Detective Conan: Developing a younger version of Ran Eri, and the stunning Yukiko.

"I was just making a casual remark."

"Stop being sentimental, let's continue our role-playing game. Who else would you like me to play?"

"Hmm... I'll play Sailor Moon."

"Sailor Moon? That's easy."

Yukiko Kudo stood up, ran to the vanity mirror, tied her hair into a bun with pigtails, applied some light makeup, and then put her sailor uniform back on.

"How is it? Does it look like it?"

Yukiko Kudo tossed her twin tails with both hands, put one hand on her hip, and struck a classic pose.

"Oh, oh, oh...it's just like her!" Shiraishihara's eyes lit up instantly, and he perked up again. Kudo Yukiko was already beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament; she looked good in anything. Her Sailor Moon cosplay was incredibly accurate. "A married woman version of Sailor Moon, it's simply amazing!" He jumped off the bed and stood next to Kudo Yukiko, carefully examining her. She was truly stunning, perfectly matching his expectations. "Sailor Moon, say one of your classic lines!"

Yukiko Kudo pondered for a moment, then shouted with righteous indignation: "Sailor Moon, the beautiful girl in a sailor uniform who embodies love and justice! I will act in Moon's name and destroy you!"

"That's quite convincing, really good." Shiraishihara praised Kudo Yukiko's acting skills. She dressed up convincingly, and her acting was just as good—that's what a proper cosplayer should be! To match Kudo Yukiko's style, he also wanted to cosplay a character. "In that case, I'll cosplay a character too. What kind of character should I play?"

“Of course it’s Tuxedo Mask,” Yukiko Kudo said without hesitation.

"I'm not going to play that kind of boring guy."

"So, who do you want to play?"

"demon!"

Yukiko Kudo's lips twitched slightly. Did she really not understand what Shiraishihara was thinking? He simply wanted to play the demon and bully her, the delicate Sailor Moon. She decided to strike first and teach this wicked demon a lesson!

"False love has no shadow, demon, I will destroy you!"

Yukiko Kudo suddenly pushed Shiraishihara down with force, then sat down hard on him with her round, big buttocks, and started punching him repeatedly, each punch landing solidly on his body.

"You wicked demon, I will shatter your energy and return it to nothingness."

Caught off guard, Shiraishihara tried to fight back, but Kudo Yukiko held his shoulders down with both hands, rendering him unable to move. He could only silently endure Kudo Yukiko's merciless attacks.

"Damn Sailor Moon!"

"Hahaha... Demon, you're dead!"

"Behold the power of the moon!"

"Moonlight, shine forth!"

The Moonlit Power emanating from Yukiko Kudo swirled like a vortex, relentlessly draining Shiraishihara's energy. Shiraishihara gritted his teeth, fighting back fiercely. As a demon, he had his pride; how could he easily let Sailor Moon succeed?

"Demons, are you still resisting? Crown of the Moon, strike!"

The moonlight shone brightly on Yukiko Kudo's delicate body, radiating a holy glow, and she beat Shiraishihara, who was playing the role of a demon, into a sorry state.

As Yukiko Kudo... slowly fell downwards...

Shiraishihara's situation wasn't much better; his vision suddenly went black, and he unconsciously exhaled a small white ghost.

Having exhausted the moon's power, Sailor Moon collapsed to the ground, fell into a coma, and lost consciousness.

The brutality of this battle exceeded the limits of what the brain could bear, turning Sailor Moon into a dazed and foolish person who only knew how to pursue victory and had completely lost her self-awareness.

Meanwhile, the defeated demons are slowly recovering their strength.

Not only did they become calmer and more rational, but their reactions also became less sluggish, allowing them to stay alert and regain normal thinking more quickly.

The demon glanced at the badly injured Sailor Moon, gently picked her up, and slapped her twice across the face, trying to wake her up.

Sailor Moon gasped in pain, slowly regaining her senses. She covered her cheek, looking aggrieved.

"Ouch...that hurts! Why did you hit me?"

"Listen, I'm a demon now!" The demon won't be polite to Sailor Moon, no matter how cute or adorable she tries to be. "Damn Sailor Moon, now it's my turn to fight back."

Sailor Moon panicked: "How did you recover so quickly!"

Huh? No, no...

Please…

"Go to hell, Sailor Moon."

"Ugh... Help me..."

At this moment, Sailor Moon's situation is extremely dangerous...

……

"Jingle Bell!"

The day's lessons passed in the blink of an eye. Shiraishihara had already given up being a plagiarist; it was just too hard work. He turned to practicing the Four Dhyanas and Eight Samadhis.

Cultivating the Four Dhyanas and Eight Samadhis requires no persona and allows one to master the Five Supernatural Powers. Isn't that much better than being a plagiarist?

Because he possessed the persona of a high priest, Shiraishihara mastered the complete training methods of the Four Dhyanas and Eight Samadhis.

Start by counting breaths, focusing only on inhalation and not on exhalation, or focusing only on exhalation and not on inhalation;

Next, enter the stage of observing the breath, clearly perceiving the length of the breath in your mind, without any mental attachment.

At this point, you may see an unstable meditative image when you close your eyes. Ignore the meditative image for now and continue to focus on your breath until the meditative image transforms into a stable visual image, and your breath and visual image become one.

Then shift your attention to the image, at which point you will notice that your breath and the image merge into light, and continue to focus on observing your breath.

Using breath as a foundation, one enters the first jhana in the sequence of "seeking, observing, joy, bliss, and oneness of mind".

After entering the first jhana, one continues to rely on breath to cultivate the four foundations of mindfulness. Through mindfulness of the body, one enters the second jhana; through mindfulness of feelings, one enters the third and fourth jhanas; through mindfulness of the mind, one enters the sphere of infinite space and the sphere of infinite consciousness; through mindfulness of phenomena, one enters the sphere of nothingness and the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception…

The melodious piano music began, its rhythm light and pleasant. Upon hearing the bell, the students of Teitan School cheered, their lips curving into bright smiles. They then began packing up to leave school.

As soon as school was over, Sonoko pulled Ran and Shiraishihara into her private car.

"Sonoko, what's going on? Why are you in such a hurry to take Ran and me home? You don't even have time to participate in club activities," Shiraishi asked curiously.

"That's right... I didn't even have time to ask the karate club for leave!" Ran said with a distressed expression.

"Kaito Kid has reappeared in the underworld again!" Sonoko exclaimed excitedly.

Ran exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Didn't the Osaka Prefectural Police say at the press conference that Kaito Kid was taken care of by Scorpion, who surrendered himself?"

"So... it was all a misunderstanding, Kaito Kid didn't die at all!" Sonoko explained.

"Why are you so excited that Phantom Thief Kid has returned?" Ran asked, looking puzzled.

"The three of us are all members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. It would be really interesting if the three of us worked together to catch Phantom Thief Kid, right?"

Sonoko's eyes lit up as she excitedly spoke.

"Sonoko, you're a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts too!" Ran exclaimed in surprise once again.

"Yes."

Ran looked at Shiraishi and asked, "Shiraishi-kun, how many people are in the Phantom Thieves of Hearts?"

Shiraishi Hara didn't hide anything, saying, "There are currently five people. Besides the three of us, there are Kudo Yukiko and Sato Miwako."

"Huh? Apart from Shiraishi-kun, the rest are all girls."

"That's right. Apart from me, the leader, all the other members are female. Phantom Thief Idol only has female idols, no male idols."

In light of this, a bold idea popped into Shiraishihara's mind:

He turned all the phantom thieves into his own harem; the so-called Phantom Thieves of Hearts was just a facade, and in reality, it was Shiraishihara's harem.

After some time, the three of them arrived at the Suzuki house.

The three sat in an elegantly decorated tea room, where high-quality black tea and various Western desserts were laid out on the tea table.

Sonoko mysteriously took out a piece of paper and showed it to Shiraishihara and Ran.

"Is there anything strange about this note?" Xiaolan frowned slightly, not understanding what Yuanzi meant.

Sonoko retorted, "This isn't just an ordinary note; it's a pre-announcement!"

"A notice?" Xiaolan looked bewildered.

Shiraishi picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and fell into deep thought.

Sonoko pointed to the letter in her hand and explained, "Actually, this notice was sent by Kaito Kid. He sent this notice specifically to steal my family heirloom!"

Shiraishi smiled slightly: "Kaito Kid is really persistent, always targeting the Suzuki family's treasures."

Sonoko said, "This time, Kaito Kid has his eye on my family heirloom."

Xiao Lan asked, "Yuanzi, what's your family heirloom?"

"My family heirloom is called the Black Star, also known as BLACKSTAR. It is the world's largest black pearl and a treasure that our Suzuki family has kept for over a hundred years!"

"Since my great-grandfather acquired this jet-black star, our Suzuki family has prospered more and more, which is why it is known as the Suzuki family heirloom!!"

"It was because Uncle Jirokichi kept this gem in his home that he and my father founded the Suzuki Group decades ago..."

My father always said that this dark star was the treasure that brought good fortune to our family.

Sonoko patiently explained the Suzuki family's heirloom.

No. .

135. Xiaolan's sheer orange dress exudes feminine charm while showcasing a masculine spirit.

Chapter 135

Ran suddenly realized, "I understand. That darn Phantom Thief Kid has his eye on Sonoko's treasures again. Shiraishi and I will definitely help you catch him and put him in jail."

"That's wonderful!" Sonoko smiled slightly. "The Beika Museum is currently hosting a jewelry exhibition, showcasing famous gemstones from all over the world."

My dad plans to exhibit the Dark Star too, you guys should come along! We'll use the Dark Star as bait to catch Phantom Thief Kid!

Shiraishi Hara calmly glanced at the notice in his hand, and a line of printed text came into view.

Aprilfool's Day.

When the moon separated the two

I will transform into the Dark Star

Riding the waves

Kaito Kid

At a tea party hosted by the Suzuki family, Ran and Sonoko chattered excitedly about Kaito Kid.

In reality, the two girls were more eager to hear Shiraishihara's opinion on the matter and were waiting expectantly for him to speak.

Ran and Sonoko looked at Shiraishihara with anticipation, but Shiraishihara poured cold water on their hopes.

“Look, the date on the notice is April Fool’s Day. Given Kaito Kid’s personality, he would never actually commit a theft on this day.”

"what?"

Ran and Sonoko were stunned for a moment, then quickly looked at the date marked on it, and sure enough, it was April Fool's Day.

Ran couldn't help but ask, "So, Kaito Kid didn't actually intend to steal Sonoko's jewels?"

Sonoko also asked in confusion, "What exactly is Phantom Thief Kid trying to do?"

Ran and Sonoko looked completely puzzled.

"Kaito Kid just wanted to play a trick on those stupid detectives at the Metropolitan Police Department, which is why he staged this farce. Of course, that doesn't mean he didn't want to steal Sonoko's jewels."

"Phantom Thief Kid is deliberately feinting, then choosing another time to steal again."

After Shiraishihara's explanation, Ran and Sonoko finally understood that Kaito Kid was just putting on a pointless farce.

The worst part is that the Metropolitan Police Department always cooperates with Kaito Kid's performance, as if they are willingly putting on a clown mask to highlight Kaito Kid's so-called high class.

Ran suddenly realized and said, "That means Kaito Kid won't steal on April Fool's Day, but will choose another day."

Sonoko then asked, "So when will the other date be?"

"I think that when the Suzuki Foundation holds its 60th anniversary celebration, the Dark Star will be on display on the cruise ship where the celebration is held. Kaito Kid will probably take advantage of this time to make a move on the Dark Star."

The Suzuki Foundation is about to celebrate its 60th anniversary and will be holding a celebration on a cruise ship, a fact that has been publicly announced through the media for some time.

"How boring, we have to wait until the 60th anniversary celebration."

Sonoko pouted. She didn't really care about the Dark Star; she just wanted to catch Kaito Kid with her friends.
