Chapter 173: Performance
Conan finally left the hospital a few days later, and what the doctor said were cold symptoms had already surfaced on him, which caused Conan to have to appear in front of everyone wearing a mask all day.
However, it is clear that Conan's friends don't care about this, although they regret that their fellow partner Gray Yuan Wai has temporarily taken sick leave due to illness, but they are sincerely happy about Conan's recovery.
On the other hand, Mao Lilan, who has been quite worried about the past few days, is continuing the preparation activities for the garden party of Teidan High School with Yuanzi, and although Kotoko Iwanaga looks helpless, she still participates in their rehearsal throughout the process.
Of course...... Even though many people, including Kotoko Iwanaga, suggested that the script be revised, Sonoko was not able to make up her mind to revise this love epic, which in her opinion was comparable to the story of Romeo and Juliet......
"Hey! Xiaolan, I said what's going on with you lately, why are you so concerned about that kid named Conan, you don't even care about the script so much......"
As the garden shook the script in his hand, he yelled at Maoriran dissatisfied, looking puzzled.
"And even for such an important garden party event, I didn't see you invite Kudo Shinichi to come......"
I said...... You shouldn't empathize and fall in love with that stinky little ghost, right? ”
Mao Lilan showed a little crying and laughing expression, and was a little shy about the outrageous speech of the garden.
"What's that? Don't talk nonsense! ”
Mao Lilan thought about the things that happened some time ago, as well as the speculations in his heart, and he was a little disappointed and a little happy.
Although his feelings are still loyal, in another sense, he seems to really like Conan.
After all......
Mao Lilan raised her face slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.
"Anyway, you'll understand later!"
"Really, it's such a mysterious ......"
Yuan Zi complained, as if because the activity was too huge, involving the old wound on her hand, she touched the bandage wrapped around her hand.
"But it's a pity, I sprained my hand when I was acting in a drama, so I can't play a knight and play against you......"
"It's so difficult to find an actor who can replace me, and boys in the same grade are so shy...... Although I also think they are afraid of being beaten up after your man returns. ”
Yuan Zi complained loudly, by the way, he accentuated his pronunciation on a few keywords, and glanced at the good girlfriend next to him who seemed to have signs of love.
That's not going to work! He is a loyal Xinlan party, and he must not let Xiaolan be snatched away by other bad men!
Neither can Conan!
"But the matter of the actor still has to be solved quickly...... Why don't I go to Toru Amamiya to act with you? ”
"Kotoko, that guy is going to kill us both!"
Yuan Zi looked at the script he had worked so hard to write and was a little worried, but Mao Lilan over there suddenly received a phone call at this time.
After saying hello to the garden with a slight apology, Maoliran hurried away.
On the other side, Toru Amamiya knocked on the door of the theater club classroom with Kotoko Iwanaga and walked in.
Sonoko looked at Toru Amamiya, who happened to accompany Kotoko Iwanaga to the drama club, gritted her teeth, and decided to make some great sacrifices for her script.
Isn't it that you may face a threat to the life of Kotoko Iwanaga afterwards!
I, Sonoko Suzuki, confessed.
I can't afford to give up my script halfway!
"Kotoko! Amemiya! You are here, and I have something I want to ask you for. ”
"You must help me!"
Sonoko made up her mind in her heart, and as before, she waved to Toru Amamiya and Kotoko Iwanaga with a big grin, revealing her signature hearty smile.
"Don't, I won't play the knight's ......" Toru Amamiya glanced at the large pile of props in front of the garden, looked at the wound on the garden's hand, and instantly understood the plan in the garden's heart.
"Ah...... But if you don't help, I really won't be able to find a knight anymore. ”
"Those boys in the class refuse to say anything, and I can't let go of others, if they take the opportunity to take advantage of Xiaolan, it won't be good......"
The garden was a little lost, but she quickly picked herself up and began to sort out the props.
"If I really can't do it, I'll still go out with an injury, although it may be a little inconvenient, but I can't let the script that I have worked so hard for so long go to waste!"
Toru Amamiya looked at the garden in front of him, who was cheering him up, and smiled slightly, bringing her a big piece of good news.
"In fact, the reason I can't act is because I've found a good actor for you."
"Who?"
The garden was instantly alert, she didn't worry about those messy characters approaching her own Xiaolan, as an unwavering CP fan, she had always been cautious about having women approaching Kudo Shinichi and men approaching Xiaolan.
"In fact, you know this person, and he is also very suitable for this role, but he may be a little unfamiliar with the script because of the rush of time......"
Toru Amamiya explained, leaving a slight hint of suspense for the topic, and a hint of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Sonoko sticks out her chin and poses a little pensive, Toru Amamiya once heard by chance that Sonoko occasionally falls into a coma when she encounters a case, and evolves into a copy of the sleeping Maori Kogoro, the sleeping Miss Suzuki.
Amamiya knows that it must be Conan who is playing tricks behind this, but Suzuki Sonoko, who is completely unaware of this, has always firmly believed that she has a second personality that is good at solving crimes, and this personality will only appear when he is needed in some situations.
And it is precisely because of this steadfastness that Suzuki Sonoko later became accustomed to pretending to pose as a detective in some moments of thought, in order to fit his identity as a detective Suzuki Sonoko.
And perhaps it was this action that gave her brain, who was always haunted by Mary Sue stories, a little detective aura, and she realized something in an instant.
"Are you saying Shinichi will come!"
Toru Amamiya nodded and shook the phone in his hand to confirm her guess.
"Yes! Kudo: He's coming to this garden party, and he can fill in the male protagonist that you're missing. ”
"As long as you don't dislike his lame acting skills and lack of familiarity with the script."
Suzuki Sonoko nodded hummingly, the cheerfulness on her face was even more than before, and the gloom in her heart was swept away because of the injury and the lack of the male protagonist, and it instantly turned into the excitement of CP fans.
"So are they really going to kiss then? I've been waiting for this moment for a long time! ”
"I don't know...... But I think if the atmosphere gets there, Kudo won't give up this opportunity......"
"But Kudo has a few special words, he hopes that you don't tell Mao Lilan yet, he hopes to surprise her then."
"Uh-huh! The daily interaction between young couples, I know! Sonoko Suzuki nodded obediently, looked at Moriran who had just finished answering the phone and walked in from the door with a blank face, and gave her a thumbs up happily.
"Come on! Xiaolan. ”
"The matter of the actor has been solved, and the next thing is up to your performance!"
"Oh." Mao Lilan didn't realize what had happened to make her best friend suddenly become so excited, she just subconsciously responded.
"Huh! The actor has already been solved? Who is it! ”
Mao Lilan looked at his side with suspicion, Toru Amamiya, who had just walked into this activity classroom, and then looked at Suzuki Sonoko, who was smiling and obviously ill-intentioned.
She felt as if she understood something, she had only left for a few minutes, and the only one who had walked into this classroom should be Toru Amamiya, who had not left yet.
So, did your best friend really ask Toru Amamiya for help? Isn't she really afraid that Kotoko Iwanaga will settle accounts after the fall, cut a few of them together into thin pieces, and finally distribute them to the whole school?
Moriran cautiously glanced at Kotoko Iwanaga's expression, and only after noticing that she didn't seem to have much intention before asking tentatively.
"Won't Iwanaga be jealous?"
"No, it won't!" Sonoko tried to hold back her aunt's smile, which was almost overflowing, and nodded.
-------------------------------------
The school festival of the Emperor Dan High School is very grand at first glance.,Anyway, Amamiya Toru had never experienced such a rich school activity in his previous life.。
And although the "Toru Amamiya" in this life also experienced these activities back then, the "Toru Amamiya" at that time had already fallen into the whirlpool of organization and morality, and his mind was confused, and he was always alone in school, known for his loneliness.
So at that time, he didn't participate too much in these activities, and often just watched from a distance on the rooftop alone, thinking about something that was too profound for a teenager of that age.
And now...... Toru Amamiya looked at the enthusiastic junior high school students around him, although Kotoko Iwanaga kept holding her hand from just now.
But it is clear that a phenomenon that once happened so often and has not been completely eradicated until now has reappeared.
Although Kotoko Iwanaga has a good reputation in this university, she is only a student after all, and it is inevitable that there are still many girls in other grades who do not know her
Many enthusiastic and cheerful female high school students looked tall and handsome, but also with a gentle and kind face, and they all showed the same expression as Suzuki Sonoko.
They all regard Kotoko Iwanaga, who is glued to Toru Amamiya all the time, as Toru Amamiya's sister or other relatives.
…… Anyway, it looks so small, it can't be this handsome guy's girlfriend!
With this in mind, they came forward one after another to talk to Toru Amamiya.
And after Kotoko Iwanaga swore her sovereignty over Toru Amamiya in a high-profile manner, these high school girls quickly avoided Toru Amamiya at a certain extremely academic speed and looked at him with expressions of looking at others.
…… Mistaken for a pedophile again......
Toru Amamiya looked helpless, but he didn't care too much, there are still a lot of people who know Kotoko Iwanaga in this school, as long as they explain, these strange remarks will naturally float in the air.
And when Toru Amamiya came to the hall where the performance took place, he used his friendly relationship with Sonoko Suzuki and Mao Lilan to successfully brush his face and walk backstage into the performance room.
Mao Lilan looked at the "male protagonist" Toru Amamiya, who was late but didn't feel urgent at all, with a puzzled expression.
But before she could express her doubts, Suzuki Sonoko, who was still snickering on the side, hurriedly pulled him aside.
"You'll find out in a moment!" Sonoko Suzuki said mysteriously and took Moriran to change into the costume for the show.
-------------------------------------
"Is the princess in the carriage? We were ordered to kill the princess so that we could ruin the marriage! ”
At the beginning of the performance, I don't know where I found a few high school students with a fierce and vicious attitude, who looked like suspects wearing armor and cloaks, went to the stage.
"For our empire, it would be better for your principality and our kingdom to quarrel as before!"
These male classmates, who are very good at villain interpretation, brandished the swords in their hands and slashed at the princess guards on the other side, who didn't react.
Yuan Zi hid behind the scenes, holding the script in his hand, and looked behind him with a happy face.
"Shinichi! It's the climax of the show, so hurry up and get ready to go up and stand by! ”
It's just a pity that in order to ensure the effect of the performance, the backstage is now pitch black, and nothing can be seen behind the garden, except for the slight sound of armor colliding.
On the other side of the stage, Mao Lilan, who played the princess and forcibly suppressed his desire to fight back in karate, was caught by several villains, and only hurriedly flew to visit Conan a few days ago, and then flew back to fly here with Ye again.
She waved her hand and shouted very playfully, allowing Mao Lilan to use her karate skills to beat the group of villains.
And at this moment, a knight in a black cloak and armor fell from the sky and fell to the ground, scaring off a group of villains.
They were really scared, and by the way, Maoriran......
Toru Amamiya covered his eyes helplessly.
Although Conan had read the script beforehand, the final play was not exactly according to the script.
As a novice script writer, Sonoko Suzuki certainly has many loopholes in the script she wrote, so after this script, there are actually many details to adjust.
And Shinichi Kudo, who had read the original script, and even hurriedly went on stage to act without even having time to read the original script, is of course very out of place now.
But fortunately, the actors who were carefully selected by Suzuki Sonoko to star in the script were quite dedicated, and their acting skills were also very online.
After a wave of panic in their true colors, they quickly calmly followed the basic context of the script and played freely.
"If you haven't forgotten that oath when we were young," although Mao Lilan was surprised that "Toru Amamiya" did not perform outrageously according to the script at all, but she considered that "Toru Amamiya" only joined the group in a hurry yesterday after all, and it was inevitable that she was not very familiar with the script, so she still reluctantly acted according to the original plot.
I always think it's weird...... The height of the knight in front of him doesn't look like the tall and slightly over-the-top Amamiya Toru no matter how you look at it.
This height ...... It's only about 175cm, right?
Mao Lilan roughly calculated the height of the knight in front of him in his head, and subconsciously glanced at the audience, wanting to see Kotoko Iwanaga's expression at this time.
And what surprised her even more was that she actually saw Toru Amamiya who was supposed to play the role of a knight in the audience!
So, who is this man in front of him?
The knight stood silently in front of him, Mao Lilan knew that this knight's performance, most of them didn't know his lines.
She paused for a moment in her mouth, and then glanced sideways at her best friend, Sonoko Suzuki, who was on the side of the stage.
…… When Sonoko Suzuki saw the "Knight" appear, she pulled out a huge cheering card out of nowhere and was dancing wildly.
Maolilan vaguely saw the shape of the garden's mouth, and she let herself continue.
Out of trust in his best friend, Mao Lilan endured the numbness and read the next lines.
"Please...... You write your proof on my lips. ”
Anyway, the next scene should be borrowed according to the original plan, right? Sonoko Suzuki is her best friend, she can't cheat me like this......
On the stage, the spotlight focused on the hero and heroine very sensibly, the pure princess who raised her head slightly and did not hide her shyness, and the mysterious and tall and handsome black knight, the distance between them was getting closer and closer, as if they would be close to each other in the next moment.
Yuanzi smiled at her aunt, seeing that the CP she had been a fan of for 800 years had finally sprinkled sugar again, she couldn't wait to travel back to the day she had just written the script and repeat the kissing scene a hundred and eighty times.
If you don't let Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, a little couple who are always twisting and pinching, achieve positive results, she won't be called Yuanzi!
And that's when ...... A sudden scream from the audience broke a scene that countless viewers were looking forward to.
The voice was abrupt and sharp, and even the few people who were performing on stage were affected.
Mao Lilan, who was very familiar with this similar scream, looked into the distance with vigilant eyes in an instant.
The only one present was Maori Kogoro, an old father who had been thinking about his daughter's purity, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone else was quite regretful.
The most regrettable in the hearts of the guests present is undoubtedly Toru Amamiya, Kotoko Iwanaga, and Sonoko Suzuki, who really know the true identity of the black knight.
No, maybe add a person who doesn't know what happened, but with his own identification of the human skeleton and some personal subtle habits, and most importantly, his unusual familiarity with a certain figure at the scene, he guessed the real identity of the guy at a glance.
Although he has been under the guise of using Kudo Shinichi to carry out activities under the guise of carrying out activities, no matter how he looks at it, he is the real Kudo Shinichi, right?
Good trick!
It's a pity that he misjudged a very important factor, that is, there would be a person in the organization who cares so much about Kudo Shinichi.
He even cared to study the news reports about him in his various leisure times, pay attention to his daily dynamics, and learn about him to a certain degree of shock to outsiders.
The corners of the mysterious man's mouth hooked up a smile, and he even relaxed one of his legs.
That person, whether it is his figure, the way he walks, and the half of his cheeks, are exactly the same as Kudo Shinichi......
Mao Lilan may not realize who this knight is because of the dedication and nervousness of acting, but she has always been out of the way, and she is not so easy to be hidden.
Coupled with his previous investigation and speculation, as if a certain idea in his heart was affirmed, the mysterious man leaned back in his seat relaxed, with a happy face.
She didn't seem to be flustered at all by the scream that came from the scene.
But the only regret is ...... The mysterious man thought to himself.
My dear little gentleman must have been busy for a long time for this matter, so that Kudo Shinichi can be active in his own identity again, right?
Now it was interrupted by this sudden accident.
But, thankfully, I know what you're up to!
Spritz ......
Now, I can throw everything on your head.
