Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 117: Onii-chan, who do you think is prettier, Eri or Yukiko?

"Maybe it just looks serious, but the injury isn't serious," Lin Xiu said with a smile, "so I really don't need any medicine."

"In that case, I'll take the medicine back," Orikasa Midori nodded.

Seeing with her own eyes that Lin Xiuyi's arm was fine, Orikasa Midori felt relieved. The girl did not delay any longer. After thanking Lin Xiuyi a few words, she said goodbye and left in a generous manner.

"Onii-chan, this sister is so beautiful?" Reiko said meaningfully.

"Orikasa is indeed very pretty," Lin Xiuyi said, then he noticed that the three girls in the store were all staring at him with unfriendly expressions. "She and I have nothing to do with each other, so what's wrong with telling the truth?"

"Onii-chan, you really can meet beautiful girls wherever you go," Reiko snorted.

"No matter how pretty the other girls are, they're not as pretty as you three," Lin Xiuyi replied, "I'm just telling the truth."

It was the first time that Kisaki Eri and Fujimine Yukiko were praised by him like this, and their faces immediately turned red.

Only Lingzi, who had been coaxed by her brother since childhood, didn't react much.

However, after looking at the embarrassed Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Fujimine, she suddenly moved her eyes and asked with a smile: "Onii-chan, who do you think is prettier, Eri or Yukiko?"

"This……"

As soon as Lin Xiuyi opened his mouth, he felt two sharp gazes staring at him. The two girls were obviously waiting for his answer.

He could only glare at his little cousin in frustration. How could she give her brother a question that would kill him?

hey-hey……

Lingzi smiled proudly. She had just read the story of the Golden Apple in Greek mythology not long ago.

The golden apple is nothing to the gods, but once this golden apple is given to the most beautiful goddess, its nature immediately changes.

The three highest-ranking goddesses in Greek mythology would argue over it, and Reiko didn't believe that Kisaki Eri and Fujimine Yukiko would not quarrel!
When they're both beaten to a pulp, Onii-chan will be all mine...

Thinking of the happy things, Lingzi couldn't help but cover her cheeks and laughed foolishly.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Xiuyi finally spoke.

"If you were to ask the most beautiful girl in the izakaya right now..."

Kisaki Eri and Fujimine Yukiko were looking at him nervously, but they didn't expect Lin Xiu's next words to be,
"Of course it's my cutest little sister, Reiko! You were so cute when you were little, and you'll definitely be a great beauty when you grow up!"

"Really?" Lingzi blinked in surprise, her little face full of joy. It turns out that in Onii-chan's heart, I am the most beautiful. I...

Thinking of this, the little cousin suddenly realized something was wrong. Wasn’t she asking about Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Fujimine just now?

Onii-chan, how...

She hurriedly looked at her brother and saw the wicked smile on Lin Xiuyi's face.

Just as Reiko was about to speak, Fujimine Yukiko angrily said, "What's so pretty about this little girl? You actually said she's prettier than me?"

"There's something wrong with your aesthetic taste!" said Hibiki Eri dissatisfiedly.

Although Lingzi knew that her brother was trying to divert the blame, she couldn't help but retort when she heard them say that: "I'm prettier than you guys anyway!"

The izakaya suddenly became noisy, and Lin Xiuyi breathed a sigh of relief. He tore some tissues, covered his ears, and began to concentrate on processing the ingredients.

The three girls argued for a long time, but no one could win the argument. Just then, the door of the izakaya was pushed open, and Maori Kogoro walked in with a baseball bat. "It sounds like there's a lot of noise outside. What are you talking about?"

"Mori-kun!" Fujimine Yukiko asked through gritted teeth, "Who's the prettiest among me, the girl with glasses, or this little girl?"

"Ah?" Maori Kogoro was a little confused. "What did you say?"

"Who's the prettiest among the three of us?" Kisaki Eri clenched her fists. "You'd better think it over before you speak!"

"Nissan Kogoro," Reiko smiled sweetly, "I must be the prettiest, right?"

"This one……"

Maori Kogoro looked at the three girls' beautiful faces with different styles and hesitated for a long time.
"By the way, you must have asked Shuichi this question too, right? I have the same answer as him!"

"Haha, I won!" Lingzi jumped up with joy.

"Ah?" Maori Kogoro was stunned, "Shuichi he..."

"Onii-chan's answer is, I'm the prettiest!" Reiko put her hands on her hips and smiled proudly.

"What kind of vision is this, Shuichi..." Kogoro Mouri muttered softly.

In his opinion, although Reiko is cute, she is still just a little girl who has not grown up. When it comes to prettiness, it must be Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Fujimine.

"Alright! Stop making trouble!" Lin Xiuyi gave his cousin a slap on the head. "Let's eat. We have to open the shop soon."

……

Because it's the weekend, business is good tonight.

Lin Xiuyi and the other three were too busy to handle the job, so they had to ask Lingzi to come downstairs and act as a waiter.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the restaurant was still full. When the Fujimine couple, wearing sunglasses and hats that covered most of their faces, walked into the izakaya, they couldn't even find a place to sit.

"I didn't expect the izakaya business to be so good," Mrs. Fujimine said in surprise. "I thought it would be lucky if a place opened by a few kids didn't lose money."

"Lin Jun is indeed capable," Mr. Fujimine nodded with satisfaction. "Even if he doesn't become a police officer or detective in the future, Yukiko won't have to suffer if she follows him."

"Kousuke," the middle-aged man who came with the Fujimine couple asked curiously, looking at the cooking table, "Is that chef Hayashi Shuichi? He looks quite young."

"He's Yukiko's classmate, and he's only in his first year of high school this year," Mr. Fujimine introduced. "He was the one who solved Director Miyagi's case at City Hall last night and told Yukiko about it. I'm sure he can help with your case, too."

"I hope so..." The middle-aged man sighed. He had been looking for the person everywhere for the past six months and had asked the police and detectives for help, but there was still no result.

At this time, Fujimine Yukiko also recognized her parents entering the store and hurried over to greet them: "Dad, Mom, there are no seats left in the store. Please wait a moment, someone will leave soon."

As she spoke, she found a stool and asked the three of them to sit down first.

Mrs. Fujimine wanted to check on her daughter and ask her about her work here, but she didn't expect that after putting down the stool, Fujimine Yukiko hurried back to the kitchen counter.

"This child is not so diligent even at home," Mrs. Fujimine snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Yukiko is working, so of course she can't be lazy," Mr. Fujimine said in defense of his daughter, "We shouldn't have disturbed her in the first place."

"If you don't come over here and take a look, what if your daughter gets scammed?" Mrs. Fujimine glared at her husband. "Kids these days are much more open-minded than they were back then. It's better to keep a close eye on them. I don't want to be a grandmother at such a young age!"
