The next few days.

With her outgoing and friendly personality, Sera Masumi successfully befriended Ran and Sonoko, thus gaining initial access to the "small group" centered around Hanyu Nana.

This made all the male students in the class, who hadn't had time to adjust their mindset or think about how to get along with this "handsome" female classmate, extremely regretful.

I wish I could travel back to the day the transfer student made his debut, and slap myself a few times—you judged me by my appearance! You made me sigh and complain!

Although Sera Masumi looks like a boy, she is still a girl! In the current situation where there are too many students and not enough spots in the class, and the "headmaster" has monopolized the best resources, it is such a rare thing to have another cute girl.

As a result, he was "absorbed" by Yuzuru Hanyu's side!

The group of boys could only huddle together for warmth, shedding tears of envy, jealousy, and hatred, and silently writing down Yuzuru's "crimes" in their little notebooks.

.........

At noon, on the rooftop

At lunchtime, a gentle breeze blew across the rooftop, offering a wide and open view.

It's the perfect place to slack off and gossip.

Sonoko has finally met a kindred spirit. The two girls, both with outgoing personalities, make a lively and chattering meal together.

Sera Masumi didn't act like an outsider at all. She put a piece of fried chicken in one bento box and took a bite of tamagoyaki in another. She ate with gusto, her mouth full of oil, and she was so happy that she almost cried.

It's so delicious!

She and her mother had such a hard life in London! They ate either dry sandwiches or greasy fast food. Her mother's cooking was only good for "edible" and "poison-free." She had never eaten such a delicate and delicious home-cooked meal.

This is simply heaven!

Especially after tasting the dessert—small cakes and cookies meticulously made by Natsumi Kosaka using the "Gourmet Cell Baking Oven"—Sera Masumi felt as if her soul was being elevated.

I almost couldn't resist the urge to "defect" on the spot, clinging to Yuzuru Nan's leg and begging to be taken care of, just for a bite to eat.

What's an organization anyway? Does it smell as good as a cake?

Yuzuru Hanyu leisurely leaned on the railing, enjoying the breeze, and chatted with Aoko, who was far away in Ekoda, on his mobile phone.

That's just how capricious Detective Conan's timeline is.

The main theme is doing whatever you want.

Just a few days ago, we were having tense final exams, and the classroom was filled with a panicked atmosphere like "the end of the world for academic underachievers." Logically, we should have started winter break after the exams, but before we knew it, it was summer.

The sun is shining brightly, and I'm wearing short sleeves.

This means that Aoko's mother's promise to let her stay at the villa for a few days if her grades improved is destined to be postponed indefinitely.

The most amazing thing is that everyone involved, including Aoko herself, thought it was perfectly reasonable and were completely unaware that the timeline had been twisted into a pretzel.

Of course, it's also possible that I'll wake up tomorrow and find myself on winter break. After all, in the world of Detective Conan, anything is possible.

While stuffing her mouth with delicious cake, Sera Masumi secretly observed with her detective eyes. Taking advantage of Ran, Sonoko, and Momiji's happy conversation, she quietly approached Hanyu Nanasu, who was leaning on the railing.

Then, she carefully tiptoed and craned her neck, trying to peek at the contents of Yuzuru's phone screen, hoping to see who he was chatting with and perhaps find some clues.

Just as her gaze was about to fall on the screen—

The screen went black with a "snap".

Yuzuru smiled and turned to look at Sera Masumi, who was standing close by in an awkward posture. His tone was gentle: "Sera-san, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Huh? Haha, no, nothing!"

Caught red-handed, Sera Masumi quickly scratched her head and laughed it off, her brain racing as she found a topic, "I'm just a little curious... Yuzuru-kun, you have so many... uh, excellent girlfriends,"

She pointed to the three beautiful girls chatting over there, "So what type of girl do you like the most? Is it someone like Ran who is gentle yet capable? Someone like Sonoko who is lively and cheerful? Or someone like Momiji who is elegant and dignified?"

She tried to use this question to cover up her spying and, incidentally, to gather intelligence.

Yuzuru tilted his head and gave a standard answer:

"Hmm... This is a difficult question to answer. Ran's gentleness, Sonoko's liveliness, and Momiji's elegance are all unique charms. If I had to choose, I would like them all."

Sera Masumi: "..."

This answer was watertight, as if it said nothing at all.

Why don't you just say you like any beautiful woman?

Undeterred, she decided to take the initiative.

She puffed out her almost non-existent chest and hinted, "Well... besides people like them? Like... someone like me... the handsome and cute type?"

My mom said that for a qualified secret agent, some necessary sacrifices are worthwhile in order to achieve their goals.

Seduction... oh no, I mean...

Charisma is also a tactic!

Most importantly, the boy in front of her was indeed good-looking and skilled, and she actually had a good impression of him. It was a kind of inexplicable, inexplicable, and inexplicable good impression, similar to "this person is very interesting and I want to get to know him better."

If Mary Akai, a seasoned ace agent, were here, she would immediately become alert to this sudden and inexplicable affection, analyze whether it was a psychological suggestion or an emotional trap from the enemy, and quickly nip this dangerous trend in the bud.

But Sera Masumi was still too young and had not experienced the harsh realities of society, so she lacked the necessary caution against this kind of "affection".

Hmm... Also, she might be a little too confident in her "cool and cute" image.

Yuzuru looked her up and down, thought for a moment, and then gave a specific answer: "Hmm... I also like blonde hair, blue eyes, and big waves."

Sera Masumi's eyes lit up instantly.

That's exactly what she was waiting for; she wanted specific standards!

"Blonde hair, blue eyes, and big wavy hair?"

Sera Masumi immediately pulled out her phone, her fingers flying across the photo album, a "you've come to the right person" look on her face. "What a coincidence! It's my sister! A true blonde with blue eyes!"

Without hesitation, she sold out her own mother, opened a photo, and handed it to Yuzuru Nan.

The photo shows Akai Mary, now a blonde, blue-eyed little girl. Although she is young, her slightly curly blonde hair and blue eyes certainly meet the standard of "blonde hair and blue eyes." As for "big waves"... it's not clear yet, but she definitely has the potential.
