Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Congratulations, kids."

Seeing the two girls opposite wearing silver rings, Miss Kinoshita sat in the dressing room and pulled the girls in front of her.

"Sure enough, there are good things coming one after another. Even your spirits are so good and your faces are so rosy even without makeup."

Upon hearing what Miss Kinoshita said, both Yuzuki and Kaori turned their heads in embarrassment. After a moment, they changed the subject and said, "Miss Kinoshita's clothes are really nice."

"Yes, I asked the company's designers to customize this specifically for me."

The dressing room was full of girls, and Miss Kinoshita generously pulled out her shoulder strap and pointed to the ginkgo logo on it.

"Even the underwear."

"real!"

The girls around him all came over. Yuanzi even reached out to touch it out of curiosity, but was slapped by Xiaolan next to him.

"I'm just curious about Miss Kinoshita's clothes." Sonoko pouted and rubbed her hands, then curiously looked at the pearl brooch on Xiaolan's chest.

"But Xiaolan, you actually wear such high-end jewelry. You should tell me in advance. I came here wearing an ordinary dress. There are no decorations at all."

An ordinary dress, if she guessed correctly, Sonoko's outfit was definitely super expensive.

"Yuanzi, you look very good like this. If you add accessories, you will definitely dominate the show..."

"Hey! It's not as exaggerated as you said." Yuanzi grabbed Xiaolan's sleeve and pushed it aside: "Why are you so sweet all of a sudden? I'm not used to you being like this."

"No...no..."

Being stared at by Sonoko's questioning eyes, Xiaolan could only whisper: "Well, Miss Kinoshita doesn't like Shinichi very much."

"That's what happened. She doesn't seem to like the arrogant man who often involves Dr. Ali in cases."

Suddenly understanding something, Sonoko winked and smiled at Xiaolan: "So you want to have a good relationship with Miss Kinoshita and then intercede for your husband."

It's no wonder that Shinichi has grown up under the care of Dr. Ali. Naturally, Xiaolan doesn't want the doctor's future wife to have a bad relationship with Shinichi.

"Garden!"

"Okay, I won't talk anymore." Yuanzi patted his mouth: "Back to the topic just now, where did you buy this pearl brooch? You don't even know if you were deceived?"

"Been... tricked?"

"Hmm." Yuanzi wrapped Xiaolan's brooch with a handkerchief and took it off. Pointing to the gap connecting the pearl and the brooch body, she said, "Although I asked a professional jewelry craftsman to repair the middle, there is an obvious perforation. It should be It was taken out of the necklace."

Midway through the words, Yuanzi saw Xiaolan extending and retracting her hand, and reluctantly returned the brooch.

"I advise you, no matter how much you like it, don't swallow it yourself if you suffer a loss."

"It's okay, the brooch was given to me by someone else."

"So generous? This brooch can at least buy a house in Mihua Town, not a mansion built by one family."

Yuanzi clapped his hands together, waved to the ceiling and said, "Which god is this? Please give some wealth to me, a poor little girl."

"Poverty...poverty?"

Everyone present heard Yuanzi's words. If it weren't for everyone's good relationship, someone would definitely have murderous intentions.

"Don't be ridiculous! A rich lady like you actually calls herself poor. If we work hard just to live a decent life in this city, aren't we even considered scum!"

A man's voice came from the door, startling everyone in the room. Following Shinichi, he saw all kinds of people around him. The eldest lady almost reflexively squatted down and hugged her head, and kept saying sorry. , calling for a boyfriend who can beat me from the bottom of my heart.

"How can a young lady like you understand our pain? I'm going to let you taste it today!"

"No! Ah Zhen, come and save me quickly!"

"No one can save you today!" Yuanzi narrowed his eyes and found that Xiaolan took a step back and shouted urgently: "Why are you just watching there, Xiaolan!"

"Yuanzi? Yuanzi!" Xiaolan put her hand to her mouth and called to her best friend: "Look at the door."

"Don't look! There must be an ugly-looking perverted murderer at the door!"

Yuanzi kept shaking his head: "Crazy, disgusting, wrinkled guy!"

"If you didn't say the last part, I could still beg for mercy for you, sister."

Yuko and Xiao Ai hid at the door together, watching Yukiko Kudo press the voice changer on the collar around her neck, and walked to Sonoko with a kind face.

"Yuanzi, someone seemed to say that I have wrinkles on my face just now."

"Eh? Is there any?" Yuanzi jumped up as soon as he jumped, regardless of the fact that his lively behavior did not match the dress at all.

"Sister Yukiko, you are beautiful again."

After pinching Sonoko's face twice, Yukiko smiled and said, "You seem to like Xiaolan's brooch very much?"

"Um...can I like it?"

"Of course, if you are willing to be the Kudo family's wife, I can't give you one."

"Lie!" Yuanzi pointed at Xiao Ai who walked in. She had the same brooch on her chest as Xiao Lan: "Obviously even she has one!"

After saying that, she immediately turned around and pointed at Yuzuki and Kaori: "But they didn't."

The eldest lady immediately hugged Yukiko's arm: "Sister, just give me one."

"Who told you that Xiao Ai wouldn't be the daughter-in-law of the Kudo family?"

Yukiko pouted in the direction of Yuzuki, and looking over, Sonoko saw the two traitors smiling awkwardly at her twice, and then took out a brooch and put it on her chest with evasive eyes.

"you……"

Sonoko sighed, closed her eyes obediently and moved her forehead towards Yukiko.

"It hurts!"

Covering her forehead and hiding behind Xiaolan, Sonoko complained: "Why does Shinichi's mother like to flick my forehead so much since she was a child?"

"Maybe it's because your forehead is so beautiful."

Clapping her hands, Yukiko said: "Okay, everyone, it's time to give this place to the heroine tonight. You are making a mess, and the future Mrs. Agasa hasn't put on makeup yet."

The girls in the dressing room all listened to Yukiko's words, apologized to Miss Kinoshita and left.

"But as expected, I still really envy Miss Kinoshita. She got engaged today."

Xiaolan walked in the front, looking at the hall full of guests, and couldn't help but imagine the scene of her engagement to Shinichi.

Dressed in pink, she was in a dreamlike hall, surrounded by well-wishers. There was an awkward father and mother. They seemed to have reconciled and looked at me with a look of relief.

On the other side were the Kudo family's parents, who were also smiling. Next to them stood Yuji and two girls holding children, laughing and applauding.

"Xiaolan, can you marry me?"

In the fantasy, a sudden voice came from behind, her eyes widened, and Xiaolan felt like tears were coming out of her eyes.

"Of course, I've been waiting for a long time."

Xiaolan turned around suddenly and saw Conan in a suit holding up a ring box and looking at her expectantly.

"New...Shinichi?" (End of this chapter)
