Chapter 105: Eri Kisaki

"What's the matter?"

Kouji Shimizu looked outside the door. Xiaolan hadn't come back yet. It felt like she had been out for more than ten minutes.

Conan was still in shock at this time. He patted his chest and seemed to have just recovered.

"What a scary woman."

Kouji Shimizu raised his eyebrows and didn't comment.

He looked back at Eri Kisaki. He didn't feel anything, but he felt that this woman was quite elegant and had a strong aura that couldn't be restrained.

She had a temperament similar to that of Michiko Tetsu, but compared to Michiko Tetsu, who was a pampered lady, Eri Kisaki gave him the feeling of a capable strong woman.

After Conan recovered, he finally remembered the 'business', "Shimizu, look at that man, do you think he is Xiaolan's date?"

Kouji Shimizu looked in the direction Conan pointed, and saw a young man in a white suit, who was quite fashionable and handsome, talking to a waitress at the door of the cafe.

What they didn't notice was that after Conan said Xiaolan's name, a strange white light covered the glasses of Hibiki Eri, who had been concentrating on studying customer information.

At this time, Prince Shirou stood at the door, looking around the cafe, as if looking for someone.

At the same time, he did say to the waiter: "I have an appointment with a girl here, but she doesn't seem to be here yet."

The voice was clearly audible, and just like that, Conan's eyes gradually became firm, and Shimizu Koji couldn't help but stare.

From this point of view, it seems that Conan really said it, and Xiaolan--

Shimizu Koji didn't know, but he also remembered that when Xiaolan was in Suzuki Ayako's suburban villa, Xiaolan was dragged by that Ota to take a walk in the woods on a rainy night.

But thinking of Conan's obsession, Shimizu Koji could only guess that Mao Lilan might not be very good at rejecting others.

He didn't think that the appearance of the man in front of him would make Xiaolan favor him.

However, it seems that the date is already certain.

"What do you want to do?"

"I--, Shimizu, help me beat him up! Ouch!"

As soon as Conan finished speaking, he immediately covered his forehead and cried out in pain.

"Calm down."

"Xiaolan wouldn't fall for that kind of man."

It sounds like Shimizu Koji is the only one who said that, but in fact, these two sentences were almost spoken at the same time.

Before Conan could react, Shimizu Koji turned his head and looked at Kisaki Eri, who was drinking coffee calmly at this time.

Kisaki Eri's eyes were not on them, nor on the young prince Shirou at the door.

She was like a queen who would not lose her composure in the face of anything. Even when the enemy was at the gates, she could continue to taste a cup of black tea elegantly and confidently, and then she turned the situation around with a flip of her palm.

"You are--?"

"Mom!"

Shimizu Koji just spoke in confusion, and Conan just came back to his senses, but then, an excited and surprised voice instantly hit Conan's head again.

Xiaolan had returned to the store without knowing when. At this moment, she looked at Eri Kisaki sitting in the seat with a look of surprise in her eyes.

And Eri Kisaki no longer paid attention to Kōji Shimizu and Conan. She smiled from the bottom of her heart. In an instant, it was as if the iceberg had thawed. She turned back gracefully and gently and looked at Xiaolan.

It's over——

Whose heartbreak is this?

Kōji Shimizu didn't hear it, but he could guess it.

He looked back at Conan, who was frozen in place with a pale face.

He took back his words. He didn't plan to kick this guy again because it was no longer necessary.

Edogawa Conan, Game over~.

——

A few minutes later, Eri Kisaki, Ran, Kōji Shimizu, and Conan sat together in pairs.

Conan kept his head down, like a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to say anything or do anything.

Maybe, under normal circumstances, he can still act like a little brat, but after what happened just now, if it wasn't for Xiaolan, he would have wanted to turn around and run away and never come back.

Yes, Xiaolan's "Mom" not only broke through Conan's rationality, but also brought back his not-so-good memories of his childhood.

After the two overlapped, Conan had become a puppet doll, and it was Shimizu Koji who held him by the back of the neck to put him on the seat.

Fortunately, Kisaki Eri didn't mention what happened just now to Xiaolan, otherwise, Shimizu Koji would find it hard to imagine what Conan's mental state would be like.

"Mom, come to think of it, why did you forget to charge your phone before going out? I couldn't get through to you just now, and I was so anxious."

Xiaolan's tone was a little complaining, but it might also be because Shimizu Koji and Conan were still in the way here, she just blushed and didn't act like a spoiled child with Kisaki Eri.

Kisaki Eri also seemed much gentler when facing Xiaolan, just smiling apologetically, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.

However, the tender moment between mother and daughter did not last for a while, and suddenly, a terrified scream resounded throughout the cafe.

"Ah——!!"

Hearing this scream, Conan, who was originally stunned, immediately looked up like a doll wound up, sat up straight, jumped down suddenly, and ran towards the sound.

Seeing this, Hibiki Eri was a little surprised. She and Xiaolan stood up and turned to look at the source of the sound.

At the door of the bathroom, Shirou, the prince who had been quite graceful just now, fell to the ground without any image, looking into the bathroom with a look of horror.

"Blood! Blood!!!"

And almost a few seconds after Conan broke in, the waiter who followed in also screamed for the second time.

"Ah--!! Murder!!"

As soon as these words came out, the customers of the coffee shop, who had already been somewhat alarmed, showed panic on their faces and were about to rush out.

"Xiaolan, stop them! Call the police!"

And at the critical moment, a domineering cold shout woke up Xiaolan who had not yet recovered.

Looking at Hibiki Eri's serious face, Xiaolan nodded, rushed to the door quickly, and with a resolute look, she stretched out her hand and stopped all the customers.

All this happened almost in just thirty seconds.

Until Xiaolan stopped the panicking guest, Shimizu Koji was still sitting in his seat, taking a sip of coffee calmly.

When Kisaki Eri walked out of her seat, she couldn't help but look back curiously at the boy Xiaolan had just introduced as her junior.

But she said nothing, and at the same time, Shimizu Koji stood up and walked towards the rioting crowd at the door.

There, although Xiaolan looked resolute, she couldn't resist a group of adults who were crowded together and scolded loudly, and some people wanted to make a move.
