Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"Huh, it's Nekatsuka-san? I thought it would be Yamada Taro who escorted her."

Yi Dahang muttered a little in surprise, and suddenly heard the other two people around him whispering.

"Gin is here too?"

"Takagi Ken too... Could it be that Sakurai is planning to organize people to use force to intimidate that person?"

"Anyway, her identity will probably be exposed today."

"Well, it looks like we need to prepare for battle."

Yi Dahang turned around and glanced at the faces of his two companions, then said with a smile, "Too serious. Pay attention to your facial expressions and be careful not to alert the enemy."

The muscles on Furuya Rei's face relaxed instantly, and he smiled again: "Yes, the squad leader is right."

Yi Dahang said distressedly: "I say, we have graduated for such a long time, can you please stop calling me class monitor? It's really embarrassing."

Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled and said, "Okay, squad leader."

Fūya Ling nodded: "I understand, squad leader."

"Hey, you two guys!"

"...Huh, guess what I found under the seat?"

Yi Dahang's heart moved.

While no one was noticing him, Yi Dahang pretended to have dropped something and leaned over to look under the chair.

Pulling back the lace cover on the chair, Ida Hang saw a gun taped to the back of the seat.

Yi Dahang straightened up: "I have this too."

"I guess there should be some under the chairs here."

"No wonder those people from TSE looked so clean. That's why."

"...Do you want to search for the flower decorations around you again?"

"……No way."

"No, I've already touched the one next to me, and it does have something hidden inside."

"Ha, there must be some heavy weapons under those flowers on the wall, right?"

"At least 80% of what the TSE guys have on hand is true."

"Hey, squad leader, after Yamada set up the scene, he should have asked the Investigation Section to check it out, right? Didn't they find anything?"

"...Well, Takagi and Sato are newcomers and lack experience. And maybe Yamada put everything in after they left?"

"Hey, you two stop chatting and look at Matsuda's expression."

Hearing Morobushi Kagemitsu's reminder, Furuya Rei and Date Kou turned their heads at the same time, and saw that Matsuda Jinpei, who was originally in a very relaxed state, had involuntarily stood up straight as Nekatsuka and Sakurai approached step by step, and the relaxed smirk on his face became a little stiff.

"Pfft!"

Furiya Rei burst out laughing: "See, I told you, this guy Matsuda has definitely played himself into trouble."

Yi Dahang sighed: "It seems that he has also realized that the identity of the groom is not something to joke about. The wedding is fake, but the responsibility and weight that this title represents are real."

Furuya Rei sneered: "Alright, then let him be responsible for Sakurai."

Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly said in a low voice: "Don't be ridiculous, it's not because of any name or anything."

He looked straight at the person walking slowly in a wedding dress in the middle of the flower path and sighed softly, "Maybe it's because of Sakurai's expression."

Sakurai's expression?

Because the three of them were sitting very close to the podium, Nekozuka and Sakurai Izumi happened to walk very close to them.

Although Sakurai was wearing a veil, they could still clearly see the expression on her face at this moment.

No calculation, no joking, no regrets.

Sakurai didn't even glance in their direction, but just focused on looking at Jinpei Matsuda in front of him and smiled.

That smile was filled with tranquility, peace and tolerance that they had never seen on Sakurai's face before.

Obviously, Jinpei Matsuda became stiff because he saw Sakurai's expression clearly and sensed a strong sense of incongruity.

what happened?

Is this still the Sakurai they know?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Fūya Rei's mind, and he himself couldn't believe it.

He turned to look at Zhufu Jingguang and said hesitantly: "... Could it be that she rejected you and Hagiwara last time because both of you... were not the ones she expected?"

Date Kou: "...Impossible? You are more likely than Matsuda!"

Furuya Rei: "...Huh? Who just said that Sakurai and Matsuda have similar personalities?"

"Well, I mean..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed and interrupted the argument between the two people: "As long as she can survive, anyone will do."

Jianggu Ling:......

Date Kou: ...

Neither of them spoke.

Furiya Rei turned his head and his eyes quickly passed over Gin.

But he felt that things might not be as simple as a matter of life or death.

Sakurai must be hiding something from them, and Gin probably knows about it.

The last time Gin came back with Hagiwara and Sakurai, Sakurai rejected Keimitsu and specifically asked for Gin's help, most likely to separate Gin from the five of them.

Maybe it was just a trick to prevent Gin from accidentally leaking information.

Besides, have Jingguang and the others forgotten?

Sakurai herself said that she is not the real Sakurai, she is from 2023.

Rei Furuya once said that he never believed in the so-called "coming from the future" or "coming from another world".

He firmly believed that Sakurai must have created a second personality for himself that could solve the problem.

However, after Jingguang broke the coercive force that he suspected was imposed on him by "Him", Furuya Rei's thinking changed completely.

He once carefully reviewed all the events related to Sakurai Izumi since he met her.

It is obvious that Sakurai's personality has undergone a huge change, and the time point was the incident when Sakurai suddenly "went crazy and banged his head against the wall".

This was something that Furutani Rei suddenly realized after he saw the so-called "singularity".

Sakurai came at that time, and was suddenly brought to their world by the white light called singularity, and it seemed very likely that he was forced.

She was chasing the white light, hoping to go back to where she was supposed to be, but failed.

Since no one could see what was in her eyes, it was only natural that Sakurai Izumi was considered a lunatic by all of them.

In fact, she is not crazy, but the blind people are too ignorant and take it for granted.

It was not until he was certain that there were unnatural beings in this world that Rei Furuya realized this more clearly.

It turns out that these indigenous people are the ones who know nothing about this world!

Although we don't know why Sakurai was brought to this world, it is certain that Sakurai has never recognized their world from the beginning to the end, so she is destined to leave.

I just can't be sure when and how.

Maybe even death is just a means they cannot understand?

After all, Sakurai himself is an unreasonable existence.

So, you mean to let Sakurai live?

...Kagemitsu and Hagiwara will definitely be disappointed in the end.

Not to mention the five of them, including Gin, no one in this world can keep her.

She would definitely leave, after what she called the decisive battle.

As for why Sakurai doesn't just speak out his thoughts clearly?

Perhaps it was because she herself could not be sure whether the result of her efforts was success or true death...

Let’s get back to the question.

So why did Sakurai look at Jinpei Matsuda so intently and calmly?

...Is that person really Sakurai?
