Chapter 145: Conan! You have to learn from Hoshino-nii-chan!

~8 min read 1,460 words

Haibara Ai responded to him and then turned her head away,

not intending to play with him at all.

"Hehe..."

Conan looked speechless,

tilting his head, his eyes turning into half-moons.

Although it wasn't the first day he knew Haibara Ai,

she gave people the feeling of being a version of Hoshino Ki,

always looking cold,

whether at school or outside.

Haibara Ai always put on a "little adult" appearance.

He really didn't know if she was truly mature or pretending to be.

Conan looked up at Hoshino Ki next to Haibara Ai.

Although they were already so familiar,

Hoshino Ki was still like when they first met,

with a "strangers stay away" feeling!

Then he looked at Haibara Ai next to him.

The brother and sister even had the same facial expressions!

Was it genetic?

No, that's not right!

Conan turned his gaze to Miyano Akemi, who was chatting happily with Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki.

It must be a genetic mutation.

It's normal for one or two people in a family to have personality problems.

Yeah, yeah!

Conan was immersed in his own world.

After looking them over several times, he nodded secretly.

After everyone got to know each other, they all sat down.

Although he really wanted to ignore it,

the atmosphere between Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki wasn't very friendly.

Although it couldn't be called hostility,

the two of them had a feeling of mutual disgust from beginning to end.

"You two... what would you like to drink?"

Miyano Akemi held the menu and asked the two of them.

"Coffee!"

"Black tea!"

Their tastes were not the same at all.

"Some people! Don't be too self-willed, it's really embarrassing!"

Kogoro Mouri glanced sideways at Eri Kisaki.

"......"

Eri Kisaki didn't pay attention to Kogoro Mouri,

but turned her gaze toward Hoshino Ki.

"???"

Hoshino Ki just looked up and met Eri Kisaki's gaze.

Since the other party was Ran Mouri's mother,

he nodded slightly to greet her.

"!!!"

Eri Kisaki's posture of supporting her chin paused slightly.

She looked at Hoshino Ki's dark eyes,

and that familiarity engraved in her heart instantly swept through her whole body.

Hoshino Ki's face and figure instantly overlapped completely with the person in her dream.

Although she really wanted to ignore this strange feeling,

but...

memory is something that can never be forgotten at will.

"Please, you two should just make up already..."

Ran Mouri was in the middle, soothing the emotions of her parents from both sides.

"Although it's not right to let you meet without knowing each other..."

"But, you can enjoy the Izu sea view together more..."

Ran Mouri was their daughter.

There isn't a daughter in the world who wants to see her parents separated.

Therefore, even knowing that the two were currently in a separated state with a broken relationship,

she still wanted to find an opportunity to let them get back together.

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

Ran Mouri looked at her parents' faces from left to right,

feeling very troubled.

Hoshino Ki picked up Haibara Ai, who was sitting next to him, and held her in his arms.

Although it was summer,

the air pressure here was too low.

Holding something in his arms,

it was warm!

"......"

Miyano Akemi turned her face,

her gaze following Hoshino Ki's movements,

then she buried her head in the menu without a sound.

"???"

Conan was originally sitting next to Ran Mouri with a speechless expression.

His half-moon eyes hadn't changed since just now.

But after seeing the "strange" way the three people opposite were getting along,

he instantly gained energy!

He straightened his back and looked at the three people opposite in detail.

Although it wasn't very obvious...

but the emotion that flashed in Miyano Akemi's eyes...

was it jealousy?

Conan turned his gaze to Hoshino Ki and Haibara Ai, who was being held by Hoshino Ki.

Hoshino Ki's expression hadn't changed at all,

but Haibara Ai, who was sitting in his arms, was truly an eye-opener.

That shy expression...

was clearly a girl in love!!!

Speaking of which...

at school,

he often heard Ayumi mention that Haibara Ai had unusual feelings for her brother, Hoshino Ki.

"Hehe..."

It was actually guessed by Ayumi.

That's outrageous!

Conan's half-moon eyes were about to roll over.

"Yeah! I was enjoying myself well!.` !"

"Until that old woman, who dared to wear such a bright swimsuit, appeared..."

Kogoro Mouri looked disgusted,

with a cigarette in his mouth,

smoke swirling around his little mustache.

"Strange! I wonder who that was who made lewd sounds to pick up the old woman?"

Eri Kisaki absolutely didn't lose to Kogoro Mouri in sarcasm.

In a few words, she could make the other party's head smoke.

"Ah... wait!"

Ran Mouri was caught in the middle of the two,

appearing a bit flustered.

Kogoro Mouri had an expression like he had eaten a pile of poop,

instantly standing up from his seat,

and slapping his hands on the table with a heavy sound.

"Slap!"

The angry atmosphere between the two had reached its peak.

The expressions they used to look at each other also revealed their "unhappiness" with each other!

But this was a public place, after all,

and there were "outsiders" present!

"I'm going to take a leak!"

Kogoro Mouri finally recognized his defeat,

found an excuse, and left.

"Dad!"

Ran Mouri called out anxiously from her seat.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri really leave without looking back,

she leaned toward Eri Kisaki again,

trying hard to soothe her mother:

"Dad must be shy because he hasn't seen you for a long time!"

"Is that so? I think he's just narrow-minded?"

Eri Kisaki didn't take Ran Mouri's words seriously,

but picked up the pot on the side and poured for everyone one by one.

"Eh? Where's your ring? Didn't you always wear it before?"

Ran Mouri saw at a glance that the ring on Eri Kisaki's finger was gone.

"Yeah! Since we're separated, wearing a ring... will affect my normal life."

Eri Kisaki spread her fingers and looked at the finger where she used to wear the ring.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly.

From the outside,

she seemed very satisfied with her current separated state.

"Besides, he doesn't care much either, didn't he think about picking up someone else just now?"

Eri Kisaki sat back in her seat,

looking calm and indifferent.

"Ah? That's because..."

Ran Mouri's forehead seeped with a little sweat.

She still wanted to "defend" her father a little.

"My life is just about to begin, your old mom is very popular..."

"I've been thinking recently... should I start the next relationship?"

Eri Kisaki raised her hand to support her chin,

and turned her gaze toward Hoshino Ki again.

"Speaking of which... you also invited your boyfriend over..."

"And this time you even invited his family!"

"Are you trying to meet the parents?"

Eri Kisaki turned her head and whispered to Ran Mouri.

She looked teasing, as if she saw her daughter's little thoughts.

"Ahhhh! No, Mom, keep your voice down, and Hoshino-kun is not my boyfriend!"

Ran Mouri exploded when she heard Eri Kisaki's words.

The originally miserable expression was suddenly replaced by shyness.

"But... it looks like you need to work harder!"

Eri Kisaki let her gaze fall on Hoshino Ki and Haibara Ai,

then looked at Miyano Akemi sitting next to them.

"Eh? Why?"

Ran Mouri was confused.

She didn't understand the meaning of Eri Kisaki's words.

Her blue pupils turned into bean eyes.

"Hehe... nothing..."

Eri Kisaki withdrew her gaze,

then picked up the teacup in front of her.

"Hehe..."

Conan, as a fake "child,"

was a clear bystander!

"Conan, don't be like that kind of person when you grow up, you have to learn from Hoshino-nii-chan here!"

"A man like Hoshino-nii-chan who is considerate and doesn't mess around with flowers... there aren't many left in this world!"

Eri Kisaki supported her chin,

her eyes curved with gentleness.

"Okay! Oh oh!"

Conan stood up respectfully.

"Mom!"

Ran Mouri was blushing.

After secretly glancing at Hoshino Ki,

she looked at Eri Kisaki again.

"Hoshino-kun... what do you think of my Ran?"

Eri Kisaki looked at Hoshino Ki.

"Yeah! Very good!"

Hoshino Ki's dark eyes looked at Ran Mouri.

After looking her up and down, he replied to Eri Kisaki.

"Where is it good?"

Eri Kisaki asked Hoshino Ki another question.

"......"

Hoshino Ki looked at Ran Mouri,

his pair of dark eyes staring straight at her,

as if he wanted to see the advantages in the depths of her soul.

Ran Mouri looked up in a panic and met Hoshino Ki's gaze.

After seeing the other party's serious expression, she immediately lowered her head, blushing.

"Angel..."

Hoshino Ki murmured.

"Eh?!"
