Chapter 24: Bad Temper

Kudo looked at the Gryffindors who didn't know how to come to the conclusion that "Edogawa Conan and Kuroba Kaito are fighting together" dumbfoundedly, and was speechless for a while.

After a long time, he spoke slowly: "Sorry, what did you just say?"

So for the next third of the journey, Edogawa Conan finally explained this big misunderstanding clearly by talking about it. Through detailed examples and analysis, he stunned three people, and successfully shifted the focus to various things after the school started. The test and the half-way Quidditch Cup—although Yoshida Ayumi still expressed doubts about the conclusion that "I have nothing to do with Professor Kuroba".

The hostility of teenagers always comes and goes quickly.

On the short return trip, Tsuburaya confirmed that the Ravenclaw whom Yoshida had a crush on did not have the same interest in the girl he had a crush on. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly let go of his previous prejudices.Although Edogawa didn't say much, but he naturally has a kind of temperament that makes people feel refreshed. Coupled with his profound knowledge and undeniable excellent appearance, he easily convinced these teenagers.

When the returning students came to the auditorium one after another, Kaito Kuroba saw Edogawa Conan walking into the auditorium with several young people wearing gold and red scarves.He was not conspicuous in the crowd, walking silently among the three Gryffindors, listening to them chattering and discussing something, his stunningly beautiful eyes were slightly bent, separated by such a distance His smile can be seen from a distance.

Hei Yu stared at such a scene, dazed for a while, as if time was flowing back silently between breaths.

It was the same with him in the past, there was an endless distance from that Ravenclaw prefect, and the world of difference in stalemate was destined to make the relationship between them full of gunpowder.They quarreled countless times over some trivial things, and in the end they broke up so badly that the whole school knew that they had a bad relationship.Hei Yu's pride didn't even bother to explain their relationship to others, and could only quietly peek at the black-haired youth surrounded by stars and moons.At that time, Kudo Shinichi was also like this, wearing a black academic robe, with two soft silver and blue interlaced scarves loosely wrapped around his neck-of course, there was a shiny prefect badge on his chest.But in comparison, Kudo Shinichi's gestures are more flamboyant and unrestrained, he hasn't learned to restrain his edge, he hasn't been smoothed by the years, and he hasn't learned how to be sleek and sophisticated.He allowed his pride to grow wantonly, and he didn't even hide the arrogance of his brows. His petty temper was too much to die for, but he still attracted many people to give him their hearts.

They know well that the relationship between the two is actually not as bad as others imagined-their relationship has maintained a delicate balance over the years.The contradiction stems from their most thorough understanding of each other's ideas, and it also makes them the people who understand each other best.This kind of exclusive feeling is secretive and exciting, he enjoys this kind of tit-for-tat but extremely personal feelings, and to some extent, it also becomes the shackles of Kuroba Kaito, who can do whatever he wants, not dare to step outside the warning line.

Sitting on the professor's chair, Kuroba watched as Kudo, who had traveled through decades, gradually overlapped with the figure of the young man who only had a slight resemblance between his eyebrows and eyes.

Kudo Shinichi has never been short of suitors.Even if he becomes Edogawa Conan, even if he deliberately conceals his excellence, this fact cannot be changed.His sweetheart is too dazzling, even the other party doesn't know that he is so dazzling.

He didn't expect Edogawa Conan to look up at this moment, and met his gaze unpreparedly.

The two were stunned at the same time, unexpectedly the other was looking at them.Fortunately, with a long distance, all the embarrassment and unnaturalness will not be so obvious.He only saw Edogawa bowing his mouth politely to him, his smile was blurred by the space, and he nodded his head as a greeting, and then he looked away calmly.

……what the hell.

Hei Yu thought a little aggrieved that he didn't come.

Before Christmas, the relationship was still so good, why did he take the Hogwarts Express and it seemed to be the same as before, the unfamiliar appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away made him itchy.

——However, the next scene was even worse.

The Gryffindor girl walking next to him tripped somehow and fell backwards.Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, Edogawa Conan, who was walking beside him, stretched out his hand to support her with sharp eyes, and hugged her in his arms with his strength, giving her a chance to stand firm, and lowered his eyes. With a gentle and gentle smile, after saying a word, he let go of his hand and took a step back. The distance was just right, neither abrupt nor alienated.The girl's face turned red, half of her face was huddled in the scarf and she nodded, bowing and thanking, but her eyes always drifted involuntarily to that Ravenclaw.She said something, which made the two Gryffindor boys beside him burst into laughter, and even Edogawa blushed a little—if I remember correctly, the two Gryffindor boys clearly He showed a good impression of this girl, and now he realizes that the opponent is too strong and gives up? !

Hei Yu almost gritted his silver teeth, and the dark aura emanating made the professor sitting next to him couldn't help but move aside.

In fact, Kudo simply said "be careful" and said nothing else.

On the other hand, Yoshida suddenly blinked his eyes and said softly, "You are not afraid that you are so kind to other people. Will Professor Kuroba not let you go?"

Edogawa subconsciously looked at the professor's seat where Kuroba was, and found that the other party was discussing something with the professor next to him, he was inexplicably relieved, and then laughed.

——What is he thinking, even if Kuroba Kaito sees it, it's nothing.Hei Yu didn't like herself, even if she saw it, how could she have other thoughts because of this kind of thing?

Whether Edogawa Conan has been spared is another matter, but it is true that the Gryffindor trio have not been spared.

Ever since they promised the three people to teach them silent magic, the three found out that this Ravenclaw is really omniscient. Since then, they have made up their mind to pull him into the library to study together whenever they have time. If you ask Edogawa about anything you don't understand, he can accurately provide the required information, as if moving the library, and the three people's respect for him has risen to a higher level.

A few weeks later, when the three Gryffindors came to the corner of the library where the four of them used to sit from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Edogawa Conan was already sitting on a chair and leisurely flipping through the book he found from nowhere. The advanced magic book, the thesis that was required to be completed this week has been put away by him and is at hand.Tsuburaya just glanced at the cover and then looked away—forget it, he saw clearly, they are not at the same level at all, they are not comparable.

Kojima pulled the chair across from him and sat down, sighing and complaining to Edogawa: "It's the end of class! Conan, you don't understand. Professor Kuroba has gone crazy for the past few weeks. It's too scary. If you have something to do every day, just do it." Getting angry at Gryffindor - not really angry, but you go and see the points he deducted from Gryffindor - anyway, this year's House Cup will definitely miss Gryffindor."

Tsuburaya also sat down next to him, took out his quill pen and kraft paper and sighed: "Really, I am always worried when I attend Professor Kuroba's class recently. I have been scolded several times, although he I did make a mistake in the criticism, and it makes sense, but I always feel that something is not right..."

"Maybe it's a broken relationship." Yoshida said half-jokingly, looking at Edogawa jokingly, trying to get some reaction.

Edogawa calmly turned a page of the book without raising his eyelids: "Ms. Yoshida."

"Sorry, sorry." Yoshida said, but there was no apology in his tone.Edogawa rolled his eyes inwardly, feeling helpless at the little girl's persistence.During this period of time, Yoshida Ayumi always came to spy on the real relationship between Edogawa Conan and Kuroba Kaito from time to time, and decided that there must be an affair between them.It's a pity that she couldn't get an answer from Kuroba, and Edogawa looked reckless, so he touched his nose angrily and announced his defeat.She tactfully changed the subject: "Have you finished your Potions paper? You must have finished it. Why did I ask such a question that doesn't need to be answered? In fact, I haven't done a few things about the preparation of palliatives." Understand……"

The four of them sat in a corner of the library, suppressing their voices and began to ask Ravenclaw various academic questions, extending from Potions to Divination.While Kudo casually read the literature on the use of spiritual power recorded in ancient runes, he answered their various questions.He couldn't help but think of Kaito Kuroba in his mind - Kuroba's attitude towards him these past few weeks was really weird, obviously during class he could always notice Kaito Kuroba looking at him when he wasn't paying attention, When he looked up, Kuroba had already looked away, and he hadn't spoken much for a few weeks, which made Kudo a little confused.

Having known each other for so many years, he can tell that Kuroba is not in a good mood recently, but Kudo always feels that he has no position, so he rushes to ask him why he is in a bad mood recently, and can only stand there thinking secretly.

"Why do you always read these... Well, it seems that the books are not very useful. You haven't studied ancient runes, so you won't need it for the exam..." Tsuburaya leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Kudo sighed, and unconsciously rubbed the yellowed pages with his fingertips: "Who told you it's not very useful?"

Tsuburaya stared at the strange lines of words on the book wordlessly, and fell into silence.

Kudo pointed to a line of ancient runes, and began to translate it for Tsuburaya, which involved the topic of the use of spiritual power, which happened to have something to do with the silent magic that he would teach them later.Tsuburaya was a little fascinated by what he heard, and his whole head was moved over, sighing while completely not noticing that the distance between him and Ravenclaw was almost gone.

When Hei Yu chased after that mysterious figure and walked out of the restricted area with some irritated strides, what he saw was such a scene.

He paused, staring at the figures of the two youths who didn't know it, and a line called reason in his mind was cut off at that moment.

He didn't know what he was thinking, so he walked straight over and said to Edogawa who raised his head and looked at him with a cold face: "Mr. Edogawa, don't forget that you are coming to me this afternoon." office."

"...?"

Black Feather glanced around the three Gryffindors who were in a daze, the corners of their eyes twitched, and the low air pressure was about to turn into substance and radiate out.He snorted softly, and without looking incredulously, he flicked his robe——

gone.

There was a moment of silence in the air.

After a while, Kojima broke the oppressive silence, and said softly to Kudo: "...Do you want to prepare for your funeral?"
