Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 18 Extra Story: Two People Arguing
"Kaori, let's go back together."

As soon as the school bell rang, Yuzuki Usami couldn't wait to run to Class B of the fifth grade. It had been almost a month since Kaori Minami left with her after school.

"Oh, Usami-san, Kaori-san has gone back."

"Kudou-san?...You just said...Kaori...student."

"Well, Kaori-san said she called me that anyway, so she asked me to call her that too."

Usami Yuzuki felt strange. Although Minami Kaori had always called Kudo Yuji "Yuji-san" before, Yuji still called her "Minami-san".

When did they start calling each other by name?

Usami Yuzuki felt a little regretful in her heart, maybe she should have stopped Kaori from calling Kudo Yuji that kind of affectionate in the first place.

At noon the next day, Yuzuki Usami called Kaori under the ginkgo tree when everyone in Class B was present.

"What's wrong with you?"

Minami Kaori's eyes were evasive, instead of looking directly at Usami Yuzuki.

"Xiaori...someone told me today about what happened at noon yesterday."

She had thought about it before, her good friend fell in love with the person she had a crush on.In fact, she felt something was wrong as early as the fourth grade, but Kaori still had that carefree look, which made her not pay attention to this matter any more.

"Then...what do you think..."

"I know, you don't like Kudo-kun. The rumors in the school make you very troubled, right? As long as you don't talk to Kudo-san anymore, no one will misunderstand you anymore."

"…don't want."

"Eh…!"

"I said I don't want it!"

Usami Yuzuki seemed to understand something, she lowered her head and touched the bunny hairpin in her hair.

"Kaori...let's calm down first."

Usami Yuzuki left, leaving only Nan Xiangori sitting under the ginkgo tree in despair.Someone blocked the sun in front of him, it was Yuji Kudo.

"Have you had a fight with Usami-san?"

Yuji held the fried noodles bread he just bought from the school canteen in his hand and sat next to Minami Kaori.

Yuji really didn't understand what happened between girls. He just sat there eating bread with his left hand underneath to prevent crumbs from falling to the ground.

"What, Yuji-san knows how to be handsome."

"Are you trying to be cool? I'm just eating bread! But you and Usami-san have always been good friends, haven't you? As long as you make it clear, I think everything will be fine."

"No! This time...it's a little different."

The girl remembered that she hadn't eaten yet, so she stretched out her hand and begged the boy for the remaining half of the chow mein bread.

"Hey! Didn't you bring a bento? I can't get enough of the fried noodles with only half of the bread!"

"Nao Suo, then I can give you half of my lunch box. Give it to me quickly!"

What exactly happened?Obviously I just quarreled with Yuzuki because of him before, and now I do this kind of thing unconsciously, do I really like Yuji-san?
As she ate the bread in her hand, the sun shone through the ginkgo leaves on her body, making her cold hands and feet feel warm again.

Stuffing the leftover wrapping paper into her pocket, Minami Kaori hugged her knees, facing Yuuji, seeing him licking the bread crumbs on his hands, her face turned red again.

She doesn't like him!Just annoying.
