Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

She felt the warmth of Maori's embrace, as if they were the only two people left in the world, quietly immersed in this world that belonged to them.

It wasn't until the director cleared his throat that everyone came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream.

Natsue Uzumoto's face turned slightly red, and he left Maori's arms somewhat embarrassedly and bowed slightly to everyone.

"I'm sorry, I just..."

"no need to say sorry!"

The director laughed heartily, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "Ms. Xia Jiang, you are a natural heroine! Even Ms. Yukiko may not be able to fully display the emotions you express naturally!"

Kudo Yukiko also smiled and nodded: "Let me tell you, Ms. Xia Jiang actually has great potential. As long as you relax a little, you will find that acting is actually a wonderful experience."

Usamoto Natsue raised her head and looked at everyone's smiles, feeling a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. She pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Then... let me try a few more times."

Chapter 328: Xiaolan and Kazuha's Training

Ran Mao Li stood in the center of the martial arts arena, with a firm and serious look in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, tied her hair into a ponytail, and scanned the large venue.

Recently, Xiaolan often feels a little uneasy.

Ever since Dad became busier and busier, Lan felt gratified to see him shining in the spotlight, but at the same time, she also felt an inexplicable pressure in her heart.

She understood that her father was working hard to become a better actor and detective, and she felt like she was being left behind.

Her karate training gradually slacked off, and even her skills began to decline - this sense of powerlessness prevented her from sleeping peacefully.

She didn't want to be a "daughter" who could only comfort and take care of her father, but wanted to really stand by his side and be a "woman" who could protect her family and help at any time.

"He Ye, let's go practice!"

Xiaolan clenched her fists, her tone revealing a rare seriousness and determination.

"Eh? Practice?"

Yuanshan Heye opened her eyes wide, a trace of surprise appeared on her face, but soon, this energetic Kansai girl laughed and waved her hand cheerfully, "Okay, I was worried that you were too busy recently and had no time to practice, so it's a good opportunity for us to go and stretch our muscles together!"

Kazuha has been secretly observing Mao Lilan's emotions.

As a good friend of Ran, she can keenly perceive the subtle emotional fluctuations in Ran's heart - the relationship between Maori Kogoro and the increasing number of outstanding women around him makes Ran feel both proud and inferior. Although she never said it directly, He Ye understood that Ran actually hoped that she could become stronger and have a stronger sense of existence.

Of course, so is she.

If you want to have something like Uncle Maori, you have to make yourself better.

"How about we not just practice today, but have some actual combat?"

Mao Lilan posed a more intense challenge to Toyama Kazuha.

He Ye raised his eyebrows and showed an eager smile: "Come on! I just happened to learn some new moves recently. I can use the Aikido techniques to practice with you! Let's see who is better!"

Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha looked at each other and saw the burning fighting spirit and determination in each other's eyes.

The two of them changed into training clothes, tightened the black belts around their waists, and stood opposite the martial arts field.

They stared at each other for a second, then rushed towards each other without hesitation.

"drink--!"

Accompanied by a clear shout, two figures crossed in the air, fists and feet flying.

Ran Maoli's karate skills are decisive and swift. Each of her punches and kicks is carried out with great power and speed. Kazuha shows the agility and flexibility of Aikido, nimbly dodging Ran's attacks and looking for opportunities to counterattack.

"Lan, that's too straight!"

He Ye chuckled, quickly dodged Lan's straight punch, and then used an Aikido throw to gently pull Lan's wrist.

Lan was slightly startled, but she quickly adjusted her center of gravity, used her other hand to support herself on the ground, skillfully unloading He Ye's force, and suddenly pushed the ground with her feet, and made a beautiful somersault to break free from the restraints.

"not enough!"

Lan steadied himself and attacked again.

The two were like experienced opponents, neither giving in to the other, and their offense and defense transitions were as smooth as flowing water.

Hattori Heiji and Conan, who were standing aside and watching the fight, stared in amazement at the fierce fight between the two.

They originally thought that they were only here to help out today and serve as sparring partners, but they didn't expect that the girl would be so murderous as soon as she came on the field, with no intention of showing any mercy.

"This, this is too cruel..."

Hattori Heiji couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he watched Toyama Kazuha's leg sweep towards Mouri Ran's waist, but Mouri Ran dodged with a perfect sideways move and almost at the same time responded with a sharp front kick.

"Is this what they call 'cultivation'?"

Conan's eyes widened, and his small body involuntarily took a half step back, feeling secretly shocked.

Lan is usually so gentle, but I didn't expect her to be so strong when fighting, not inferior to any professional player at all.

"I say, Kudo..."

Hattori approached Conan cautiously and said in a low voice, "Let's slip away while they're not paying attention..."

"I agree."

Conan watched the competition between the two women become more and more intense, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

They thought they were going to see a gentle sparring match between the two girls, but now it almost turned into a real sword-fighting match.

Just as Conan and Hattori Heiji slowly turned around and prepared to sneak away, they saw a gentle and beautiful woman walking towards Xiaolan.

She was wearing a simple white dress, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and a faint smile on her face.

"This, this is..."

After seeing the woman, Conan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but hide behind Hattori.

"Kudo, what's going on? Did you run into your old lover?"

Hattori couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Idiot, a very troublesome woman..."

Conan poked his head out from behind the emu and explained in a low voice, "She is: my and Ran's senior eight years ago (called Uchi Nanada) Asami, now a freshman in the Faculty of Literature at Touto University. She went to Teitan Junior High School with us in junior high school, and was the manager of the soccer club and the student council president at that time."

Hattori tilted his head and looked at the girl in front of him with interest.

Her temperament is somewhat similar to Kudo Yukiko, gentle yet dignified: "Hmm? Such a gentle and beautiful senior, she doesn't look like the troublesome type."

"You don't understand, she's just too serious..."

Conan sighed helplessly, as if recalling countless experiences of being "targeted". "They've been targeting me. You know, I'm usually quite direct..."

"Ah, I understand, I understand." Hattori couldn't help but laugh, "Detectives like us are reckless when we encounter a case, so we are easily targeted by such a picky woman... Kazuha is the same."

As he spoke, he glanced at Kazuha who was sparring with Mao Li Ran on the field, and a hint of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

Recently, he vaguely felt that He Ye's attitude towards him seemed to have become a little distant, and she was no longer sticking to him like before.

On the contrary, she always stays around Kogoro Mouri and seems to be more interested in the uncle.

"But this is also good, I have more time to solve the case..."

Hattori murmured to himself, but a faint sense of loss spread in his heart.

When he and Conan were in a daze, the girl had come to Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha, and said with a smile: "Lan, long time no see."

Xiaolan and He Ye stopped sparring upon hearing the sound, turned back and were stunned for a moment, then Xiaolan called out in surprise: "Senior!"

Chapter 329: Miss Asami Uchida

Xiaolan clapped her hands in front of her and looked at the senior schoolmate in front of her - Uchida Asami - with gentle eyes.

She is tall, with long hair that flutters slightly in the breeze, and she has an elegant yet friendly temperament.

Xiaolan felt that she was the same as before, without much change, and was still the gentle and rigorous senior sister.

"Everyone, let me introduce you."

Xiaolan turned to look at Hattori Heiji and Conan, with a hint of pride in her eyes, "This is our former student council president of Teitan Junior High School, Senior Asami Uchida. She is now a first-year student in the Faculty of Literature at Touto University."

"Senior, this is Toyama Kazuha, and this is Hattori Heiji, also a very good detective."

Xiaolan then introduced, "As for this little guy, he is Conan, he is... uh, the younger brother I am taking care of now."

Uchida Asami listened to Ran's introduction, smiled and nodded at them, her voice gentle and pleasant: "Nice to meet you, Toyama-san, Hattori-san, Conan-chan. Although we just met, I have heard Ran mention you many times. I am very happy to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, Senior."

Hattori Heiji bowed slightly politely, "I've heard from Xiaolan that you were a legend in our Teitan when you were in school - you were good at academics, sports, and even literary and artistic activities."

“Ah, yes, yes…”

Conan responded somewhat reservedly.

He was no stranger to the senior schoolmate in front of him, but her slightly scrutinizing gaze made him feel a long-lost pressure.

"You're really flattering me. That's all in the past."

Uchida Asami smiled gently and turned her gaze to Xiaolan, with a gentle and sincere expression on her face, "Xiaolan, I came to you this time to invite you to my birthday party."

"Eh? Senior's birthday party?!"

When Xiaolan heard this, a bright smile instantly broke out on her face, "Senior, that's great! How can I not go to your birthday party? I will definitely attend!"

"But how did you know I was here?"

Xiaolan suddenly remembered something and asked with some confusion.

"Actually, I went to the Maori Office at first, but I didn't see you."

Uchida Asami smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, "I was thinking that Xiaolan might have gone to the martial arts arena for training, so I came here to give it a try, and I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Senior sister...as expected, she is still so amazing..."

Xiaolan touched the back of her head a little embarrassedly, but she couldn't suppress a smile on her lips.

She had always admired this senior's insight and logical thinking, and she could always easily deduce where she was going.

As a member of the literary club, Asami Uchida is also very fond of detective novels.

"Now that I've found Xiaolan, I feel relieved."

Uchida Asami looked at her with a smile, "But your father seems to be very busy recently. When I went to the office, he didn't seem to be there?"

"Yes, Dad has been filming recently and is involved in a very important movie project." Xiaolan said proudly.

"Really?" Uchida Asami nodded slightly, and then said jokingly, "But he can't be absent from my birthday party. Xiaolan, you have to help me invite him over."

"Of course!"

Xiaolan nodded vigorously, and the smile on her face became brighter. "It's senior sister's birthday. No matter how busy Dad is, he will definitely make time for it!"

"That's great." Uchida Asami breathed a sigh of relief, with a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes. "It's really an honor for me to be able to invite the savior of Tokyo to my birthday party. It's all thanks to me knowing you, Xiaolan."

"Ahahaha, you are joking, senior."

Xiaolan smiled with her eyes curved, and her heart was full of warmth.

She felt extremely happy to be recognized by such an outstanding senior.

Hattori Heiji and Conan on the side were muttering to themselves.

"Hey, Kudo..."

Hattori Heiji looked at the two people who were chatting happily, with a puzzled look on his face, "I think this is not bad, right? You are not taking it too seriously? Didn't you say she was troublesome before?"

"Just wait." Conan shook his head with lingering fear, muttering softly, "You still don't understand how powerful she is..."

Sure enough, after Uchida Asami and Xiaolan chatted for a while, her expression suddenly changed and became extremely serious.

She gently held Xiaolan's hand, with a trace of worry and seriousness in her eyes: "Xiaolan, I heard that you and that Kudo Shinichi... are entangled?"

"what?"

Xiaolan was stunned. She didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to her relationship with Kudo Shinichi.

"I suggest you cut it off right away."

Uchida Asami continued, her tone firm and almost commanding, "That guy is not a good person, he is impulsive, and he doesn't care about the feelings of girls at all! Xiaolan, you should find a good man who truly knows how to cherish you and take care of you, instead of being led by a guy who only causes trouble."

"Look! Here it comes!"

Conan muttered in frustration, then shrank back helplessly. His premonition just now came true - Senior Asami Uchida really started to "target" him again!
