Chapter 12: Working person

"Since you won't let me go, you should tell me properly."

Mouri Ran puts her hands on her hips, her expression very serious.

"What's wrong with you these two days?"

Mouri Ran supports the desk with both hands, leaning forward.

She frowns and questions Suzuki Sonoko.

"You sit down and talk first!"

Suzuki Sonoko secretly watches Hoshino Ki with her peripheral vision.

Making sure the other party's attention is not attracted by her side.

She stretches out both hands to pull Mouri Ran.

Then whispers, casting a pleading look at her to let her sit down and talk.

"I said it, you are not allowed to laugh at me!"

Suzuki Sonoko's cheeks are slightly flushed, appearing very cramped.

She doesn't know how to confide in her best friend.

To tell the strange things that happened to her these two days.

"Alright, hurry up and say it, I won't laugh at you!"

Mouri Ran follows the force of Suzuki Sonoko's hands and obediently sits in her seat. ===== CHAPTER 32 =====

"I had a nightmare!"

"Ah?"

Mouri Ran is stunned for a moment.

The originally solemn expression suddenly turns into confusion.

She thought her best friend would tell her some earth-shattering secret.

For example, it would at least be some things that would make her feel very embarrassed.

Being bullied, blackmailed, kidnapped by Hoshino Ki...

She thought of all the worst results.

Unexpectedly, it was just a nightmare.

"Oh my, it's not the kind of ordinary nightmare you're thinking of."

"Ah? Then what kind is it?"

"It's very complicated!"

Suzuki Sonoko clenches her hands tightly.

Lowering her head, she shows a very terrified expression.

"Although I know this dream has nothing to do with Hoshino-kun."

"And it's also possible that my spirit is too tense."

"Only then did I dream of being killed by him..."

"But it was too real, it made people's hair stand on end!"

"What?"

Mouri Ran looks at Suzuki Sonoko in disbelief.

Looking at her body that she can't help but tremble.

The gradually pale cheeks and the sweat beads on her forehead.

She knows she was really scared by the nightmare.

Because the two grew up together.

Rarely seen Suzuki Sonoko scared of something like today.

Unless that thing really affects her.

"You dreamed that you..."

Mouri Ran quietly turns her head to look at Hoshino Ki.

Seeing that the other party is seriously looking at his textbook and not noticing them.

Then carefully observes the surroundings to make sure no one is eavesdropping.

Mouri Ran whispers:

"Were killed by Hoshino-san?"

"Yeah, yeah."

Suzuki Sonoko cries with a small face.

Nods aggrievedly.

"Killed twice."

"In the middle, I also dreamed that we got married..."

Suzuki Sonoko's expression is complex.

"Having such a dream, I don't know how to face Hoshino-kun in the future!"

Suzuki Sonoko covers her face, shaking her head frantically.

"Could it be that you are lovesick?"

Mouri Ran touches her chin and analyzes.

"Isn't there a Chinese saying that what you think about during the day, you dream about at night."

"But why are they all nightmares?"

Sonoko is confused.

"Didn't you say you got married in the dream?"

"Yes, we got married, but..."

Suzuki Sonoko is melancholic again.

"What's wrong?"

"But the ending of that marriage dream was also not very good!"

Suzuki Sonoko looks like death, heavily saying:

"In that dream, Hoshino-kun was killed."

"? Sonoko!"

Mouri Ran's expression suddenly becomes solemn.

"Yes!"

Suzuki Sonoko stands up straight with respect!

Have you watched any suspense movies lately!

"Ah! Seems like I have! Borrowed Jack the Ripper's V the day before yesterday!"

"Doesn't this solve the case?"

Mouri Ran has a look of understanding.

"It must be that you watched too many Vs, that's why you had such a dream."

"Probably!"

"Hey, cheer up."

"Next weekend, Dad, Conan-kun, and I are going to the mountains to enjoy the cherry blossoms, you should come too, just to relax."

"Okay."

Suzuki Sonoko still looks like she can't cheer up.

"It's also possible that your spirit is too tense."

"I hope so. Ran, it's so good to have you."

Suzuki Sonoko stretches out both hands to hold Mouri Ran's hands tightly.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do, woo woo, angel!"

Sonoko looks at the other party with emotion.

"Alright, Sonoko."

Mouri Ran pats her shoulder helplessly to comfort her.

"By the way... who is Conan?"

Suzuki Sonoko is suddenly startled, straightening her waist and looking confused.

Deeply confused about the stranger who suddenly appeared in Mouri Ran's mouth.

"Don't tell me it's your other husband?"

Suzuki Sonoko has a lecherous smile.

"I didn't expect it, Shinichi just left and you... but as a best friend, I will support you."

She clenches her fist, looking at Mouri Ran with determination.

Her best friend.

Even if she is a sea queen.

She will support her without hesitation.

"No, the other party is just a child!"

"Hiss! Even children are not spared..."

Suzuki Sonoko gasps.

Very impressed by her best friend's unique taste.

"Please don't think nonsense, it's like this..."

Mouri Ran pulls Suzuki Sonoko over.

Stopping the other party from continuing to think nonsense. ===== CHAPTER 33 =====

And gave a detailed explanation of what happened last night.

"Oh! So that's it!"

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realizes.

Learned about Edogawa Conan from her mouth.

"Ran, you are really a good person, still having to watch children for others."

Suzuki Sonoko sighs at her best friend's kindness.

If there really is an angel in Detective Conan.

Then Mouri Ran must be one of them.

Vermouth has always called her "angel."

Someone who can make Vermouth, who has seen so many big storms, call her that.

Side-handedly shows that Mouri Ran is really kind beyond measure.

Not just Vermouth.

Even Haibara Ai, who appeared later, admires Mouri Ran very much.

Originally, Haibara Ai was a very cold existence.

When she first met Mouri Ran, she was moved by Mouri Ran's kindness and spirit of not fearing darkness.

Gradually let go of her coldness.

Took the initiative to get to know Mouri Ran.

Opened a warm scene of acquaintance with Mouri Ran.

"Taking care of a drunk uncle is already very tiring."

Suzuki Sonoko speaks up for Mouri Ran's hard work.

"Haha, it's okay"

"..."

The intimate talk between girls will continue for a long time.

Hoshino Ki is not unaware of the movement over there.

But upholding the polite personal principle.

Feels there is no need to eavesdrop on the girls' whispers.

For the behavior of the two always stealing glances at him from time to time.

He just pretends not to know and lets them be.

Probably because the other party is the anime heroine and supporting actress.

Other classmates and teachers seem like air in his eyes, non-existent.

According to general circumstances, the time for recess activity will not last this long.

Hoshino Ki carefully discovers.

Today's recess activity time seems to be double the previous one.

He can clearly see the speed of the stopwatch on the clock slowing down.

Sure enough, it lives up to being an anime world.

Everything must revolve around anime characters.

It seems the content of the two people's conversation is also related to the plot.

"Buzz buzz~"

Phone message notification sound comes.

Hoshino Ki takes out his phone.

Checks the phone message.

[Temporary mission: ******]

"?"

Only a string of phone numbers.

No signature, not sent by Vodka.

Hoshino Ki recalls the missions issued by the Black Organization in his memories.

This kind of mission without a signature.

Belongs to the bounty mission issued directly by the Black Organization.

Generally, organization members decide for themselves whether to accept it.

Besides being able to improve their business level.

They can also earn corresponding bounties.

This string of phone numbers in the message should be the number of the employer who issued the mission.

Need to take the initiative to call and contact to accept it.

The price is agreed upon by the employer or both parties themselves.

After completing the mission, just submit the corresponding share to the organization.

Hoshino Ki first checks his deposit balance.

Finds that his deposit balance is not small.

Plus the reward for the mission of "handling" Kudo Shinichi just completed.

The value displayed by adding up several bank cards is as high as tens of millions.

Equivalent to about 10,000 RMB.

Currently, he is not in a hurry to make money.

But the mission is right in front of him.

Can he not accept it?

Not accepting is a waste.

Who would dislike having less money?

After school.

Hoshino Ki returns home.

Takes out his phone and dials the employer's number.
