Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Huiyuan Ai whispered, her voice as soft as a breeze, "It's you who made me see the sunshine."

Maori's smile grew softer.

He held out his hand and led her to the outside world. The sun shone on their figures, warm and bright.

Maori held Haibara Ai's hand and walked slowly to the gate of Teitan Elementary School.

The sunlight shone on the two of them. There was still a hint of tiredness on Haibara Ai's face. She yawned slightly and her little hand unconsciously tightened Maori's palm.

Mao Li looked down at her, smiled and patted her head: "After school, I will take you to eat delicious food."

Huibara Ai nodded, and a faint smile appeared on her tired little face.

At the same time, Conan and Xiaolan were fighting a life-and-death struggle at the door.

He held onto the gate pillar tightly, his face full of despair: "Sister Xiaolan, I really don't want to go to school! Please, just give me a day off today!"

Xiaolan put her hands on her hips and frowned, "No! How can I not go to school? I have to go today!"

Conan's face almost fell into a bitter one. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Maori and Haibara Ai walking not far away. As if he had seen his savior, he immediately broke free from Xiaolan's restraints and ran over.

"Uncle, help me! You know my real identity. I really can't stand it anymore! I'm going to go to primary school!"

He rushed to Maori like a little child, tugging at his clothes and winking at Huihara Ai secretly, and whispered: "Xiao Ai! Hurry up and say something for me, let's skip school together!"

However, Huiyuan Ai raised her eyes to look at Maori, and yawned slowly: "I really want to go to school."

Her tone sounded nonchalant, as if this was the most ordinary decision in her life.

Conan was struck by lightning and froze in place, his mouth slightly open with an incredible look on his face: "Traitor!"

Xiaolan grabbed Conan by the collar and lifted him up like a chicken: "Okay, stop playing tricks and get in!"

"No--!"

Conan's screams echoed at the school gate, but he was soon ruthlessly dragged into the school by Xiaolan.

At the school gate, several members of the Junior Detective League were already waiting there. When they saw Conan coming, they immediately surrounded him.

Yuanta grabbed his arm and said, "Conan! Why haven't you come to school these few days? Where have you been hiding?"

Mitsuhiko also agreed: "Yeah! We thought something happened to you!"

Conan had a bitter face, but before he could explain, Ayumi suddenly saw Maori not far away, and immediately left Conan behind, her eyes shining like stars: "Uncle Maori!"

The next second, Ayumi rushed over like a happy little bird and jumped into Maori's arms.

"Hey, Ayumi, long time no see."

Maori smiled and caught her steadily, holding her gently in his arms.

Ayumi rubbed against Maori's arms and said softly, "Uncle Maori, I miss you so much! Can you come to school to see me more often?"

"Of course." Maori smiled and ruffled her hair.

Huiyuan Ai stood beside him, crossed her arms, and smiled slightly: "Uncle, you are quite popular."

There was a hint of amusement in her tone.

Mao Li grinned, hugged Ayumi and whispered: "It's because the little detectives missed me."

Ayumi smiled sweetly, while Haibara Ai stood leisurely aside, with a slight indifference and relaxation in her eyes.

She seemed to have gradually gotten used to this warm and bright life. Compared with the cold laboratory before, everything here seemed so fresh.

"Come on, Ai, I'm going to go say hello to the teacher."

Maori put Ayumi down and waved to Haibara again.

Haibara Ai followed silently, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction in her heart.

The sunlight danced on her shoulders, as if a new chapter in her life was quietly unfolding.

……

Maori and Xiaolan sent Conan and Haibara Ai to the classroom door. As soon as they showed their heads, their homeroom teacher Kobayashi Sumiko came over.

Her outfit today was obviously carefully prepared. Unlike her usual plain and elegant look, there was a bit more charm between her eyebrows and eyes, and the light makeup made her temperament gentle yet bright.

Maori looked at her playfully, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he had seen something.

Ever since Maori’s “instructions” last time, Kobayashi Sumiko seemed to really start to care about her own image.

Seeing Mao Li, she nervously adjusted the hem of her skirt and hair, her hands unconsciously tangled around the hair by her ears, and then greeted Mao Li with a shy smile: "Mr. Mao Li, long time no see."

Mao Li, however, acted as if he saw nothing. He just nodded at her casually, his eyes glancing over her figure without responding to her enthusiasm.

Then, he asked casually, "Is Ms. Yonehara Akiko still in school? I heard that she seems to have some problems recently."

Kobayashi Sumiko's smile froze for a moment, and she suddenly felt a little sad.

She thought to herself: Am I not as important as Mr. Yonehara in his heart?

Despite this, she still suppressed the slight sense of disappointment and tried to answer in a calm voice: "Teacher Mihara is in the office today. If you want to see her, you should be able to see her now."

Mao Li smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Kobayashi."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Kobayashi Sumiko stood there, watching Maori and Xiaolan walk away together, and the disappointment in her heart surged like a tide.

Sure enough, I shouldn't have too many illusions.

She lowered her eyes, turned around and prepared to go back to the classroom.

Just as she was about to take a step, a familiar breath suddenly approached her.

Mao Li quietly stepped back, and when Xiaolan wasn't paying attention, he naturally hooked her shoulders, and a low voice sounded in her ears: "Teacher Xiaolin, you look very beautiful today, I like it very much."

His tone was ambiguous, with a hint of irresistible charm.

Kobayashi Sumiko was stunned, and her heart seemed to skip a beat at that moment.

She turned her head slightly and looked at Maori in astonishment.

Those cynical eyes carried a hint of warmth, as if conveying some indescribable message.

Mao Li smiled again: "I hope I will like it more next time."

After that, he calmly stuffed a piece of paper with his contact information into her palm and gently pinched her palm with his fingers, as if hinting at something.

Kobayashi Sumiko's face flushed red, and her mind was in a mess as if it was covered in steam.

Maori turned around gracefully and followed Xiaolan in big strides, as if the ambiguous scene just now had never happened.

Kobayashi Sumiko looked down at the note in her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly and her heart beating like a drum in her chest.

She, who had just been immersed in loss, was now filled with a huge sense of satisfaction - as if the sun had suddenly penetrated the dark clouds.

She tightly grasped the piece of paper, the blush on her face became more intense, and a shy and happy smile unconsciously rose at the corner of her mouth.

It turns out that he didn't care...

She stood there, watching Maori's back gradually disappearing into the distance, and it seemed as if a field of spring flowers were blooming in her heart.

……

As soon as they left the classroom, Xiaolan approached Maori with a puzzled look, "Dad, where did you go just now?"

Mao Li waved his hand casually and said lightly: "Oh, just taking a look around."

Xiaolan didn't think much about it. Seeing that he looked relaxed, she didn't ask any more questions and followed him towards the school office.

She pushed open the door, and immediately before her appeared a female teacher with outstanding temperament - Akiko Yonehara.

Yonehara Akiko has a slender figure, with curly hair casually draped over her shoulders, revealing a mature and intellectual beauty. She wears a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, and her temperament is cool and elegant. The whole person seems to exude a faint charm, which makes people unconsciously think of Kisaki Eri.

Maori's eyes lit up slightly, attracted by her unique temperament, and secretly sighed in his heart: Tokyo is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, this teacher is really extraordinary.

Yonehara Akiko looked up and saw them, with a puzzled look on her face: "Who are you two?"

Xiaolan immediately stepped forward and said politely, "Teacher Yonehara, I am Mao Lilan, and I used to be your student."

Yonehara Akiko was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Ah! Xiaolan! Oh my God, I can't recognize you!" She looked Xiaolan up and down, her smile full of surprise: "You have grown up and become so beautiful!"

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Maori Kogoro who was standing behind Xiaolan, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Then this must be the famous Maori Kogoro, right? I have heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect that the real person is more handsome than I imagined. The savior of Tokyo is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Mao Li grinned and greeted her, "You're too kind. I'm not a savior. I'm just lucky."

Akiko Yonehara smiled slightly, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

Chapter 346 Tsukamoto Sumi

"Speaking of which..."

After a few pleasantries, Mao Li asked casually, his tone seemed casual, but it was full of inquiry: "Uchida Asami seemed to have met you before, and she said that you seemed a little strange at that time. Did you encounter any trouble?"

Yonehara Akiko's smile froze for a moment, as if she was trying to hide something. She lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about how to answer. After a few seconds, she forced a smile and said, "Nothing special, just some trivial matters, don't take it to heart."

Mao Li narrowed his eyes slightly, keenly catching the flash of unnaturalness in her eyes. But he did not ask any more questions, just kept smiling politely.

Seeing that Maori did not pursue the matter, Yonehara Akiko seemed relieved. Suddenly, an idea occurred to her and she said with a smile, "By the way, I plan to go skiing in a few days. Do you want to relax with me? We can also catch up on the past."

Mao Li raised his eyebrows and gave her a meaningful look: "Skiing... sounds good."

He paused, then nodded: "Okay, we will definitely be there."

There was a hint of joy in Yonehara Akiko's eyes, as if she was looking forward to their arrival. She exchanged glances with Maori, and there seemed to be some unfinished tacit understanding quietly growing in the atmosphere.

Xiaolan stood aside and didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between the two. She just said happily: "I like skiing too. Let's meet in a few days, Mr. Yonehara!"

Yonehara Akiko smiled and nodded: "Then it's settled."

Mao Li smiled and watched Yonehara Akiko return to her desk. When he turned and left the office, his eyes were deep and complicated, as if he was thinking about something. This ski trip might not be that simple.

Xiaolan pulled Maoli's arm, looking forward to it: "Dad, let's go skiing. We haven't been skiing for a long time. We must have a lot of fun this time!"

Mao Li chuckled and patted her head: "Don't worry, this will be fun."

He looked down at Xiaolan's innocent smile, but a strange premonition arose in his heart.

……

On the way back home, Xiaolan said to Mao Li as they walked: "Dad, I have to go back to school. I haven't seen Yuanzi for a long time. I really miss her."

There was a hint of urgency and nostalgia in her voice, and her clear big eyes seemed to have already emerged with the scene of her reunion with Sonoko.

She paused, and suddenly remembered something: "Besides, Ms. Yonehara is also Sonoko's teacher. That's great. I can play with her when I go skiing."

Mao Li smiled, his eyes softened: "That girl Yuanzi is really energetic, and her carefree look is quite memorable."

Thinking of Yuanzi's enthusiasm and vitality, Maori couldn't help but shake his head slightly and smile a little.

The two soon arrived at Teitan High School. The campus was still bustling with activity, and Xiaolan couldn't wait to run to the classroom.

The moment she pushed open the classroom door, Xiaolan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yuanzi!"

Yuanzi was sitting by the window in a daze. When she heard a familiar voice, she turned around suddenly.

She jumped up instantly, but instead of rushing towards her Xiaolan, she rushed straight towards Maori who was standing at the door.

"Wow! Uncle Maori!"

With an excited look on her face, Sonoko flew into Maori's arms like a little bird, and asked him about his well-being in a sticky manner: "How are you doing recently? Do you miss me? Are you free tonight? Let's go have dinner together?"

Before Mao Li could respond, Sonoko's voice rang out like a machine gun.

Xiaolan's face darkened instantly, her eyes twitched, and anger surged in her heart.

She stepped forward and pinched Sonoko's ear mercilessly: "Sonoko, do you still remember that I am your best friend? Huh?"

"Oh my, oh my, be gentle, Xiaolan!"

Yuanzi screamed in pain and quickly raised her hands to beg for mercy, "Is it okay if I was wrong? Stop pinching me!"

Xiaolan then let go of her hand. Yuanzi covered her ears and muttered: "You are too stingy, isn't it just to say hello to Uncle Maori..."

This movement has already attracted the attention of classmates.

While rubbing her ears, Sonoko proudly said to the other students: "See? This is Tokyo's famous detective Maori Kogoro!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the classmates in the class immediately became excited and gathered around, surrounding Mao Li tightly.

Everyone asked Mao Li about the details of the case, and some people excitedly asked for his autograph.
