lost to yellow ball

In a blink of an eye, the school season has passed, and the weather in May in Kanagawa is gradually getting hotter. Kuri Kushima gave up the stockings and replaced them with clothes that are more suitable for the weather.

The perennial hair started to get in the way, but fortunately, there was a light rain today, dispelling the smell of summer in the air.

In the case of the news agency before, Chino Miyamoto was expelled for violating the regulations.

And Orihara Lin has not appeared again for the time being, which makes Ji Li very satisfied.

During this period of time, apart from occasional incidents, Seiichi Yukimura came to Class B almost every day to find someone. The students in the class were a little surprised at the beginning, but later they started to feel numb.Everyone in high school was much calmer than in junior high school, at least there were no strange words passed to Ji Li, at most, the girls occasionally used her name when chatting and teasing.

When Kobayashi Nanako chatted with her, she no longer called Yukimura by messy code names.

"In the evening..." Ji Li bit his chopsticks and thought for a while, confirming that he had no plans for the evening, he said, "I'll ask Dr. Ali to take care of Conan for me. It just so happened that he recently took a relative's child to live at home. , the two children are still in the same class and can be a companion."

Faced with her boyfriend's invitation, she happily decided Conan's fate soon.

Yukimura Seiichi is very interested in the elementary school student that Ji Li said is determined to be a detective, and he does not panic at the scene of the crime.

"Hasn't he moved back to Detective Maori's house yet? He said before that his parents should be entrusted to Mr. Maori."

Every day in the newspaper, you can see "Sleeping Kogoro", which makes Yukimura still have a good impression of the Maori detective. "It must have something to do with how he likes cases so often at the scene of the crime with the Maori detective."

Kuri Kushima, who knows Kogoro Mori's nature well, said: "...This," a subtle expression appeared on her face, but she still didn't want to destroy the 'sleeping Kogoro' in Yukimura's heart, "Uncle Mori has been very active recently, but there are also The troublemakers gave him the title of 'Reaper', saying that wherever he goes, there will be cases."

She was very puzzled by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's practice of kneeling down to Kudo Shinichi's uncle Mouri. In her opinion, the police had to rely on a detective to solve the case, which was a bit of a slap in the face.

"Conan did tell me that he would move back to the office after a while, and it should be this week." Jiri Jiudao spread his hands helplessly: "After all, I always take care of him, and I don't allow him to always follow him. New contact."

Yukimura smiled lightly when he heard Kiri say that.

He is a person who loves to laugh and is suitable for laughing. Whenever the corner of his mouth is curved, it makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Ji Li is also caring about Conan-kun in his own way, he will understand."

Seeing that Ji Li didn't seem to want to continue this topic, Yukimura Seichi changed the topic without a trace.

The lunch break at noon was not too short, and the two of them still talked until the last time to return to the classroom before parting reluctantly.

The study tasks of senior three students who are going to continue their studies are still relatively heavy. What worries the tennis club most now is not the training situation of the members, but the matter of a few individuals who are still failing in high school.Sanada has a bad temper and has already started to make a move, but Yukimura stops him.

"If it really doesn't work, we have to choose another one from the third grade."

Kirihara Chi, who lowered his head and was close to the wall, pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

Liu Lian'er flipped through the notebook, "Actually, there is a good seedling in the first grade, let him try."

Kirihara Chiya immediately raised his head with his eyes wide open, "Minister, are you going to replace me?!"

How is he worse than that first grader!

"It's not that the minister wants to replace you, but that the school doesn't allow you to compete." Liu Lianji followed Yukimura's words, "Although Lihai University doesn't need to participate in the qualifiers, the Kanto competition is only two months away I heard that you skipped tuition and went to the game hall yesterday?"

"Oh?" Seiichi Yukimura looked over with interest.

Kirihara Akaya: ...

The moment he lowered his head, he raised it again, and defended himself, saying: "That teacher is too much..." Although he had the courage to raise his head, his voice became more and more serious after seeing Genichiro Sanada's eyes staring at him. small until it disappears.

"If you fail the final exam in two months, someone else will replace you in the Kanto Competition."

Genichiro Sanada took the final decision.

Kili Kushima took a sip of tea, looked at Akaya Kirihara sitting in front of her, and at Seiichi Yukimura and Renji Yanagi sitting next to her: "So, that's why you asked me to come here?"

She was still thinking about why Yukimura asked her to come out of school today, and specifically asked her to bring textbooks, so it was for this reason.

This is a family-style restaurant with a semi-enclosed suite that can accommodate 5-6 people.In addition to their own homework, Yukimura and Yanagi also tutor Marui Bunta by the way.

And Kirihara Chiya asked her to try teaching.

"Hello, Senior Nine Islands."

Kirihara Akaya had already been greeted before coming again, and at this time he called someone honestly, "Please help me with my English tutoring!" After saying this, he answered as if to add, "If it is possible And mathematics and chemistry."

Jiri Kushima: ...

She gestured to Yukimura with her eyes, is what he said true?

Yukimura Seiichi nodded.

it is true.

Seeing that Kili Kushima didn't speak, and kept looking at his minister, Akari Kirihara wondered if she remembered the time he fell on her a month ago.

Then he has no chance?

Jiri Kushima no longer remembered what happened a month ago, she took a look at the report card about Chiya Kirihara and the records of weaknesses in various subjects that Liu Renji handed over.

Okay, now she knows why Yukimura has to come back late every time he gives tutoring to the members.

The culprit turned out to be here.

"Kirihara...student, isn't it?" Kujima thought for a moment, and asked him, "Do you really want to learn English well and work in related fields in the future, or do you just want to cope with the exam and be able to do daily work?"

"Just let me participate in the competition!"

Kirihara Chi also answered quickly.

"Then just pass it," Kushima Kuri probably knew what to do, and after flipping through a few sets of papers that Kirihara had done before, he pulled people aside and started teaching.

Liu Lianer: "I didn't expect Ji Li to be willing to teach Chiye."

He also thought that it was impossible to take the last resort.Of course, the ultimate means are some shady ones. If possible, they also hope that Chi can pass by his own ability, instead of using some... inappropriate methods.

It's just that their teaching methods don't seem to suit Chi. Whether it's intimidation or temptation, there will always be situations where they start banging their heads on the table after learning Chi.

Ji Li's grades have been very good, so he proposed to give it a try.

Maybe girls' teaching methods are a little more delicate than theirs, and Chi can also learn it.

Looking at Kirihara's unstoppable nodding, it seems to be useful?

Marui Fumta looked sympathetically at Akaya Kirihara, who was one-on-one. His grades were not too bad. He said that tutoring was actually having two "teachers" who could help answer questions during the learning process, and the pressure was not great.

The second-year course was not too difficult, and Kuri Kushima occasionally turned his head to talk to Yukimura, handing each other food and so on.

"I want ice cream."

Kushima Jiri didn't move, but glanced at Yukimura.

Yukimura Seiichi put down his pen and stood up, "Wait for me."

Akaya Kirihara who was watching: ...

He looked at the papers piled up on his desk, and then looked at the piece of Kujima Kili, all of which were bought by Yukimura from time to time.

He also wants to have a boyfriend.

Bah, it's a girlfriend.

Of course, if you want a minister like this, Senior Nine Islands is good-looking, but it's too much trouble.

Just when Kirihara Chiya was in a daze, Kushima Kuri's slender and fair fingers tapped on his test paper, "Kirhara-san, pay attention."

Yukimura Seichi, who had already bought the ice cream, handed the cone to Ji Li, and answered gently: "Akaya, as a thank you gift from Ji Li for coming to help, if you don't study hard, she can reasonably ask Renji Made some changes to your training list."

Kirihara Akaya:? ? ?

He suddenly lowered his head, picked up the pen and started to work on the questions.

Changing the training list is of course a joke, but it still has a certain deterrent effect on Kirihara Chiya, as you can tell from the way he doesn't even raise his head now.

Because the counselee started to do the paper, Ji Li was free, "Seiichi, have you finished?" She looked at the homework spread out in front of Yukimura Seiichi, her handwriting was neat and tidy.

"Well, I'm waiting for Mrs. Wen."

Ji Li's homework had already been done at school when Yukimura's work was over. She was playing with the phone with one hand, and with the other hand, she was playing with Yukimura's fingers under the cover of the table.

She hadn't updated her social account for a few days, and many people asked her when she would post the match again.

At that time, I made this account, one was to exercise my clothes, and the other was to record some of my daily life. Although I would post some outfit recommendations every once in a while, I never promised time.

So she logged in, posted a photo of herself holding hands with Yukimura, and then logged off.

There is nothing to satisfy the consciousness of fans.

At the same time, Yukimura Seiichi's cell phone rang.

He glanced at the reminder message on Twitter.

"Who is it?"

Kili Kushima asked casually.

"advertisement mail."

"Oh."

Ji Li, who lost interest, let go of her boyfriend's hand, poked her head towards Kirihara Chiya, and she almost choked to death, "Isn't this the last question I'll tell you? After 10 minutes, you can do it wrong? "

Kirihara Chi also looked up in confusion.

"what?"

Jiri Kushima suddenly began to doubt his teaching level: ...

With a headache, she began to re-tell Kirihara in a different way, and after confirming again and again that he would meet, she dared not look away, but stared at him as he began to work on the problem.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Seiichi Yukimura turned on his phone and followed the notification to enter.

When I saw the picture, my face was a little happy, and I clicked to save it.

Liu Lian'er glanced at the same message from his mobile phone, and then at the two people sitting opposite him.

……

What's going on when you suddenly want to get up and leave?He pressed his impatient foot, and focused on Marui Bunta who was sitting next to him with question marks and irritability on his face.

Kirihara Chiya's tutoring went very smoothly, because his own club activities were easy, Ji Li simply gave Kirihara Chiya a two-week emergency learning special training.

On the second day after the exam in mid-May, the results were issued one after another. Chiya Kirihara's English still did not reach the passing line, but it was much better than single-digit scores. At least there are qualified hope.And several other unqualified courses, all entered the pass.

When he stood in front of the grade bulletin board, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"No, is this what I got out of the exam?"

He immediately ran to the third grade classroom to share the news with Kili Kushima.

"Senior Nine Islands, I have passed! I have passed! I have passed!"

This sentence was repeated three times in a row, and it seemed that he was indeed extremely excited.

Kili Kushima, who was discussing with Nanako Kobayashi just now, could only look at Nanako apologetically, then turned her head and said to Chiya Kirihara gently: "That's very good, this is the result of your hard work. English is also qualified ?"

Kirihara Chi also scratched his hair, "No English." But he was still very happy, and the English teacher even praised him for his great progress, "I couldn't learn it no matter how Senior Liu taught me before, I thought my life was over. "He even has a feeling of complacency now, it seems that it is not his problem whether he can learn it!"

Kili Kushima poured cold water on him.

"It's just taking the exam, it's not that you really learned English."

"It doesn't matter! I just need to pass the exam!" Kirihara Chi also waved his hand. In the future, he is not planning to go to higher education, but to develop a career. This is a long-established goal.

"Do you like tennis that much?" Kushima Jiri couldn't help asking.

Yukimura also mentioned to her about playing professionally, but she didn't express her support at that time, she just said that if he wanted to, he would do it.

"I like it." Kirihara Chi also said as a matter of course: "If I don't play tennis one day, I will feel uncomfortable all over."

He sat carelessly on the empty seat next to Jiri Jiudao, "The Kanto Contest is about to start, as long as I pass all the monthly exams next month, I can participate! Where did that first-year boy come from?" Jump back wherever you want, heh heh heh."

He originally thought that Vice Minister Sanada was joking, just to put pressure on him.

As a result, the menu was really adjusted for that first-grade kid the next day!

hateful.

Fortunately, I did well in the monthly exam this month, and I have to tell the minister later...

Kirihara Chiya's thoughts suddenly wandered into the sky, and Ji Li called out several times before waking him up.

"It's almost the end of class, you still not going back to the second grade?"

"Oh, ok." Kirihara Chi also stood up quickly, "Senior Jiudao, are you still tutoring today?" He was awkward, obviously wanting to relax.

"I have something to do today, you can move around freely."

Jiri Kushima waved his hand, "Hurry up and go back to class."

Kirihara Chi also responded happily, "Goodbye, senior!"

Nanako Kobayashi watched the whole process: "Does Ji Li know everyone in the tennis club now?"

She remembered that Kirihara Chi didn't know Ji Li before.

"Well, more or less." Kushima Jiri thought about it for a while, "Actually, I already knew those who were selected, but Kirihara was in the second grade, and I only met them last month."

Because of Akaya Kirihara's interruption, the two of them had temporarily shelved the topic of going to higher education, and started this lesson.

After entering the third year of high school, Ji Li was no longer in the same class as Liu Lian'er, but was assigned to a different class.

This makes Kushima Jili a bit regretful, because he can no longer rely on Liu, a mobile library, to meet the script requirements of stage plays.This year, she can only get the corresponding credits by acting in characters. Last year, she was not caught acting as the director of the drama. This year, the Haiyuan Festival will not let her go.

The Kaihara Festival is an annual cultural festival jointly held by Lihai University, middle school, high school and university departments.

Among them, the stage play of the higher department has always been a highlight.

The Haiyuan Festival is different from the Ice Emperor's cultural festival. It is held in September, which happens to be the end of the national competition.

At that time, the tennis club headed by Yukimura will also have an exhibition match.

"...There is no need to rehearse the play for September, right?"

Kuri Kushima, who was blocked after school, looked at the director of the drama club, Nakagawa Li, a third-year student, and said helplessly.

"No, this year is our last year in the higher education department. This drama is a two-hour special edition that I specially applied for. There must be no mistakes!" Nakagawa Li shook the application document in his hand, "This is the school and the student union. Do you want to see the application approved by both parties?"

"Two hours? What about other grades?"

Under normal circumstances, the stage play of the school cultural festival will not take too long, otherwise other grades also have performances, and their time will be compressed.Normally it is 40 minutes to 60 minutes, and you can apply for two hours... What kind of script is this?

Kili Kushima couldn't help asking: "Could it be an award-winning script?"

She remembered that the drama club of the higher department had indeed always been one of Lihai University's ace clubs.

Nakagawa Li said proudly: "Of course, this is a special award for the Juvenile Literature Award. You are the heroine I selected. If you don't participate this time, you will lose all credits for this year!"

Jiri Kushima: ...

Didn't he escape Cinderella's script last year? As for holding grudges like this.

"I will participate, I will participate. But today I have something to do, so I can't stay, can I do it tomorrow?" Ji Li surrendered with both hands.

Nakagawa Li: "Just as long as you agree, remember to come to the rehearsal every Friday from now on."

After finally escaping from Minister Zhongchuan, Ji Li heaved a sigh of relief.

She had already greeted Yukimura at noon, and she would not wait for him today, so she walked directly to the station.

Today is the day when Conan moves back to the detective agency, so she has to send it off no matter what.

When she returned to Kudo's house, Mao Lilan had just recovered.

"Long time no see, Mori-san." Ji Li opened the door for her and greeted her, "Conan has already packed his things." "Jiu Dao-san, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have changed a lot. "Except for Mao Lilan getting a little taller, there is almost no change in other places, and it is still the same as before.

Suzuki Sonoko came with her, and she also said with a surprised face: "Really, I can't see the way it used to be at all."

She asked enthusiastically, "Is it because of the hairstyle?"

Kujima still likes Sonoko Suzuki very much, and said with a smile: "There may be a part of the reason. When I tied up my hair a few days ago, I still felt that there was no change from before when I looked in the mirror."

Suzuki Sonoko stroked the ends of her hair thoughtfully.

Does she want to have long hair?

Conan, who had already packed his things, came out obediently: "Sister Yuanzi, Sister Lan."

"Kenan-kun, haven't you caused trouble to Kudao-san these days?" Mao Lilan knelt down and stroked Conan's hair.

Kudo Jiri said: "Conan is quite sensible, but Kudo Shinichi always likes to tell him things. After you take it back, you must watch it carefully, and you can't let him listen to Shinichi's words and run around. What kind of case? Spotted."

Mao Lilan froze for a moment, hesitated to speak, and finally replied: "Okay, I will."

"Sister Ji Li, is it really okay for you to be alone?"

Edogawa Conan, who was being held by Mao Lilan, looked up at Ji Li and asked again and again.

Kili Kushima knelt down helplessly, looked straight at Conan and said, "Of course there will be no problem, so don't worry Conan. If there is any problem, I will definitely call your brother Shinichi as soon as possible, is that okay?"

I don't know why this child mysteriously believes in Kudo Shinichi, even though no one knows where he is in Japan, he still insists on Ji Li contacting him to ensure his safety.

To be honest... Although she was entangled by a strange person some time ago, it has been resolved now, and her life has gradually returned to daily calm, and there will be no more twists and turns.

And Shinichi Kudo, the god of death who really walked in her heart, was not by her side, so it couldn't be safer.

Mao Lilan said, "Well, Classmate Jiu Dao."

What she didn't say because of hesitation just now, she still asked: "Do you know where Xinyi ran off to?"

Regarding this point, she didn't have any clues, but Kudo Shinichi was very strict about this point.

Kudao Jiri shook her head at her, "He won't tell me, if I knew, I would definitely tell you." Out of comfort to the only girl in the world who may have fallen in love with Kudo Shinichi, she went on Said: "You have to believe in Xinyi, he is the kind of person who can always save himself from danger, how could something happen to him."

"Put more expectations and trust in him."

Mao Lilan is really a gentle girl. When she came to pick up Conan, she not only brought a lot of Ji Li's favorite food, but also helped clean up the house with Suzuki Sonoko before leaving.At the same time, Suzuki Sonoko invited her to attend her birthday party at her home on weekends, and she agreed because of the friendship she had known since she was a child.

After the only person left in this house was Jiri Kushima, she sat on the sofa, the living room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be clearly heard in the overly empty living room.Looking at the black TV in front of her, she suddenly felt a little lonely.

Since she was a child, the memories in this house are all with Kudo Shinichi.

Some time ago, I was accompanied by Conan, who looked very similar to Xinxiao, and I didn't feel anything.

I used to find him annoying when we were together every day, but now that I'm free all of a sudden, I'm starting to miss the noisy days of the two of them.

It would be nice if Yukimura would be by her side.

Kushima Jiri sighed inwardly.
