Detective Conan everything screwed up

Conan looked at Rias who wasn't paying much attention to him at the moment, looking once again lost in thought as she almost mechanically ate some of the food that she had fixed for them to eat. She was a pretty decent cook, even if the edges were a bit burnt because she had been distracted by her new 'son' and cuddling him.

He was starting to really worry about these episodes of hers. They were happening so frequently…

"Keep looking like that and your face will freeze baby." Rias said smiling at her 'son' who blinked and then gave her a sheepish smile.

"Sorry." Conan apologized as he looked down at his plate and ate a little bit more of the food that she had fixed, it was yummy even with the small bits of burnt parts in it.

The rest of dinner was pretty quiet as the two finished eating and then Conan helpfully toted his dishes to the sink while Rias insisted on washing and drying them herself.

After they were put up in their proper spots Rias sat next to Conan on the couch and went over a random case file that he had picked up, noting a few things off that Mouri should have noticed already but apparently hadn't since they weren't marked down. It seemed like Conan noticed them as well since he was marking them down neatly and in perfect spelling on the page to be looked over thoroughly later.

That's about the time when there was a knock on the office door as they looked up to see a probable customer.

"Ah hello." Rias said bowing in greeting to the woman that showed up at the agency.

"Hello." The woman said blinking for a long moment as she stared between the two of them confused. She thought that Mouri Kogoro was supposed to be here.

"If you're looking for Mouri-senpai then he's on a case out of town at the moment. My name is Rias Sitri. I'm his apprentice, this is Conan Edogawa, his ward." Rias said with a polite smile as she showed her to the empty couch since Conan was still swaddled in blankets and things on the other.

"I see. Are you allowed to take my case yourself or should I come back later when Mouri-san is in?" The woman asked taking the offered seat on the couch while Rias smiled warmly at the woman. Finally this was the chance to do as Rum commanded and prove herself.

/Why do we want to do anything that pirate bastard commands again?/

"Ah I don't think I'm up to his level yet but I should be able to solve the case, and Conan-kun here is surprisingly perceptive and notices little things most kids wouldn't. He's been able to help Mouri-senpai solve a number of cases with the things he notices. If you don't mind settling with us instead of Mouri-senpai then wed be happy to solve your case." Rias said smiling brightly at the woman who nodded slowly while Conan looked interested and happy. Finally someone who recognized his skills and that his little 'hints' actually led to the crime being solved!

"I'm on a tight schedule so I suppose you'll have to do." The woman said with a small sigh but nodded at them as Conan pulled a small notebook out of his pocket and Rias went to fetch a pad of paper and a pen to take notes on the case and the details.

"Alright. Tell us everything you can about the case and what exactly it is you want us to investigate." Rias said professionally as she sat down beside Conan who was looking just as professional and serious as a six-year-old could.

Personally Rias thought he looked adorable with his most serious frown on to go with his chubby little cheeks and adorable almost baby face, but she had to keep the urge to squeal and coo in check since right now she was about to start on an assignment. Or rather…a case.

It was time to be serious despite how cute Conan was.
