Ran Mouri went back to the kitchen and finished cooking the rest of the dishes.

Dinner was more lavish than yesterday's.

Firstly, I received extra income from someone in the past two days.

Secondly, it was to celebrate Conan's arrival.

However, after witnessing Conan's perverted behavior,

During dinner, Ran Mouri completely ignored Conan and only spoke to Chu Zhong.

"So you really are the new transfer student?"

"Don't be late for school tomorrow."

As Ran Mouri spoke, she suddenly moved closer to Chu Zhong, her voice softening as if she were whispering, "By the way, when did you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Conan stared straight at him, his little face full of surprise and doubt.

Ran Mouri pursed her lips, as if her interest had been dampened, and didn't finish her sentence.

This piqued Chu Zhong's curiosity.

During the meal earlier, Xiaolan seemed to be hesitant to speak as well.

What exactly do I want to say to him?

I'll have to ask Xiaolan about it separately when I have the chance.

Chu Zhong continued to enjoy the delicious meal that Xiao Lan had cooked.

During this time, Conan's gaze became increasingly intense, carrying a clear sense of annoyance.

"Conan! Focus on your food!"

Ran Mouri said coldly, "You lied and framed people all you wanted, and Chu Zhong didn't even hold it against you. What are you pretending to be a victim for?!"

"If you don't behave, I'll tell Dad what you just did!"

Not only did they commit perverted acts against women's underwear, but they also arbitrarily framed people for crimes, and even felt that they were innocent.

In Ran Mouri's eyes, Conan is now a complete problem child, and one with a serious illness at that.

If we're not strict, how will we be able to discipline them in the future?

"..." Conan pouted, looking extremely aggrieved, and lowered his gaze to eat.

This pitiful look...

Chu Zhong couldn't help but laugh.

Conan, now he knows he's been wronged.

Why weren't you afraid when you were following Gin and vodka?

How dare you come to the Mori family's house? Aren't you afraid that the people from the brewery will find your childhood photos and expose your identity?

At that time, the Mori family will also be dragged down with them.

Even he, who lives next door, will face pursuit from the distillery.

Chu Zhong had absolutely no liking for Conan, who was harming both himself and others.

Adding to what Sonoko said about Conan's bad deeds,

Having already decided to make a big move, Chu Zhong naturally wanted to nip any potential opportunities for Conan to gain an advantage in the bud.

In retrospect, the cost of using two immobilization spells was well worth it.

Ran was clearly wary of Conan and laid down three rules: Conan was not allowed to stay alone on the third floor except for meals and showers.

hiccup~

Chu Zhong was in a good mood and had a good appetite, eating three large bowls of rice.

Perhaps seeing how popular her cooking was, Ran Mouri's face regained a smile.

"Conan! Go help wash the dishes!"

After dinner, Chu Zhong was helping to clear the dishes, while Ran Mouri was already ordering Conan around.

Faced with Ran Mouri's unfriendly expression, Conan dared not refuse and could only silently wash the dishes.

living room,

Ran Mouri, who was sitting on the sofa supervising, said, "Conan must have been spoiled at home to develop such a strange personality."

"I hope that doing housework will cultivate his independence, so that he won't become like Shinichi in the future, who doesn't do housework and only cares about cases."

Chu Zhong then asked a few more questions.

Only then did I realize that Ran Mouri had learned from a similar experience.

Because Shinichi Kudo's past situation is 'very similar' to Conan's,

After starting junior high school, the Kudo couple settled abroad, leaving Shinichi Kudo alone at home.

Ran Mouri, Shinichi Kudo's childhood friend, couldn't stand seeing that his clothes weren't clean when he went to school, so she would go over to clean his house every few days.

Later, it was discovered that the Kudo family's refrigerator was filled with drinks and snacks, and they didn't eat properly.

At that time, Ran Mouri already had experience taking care of Kogoro Mouri's daily life, and she would occasionally cook an extra meal for Shinichi Kudo.

"But won't such selfless dedication eventually become something the other party takes for granted?"

Chu Zhong couldn't help but speak up, complaining on behalf of Ran Mouri.

"Exactly!" Ran Mouri complained, "I was only going to help out occasionally, but Shinichi later became too lazy to even wash his own clothes."

"They've piled up a week's worth of clothes, just waiting for me to help, even though it's just a matter of pressing the washing machine button..."

“When I asked him to do it himself, he always said there were important cases that needed to be solved as soon as possible…”

"He was always complaining about his lunchboxes, always eating snacks, and only eating a few bites of the main meal before giving up. Eventually, I stopped bringing them to him altogether, since he's only at school a few days a week anyway..."

"Helping solve cases is certainly a good thing, but always going to those dangerous places... besides, there are police officers around..."

This outpouring of grievances...

This also made Chu Zhong realize that the relationship between these childhood sweethearts seemed to be more distant than he had imagined.

I doubt Ran Mouri would take such 'intimate' care of Shinichi Kudo.

It's not because of any 'liking'.

Instead, he felt that without her help, Shinichi Kudo would end up like Kogoro Mouri, a dirty and smelly homeless man, or even starve to death.

Simply put, Ran Mouri's maternal love is too excessive.

I feel sorry for stray dogs when I see them on the street.

Not to mention facing Shinichi Kudo, whom she has known since childhood.

"From this perspective, it is indeed necessary to cultivate Conan's ability to live independently."

Chu Zhong agreed with Ran Mouri's 'educational policy' towards Conan.

Ran Mouri seemed relieved to receive confirmation. She bit her lip, as if gathering her courage again, and asked, "By the way, when..."

Then another gaze, like a light bulb, swept over them.

They then discovered that Conan had just finished washing the dishes and was about to hide next to the sofa to eavesdrop.

"Conan! Pack your things and go upstairs!"

Once again, her conversation was ruined. Ran Mouri said irritably, "You'll have to clean up the storage room on the second floor yourself later!"

With that, he went to supervise Conan.

It was already 9 p.m.

Chu Zhong greeted them and then went home to take a shower and go to bed.

Chu Zhong woke up promptly at midnight.

the other side,

On the second floor of the Mori office, in the storage room.

"That damned Chu Zhong, he made me get scolded by Xiao Lan..."

"Just wait! Sooner or later, your true colors will be revealed!"

"But how did he manage to do that?!"

Conan, filled with anger and doubt, went to sleep unwillingly.

The third floor, the young girl's boudoir.

Ran Mouri, fast asleep, appears to be lying on the slowly rising and falling surface of the sea.

It was gently swayed back and forth rhythmically by the waves.

The girl's breathing gradually became heavy...

Chapter 21 Xiaolan is so naughty, but I like her so much, what should I do?

Six o'clock in the morning,

When Chu Zhong once again used the key to open the third floor of the Maori house...

The sound of running water came again from the direction of the bathroom.

Looking at the balcony area again,

The air-conditioning quilt that was just dried yesterday afternoon has now been soaked in water and washed again.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it.

Even though Chu Zhong had considerable combat experience,

Strive to unleash your strongest combat power in dungeons as well.

But Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, has a whopping 690,000 HP, which is no joke.

Fortunately, I had accumulated quite a few chocolate items in the first two dungeons.

With the addition of a stun spell, Chu Zhong was able to freely charge into battle, fight bravely, and sweep through enemy lines in the dungeon.

Finally, at 3 a.m., I won three matches and defeated the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan once again.

Winning three games will reward you with 3000 experience points and 3300 spirit essence.

Getting an S rating will grant you a reward of 5000 experience points and 5500 spirit essence.

[1 skill point gained upon level up]

The Immobilization spell is now maxed out, and the mana reduction enhancement branch is also maxed out.

The other two enhancement branches seem to be effective, but they both increase mana consumption.

Currently, the maximum mana is only 100, which cannot be wasted.

Chu Zhong decided to strengthen his own attributes first.

Mana is currently the attribute with the highest return on investment.
