Chapter 0403

"Aren't you angry? I... I lied to you... I know I shouldn't have done this, but... but... I don't want you to get involved with the organization..."

Mao Lilan reached out and pointed her finger at Conan's mouth. "I know." She said, "I know you want to protect me."

Conan saw tears in Ran Mouri's eyes.

"I am indeed very sad...but, Ke...Shinichi, but I also know your feelings for me. You said you wanted to protect me and didn't want me to be in danger. I believed it."

"I just...feel sorry for you..."

"I said before, I never get tired of waiting, because the longer I wait, the happier I will be when we meet again. Although we are not... but I am sincerely looking forward to seeing you."

"But I... can't go back, I can only be a child..." Conan was so fragile at this moment.

Could anything be more painful to him than what he was experiencing now?

there is none left……

His Xiaolan never blamed him, never blamed him for his deception. But... he couldn't change back.

"It's okay, I will wait for you until you grow up." Ran Mouri looked at Conan firmly.

When Conan heard the news, he was surprised at first, but he soon realized what Xiaolan meant.

"No...no...we..." How could he treat Xiaolan like that?

Xiaolan has been waiting for him for so long, how could he continue to let Xiaolan wait?

"Okay, Shinichi, listen to me." Mao Lilan interrupted Conan, "Just like you said, we have known each other since childhood, and at that time I decided that you would be the one to accompany me for the rest of my life."

"I never thought that person wasn't you... As long as it's you, I don't care if it's Conan or Shinichi, as long as it's you, it's enough."

"But..." Conan's heart began to waver.

But Mao Lilan's attitude was firm. She said she would wait for Conan to grow up.

Although the two did not reach a consensus, they reached a preliminary understanding on the topic.

Afterwards, after Kogoro Mouri returned home, Conan and Ran Mouri told Kogoro Mouri what happened.

Perhaps it is because Kudo Shinichi still looks like Conan. Although the battle with the organization has ended, Conan's existence itself represents that this world is still fake. Of course, in other words, Conan is still the protagonist of this world.

Therefore, Kogoro Mouri did not feel any physical discomfort after being injected with so many anesthetic needles. After knowing that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, he was not concerned about anything else, such as whether Conan was in danger or being used. Instead, he was concerned about what would happen to his reputation as a famous detective if he could no longer use Conan in the future.

Of course, the same is true for Mao Lilan.

Ran Mouri's heart and eyes are filled with Kudo Shinichi, so naturally there is nothing else in her eyes except him.

With Mori Ran's insistence, although Mori Kogoro was still a little reluctant, out of respect for his daughter, he finally agreed to their relationship.

However, the relationship between the two of them was destined to suffer hardships.

If we say that Xiaolan's care for Conan is the love of an elder for a younger person, and the care of a sister for her younger brother, then no matter how close they appear to be, other people will only praise Xiaolan as a good person and a good candidate for a wife in the future.

But if Conan and Ran Mouri were in love, it would be different.

In fact, no one thought of this at the beginning, but emotions are something that cannot be controlled. The more you try to cover them up, the more obvious they become.

Especially since Mao Lilan has already graduated from college and hasn't thought about finding a boyfriend yet...

Suzuki Sonoko was also very worried before and had always wanted to introduce a boyfriend to Mouri Ran, but was rejected by Mouri Ran.

Later... Ran Maoli told Suzuki Sonoko about Kudo Shinichi...

Although Sonoko was very dissatisfied at first, she had to give in since Xiaolan insisted.

However, this is not a big obstacle...

It's already the 21st century, and the dangers of marriage between close relatives are no longer a secret. But in Japan, marriage between cousins ​​is still protected by law?

Moreover, there are so many combinations of older men and younger wives that other people cannot accept it.

After it was accidentally revealed that Mouri Ran was in love with "Conan", the other people around them immediately changed their faces, pointing fingers at the two of them, and wishing to attack them with the most vicious words in the world.

Conan was naturally unwilling to let go, but he didn't want Xiaolan to suffer this.

Conan couldn't help but start to back down.

But Mao Lilan's performance was beyond his expectations.

Conan knew very well that Ran Mouri was a very strong person. Conan was afraid that Ran would be sad, but Ran seemed to be fine and was unaffected as usual.

Since Xiaolan is not afraid, how could he retreat first?

The relationship between the two became closer.

After that, it was still the same as usual.

However...in this matter, Ayumi is the one who can't accept it the most.

Although it has long been known that Conan and Xiaolan have a close relationship.

She used to be worried that the two would fall in love, but as she grew older, Ayumi felt that Conan only had a family affection for Xiaolan. After all, there was a big age gap between them, and Xiaolan had a childhood sweetheart.

but……

Anyway, there is no need to keep it secret now, and he and Ayumi can be considered as another kind of "childhood sweethearts", so Conan naturally does not want to make Ayumi sad.

So, on a sunny afternoon, Conan asked Ayumi out and told her everything he could.

"But... you are Conan now!" Ayumi continued to try without giving up.

What she knew was Conan, Edogawa Conan, not some Kudo Shinichi.

"Can't you just..."

"Sorry, Ayumi, I can't do it." Conan knew what Ayumi meant.

Anyway, everything is settled now. Conan is Conan and no one will say anything.

But he couldn't.

Xiaolan had so bravely taken 99 steps towards him, and he couldn't retreat from this last step.

"I hate you!" Ayumi ran away crying.

Conan did not chase after him.

There was no possibility for their relationship to continue, so Conan didn't do anything unnecessary to make Ayumi mistakenly believe that he still had feelings for her.

Conan looked at Ayumi who ran out and then squatted on the road crying...

As if she felt the strong gaze coming from inside, Ayumi turned her head with some anticipation... But after seeing Conan's expression...

That last glimmer of hope disappeared completely.
