Chapter 28: Casanova

After Akai Shuichi left, Hattori recast the spell to ensure that their conversation would not be heard by others, and began to integrate the information they had obtained so far with Kudo, and tried to think of any better countermeasures.

However, this project is undoubtedly arduous and difficult-they have discussed for a long time but did not think of a better method, so they had to suspend it.Hattori checked the time and reminded Kudo that the Hogwarts students were about to return to the castle - he had to get back to the dormitory before his roommates noticed something strange.

Kudo lowered his hat, lowered his head and followed Hattori out of the crowded bar.The temperature outside was much lower than in the bar. When the door was opened, a gust of cold wind hit him unexpectedly. Kudo subconsciously raised his head and reached out to grab the brim of his hat that was about to be blown off.

At this moment, his pupils contracted suddenly, and he saw a familiar figure appearing diagonally opposite Mrs. Puddiffe's teahouse.

—Kaito Kuroba.

He is dressed very formally today. The three-piece custom-made suit sets off his figure more perfectly. The slightly sideways face is softened and brightened by the candlelight floating in the sky. A tall woman speaks.Kudo knew that woman—she was also an Auror, her name was Lola, and she had always had a good relationship with Kaito Kuroba in his impression. She had golden wavy hair and was called an Aurus Sihua.

Now that these two people appeared together in Hogsmeade, they looked like they had just come out of Lady Puddiffe's teahouse, the famous lovers' sanctuary.Kudo had to admit sourly that they were really a good match standing there, and that they were both talented and beautiful.

Before he could look away, he saw Kuroba open his arms and embrace Laura, and whispered something in her ear.Laura then laughed and kissed Kuroba on the cheek.

……

Kudo lowered his head, the wide brim of his hat concealed his expression.

"Isn't that Kuroba and Lola?" Hattori also found two colleagues not far away from them, and subconsciously whispered, "—Wow, they even kissed? Are these two related?"

The more Kudo listened to it, the more he didn't like it. He just wanted to leave this hellish place quickly, so he couldn't help but reached out and tugged on Hattori's sleeve: "Let's go."

Hattori didn't hear the depression in Kudo's tone, and turned his head in a daze: "Ah? You're not curious about that guy Kuroba Kaito—"

"Hatto." Kudo wanted to shut him up directly, but he was worried that Kuroba would see him or hear his voice, so he kicked Hattori hard.

Hattori yelled in pain, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I know you and that guy are not on the same page, let's go. Tsk, why did he find the partner first, and it was the big beauty Laura, it's really unfair..."

Black Feather was happy because he successfully asked Laura to help secretly investigate the mysterious organization, so he couldn't help but hugged his friend who had worked with him for many years.The other party also politely kissed her on the cheek as always - Laura always likes to do this kind of kiss ceremony, which probably has something to do with the reason why she was born as a Muggle and aristocrat.From being awkward at the beginning, Hei Yu has long been used to it, and accepts this etiquette without hesitation.

"—At seven o'clock, someone is watching us. Could it be..."

Laura's face was pressed against Kuroba's, her expression didn't seem to change at all, and she said in an inaudible manner.

Kuroba still hugged Laura—they looked like a close couple saying goodbye, the Hogwarts students had almost gone, and no one recognized them on the street—said softly: "Look Do you know how you look?"

"No. You can only see one tall and one short, and you can't see the face clearly when wearing a hat-they are leaving, do you want to chase them?"

"I'll be in charge. The Ministry of Magic's investigation should be closed as soon as it's done. Don't get involved too much. Be careful."

Their exchange was only a few seconds, and then ended this slightly longer close kiss, which did not arouse anyone's suspicion.Laura nodded to Kuroba, turned around and disappeared into the night.

It's a pity that when he walked to the place where the two people appeared just now, the figures had disappeared completely.He cast a scene reenactment spell, only to see the backs of two people covered in wizard robes leaving towards the edge of Hogsmeade village. Their appearance, age and figure were all well concealed, and it was obvious that they had accepted it. Professionally trained people.

...It seems that I can't catch up.

Fortunately, he and Laura were very careful to place anti-listening spells and the like, and even if someone suspected them, they would not know what happened.It's just that he needs to remind Laura again - he doesn't want Laura to have any accidents because of him.

Black Feather suppressed the uneasy thoughts in his heart, turned around and returned to Hogwarts.

When Sam, Sean and Simon happily returned to the dormitory from Hogsmeade, Edogawa Conan was already asleep.When the three of them reluctantly got out of bed the next morning, what they saw was a man sitting on the window sill with his chin bent, looking at the scenery outside the tower and thinking about Conan Edogawa.

They immediately put away the smiles on their faces and looked at each other.

—their eaglet must be sad not to be Hogsmeade.

--fine……

Simon quickly rummaged through it, then walked to the edge of Edogawa with a bag and coughed.

"Good morning, Conan! The three of us jointly bought you a quill yesterday—Merlin! Why are you crying?"

Edogawa had already heard the sound they made after they got up, but he was thinking about his own affairs and pretended not to hear that's all.Now that the other party was standing beside him, he couldn't pretend anymore, so he turned his head and looked at Simon.When Simon saw his red eyes at first glance, he thought the other party was crying, and the whole person screamed in shock as if overwhelmed.

"...Thank you for your concern, Mr. Simon." Edogawa's tone was helpless and calm, and his voice did not have the hoarse trace of crying just now.

Simon took a closer look, only to find that the other party's eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept well all night.He scratched his head, stretched out his hand and handed the bag to Edogawa, and after thinking for a long time, he choked out a sentence: "Don't be sad, there will be a chance next time."

Kudo was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the three roommates thought he was sad because he didn't go to Hogsmeade, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.He hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to accept the kindness of his roommates: "Thank you."

Even though his roommates would be wrong, the genuine kindness from the 15-year-olds still warmed his heart.The mysterious organization's mysterious plan for Hogwarts, coupled with the close relationship between Kuroba Kaito and his Auror colleague Lola - it is obvious that Kudo Shinichi lost sleep all night.

He couldn't think of any quick solutions for either, and in the end Kudo decided he couldn't think of either, and just diverted his attention by doing other things first.Coincidentally, the final round of the Quidditch Cup this year is approaching, and all Quidditch players have been given special training time from the school.During this time, they will not have to participate in any gatherings, special events, lectures, after-school detention, and confinement for non-special circumstances, and they only need to concentrate on training.

Kudo Shinichi thought everything was perfect.

——Now, except for class time, he can perfectly avoid Kuroba Kaito, and there is no time for the two of them to spend alone.After all, in class, people from the two colleges are in class together, even if he wants to target himself, he has no choice.

The fact that he didn't have to deal with Kuroba and was disturbed by Kuroba made Kudo involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief, and finally had some breathing time to adjust his mentality, and kill this ambiguous feeling for Kuroba as soon as possible.

So he quickly threw himself into the high-intensity Quidditch training day after day. Apart from eating and sleeping in class, he was flying on a broom over the Quidditch pitch.It sounds simple and boring, but Kudo enjoys it.

——Since graduating, he hasn't lived such a pure life for a long time.

In contrast, Kuroba Kaito's life was not so comfortable.

Ever since the Quidditch teams from the four academies had entered the competition training season, he had rarely seen Edogawa Conan outside of class time.For some reason, Hei Yu keenly noticed that the other party seemed to be deliberately avoiding him.Hogwarts was neither big nor small, but it didn't even give him a chance to talk to his sweetheart.For this reason, Hei Yu has been depressed for several days.

He sat on the teacher's table in boredom and scooped a spoonful of cheesecake, and peeked at the Asian boy sitting at the long Ravenclaw table who was chatting happily with his roommates, and became even more bored.

——Yes, he couldn't figure out why Kudo Shinichi wanted to hide from him.

I didn't do anything wrong.Black Feather thought a little aggrieved.Why should he hide from himself.

Finally, after a week, Kuroba couldn't bear it anymore.He decided to take advantage of the Quidditch training to talk to Edogawa Conan.

Kudo Shinichi had just finished training, took a shower in the locker room of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, and came out after changing into clean and refreshing clothes.Several people were talking and laughing, carrying their own things, sometimes discussing Quidditch tactics, and sometimes chatting about campus gossip, the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

As a result, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw a slender figure appearing on the only way from the Quidditch pitch to the Ravenclaw tower.The other party was leaning against the wall with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, until a group of them walked over in a mighty manner before raising his head, nodding and smiling at them.

Several people stopped communicating immediately, and greeted unevenly: "Hello, Professor Heiyu."

Because Kudo was walking at the back, and the team members were generally taller than him, he didn't see Kaito Kuroba greeting them with his hands in his pockets. He was stunned when he heard the voice, and subconsciously wanted to turn around slip.

After thinking about it, he didn't do anything wrong recently, and he didn't run away because he was upright and not afraid of the shadow slanting—so he stopped in his tracks as if nothing had happened.

"Training was hard."

Kudo heard Kuroba Kaito speak in a pleasant manner.

"...It's not hard, it's not hard." Several monks Zhang Er replied puzzledly, and for a moment they didn't understand what it meant that a professor who graduated from Gryffindor suddenly came to condolences to them Ravenclaw Quidditch team .Besides, next week is the duel between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. If Ravenclaw wins this game, basically other colleges will miss the Quidditch Cup.What is Professor Kuroba wanting to appear at this time?

"Go and rest, I am very much looking forward to your match in a week." Kudo heard Kuroba then say kindly, "Actually, I am here to find Edogawa-san—is he there?"

...He knew that the visitor was not good!

Kudo secretly screamed in his heart that something was wrong.

It's a pity that it's too late to sneak away now - his good teammates have turned their heads to look at Edogawa Conan standing behind at the same time.He had no choice but to bite the bullet and smiled, and walked up to Heiyu through the path separated by his teammates: "I'm here. Is Professor Heiyu doing anything?"

"It's not convenient to talk about it here." Heiyu said pretending to be serious, while sweeping away the Ravenclaws who were standing around watching the fun.They sighed at the same time, feeling extremely sorry for not being able to eat melons, and left angrily. At the end, they did not forget to remind Edogawa: "There is training tomorrow, don't be late."

"Understood." Edogawa showed a bright smile to his teammates reasonably, and waved to the Ravenclaws who were walking away.

After confirming that they were too far away to hear the conversation between the two, Kudo resigned his eyes to the man who gave him such a headache, and pretended to be a humble and polite student: "Professor Kuroba asked Is there anything urgent for me?"

Hei Yu stared fixedly at the young man with low brows and pleasing face who was within reach of him a few steps away, watching him smiling at his teammates one second, and turning into this in the next second. With a polite and rusty appearance, the vague and euphemistic questions that had been rehearsed in his mind suddenly disappeared completely.

His brain became hot, and he blurted out——

"Why are you avoiding me?"

Kudo: Scumbag!Run away shamelessly after flirting!

Black Feather: I am not, I am not, I am wronged!

Hee hee, I've eaten so much vinegar, can I still be far away from my confession?
