Chapter 132 Ayumi's Invitation

Chapter 133 Ayumi's Invitation

The afternoon class ended with Conan and I chatting. I told Conan a lot about my experience in the organization. Of course, I didn't mention anything about Shiho, Shizuru, Ling, Mary, Taichi, and Vermouth. Not to mention Akemi. If he knew that Akemi was Hirota Masami, who he had met before, then this would be a big deal. Now I have to ensure the integrity of the plot, and there must not be any deviation.

"Conan, please come over here." After school, Conan and I were about to pack our bags to go home, but we were stopped by Ayumi. Then Ayumi smiled at me apologetically and ran out with Conan. Seeing Conan being dragged away by the little loli, I could only sit in the classroom and wait for him. My ears unconsciously used the listening skill, so I heard the conversation between Conan and Ayumi through the door not far away.

"Huh? You said you were planning to invite me and Xun to hang out near the Budokan this weekend?"

"Shh... keep your voice down. We'll hear you." Ayumi quickly made a gesture to keep quiet.

"But why do I have to tell him? Wouldn't it be better if you just invite him directly?" Conan asked puzzledly.

"But we just met." Ayumi was embarrassed. "I had planned to use the break time to talk to Mingya today and get to know her quickly, but today, whether in class or after class, I only saw you two chatting about something, not giving me a chance to talk at all." Ayumi looked at Conan complainingly, "Sure enough, good friends who have known each other for a long time can talk more easily."

"Um, okay, I'll go and ask. But Kaoru may not agree, so you have to be mentally prepared." Conan agreed reluctantly.

"Well, thank you Conan~" Ayumi's eyes flashed with little stars. Then she jumped and ran away.

Seeing Ayumi out of his sight, Conan sighed helplessly. He read without turning his head. "So, you heard everything?"

"Ah, not a single word was missed." I walked out of the classroom and threw Conan's schoolbag to him. "Go back."

"Hmm? What's your answer?" Conan took the schoolbag and walked side by side with me.

"Of course I agree." I rubbed my hair helplessly. "I just became a member of the detective team. It's not good to be absent from the first group activity. What's more, the invitation was made by a girl. How can I refuse this?"

"That's right, let's go to the Budokan together this weekend. By the way, that's where Xiaolan won the women's karate championship." Conan smiled at me.

"Hey? It seems that Xiaolan's fighting ability is not low. She is the women's karate champion. She can probably last about twenty moves under me." I thought about it and said.

"Only twenty moves?!" Conan was surprised.

"That's already very strong. Do you think the gold medal killers trained by the organization are vegetarians? In the organization, there are only three people who can last more than a hundred moves against me in close combat. Of course, I'm talking about me in my adult period. Now, I estimate that any one of the 26 gold medals can knock me down. Even if it's Xiaolan now, if I were to fight against Xiaolan in my current state, it would probably take me forty or fifty moves to win." I sighed. "No, I have to strengthen my physical training again when I have the chance. There are too many inconveniences after my body has become smaller.

"I'd rather forget it." Conan narrowed his eyes and looked at me. "It's good that your strength has become weaker. This will prevent you from going on missions."

"You can't say that, Great Detective." I spread my hands. "What I just said was when I didn't use a gun. If I could use a gun, it would be different."

"...Can we change the subject?" Conan said helplessly. "By the way, where did you put your gun? I put your clothes in the basket when you were taking a shower last night, but I didn't find the gun."

"That's right. If you can find me, I, the best killer, would have lived in vain. Don't worry, I put him in the house... Wait, you searched for my gun?!" I looked at Conan angrily. At the same time, I exuded a trace of murderous aura to prove my anger. When Conan saw that I was angry, he quickly waved his hands and begged for mercy.

"Ah, that, I just want to help you keep the gun safe, so that Uncle Maori and Xiaolan won't find it." Facing me who was already emitting a faint murderous aura, Conan's head was instantly covered with sweat.

"...Forget it, you can't find it anyway. Don't forget that I'm a professional, hiding a gun is a necessary skill for me." I waved my hand to dispel the murderous aura. My gun has always been kept in the necklace, Conan will definitely not find it. "As for your nonsense about wanting to keep the gun for me, forget it. If you let the gun go off and hurt yourself, I won't pay for your medical expenses."

"Hey, hey, don't look down on me like that. I've touched a gun before, too." Conan squinted his half-moon eyes and stared at me.

"Huh? You've played with guns before?"

"Yeah, about a year ago in Hawaii, my dad taught me how to use a gun correctly." Conan grinned.

"Where did Uncle Yusaku get the gun?" I continued to ask.

"Um... well, in the United States, people have the right to bear arms."

"That's only for U.S. citizens."

"...Can we change the subject?"

"..."

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

I didn't delve into Conan's gun issue. Uncle Yusaku would definitely not tell Shinichi about this. After all, Kudo Yusaku's identity is notable. If he is just a detective novelist, I really don't believe this. Before that, he must have some secrets. As for owning guns, I can understand it. Although Conan kept saying that they went to a shooting training camp in Hawaii. However, that kind of place is not something you can enter just by paying money.

"But speaking of which, Xun, you just said that if you use a gun, your strength will instantly increase. Are you really that good at shooting?"

"If it's my usual gun, you can pick any target within 200 yards." I shrugged.

"Is this true?" Conan asked with a look of disbelief.

I didn't say anything, I just stood there without moving.

"What's wrong?" Conan asked in confusion as he saw me standing still. I squinted my eyes and looked at my current position. Then I said calmly.

"...It's about 200 yards from here to Sonoko's position in front. Do you want me to show you how to shoot her skirt off?" As I said that, I took out the Desert Eagle from my necklace and gently made a gun flower. Then I quickly put it back and looked at Conan with a smirk on my face. And Conan followed my gaze and looked at an intersection in front. At the street corner where I met Sonoko in the morning, Sonoko and Xiaolan, who were wearing Teitan High School uniforms, were happily chatting about something. They didn't pay any attention to what was happening on our side. "Hey, hey..." Conan got another drop of cold sweat on his head. "Is it really okay for you to carry a gun with you to school?
"Don't worry, I've been playing with guns for ten years, so I still have some confidence. Let's go, the two girls are still waiting for us." With a grin, Conan and I walked towards Xiaolan and the others.

"Sister Xiaolan, Sister Sonoko." When we reached the corner of the street, Conan and I greeted the two of them. Only then did Xiaolan and Sonoko come back to their senses from their laughter and look at us.

"Oh, Xiaoxun, Conan, you are here." Xiaolan smiled at us.

"Hey, you two kids are really late for school." Yuanzi said with her hands on her hips. "Well, Xiaolan, we'll see you tomorrow~" Seeing us coming, Yuanzi knew she had to say goodbye to Xiaolan. After all, Xiaolan was going to take us home and cook dinner.

"Okay, then we'll meet here tomorrow night." Xiaolan also smiled and waved to Sonoko.

"Meet here tonight?" Conan and I were both puzzled.

"Ah, that's it. Last time, Sonoko wanted to invite us to sing karaoke to thank Conan for protecting the Dark Star. At the same time, Sonoko also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Xiaoxun. So we agreed to go sing together on Friday night after school." (I'm too lazy to write Wednesday and Tuesday. Just Monday to the weekend, everyone understands.)
"Sing?!" When I heard this, I shuddered instantly.

"Huh? What's wrong, Xiaoxun?" Xiaolan asked confusedly.

"No, nothing." I waved my hands awkwardly.

"Oh~ I understand. Could it be that Xiaoxun doesn't have confidence in her singing?" Xiaolan looked as if she suddenly realized something.

"No, that's not the case... Okay, I'll go." I sighed helplessly. It's not that I don't have confidence in my singing. After all, when I was in the organization, all the knowledge about vocal music, musical instruments, and painting was taught to me by Shizuka. I think it's not difficult to be bad. What I'm worried about is Conan next to me. As a friend who I've known since childhood, I know very well how strong Kudo's talent for being tone-deaf is. As long as he opens his mouth... I can't take it anymore. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

"Well, it's decided then. Yuanzi and I will wait for you two here after school tomorrow. Don't be late." After saying that, Xiaolan took us home with a smile.

However, the next day...

【Hundred Years of ぶりの! At the end of the century~~, weep~け!といわれて. . . YE! 】

"Wow! I kind of regret bringing this brat here!" In the KTV private room, Sonoko covered her ears and shouted in pain, trying to hold back the sound of Conan's voice that had already run away to who knows where.

Xiaolan, who was sitting next to me, was also staring with her eyes wide open, with several strands of her hair standing up. It seemed that she was also shocked by Conan's singing. However, I was sitting on the other side of the sofa calmly and leisurely playing with my phone.

"Hey, Xiaoxun, don't you have any resistance to Conan's singing?" Sonoko said to me, covering her ears.

"..."

"Ah? Masaka?!" Sonoko seemed to realize something and patted my shoulder gently.

"Hmm?" I looked up at Sonoko, who looked in pain, and took out the earplugs that I had prepared in my ears. "What's wrong, Sonoko-sister?"

"...nothing."

"Oh." After saying that, I plugged in my earphones and continued to fiddle with my phone, not paying any attention to Yuanzi's frown.

The five minutes of torture finally ended. Xiaolan and Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief. Then everyone went up to sing a few songs, and of course I was no exception. Anyway, I had the basic skills, so singing was not a difficult thing. In order to have a formal meeting with Miss Sonoko, I also went up to sing a song. Then I returned to my seat and continued to flip through my phone.

"Hey, Xun. You have been here looking through your phone since the beginning. What are you doing?" Conan, who had gone up to sing a song again, came to my side and asked me.

"..."

"Hey... I'm talking to you." Conan squinted his eyes and patted my shoulder.

"Huh? Oh, you've finished singing." I took out the earplugs from my ears.

"Hey, you are such a fool." Conan was extremely helpless about my behavior. "Although my singing is not very good, you can't be so disrespectful to me, right?"

"Well, you know that your singing is terrible, so you'd better not sing on stage. Otherwise, you will hurt others and yourself."

"Hey, hey. Sorry, sorry." Conan scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Great Detective, you don't seem to understand what I mean." I turned off my phone and looked at him seriously. "You should know that I'm not the only one who knows that you're tone-deaf. And you're not the only one who's tone-deaf. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Huh?!" Conan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he subconsciously looked at Xiaolan who was still singing on the stage. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh... Looks like I have to be more careful all the time." Conan said with a frown.

"Ah, it's not necessarily a bad thing to be more careful. If you act too much like Kudo Shinichi in your daily life, once Xiaolan gets suspicious, you won't always be able to find an excuse to get away with it. Although I don't want to disturb your interest in singing. But if Xiaolan is around, you should be as careful as possible." After saying that, I opened my phone again and continued to flip through it. "Oh, by the way, I have to add that your singing is really bad."

"Hey, hey..." The originally serious atmosphere was instantly broken by my words. Conan was left staring at me with his half-moon eyes.
