[Conan/Through Her] Fairy's Indus

When the weather started to warm up, Masumi Sera finally transferred to our class.

To me, this was a catastrophe.

It was an early morning like any other. At that time, I was struggling sadly with a somewhat difficult geometry problem. I listened half-heartedly to the chatter of Xiaolan and Yuanzi who were sitting in front of me. My thoughts stagnated and reached a dead end. At that time, I vaguely heard their conversation seeming to be about "So it was Shinichi who solved the case in the end", "Why didn't he call the woman he loved?", "That person seems to be a detective too" , "What did he mean when he said we would see you soon?" and the like.

I tapped my chin with my pen, stared at them with my eyes wide open and my mind empty. My mind was still stuck on the complicated topic, and I failed to listen to their conversation.

So when the class bell rang after that, our homeroom teacher led Sera into the class. I was caught off guard by the sudden sight of her and was awakened by it. I almost fell to my knees on the ground in fright.

The girl on the podium put her hands behind her back and smiled brightly, "My name is Masumi Sera! Please take care of me!"

My eyes widened in shock, and my brain started to freeze.

When she looked around the class and glanced in the direction of my seat, I lowered my head subconsciously.

As soon as I made this move, an alarm went off in my confused brain, and I realized that something bad was going on. This kind of guilty reaction was more eye-catching and more likely to attract the other person's attention...

Just when I thought of this, the new classmate on the podium already said cheerfully: "Teacher, can I sit there?"

I looked up stiffly, and sure enough, I saw Sera's index finger pointing straight at the empty seat next to me. Her eyes were bright, and her big eyes were staring at me constantly.

I suddenly had the illusion of being locked by a wild wolf, and a numb feeling ran from the soles of my feet along my back to my scalp.

The good-tempered head teacher didn't notice anything strange at all, and agreed to her request with a light and cheerful wave of his hand.

After Sera became my deskmate, the first thing he said to me was: "Oh, I've seen this question before. You can use two auxiliary lines like this."

I followed her gestures and found out that it was the damn geometry problem that I had just forgotten for a long time but had now completely forgotten.

I stared at the question blankly, unable to find my train of thought for a long time, and said "Huh?" in confusion.

She wondered, "Don't you understand yet?"

I quickly pulled myself back to my senses, forced myself to recall the train of thought that had just been interrupted, and combined it with the ideas provided by Shiliang. I finally caught the light of wisdom and suddenly said, "Ah!! I know it! So that's it!"

Perhaps this is how crises can unleash human potential...

All in all, it is easier to solve the problem after finding the right idea. I spread out half a piece of calculation paper and finally solved the problem. The moment I finished thinking, the worries that I had temporarily left behind immediately came back to my mind. .

I belatedly realized that my troublesome new deskmate seemed to have been watching me from just now.

Her wolf-like gaze followed him everywhere.

I stiffly twisted my neck towards her seat, and she met my straight eyes, smiling with a cute little tiger tooth between her eyebrows: "Are you untied?"

"Well, it's solved..." I said mechanically, "Thank you, Sera-san, thanks for your reminder, you are really awesome."

"Oh, Ruri, why did you call me Sera-kun? I'm so cute." She leaned in front of me, with an inexplicable smile in her raised eyes, "Didn't I tell you this four years ago? , my name is Zhenchun.”

There seemed to be a delicate and cute little girl with short hair standing in front of me, looking straight at me. Her big, smart dark green eyes were filled with expectation, and her slightly childish voice sounded clearly in my ears. echo.

——"My name is Zhenzhun."

——"This is my email address. Want to make a friend?"

It has obviously been four years...

But what happened that day, the way she looked at me expectantly, and these two sentences she said to me are still clearly imprinted in my mind.

And sure enough, she still remembered it.

I sighed with a heavy heart: "Four years ago, I'm sorry."

"I actually saw it that day." She said calmly, "After I got on the tram, I was lying on the window and saw you. You turned around and stuffed the note I gave you into Brother Xiu's hand. Li——I understood at that time that you had already made up your mind to deceive me, not contact me, and not be friends with me from the very beginning. I didn’t understand why you did that at that time. Which of my actions made you feel disgusted, so you wanted to play tricks on me like that... I felt angry, wronged and embarrassed. I felt that I was betrayed by a good friend who I had just met but had already fallen in love with. I was I thought, it turned out that it was just me unilaterally thinking that we were connected, and I was being sentimental. So I remembered that day for a long time."

Ah...it really hurt her...

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but breathe softly.

But she laughed to herself again, holding her head up as if it didn't matter, and said in a teasing tone, "So Ruri, you are such a bad boy - ah, by the way, I haven't received the textbook yet, so you can talk to me first Do you want to watch it together?"

This topic took such a sudden turn that I almost fainted.

I was stunned for a while before I realized what I was doing. I pushed my math textbook halfway towards the old man's desk with shaking hands, and said tremblingly, "Please, please."

She blinked her eyes and her attitude was particularly friendly: "Oh, Ruri, what's wrong with you? I don't eat people, why are you so afraid of me?"

What a wonderful hell Shura field this is.

I'm about to cry.

Finally, when the class was over, the gossiping classmates immediately surrounded them from three floors inside and three outside. After they asked about information such as Sera living in a hotel, coming from the United States, and being a detective, they were moved by Sera. After sensually gathering information about the high school detective Kudo Shinichi in the class, their topic finally turned to me.

"Speaking of which, have Sera-san and Ruri-san known each other before? I saw you in class just now. You seemed to be very familiar with each other."

Sera smiled and hugged my stiff shoulders: "We know you. I was deceived by Ruri in the past."

"Eh? You cheated on your feelings!?" The classmate was shocked, "Serayo-san... are you kidding me?"

Seriang lamented: "At that time, I thought she liked me as much as I liked her, but her kindness to me was not because she also liked me the same way... After she rejected me, I was sad for a long time."

The classmates were quiet for a moment, and they all looked at me accusingly.

I was on pins and needles: "Hey... no, wait a minute, do you believe it now?"

The students discussed quietly.

"As for Ruri-san...it does feel like something she would do..."

"Yes, she always rejects confessions very simply. Although she is usually very talkative and gentle, she doesn't seem like she would reject others."

"Ruri-san is really gentle! Although being gentle is good, it can easily be misunderstood. I once thought that she was interested in me when she helped me pick up my stationery..."

"Ah, I remembered that when Morita-san confessed his love to her in public before, she also rejected it directly in public, didn't she? She really didn't give him any face."

Sera leaned into my ear and whispered, "So you are like this."

"Too close..." I rubbed the ear that was itched by her blow, pushed her head away, and looked at her helplessly, "Are you taking revenge on me?"

She admitted generously, "Yes."

"Would this make you happier?"

She laughed and affirmed again, "Yes." Then, there was a hint of provocation in that bright smile, "So, how are you going to get back at this situation?"

"...Why should I overturn this situation?" I reached out and pinched her soft cheek, and lowered my voice, "If doing this will make you happier, then that's fine."

After all, I was the one who cheated on her.

She blinked and was stunned for a while.

Then she curled her lips and complained, "It's boring." Then she raised her voice to the classmates, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I was joking just now. Ruri and I are just good friends who we met before, and there is no strange relationship. La."

On the way home from school that day, the conversation between Xiaolan and Yuanzi continued to revolve around her.

First, Xiaolan exclaimed: "Séliang is so popular!"

"Yes." Sonoko agreed, "She is cheerful and straightforward, a little boyish and cute, and she is also a female detective who knows Jeet Kune Do... By the way, Ruri, have you known her before? Are you friends?"

I answered uncertainly: "Well, it's not a friend, right? We probably just met her once when we were kids...?"

"Why is it a question?"

"Hahaha," I laughed and scratched my head, "Probably, although I really want to be friends with her, and she seems to act like we are good friends... But I'm not sure whether that's what she really thinks. La……"

"Huh?" Sonoko raised an eyebrow, "Is it a Ruri-style tongue twister?"

Xiaolan smiled and said: "It's Ruri-style entanglement."

"So Ruri is as clumsy as ever." Sonoko touched her chin, "The relationship with Teacher Judy seemed to be the same before. Are you not good at getting close to the people you like?"

I objected: "That's not the case, is it?"

"Isn't it?" Yuanzi's eyes became sharp, "You are always inexplicably worried about whether you are already disliked by the other party, even though you have actually done nothing. Don't you think your mentality is strange? "

"Eh? I think Sonoko's analysis makes sense..." Xiaolan looked at me with a bit of worry in her eyes. She touched her chin in thought, "Ruri, are you actually very inferior?"

"Oh," I retorted with a headache, "there is no such thing...!"

I feel like I was almost convinced by both of them.

Think about it, although I do have a reason for being disliked by the other party, but I can't tell my two little sisters, but I do, because I am afraid that I am already disliked, I will get close to them. Doing so may be an eyesore to them. Not happy, but choose to actively alienate.

Xiaolan thoughtfully brought the topic back: "Well, speaking of which, Serang is so popular probably because neutral girls are more popular now, right?"

"But she is flat-chested," Sonoko smirked, "That's the only flaw."

Seriang trotted up from behind us: "Oh! I'm so sorry! I'm flat-chested!" She gestured to her chest with a bright smile, "But my mother's breasts are big, so I thought After a while, this place should also grow up!”

As Ran and Sonoko blushed and echoed in embarrassment, "Maybe," Sera looked at me with a smile and said, "I don't hate you, Ruri!"

So I became embarrassed along with my two sisters: "How much have you heard..."

She smiled "hehe" and did not answer my question. She asked Xiaolan about Conan's information again, "By the way, I heard that the kid named Conan lives in your house, classmate Maori. Is it true? Can I get there?" Do you want to go play at your house?"

I took my leave in good time.

Sera turned around and invited me: "Ruri, do you want to go to Moori-san's house to play too?"

"No," I refused firmly, "I still want to have dinner."

He knew with his feet that something would happen if he got close to Conan-san.

At this time, Seriang still couldn't understand what my words meant.
