12. underestimated
there was one thing that conan despised more than too much sugar in a perfectly good cup of coffee, and that is being treated like a fool. He knew that he looked like an innocent and naive child, but he had already 17 years of living and with a large amount of that 17 years spent on catching criminals, he'd seen the scums of society and the beauty of forgiveness. But one thing he would never tolerate, is being condemned to harsh mocking against his and his friends' intellects.
"...AND WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW?! YOU'RE JUST A FOOLISH CHILD WITH A GLASSES TOO BIG TO EVEN SEE WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, DON'T GO ACTING AS THOUGH YOU KNOW ANYTHING! AND FOR GOD'S SAKE SOMEONE GET THESE UNSIGHTLY BRATS OFF THIS VICINITY!"
one of the old women suspected of this crime screamed in outrage at the group of grade schoolers who were simply trying to help gather information and provide reassurance to those traumatised by the death of their friend.
Now, Conan was a very patient person, he could handle insults against him with the occasional retaliation when he felt like, but this, this was crossing the line. He couldn't accept this woman for calling his friends "unsightly brats"...
"ne ne obasan..."
"what do you want brat." she hissed.
"I think, you should shut the fuck up." Conan said in the most childlike innocence way he could muster while containing his anger.
"..."
All eyes were on him. Takagi looked at him with eyes popping out of his sockets, Chiba looked offended, Megure was in shock. Thank god Ran was too far away to have heard him. Kogoro was smirking apparently, he must have gotten sick and tired of that woman's whining. And Haibara,...she was trying her best to get the kids not to repeat what he had said.
The old hag looked as if she was kicked, but quickly changed her expression to one of rage.
"how DARE YOU-"
"I dare." he cut her off. he had a look screaming 'try me bitch'
The woman gave up, stomping back away to her seat and plomping down with her arms crossed.
victory for the kids!
