Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

"Go to the ranch? No, Xiaoguang, we have to go to the new house to clean today." Mao Lilan said seriously on the phone.

"...cleaning? Again?" Nagai Hikaru looked at Conan, who was still eating fried eggs at the table, in shock. "I remember we just cleaned him, right? Just... two, three, four, five months ago?"

"You've known this for a long time. Mr. Okiya is alone in such a big house, let's do a thorough cleaning together." Ran Mouri, who had just returned home from training, was full of fighting spirit.

Nagai Hikaru whimpered a little: "Can I fall asleep like last time?"

"What are you talking about? Conan just said that you slept well last night and woke up early in the morning."

Nagai Hikaru glared at Conan, who was at a loss, trying hard to recall what was wrong with his eating posture that had offended the young lady.

After dragging Conan to Kudo's house on a motorcycle, Mao Lilan gave Nagai Hikaru the easiest job, which was to sweep the dust on the bookshelf with a duster together with Suzuki Sonoko.

Nagai Mitsuru looked at Conan being sent to wipe the floor with a rag, and he felt a lot more balanced.

Subaru Okiya smiled as he brought a bucket for changing water and thanked Mao Lilan for bringing her friends to help with the cleaning: "This house is really too big, and there are many places that I don't use, so they will gradually accumulate dust."

Is he secretly saying that he didn't use it, so of course he didn't clean it? Nagai Hikaru glanced at Okiya Subaru and thought he was a real tease.

Suzuki Sonoko smiled and said, "Actually, I think it's a good opportunity for us to meet each other. It's rare that Xiaoguang has been in Mihua these days. By the way, Xiaoguang, how are you doing with your guitar lessons?"

"I think you've learned well. You can now play Kikujiro's Summer perfectly." Nagai Mitsuru said with a smile.

Conan turned his face away slightly and sighed. He had listened to Nagai Mitsuru playing the piece a few times at home, but he could only listen to the first 30 seconds, and the rhythm was completely messed up after that.

"Speaking of guitar." Suzuki Sonoko held up her face and recalled, "Xiao Guang, do you remember Portuludo? The rock singer."

"Ah, that guitar player is pretty good? I've been listening to his songs in the last few days. Brother Toru recommended it to me, saying that he plays a pretty good guitar." Nagai Hikaru waved the duster, "He's going to have a concert soon, right? Do you want to go?"

"He recently released a new song. The title has been published online. It's called ASACA, but the "ka" in Asaka is not KA but CA. It was said to have been written 17 years ago, but was only published now."

"So?" Nagai Hikaru was bewildered. "What does this have to do with it? Isn't it the creator's personal habits and when he wants to publish his work his own business?"

Conan put down the rag and ran to Suzuki Sonoko: "Why? Why is it CA and not KA? Sister Sonoko, do you know?"

"If you want to know, you can ask me. I'll take you to watch the concert rehearsal." Suzuki Sonoko said with a smile, "Xiao Guang specially learned guitar, maybe he can get some pointers."

Okiya Subaru also came over: "If it's convenient, can I also go to observe the rehearsal of that concert?"

"Are you going too?"

"I'm a big fan of Botu, right? By the way, when was the title of the new song announced on the Internet?"

Nagai Hikaru sneered: "Boto's fans don't pay attention to Boto's new song."

"Since I've been a fan for many years, I haven't paid attention to your recent updates. Nagai-san is always mean to me. Are you trying to get my attention?" Okiya Subaru turned his head and got close to Nagai Hikaru's face and smiled at him.

Nagai Hikaru picked up the duster and slapped Okiya Subaru on the face: "Sweep the skin on your face, it's too thick and a bit eye-catching."

Subaru Okiya held the wooden handle of the duster and pushed it slightly open, then looked at Suzuki Sonoko with a smile: "Will the title of that song be released soon?"

"Yes, last week." Suzuki Sonoko's expression was mixed with inexplicable entanglement, "It was even on the top of the online news."

Conan frowned and stroked his chin in thought. Suzuki Sonoko turned to face Mao Lilan and lowered her voice: "It's not right. The smiling graduate student and the young lady are the type of bickering lovers. The young lady didn't like them at first and then..."

"Sonoko..." Mao Lilan smiled and pressed Suzuki Sonoko's cheeks with both hands, and laughed softly, "Xiao Guang has been matched with several people by you, it's almost the same."

"Xiaolan, your smile is so scary." Suzuki Sonoko broke out in a cold sweat.

.

"Ah, we can't go in for rehearsal? No way?" Suzuki Sonoko said in surprise in the concert hall.

"I'm really sorry. Actually, the lyrics of that new song haven't even been completed yet. He said he wanted to write the lyrics on the stage while looking at the empty audience seats. He was left alone for two hours." Hattori's agent is a bespectacled woman named Enjo Kanae.

"Does this kind of thing happen often?" Mao Lilan asked with a little curiosity.

"Occasionally."

The few people continued their conversation.

Nagai Hikaru stood at the back with his guitar on his back, and turned to look at Conan below: "Does the word ASACA have any special meaning?"

Conan looked into Nagai Hikaru's eyes, opened his mouth, then closed it, with a very contradictory expression on his face.

Nagai Hikaru squatted down and said, "Oh, a little secret that I can't know?"

Subaru Okiya gently lifted Nagai Hikaru's guitar bag from behind: "Be careful, the bag will rub against the ground and the bottom will get dirty."

Nagai Hikaru glanced at Okiya Subaru with disdain: "You really like to interrupt for no apparent reason."

"Okay, I'll help you carry it for a while. It's pretty heavy if you carry it for a long time, right?" Subaru Okiya took off Hikaru Nagai's guitar bag and put it on his back. Looking at Hikaru Nagai who didn't know what he was doing, he leaned over and asked with a smile, "Then do you know? ASACA?"

His face was too close, and Nagai Hikaru had nothing in his hands to block his face, so he reflexively pulled Conan next to him to block Okiya Subaru's face.

Conan screamed in shock, and Subaru Okiya straightened up at once. The two of them almost kissed each other.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran, who were watching the conversation between the agent and a newspaper reporter nearby, turned around and looked over. Conan's shout just now scared everyone.

Mao Lilan asked: "What's wrong, Conan?"

Nagai Hikaru laughed dryly and stood up: "Nothing, I just pulled him suddenly."

Conan wiped the cold sweat from his head: I almost missed my first kiss again.

"You don't need to carry this guitar, right?" A voice came, and it pulled the guitar bag from behind, and then tried to take off the guitar bag that was already on Subaru Okiya's back.

Subaru Okiya grabbed the strap of his backpack and turned around, only to see Toru Amuro grinning through gritted teeth as he said, "You scared Hikaru by getting so close just now."

Nagai Hikaru hurried over, snatched his guitar bag back and put it on his back: "I can carry it myself, no one needs help."

Suzuki Sonoko came over and said, "Mr. Amuro, you're here. Oh, Xiaoguang, it was Mr. Amuro who wanted to come and watch the rehearsal. He said that you've been practicing guitar recently, and it would be good for your studies to watch a guitar master perform."

When Nagai Hikaru was about to take back his guitar bag, Subaru Okiya loosened his grip on the bag strap and looked at Amuro Toru: "I didn't expect Mr. Amuro to be interested in ASACA as well."

"As for the new song, I mainly want Xiaoguang to listen to his rock guitar live."

The two men looked at each other, their pupils shrank slightly, and the atmosphere was subtle.

Suzuki Sonoko turned her head and bit her wrist and sleeve: "Oh no, this couple also..."

Mao Lilan sighed slightly.

Nagai Hikaru stepped back to Conan with his guitar bag on his back, picked him up and held him in his arms and asked, "Where have you seen these two before?"

Conan whispered helplessly: "Okiya went to Poirot to find me several times, and once when Amuro was at Professor Agasa's place, Okiya also came over."

"…It's actually Okiya Subaru who's chasing after Brother Toru?" Nagai Hikaru was shocked.

"No, isn't there a surveillance camera at Dr. Agasa's place? When Amuro found it, he didn't ask like you did, but directly started to dismantle it..."

Nagai Hikaru was puzzled: "Why did he come here when Brother Toru was dismantling the surveillance camera? The surveillance camera is his?"

"Ah... this, um, actually... ah, it's like this, he and Dr. Agasa installed it together." Conan laughed.

A question mark appeared on Nagai's bald head: "You have a lot of little secrets recently."

"No, by the way, Okiya just asked you about your ASACA, Hikaru, do you know it?"

"MASAKA knows something..." (Masaka means "No way, no way". It means to express surprise. Unexpected events have occurred. Just treat it as a cold joke.)

Conan had sweat dripping from his forehead: "I'm not kidding you."

Nagai Hikaru stroked his chin and recalled: "It's not the name of a wine. I've never heard of it. Is it related to something seventeen years ago?"

"Nothing, forget it if you don't know. By the way, is Rum a man?"

"Yes." Nagai Mitsuru nodded simply.

At this time, two firefighters came over and explained that they wanted to check the fire protection of the concert venue, and directly opened the door that was still being rehearsed.

Inside, Botu hangs in the center of the stage, looking dead.

Everyone was shocked.

Officer Megure arrived quickly, looked around at the people present, and said with a subtle expression: "It's you guys this time."

Takagi Wataru nodded slightly from behind and whispered, "But Conan is always there."

"So, since we always have our cell phones in our hands, does that mean Nagai is here too?" Inspector Megure made a cold joke.

Because someone had just died, it was difficult for everyone to leave, so they had to solve the mystery of the case together.

Soon Toru Amuro solved the mystery of the case and determined that Hatano committed suicide, and ASACA was the name he planned to give to his future child.

This trip was in vain, and several people walked out of the concert venue.

Amuro Toru walked a few steps to Nagai Hikaru's side: "How did you get here? On a motorcycle?"

"No, it's a bit far. It's Mr. Okiya's car that he's riding in with Xiaolan and the others." Nagai Mitsuru replied.

"Then I'll take you and Conan back home. It's getting late. What are you going to eat for dinner?"

"Today, Shuichi said he ordered a whole, rare tuna for us to take home and eat. It's a big portion. Would you like to join us, Toru?" Nagai Mitsuru said with a smile.

"Tuna? That's a big one." Subaru Okiya walked over with his hands in his pockets and stood side by side with Conan.

"Tuna? Is it sushi tonight?" Suzuki Sonoko poked her head in happily, "I want one too. Is there any for me?"

"Yeah, of course, you and Xiaolan both have it." Then Nagai Hikaru glanced at Okiya Subaru, "You won't also...?"

"Thank you for the invitation." Okiya Subaru nodded with a smile.

Nagai Mitsuru turned his head away, veins popping out on his scalp.

Conan looked up at Toru Amuro who was glaring at Okiya Subaru, and Hikaru Nagai who was obviously stomping her feet as she walked, and felt a little at a loss as to what to do.
