Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 254 New Friends

Although she didn't want to admit it, Xiao Ai still nodded and replied frankly: "Well, in addition to us, Edogawa-san is also a member of the Youth Detective Team."

"I see, as expected of the Junior Detective Team, everyone is excellent! If I need any help in the future, I'll ask you all." Thinking of the little boy wearing glasses who had been doing morning exercises with her these two mornings, Grace With a look of surprise on his face, he smiled and nodded.

"Great, let's quickly start senior sister's first commission." Hearing the other party's praise and approval, the three little ones were delighted, and immediately walked to the front of the team and said happily, "The Junior Detective Team will be here immediately Let’s take you on a tour of campus, let’s go!”

In this way, the group of people walked happily around the campus, talking and laughing along the way, and soon Grace became mingled with several children.

Seeing that he and the other party were gradually becoming familiar with each other, Mitsuhiko finally plucked up the courage to look at Grace and asked: "Sister Aihara, what is your relationship with Haibara-san? You look so similar, Haibara-san is also called Could it be that your sister is a blood-related sister?"

After hearing Mitsuhiko express the questions in their hearts, Ayumi and Genta also looked at Grace with wide eyes, looking forward to the other party's answer.

Grace couldn't help but smile when she heard this, then waved her hand and explained: "No, Xiao Ai and I are not related by blood. It's just that my adoptive mother and Xiao Ai's adoptive mother are sworn sisters, so we As sisters."

"So that's it, but you guys look really alike, just like biological sisters. This is the so-called fate!" After hearing the other party's explanation, Mitsuhiko couldn't help but sigh.

After Mitsuhiko finished asking, Ayumi asked again: "Senior Aihara, your pronunciation is a little weird. Have you been living abroad before?"

"Yes, I was born and raised in the United States, because my father is Japanese, so I also know some Japanese, but I don't speak it much, so my pronunciation is not very standard." After hearing Ayumi's question, Grace nodded slightly in approval, but when she mentioned her biological father, her face showed a trace of sadness, but she quickly covered it up with her acting skills.

Hearing this, Genta, who had not asked any questions until now, also asked out of curiosity: "So, senior, why did you suddenly come to live in Japan and transfer to our school? And the adoptive mother you just mentioned is..."

Before Genta could finish his question, his mouth was pressed by Ayumi and Mitsuhiko standing on the left and right at the same time, and he had no choice but to swallow back the unfinished words.

Seeing that Genta still had a confused expression, Mitsuhiko hurriedly leaned into his ear and whispered: "Idiot, didn't you see that Senior Grace looked sad when she mentioned her father just now? She must be because of her parents I came to Japan with my adoptive mother because they are no longer here, how could you ask such a rude question!"

After listening to Mitsuhiko's explanation, Genta finally understood the reason, and quickly apologized to Grace with a guilty expression: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Grace, I shouldn't have asked the kind of question that would make you sad..."

Grace heard this and smiled bitterly, shook her head and comforted the other party: "It's okay. My parents did unfortunately pass away due to an accident not long ago, so I followed my adoptive mother and left that sad place. But everything has passed, and I have I’m lucky enough to have a new family and meet some of your new friends.” “That’s right, Aihara-senpai is also our friend!” Hearing that Grace has considered herself a friend, the third child He immediately nodded in response with a smile on his face, and walked towards the depths of the campus with the other person surrounded.

……

"Hey, you two, listen to me. When I just went to the teacher's office, I saw the new substitute music teacher!" Yuanzi, who had just returned from the classroom, found Xiaolan and Yangzi excitedly, with a mysterious look on his face. Xi smiled and raised his eyebrows and said, "You will definitely not guess who the school invited here!"

"Yuanzi, you are serious. Since you said that we can't guess it, why do you care?" Hearing Yuanzi's mysterious words, Xiaolan said angrily, "So, who is the new teacher? Who?"

Yangzi, who knew early on that her daughter came to school to become a teacher, looked at the interaction between the two girls in front of her. She did not choose to steal Yuanzi's opportunity to show off first-hand information, but looked at the other party with a slightly curious tone. Asked: "Yes, Yuanzi, please tell us quickly, who makes you so excited?"

Seeing that her best friend was aroused by her words, Yuanzi felt satisfied and deliberately replied loudly in a voice that could be heard by the whole class: "Don't be too surprised after what I said! I didn't expect the new music teacher, It turns out to be the super star who just passed away not long ago - Miss Chrissy Wynyard!"

Hearing the explosive news from Yuanzi, the classroom exploded instantly. The students who knew Chris had incredible expressions of surprise on their faces, and then started whispering to others, and those who were not familiar with her. He joined the discussion team out of curiosity, and soon learned that the other party had an extraordinary origin.

What's more, they felt that what they heard was false and what they saw was true. They left the classroom in groups and ran towards the teacher's office, vowing to see the new teacher's true face.

Yuanzi was very satisfied with the reaction of her classmates, but the subsequent reactions of her two good friends made her feel a little abnormal. She was obviously a fan of Chrissy, but Xiaolan didn't seem to behave as she should at the moment. The excitement came, which puzzled her.

"It turns out to be Miss Chris! It's great that she can come to the school as a music teacher!" Xiaolan didn't show any expression of disbelief on her face, but she could feel the joy from her heart in her voice, " This way, Teacher Matsumoto can rest assured to recuperate in the hospital, and I hope she can recover soon and return to school."

"Yes, Miss Chris's musical attainments are quite good. Not only has she appeared in many large-scale musicals, she has also released many classic records. I will definitely benefit a lot from her face-to-face guidance." Yangzi on the side said He added with a smile.

Sensing the strangeness in the two people's emotions, Yuanzi suddenly seemed to have guessed something. He came up to the two of them with a strange expression and asked in a low voice: "Hey, I said you two really don't have anything. Aren't you surprised? Could it be that you have known about this for a long time, right?"

Faced with Yuanzi's question, Xiaolan, who was somewhat thin-skinned, was too embarrassed to keep hiding it, so she could only explain with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, Yuanzi, in fact, it was Miss Chris who invited us to visit the United States last week, but I don't think so. It’s not easy to reveal her schedule casually, so I just said she was going out with Sister Xia Mei.”
