That old hag, I can't mess with her, I can't mess with her.

Chu Zhong was secretly alarmed.

If it weren't for the words above his head, no one would have guessed that the handsome young male school doctor in front of him would be one of the core members of the brewery—the Thousand-Faced Witch, Vermouth!

Not only was her face disguised, but her figure also lost all traces of female characteristics.

This disguise technique is truly superb.

They must have come to the school to investigate Shinichi Kudo, whose fate is unknown and who is currently missing.

Fortunately, the Thousand-Faced Witch is a role-playing character, so as long as she pretends not to recognize her true form, there will be no danger.

"Well... I'll go to today's practice now..."

After Ran Mouri finished speaking, she quickly left, her cheeks flushed with a healthy blush.

"Then I'll go watch Xiaolan practice..."

After Yuanzi finished speaking, she also left.

What Chu Zhong couldn't quite understand was that

Why was Yuanzi sweating on her forehead and radiating heat as if she had been roasted by the sun?

Maybe we had a PE class just now...

Next, Chu Zhong planned to return to the agency to retrieve some items from the Conan instance.

After getting the loot, take a nap, then check what good stuff is in the Kogoro Mouri dungeon.

After that, take another nap, go to Xiaolan's instance, change your strategy, and play something easier...

Just thinking about it makes me feel fulfilled!

Karate Club

Today is the day when senior high school students come to the club to provide guidance and practice. Among them are many who have participated in regional or even national karate competitions.

With the college entrance exam approaching and students busy with their studies, senior members can only spare time to come to the club once or twice a week.

For the younger students in the karate club, the seniors' competition experience is invaluable.

Ran Mouri is currently the captain of the karate club. She recently participated in the Kanto region's Beika City Karate Tournament and won the women's singles championship.

Next, it's time to prepare for the Kanto region tournament through training.

"Come on! Xiaolan, let me see the champion's strength!"

"Tsukamoto-senpai, stop joking with me..."

Ran Mouri's sparring partner is mostly former karate captain Kazumi Tsukamoto, and the two are quite familiar with each other as a result.

However, in sparring sessions, Ran Mouri is often at a disadvantage.

Same today.

Short breaks during sparring

"Xiao Lan, I've said it many times, you are actually very strong, but you don't play freely, which affects your performance."

Kazumi Tsukamoto said seriously, "The city-level competition is fine, but the Kanto District competition... this kind of concern could very well prevent you from even getting a ranking."

A look of confusion crossed Ran Mouri's face. "But... I've already given it my all..."

“If you don’t even know the reason yourself… then you can only rely on luck…” Tsukamoto Kazumi shook her head helplessly.

The practice continues.

"Xiao Lan! You can do it!"

Sonoko sat in the audience, cheering on her best friend.

Surprisingly,

In the latter half of the sparring session, the situation fluctuated wildly.

Previously suppressed, Ran Mouri reversed her decline and fought Tsukamoto Kazumi to a standstill, even showing signs of gaining the upper hand.

Unfortunately, he made a careless move in the last step and was tripped by a sweeping leg kick from Tsukamoto Kazumi.

"You were playing so well, why did you suddenly get distracted?" Tsukamoto Kazumi helped Mouri Ran up.

Sonoko rushed over anxiously to check on her friend's injury and saw a noticeable bruise on her calf.

Ran Mouri explained somewhat awkwardly, "I suddenly couldn't think of a next move... my mind went completely blank..."

"Tsukamoto-senpai, you go ahead with your work, I'm fine."

Kazumi Tsukamoto nodded and then went to instruct the other juniors.

After all, bumps and bruises are common during sparring sessions at the karate club.

Sonoko helped her best friend to a seat to rest, then took out some medicated wine from her bag and helped apply it, saying:

"Xiaolan, why were you daydreaming just now?"

"Don't try to fob me off with that excuse you just gave me!"

Sonoko swept her gaze over with an expression that seemed to see right through her.

Ran Mouri could only explain, "It's nothing really... I was just imagining Tsukamoto-senpai as Chu Zhong."

For some reason, the thought of facing Chu Zhong during sparring filled the girl's fists with power and fighting spirit.

And I especially wanted to punch 'Chu Zhong' in the face a few times.

Suddenly, an image flashed through my mind: Chu Zhong pinned to the sofa, his hands raised forward...

This caused Ran Mouri to freeze during the sparring session.

"Why do you imagine it as Chu?" Sonoko pressed.

"Because he's really good, he could defeat me in one move... Didn't I tell you that before?"

"Really? I thought you, Xiaolan, were seduced by his good looks and deliberately let him pass..."

"Sonoko, don't talk nonsense..." A hint of panic flashed in Ran Mouri's eyes, "How can you throw a punch at someone you like?"

Sonoko couldn't help but nod: "That's true."

The bruises were quite large, and even after applying medicated wine, the pain didn't subside quickly.

Ran Mouri's movements were not smooth, so she had to end today's training.

It was still early, so the two best friends strolled around the streets together after leaving school.

As they passed a wedding dress shop, the two girls stopped in their tracks at the same time.

"What a beautiful wedding dress..."

"Yes……"

There was a vague image, as if it flashed past my eyes.

The scene was so blurry that it was still vaguely recognizable as a wedding.

Sonoko's lips unconsciously curled up slightly: "I really want to see Ran in a wedding dress."

Then, jokingly, he asked, "Has the groom been decided yet? Shinichi?"

Ran Mouri glanced at her best friend and said, "You keep talking about Shinichi all the time. I think it's you, Sonoko, who has feelings for Shinichi, isn't it?"

"Pah, pah, pah, I can't stand that arrogant maniac. Only you, Xiaolan, take care of him like a mother hen. You might as well get married sooner rather than later."

"It's just occasionally helping with cleaning, it's not that big of a deal... Besides, Shinichi is quite popular at school."

"What do you mean?" Sonoko pricked up her gossipy ears.

It was only later that Ran Mouri discovered that she had seen love letters stuffed into Shinichi Kudo's shoe cabinet more than once, including those from his juniors and seniors.

Sonoko said disdainfully, "They don't really like him; they're just vain and want a boyfriend they can show off to others."

If you were to ask who is the most famous person at Teitan High School, it would undoubtedly be Shinichi Kudo, who appears in the newspaper every week.

"We can't generalize and condemn all people based on the same example." Ran Mouri changed the subject, asking instead, "Sonoko, what about you? When are you going to find the groom?"

"It's already been found, Xiaolan, you're just asking a question you already know the answer to..."

"what?"

"Chu Zhong! Didn't we say last time that we fell in love at first sight..."

Ran Mouri grabbed her best friend's shoulder: "Sonoko, are you serious?!"

"Otherwise what?" Sonoko retorted angrily, "Is it impossible that Chu Zhong likes me?"

"..." Ran Mouri was silent for a few seconds, "But you all seemed normal at school today... I really can't tell."

“Because love is about restraint!” Sonoko’s eyes sparkled with love: “Chu Zhong definitely wants to hug her tightly, but he’s too shy in front of so many people…”

"She's a girl, of course she should be a little reserved... I'll confess next time when I have the chance, and then... hehehe..."

As she talked, Sonoko drifted into a state of infatuation and daydreaming.

Ran Mouri sighed, rubbing her forehead: Sonoko has really gone off the rails again.

The two best friends shopped until sunset before parting ways, with Ran Mouri also buying dinner groceries on her way home.

[Players available for team play. Shall we team up to challenge the dungeon?]

[Selectable Team Members: Demon King-level Ran Mouri, Demon King-level Conan]

Chu Zhong had just started the challenge against Kogoro Mouri when he saw the pop-up notification, knowing that Ran would be back soon.

I originally planned to start the dungeon after school.

It turned out that Kogoro, who had been out all night, hadn't returned to the agency yet, and Conan was nowhere to be found either.

Just now, the two, one big and one small, appeared before us with smiles on their faces.

Upon asking, it was discovered that Conan had "accidentally" encountered Kogoro on the street that day, and had also "accidentally" stumbled upon a murder case.

Kogoro 'accidentally' fell into a coma and, while asleep, assisted the police in solving the case and catching the real culprit, which is why he returned a little late.

"I never thought I could solve a case while I was asleep!"

"Looks like I was born to be a detective!"

Kogoro was all smiles, gesturing wildly in the office, his tail practically wagging in the air.

Only Chu Zhong, standing to the side, understood that this was nothing more than the curse of the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student.

Then, consuming 500 Spirit Essence, he silently activated the Boss-level Kogoro dungeon.

As for the Conan episode... we won't need Death's Tears tonight, so let's skip it and save our mental energy.

For a mere boss-level dungeon, Chu Zhong certainly doesn't need outside help.

[Dungeon construction in progress...]

Chapter 28 Obstacle Course, the max-level stun effect of Euler.

Based on reality, the things around Chu are constantly changing, constructing a dungeon scenario for the boss-level character, Kogoro Mouri.

The originally cramped office was transformed into a spacious izakaya in the blink of an eye.

Kogoro transforms into an izakaya owner, standing behind the counter, enthusiastically serving bottles of beer and plates of snacks.

Bottled beer came crashing down on us like a wooden-handled grenade.

Chu Zhong quickly dodged, but the beer bottle shattered on the ground, and flying glass shards cut his arm.

It also comes with a brief period of continuous bleeding.

The spilled beer was still sizzling and steaming, corroding holes in the floor.
