[Conan] I really have a backstage

With the end of the murder case, the trip to the hot springs finally ended in the afternoon of the second day.The daytime that was originally planned to play was used to catch up on sleep. Everyone was not very happy, but due to the schedule, they had to embark on the return journey.

No one noticed that Riho and Toru Amuro came back later, so they just did what they were supposed to do without any unnecessary explanations.

Everything was normal, except that Riho noticed that Conan looked at her a little strangely today.

Curiosity in the defense, and a little bit of... contempt in the curiosity? ?

It's okay to be on guard, after all, she lost the wrong vest in front of Conan before, but what the hell is this contempt?

[Where did I provoke this young master today? 】

Riho asked herself a question silently in her heart, but she didn't think about answering herself, because the next moment, Conan abandoned his sister Lan in a rare way, and squeezed into Riho's seat one step ahead of Sonoko.

"Hey, I also want to ask a little about sister Riho's life abroad, can I sit with sister Riho today?"

Conan's big eyes fluttered, his tone was sweet and cute, and he successfully won Yuanzi's iron fist.

"Smelly brat, you sat on it and asked me if I could. This kind of cutting first and playing later is really embarrassing." After speaking, Yuanzi rubbed his wrists, and went to sit next to Lan.

And here, Riho looked at Conan who was sitting next to him with a smirk, and felt that this one-way journey must not be that simple.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The first question Conan threw was like a small bomb, blowing Riho into a daze.

"Sister Riho, I've always wanted to ask you a question..." Conan faltered, and then asked shyly and curiously with what he considered the best acting skills, "Are you and Brother Amuro a couple?"

"Eh... eh??? Why do you ask?"

"Because Amuro-san seems to be very special to Riho-san, and last night, Riho-san and Amuro-san came back together a little later... Mom and Dad said that if a boy and a girl come back late together, it will be very good It might be a couple!"

"..."

What kind of parents tell their sons in the first grade this kind of thing!

In fact, if Riho had known Conan earlier, she might have gotten used to Conan's nonsense with his eyes open, but she has only been in contact with Conan for a short time now, and this is the first time that she has had a one-on-one chat for a long time. shocked.

She has always known that Conan is a cute existence as soon as he pretends. He thinks that his disguise is impeccable, but he is full of flaws. Only innocent high school girls like Lan and Yuanzi can barely be fooled.

But when she got closer to him, she realized that this child should be grateful to Gin for not being responsible for such things.

If Gin was allowed to observe Moori Kogoro secretly for a few days, and then observe him for a few more days, it would be a good thing to be targeted, and it is estimated that even losing his head would be a matter of minutes.

Riho kept slandering in his heart, and on the surface he had to respond to Conan's questions one after another.

Her answer could neither reveal her relationship with Amuro Toru nor her own identity, while still exploring the true identity of the child.

——This child is definitely not what he appears to be, there is no doubt about it.

"Well, yes..." Riho yawned, and answered Conan's last question without any leaks. Seeing Conan's disappointed expression, he thought for a while, and opened his mouth again, leaving a sentence in Conan's ear .

[The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows... Guess who is the cicada, and who is the mantis and the oriole? 】

Leaving Conan alone in place deeply doubting himself.

Although it is true that Conan is the smartest elementary school student she has ever seen—of course, how old he is now, he strongly doubts whether he is an elementary school student—but now he is playing with her, a person who has received professional training and has a backstage, it is obviously still a little bit worse.

Seeing Conan's tangled face, Riho happily got out of the car, greeted everyone and returned to his apartment.

Thus, the strange cases, the trip to the hot springs where I met Toru Amuro, Conan's doubts, and those occasional small and small feelings, all ended in the gentle night wind this weekend.

Starting tomorrow, business as usual.

...That's what Riho thought was going on as usual, but in fact, the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny.

"Hey, Jingu-san, Riho-san, Xiaoriho~~You just agree~"

At this moment, Liang Muqiu was begging in front of Riho with his hands clasped together. It had been a whole morning, and as soon as class break came, he turned around like this, showing his presence in front of Riho.

"No."

“啊啊啊啊啊啊第八次冷漠的拒绝了！！！我要记录下来这艰辛的一刻，等到神宫同学你答应的时候，我就要用它来向全班同学见证，我为班级How much honor has paid!"

"..."

Riho thought to himself, there is no need to record, because you will not have the moment to witness.

As soon as she stepped into the classroom this morning, some classmates in the class said to her, "Come on! Jingu-san", "You are the best!" A series of unfounded words, when she sat down in a daze, Liang Muqiu at the front desk turned his head and explained everything to her proactively.

【Next month is the school celebration. Every class has to act in a play. The heroine of our class's play is a blue-eyed and black-haired mixed-race beauty. I think you can do it, Jingu-san!I took over this task for you!Please forgive me! 】

In response, Jingu politely gave Aki Ryogi a fist.

She couldn't show her face in front of too many people. In addition to the public event of the school celebration, there was also an unknown member of the black organization in the school. She had to keep a low profile until she needed to reveal her identity.

In the end, this kid was lucky, and he took the initiative to accept the good job of the heroine of the school celebration drama.Thinking of this, Riho felt that he should teach this kid a lesson.

After an unsatisfactory lunch time, Riho closed the bento box—by the way, this bento box was placed on the window sill by Mr. Conch this morning—and gave Aki Yoshiaki the last punch, and then Leave the classroom and take a break after lunch as usual.

The tree behind the laboratory building has always been Riho's base. In addition, the black crow from the school was found here last time, and Riho even hides here, trying to meet the next opportunity.

It's just that since that time, Riho has never met that person again, and her afternoon rest time is also very comfortable and peaceful.

It is also at noon today.

After autumn, the weather began to turn cold, but today is a rare warm noon, the sun hits the tree with all its strength, the leaves can block the sun but not the temperature, Riho is lying comfortably on the trunk, ready to have a comfortable time lunch break.

When she was in a daze, she heard a voice under the tree.

"Hello? I said don't call me at school... Brother, brother, I'm sorry! I thought it was... a school celebration? Okay, I get it."

After a very short conversation, Riho still woke up in a jerk, and the voice confirmed that it was the man. When Riho looked down carefully, a tall and thin figure in a black suit left in a hurry.

She was not in a hurry to catch up, and since the last time she had installed a small camera on the branch.

The rest was interrupted like this, and she no longer had the intention to sleep, so she had to jump back to the laboratory building and return to the classroom the same way.

Just at this moment, Riho's cell phone rang.

"Hey?"

"Autumn, it's me."

The male voice on the phone was gentle and calm. Riho narrowed her eyes. Since she came to Tokyo, she hadn't received a call from them for a while.

"...team leader."

"Well, how have you been recently? In the old place."

"Very good. I have been trying my best not to show up. I may have gained some additional information by the way. I will report to the team leader after I confirm it."

That would have to wait until Toru Amuro took out the contents of the calling card, Riho thought to himself.

"Very good, but from now on Qiu can start acting."

Riho's hand holding the phone paused, even with her voice, it was easy for the person on the other end of the phone to feel her surprise-the action time was faster than expected.

"Team leader...?"

"Well, yes, you guessed it right." The corner of the man's mouth curled up in Europe, his eyes were covered by the reflection of the glasses, but the cold demeanor was still not covered up.

He held a photo in his hand. In the photo, the boy's face was smiling brightly in the sun. This kind of friendly smile was thrown out of the window by the man's hand in the next second, and was blown into the distance with the high-level wind.

"The plan begins."
