Chapter 213: Confession

In the pitch-black night, different scenes are reflected in the eyes of different people.

Within the observation tower restaurant, what you can see is the beautiful night view adorned by the lights of the entire Tokyo.

At the moment when Senichi intercepted the case, inside the restaurant, the young couple dining there enjoyed their meal with great pleasure.

Especially Ran Mouri, she was in a very good mood.

Perhaps this was the most comfortable meal she had ever had with Shinichi Kudo.

And now, Shinichi Kudo and Ran's dinner was coming to an end.

"By the way, Shinichi, what did you want to tell me?" As they reached the end of the dinner, Ran couldn't help but ask about the matter he mentioned during the day, which still had not been brought up.

"Oh... well, that is..."

Seeing the other person hesitating, Ran encouraged him with a smile, "Shinichi, you're already a grown man. You should bravely speak up about anything..."

With an earnest look, she added, "If you just want to borrow my study notes, you can just ask!"

"Huh? No, it's not..." Hearing Ran's words, Shinichi Kudo, who had a guilty conscience, became utterly confused.

"Huh? Isn't that it?" Ran looked surprised, seeing Shinichi's struggling expression. "I thought that was the thing you wanted to talk about, so I even prepared copies of my notes."

"I mean, you said it like that!" Shinichi Kudo scratched his head and laughed awkwardly. "I was a little embarrassed!"

"Is that so?" Seeing Ran's expression of 'I knew it,' Shinichi Kudo leaned over the table and said with a touch of annoyance, "How could it be like that! You wouldn't even think it would be about something like that!"

Blushing slightly, Shinichi Kudo's gaze wandered. "The reason I invited you to dinner... is that I have something very important to tell you..."

"It's... it's..."

Accompanied by Shinichi Kudo's stammering, Ran seemed to realize something, and the atmosphere between the two became subtle for a moment.

"Thump! Thump!"

With the change in atmosphere, the beating of their hearts also gradually accelerated.

"Um..."

Perhaps due to the faster heartbeat or the timing of the drug, when the familiar sensation spread from his heart, Shinichi Kudo immediately felt something was wrong and clutched his chest.

"Shinichi?"

Noticing something amiss, Ran looked at him with concern.

"I'm fine."

Feeling the urgency of time, as he would transform back into Conan.

Shinichi Kudo, who had been hesitating all along. He looked at Ran's face and finally gathered the courage to speak, "Actually, this place is where my dad proposed to my mom, right at this seat."

"Huh? Really?"

Ran was surprised by the revelation, realizing that they were now sitting here, and with the subtle atmosphere earlier, she couldn't help but start to fantasize about it.

Though she felt a bit nervous inside, she maintained her usual smile and said, "You've never told me about this before."

"My dad encountered a case here back then, and after solving it, he proposed to her at this seat."

Shinichi Kudo shyly propped his chin, turned to look out the window, not daring to meet Ran's gaze. "So... I brought you here today, to the place where my parents committed to each other, to tell you..."

Feeling his heart beating intensely, unable to distinguish between nervousness and the drug's effects, he turned to face Ran, whose eyes showed a hint of expectation and shyness, and finally mustered the courage to confess his feelings to the girl he loved!

"I like you!!"

...

In the restroom on the lower floor of the observation tower restaurant.

At this moment, smoke seemed to be emanating from Conan's whole body as he leaned on the sink, experiencing intense pain all over. His expression twisted in agony.

However, if one could see his reflection in the mirror, they would notice that despite his evident pain, the curve of a smile on his lips had not disappeared.

"From the look on your face, it seems like you succeeded in what you wanted to do. So, how did Ran respond to you?" Senichi, who stood nearby, approached the collapsed Conan and once again enjoyed the sight of Conan regressing to a child.

He handed a bag of clothes to Conan and asked with a mischievous grin.

"You're a grown man, don't be so nosy! This is my private matter!" Hearing Senichi's question, Conan blushed and took the bag, then pushed Senichi out of the restroom door, saying, "I need to change clothes. Wait outside and make sure no one comes in!"

"Okay, okay, I get it. I won't say anything." Senichi smiled amusingly and followed Conan's push to step outside.

As the restroom door closed, Conan let out a sigh of relief, but his expression still showed a tinge of frustration.

A while ago, he felt his heart beating rapidly, and his whole body was in excruciating pain, feeling like he was about to transform back. So, in the face of the shy Ran, he hurriedly said, "Take your time to think about it," and rushed out.

Though his behavior might have been a bit strange at that time, given the circumstances, Ran probably thought he was just shy after confessing, which was why he hurriedly fled.

Overall, the situation was not bad, and he managed to achieve his goal before the antidote wore off.

Thinking back to the scene of the confession, Conan's red eyes immediately turned into peas size.

Finally, urged by Senichi, Conan hurriedly put on his clothes, grabbed his credit card, and returned to the observation restaurant.

Looking at Ran, who was smiling with a smile on her face and eyes shimmering like autumn water, Conan couldn't help but be fascinated.

"Ah, Conan-kun? Why are you here?" After returning to her senses, Ran couldn't help but ask, puzzled.

"Uh, I... I'm here to bring the credit card for Shinichi-niisan!" Conan's trance was interrupted by Ran's words, and he blushed, quickly explaining.

"Hmm? Shinichi... Where is he?" Ran looked at Conan with some embarrassment.

"Uh... Well... Someone called Shinichi-niisan just now, saying there's news about a case he has been investigating, so he rushed out in a hurry."

"Oh... is that so..." Hearing this, Ran couldn't help but recall the hurried and flustered appearance of the person who confessed to her earlier. She couldn't help but smile, thinking it was just an excuse he came up with because he was shy.

"How could he leave without finishing his meal! That super idiotic detective!" She said so, but the smile at the corner of her mouth betrayed her true feelings at the moment.

Smiling brightly, Ran then turned to Conan and said, "By the way, the desserts here are delicious. Conan-kun, will you have some dessert with me?"

"Sure, I'll have lemon-flavored."

"Then I'll go with strawberry."

Under the beautiful night sky, Conan looked at Ran's smile, as radiant as flowers, and his lips couldn't help but curl up with a hint of happiness.
