Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Suzuki Seimei controlled Aizen to leave the casino, found an empty alley, and remotely retrieved him before turning his attention to the perfect-level "Gambling Techniques" skill book.

"use!"

As Suzuki Seimei silently uttered a command, the perfect-level "Gambling Techniques" skill book instantly transformed into a ball of golden light and merged into his body.

"Rumble..."

The skills and experience related to various gambling techniques instantly flooded into Suzuki Seimei's mind like a torrent of memories.

Under Suzuki Seimei's dedicated guidance, he quickly absorbed and refined these gambling skills, giving him a completely new understanding of "Gambling Techniques".

After Suzuki Seimei mastered the highest level of magic, he was able to become a gambling master by using various magic tricks.

However, there are still significant differences between "Magic" and "Gambling Techniques".

The skills covered in "Magic" are very broad. Although it includes some magic tricks that can be used for gambling, they only make up a small part of it.

Compared to "The Art of Gambling," which covers the entire gambling field, "Magic" still has significant limitations in the gambling domain.

After Suzuki Seimei fully mastered the perfect level of "Gambling Techniques", he gained extremely high confidence in his gambling skills, believing that his skills were no worse than those of the God of Gamblers.

……

Several days later

Mouri Detective Agency

"Xiao Lan, you must get better soon!"

Sonoko sat down by Ran's bed and handed her a freshly cut apple, saying, "The other classmates are also very worried about you. They all say that you're so strong, how could you catch a cold? Could it be that some kind of ghost is behind it?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri's expression changed slightly, and she said, "I just have a cold~"

"But then again, you look really adorable right now!"

Seeing Ran Mouri looking unusually sickly, Sonoko leaned closer to her and looked at her for a while before saying, "Ran,

Your eyes look so dreamy now, they've become even more beautiful!

I really want Shinichi Kudo to see what you look like now.

No, no, I have to take a picture and send it to him..."

As the biggest supporter of the ShinRan pairing, Sonoko quickly took out her phone and snapped a picture of Ran Mouri.

"The garden..."

Although Ran Mouri wanted to stop Sonoko's actions, she was powerless and could only let Sonoko do as she pleased.

"Shh-"

Conan, who had brought back Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai, heard Sonoko mention Kudo Shinichi. He quickly gestured for them to be quiet, then curiously pressed his ear against the door to eavesdrop on their conversation.

→_→

Seeing this, Ai Haibara frowned and gave him a disdainful look.

Do detectives all have the habit of eavesdropping?

"Sonoko, actually..."

Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment before saying, "There's something I want to tell you, but you're not allowed to laugh at me after you hear it."

"What's wrong? Just tell me."

"When I'm home alone, I actually feel pretty scared, like something is secretly watching me."

Ran Mouri looked around nervously, then said seriously, "I think there must be some naughty kid causing trouble!"

(￣`￣)

Seeing Ran Mouri's serious expression, Sonoko suddenly felt an urge to laugh, but she secretly pinched her thigh and forced herself to hold it in.

Who would have thought that Ran Mouri, a karate expert who can easily take down more than a dozen strong men, would be afraid of ghosts like a child?

So cute!

puff...

Conan, who was eavesdropping at the door, couldn't help but laugh out loud and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Ran Mouri said nervously, "Sonoko, you heard that too, right? There seems to be a sound outside?"

"Then I'll see what kind of mischievous devil is behind this!"

Upon hearing this, Sonoko immediately got up, walked to the door, and forcefully opened it.

thump!

Conan, who was leaning against the door, was the first to fall into the room. Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai followed closely behind, stepping over him and entering the room.

"Ran-neechan, Ai and I heard from Conan that you took the day off because you had a cold, so we came to see you."

Suzuki Seimei walked to the bedside and asked with some concern, "How are you feeling now?"

"So it's you who have come. Thank you for coming to see me."

When Ran Mouri saw that it was Seimei Suzuki and the others outside, instead of some mischievous kids, she breathed a sigh of relief and gave a weak smile, saying, "After taking the cold medicine that Dr. Shinichi prescribed for me and resting at home for half a day, I feel much better."

"That's good."

Upon hearing Ran Mouri's words, Seimei Suzuki nodded, abandoning his idea of ​​giving her the special cold medicine.

Because of Ran Mouri's exceptional talent, her body is stronger than many fitness instructors who work out regularly, so a common cold shouldn't be a problem for her at all.

Upon learning that Ran Mouri had caught a cold, Seimei Suzuki was quite surprised. He worried that Ran's cold was not an ordinary one.

Just in case, before coming to the Mori Detective Agency, Suzuki Seimei used "Alchemy" and "Potion Making" to concoct a special cold medicine.

Chapter 395 Ran Mouri, who is afraid of ghosts

Now that Ran Mouri's cold is almost completely cured, there's no need to give her the special cold medicine that Seimei Suzuki made.

As the saying goes, "every medicine has some toxicity," so it's best not to take medicine indiscriminately unless necessary.

However, seeing Ran Mouri's weak appearance, Seimei Suzuki couldn't resist and summoned a cup of [Milk Coffee] to replenish her energy.

Of course!

Suzuki Seimei wouldn't go so far as to summon Milk Coffee directly from Mom's Meal Box in front of Ai Haibara and the others. Instead, he used the excuse of going to the kitchen to make coffee for everyone and prepared a cup of Milk Coffee for each of them.

"Gudong..."

The moment they drank the milk coffee, everyone felt a warm and comfortable current spreading through their bodies, and they couldn't help but show expressions of enjoyment.

Since Sonoko and the others hadn't expended too much energy, after drinking the "milk coffee" which could replenish their energy, they just felt a little more energetic, and didn't suspect that the "milk coffee" had any special effects.

After Ran Mouri drank a cup of "milk coffee," her previously hazy eyes gradually cleared.

Although Suzuki Seimei did not know how high Ran Mouri's stamina was, judging from the fact that she could break a telephone pole with one punch without damaging her own fist, her strength and stamina were at least over thirty points.

An average person's stamina is only around ten points, so the [Milk Coffee] can restore four points of stamina in one go, and the recovery effect is quite obvious.

For the exceptionally gifted Ran Mouri, a cup of "milk coffee" would only restore a small portion of her strength, so it wouldn't arouse her suspicion.

After drinking a cup of milk coffee, Ran Mouri, who had been looking somewhat sickly, gradually regained her rosy complexion.

Perhaps due to the stimulation from the rapid recovery of energy brought about by the "Milk Coffee," Ran Mouri's extraordinary physical strength also began to take effect.

Over the next half hour, Ran Mouri visibly regained her strength and energy, transforming back into a vibrant high school girl.

Compared to the somewhat surprised Ai Haibara, Sonoko and Conan seemed remarkably calm upon witnessing this scene.

In the past, whether participating in karate competitions or karate training, Ran Mouri was always able to recover quickly in a very short time after accidentally losing strength or getting injured.

Therefore, Sonoko and Conan had long been used to Ran Mouri's recovery speed, which far exceeded that of ordinary people.

"Xiao Lan, I'm back!"

Half an hour later, Kogoro Mouri, carrying a bag of cooked food and drinks, walked in from outside with a worried look on his face.

"A pair of 2!"

"I can't afford it!"

"Pass!"

"..."

When Kogoro Mouri saw his beloved daughter, who should have been resting, playing cards with Seimei Suzuki and the others with great energy, his lips twitched involuntarily.

Kogoro Mouri paused for a moment, then asked somewhat uncertainly, "Ran... Ran, are you alright?"

"Dad, I'm fine now, I feel great."

"No! I think it would be better to take you to Dr. Araichi for a second check-up."

Kogoro Mouri knew that Ran Mouri's recovery ability far exceeded that of ordinary people, but her recovery speed this time seemed a little too fast.

To rule out the possibility that it was a case of lucidity before death, Kogoro Mouri decided to take Ran Mouri to Araide Hospital for a check-up.

At Kogoro Mouri's insistence, Seimei Suzuki and the others had no choice but to accompany Ran Mouri to Shinichi Hospital.

After Vermouth, disguised as Dr. Araide, carefully examined Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Doctor, how is Ran?"

“Mr. Mori, you don’t need to worry.”

Vermouth smiled gently and said, "Xiaolan's cold is completely cured. She is now very healthy, much healthier than the average person."

"That's good."

Hearing Vermouth say that, Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with some doubt, "But Ran was so sick this morning, and then she recovered so quickly this afternoon. Is she really okay?"

"This one……"

Upon hearing this, Vermouth frowned slightly and said, "It should just be an accident!"

Although Vermouth knew some medical skills, she was still quite different from those experienced old doctors.

Actually, Vermouth also felt it was quite strange, because when she went to the Mouri Detective Agency to see Ran Mouri in the morning, Ran Mouri's cold was still very bad, and she had difficulty speaking.

It's a bit of an exaggeration that Ran Mouri fully recovered in just a few hours.
