In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

"Come here, Ran!" Sonoko sat down in front of Ran excitedly, calling out:

"The betting has started! The betting has started! Shiho and Vermouth, who will win today? Place your bets now, who are you going to pick?"

"Sonoko, can't you do something productive?"

Xiaolan looked helplessly at her best friend and sighed:

"This is none of our business!"

"We're only getting involved because it's none of our business!"

Sonoko chuckled, then looked at Ran, her dark green eyes revealing a hint of disappointment:

"Look at those two, one had four times and the other had three times, but in just a few hours, Shiho Miyano has accumulated eleven times, and Vermouth has ten times. You were tied for first place with them, but now you've been left far behind!"

"The garden..."

Xiaolan didn't know what to say.

Again.

We don't even know Xia Ye, how can we compete?

The two log holders are currently vying for the rights.

Shiho Miyano is someone close to Natsume, and Natsume likes her a lot, even going so far as to call her "wife" in her diary...

Vermouth was the original teacher of Natsume Akiyama, and Natsume needed this identity, so naturally, she had to maintain the teacher-student relationship with her.

I, the so-called leading lady, haven't even seen Xia Ye yet. It's already quite good that she's mentioned my name a few times. Do you still want to compete?

"hateful!"

Garden isn't actually stupid.

She understood it as soon as she thought about it.

only--

Our Xiaolan is clearly the female lead.

It's surprising that it's lagging behind Shiho Miyano, who's practically a female lead, and Vermouth, a supporting character whose role shouldn't be very big—

I'm so unwilling to accept this!

"Xiaolan, let's go!"

Sonoko slammed her hand on the table and stood up, grabbing Ran's hand and trying to run out of the classroom.

"Where are we going, to the garden?"

With a gentle pull from Xiaolan, Yuanzi's body, which had rushed out, obediently fell back, almost landing in Xiaolan's arms.

Xiao Lan put her arm around her shoulder and said reproachfully, "There's a club activity later!"

"Isn't your tennis club having a friendly match against Xin Nan High School? That handsome guy you've been dreaming about is there too!"

"What handsome guy? I'm not interested!"

Unlike her usual self, Sonoko waved her hand and firmly refused.

"I'm skipping the tennis club activity, I'll just skip it!"

"But I also have karate club activities~" Ran said, looking troubled.

"My senior, who is good at math, finally has some free time. She wants to give me some pointers."

"The Tokyo Karate Tournament is in a few days, I need to practice hard!"

"I'm asking you, Ran, is Masami-senpai's karate skill at the master level?" Sonoko asked.

"Probably not."

There is no ranking system in karate in this world.

Ran doesn't even know her own level, so how could she possibly know Tsukamoto Kazumi's strength?

"Do you get an experience bonus when practicing in your karate club?"

"no!"

Xiaolan rolled her eyes at her best friend.

Isn't that a rhetorical question?

Aside from Xia Ye, that transmigrator with a system, whose house has attributes?

Sonoko clapped her hands. "That's right! Let's go find Natsume now and ask him to open the dojo. It would be great if you could practice there!"

"You make it sound so easy, but how are we supposed to get them to open the door?"

Xiaolan seemed somewhat tempted; the attributes of that dojo were indeed very appealing to her.

"That's easy, we can do it like this~"

Yuanzi whispered something in Xiaolan's ear.

"Sonoko, you're going to die!"

Xiao Lan's pretty face flushed red. What kind of crazy idea did that brat come up with!

"Do you think my idea will work?" Sonoko winked mischievously.

"It could succeed—" Xiaolan said firmly, "but I won't do it!"

"If you don't want to do it, then don't~" Sonoko didn't want to force Ran, and continued, "Then can we just go and get to know each other?"

"Okay..." Xiaolan hesitated.

Meeting new friends shouldn't be a bad thing for Shinichi, right?

No, he's not my boyfriend now, so why should I care about what he thinks?

Xiaolan made her decision: Go!

........

Chapter Fifteen: The Bystanders Take the Stage!

Xiao Lan agreed.

Sonoko took out her diary and flipped through it.

"They were shopping on the seventh floor of Mihua Department Store."

"We're going to see a movie later."

"It's the 4 PM showing... Resident Evil 3?"

"What the heck? You chose a horror movie to watch with a girl?"

"Hmph, I smell something fishy going on!"

"Sonoko, what are you doing?"

Ran watched in horror as Sonoko took out her phone and opened the ticketing app, trying to stop her.

"Buy tickets! Buy tickets for the same show as them!"

Sonoko pulled Ran's hand away and tapped her phone lightly with her fingertips.

"Oh dear, it's so deserted, there are only seven people in the whole place!"

"The others are still in the corners, only the two of them are in the middle."

"The choice is made!"

Choosing a seat and paying for it in the garden was a seamless process.

Xiaolan sighed.

I'm terrified of watching horror movies.

I wonder how scared I'll be this time.

and many more!

"Yuanzi, the spot you bought..."

“They’re right next to them—” Sonoko said matter-of-factly, “That makes it easy for them to get to know each other!”

"Fine, whatever!" Xiaolan was impressed by her best friend's decisiveness. Let her do whatever she wanted.

.......

Mihua Department Store.

Shiho was unaware that some bystanders were preparing to get involved.

She was still angry because Xia Ye mentioned Vermouth's name three times.

She changed into such beautiful clothes for him to see.

It couldn't even compare to a boring phone call from Vermouth.

However, this was only a slight resentment, and she did not show it on her face.

"Where to go now?"

When you go shopping with a girl, you should definitely ask for her opinion.

As Xia Ye emerged from the women's clothing store carrying several shopping bags, she looked at Shiho and asked.

"Where?"

Shiho pondered for a moment.

I've bought all the clothes I needed, is there anything else I need?

With a quick glance around, Shiho spotted a nearby shop, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"follow me!"

"Good~"

Xia Ye didn't ask any more questions and followed Shiho directly.

Not long after—

The two were standing in front of a lingerie store.

In the shop window.

The model, dressed in lace lingerie, has a captivating figure.

Go into the store.

The customers are almost all young women.

Looking around, there wasn't a single man in sight.

Shiho glanced at Natsume with a sly look, wanting to see him embarrassed.

Huh?

Shiho discovered it.

Xia Ye's expression was natural.

There wasn't a hint of embarrassment.

He even nodded and smiled at a young girl who made eye contact with him.

The shy girl immediately grabbed her clothes and ran into the changing room.

Aren't you embarrassed?

Shiho originally intended to play a trick on him.

Seeing that he didn't seem to care, she asked curiously.

Why feel embarrassed?

Xia Ye admired the various colors and styles of clothing around her and said with a smile:

"Since these clothes are displayed here openly, I can naturally appreciate them openly!"
