I Signed-In in Tokyo

The scene before him left Kudo Shinichi speechless.

Obviously, I wanted to help Xiaolan with good intentions, but instead of making Xiaolan happy, it made Yuanzi unhappy. Who did I provoke?

But if that's all it is.

Doesn't Lynn's actions after his appearance make it even more incompetent for Shinichi Kudo?

What is this?

Especially after listening to what Lynn said——

"Although you can ask for leave, you can't miss the two-day course."

"How about this."

"The special zone competition should be over on Saturday. Let's go to my house on Sunday and hold a study meeting to help Yuanzi review the homework for the past two days."

"Xiaolan, are you okay?"

Look at them, not only did they arrange the competition clearly, but they even arranged for the study session after the competition.

Looking at Xiaolan again, instead of objecting, she nodded in agreement.

so……

That's how you plan your schedule for Sunday?

Speaking of three, have you noticed that there is still a person standing in front of you?

Lin En, Xiaolan, and Sonoko chatted and laughed, but Kudo Shinichi, who was standing in the aisle, suddenly felt a sad feeling of cold wind blowing through his heart.

He is obviously a famous high school detective who always becomes the focus of attention no matter where he goes.

But here, why do you just feel like an outsider?

no!

That does not work!

"That's right, the study meeting after class absence is indeed necessary."

Kudo Shinichi, who always felt as if he was being rejected, was biting the bullet and forced to find a topic at this moment, just to show his sense of existence.

But the problem is.

With his words out,

He was greeted by three very strange eyes.

That's right!

At this moment, Lynn, Xiaolan and Sonoko's eyes were locked on Kudo Shinichi.

There are reasons for others to say this.

But you, the big detective Kudo who has been absent from school all the year round, how dare you say that the study session after absenteeism is necessary?

When have you ever had a study session after being absent from class?

are you serious?

Being locked on by these three pairs of strange gazes made Shinichi Kudo feel even more embarrassed.

Yes.

When it comes to truancy, he definitely does his part. I'm afraid that in the entire Didan High School, there is no one who can truant more than him.

but!

Although he is absent from class, his academic performance is not bad!

Every time he takes the exam, he can also be admitted to the top ten of the class, okay!

As for making it so exaggerated?

"Then what..."

"Oh yes! Do you have time after school today?"

"Let's go shopping together."

Sweating from the brows of the three pairs of gazes, Kudo Shinichi could only change the subject forcibly in the end, and dared not bring up the matter of the study session.

But when he heard him talking about shopping, his gaze, which had been fixed on him all of a sudden, suddenly became even weirder.

shop?

Still shopping?

"Why do I always feel that... I can't meet any good things when I go shopping with you, Shinichi?"

Yes.

As soon as Kudo Shin mentioned shopping, Sonoko immediately remembered the murder case that happened while shopping not long ago.

Although it wouldn't have left her with much psychological shadow afterwards, it still made her feel very uncomfortable just thinking about it.

"Sono, don't say that..."

In fact, Xiaolan herself admitted that there are many strange things about her childhood sweetheart. When she was with him, she often encountered various cases, as if she was cursed by someone.

But after all, she has been a childhood sweetheart for so many years, and she still has a bond of affection, and she doesn't want to embarrass Kudo Shinichi too much.

Just an invitation to shop today...

"Sorry, Xinyi, the competition is about to start, and I have to go to the club to arrange tomorrow's competition."

"If you go shopping...let's stay after the competition."

Although she didn't want to reject Kudo Shinichi's kindness, Xiaolan really didn't have time to wander the streets today.

After all, the competition will officially start the day after tomorrow, and she, the chief general, needs to arrange all the matters before the competition.

So there is no way, this invitation can only be postponed.

"Forehead……"

In Kudo Shinichi's memory, he was rarely rejected by Xiaolan.

What often happens is that he breaks the appointment after encountering the case, which makes Xiaolan fly into a rage.

Being rejected for the first time, the feeling in his heart really made him hard to describe.

But at this moment, Lynn on the side suddenly spoke——

"Sorry, I can't do it here either."

"I have work arrangements here after school, and I'm going to make an appointment with a work partner."

That's right, Lynn has an appointment with Kasumigaoka-senpai's editor after school, so she certainly doesn't have time to participate in Kudo Shinichi's shopping proposal.

But the problem is.

Hearing what he said, Xiaolan's expression suddenly changed.

"Student Lin En has a job after school? Then let me go with you."

Xiaolan's thinking is very simple.

As Lynn's assistant, receiving so much salary from him, she naturally needs to do her job well.

Since Lynn has made an appointment with her partner at work, her assistant must not be absent!

Although it would result in the loss of club arrangements, in Xiaolan's mind, Lynn, who paid her salary, still took up a larger proportion.

only……

Kudo Shinichi didn't know about Xiaolan's simple thoughts.

After hearing Xiaolan's words, he was dumbfounded on the spot.

? ? ?

Why did I invite you, but you refused to go to the club to handle the competition.

Classmate Lin En only said to ask someone to meet after school, and you took the initiative to follow immediately...

You... something is wrong! ! !

"No need, Xiaolan."

"Actually, it's just Kasumigaoka-senpai's responsible editor who invited me to meet after school, it's not a particularly important job."

"In comparison, the karate department is more important. You should deal with the club's problems first."

Just when Kudo Shinichi was dumbfounded.

But Lin En shook his head slightly, rejecting Xiaolan's proposal.

After all, it's just to meet a subordinate, and it's not a big deal, so how could Xiaolan's time be wasted on this?

"That's it..."

"I see."

"Then Lin En, if you have anything to do, remember to contact me as soon as possible, and I will definitely rush there as quickly as possible!"

Seeing what Lynn said, Xiaolan didn't insist anymore.

But even so, she still repeatedly told Lin En not to forget to inform her if something happened.

"okay, I get it."

As an excellent assistant, Xiaolan does her due diligence.

Seeing this, Lynn naturally would not refuse her kindness.

Just like this, Kudo Shinichi, who saw this scene in his eyes, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

What the hell is this...!

Why do you feel... like you are a joke?

Do not!

not like this!

"Student Lin En, your after-school work... will you deal with it very late?"

Kudo Shinichi, he is definitely a man who never gives up!

Even today's repeated setbacks made him crack on the spot, and his mentality completely collapsed.

He still wants to hold on one last time!

This street...he is sure to go shopping!

"It's not too late."

"What? What does Kudo-san think?"

Seeing Kudo Shinichi's pain and hatred, Lin En was very surprised.

Whether I work late or not...does it have anything to do with you?

Or what are you going to do?

"It's okay if it's not too late!"

"I don't know why today, but I really want to go shopping."

"Please, classmate Lin En!"

"Please promise to go shopping with me!"

ha?

What's wrong with this?

Following Kudo Shinichi's ninety-degree bow.

Lynn was dumbfounded.

You just want to go shopping when you want to go shopping, why do you bow and invite me, a big man, as if we are going on a date alone.

There are so many pairs of eyes watching in the class, you are not afraid of gossip, I am so afraid of being misunderstood, okay!

"Xiao Lan, you shouldn't have dealt with it for too long in the karate club, right?"

"I'll wait for you in the karate club until the club activities are over, and then we'll meet Lynn."

"Is this okay?"

After bowing ninety degrees to Lynn, Kudo Shinichi immediately turned his gaze to Xiaolan without waiting for a response.

This time, he started to ask for Xiaolan's opinion again, but he said he was asking for an opinion, but looking at him like that, he probably wouldn't give up if he didn't agree.

so……

How much obsession does he have with shopping?

"Student Lin En..."

At this moment, Xiaolan's mood is quite complicated.

Once upon a time, she would take the reluctant Kudo Shinichi to go shopping together, and often the man ran away halfway through the shopping.

But now, she was invited by Kudo Shinichi to go shopping. Even if he refused, he still insisted.

Why... such a big change all of a sudden?

And... what should I do?

Xiaolan, who had difficulty adapting to this change in a short period of time, almost subconsciously cast her eyes on Lynn for help.

There is no way, in the past ten days, Lin En has basically been with Xiaolan day and night, and this kind of close contact with each other has already won him the greatest trust from Xiaolan.

When Xiaolan was at a loss, the first person she thought of asking for help was naturally Lynn!

but!

Kudo Shinichi didn't know what the relationship between Xiaolan and Lynn was.

In his eyes, Xiaolan's look to Lynn for help was simply asking for Lynn's opinion!

so……

Xiaolan, do you need to seek other people's opinions whether you want to go shopping with me now?

Why does it feel like in the blink of an eye, you're completely gone from my life?

Suddenly, an unspeakable feeling arose spontaneously from the bottom of Kudo Shinichi's heart.

This made him feel very uncomfortable, like a drowning person, even breathing almost stopped at this moment!

But unfortunately, no one could notice his strangeness.

Even the childhood sweetheart with whom he had the closest relationship, now, they no longer set their sights on him.

Kudo Shinichi just stood there.

It seemed that Lynn's answer was his final judgment!
