"You know what? It seems like there's been a bra thief in Beika recently."
Ran looked up in surprise and asked, "Huh? Is that true? How come I've never heard of it?" A hint of confusion appeared on her face.
Yuusheng Nan quickly explained, "I only heard it from others, but apparently, this bra thief is just a young kid!"
Ran's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "Really? There's such a perverted child?" She couldn't imagine how there could be such a child.
Yuusheng Nan smiled and comforted her, "Oh, kids nowadays mature earlier, so Ran, you should still be extra careful."
Ran nodded seriously and replied, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for the reminder." Although she was half-skeptical about the rumor, she decided to be more cautious in the future.
Of course, there was no such rumor! This was just Yuusheng Nan being unable to shake off his worry for that kid Conan, so he had to add another layer of insurance. As long as he got a chance to annoy Conan, Yuusheng Nan would declare, "Let me do it, I'll be even more ruthless!"
..."I'm home. Thank you so much for walking me back, Nan."
"Mouri Detective Agency... I bet your father, Ran, must be a famous Great Detective."
Hearing this, Ran's face showed a slightly embarrassed smile, and she softly said, "Well... my father is indeed a Detective, but he's not really a famous Great Detective."
"Ah, I see! I suppose Uncle must be quite humble and low-key."
"Haha, maybe!" Ran, hearing Yuusheng Nan's words, didn't want to complain too much about her usually muddle-headed father.
However, Yuusheng Nan himself knew very well what kind of person Kogoro Mouri truly was.
Don't let his usual muddled appearance fool you; once his family is involved, he immediately reverts to the brilliant police academy ace he once was.
"Nan, why don't you come up and sit for a bit? You can even have dinner with us before heading back."
"No, thank you. I came too hastily; I can't just show up empty-handed."
Yuusheng Nan also politely declined Ran's offer, as he understood the principle of not overdoing things.
Ran, however, said it was fine; friends visiting didn't need to bring anything. But seeing that Yuusheng Nan truly wasn't planning to come up, she could only wave goodbye... Returning home, he pushed open the heavy door and stepped into the spacious and quiet hall.
Yuusheng Nan couldn't help but sigh, "This house is too big; it's become a burden. This empty feeling needs some lovely ladies to liven it up!"
In reality, during the time he didn't have enough self-defense capabilities, Yuusheng Nan never considered such things. However, after he obtained the Snake Talisman and his personal safety was guaranteed, his mindset gradually underwent some subtle changes.
Preparing to make dinner for himself, Yuusheng Nan opened the refrigerator and looked at the few ingredients left inside.
This country, Neon, is adjacent to the sea, so most of its citizens have a soft spot for seafood.
Japanese cuisine is also filled with a large number of delicacies made from seafood, as the saying goes, "Those who live near the mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near the sea live off the sea."
But what puzzled Yuusheng Nan was that despite being a country right by the ocean, they chose to dump nuclear wastewater into the sea. Were they planning to dig their own graves?
Or what? Were they planning to raise a Godzilla to carry them to glory? This baffling way of thinking truly makes one "think outside the box."
However, Yuusheng Nan still preferred the traditional cuisine of his former country and found it difficult to adapt to Neon's dishes.
He simply cooked a pot of white rice, then took out the last remaining eggs and tomatoes from the refrigerator, skillfully preparing a delicious tomato scrambled egg. In addition, there were some chili peppers and pork, which were perfect for making a plate of spicy and delicious stir-fried pork with chili...
After a hearty meal, Yuusheng Nan tidied up a bit, then grabbed a bottle of beer and walked to the balcony, settling down leisurely. He took a sip of the cold beer, his gaze fixed on the bright moon in the sky, and his mood inexplicably became low.
"People today do not see the moon of ancient times; the moon of today once shone on people of ancient times."
Since coming to the Detective Conan World, as his life gradually stabilized, Yuusheng Nan began to search everywhere for news about his homeland.
At that time, a glimmer of hope still lingered in his heart, hoping that one day he could return to his hometown, for that was where his true roots lay.
But when he personally saw the map of this world, he was completely stunned—the land that originally belonged to his homeland was now a blank space on the map, turning into a vast ocean; his former home no longer existed!
At that time, he was completely dumbfounded. After a thorough investigation and research, he discovered that things were not simple!
Regarding that mysterious blank area, the last existing record in this world stopped at the "Warring States" period. However, there was no clue or news about what exactly happened there.
However, this world was once filled with spiritual power. Now, if there are any records left of that place, it would probably only be with the sole witch of the Detective Conan World—Koizumi Akako.
Damn it! Although that old scoundrel Aoyama kept saying that detective conan and Magic Kaito belonged to two different worlds, even a football can hit a satellite, and you're telling me this is science? That's just nonsense!
And the key factor that made Yuusheng Nan firmly believe the two were the same world stemmed from his accidental glimpse of Koizumi Akako in a news report about Kaitou Kid.
It directly leaped from original Detective reasoning to a magic combat type! Is this a joke?
However, he had never actively sought out Koizumi Akako. For no other reason than Koizumi Akako's mental state was truly concerning. Before he possessed enough power to subdue her, Koizumi Akako was undoubtedly the biggest threat in the Detective Conan World.
But now the situation is different. Conan has already appeared, the plot has begun to develop, and the system has gained spiritual energy support.
So, going to inquire with Koizumi Akako about relevant matters can now be put on the agenda.
After finishing the last sip of beer in his hand, he casually tossed the empty can into the nearby trash can.
After a quick wash-up, he lay on the bed, planning his schedule for tomorrow while gradually drifting off to sleep... (Since Koizumi Akako has been included, I'm wondering if Arsène Lupin III should also be included, after all, Fujiko Mine is the complete form of Yukiko and Vermouth.)
