Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Actually, Yui Murakami was the teacher in charge of this summer camp, something she herself hadn't expected.

She checked the list of people while urging the students to get on the bus.

"Sato-kun, have we arrived yet?"

Yui Murakami glanced up at the crowd, saw the girl with the ponytail, and ticked a box on the list.

"Hurry up and get in the car. Put your luggage in the storage box under the car, don't forget anything."

She continued calling out while giving her instructions.
"Yamada-san, Suzuna-san... and Hayashi Shuichi and Kisaki Eri, you two hurry up too, the bus needs to leave on time!"

Hearing the urging, Lingzi hugged even tighter, burying her face in Lin Xiuyi's arms, her voice muffled.
"Onii-chan, remember to call me every day, don't miss a single day! Also, take good care of yourself, don't get sick, and if you do get sick, remember to take your medicine."

Her voice grew softer and softer, tinged with obvious sobs.
"Eat on time, don't stay up late, and..."

"Okay, I understand. I've got it all in mind."

Lin Xiuyi gently patted her back, feeling her little sister's small body trembling slightly.

"Be a good girl and wait for me to come home. I'll bring you lots of presents."

Reiko reluctantly let go, took a step back, her eyes red, but she still managed a forced smile.
"Onii-chan, have a safe trip."

Her voice trembled slightly, but she tried her best to keep smiling, not wanting her brother to worry.

Lin Xiuyi and Fei Yingli exchanged a smile and boarded the bus together.

Lin Xiuyi found a seat by the window and looked out to see Lingzi still standing there, her little hand raised high, waving at him incessantly.

Kogoro Mouri waved his hand, but shouted, "Don't forget the magazine!"

Midori Orikasa smiled and gave him a "good luck" gesture.

Lin Xiuyi waved to them as well, until the bus slowly started moving, leaving them behind little by little, and finally disappearing around the corner of the street.

He then looked away and leaned back in his chair. Although he was looking forward to the trip to the United States, he still felt a little empty after leaving familiar people and things.

The bus drove smoothly toward the airport, and the students on board excitedly discussed their upcoming trip to the United States.

Some were talking about going to Disneyland to experience all the rides, some were talking about going to Hollywood to see the stars, and others were discussing which American specialties to buy to take home.

The carriage was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere.

Lin Xiuyi looked at the scenery rushing past the window, then suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Murakami Yui, who was sitting next to him.
"Teacher, why didn't you say you were the teacher in charge of the group? I thought it would be the vice principal or some other teacher."

Yui Murakami put down the folder in her hand, tapped her fingertips lightly on the cover, and a strange smile appeared on her face, as if she had remembered something interesting.
“I was also very surprised. The teacher who was initially assigned to lead the team was the vice principal, but the vice principal suddenly said that he had a family matter and his daughter was about to give birth, so he could not go to the United States and had to find a replacement at the last minute.”

"Later, the school found another English teacher. That teacher spoke English very well. We had already agreed to the job, but the day before yesterday, he suddenly said that he was not feeling well and had severe motion sickness, so he could not travel far and we had to give up."

She paused, then added, still puzzled.

"After that, we had two more teachers. One said she had to take care of her sick mother, and the other said her child was too young to leave her alone."

"In short, the school changed several teachers, but they didn't seem very willing to go to the United States, so the task fell to me."

Yui Murakami smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "When the principal talked to me, I thought that I had never been abroad, so I might as well take this opportunity to go to the United States and experience a different culture, so I agreed immediately."

"Shouldn't going abroad be a good thing?" Eri asked, somewhat confused. "Why are the teachers passing the buck?"

“Who knows,” Murakami Yui waved her hand. “Maybe they think America is too far away, or maybe something really happened at home. Anyway, I’ll just treat this trip as a vacation for myself, a trip abroad, it’s pretty good.”

As she said this, she picked up the folder in her hand and gently patted Lin Xiuyi on the shoulder.
"You little rascal, don't you dare cause any trouble when you get to America! Out of all the dozen or so students in our school, you're the most likely to cause trouble!"

"You'd better behave yourself this time in America and don't wander around, understand?"

It was supposed to be a warning, but judging from her smiling face, it was clearly more of a joke.

Lin Xiuyi didn't pay any attention and leaned his head against the window, starting to doze off.

Last night, as the last night before his departure, Lingzi kept telling him stories all night long, and he was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open.

The sunlight outside the window was warm and comforting, and the slight swaying of the bus was like a cradle, which quickly lulled Lin Xiuyi into a dream.

Eri Kisaki looked at the sleeping profile of Hideaki Hayashi, smiled gently, took out a law book from her backpack, and began to read it carefully.

She plans to take advantage of this trip to the United States to learn more about the American legal system in preparation for studying abroad in the future.

In a daze, Lin Xiuyi felt someone pulling her arm.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Eri Kisaki standing beside him, holding his backpack.

"Wake up, it's time to get off the bus."

Lin Xiuyi rubbed her eyes, yawned widely, and followed Fei Yingli off the bus.

The airport terminal was bustling with people, and passengers with suitcases were everywhere. Boarding announcements and missing person notices were playing on a loop.

Yui Murakami took the list and counted the number of people one by one. Only after confirming that all the students had arrived did she lead them to check in, check their luggage, and then line up to go through security.

The whole process was busy but not chaotic. Lin Xiuyi stayed by Fei Yingli's side the whole time, occasionally helping her carry her backpack, and his mind was still in a semi-conscious state.

Once I boarded the flight to Los Angeles, I found my seat and sat down.

Just as Lin Xiuyi was about to go back to sleep, she heard a familiar greeting from beside her.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Mr. Lin."

Lin Xiuyi turned his head in confusion, and to his left was Kudo Yusaku sitting next to him.

The young writer was dressed casually today, looking much more relaxed than usual, and was holding a notebook in his hand, seemingly working on a new novel.

"How come you're on this plane too?" Lin Xiuyi asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes in surprise.

“It’s for work,” Yusaku Kudo shrugged, taking a book out of his bag. “The publisher is holding several book launches for me in the US, and I have to go there to attend.”

"That's it"

Lin Xiuyi yawned, not taking it to heart. He adjusted his chair, preparing to continue his nap… (End of Chapter)
