"It's not the feathers, I mean, in my eyes, you're cuter than a rabbit."
Realizing Kousuke's true intentions, Ai let out a nonchalant "Heh~", then turned her gaze to the little rabbit and gave a smile.
It was as if she was laughing because the rabbit was cute.
But the real reason...
Just then, Ai's smile suddenly froze.
She subconsciously got up and looked around.
Seeing her suddenly become so nervous, Guangyou immediately got up and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
"What's wrong?" he asked Ai.
"I feel like someone is watching me," Ai explained, stepping behind Kousuke and gripping his sleeve tightly with one hand.
At this moment, she was like a frightened little rabbit, cautiously observing her surroundings.
"Staring at you?"
Upon hearing this, Guangyou shielded her behind his back with one hand, tensing all his muscles as he carefully observed the surroundings for possible hiding places.
Although he didn't notice anything unusual or have any other feelings, he still took Ai's words seriously and prepared accordingly.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a man with messy hair and wearing a black coat walk up to them and say:
"Excuse me, are you Shiho?"
"Akami Miyano's younger sister..."
"I never expected to see you in a place like this, it's quite a surprise."
Upon seeing the man reveal his true identity upon meeting her, Ai gripped Kousuke's sleeve even tighter, a hint of panic showing in her icy blue eyes.
Guangyou was also very surprised by this, but he did not launch an attack. Instead, he observed the man in front of him.
No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see any connection between the man in front of him and that organization.
Moreover, all the core members of that organization, except for Vermouth, were wiped out.
In theory, Ai's identity cannot be exposed.
But this man in front of me...
Could it be that the organization has another base and a group of people that no one else knows about?
Dark area?
"Um, Uncle, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?" Guangyou was ready to make his move, probing the other party with a questioning tone.
At that moment, a woman's voice came from not far behind the man.
"Murata! What are you doing?"
Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced behind the man and noticed there were two other people.
One man and one woman.
The man is well-trained and has a good physique; the woman has an average figure, doesn't look like a bad person, and is the type that's easy to approach.
"Excuse me, what brings you to the elementary school?"
"They're not here for tutoring, are they?"
While joking, Guangyou was prepared. He was certain that if the person in front of him showed any sign of making a move, he would see the sky in the next second.
Seeing the misunderstanding, the man quickly waved his hand and explained:
"I'm not here for tutoring; I have other business to attend to."
Glancing at the animal pens behind him, Kōyū continued jokingly:
"So you're here to take care of the small animals?"
Deep down, he felt that the other person wasn't part of the organization, but he didn't know how to explain that the other person knew Ai's real name.
At that moment, Kobayashi Sumiko's voice came through:
"You guys are already here? Why didn't you contact me first?"
"?" Guangyou frowned, his mind filled with doubt.
Do these people know Sumiko Kobayashi?
However, in any case, the possibility that these people are remnants of the organization has been greatly reduced.
He whispered to Ai, who was hiding behind him:
"Ai, don't panic. It shouldn't be those people, and I'm here."
"Mmm." Ai responded, but her hand still gripped her sleeve.
At the same time, Kōyū's gaze shifted between Sumiko Kobayashi and the three mysterious figures.
A possibility quietly emerged in his mind, connecting with another matter.
Once Kobayashi Sumiko had come a little closer, Kōyū asked:
"Ms. Kobayashi, these people wouldn't happen to be the guests you mentioned, would they?"
"A student who graduated from Teitan Elementary School?"
The former is easy to guess, while the latter is his deduction.
The reasons are as follows:
First, these people don't look very old, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
We can rule out the possibility that the person is a parent or a student previously taught by Sumiko Kobayashi.
Secondly, Kobayashi Sumiko is a hard worker. Since she is entertaining guests at school today, she wouldn't have made plans to go out with her friends, let alone meet them at school.
Third, Teitan Elementary School is not a tourist attraction and has no amusement rides.
If these people had no connection with Teitan Elementary School, they wouldn't have chosen this location.
Fourth, these people don't look like wealthy people, and even if it's a business matter, they wouldn't contact an ordinary teacher like Kobayashi Sumiko.
Summarize:
They are not parents, not friends of Kobayashi Sumiko, and have no connection with this school.
Aside from the possibility that he was a student at Teitan Elementary School, he couldn't think of a second possibility for the time being.
"yes."
Even though Kobayashi Sumiko already knew that Kousuke was smart, she was still somewhat surprised by this.
She explained:
"They are indeed students who graduated from here."
"I'm here today for a class reunion."
When Kobayashi Sumiko finally learned the answer, Kōsuke immediately understood.
Why does the other person know Akemi Miyano? Why do they know Ai Haibara's real name?
And why did Akemi arrange to meet them here?
So Akemi was once a student at Teitan Elementary School?
Although Japan is a small island nation, it's not so small that it only has one Teitan Elementary School!
