Chapter 32: Two-Atmosphere Edogawa, A Date for Two!
The next day, early in the morning.
After washing up and having breakfast, Li Ze arrived at the Mouri Detective Agency.
But, uh.
The atmosphere in the agency wasn't very good.
Mouri Ran was very angry.
Because when she expressed her desire to visit the art museum and see the moving armor, she was ridiculed by Kogoro and Conan.
Even...
Conan, this emotional moron, kept rubbing salt into Ran's wounds.
He said things like it was a gimmick used by the merchants to attract customers, and told Ran not to be fooled by them.
Seeing this, Li Ze was speechless.
Good heavens!
You've put all your attribute points into intelligence, but you have absolutely no emotional intelligence!
With this kind of attitude, you're still pursuing Ran?
Li Ze internally criticized.
However.
No matter what he thought in his heart, he still spoke up.
"Ran, don't be angry."
"Uncle Mouri is old, and Conan is just a child. They don't understand the fun of our young people."
"Isn't there me?"
"Hurry up and get dressed, we're leaving now!"
Almost, in an instant.
As Li Ze spoke, the entire room fell silent.
Mouri Kogoro's eyes were very strange.
Obviously.
As an elderly man, he could see through Li Ze's tricks immediately.
But.
He was very satisfied with this young man, so naturally, he wouldn't stop them from interacting.
So, after coughing twice, he casually waved his hand: "Then the two of you go ahead."
"That, won't do!" Conan blew up, raising his hand immediately: "I'm going too!"
Obviously.
Although his emotional intelligence wasn't high, he certainly wasn't an idiot.
This bastard Li Ze's little calculations were almost on his face, okay?
So.
He glared at Li Ze with gritted teeth, while raising his hand to indicate that he wanted to participate.
What a joke?
Ran was his designated girlfriend, how could he let her go out with Li Ze?
However, to this.
Li Ze rubbed Conan's forehead, smiling with a kind expression and saying.
"Conan, be good!"
"Ran and I are playing adult games, you little kids wouldn't understand."
"So don't meddle in adult affairs, go find your little girlfriend later."
"Yeah, I remember."
"That little girl last time, her name was Ayumi, right."
"I noticed before that the little girl seems to have a little crush on you."
"It seems like Conan is quite popular with girls at school."
Conan, he was dumbfounded.
What the hell!
Adult games? What the hell do I not understand?
Damn it.
Do you really think of yourself as a child?
Aren't you deceiving a ghost?
Also, wait a minute...
Ayumi?
What a joke!
Who would like a little ghost?
He immediately spoke up and tried to explain, because he couldn't let Ran misunderstand.
After all.
He's definitely going to grow up in the future, and when Ran knows about this, she'll probably want to punch him to death.
"No, no."
"Ayumi and I are just classmates, haha."
"Anyway, Ran-nee."
"I want to go with you!"
Conan, quickly explained.
He also began to strongly express his desire to go.
But, unfortunately.
How could Mouri Kogoro be willing to let a little kid interrupt his daughter's date?
So, hehe.
He immediately grabbed Conan and slapped his butt hard.
"Little ghost, don't cause trouble."
"Your Ran-nee is going on a date with a friend, what are you doing messing around?"
"Go find your friends to play later!"
Conan: "..."
He almost cried.
I don't want to go play with those little ghosts!
He just wanted to watch Ran, to prevent Li Ze from doing anything.
After all.
As the king of jealousy, he had long sensed something was wrong with Li Ze.
Not to mention.
The words 'date' from Mouri Kogoro's mouth instantly made him go wild.
He immediately started throwing a tantrum, determined to follow them.
But, unfortunately.
Under normal circumstances, Ran might have agreed.
However.
The mocking looks of her own father and Conan when she invited them earlier had completely enraged Ran.
In an angry state, Ran didn't pay any attention to Conan's pleas.
Simply, ignored!
Then, she sweetly spoke to Li Ze: "Li Ze-kun, let's go."
"Yeah, okay!" Li Ze nodded.
Next.
The two of them smiled and left together.
And, to this.
Mouri Kogoro was very happy in his heart.
Only, Conan.
His expression had already started to distort, and the jealousy in his heart was burning fiercely.
However, he was very clear.
He knew that even if he wanted to follow, Mouri Kogoro would definitely stop him.
So.
He sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, forcing himself to calm down.
About, half an hour later.
He got up and said: "Uncle Kogoro, I'm going to play with my friends."
After saying that.
Without waiting for Mouri Kogoro to speak, he immediately rushed out of the house.
He was right.
This time, although Mouri Kogoro grumbled, he didn't stop Conan.
After all, he was a child.
How could he not be playful?
On the street downstairs.
Conan's mouth was full of sneers, and his eyes were flashing with determination.
"Hehe, Li Ze!"
"I know where you're going, isn't it the Medieval Art Museum?"
"Date, humph!"
"With me, Kudo Shinichi here, you won't succeed!"
Conan, gritted his teeth.
After saying that.
He immediately ran to the nearest bus stop, and coincidentally, a bus arrived.
If Li Ze saw this, he would definitely have to marvel.
As expected, the protagonist!
When taking a taxi, a taxi appears; when taking a bus, a bus arrives. He doesn't waste a moment.
...
On the other hand.
Li Ze and Ran had already arrived at the art museum.
The visitors were few.
Obviously.
This phase of the art museum had already reached the brink of bankruptcy.
Ran was very happy.
Looking at the works on display, although she didn't understand them, she still looked at them seriously.
And, at her side.
Li Ze was different from Kogoro and Conan. As a normal man, even though he hadn't had a girlfriend in his previous life, he knew how to provide emotional value.
Especially, Ran was very beautiful.
Facing such a beautiful woman, Li Ze was naturally willing to do it.
So.
Ran's mood could be imagined.
She had spent her whole life with Kudo Shinichi, rarely interacting with other men. Where had she enjoyed this kind of extra-special treatment?
Therefore, all the way.
The smile on her face didn't stop, and even after this intimate contact, the relationship between them began to warm up.
Although it didn't reach the level of being a couple, at the level of ordinary friends, it could be considered a close friend of Ran's.
"Miss..."
"You look like you really like these works."
At this moment.
An old man with a long beard stood behind them, looking at Ran kindly.
