Conan: Becoming the Boss Starting with Winning Over Ran

Page 12

"Hoshimiya-nii-san, there's a photo booth over there. Let's take a picture to commemorate our first date."

"Dating?"

After a moment of confusion, Hoshiguma Yu understood when he saw Xiaolan's mischievous smile.

"Ran-chan, teasing people will be punished."

In Japan, "dating" does not specifically refer to dating between couples.

When close friends go out together, it can be called a date.

Of course, it can also mean that boyfriends and girlfriends pay for it together.

Even though he had been reborn more than twenty years ago, he still sometimes subconsciously put himself in the same mindset as before.

Hoshigumi Yu pretended to grab Xiaolan, causing the girl to cover her mouth and giggle as she ran forward.

With no one to bother them, the two became increasingly comfortable with each other.

No wonder there used to be scenes in anime where the male and female protagonists would go on dates together; it really is a great way to strengthen a relationship.

After completing one project after another, Hoshino Yu and Xiaolan's relationship quickly warmed up.

There was a bit of awkwardness between us when we called each other by our first names before, but now there's none at all.

If Ran weren't shy, she would have called Hoshimiya Yuu "Yuu-chan" directly.

Now she can only say it when she's deliberately acting cute.

"Yuuni-chan~"

The usually strong and independent Ran suddenly adopted a delicate and pitiful expression and acted coquettishly, which Hoshiguma Yu really couldn't resist.

Even though he's been fooled many times, he still can't help but soften his heart every time he sees Xiaolan's bright purple eyes.

No wonder they say even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman; who could resist that?

In any case, the Star Palace can't hold on.

As for whether Shinichi Kudo lives or dies...

Forget it, I don't have time to worry about it now. Let him fend for himself.

Anyway, even if there's no Conan, there will be Conan North.

If it were that simple to completely change the fate of the world, then Hoshimiya Yu would have to praise herself.

That's really awesome!

Of course, the main reason is that he didn't have any particularly good ways to help Shinichi Kudo.

Going after Gin and Vodka with our current strength would just be another free kill for them.

The most reliable method is to file a false police report.

But Hoshimiya Yu didn't know when Shinichi Kudo's reckless actions were discovered. No murders occurred, and even when the police came, they left after a while.

Aside from getting a lecture and losing face in front of Xiaolan, there were no benefits whatsoever.

Before you know it, night has fallen, and the vast expanse of neon lights in the tropical park gives it a dreamlike appearance.

Just as Ran and Hoshimiya Yu were holding hands and admiring the beautiful scenery, Shinichi Kudo was hiding in a corner, revealing a perverted expression of excitement.

"As expected, my judgment was correct. After following for so long, I finally caught him."

"It looks like it's worth at least 100 million yen. Record it, and we'll have evidence of an illegal transaction."

While muttering to himself, Shinichi Kudo took out his smartphone.

As soon as I turned on the recording function, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head.

In his hazy state, he seemed to hear words like "drugs" and "experiments" before he completely lost consciousness.

016 Talent Upgrade

[Successfully participated in the 'Roller Coaster Event', Talent Copy Count +1, Talent Upgrade Count +1.]

A pleasant notification sound appeared in her mind, and Hoshino Yu raised an eyebrow.

Is Gin's side done?

It's unclear whether Shinichi Kudo has shrunk or completely disappeared.

At that moment, Xing Gongyu was having dinner with Xiaolan at a restaurant, so he simply used up his upgrade attempts first.

He first tried to upgrade the red-quality 'Transmigrator' talent, and as expected, the message indicated that it was already at the highest level and could not be upgraded.

Even if he could upgrade, he wouldn't choose to do so.

The bonuses provided by the transmigrator talent are not what he urgently needs right now.

So, it goes without saying which one to upgrade: the purple-quality talent – ​​Photographic Memory.

Strengthening memory is very helpful for future learning and training, as well as for recalling past events.

Of course, it would be best to be able to recall all the memories in one go.

Actually, Hoshigumi Yu also really wants to upgrade her blue-quality 'Handsome' talent. After her charm is increased, it should be easier to win over... cough cough, interact with her.

However, his current charm is enough for now, and he ultimately decided to invest in the more rewarding photographic memory.

After confirming the upgrade, a vast amount of memories suddenly surged in my mind, with countless images flashing by like a slideshow.

Even memories from when he was four or five years old in his previous life, which had long been forgotten, became incredibly clear at this moment!

Kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, senior high school, university...

Countless vast and complex memories were stored in a categorized manner.

Among them, memories of watching "Detective Conan" and reading various related posts were also separately categorized.

Once the memories of the past life were organized, the memories of this life unfolded like a scroll, and were then categorized and stored.

The boiling memories gradually subsided.

The system notification sounded in Xinggong Yu's mind shortly afterward.

Upgrade successful, obtained the orange talent 'Memory Palace'

Memory Palace (Orange): The perfect application of the memory palace technique gives you almost unlimited memory. The vast memories of two lifetimes allow you to know many life experiences and various secrets, greatly improving your learning speed, speed reading ability, and memory.

Become!

Master Tao, I am done!

Hoshigumi Yu felt the clear memories in her mind, her eyes filled with excitement.

I was initially worried that I'd need a red-quality memory-type talent, but now it seems I can use the next upgrade opportunity to improve my strength.

Of course, Hoshimiya Yu didn't forget that Kujou Hitomi's behavior was completely different from what she remembered, and she wouldn't use the stereotypes from her memories to judge others.

After all, when watching anime, you can only see a very one-sided part of a person.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the trajectory of events remains unchanged!

As a time traveler with clear memories, Xing Gongyu can easily obtain things that ordinary people cannot achieve even after decades of hard work!

After being able to clearly recall some details of the plot, the financial problem that had plagued him for more than 20 years was quickly resolved, and his safety was greatly improved when he participated in subsequent fateful events.

Hoshigumi Yu quickly adjusted her mood, but Xiaolan still noticed this sudden change.

"Hoshimiya-nii-san, you seem to be very happy?"

As expected of someone with the orange-level talent of Sixth Sense, their intuition is truly sharp.

Secretly admiring the girl's powerful senses, Hoshigumi Yu smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy to have dinner with such a cute girl like Ran."

"Ugh, Hoshimiya-nii-san is really something..."

Xiao Lan's delicate oval face flushed slightly; she was both shy and happy.

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was almost time, Xing Gongyu asked, "Xiao Lan, are you full?"

"Hmm, is Hoshimiya-nii-san full?"

"I'm full, let's go home. The weather's changed, it might rain."

"Yes, the weather was so nice during the day."

Looking out the window, Xiaolan looked incredulous.

The weather seemed to have cleared up just for her to come out for a day of fun; as soon as it got dark and she was supposed to go home, dark clouds immediately gathered.

As the two walked out of Dorobiga Park, Hoshimiya Yu happened to catch a glimpse of Gin and Vodka striding through the crowd and getting into the iconic Porsche 356A.

To be fair, wearing all black in broad daylight is strange, but this outfit is indeed suitable for movement at night.

Especially doing things that can't be seen in the light of day.

If it weren't for her talent for dynamic vision, Hoshimiya Yu might not have been able to spot Gin and vodka blending into the night.

Following Hoshimiya Hayao's gaze, Ran also spotted Gin and Vodka.

Seeing the two of them reminded her of Shinichi Kudo.

Both of them have come out, so why is Shinichi still nowhere to be seen?

Xiaolan frowned, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

She has indeed lost some of her affection for Shinichi Kudo recently, but the two of them grew up together after all.

Shinichi Kudo, like Sonoko Suzuki, was one of her close friends.

She was still very concerned about her friend's safety.

"Hoshimiya-nii-san, wait for me."

Ran took out her phone and dialed Shinichi Kudo's number.

beep...

The phone rang for a long time, but the call didn't go through until the call forwarding notification sounded.

After putting down her phone, Xiaolan's bad premonition grew even stronger.

Hoshimiya Yu naturally knew what was going on. "Ran, maybe Kudo has already gone back..."

The words of comfort he wanted to say to Ran got stuck in his throat. After his previously hazy memories became clear, Hoshimiya Yu naturally knew how Conan ended up moving into the Mouri Detective Agency.

And then, taking advantage of Xiaolan's status as a child, he took advantage of her a lot.

With him around, it's impossible for him to let this situation happen.

It's alright if Shinichi Kudo is gone, but if he still shrinks and goes back like this, Conan will probably still move to the Mouri Detective Agency.

With...

After a mental exercise, Hoshiguma Yu came up with a solution.

"Lan, let's go look for them, let's follow the direction those two people came from."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Hoshimiya-nii-san."

After a moment's hesitation, Xiaolan, accompanied by Xinggong Yu, walked towards the Ferris wheel.

As she walked, she called out Shinichi Kudo's name.

Under Xing Gongyu's deliberate guidance, the two quickly walked to a corner behind the Ferris wheel.

Seeing the transformer box deep in the grass, Hoshimiya Hato knew that Shinichi Kudo was right behind it.

He specifically asked Ran to come with him to look for Conan, not only to prevent Conan from moving into the Mouri Detective Agency, but also to confirm whether Conan was alive or dead.

If Shinichi Kudo dies, he can prepare in advance.

If he still shrinks, and Ran sees Conan wearing Shinichi Kudo's clothes, and Shinichi himself hasn't even realized he needs to disguise himself yet...

No matter how unbelievable it may seem, the fact that Conan = Shinichi Kudo will become a reality.

This not only prevented Conan from moving into the Mouri Detective Agency, but also prevented Ran from lowering her guard and being taken advantage of in the future because he was a child.

As for Ran knowing Conan's true identity...

Since the other party has still shrunk, this will not affect the subsequent development at all.
