Tsk…

She just knew...

Hoshino Aoi snorted secretly in her heart, without showing a trace of surprise on her face.

But Edogawa Conan couldn't help it.

He said "Huh?" and turned his little head back and forth, looking left and right at the two of them.

Mao Lilan was also a little surprised.

Although she was the first one to start teasing, she just thought that they were familiar with each other and did not expect that they would date.

After all, just a few weeks ago, Solana was still chasing after Dr. Akai, but she's dating someone else so soon?

Mao Lilan thought in disbelief, and at the same time, her eyes widened a little.

"Boyfriend...boyfriend?!"

Her voice was slightly higher than usual, but no one present showed any surprise. Subaru Okiya even placed his hand on Solana's shoulder with a calm expression, narrowing his eyes and saying to them:

"Yes, after spending some time together, I found that I seemed to like Miss Solana. Miss Solana also had some feelings for me, so we decided to give it a try, right? Dear Nana?"

As he spoke, he used a little force with his fingers and pinched Hoshino Aoi's shoulder inconspicuously. While speaking, he tilted his head to the side, as if signaling her to say a few words as well.

Aoi Hoshino glanced at him sideways, and the desire to play a prank began to stir in her heart.

If she said something wrong now, would Shuichi Akai be beaten up by Judy, who was already looking at him as if he were a kidnapper?

curious.

Want to see.

But then, surely Judy would have snatched her from the jaws of the wolf she thought she was?

Hoshino Aoi sighed secretly in her heart.

After all, the main subsequent plots are focused on the two Bourbon suspects, Subaru Okiya and Toru Amuro. In addition, the first confrontation between Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai after the main storyline begins takes place at the Kudo residence. Aoi Hoshino must be crazy to follow Judy to live in her house.

So even if she was eager to stir up trouble in her heart, she had to suppress her heart on the surface and nodded in agreement with Subaru Okiya's words:

"That's right, but Subaru-san also knows that I just ended a secret crush..."

Having said this, she paused for a moment, as if remembering that her pursuit was far from being a secret crush, so her eyebrows curved, and then she continued under the indescribable gazes of the others:

"Well, anyway, Subaru-san knew that I had a crush on someone before, so we decided to try to get along first. As for other things... we'll talk about it later."

Hoshino Aoi didn't say whether they were dating or not, but to others, it was obvious that she agreed.

"Is this the relationship between adults..." It's too fast...

Mao Lilan couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

Thinking back on how she had been secretly in love with Kudo Shinichi for so many years, the two of them had been teased by their classmates for a long time, but until he dropped out of school to investigate the case, neither of them had really broken the window paper. Compare that to Solana and Subaru Okiya, who were able to date after only knowing each other for a few days.

Mao Lilan was surprised and felt a little complicated.

Judy didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, compared to some people in most countries in Asia, people in Europe and the United States are generally more open about relationships.

Especially since they are both adults.

Isn't it normal to date someone when they're attracted to each other and break up when the feelings are gone?

If they weren't in Japan—a country where codenamed members of the Black Organization frequently appeared, and where they even speculated that it was likely the Black Organization's headquarters...

If Judy hadn't received a call from Rena Mizunashi, saying that the organization had dispatched an intelligence expert named Bourbon...

Judy wouldn't even care who she was dating.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

The reality is that they are investigating the Black Organization in this country which is suspected to be its headquarters, and just after they received the news, a strange man appeared next to Solana and Shirley.

How could this not make her wary?

"So, what Mr. Okiya said just now was a little wrong."

Judy's eyes were hidden behind her black-framed glasses. The light reflected from the lenses made it difficult to see her expression. All one could hear was her drawn-out, somewhat meaningful voice saying:

"If we're just trying it out, we can't be considered a couple, right?"

"Eh? Is that so?"

Mao Lilan was a little confused.

After all, in her opinion, isn't it all the same?

Trying to date each other, doesn't that mean agreeing to become each other's boyfriend?

But Teacher Judy is a teacher after all, and an adult, so she should understand adults' thoughts better, right?

Mao Lilan thought a little uncertainly.

Judy also frowned, trying to deceive the love novice in front of her:

"Of course. After all, if you really like someone, wouldn't you just accept their advances? Why bother saying 'let's give it a try'?"

The meaning of "give it a try" is obviously that you are indifferent to the person in front of you. Although you don't hate him, you don't like him that much either. It's just that you have been bored recently, and it happens that someone is pursuing you, so with the mentality of not refusing, not taking the initiative, and not taking responsibility, you casually say "give it a try".
