"Conan, what are we doing? Was that person just Ms. Yoko Okino?"
"Yeah, yeah, Conan, wasn't it?" Mitsuhiko echoed from the side, pushing up the glasses on his nose, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Facing these three, Conan felt a wave of helplessness and couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking, "You guys are unbelievable!"
Outwardly, he still tried to remain calm, nodding and saying, "Yes, that was indeed Ms. Yoko Okino."
It was all Professor Agasa's fault. He said that since he had turned into a child, he should go to school to avoid arousing suspicion and exposing his true identity.
With no other choice, Conan had to grit his teeth and start his elementary school life.
"Are you kidding me? A high school student like me has to go to elementary school!" Conan complained in his heart while weakly slumping on his desk, frantically rubbing his head.
He felt like every day was an eternity, and he also had to endure the pestering of a bunch of little kids.
After finally enduring until school was dismissed, Conan was about to get up and head to Professor Agasa's house to ask if there was any new progress regarding the Black Organization when he suddenly heard a shout from behind him:
"Let's go home together, Conan!"
Conan turned his head and saw Ayumi and her two followers, Mitsuhiko and Genta, rushing towards him.
"You must be shy since you just transferred, right? We'll be your friends!"
Ayumi enthusiastically took Conan's hand, her eyes full of sincerity.
"Hehe, no need!"
Please, would a high school Detective like me be shy? Conan refused, looking speechless.
"You brat, Ayumi said something, and you dare to disobey?"
Huh? Are you telling me this fella is 8 years old? Conan looked at Kojima Genta, who was raising his fist and was a bit overweight, and he was also a little flustered.
Fortunately, Mitsuhiko, who was next to him, stopped Kojima Genta in time, "Genta, can you not be so rough?"
"Less nonsense, do you dare to complain?"
"Don't be like this, Genta."
While Ayumi was mediating, Conan quickly dropped a sentence and Ran away.
"I have something to do, I'm leaving, bye-bye."
"Ah, wait, Conan."
But Conan pretended not to hear Ayumi. Ridiculous, how do I have time to play house with you guys!
...So, how did you three manage to follow all the way here?
Conan originally thought that if he wanted to track down the Black Organization, perhaps staying at the Detective Agency would give him more opportunities to encounter related cases.
So, after getting the voice-changing bowtie from Professor Agasa, he eagerly rushed to Ran's place, planning to observe secretly.
Who knew that as soon as he arrived at his destination, while stealthily looking around, he was suddenly lightly tapped on the back.
"Conan, what are you doing here?"
It scared Conan so much he almost screamed. He turned around only to find that it was Ayumi and the other two who had appeared behind him at some point.
"Mouri Detective Agency… Conan, are you playing a Detective game?" Ayumi asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.
"Wow, really, Conan? Then take us to play too!" Genta was so excited his face turned red.
"Yeah, yeah, as long as you agree to let us join, we'll let bygones be bygones about you running off and leaving us behind earlier," Mitsuhiko echoed.
Facing these three excited faces, Conan ultimately had no choice but to grit his teeth and nod in agreement.
"Yay! In that case, let's solve all sorts of strange and unsolved cases together!"
The three immediately cheered joyfully.
As the four of them were huddled together secretly discussing what the organization should be called, they suddenly caught sight of a car pulling up below the Detective Agency.
Immediately after, the scene at the beginning of the story occurred.
"You three stay here obediently! I'm going up to check things out and figure out what's going on. Did you all hear me?" Conan instructed the three with a serious expression.
"We know!" The three answered in unison.
"And Conan, you have to tell us what you find out later, okay?" Ayumi didn't forget to add a reminder.
After giving his instructions, Conan quickly rushed upstairs… "Hello, I have something I'd like to entrust to Detective Mouri…"
Yoko Okino softly said to Ran, who approached, but her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Hanyu Nan, who was inside the room, looking at her with a playful expression.
"Yoko, why don't we just go to another agency, find a more professional one."
Yamagishi Eiichi, the manager following behind Yoko Okino, muttered in a low voice.
After all, Kogoro Mouri's series of actions just now made it hard to believe his professionalism.
"Forget it, it's quite late now. Since we're already here, let's just see for now!" Yoko Okino shook her head.
After Yoko Okino turned her head and said something, she turned back to Ran and introduced, "This is my manager, Mr. Yamagishi Eiichi. We're here this time with an important request that we'd like Mr. Mouri to help us with."
Hanyu Nan, who was sitting in the room, also stood up and proactively invited the two to come in and sit down.
"Ran, please make two cups of hot tea for these two guests."
Listening to Hanyu Nan's words, Ran obediently nodded in agreement, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
"May I ask who you are?"
Gazing at the smiling, handsome man in front of her, who inexplicably inspired trust.
Yoko Okino's smooth cheeks flushed slightly.
Hanyu Nan's lips curved slightly, and he politely replied, "You must be the famous Ms. Yoko Okino yourself, right! A pleasure to meet you, a pleasure. My name is Hanyu Nan. Uncle Mouri will be here shortly. Let's rest for a moment and wait."
Hanyu Nan behaved very courteously. This was an opportunity to make a good impression on Ran and Kogoro Mouri.
Just as Ran brought the tea back, she saw the bedroom door open again.
Kogoro Mouri, meticulously dressed and groomed, leaned against the doorframe, holding a vibrant red rose.
"You seem to have something on your mind, beautiful lady." Kogoro Mouri asked softly, a gentle and gentlemanly smile on his lips, to the woman before him.
"Hmm… indeed."
Yoko Okino was also shocked by Kogoro Mouri, who seemed like a changed man, and slowly nodded.
Hanyu Nan, beside them, helplessly rubbed his forehead, secretly thinking to himself, this is too outrageous!
He had thought the plot in the anime was already exaggerated enough, but reality was even more unreasonable. Uncle, who are you? Don't you realize you're glowing? What happened to science? Is it really Conan Science!
