It's just a grocery store.

Chapter 176 I Really Like You

After the transaction was successful, Lingshi ignored the system that was excitedly counting points on the side, and turned back to walk towards Saiki Kusuo.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go, the problem is solved."

Putting his hand on Saiki Kusuo's shoulder, Lingshi said that the problem was finally solved and he could relax. However, Saiki Kusuo did not respond. It took him a while to come to his senses and nodded in agreement.

Saiki K: ...I hope so.

As Lingshi walked back to the upper cabin, Conan rushed over faster than Huang Quan, and looked back from time to time, but he only saw Saiki Kusuo, but no sign of the woman.

Conan: "Uncle Zero, where is that woman?"

At midnight, I lifted Conan from my lap and pinched his face. The chubby face of the child felt really good to the touch, and it was a perfect way to relieve stress.

After being relieved, Ling Shi generously hugged him and went to Huang Quan to explain.

Zero Time: "It was easily solved. Everything should be fine from now on. I'll go tell Atobe first."

Huang Quan: "That was pretty fast. What did you do?"

Zero Hour: "With my excellent eloquence and understanding heart, I left her speechless, and then sent her off the boat."

Conan: Get off the boat? You threw people into the sea in the middle of the ocean!?

Conan couldn't help but scream, and when he said the words "get off the boat", Lingshi covered his mouth and physically interrupted his spell.

Conan looked at Ling Shi, who could only explain:

"Why? Don't frame me. She left on her own. Kusuo can prove it to me."

Turning around, he saw Saiki Kusuo nodding. Okay, he was just overthinking it, and Conan felt relieved. Although his guardian was very capable, he probably wouldn't kill anyone.

Although Zero Hour did not explain what happened in detail, Huang Quan did not need to delve into it. As long as nothing happened, it was fine. Then he took Conan and rushed to Zero Hour to find Keigo Atobe.

Huang Quan: "Then go and explain to them quickly. We have been fidgeting since we came back, and have been constantly trying to appease others."

"You didn't tell them anything, but he was able to help you like this. Some people just wanted to leave, and he made great efforts. He really deserves to be a leader. His speech is so majestic."

Zero Hour: Why, he suppressed everyone?

Why does he sound like a tyrant? But he trusts me so much without any explanation. Xiaojing is really his good brother and friend, and he must thank him very much.

At midnight, his arms were empty, so he turned around and left happily.

Conan felt embarrassed about being treated as a real child. Why did Zero like to hug him so much, and so did Mr. Huang Quan? After all, he was still a high school student at heart.

Even if Huang Quan didn't know his true identity, it was so embarrassing. Conan tried to get down. At least Ayumi and the others didn't have to be hugged like that every day.

At this moment, Genta and the others focused their attention on Conan again, and even deliberately said loudly,

"Conan, you're already so old, and you still let your uncle hold you all day long, hehe."

Conan: "I didn't, idiot!"

Huang Quan put Conan down. He rubbed Conan's head and said with a smile:

"It's okay, we love Conan so much that we like to hug him."

Several children were attracted by Huang Quan's words and looked up. Conan also looked up at the person who put his hand on his head. Huang Quan then explained:

"Because your Uncle Zero and I don't have any children, it's rare for our family to have a child as smart and cute as Conan. I will definitely treat him as my own child."

"Besides, Zero Time is indeed Conan's guardian now, which is great, isn't it? Conan makes up for our regret of not being able to have children."

The kids didn't know what to say for a moment, as they seemed not to be able to laugh. Ayumi blamed herself for her behavior, staring at her fingers, feeling that she had gone too far.

Uncle Lingshi and Uncle Huangquan don’t have children, so they acted like this because they like Conan very much. I shouldn’t talk like that, uh uh uh.

But there is still a way to make up for it, there must be. The careful girl Ayumi immediately thought of what to say.

"Wow, I see. Conan is so lucky. His lunchbox smells delicious every day. I envy Conan for having Uncle Lingshi and Uncle Huangquan as his guardians."

Huang Quan was obviously very happy when he heard this, and Conan also scratched his cheek. Although he felt embarrassed, Zero Hour and the others were indeed very nice to him.

So Conan reached out and took Huang Quan's hand,

"Yeah, I also think it's great to be able to live with Uncle Lingshi and Uncle Huangquan."

Seeing this, Mitsuhiko and Genta couldn't help but say:

"So cunning! I also want to have the same bento as Conan, as well as snacks. Uncle Zero is so nice to Conan."

"That's right. The last time I went to Conan's house, there was a big bookcase in his bedroom filled with books, computers, and even a Kamen Rider action figure."

Conan: ...That was bought by Lingshi on purpose to put a desk for him to accommodate the children.

Huang Quan would not buy such childish things. After spending time with Conan, he knew that Conan was not an ordinary child. He was even more mature than when he was a child. He only heard Lingshi recommend him to bring back detective novels.

The reason for Zero Hour is to just in case, what if someone deduces that Edogawa Conan is Kudo Shinichi based on the room?

Conan: I'm speechless. How is that possible?

Having said that, Conan still allowed Zero to keep stuffing his room with toys that children liked.

Even the TV in the living room can play games (I actually want to play games myself sometimes), it's a perfect template for a family with children.

Zero Hour wasn't just trying to hide his identity, it actually satisfied his hobby of raising children?

Conan's idea is correct in some ways.

Switching to the other side, Ling Shi just found Atobe Keigo, who raised his chin and let out a dissatisfied sound from his nose.

Zero Hour: Oops.

Seeing that the old man was unhappy, I couldn't care whether he believed it or not, so I could only explain the whole cause and effect to him.

After hearing this, Keigo Atobe was indeed skeptical. Monsters and the like were simply unbelievable. How could it be possible? It was a bit beyond his worldview.

The worldview of more than 20 years collapsed... Not really. He had heard of some similar things, but that was not what he said at the time.

"Humph, it's completely fabricated, just a psychological effect, and you're still spending money on it."

At this moment, Atobe Keigo: ...

Was it that Zero Hour was fooling him, or was it that the world he lived in was actually a little unscientific?

Ling Shi had no choice but to take out a piece of mermaid scale and show it to him. When Keigo Atobe took it, he felt the difference of this thing.

This thing is very beautiful, like a thin gem, not plastic. You can feel the cool touch on it, and the colors on it are still flowing.

It was a very beautiful scale. If someone said it was a gem, I would believe it. It was glittering and colorful. Having seen many good things, I could tell that this thing was unusual.

He thought it was incredible, and just when he was about to return it to Lingshi, Lingshi waved his hand and asked him to take it.

"Hey, take it. Use it as a talisman. I'll give you a bag to put it in. You can wear it later. This is a good thing from the mermaid."

Atobe Keigo: "You're quite generous. You're not really trying to fool me with plastic, are you?"

Ling Shi: "What are you talking about? I'm sad!"

On this day, Keigo Atobe's worldview was innovated.
