Guns and Coffee in the World of Science

Chapter 216 The game is over

In the lounge of the venue, Mao Lilan sat on the sofa, holding ice packs in her hands and gently applying them to her shoulders and abdomen, trying her best to relax.

Although her body felt some pain, she was surprisingly calm as she recalled the battle with Jamaldin in her mind.

Although she lost the game, she did not feel too lost.

Jamaldin was indeed powerful and almost invincible during the competition, but she knew that she was not without gain.

Ran Mao Li sighed softly and looked at her friends around her, especially Sonoko who was sitting next to her. The anger on her face had not completely subsided.

"Damn it! That bastard! Don't be sad, Xiaolan, I'll help you get rid of him!"

Yuanzi's tone was full of anger, and her fingers tightly clenched the drink bottle in her hand, as if she was going to crush it at any time.

Mao Lilan smiled helplessly and reached out to pat Sonoko's shoulder: "Forget it, Sonoko, I defeated me with my strength. I can't beat you, so don't be impulsive."

Her voice was gentle yet firm, and her eyes revealed a determination not to give up.

"But that guy is going too far!"

Sonoko continued to feel indignant.

"You could easily win, but you insisted on fighting like that! Look at how cold he was from the start. I don't know how much stronger he is than you, yet you still..."

"Yuanzi, stop talking."

Mao Lilan interrupted her with a smile. Although there was a hint of bitterness at the corner of her mouth, her eyes were firm.

"Jamardin didn't play any tricks. He's very strong. I lost this time with conviction. Instead of getting angry, I should think about where I can improve."

Chen Shuo sat on the sofa, holding a bottle of drink in his hand, looking at Mao Lilan with satisfaction.

"Come on, even though I feel bad for you."

He ruffled Sonoko's hair and said half-jokingly.

"But this is a competition, and that Jamaldin is really good. There's no shame in losing, Xiaolan."

His eyes were soft and his voice was soothing.

"Ah."

Mao Lilan smiled slightly, she straightened her chest and raised her chin, as if telling herself.

This is only temporary, I will definitely do better next time.

Chen Shuo smiled gently, looking at Mao Lilan's strength and confidence, he couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her cheek with a bit of pampering.

"Keep working hard, you will become stronger."

After saying that, he leaned over and kissed her gently.

Although it was just a simple kiss, it was full of warmth and encouragement.

"Eh~~~"

Ai and Sonoko spoke almost in unison, completely unable to stand this crazy couple.

---

The four of them walked out of the venue. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the tall buildings onto the street, and the air was filled with a slight heat.

Although Mao Lilan did not win the championship, there was no trace of loss on her face. On the contrary, she seemed more relaxed.

She originally came here to relax, play a game, and spend a few happy days with friends. As for winning the championship, it was not in her plan at all.

"Brother Shuo! We're going shopping, do you want to come with us?"

Sonoko happily took Mao Lilan's arm, with an excited look on her face, and asked Chen Shuo as they walked.

There was an irresistible excitement in her tone, and today's shopping trip was already prepared perfectly.

Chen Shuo frowned slightly, glanced to the side, and showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Um... I'm going to go have a drink with Kogoro... Have fun, you guys..."

He spoke in a slow tone, as if he wanted to avoid something and was reluctant to face the upcoming shopping plan.

When it comes to shopping, Chen Shuo's legs feel like they're filled with lead. He imagines the overwhelming merchandise, the labels everywhere, the tedious sales pitches, and even the scene of himself being dragged into the mall and standing in front of a pile of clothes racks waiting boredly.

He would rather go on a dangerous mission right now than walk around the mall with a group of girls.

"Tsk...boring man."

Xiao Ai walked past Chen Shuo, glanced at him with dead fish eyes, and her tone of complaint was as cold as ever.

Chen Shuo smiled awkwardly, scratched his head lightly, and waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, stop looking at me and go have fun."

He turned around quickly, quickened his pace, almost running, and disappeared from the sight of the three women in a flash.

"Oh, you're walking pretty fast."

Yuanzi couldn't help laughing as he watched Chen Shuo leave in a hurry.

"You can't even go shopping with me. What a boring man."

Xiao Ai curled her lips and spoke lightly.

Mao Lilan didn't care. She smiled lightly and waved her hand as if she was pointing out the world.

"Okay, let's ignore him and have a great time shopping today! I'm ready to pick out some new clothes!"

"Oh!!"

Sonoko and Ai responded in unison, their voices filled with a hint of mischief and excitement.

---

In an inconspicuous fly-infested restaurant in Singapore, the air was filled with the smell of alcohol, and the table was piled with steaming fried rice, greasy fried food and several unopened bottles of beer.

Although the environment of this place is simple, there are occasional oil stains on the tables, and the old-fashioned fan in the corner makes a clicking sound, but for Kogoro Mori, this casual and relaxed atmosphere is exactly the goal of his trip.

This "famous detective" was busy drinking and flirting with girls every day in Singapore, and had no time to think about the real purpose of his visit to Singapore.

Chen Shuo slowly sat down opposite him. He picked up a bottle of beer on the table, gently unscrewed the cap, making a crisp sound, and took a sip.

"You are really decadent..."

Chen Shuo smiled and shook his head, glancing around at this unremarkable little restaurant and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

On the contrary, Kogoro Mori seemed more relaxed, with a relaxed smile on his face.

"What are you talking about? I'm on vacation now."

There was a hint of unruliness in his tone.

"This is the life I want: no pressure, no responsibilities, and complete relaxation."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine bottle, smiled and touched it against Chen Shuo's bottle, making a crisp clinking sound.

"Why are you looking for me instead of playing with the girls?"

Kogoro Mouri raised his eyebrows and gave a playful smile.

Chen Shuo shrugged, looking somewhat helpless.

"They went shopping, and I wasn't following them. It was too scary."

As he spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, as if recalling the fear of being dominated by girls.

"Ahahahaha! Indeed, indeed!"

Kogoro Mouri laughed.

"You're right, shopping is not something we men should do!"

Chen Shuo chuckled, put down the beer bottle, picked up the fried spring rolls on the table, poked it with a chopstick, and seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

The two continued to drink in tacit understanding, enjoying the temporary peace and leisure, as if the hustle and bustle of Singapore had nothing to do with them.

---

The lights in the fly-in restaurant were dim, the smell of alcohol and oil smoke were mixed together, and there was a relaxed yet slightly noisy atmosphere in the air.

Kogoro Maori and Chen Shuo were already a little tipsy, the atmosphere was cheerful, and the beer bottles on the table were almost empty.

Kogoro Mouri leaned back in his chair, relaxed, and smiled a little inappropriately.

"This is the rhythm of vacation, haha, you are too serious, you should do this from time to time!"

Chen Shuo calmly sipped his wine, exchanging a few jokes with him from time to time.

There was no conflict or silence in the atmosphere between the two of them, but rather a comfortable peace, as if the outside world had nothing to do with them.

However, at this moment, there was suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps and commotion at the door.

The two of them turned their heads almost at the same time, only to see a figure rushing into the bar like a gust of wind.

Kidd and Conan quickly appeared at the door.

Kidd was in disguise, disguising himself as Kudo Shinichi, and appeared to be in a hurry.

Conan followed closely behind, with a serious expression and quick steps.

Standing behind them, Wakasa Rumi exuded a cold aura and had a slightly serious look in her eyes.

"Sorry uncle!"

Conan spoke first. Although he was a little surprised to see Chen Shuo here, he didn't linger on his gaze for long, as if there was something more important.

Conan and Kidd almost simultaneously walked around Chen Shuo and went straight to Maori Kogoro, who was still leaning on his chair, slightly drunk, with an intoxicating smile on his lips.

Kogoro Mouri didn't seem to be fully aware of the movement around him. He was still shaking the wine bottle with a smile and muttering to himself.

"Well... yes... one more cup..."

Before he could finish, Kidd had already quickly lifted him off the chair.

"Hey! Hey! Kid, what are you doing!"

Kogoro Mouri was picked up, obviously dazed, and his body swayed with Kidd's movements.

Conan opened his coat without hesitation and began to search in Kogoro Mouri's pockets.

Conan quickly took out a gold coin from Mouri Kogoro's bag, glanced at it casually, as if confirming something, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"This is it!"

There was a hint of joy in Kidd's tone, and then he threw the drunk Kogoro Mouri to the ground with a muffled sound.

Conan picked up the gold coin, looked at it carefully, and turned to Mouri Kogoro.

"Uncle! Lend me this!"

His words were brief but filled with urgency, as if the gold coin was very important to them.

After saying that, the two turned around, barely even glancing at Chen Shuo, and hurried out the door.

Wakasa Rumi lowered her head slightly and bowed to Chen Shuo with no extra expression on her face. Then she followed closely behind him and quickly disappeared outside the bar.

The only ones left were Chen Shuo and Maori Kogoro, who was still lying on the ground in a daze.

He was still drunk and stared blankly at the empty bottle, as if everything that had just happened had left him feeling a little confused.

"What are these three doing?"

Chen Shuo rubbed his temples and sighed softly, as if he couldn't understand what had just happened. But he didn't want to think about it anymore and just let them be.

Anyway, with Wakasa Rumi around, nothing serious will happen to his tool.

"Hey, Kogoro, don't fall asleep, let's go."

Chen Shuo patted the dazed Kogoro Mouri lying on the ground.

Kogoro Mouri shook his head, as if he had just woken up from a half-sleep state. He yawned loudly, rubbed his eyes, and muttered to himself.

"Hmm... why are you leaving again? You haven't had enough to drink..."

He stood up unsteadily, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he looked a little disoriented.

"Don't pretend, it's almost enough."

Chen Shuo supported him helplessly, handed the wallet to the restaurant owner, paid the bill, stood up and patted his pants.

"Let's go back to the hotel."

I wish you all a happy New Year!
