Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't associate Conan with Shinichi Kudo.

After all, the idea of ​​reversing aging still sounds too fantastical.

However, Vermouth herself was a beneficiary of the anti-aging drug, and upon seeing how much Conan resembled Shinichi Kudo when he was young, she instantly guessed the truth.

After confirming that Conan was indeed Shinichi Kudo, Vermouth did not consider reporting the matter to the organization. Instead, she decided to secretly protect her two little angels.

Sonoko's left wrist would twist at crucial moments, which was actually caused by Vermouth secretly tampering with it.

Vermouth is a world-class actress, and romantic dramas are her forte.

Now that she finally has the opportunity to act alongside Ran Mouri, Vermouth certainly doesn't want to miss the chance to play the male lead.

In the original story, Vermouth didn't steal the male lead's spotlight because Shinichi Kudo, with Ai Haibara's help, temporarily transformed back into an adult and took on the role of the Black Knight.

Given Vermouth's fondness for Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo, she naturally wouldn't compete with Shinichi Kudo for the male lead's screen time.

However, due to Suzuki Seimei's covert interference, Ai Haibara never revealed her identity to Conan, let alone helped him develop a new antidote.

Since Shinichi Kudo didn't appear, Vermouth naturally became the obvious choice for the role of the Black Knight.

"Young master, here is your iced cola."

Before the stage play was about to begin, Kurosaki Tamaka went to the snack and drink area in the corner of the theater and bought a large bag of snacks and drinks.

"Ai, your iced coffee."

Thank you~

"You're welcome."

Kurosaki Tamaka smiled slightly, and then handed out a drink and a bag of snacks to Conan and Kogoro Mouri.

After Kurosaki Tamaka finished distributing snacks and drinks to Hattori Heiji and the others, the theater lights went out.

"Now we present to you 'A Lukewarm Love' by Class 2B. Please stay tuned."

Hearing Sonoko's voice coming from the theater's loudspeaker, Suzuki Haruaki and the others sat up straight and looked expectantly at the stage in front of them.

As the stage curtain slowly opened, a castle-shaped set appeared in everyone's view.

Under the spotlight, Ran Mouri, dressed in a pink and white princess dress, looked like an angel bathed in sunlight.

(?)

Upon seeing this, Conan's eyes lit up.

"O all-knowing and all-powerful Zeus! Why do you treat me like this, this poor woman? Do you really want me to suffer and sacrifice myself in this hopeless marriage?"

"Great... great performance!"

As Ran Mouri, who was peering out of the castle window, finished reciting her first line, Kogoro Mouri, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but shout excitedly.

(?--)

Seeing the incredibly noisy Kogoro Mouri, Seimei Suzuki and the others were speechless for a moment, and quickly put on an expression as if they didn't know him.

Kogoro Mouri's shouting clearly aroused the dissatisfaction of other viewers.

"That...that..."

Facing the disapproving gazes of hundreds of spectators, Kogoro Mouri finally regained his composure and chuckled somewhat sheepishly, "The leading lady up there is my daughter, hehehe..."

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing this, the audience burst into good-natured laughter.

Who can stop a father from supporting his daughter?

Sitting next to Kogoro Mouri, Kazuha Toyama thought to herself, "Seriously, this is so embarrassing, I don't even want to sit here anymore."

If they had known that Kogoro Mouri was so loud and boisterous, Toyama and Ye would never have sat with Heiji Hattori, nor would they have chosen to sit between the two of them.

"How dare you! Don't you know this is Princess Hart's carriage from the Duchy of Puli?"

Soon, the plot on stage reached its climax, with Ran Mouri's pumpkin carriage being blocked by a group of vicious robbers.

The leader of the robbers raised his broadsword and said with a sneer, "Of course we know this is Princess Hart's carriage. As long as we can kill the princess, we can ruin the marriage alliance between our two countries."

As far as we're concerned, it's best if your duchy and our kingdom continue their conflict as before. Kill them!

Faced with these vicious bandits, the princess's guards were powerless to resist and were quickly all killed, while Princess Hart was dragged out of the carriage.

"Xiao Lan!!!"

Immersed in the drama, Toyama Kazuha couldn't help but stand up from her seat, waving her fists and shouting, "Use your karate and kill all those bad guys!"

"Idiot, shut up! You idiot..."

Hattori Heiji was startled by Toyama Kazuha's actions and quickly got up to push her back down.

Really!

All we need is Uncle Mori, that idiot!

Just as Hattori Heiji was calming down the agitated Toyama Kazuha, Vermouth, playing the Black Knight, made her timely appearance, swiftly and decisively taking down the robbers and pulling Mouri Ran into her arms.

(〃＞ dishes＜)

"That brat dared to lay his hands on my unmarried daughter, I won't let him get away with this..."

"That's outrageous!"

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri and Conan clenched their fists in anger.

"Uncle, calm down, don't be impulsive!"

If it weren't for Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama quickly pulling them back, they probably would have rushed onto the stage.

A doting father to his daughter, and a jealous man in East Asia.

"Could you be Spet? The prince of the Kingdom of Toramp, who was stabbed in the forehead by his father and banished from the palace?"

Ran Mouri wrapped her arms around Vermouth's neck and looked at her with deep affection, saying, "If you haven't forgotten the vow we made when we were young, please... write your proof on my lips."

"Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him..."

Seeing this, Suzuki Seimei, always eager for a good show, waved his little hand and shouted.

This kind of storyline with its strong yuri vibe is much more interesting than mindless romance dramas!

Despite Vermouth's perfect disguise, Suzuki Seimei saw through her disguise the moment he saw her.

Based on Suzuki Seimei's past experience with signing in, important supporting characters from the original work, such as Dr. Araide, should also meet the criteria for signing in.

However, Suzuki Seimei did not see that the words "Check-in Available" were floating above Dr. Araide's head.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei suspected that the doctor in front of him was actually Vermouth in disguise.

At the memorial service last time, when Suzuki Seimei took the opportunity to get close to Vermouth, he had already secretly memorized her scent.

For people like Vermouth and Phantom Thief Kid, who are skilled in disguise, it is necessary to remember their scent in order to accurately identify their identities.

After suspecting Dr. Araide's identity, Suzuki Seimei secretly used his wealth to enhance his sense of smell and discovered that his scent was indeed the same as Vermouth's, which is why he was so eager to watch the drama unfold.

I need a bean bag!

Conan's expression changed drastically as he watched the two faces slowly approaching on the stage. He instinctively raised the tranquilizer watch on his wrist and aimed it at the black knight's neck.

Conan has learned from Kazuha Toyama that Sonoko had to ask Dr. Araide to take her place as the Black Knight because she had sprained her wrist temporarily.

In other words, the black knight on stage was actually Dr. Araide in disguise.

To prevent his own head from turning green, Conan is determined to take down Dr. Araide, even if it means ruining the stage play.

"what--"

Just as Conan was about to embark on a path of crime, a piercing scream suddenly rang out, interrupting the stage play performance.

"careful!"

Upon hearing this, Vermouth instinctively raised her arm to shield Ran Mouri behind her.

"What happened?"

"It looks like someone has died!"

"No way?"

As the theater lights came back on, a male corpse lying in the audience came into view.

Upon seeing this, the school teachers quickly led a group to maintain order at the scene and called the police.

Beep~woo~~Beep~woo~~Beep~woo~~

After receiving a call from the school teacher, Inspector Megure immediately led his team to the scene.

"The deceased's name was Kohei Urata, he was 27 years old and worked as a doctor at Beika General Hospital."

Inspector Megure took the file from Inspector Takagi, glanced at it, and then turned to the deceased's three companions, asking, "You were sitting next to the deceased, weren't you? Which of you was the first to discover the deceased's death?"

"it's me."

Wearing a burgundy dress and sporting brown curly hair, Noda Yumemi replied with a pale face, "I thought Kohei was feeling unwell, but I didn't expect him to suddenly collapse to the ground."

Officer Takagi picked up the beverage cup next to the body and asked, "Was the deceased dead after drinking this beverage?"

"This one……"

Noda Yumemi shook her head and said, "Because I was watching the show the whole time, I didn't notice it."

Inspector Megure then asked, "By the way, what time was it approximately when the deceased collapsed and died?"

"I remember the play started around 2 a.m."

Before Noda Yumemi could recall the exact time, Ran Mouri, dressed in a princess dress, suddenly spoke up: "Inspector Megure, I think the deceased must have collapsed around 2:40."

"Xiao Lan, you're here too?"

"Yes! Because our school is holding a carnival today, and our class is in charge of the stage play performance."
