Chapter 2301 2313 [Grayfield Ai: No]
When Suzuki Sonoko heard Jiang Xia mention those "rehearsals", her face turned pale.
If I remember correctly, for this play, she specially invited many people with drama experience and found a suitable stage for rehearsal. And her efforts did pay off in the end - she harvested countless murder experiences and corpses.
As for their level of drama?
…There has been great progress in terms of fear and screaming, but otherwise, there has been no progress at all.
Painful memories flashed through her mind. Suzuki Sonoko held her head and slumped over the table in dejection: "Is our class drama cursed?"
Jiang Xia picked up the coffee and took a sip, his eyes fell on Conan next to him: "..." If you insist, it is not impossible.
Conan was oblivious to the stares from his classmates. He threw a piece of cookie into his mouth and chewed it, saying, "The world is a scientific one. There is no such illusory thing as a curse. Rather than this, you should reflect on your level of making friends. Next time, why not find a few simple-minded people who don't make enemies with others and are not hated by others?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang on his head.
After Suzuki Sonoko hit the man, she withdrew her hand in a happy mood, then confiscated Conan's biscuits and dragged them in front of Jiang Xia: "Little brat, who are you teaching?"
Conan: “…#”
The angry elementary school student wanted to refute, but when he saw Mao Lilan sitting next to him, he didn't dare to say a word.
And compared to what has happened in the past, Conan is now more concerned about something else.
He took a sip of juice and asked nonchalantly, "So, how is your play being rehearsed now?"
The topic returned to the starting point.
Suzuki Sonoko sighed: "That's it. Now that things have come to this, we can only bite the bullet. If we don't have skills, we can make up for it with feelings!"
This was not the point Conan wanted to ask. The fake elementary school student chose his words and asked again: "I heard that your male lead hasn't been decided yet?"
According to the setting, the male protagonist in the drama is a faceless hero, and there is a scene where the hero saves the heroine, Mao Lilan.
According to the script that Conan secretly saw, the two of them will hug each other affectionately during this process.
Suzuki Sonoko rubbed her forehead with a headache. "The male lead has a lot of cool fighting scenes, and none of the boys in our class are at this level. The only guy who has some martial arts skills actually said that he was afraid that Xiaolan would be too nervous after going on stage and break his arm. He also has an important competition recently, so he rejected us..."
She became more and more angry as she spoke, and slammed her fist on the table: "What does that guy think of a cute high school girl? Xiaolan has practiced karate, but she is not a scary gorilla. She obviously knows her limits!"
Mao Lilan smiled embarrassedly: "..." To be honest, she was afraid that she would be nervous and unable to control her energy on stage, so when she heard that classmate refused, she actually breathed a sigh of relief.
But in this case, the male lead of the drama has indeed become a problem.
Suzuki Sonoko held her chin up as she flipped through her script: "Actually, I wanted to ask Jiang Xia to play the role, but he didn't have time to rehearse, so now it's been Doctor Shinde who has been guest-starring in this role - anyway, this character doesn't show his face, so it's no problem to let the teacher guest-star on stage. Doctor Shinde is handsome, has a good figure, and has a good temper, so our Xiaolan won't suffer any loss!"
Mao Lilan blushed and quickly corrected: "This is just acting, it has nothing to do with whether you suffer a loss or not!"
...But I have to admit that Dr. Shinde is indeed a very charming person.
When Mao Lilan thought of the gentle school doctor and his indescribable closeness towards her, her heart began to beat faster for some unknown reason.
Next to him, the observant Conan: "???"
"No!" The fake elementary school student raised her hand in protest. "Teitan Junior High School's stage play is supposed to be performed by students, right? Letting teachers go on stage would be cheating, which is inappropriate!"
Suzuki Sonoko suppressed her well-reasoned rebuttal with a punch: "Elementary school students should not interfere in high school students' affairs. Let's do it this way!"
Conan: “…”
…
Jiang Xia watched the show happily, but it was regrettable that Kudo had too much self-control and did not show any murderous intent at all. He really lacked the potential that a Beika citizen should have.
However, although Conan did not have the intention to kill, he obviously did not give up.
"Doctor!" At dinner time, Conan did not eat at Mori's house, but sneaked to Dr. Agasa's house a few streets away.
When Huiyuan Ai brought a plate of freshly fried shrimps to Jiang Xia, she saw an old fake elementary school student throwing a tantrum at the omnipotent black technology grandfather: "Make me a stand-in robot, one that can act in a drama! Oh, and the arms must be strong, so they can't be easily broken by others."
Dr. Agasa: “…”
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
The fake elementary school student from the Black Organization pressed his forehead and whispered to Jiang Xia: "...It's really embarrassing to have someone like you."
Dr. Agasa has watched Conan grow up, so he has adapted well to this. While Haibara Ai wasn't paying attention, he leisurely stole some fried food from Jiang Xia's plate and chewed it, laughing: "If I could make a robot like that, I would have become a billionaire and traveled around the world."
Conan thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he turned his gaze to the other side.
—— Huihara Ai.
If I remember correctly, this genius scientist who escaped from the organization was the person who was responsible for the development of Aptx4869. Conan strongly suspected that she actually had an antidote, or at least a temporary antidote.
And if he could use the temporary antidote to temporarily turn back into Kudo Shinichi, he would be able to perform in that stage play. He has already memorized the script thoroughly these days and can act right away!
The words "Haibara, give me the antidote!" were already on the tip of Conan's tongue.
But when he saw Jiang Xia next to Haibara Ai, he swallowed his words silently.
——Calm down. Innocent classmates are still here. We can’t talk about the organization’s affairs in person now.
Conan took a deep breath, and in order to prevent the famous detective from being disturbed by the evil organization, he forced himself to resist the urge to chase after Haibara Ai for the antidote.
Huihara Ai, who had already noticed his burning gaze, said: "..."
After a moment of silence, Huihara Ai moved her small stool and quietly moved closer to Jiang Xia: Fortunately, Jiang Xia came to dinner tonight, otherwise she could have imagined that Edogawa would chase her for the antidote just like he chased the doctor for the robot just now.
She had indeed made a temporary antidote, but she had already made an agreement with the Anonymous that she would not give the antidote to anyone other than the Anonymous. Although the Anonymous did not say it explicitly, Haibara Ai always had a hunch that the "someone other than the Anonymous" specifically referred to Conan. After all, she didn't know the other unlucky guys who had been shrunk by the drug.
