I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 419 Two People with Their Own Hidden agendas (2nd update)
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the gate of Teitan High School. The school bell had just rung, and students poured out of the school gate in twos and threes.

Shiraishi E leaned against the cherry blossom tree outside the school gate, his hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed on Ran and Sonoko who were walking towards him.

"Have you been waiting long?" Xiaolan and Yuanzi jogged up a few steps, slightly out of breath, their cheeks flushed from the exercise.

Shiraishi E shook her head with a smile: "Just arrived."

He reached out and took Ranko's schoolbag, the movement as natural as if he had done it countless times, and asked, "Where are we going today? Shibuya?"

"That's right!" Sonoko waved her arms excitedly, "I heard that a super cute women's clothing store just opened in Shibuya 109!"

She winked mischievously: "And... there are new maid outfits available recently~"

Shiraishi E raised an eyebrow, a meaningful smile playing on her lips: "That really is... something to look forward to."

The streets of Shibuya are bustling with people, neon lights are flashing, and it is noisy and prosperous.

Shiraishi E's hands were full of shopping bags, and she even had several small jewelry boxes hanging around her neck, making her look like a mobile shelf.

"How about this one?" Xiaolan peeked out from the fitting room, wearing a light pink dress that swayed gently with her movements.

"So cute!" Sonoko exclaimed, giving a thumbs-up dramatically. "Buy it, buy it!"

Shiraishi leaned back on the sofa in the store, her gaze lingering on Xiaolan for a few seconds before she chuckled, "It suits you very well."

Xiao Lan chuckled and turned to disappear back into the fitting room.

Sonoko leaned closer to Shiraishi E and whispered, "Hey, I just saw some new maid outfits over there, wanna...?"

Shiraishi E glanced at her, a half-smile on her face: "You seem to understand me quite well."

Sonoko proudly raised her chin: "Of course!"

As she spoke, she couldn't wait to buy the latest maid outfit.

--------------

Three hours later, a maid outfit show featuring Koranzo was staged in the hotel room!

It has to be said that being beautiful, young, and energetic is all that matters, as it allows one to perfectly pull off any outfit.

Shiraishi was awestruck by the sight, praising it repeatedly, and applauding continuously from the beginning.

Seeing the stunning part, he couldn't help but touch it a few times, and accidentally tore the clothes apart.

This caused Xiao Lan to squeal repeatedly and roll her eyes.

Shiraishi E also felt very embarrassed and guilty about this, so she could only apologize through her actions to express her heartfelt apology.

Although the apology took a long time and the actions were somewhat slow.

But in the end, he managed to get Ranko to forgive his excessive behavior thanks to his strong physique.

The frequent changes of clothes left Xiaolan Yuanzi feeling exhausted, to the point of being breathless.

Shiraishi E was very understanding, so after letting them rest for a while, she took them to a nearby upscale barbecue restaurant to replenish their lost energy and protein.

The grease dripped onto the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound and filling the air with a fragrant aroma.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi ate heartily, their cheeks puffed out like two hamsters.

Shiraishi E placed the high-quality Wagyu beef on the grill and focused on grilling the meat for the two of them.

As Yuanzi ate, she muttered to herself, "Thinking about Mermaid Island is still terrifying. I even dreamed about it last night, and it woke me up in a fright."

"Me too." Xiaolan paused, still a little shaken, but reassured him, "But it's all in the past now!"

"That's true, but forgetting... isn't that easy," Sonoko muttered as she ate her grilled meat. "I have to do something to distract myself!"

"How about... a weekend vacation at the beach? It could also help me get my parents together!" Xiaolan suggested.

"That's a good idea!" Sonoko's eyes lit up, her gossip spirit igniting once more. "If things go smoothly, Uncle Mori might be able to share a room with Aunt Eri!" "Then, we can secretly add a little something to their water...hehehe, and then it'll all fall into place naturally!!"

"Drug her?" Xiaolan looked at her best friend speechlessly and said, "Yuanzi, what are you thinking?"

"I'm just doing this as a precaution," Sonoko said matter-of-factly. "Think about it, they've been separated for ten years. If they suddenly sleep together, they'll definitely be nervous, reserved, and awkward!"

"Besides, your parents are both so proud that neither of them wants to take the initiative... What if they end up in bed together and actually fall asleep? Wouldn't that be a waste of such a good opportunity?"

"This..." Xiaolan was speechless for a moment.

She realized that Sonoko's words made a lot of sense!

Both of them are the kind of people who are so concerned about saving face that they suffer for it; otherwise, why would they have been separated for such a long time, ten years?
Thinking about this, she actually started to feel a little tempted by Sonoko's suggestion!
Sonoko could tell from Ran's expression that the other girl had something on her mind, so she decisively said to Shiraishi E, "E, you should be able to get those things, right?"

"If you need it, I'll get it for you." Shiraishi E didn't refuse, because he also wanted to get some to taste on Koran Sonoko.

"Then I'll leave it to you!!" Sonoko was overjoyed and took the initiative to pick up a piece of grilled meat and feed it to Shiraishi E.

"..." Xiaolan didn't say anything, she just ate the barbecue in silence.

She felt it was wrong to do such a thing, and it made her feel very guilty.

However, she really wanted her parents to get back together and live happily as a family!
After finishing the barbecue, Shiraishi E accompanied Ran and Sonoko for a walk before taking them home.

He glanced at his watch and, seeing that it was almost time, went back to his rented room to shower and change before meeting Amuro Tooru.

------------

In the dimly lit jazz club, the deep melody of the saxophone flowed through the air.

After disguising herself, Shiraishi E pushed open the door to the VIP box and saw Amuro Tooru sitting alone on a leather sofa, swirling a glass of whiskey in her hand.

"Hey, why didn't you bring your 'old friend' today?" Shiraishi looked around and, not finding Akai Shuichi, sat down opposite Amuro Tooru.

Amuro Tooru placed his glass on the marble table with a soft click: "This has nothing to do with him!"

Shiraishi E raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"

“Rum gave me a mission,” Amuro Tooru said bluntly: “To take you out while I’m delivering the gold to you.”

Shiraishi E suddenly laughed out loud, picked up another glass of wine on the table and took a sip: "This old thing is really persistent."

His fingers tapped lightly on the rim of the glass: "Every time we meet, he tries to kill me, but he can't. He's as ridiculous as a circus clown."

Amuro Tooru also curled the corners of his mouth: "That's how it is when people get old, they always do some foolish things."

He swirled his glass, the ice clinking together with a crisp sound. "But this time he really went all out, promising to promote me regardless of success or failure."

Shiraishi E said with a hint of sarcasm, "He just can't swallow this insult."

"They're used to being arrogant, killing whoever they want, but suddenly they've run into someone as tough as me."

“So I’m increasingly eager to take it on,” Amuro Tooru continued.

After a pause, he said, "When the time comes, remember to go easy on them."

Shiraishi E nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will cooperate with you properly."

After receiving assurances from the notorious bandit Azu, Amuro Tooru proactively brought over a drink and offered a toast!
Great, this way I can secretly add some ingredients and call the military personnel over to ambush this bastard together.

If it succeeds, all the better; then the world will be rid of one great scourge.

It doesn't matter if we fail, since Rum will take the blame anyway, and it has nothing to do with me.

Thinking of this, Amuro Tooru felt that even the wine going down his throat tasted somewhat sweet.

As Shiraishi E drank her wine, she thought to herself: "For the sake of you tipping me off, I'll give you an RPG shot. Whether you survive or not depends on how tough your life is!"
