Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Mao Li sighed helplessly, but still smiled and signed autographs for everyone one by one, trying his best to appease this group of enthusiastic students.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Don't bring riots to school."

The crowd made way for a girl wearing a white karate uniform and with short hair, who walked out from the crowd.

There is a hint of heroism between her brows, and her androgynous temperament makes her look particularly capable and independent.

The moment Xiaolan saw her, she stood up straight and said respectfully, "Sister Shumei!"

Tsukamoto Kazumi glanced at Xiaolan sharply and said unceremoniously, "You haven't come to training for a long time, right? Your skills have declined. Don't be lazy all the time. You need to practice more."

"Yes, Senpai! I promise to train hard!"

Xiaolan bowed quickly, looking extremely serious.

Tsukamoto Suzumi nodded, turned around and left the classroom with satisfaction, leaving behind a cool and capable aura.

Mao Li watched her back and touched his chin thoughtfully: "Who is this girl?"

Xiaolan looked up at Maori, her tone full of admiration: "She is senior student Tsukamoto Suzumi, the former leader of my karate club. She is very strong. However, she has retired from the club."

Mao Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked meaningfully at Sumei's back as she disappeared at the end of the corridor. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Although her temperament is a bit neutral, but... she is indeed a great beauty."

When Xiaolan heard her father's comments, she raised her head and curled her lips: "Dad, don't make any random decisions. She is not that kind of girl."

Maori chuckled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm just talking casually."

Xiaolan stared at Maori suspiciously, but didn't say much.

Then she looked at Sonoko and chatted with her about her recent life, and the classroom returned to its former bustle and joy.

……

After leaving the classroom, Maori put his hands in his pockets and wandered around the campus aimlessly.

The early morning sun shone on the shady path, and students walked by in twos and threes. He looked up at the sky, sighing at his youth.

However, just as he was about to leave the campus, a powerful and crisp hitting sound attracted his attention.

The voice came from the karate club's training hall.

Maori walked towards the sound curiously, stood outside the door and peeked out, only to see Tsukamoto Kazumi wearing a white karate uniform and practicing alone on the training mat.

Her punches were crisp and clear, each one full of power and determination.

Sweat slid down her cheeks, carrying with her an almost stubborn tenacity.

Maori leaned against the door frame, his arms crossed over his chest, a hint of amusement in his eyes, and watched her training silently.

Kazumi Tsukamoto seemed completely immersed in her own world, focusing on every punch and defense.

Maori raised the corner of his mouth slightly, waited for a while, and finally walked towards her with interest.

Suddenly, Tsukamoto Kazumi keenly sensed someone approaching from behind, so she turned around abruptly and attacked Mori without hesitation.

Her punches were sharp and her movements were clean and crisp, with the aura of a karate master.

However, Mao Li dodged easily as if strolling in the garden, and blocked her fist steadily with his hand.

Tsukamoto Suzumi was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she immediately launched another attack without giving in.

She kept punching and kicking at Maori, as if she wanted to defeat him with a violent attack.

However, no matter how fierce her attack was, Mao Li seemed to have seen through her intentions long ago and was able to easily resolve it every time.

Tsukamoto Kazumi became more and more anxious as the fight went on, with beads of sweat dripping down her forehead.

She quickened her pace, but found that her attacks became more and more chaotic, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

Mao Li smiled calmly and reminded softly: "Don't be impatient, don't panic, otherwise the attack will only become more and more chaotic."

His words sounded light, but they carried a kind of superiority and arrogance.

Tsukamoto Kazumi was shocked, but before she had time to think, Maori grabbed her arm, turned his body, and threw her to the mat with a beautiful judo technique.

Tsukamoto Suzumi only felt a flash before her eyes, and the next moment, she was pressed to the ground by Maori.

Maori held her shoulders with one hand and easily controlled her waist with the other hand, ensuring that she could not break free.

She struggled a few times under Maori's control, and her cheeks turned red with anger and shame.

"How long are you going to hold me?"

Tsukamoto Suzumi panted and glared at him angrily, with a hint of shame in her voice.

Mao Li leaned over, with a malicious smile on his face, and leaned close to her ear, and said in a low voice: "Why? You don't like it?"

Tsukamoto Kazumi's face turned even redder and she gritted her teeth in anger, but she found that she was unable to break free.

He controlled his strength perfectly, not hurting her but also making her completely under his control.

Maori smiled, and when he saw that she stopped struggling, he slowly let go of her hand and stood up.

He also pulled up Tsukamoto Sumi, patted her on the shoulder, and teased, "Tsukamoto-san, you are worthy of being the former commander, but you need to be more patient."

Tsukamoto Suzumi glared at him, bit her lip and said nothing, feeling that she had been completely humiliated in front of Mori.

However, a complex emotion surged in her heart - an unprecedented excitement and subtle throbbing.

Maori Kogoro stood beside the training mat, his hands in his pockets, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was filled with casual concern: "By the way, everyone is in school, why don't you go?"

Tsukamoto Kazumi's originally calm expression suddenly froze, her brows frowned, she bit her lower lip, and her eyes began to wander.

She didn't want to answer this question - this secret that had troubled her for a long time, she had never told anyone.

But the Maori Kogoro in front of her was different. This man not only defeated her with overwhelming strength, but also made her feel inexplicably at ease.

This strange feeling of being suppressed by a strong person made her speak for some unknown reason.

"I... really want to go to school, but I can't anymore."

Tsukamoto Kazumi's voice was low, as if she was reluctant to let these words slip out of her mouth.

Maori frowned slightly, his eyes focused without any sarcasm or contempt, just waiting for her to continue.

This patience loosened Tsukamoto Kazumi's defenses a little.

She took a breath and whispered, "Something happened at home. The company run by my father went bankrupt and owed a lot of money. In order to pay off the debt, I had to work several jobs and couldn't attend classes normally..."

Tsukamoto Susumi paused, smiled bitterly and said, "So, I can only give up my studies and help my family get by."

Mao Li's eyes flashed with understanding, but he did not interrupt her.

Tsukamoto Suzumi rarely talked about this with others - she hated others looking at her with pity, and she didn't want others to know the burden she was bearing.

She wanted to solve the problem on her own, holding on, and refused to give in even if she was under a lot of pressure.

"I like karate, but my training time has to be shortened."

There was a hint of reluctance and loss in Tsukamoto Kazumi's voice, "I have given up a lot of things, studies, training, and... the future."

"It's just a small matter. I'll help you."

Maori looked at Tsukamoto Kazumi seriously and said.

However, Tsukamoto Suzumi looked up at Maori, her eyes stubborn and a little defensive: "I don't need your sympathy. What do I need to pay for you to help me?"

Maori was silent for a moment, his eyes still calm.

He could understand Tsukamoto Kazumi's feelings.

This is a proud girl who doesn't want to owe anyone anything and will stand upright no matter how much she has to bear.

"I'm helping you not for any reward."

He said calmly, his voice low and sincere, "Just because I think you are worth it."

Tsukamoto Suzumi was stunned for a moment, and her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

She saw sincerity in Maori's eyes, without any contempt, just pure concern. This warm feeling made her a little overwhelmed.

"Still not necessary."

She gritted her teeth and tried to look calm, "Free things are the most expensive."

Mao Li did not persuade her any further. He just took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to her: "Here is my contact information. If you change your mind, call me."

After saying that, he turned around and left with a brisk pace, as if the conversation just now was just a casual greeting.

Tsukamoto Kazumi looked at his back, feeling mixed emotions.

She looked down at the note in her hand and wanted to crumple it up and throw it away, but when she applied force with her fingers, she suddenly stopped.

The chic handwriting on the note seemed to provoke her, causing her to hesitate for a moment.

"Mouri Kogoro..." she murmured, her fingertips trembling slightly.

She finally folded the note carefully twice and put it in her pocket.

Although she told herself not to rely on others anymore, a long-lost hope emerged in a corner deep in her heart.

Perhaps, this man's help was not as heavy a yoke as she imagined.

She shook her head, shook off those inexplicable emotions, and returned to training. However, the note in her heart seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and could not be shaken off.

Chapter 347 Let’s Go Skiing

Soon, the day of skiing arrived as scheduled.

Kogoro Mori drove a car with a group of people to the villa rented by Akiko Yonehara on the mountain.

The car was filled with a relaxed atmosphere. Sonoko and Xiaolan were enthusiastically discussing ski equipment, while Conan leaned against the window with a long-lost smile on his face.

The feeling of not having to go to school made him as happy as a bird set free, while Haibara Ai leaned lazily in her seat, yawning occasionally, her calm gaze sweeping across the white snow scene outside the window.

When we arrived at the villa, the silvery mountain scenery came into view, the sun shone on the white snow, and there was a fresh chill in the air.

As soon as Mao Li and his group got off the car, Akiko Yonehara came out in an elegant plush coat to greet her guests.

Her gentle smile looked particularly bright in the cold wind, and a few strands of curly hair fell from under the brim of her hat, complementing the delicate makeup on her face.

"Mr. Yonehara!"

Sonoko shouted excitedly and ran forward, hugging her old teacher without any restraint.

She chirped like a little bird, "You're still as beautiful as ever! I almost didn't recognize you!"

Yonehara Akiko smiled and patted Sonoko on the back: "It's not me who is beautiful, it's you who has changed the most. Sonoko is more elegant now than before, she is completely different!"

Yuanzi was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "This is how Uncle Maori taught me to dress up."

After listening to this, Yonehara Akiko turned to look at Maori Kogoro who was standing beside her. Her eyes flickered and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Then if there is a chance in the future, please give me some advice, Mr. Maori."

Mao Li smiled slightly and said teasingly: "Ms. Yonehara is so beautiful that she doesn't need my guidance anymore."

Sonoko pouted in mock anger: "So that means I'm not pretty enough? Uncle Maori, you're biased!"

Akiko Yonehara was amused by Sonoko and laughed out loud, and Xiaolan couldn't help but join in the joke.

Conan stood aside and watched this happy scene, feeling extremely happy - life without going to school was indeed wonderful.

Ai Huibara on the side yawned lightly and looked around at the quiet snow scene with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

"Oh, I almost forgot," Yonehara Akiko suddenly realized, clapped her hands with a smile, "Come in! Don't stand outside and get cold."

She led everyone into the warm villa and enthusiastically introduced several teachers who were traveling with them.

"This is Mr. Shimoda Kohei, the fifth grade homeroom teacher."

She pointed to a middle-aged man who looked somewhat ordinary, and Teacher Shimoda nodded to everyone.

"This is Mr. Ryuichi Sakai, in charge of physical education."

A muscular-looking, dark-skinned man smiled and greeted me.

"This is Ms. Minori Nakamura, the school's maintenance teacher."

The last person Akiko Yonehara introduced was a gentle woman who was wearing a thick cashmere sweater and had soft eyes.

Mao Li smiled and shook hands with the teachers one by one: "I'm so sorry to bother you by bringing so many people here."

Yonehara Akiko quickly smiled and waved her hands: "Don't say that! We are all elementary school teachers, and what we like most is playing with children. Besides, Xiaolan and Sonoko are also my students, so of course I have to treat them well."

She turned to look at Maori, a hint of teasing in her eyes, "More importantly, the most welcome one is our famous detective Maori Kogoro."

Mao Li laughed heartily after hearing this: "Haha, I'm really flattered."

The atmosphere among everyone was very harmonious, and laughter echoed in the warm villa.
