"Huh? Shirashi-kun, why aren't you sitting in the audience stands?"
Shinichi watched Baishi Hui come down the aisle and asked curiously.
"Aunt Eri just scolded me for drinking and stuff," Baishi Hui shrugged.
"Aunt Eri is like that; she doesn't tolerate any flaws," Shinichi didn't actually think drinking was a big deal; he had secretly drunk at home too.
However, he didn't like the taste of alcohol, and that dizzy feeling would disrupt his thoughts.
Furthermore, alcohol affects the brain, which is detrimental to deduction.
So, he gave up after trying it once.
Baishi Hui didn't mention that he got Mouri Kogoro drunk every day and said, "They're here. Aren't you going up to say hello?"
"Forget it... Going up would just get me scolded," Shinichi shook his head and said helplessly, "Uncle Mouri will definitely say I stole his business."
"As for Aunt Eri, sigh... She used to scold me a lot when I was little. Now I don't even dare to breathe hard in front of her."
Speaking of his psychological trauma, this high school Detective also wore a look of melancholy.
After hearing this, Baishi Hui asked, "Avoiding it like this isn't a solution. You can't just never see them again, right?"
"I know that too. This kind of thing... let's talk about it later," Shinichi scratched his head, unsure how to handle such a situation.
Baishi Hui didn't say anything more.
Just then, Sonoko walked over with a plastic bag from the convenience store and asked curiously, "Why are you two here? Uncle Mouri and Aunt Eri are sitting in the audience stands."
"Aren't we waiting for you?" Baishi Hui smiled and said, "How awkward would it be if we went up without you?"
"Yeah, yeah," Shinichi nodded repeatedly.
"Hehe, are you two scared?" Sonoko teased before saying, "If that's the case, let's go!"
Saying this, she gestured for the two to follow.
Baishi Hui naturally followed along; after all, he wasn't the one feeling guilty.
Shinichi scratched his head, hesitated repeatedly, and finally braced himself and followed.
Upon returning to the audience stands, Sonoko enthusiastically greeted the two.
"Uncle Mouri! Aunt Eri, long time no see! How have you been recently?"
As she spoke, she gave each of them a bottle of Oolong tea.
Both Mouri Kogoro and Eri Kisaki were very fond of Sonoko. She was sensible, polite, and spoke pleasantly. Who wouldn't like her?
Shinichi also took the opportunity to say hello.
There were many people here, so even if Mouri Kogoro was unhappy with Shinichi, he couldn't say it out loud and could only give a lukewarm 'mm'.
Eri Kisaki replied politely, then looked at Baishi Hui.
She wanted to apologize to him, but there were too many people here... She was really embarrassed.
If she apologized, Mouri Kogoro would definitely seize on this point and argue with her!
Thinking of this, Eri Kisaki decided to find a private opportunity later to apologize to him.
After more than ten minutes of matches, the finals finally arrived.
Sonoko excitedly stood up from her chair and said, "The match has started! Everyone look, Ran is entering the arena!"
"I see her, I see her! As expected of my daughter! She's amazing!" Mouri Kogoro said proudly, as if Ran's success today was due to his great efforts.
"So what if she's your daughter? It's not your credit," Eri Kisaki said coldly, dismantling his claim without politeness.
This made Mouri Kogoro look at Eri Kisaki with a displeased expression, as if saying, "There are so many children here, and you're dismantling me like this?"
Since you're not giving me face, I won't give you face either!
He snorted and said, "Just like someone! She even forgot when her daughter's match started. If Sonoko hadn't reminded her, she'd probably still be sitting in her office right now!"
Eri Kisaki's eyebrow twitched. Just as she was about to say something, Sonoko pulled the two who were about to argue again and said with a wry smile, "Alright, alright, you two each say one less word and focus on watching Ran's match!"
"Hmph!" The two snorted separately and stopped arguing.
Shinichi secretly felt lucky about this. Fortunately, they started arguing and didn't focus their attention on him!
Otherwise, he would have been the one being interrogated.
This made Baishi Hui unsure what to say.
Ran must have had a tough time being raised by these two immature parents.
He shifted his attention back to the arena.
The official match began.
After Ran and Wada Yona bowed to each other, both maintained restraint and did not attack immediately.
They approached each other but were unwilling to launch an attack right away, resulting in a stalemate for several minutes.
Ran remained patient, waiting for her opponent to make a move... She had tried confronting Baishi Hui for half an hour without moving, so she could still endure now.
Wada Yona, however, was gradually becoming restless. She had learned how to attack from Kyogoku Makoto but had not learned patience.
Seeing that Ran was slow to make a move, Wada Yona directly rushed forward and began testing.
After a few combination punches for testing, she found that Ran's defense was very solid, with almost no openings.
Being unable to break through after a prolonged attack, Wada Yona frowned slightly and began to think about how to break through her opponent's defense.
The moment she frowned, Ran immediately noticed it!
Her opponent was thinking!
She unexpectedly threw a punch at her face.
Wada Yona instinctively pulled her head back, but found that Ran had only extended her fist partially before pulling it back.
This was a feint; the real attack was with her foot!
Oh no!
By the time she realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Wada Yona watched with wide eyes as Ran kicked and tripped her to the ground, then rushed forward and punched her.
Beep beep beep----
After the referee blew the whistle, he raised his hand to signal that Ran had scored!
After Wada Yona stood up from the ground, her expression was somewhat serious.
No, something was very wrong.
Why had Ran's fighting style changed?
She was clearly very good at attacking before, so why did she suddenly start defending?
In confusion, the match started again.
Wada Yona stepped forward and launched another probing attack.
But then, without warning, Ran suddenly went berserk and attacked with full force.
This caught Wada Yona off guard, so she quickly defended herself.
Right straight... Right straight... Why is it still a right straight? Does she only know the right straight?
Wada Yona watched Ran continuously use the right straight, and her desire to counterattack grew stronger.
However, just as she was about to counterattack, her opponent suddenly executed a turning back kick without warning!
She watched Ran's back heel flash past her eyes with a whoosh.
This scared Wada Yona so much that she abandoned the idea of counterattacking!
She had almost attacked just now... If she had attacked, she would have definitely taken that kick.
Thinking of this, she felt lingering fear and became even more cautious, not daring to counterattack easily.
Wada Yona couldn't understand why Ran wasn't fighting according to the rules?
Who would follow up continuous right straights with a sudden turning back kick?
