As everyone knows, geniuses often possess an arrogant heart, and Shinichi Kudo is no exception.
Especially someone as incredibly intelligent as he is, he has never felt that he would lose to anyone.
This excessive pride sometimes makes him seem a bit conceited, but he himself doesn't seem to notice this.
In fact, even when he later transformed into Conan Edogawa, his damned pride never changed in the slightest.
The Organization is shaped like this:
Undercover, Undercover, Undercover, Undercover
Undercover, Useless, Gin, Undercover
Dead Man, Traitor, Undercover, Traitor
Otherwise, Conan would have died countless times by now.
Vodka, who was driving, inexplicably sneezed, rubbed his nose, and glanced at his boss, Gin, who was resting with his eyes closed beside him, feeling like someone was cursing him...
"Is that so?" Hanyu Nan casually swept his gaze over him, showing no interest.
Having lived two lives, he wasn't so petty as to argue with a mere child; perhaps with his father, it might be a different story.
Shinichi Kudo's mouth twitched.
They were all hot-blooded youths in the prime of their lives!
Why did he have to put on such a mature and steady demeanor?
What was even more infuriating was his nonchalant tone, which revealed an unparalleled confidence, as if he were standing on a cloud, looking down on the world's common people from above.
Everyone said he was arrogant, but Shinichi Kudo believed that the truly arrogant one was clearly Hanyu Nan...
As he turned, Hanyu Nan's face broke into a gentle smile, and he softly said, "Hello there, it turns out to be Ran Mouri and Suzuki Sonoko.
What happened here?
I just saw someone fighting over here, so I specifically came to see what was going on."
Upon hearing this, Ran blushed shyly and quickly waved her hands, indicating that nothing had happened.
"We're discussing going to Tropical Land together this weekend.
Yuusheng-san, would you like to join us?" Suzuki Sonoko said without hesitation, her cheerful personality evident, her face now adorned with a lovesick smile, her gaze fixed directly on Hanyu Nan.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Sonoko suddenly realized something and couldn't help but look at Ran with some embarrassment, shyly saying, "Oh, I'm sorry, I almost forgot this should be considered your sweet date with Shinichi..."
However, the kind Ran only blushed slightly and replied, "It's okay... Isn't it more fun if everyone goes together!"
As she spoke, Ran also took Sonoko's hand and enthusiastically invited, "Sonoko, and Yuusheng-san, you both come along tomorrow morning too!"
"Me? All right!" Hanyu Nan replied after a moment of thought.
Originally, he had already planned to participate in the plot's unfolding tomorrow, as tomorrow was a very important scene.
However, since he had received an invitation, going with the other participants was also a good option.
At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko was overjoyed, secretly fantasizing that if she could invite Yuusheng-san to go with them, wouldn't it become a romantic two-boy, two-girl date?
That would be absolutely perfect!
As soon as she thought of this, her face once again showed a lovesick expression.
Ran smiled happily and said, "Then it's settled.
Everyone meet at Tropical Land at 8:30 tomorrow morning, and don't be late.
Shinichi, you're not allowed to be late this time."
"I know, don't worry."
Watching the three of them chatting happily and laughing, a strange sense of displeasure inexplicably arose in Shinichi Kudo.
"Alright, let's go, Ran," he suddenly said, forcibly interrupting Ran, who was talking to Sonoko.
"Huh? Why so sudden..." Ran looked up at Shinichi with some surprise, but seeing the determined expression on his face, she still obediently stood up, not forgetting to give Hanyu Nan a slightly apologetic smile: "Um... Yuusheng-san, goodbye!"
After speaking, Ran gently tugged on Sonoko's sleeve, signaling her to leave together.
Sonoko, however, seemed to still be reluctant to leave, turning back three times to wave goodbye to Hanyu Nan, and repeatedly reminding him, "Don't forget, we're meeting at the entrance of Tropical Land at 8:30 tomorrow morning!"
Hanyu Nan also smiled and waved back, indicating that he would definitely be on time.
After watching the two figures gradually disappear from sight, he slowly turned around and began to stroll home, deep in thought.
It seemed he had caused Shinichi Kudo some displeasure just now, but Hanyu Nan didn't take it to heart—because the truly displeasing things for Kudo were yet to come!
He had to admit, Suzuki Sonoko and Ran Mouri were much cuter in person than in their photos, especially Ran Mouri.
It was just a pity that her heart already belonged to someone, and that someone happened to be Shinichi Kudo...
Thinking of this, a bold idea suddenly popped into Hanyu Nan's mind: Perhaps... he could try to steal her away?
Although the chances of success might not be high, if he didn't try, how would he know the outcome?
Originally, Hanyu Nan had planned to go straight home, but halfway there, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be no food left at home.
Since he always disliked having strangers in his house, this luxurious villa gifted by the system was usually only inhabited by him, except for the cleaning staff from the housekeeping company who came regularly.
After a brief thought, Hanyu Nan decided to go to a larger supermarket to buy ingredients, so he took the subway to the Tokyo metropolitan area.
On the way to the large supermarket, he happened to pass by Tokyo's famous holy land—Kabukicho.
This place was a hub of debauchery and extravagance, where money seemed to possess supreme magic, allowing people to act recklessly.
Looking around, the dazzling golden doors of the shops were mesmerizing, and in front of the doors, many young women in sexy outfits were handing out flyers to attract customers.
Some were dressed in sailor uniforms, some as maids, and there were even those in nurse's makeup, which made Hanyu Nan exclaim in wonder:
"It truly is a capitalist country; the service industry is so prosperous and developed, it's no wonder those wealthy and powerful individuals love to come here to spend lavishly and enjoy themselves!"
However, Hanyu Nan had no interest in going inside to splurge.
Although the generous inheritance left by his parents was enough for him to spend freely, this was, after all, the world of detective conan!
With so many beautiful women waiting for him to meet, why rush at this very moment?
And so, Hanyu Nan strolled into a large supermarket.
After wandering through the dazzling aisles, carefully selecting various fresh ingredients and daily necessities, he contentedly picked up his shopping bags, hailed a taxi, and prepared to return home.
