Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

Ryougi Shiki doesn't actually have any complaints about her work.

After all, I'm in a state of vacation most of the year.

They were already being treated very well, so even if the work was arranged temporarily, they had no complaints.

But Ryougi Shiki was really annoyed by that short, white-haired guy.

I don't know who that guy learned it from.

I've been craving food for the past few years.

Sometimes Ryougi Shiki can't help but want to give this guy a good beating.

“Oh God.”

After a quick glance at the documents in her hand, Ryougi Shiki didn't pay much attention to them.

Although she has already killed quite a few of those wild spirits in the mountains of Japan.

Some who claimed to be immortal were also cut into pieces by her.

But this is the first time I've seen someone labeled as a true god.

After all, the existence of these gods is something that humans cannot observe or understand.

It is only because of various special circumstances that it appears in a form that humans can understand.

Humanity's understanding of God is absolutely wrong.

Or perhaps humans can only understand one aspect of God.

Back at her post, Ryougi Shiki leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.

Although it was publicly stated that he was on vacation.

But over the past few years, Ryougi Shiki has been using her own eyes to observe life in this world.

They also observed various postures of death firsthand.

It's not like in the past, where a lot of 'death' was directly instilled into my mind; instead, I witnessed it from my own perspective.

Although compared to the death in my mind, it is just a drop in the ocean.

However, Ryougi Shiki also benefited greatly.

If one day Ryougi Shiki can truly understand all the 'death' in her mind and make it a part of herself.

Then her power will experience a qualitative leap.

At present, this is still a long way off.

Chapter 1046 Adults Need to Consider Their Words and Actions

Back in Beika Town, Conan was still thinking about Chiba.

"No, there are too few clues."

"There isn't enough time either."

He rubbed his head and let out a long sigh.

At the moment, Conan has absolutely no clue.

My mind is a mess.

Some even get stuck on trivial details.

Because of his preconceived notion that this was definitely a murder case, Conan also felt that the death of Akane Minagawa was full of problems.

After all, Akane Minagawa's reaction that day was quite strange.

I don't know how I suddenly found them, and their behavior was a bit strange.

Conan couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

But her detective instincts told her that Minagawa Akane was definitely hiding something.

As for what exactly is hidden, that's for him, the detective, to uncover.

'Whatever you're hiding, I'll find out.'

Clenching his fists, Conan's eyes were filled with fighting spirit and fire.

For Conan, nothing excites him more than solving cases.

"We've arrived, Shinichi."

As dusk fell, a weary Professor Agasa parked his car below the Mouri Detective Agency.

Although he was so tired that he wanted to lie down in bed immediately, Professor Agasa still gave Conan serious instructions and discussed their statements with him to prevent him from giving anything away.

It has to be said that Professor Agasa is really good to Conan.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it pampering.

"Then I'll be going, Professor Agasa."

After getting out of the car, Conan waved to Professor Agasa and prepared to go upstairs.

Out of the corner of his eye, Conan noticed the lights were still on upstairs, but he didn't think much of it.

But the younger generation going upstairs—

"I come back........"

"You brat, we need to talk."

Kogoro Mouri abruptly interrupted Conan, looking at him with an unfriendly expression.

When you like someone, even if they're acting crazy, you'll still find them interesting.

When you dislike someone, even if they save someone, you'll still think they're just putting on a show.

Now, Kogoro Mouri is very unhappy with Conan.

"dad....."

"Xiao Lan, you should go back to your room first."

Similarly, interrupting Ran, Kogoro Mouri rarely displayed the authority of the head of the family.

The usually unreliable Kogoro Mouri, when he becomes serious, gives off an inexplicable sense of pressure.

Ran Mouri opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, he silently returned to his room.

Although Kogoro Mouri had just returned, he didn't reveal much to her.

But Xiaolan already had a guess in her heart.

No matter what, Kogoro Mouri would never speak to a child in that tone.

Kogoro Mouri is actually quite tolerant of his bratty kids.

But this current state clearly indicates that something else is going on.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

He stared directly at Conan until Conan felt a chill run down his spine before finally looking away.

No matter how disrespectful or mischievous they usually are.

Kogoro Mouri is, after all, Conan's elder.

In Japan, it's best for young people not to interrupt when their elders get serious.

You will be surrounded and attacked by a group of people.

Moreover, Conan is, strictly speaking, living under someone else's roof.

"Um, Uncle Mori."

Conan was also feeling a little guilty at this moment.

After all, he had secretly gone to Chiba to investigate today despite being forbidden by Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri isn't stupid, and neither is Conan.

Now that he's calmed down, Conan realizes that his actions were actually inappropriate.

"Click."

"Whoo~"

Ignoring Conan, Kogoro Mouri took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it.

Gray smoke was exhaled from his mouth.

The scent of nicotine unconsciously soothes and pleases the nerves.

But Kogoro Mouri's tightly furrowed brows showed no sign of relaxing even in the smoke.

After a few seconds, realizing that Conan didn't seem to have any intention of explaining anything, Kogoro Mouri shook his head in disappointment.

After pondering for a moment, he said:

"You rode in Professor Agasa's car to Chiba today, and I was actually following behind the whole time."

Upon hearing this, Conan almost jumped off the sofa.

But Kogoro Mouri, without offering any explanation, continued speaking to himself:

“I’ve seen everything from you to Chiba, then to you using my name to go to Officer Hyakki, and then to investigating Minagawa-sensei and that Luo Zhen classmate.”

"I must say, you have a very keen sense of smell as a detective."

In fact, Kogoro Mouri couldn't keep up with Conan's train of thought the whole way. Sometimes Conan would look at something thoughtfully, while Kogoro could only look on blankly.

But as a seasoned veteran of society, he naturally had his own way of solving problems, which was to contact friends.

He also learned some information from Officer Bai Gui.

That's when I understood some of Conan's thoughts and actions.

“However, from my personal point of view, I don’t really want you to continue living in my house.”

Just a moment ago, Kogoro Mouri seemed to be praising someone, but his tone suddenly changed, and he spoke in an almost icy tone.

"You haven't made any progress at all in all this time."

“He repeatedly took Xiaolan to dangerous places and then abandoned her to solve the case himself.”

"They always ignore the advice and suggestions of others."

"Oh, except for that brat from Osaka."

"You may only see the words of people at your level as valuable, while others who cannot keep up with your thinking are just tools for your personal reasoning show."

After speaking at length, Kogoro Mouri paused slightly.

Normally he wouldn't say something like that.

His years of experience in interpersonal relationships had made him tactful, and he habitually left room for maneuver in his speech.

But not now.

He had actually been thinking of giving Conan a little face.

But once he started talking about it, Kogoro Mouri found himself saying a lot without realizing it.

All the resentment in my heart was released at once.

After saying it out loud, Kogoro Mouri felt much better.

The reason I said so much at once was not only because of my resentment, but also because I was worried that Conan would argue with me after he realized what was going on, and that I might accidentally be outdone by this brat.

"You brat, strictly speaking, you're already eighteen years old, you're an adult."

"Adults should think more about the consequences of their words and actions."

Standing up, Kogoro Mouri straightened his suit and then stubbed out his cigarette in a clean ashtray.

Although Kogoro Mouri is a heavy smoker, his house is usually kept clean and tidy because Ran is always very diligent in cleaning.

"I've already contacted Yusaku and Yukiko on my way back. You should talk to them too."

Seeing Conan's stunned expression, Kogoro Mouri sighed and turned back into his room.
