boy and two girls in the street.
A familiar feeling washed over Sonoko Suzuki as she looked at Kisaki Eri's back, sparking her curiosity.
Shinichi Kudo was silent. Kisaki Eri was a distant memory; he couldn't even picture her face.
" Let's go and have a look. "
Although Ran Mouri sensed a resemblance to her mother, she was only able to see the person's back and thus decided to follow to confirm her suspicions.
It had been days since she'd seen Eri, and she missed her a lot.
They got to the clothing store pretty quick.
Eri was selecting her outfit. Seeing the delicate black lingerie made of simple fabric and tulle, her face flushed.
Wearing such attire had never crossed her mind before, but today she must purchase some sets and wear them for other men.
'You are so sexy.'
Remembering Fujiwara Takuya's words, Eri clenched her teeth in fury.
She was forced to buy a car, has to birth children, and post indecent photos because of him.
Eri selected several sets at the same time; the system had chosen them all.
She was unaware that, on the other side, Takuya was using the system to pick out several black lingerie items for Eri, a selection he personally preferred.
The fabric is not only small but also looks remarkably like felt silk, giving an impression of elegance.
If Eri wore these clothes and posed for more pictures, Takuya could use them for his nighttime studies later.
"Ran, why did your mom get this type of clothes? Is she going to wear it for uncle to see?", Suzuki Sonoko blushed.
As a high school student, it was the first time she saw something like this.
Mori Ran imagined wearing the clothes and blushed. She felt a flutter of excitement.
Is her mom really going to wear those clothes and show them to her dad? Could this mean they'll get back together?
Despite his fear of Eri Kisaki, Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but acknowledge her stunning beauty, even as he drifted off into a daydream.
He even started picturing Kisaki Eri in those clothes. It was quite tempting. Mori Kogoro would surely be captivated by her.
"Ran, your mother is so daring."
???
Sonoko was confused. Is this guy a fool? Even if that's true, is it something you can say?
Isn't this looking for death? Aren't you scared of Ran's Karate?
A cold sweat broke out on Shinichi's forehead as his body shook. He deeply regretted his words. He blurted out what he was really thinking.
"Shinichi, what's that supposed to mean?"
Ran's eyes were full of murderous intent. With clenched fists, she stomped her right foot, shattering the concrete beneath.
Shinichi's eyes widened in surprise, popping out slightly as his jaw dropped.
Uncle Mori is really special. He let Ran learn karate and the now the girl's anger means broken bones?
A sweet woman has become quite irritable.
It's partially his own fault. Why does he randomly spout nonsense? Some things are best not said lightly.
"It's all my fault, Ran. I won't do it again. " Shinichi quickly admitted his mistake.
"Ran , Auntie is leaving soon. Let's also leave quickly. If we are seen by Auntie, she'll be embarrassed. "
Suzuki Sonoko took Ran away while Shinichi followed.
The three of them dashed to the corner. With the bill paid, Eri retrieved her bags and located her car.
Ran and two others escaped her notice. Were she discovered, the shame would be so intense she'd likely burn all her new clothes.
"Ran, this is a rare opportunity. Perhaps she can reconcile with your uncle tonight and reunite with him tomorrow. "
Suzuki Sonoko was happy for Mori Ran.
Ran has repeatedly attempted a reconciliation between Kisaki Eri and Mori Kogoro, yet without success.
She didn't expect that Eri-san would take the initiative today .
'It looks like it's true.' There was a twinkle in Ran's eyes.
Seems like Kisaki Eri is going home, which means her parents will be reunited soon.
She was really moved.
"Time for me to make some food; see you later!" Instead of staying with her friends, Ran hurried home.
She wished to help her father get ready.
Sonoko Suzuki's gaze shifted from Ran's departing figure to Shinichi Kudo.
"Kudo-san, you're really gonna say about your aunt? You don't have a crush on her, do you? "
"Absolutely not, it's impossible!"
A blush crept onto Shinichi Kudo's face from his anxiety. How could he possibly confess to that?
Admitting it would get him laughed at; Let's be real, every guy has a thing for older women.
Anyway, he was just imagining things, but he doesn't want people to get the wrong idea.
" I know. I understand what you mean. "
Sonoko let out a chuckle before turning and walking away, not giving Kudo Shinichi the chance to offer an explanation.
" Hey? What are you saying? I don't understand myself. What on earth do you understand? What do you mean by understanding me? "
Shinichi tried to explain, but Sonoko Suzuki had already run off, leaving him no opportunity.
Location: Mori Detective Agency.
Mori Ran returned shortly, laden with groceries. She saw Kogoro Mori drinking the moment she stepped inside.
Even though he wasn't drunk, the strong smell of alcohol on him and his red face were noticeable.
Prior to Kudo Shinichi's shrinkage to Conan, Mori Kogoro's detective work was lazy and unproductive, filled with blunders and missed clues.
He spends his days drinking, and he's not good at anything else.
" Dad, stop drinking. I'm going to prepare dinner. First, clean the living room; afterward, take a shower. "
Ran's anger simmered; she wanted to explode, but held back, requesting her father clean up before her mother's possible evening arrival.
" What? I think I'll have a little more. Leave me alone, I'm having a drink. "
Unconcerned, Kogoro Mouri kept drinking, eyes glued to Okino Yoko's show on TV.
[Bang…]
Ran's hand came down hard on the table; the wooden legs snapped. The table wobbled, sending beer bottles crashing down.
"Do you have any objections? "
"No, no problem . I'll go clean it up now and take a shower. "
Kogoro Mori was scared stiff. He cleaned the table fast and then showered. The whole thing was a total mystery to him.
[That's all for now]
