Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 116: Xiao Ai Caught the Vital Point

"Ah, what a strict teacher."

Looking at Mr. Kobayashi with a serious face, Yuantai muttered subconsciously.

"That student over there? What's your name? The teacher is speaking upstairs, and you're talking down below? Don't you take me, the teacher, seriously?"

Suddenly, a piece of chalk flew out from the podium accurately and landed on Yuantai's forehead.

Looking at Genta with a white spot on his head, Conan swallowed with some palpitations.

It feels like returning to my deadly high school life.

"However, the current Miss Kobayashi is more responsible. Otherwise, why not let her change back?"

Looking at the iron-faced and impartial teacher Kobayashi on the podium, Conan subconsciously thought: At least, in front of the iron-faced and impartial teacher Kobayashi, he doesn't have to worry about the three little ones becoming more naughty.

"Student over there, what are you thinking about while you're daydreaming?"

Suddenly, a piece of chalk flew towards Conan's forehead. Conan subconsciously turned his head and dodged the chalk.

Looking at the aggressive Kobayashi Sumiko on the podium, Conan fell silent.

"As expected, it's better for your own teacher not to be so ruthless."

Seeing that everyone was speechless under his aura, Teacher Kobayashi nodded in satisfaction. He greeted Xiao Ai outside the door:

"Haibara-san, you can come in now!"

Xiao Ai nodded silently and walked in from outside.

After writing her name on the blackboard, Teacher Kobayashi turned around and glanced at the class, frightening everyone so much that they trembled and dared not speak:

"Well, Haibara Ai is a new student who transferred to our school from another place. Everyone should get along well with her from now on!

As for your seat, Haibara-san..."

"Teacher! I, I, I! Here..."

Yuantai jumped up excitedly and wanted to say something, but under the fierce gaze of Teacher Kobayashi, he shrank his neck in embarrassment and sat back.

"Teacher, I can decide for myself!"

Seeing that Teacher Kobayashi wanted to arrange a seat for her, Xiao Ai quickly refused. Playing house with a group of elementary school students was fine, but if she really sat with elementary school students and was harassed by them all day, she really couldn't stand it!

Thinking of this, after getting Mr. Kobayashi's affirmation, she walked past him under Genta's excited eyes, went straight to Conan, and sat down directly.

"Look, I'm so nice to you! I even reserved a seat for you."

Looking at Ai sitting next to him, Conan smiled.

"Humph."

Ai rolled her eyes, not wanting to bother with the perverted detective. Leaving it specially for her? Did he really think she had never been to school?

After seeing Xiao Ai sit down, Teacher Kobayashi nodded with satisfaction:

"Like I said before, Mr. Hu Shi has resigned, so I won't be collecting homework this holiday! Also, in the first class, let's get to know each other! I'll call on everyone, and everyone introduce yourselves!"

As a new teacher, she still needs to get familiar with her future students.

Soon, as she read out the names one by one, the students stood up one by one and made some simple self-introductions.

Looking at this scene, Conan felt a little headache. He could have slacked off during class, but now, the teacher called his name and he couldn't slack off!

Normally, during class, he would activate the stealth (Musou) skill he had acquired earlier, quietly lowering his presence, then sit in his seat in a daze, or simply go to the mental space to rest (in short, sleep in class).

Anyway, he could just wait until after class or after school to practice his skills. He didn't know why, but after class, the little girls in his class, and even the ones from the next few classes, loved to hang around him.

But now, if Mr. Kobayashi called on him, he couldn't use his skills. After all, he didn't want to experience a situation where his presence in the classroom increased significantly.

However, even though he doesn't want to attract attention, retribution will still fall on him.

When others were called, they would just introduce themselves briefly and then sit down with Mr. Kobayashi saying "I understand" on his face. However, it was different when it was his turn.

"Edogawa Conan?"

"Teacher, it's me!"

When Mr. Kobayashi called his name, Conan stood up and followed the example of the students before him. When he was about to make a simple self-introduction, he was interrupted by Mr. Kobayashi:

"You are Edogawa-san! The teacher knows! Remember to hand in your holiday homework to me after class so I can check it!"

"?!"

Hearing this, Conan was shocked! Could it be that even if he changed teachers, his dark history would still be passed down?

Sure enough, the next sentence from Mr. Kobayashi completely broke his defense:

"When Teacher Hu Shi handed over the work to me, he specifically mentioned a few children. The others were just a little bit naughty or had other problems, but you don't like to do your homework?

You didn't hand in your homework twice in a row during the holidays. Even after being assigned a chaperone the first time, there was no improvement! Anyway, Teacher Hu Shi specifically told me to keep a close eye on you. Don't make this mistake again!

"I see."

Conan's face turned red, and he knew without looking that Ai beside him must have had her face flushed red too!

As expected, just as he thought, when he sat down, he saw Xiao Ai's red face and teasing eyes:

"Great Detective, you're a high school student! How could you not even finish your elementary school homework?"

'It's not my fault! It's the world's fault!'

Facing Xiao Ai's teasing gaze, Conan returned her look in anger.

"Yeah, I know, our great detective will never make a mistake! By the way, does Xiaolan know about this?"

"What do you want to do!"

"It's nothing, but if you don't want me to tell Xiaolan about this, you know~"

Looking at Ai's eyes and recalling the luxury book she had been reading recently, Conan seemed to see his little money growing wings and flying away from him.

'I see......'

With a dark face, Conan had no choice but to agree to give her a generous hush money. But at this moment, Conan suddenly thought of something:

"That's not right. Why should I feel bad?"

Don't forget, all the money he's using now is Yusaku's card! So, even if someone feels bad, it should be Yusaku who feels bad!

Thinking of this, Conan's expression instantly returned to normal, his heart was no longer panicked, his hands were no longer shaking, and he looked back at Ai with confidence:

"If you want anything else, just ask! I'm not short of money!"
