Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

The school bell rang at Teitan High School. Ran, who was chatting with Sonoko next to her seat, picked up her schoolbag and glanced at the three Yoshiokas in the last row. She was hesitant.

"I want to invite them. It's not like you to be so shy."

Holding her chin, Vermouth, who was disguised as Machiko, smiled nonchalantly, "Or do those three students have a grudge against you, Ran?"

"How is that possible?"

Ran turned around and defended, "I just don't know where to invite them."

In fact, there was another reason. After a day of observation, Ran felt that Yoshioka and Jiro did not look like Yuuji, but it was certain that the two people next to him were Yuzuki and Kaori.

[Yuuji sent them to school to make it easier to communicate with Shinichi. ]

Although the idea of ​​force questioning flashed through her mind several times, she had to hold it back when she thought that it might disrupt Yuuji's plans and arrangements.

If Shinichi didn't have a holiday today, they could go home together and know what Yuuji asked them to say on the way. Knowing that she was probably not among the people Yuji was communicating with, Xiaolan wisely excluded herself from the questioning.

[By the way! If Machiko were to go and have a chat, maybe it would be possible. ]

Having no idea that Yuji had already exposed Machiko's true identity to the girls on the ship returning to Japan, Xiaolan leaned close to Vermouth's ear and whispered, "Machiko, can you find a way to ask them secretly? Does Yuji have something to tell Shinichi?"

Having noticed that Xiaolan was fidgeting, she silently waited for her to come over. As the girl's breath blew over her earlobe, Vermouth was slightly absent-minded for a moment, then shook her head to force herself to wake up.

"Eh? No way?"

Not expecting Machiko to reject her, Xiaolan stood there blankly, her little hand grabbing the hem of her skirt.

"How do you know they have a relationship with Kudo Yuji?"

Chris moved a little to the left, exposing one-third of the chair, and patted it to signal Xiaolan to sit down.

"I have my own chair."

The two people's chairs were next to each other, and Xiaolan was embarrassed to sit down. Just as she was about to move her own chair, her hand was pulled by Machiko.

"Xiaolan, has no one told you that you have to give benefits to ask people to do things for you?"

Sitting on the chair firmly, Vermouth did not worry about hurting Xiaolan, and pulled her down with force. Looking at the girl sitting on her legs, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"You haven't answered my question yet? How do you know that it was Kudo Yuji who let them enter high school?"

Although she was a little shy in public, Xiaolan whispered after hearing Machiko's words: "Because the girls next to Yoshioka and Jiro are Yuzuki and Kaori, we learned disguise together, and we can see it at once."

In fact, there is no need to be so anxious to find out Yuji's whereabouts. As long as you know who came back from England with Yoshioka and Jiro, it is easy to judge Yuji's current identity.

But knowing from Sonoko that Yoshioka and Jiro's father is a new councillor, Xiaolan feels that no matter how much Yuuji disguises himself, the councillor is a bit exaggerated, and just thinks that this brother is hidden by Mr. Yoshioka Tetsuo.

"I can ask for you, but if it's a benefit..."

Machiko quietly stretched out her hand against the wall and gently placed it on Xiaolan's leg wearing white stockings. Feeling the tightness and firmness caused by her sudden force, she nodded with satisfaction and agreed.
