Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Obviously, unlike Lan Ke, who never participated in morning training, he had the impression that Mao Lilan's attitude was much more serious than his and she would never skip training. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, the two of them looked at him with strange eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Ⅰ澪弌⒉２叭⒊○⑼/

"Narukami-san, you forgot that there's only a little over half a month left until exam week, and the sports club has stopped their morning exercises."

Mao Lilan's words made him stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly reacted.

It’s only been a week since I transferred to this school, and it’s already exam week?

It's not that he didn't hear the teachers' reminders during class, but he had only been here for more than a week and Lan Ke's first reaction was "monthly exam". It was not until now that he realized that there was no such thing as "monthly exam" in ordinary schools in Japan. At most, it was just an in-class test.

Moreover, the summer vacation time in Japan is also different from that in China.

This is what caused Lan Ke to misunderstand the situation.

But after the initial surprise came excitement.

After all, what student doesn’t like summer vacation?

He went to school more to integrate into this world and to cover himself. If he had a choice, he would have wanted to stay in the impression space every day to kill monsters.

But that's definitely not the case.

"My old school's summer vacation was later..."

Lan Ke was just making up an excuse, but Kudo Shinichi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Although Lan Ke didn't seem to care much, he was extremely curious about Lan Ke's identity and learned indirectly that "Makami Lan"'s hometown was "Hokkaido".

As far as he knew, the class hours in Hokkaido were somewhat different from those in Tokyo. It seemed that the summer vacation was shorter and the winter vacation was longer, but the spring vacation was about the same.

But then Kudo Shinichi felt an itch in his heart like a cat scratching.

Don't forget that the reason Kudo Shinichi initially contacted Lan Ke was because of his curiosity about Lan Ke's identity, but later due to a series of reasons he temporarily put this matter aside.

Now that the two sides have become good friends, he is embarrassed to investigate Lan Ke privately, so he just speaks directly.

"Narukami, come to think of it, why did you transfer to Tokyo?"

Kudo Shinichi is a straightforward person, but he has long noticed that Lan Ke rarely talks about "past events". He didn't know that Lan Ke's memory of the past was actually not complete, and important things existed in the form of "fragments". Unless relevant information was mentioned, he would have to check it again even if he wanted to confirm it.

She thought Lan Ke had encountered something he didn't want to mention.

But she didn't expect that her childhood sweetheart was so bad at reading the air.

"Shinichi!!"

"It's okay, Maori-san. I've gotten to know Kudo a little bit after spending a few days with him."

The sudden rise in his childhood sweetheart's voice and his best friend's undisguised complaints made Kudo Shinichi's expression very subtle, but his strong curiosity made him choose to remain silent.

Fortunately, Lan Ke didn't care.

The reason why he didn't mention his own affairs was, firstly, because he was afraid of trouble, and secondly, because he didn't feel it was real.

But if the person asking is Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan...

Although the former is a mystery enthusiast, he will abide by the "agreement", so there is no need to worry about Mao Lilan.

"There's nothing I can't tell you. Since you're curious, Kudo, I'll tell you. But don't be scared then~"

In response to Lan Ke's teasing, Kudo Shinichi nodded very seriously, as if to say, "I have received professional training and will not be scared no matter what I hear."

"It's actually very simple. I'm currently under 'protective observation,' which you can simply understand as 'juvenile delinquent,' so I was sent from my hometown to Tokyo."

Speaking of this incident, Lan Ke felt a little sad, but his emotions were quite stable.

After all, in his opinion, this was done by 'Ming Shanglan', not him, and he also supported the other party. Even if it was him, he would do the same, but he would be prepared in advance.

But just because he doesn't care doesn't mean Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran don't care.

Kudo Shinichi was stunned at first, then frowned, as if thinking about something; Mouri Ran covered her mouth with an incredible expression.

The two people's reactions were completely different, but the same thing was——————

"Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"Is there a reason for this?"

The two did not become alienated at all because Lan Ke called himself a "juvenile delinquent". Instead, they expressed their trust in Lan Ke based on their respective "characteristics".

"You don't doubt me?"

"Even though I've only known you, Narukami-san, for a week, you're definitely not a bad person since you're helping that idiot Shinichi gather clues for a stranger!"

After hearing what Mao Lilan said, Lan Keren couldn't help but look at Kudo Shinichi with a strange look.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't tell anyone about the Zeyuezhi incident?"

As if he understood Lan Ke's eyes, Kudo Shinichi showed a helpless expression.

"Yesterday after school, we went to a sports store in Taito District to buy some things, and we happened to see someone collapsed on the ground. Coincidentally, that person had received a letter warning about the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, and there were also police officers from the First Investigation Division who arrived, so..."

It was obvious that although Kudo Shinichi wanted to hide it, he failed in the end, but he kept reminding Lan Ke with his eyes.

It was obvious that the other party did not mention the incident where he was almost surrounded by gangsters and was rescued by Lan Ke, so Lan Ke naturally did not say anything more.

But Lan Ke still couldn't help but complain.

Yesterday, apart from sending out the notice letter, he was basically moving around in the 'cognitive world', and he was in a hurry, so naturally he had no time to pay attention to the location of 'Tarot'. Unexpectedly, Kudo Shinichi happened to appear near his target of heart-stealing.

Lan Ke really couldn't help but want to complain——————it's a waste that your Tarot is not the 'God of Death', otherwise you would have given a 'Instant Death Enhancement' BUFF after maxing out your RANK.

Perhaps in order to prevent Lan Ke from revealing more things, Kudo Shinichi directly continued what Mouri Ran had said before.

"I trust evidence and my own judgment more than 'hearsay'."

"Does the person involved's words count as 'hearsay'?"

Although Lan Ke was complaining, if you look closely you can see that the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned.

It was obvious that he didn't care about what happened in the past, but who doesn't like to be trusted?

Lan Ke stopped teasing and told them directly what happened to him.

"It wasn't a complicated matter. I happened to see a group of thugs collecting protection money that day. I couldn't stand it, so I went up to stop them. Unexpectedly, they attacked me, so I started fighting. Then I sent them all to the hospital... Coincidentally, one of them seemed to know someone at the local procuratorate, so I was charged with 'intentional injury.'"

After Lan Ke finished speaking, Mao Lilan didn't know what to say for a moment, but Kudo Shinichi's brows became deeper and deeper.

"Didn't the police continue their investigation?"

"It's useless. There was no surveillance where we took action. The only witness was the person being blackmailed, but he ran away. Even if we found him, he couldn't prove that I was simply fighting back. Not to mention that I did send them to the hospital. Cases like this are inherently ambiguous. The key lies in the opinions of the responsible personnel, and their opinions... heh~"

Lan Ke finally chuckled, as if mocking the other person, and also as if mocking his own experience.

But Kudo Shinichi discovered a blind spot.

"Even so, you shouldn't have come to Tokyo..."

"They've probably informed all the other local schools, right? 'Protective Observation' is a very difficult position to hold. Even if the school refuses, the police can't force them to accept it. Not to mention, they won't enforce it. I was just thrown out. If Kujo-san hadn't been willing to take me in, I don't know where I would be now."

Although Lan Ke was obviously a little emotional when he said this, compared to these things, it was almost negligible.

Kudo Shinichi, who had no idea that Lan Ke really didn't take it to heart, felt a lump in his heart.

Originally, when Lan Ke helped him investigate the case, he felt that Lan Ke and he should be considered the same kind of people. After learning that Lan Ke had suffered misfortune for helping others, he was now taking action for others again.

“You’re just like an idiot…”

Although he was calling Lan Ke an idiot, he bit his lips unconsciously, but at this moment a fist hit his shoulder.

"What are you thinking? I haven't given up. I'm going to get my revenge when the time comes. Hey! What do you mean by that look? I mean, once I become famous, I'll find an opportunity to expose everything they've done, and then we'll see what they'll do. If you're also upset with those guys, then help me investigate them. This definitely isn't the first time they've done something like this."

It's not that Lan Ke hasn't considered "changing his mind", but one reason is that the distance is too far and he needs to go back to his hometown first. Another reason is that if he does so, it may expose his identity. After all, if the connection is too obvious, it is very likely that people will notice his connection with the Phantom Thief.

However, Lan Ke is not a good guy who would let them go so easily. This can be imagined from the fact that Lan Ke asked Kudo Shinichi to investigate the other party.

When Lan Ke was a child, one of the most vicious curses he knew was "Conan will come to your house to shoot an episode." Although the effect didn't seem to be as good as after he became smaller, it wasn't too bad judging from everyone's experience in recent times.

When Kudo Shinichi comes to the door, if those guys don't do anything excessive, at most they will be exposed. But if they happen to have a mortal enemy with someone... then it's hard to say.

In the face of Lan Ke's teasing, Kudo Shinichi was extremely serious.

"I will definitely help you clear your name, Ming Shang!!"

"We'll talk about it later. There's no rush for now. I actually prefer the 'self-confrontation' scenario. Besides, I didn't have many friends in my old school. Changing the environment has actually helped me make a lot of friends. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise."

Lan Ke was naturally not that careless, but he was not saying this casually. In his opinion, he liked his current school better than the uneventful "original school" in his memory.

After all, the people he met now all had a "connection" with him without knowing his "specialness".

If it were in the past, he might have been a little cynical. After all, his past experiences had made him instinctively wary and resistant to strangers.

It’s like those animals who once chose to trust humans because they were helped by humans, but were eventually harmed by other humans.

At this time, Lan Ke seemed to understand why his assistant was a cat.

But now he won't do that anymore. He has reaffirmed his resolve and started to trust others...

Chapter 14 'You and him are not suitable...'

The chance encounter in the morning was just an ordinary thing in the day for Lan Ke, Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran. Perhaps many years later they would smile knowingly when they recalled what happened today, but at this moment they did not take it to heart.

Classes, quizzes, breaks...

The cycle continues until lunchtime.

However, unlike before, when Suzuki Sonoko invited Lan Ke to have "lunch" together again, Lan Ke put his hands together in front of him.

"Sorry, I have something to do at noon today!"

Compared to Kudo Shinichi, with whom Ran often participates in activities outside of school, and the possibility that Ran Mouri will randomly appear next to Kudo Shinichi outside of school, Suzuki Sonoko, who also met Ran on the first day of transferring to school, spends a slightly shorter time with Ran.

But the other party's help to Lan Ke was no less than that of the other two. Not only did he invite Lan Ke to have lunch together every day at noon, he would also remind Lan Ke which dishes in the cafeteria were more delicious or which courses required changing classrooms.

It was just because the other party usually left in the family's special car after school, and because of his gender, Lan Ke deliberately avoided suspicion, so the time they spent together was a little shorter, but the other party treated Lan Ke the same as always.

Now that the other party has invited him and he cannot accept the invitation, Lan Ke naturally chooses to apologize.

However, Lan Ke's reaction seemed to surprise Suzuki Sonoko, and made her feel a little embarrassed. She quickly waved her hand to indicate that everything was fine.

Looking at the backs of Lan Ke and Shirou Emiya leaving together, Mao Li Ran couldn't help but tease in a low voice.

"Don't you usually approach handsome guys when you see them, Sonoko? Why are you being so reserved this time around Narukami-san?"

I don’t know if it’s because she’s often teased by Suzuki Sonoko, but Ran Mouri, who finally “fights back” this time, is actually a little excited.

But she was serious about what she said.

Although Suzuki Sonoko often jokes about herself and Kudo Shinichi, she never jokes about this kind of thing with the other party. After all, she knows very well how strange her friend's "luck" is. Basically, any opposite sex she likes is basically proved to be a "scumbag" in the end.

So she didn't want her friend to regret it for the rest of her life because of her momentary joke.

匌○弌弍②ノ╲⒊澪⒐ba

But Lan Ke was clearly an accident.

First of all, the other party has won the approval of Kudo Shinichi. She knows her childhood sweetheart's character very well. Maybe he has good intentions, but he is very proud. Most people would look down on him. However, he can become friends with Lan Ke, which at least shows that there is something in Lan Ke that the other party likes.

Secondly, it was Lan Ke's character or moral integrity. In her opinion, whether it was being punished for helping others, or solving a case with her childhood sweetheart for a stranger...

Compared to others, Lan Ke is definitely a good choice!

What’s more important is that they have seen what Lan Ke looks like when he takes off his glasses.

Compared to being inconspicuous when wearing glasses, the other person looked two points cooler and more handsome after taking off his glasses. Mao Lilan suspected that it might be because the glasses frame covered part of his face shape, and his hair covered part of it.

But no matter what, your appearance should conform to the other person's aesthetic taste.

Looking at his childhood sweetheart trying to match Lan Ke and Suzuki Sonoko, Kudo Shinichi seemed to be hesitant to speak for a moment, as if he didn't know how to start.

Although he often complains that the other party is a "gossip", it is mostly just mutual complaints between friends. Who asked the other party to urge himself and Ran Maoli for no reason?

Doesn't he have any shame? Doesn't he have any dignity?

But other than that, they have a very good relationship, otherwise they wouldn't be friends.
