When Shikamaru and Aunt Eri started talking with each other, Conan stared at the cafe door expecting to see something that would divert his attention away. It would be great if someone caught his eyes or saw something interesting.
All of this because Eri Kiseki's powerful aura and the dark past he experienced as a child made Conan feel nervous, just by sitting near her. If only he knew Ran came to this cafe to meet his mother, he wouldn't want to come over!
"Kring~"
Listening to the sound of the bell, Conan glanced towards the door with hope obviously reflected in his eyes. As soon as the door was opened, a man with a large body entered and immediately greeted the cafe owner who was at the bar.
"Good afternoon boss~ long time no see"
"Good afternoon Juzo-san, what's wrong with your finger?" he asked curiously while looking at Juzo's finger which was dressed with a bandage.
"oh it's because I played rugby before, and accidentally hurt my finger hahahaha...."
When the big man walked in, Shikamaru and Eri only looked at him for a while and continued their conversation.
Conan analyzed the conversation between the cafe boss and the man, but it turned out that nothing new and interesting was discovered. So he looked back at the cafe door.
He really missed Ran Mouri. If Ran came back now, he would immediately take the cake home!
But, why did Ran take so long to return? Conan thought hopelessly.
"Kring~"
This time what came was a man with long hair in a beige suit and a red shirt inside.
The man's name was Shiro Wakaoji and his appearance immediately caught Conan's attention. Even though Conan already knew that Ran would meet his mother, his curiousness was still very strong.
Usually, when a man like this comes there will be disputes.
Finally, I don't have to think about this burden on my back anymore. After Conan heaved a sigh of relief, he focused all his attention on Shiro Wakaoji.
Conan looked at the man in the beige shirt and then suddenly remembered his friend, Sonoko Suzuki. The second daughter of the Suzuki family will definitely like this kind of guy~
Conan's inner voice is full of ill will towards Sonoko Suzuki.
"Ring~ Ring~" Shiro Wakaoji's cellphone ringtone sounded.
He picked up the phone and greeted the person behind the phone in a loud voice.
"Mosi-Mosi~ here is Shiro Wakaoji speaking"
Eri, who was chatting with Shikamaru, saw people coming out of the toilet. So she told Shikamaru and went to the toilet.
Seeing Eri leave, Conan immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"Why do you look so scared of Aunt Eri?" Shikamaru asked intending to tease Conan.
"Isn't this the first time both of you met aech other?"
Oops! Found out?! Conan immediately had a bad feeling when he heard Shikamaru's question, he had to immediately find a reason to fool Shikamaru!
"Of course ~ because Auntie looks very scary" replied Conan while showing a "Scared" expression on his face.
When Shikamaru heard it, Amazing Kudo-kun, you are a brave future son-in-law who dares to say that about your own mother-in-law!
"OK. I will tell what you said to Aunt Eri, Conan-Kun" said Shikamaru with an aura full of very "good" intentions.
Conan planned to beg Shikamaru not to report it. unfortunately, he didn't have time to say because Eri had returned from the toilet.
Conan with a very heavy heart finally canceled his plan to beg Shikamaru, and could only stare at Shikamaru with resignation.
"These days, there are almost none of these ignorant girls anymore. As long as you say sweet things, that girl will definitely fall in love with me!" said Shiro Wakaoji's.
"But remember don't tell other girls ok? Bye~" after that Shiro Wakaoji directly turned off his phone and waited for his date to come.
But he didn't realize that his words were heard by Eri Kisaki who passed his desk when she came out of the toilet and wanted to sit back at her desk while the Miyano sister just smiled at his words.
Shikamaru who heard those words also greatly admired Shiro Wakaoji's courage. With his personality like that, based on his memory he would soon become a Target.
For example, being stabbed by a knife or something else, just something that can threaten someone's life.
"Edogawa-san, is there Edogawa-san? There's a call for Edogawa-san," said the waiter at the bar.
"It's here~" replied Conan as he ran to the bar where the waiter was.
This waiter is an angel! It must be Ran who is calling me so that I can go home soon!
Thinking about that, Conan picked up the phone and said sweetly "Ran-neechan~"
"Conan, I'm really sorry, the cashier here is busy so you'll have to wait a while. By the way, has anyone come looking for me?" asked Ran
After Conan heard that he immediately felt aggrieved: "yes, there was Ran-neechan's mother came looking for..."
"Ehh, Conan knows my mother?" Ran said in a perplexed tone, as she recalled she never introduced Conan to her mother.
"Shikamaru-niichan knows Aunt Eri, the two of them are now chatting" replied Conan while glancing at Shikamaru and aunt Eri who were busy chitchatting.
"Then Conan stays there for a while, I'll be right there!" Ran answered happily without noticing Conan's strange tone of voice.
Right at that moment, Juzo Tonoyama was seen coming out of the toilet. Shikamaru and Eri immediately stopped chatting and immediately looked at the toilet with faces that were hard to explain.
"What wrong Shikamaru?" asked Eri a little worriedly, because the expression on Shikamaru's face looks weird.
"It's nothing Auntie, I just feel that something is wrong..." Shikamaru said to aunt Eri while holding back the joy and shock in his heart.
The reason why Shikamaru's face had a strange expression was that he felt a piece of hostile soul coming from the direction of the toilet!
And he was very happy because the soul fragment was of such good quality.
Soul fragments usually come from negative emotions that arise when a person dies. Such as anger, disappointment, sadness, revenge, etc.
One of the reasons why Shikamaru is still working in the Black Organization is because Gin often kills people and he can get a lot of soul fragments.
For those of you who think Shikamaru is cruel, then you are mistaken.
You must remember Shikamaru Nara is a young master from the most respected ninja family in Konoha, the Nara Clan!
So that Shikamaru's moral line is of course different from people in the Detective Conan world in general. You could say Shikamaru is in a gray zone with a line between right and wrong that is very difficult to separate.
"WHAT…?!" yelled Shiro Wakaoji who had just entered the toilet as if he was seeing a very horrible thing.
