Was he a transfer student who came back after he left?

Although she looks like a man, she is definitely a girl because she is wearing a skirt.

"My name is Sera Masumi, nice to meet you!"

"Hello……"

Chapter 276 You're not good enough, you can't compare.

"...So, Ran-san doesn't like Shinichi Kudo anymore?"

During recess, Hondou Eisuke pulled Suzuki Sonoko aside and whispered to her by the flower bed.

"Yes."

"Does Nalan-san have someone she likes right now?" Hondo Eisuke looked at her expectantly.

Sonoko Suzuki saw through his little scheme at a glance, and she looked him up and down.

After being away for a while, Hondo Eisuke has grown a little taller and more muscular, looking like he has been exercising.

But she's still thin, nothing like Qingze.

She clicked her tongue twice and sighed.

"You can't do it, you can't beat me."

"what?"

"Xiaolan has someone she likes, a super handsome guy whose style is completely different from yours. But they're not together yet, so it's not like you don't have a chance."

Sonoko Suzuki supports Ran having suitors.

This can create a sense of crisis for Qingze, making him care more about Xiaolan, and prompting them to quickly exchange feelings and get together.

She was getting anxious watching the two of them dragging their feet, clearly liking each other but just not being together.

Now, there's a new guy, Hondo Eisuke, who's clearly interested in Ran.

We were classmates, and we spent about a third of our time together.

She refused to believe that Qingze wasn't anxious!

"I see..." Hondo Eisuke felt a little disappointed when he heard that Ran had someone she liked.

"What kind of person is that? Is he good to Lan Sang?"

Sonoko Suzuki said mysteriously, "You'll find out in a couple of days at the school festival."

After school in the afternoon, Sonoko Suzuki waved her hand generously at the four of them.

"To celebrate our class's return to our Grade 11 Class B, I'm treating everyone to karaoke!"

"Sonoko, I don't have time. My acting teacher has given me a lot of homework..." Ran Mouri said apologetically.

She really doesn't have enough time lately; she has to do homework, practice makeup and disguise, and practice voice imitation.

And with final exams approaching, I still need to review my lessons.

She even wanted Qingze to do her homework for her...

"Ah..." Sonoko Suzuki was disheartened when her suggestion was rejected.

Xiaolan has been quite busy lately, and she has declined my invitations to go out several times.

"How about this, let's go get some snacks to celebrate! Let's go to Poirot, it's close to your house!"

"Okay." Ran Mouri nodded in agreement.

Sonoko Suzuki took her arm, raised her chin, and snorted, "There's a gem exhibition this weekend. Maybe Lord Kid will send out a notice. You have to come with me. You can't refuse again!"

Ran Mouri smiled and nodded, "Since Sonoko-sama has invited me, I will certainly comply!"

The four of them walked and chatted, and soon arrived near the firm.

Bai Yu had just finished shopping for daily necessities at the supermarket. He was carrying two large bags in his hands, a large plastic bag tucked under his right elbow, and a broom and mop tucked under his left arm. He was walking very slowly.

As I turned a corner, I bumped right into Ran Mouri.

Ran Mouri paused for a moment, then reached out to help.

"Let me get it for you."

"Thank you, but I'm almost there, so you don't need to bother me."

The two acted like complete strangers, enacting their first encounter.

"It's alright, it's easy for you to lose so much stuff if you're carrying it all by yourself."

Despite being refused, Ran Mouri still tried to help.

Sonoko Suzuki, standing next to her, generously chimed in, "Yes, yes, let us help you carry some. It looks so tiring for you to carry all this stuff by yourself."

"Alright then... thank you for your help..."

With everyone helping to share the load, Bai Yu's hands were immediately relieved.

"Excuse me, did you just move to this neighborhood?" Sera Masumi asked curiously as she helped carry the broom.

"Yes. I moved here yesterday, and I live there." Bai Yu pointed to the apartment building, showing them where she lived.

"It's right next to Ran's house!" Sonoko Suzuki exclaimed in surprise.

"What a coincidence?" Bai Yu pushed up her glasses and introduced herself to the high school students somewhat shyly.

"My name is Shiratama Akiko, and I'm a novelist. Are you high school students from around here?"

"Um, my name is Ran Mouri. What kind of novels does Miss Shiratama write?"

"I'm just a third-rate writer with no reputation, barely making ends meet, and I don't have any representative works..."

"Being able to write is quite an achievement!"

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment……"

While chatting, the group helped her carry her things upstairs.

All of them were careful people and wouldn't let the conversation stray off course.

After chatting for a while, their relationship became closer.

They unlocked the key and went inside, and a few other people followed suit and took a look around.

"We just moved in and haven't really settled in yet, so please make yourselves at home. Let me pour you some tea..."

As she spoke, Bai Yu rummaged through the pile of things she had bought, searching for cups.

Ran Mouri looked around the somewhat empty apartment, thinking about adding some greenery to decorate the room.

"No need, please come visit Miss Baiyu's house again next time. I live next door, and if Miss Baiyu has any requests, you can come to my father..."

With that, Ran Mouri took her leave.

No one cared about this little incident; helping out with a small favor is just an ordinary thing in everyday life.

The four entered the Poirot Cafe and saw that Risa Yada was not there. Sonoko Suzuki secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Amuro Tooru's gaze instantly fell on Ran Mouri, a fleeting complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Mr. Amuro, please order!" Sonoko Suzuki called out.

"Ok."

Out of curiosity, Sonoko Suzuki asked, "Is Ms. Yada off today?"

"She resigned."

"Wow, that was fast!"

"It's just a part-time job..."

The group found a place to sit down, and Amuro Tooru served them desserts and drinks.

His gaze fell on Hondou Eisuke, looking at those eyes that resembled Kir's, and he asked curiously:

Who is this?

"This is Bentang, our classmate. He transferred to a school in the United States before, but he's back today."

After introducing Sonoko Suzuki and Tooru Amuro, she turned to introduce Eisuke Hondo:

"This is Mr. Amuro. He can sing, play guitar, play tennis, and he's also a detective... There's practically nothing he can't do. He's amazing!"

Her words were full of admiration for Amuro Tooru.

"That's too much. They're just some minor hobbies."

"Wow, amazing!" Hondou Eisuke looked at the waiter in surprise, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Why would a detective become a waiter?

Amuro Tooru gave them a small cookie and went back to the bar.

While eating the cake, Sonoko Suzuki asked:

"The school festival is in a few days, are you going to attend, Hondou?"

"Are you going to put on a show?"

"No, this year our class is doing role-playing!"

"Your school festival is the day after tomorrow, right?" Amuro Tooru's curious voice came from behind the bar.

"Hmm. Mr. Amuro, are you coming to visit?"

"If I have the time, I'd really like to go and see it."

"There will always be time, but the chance to see our Xiaolan cosplay is not often!"

Sonoko Suzuki loudly promoted Ran's beauty, trying to make every handsome guy swoon.

Beside them, Kaito Kid, who was once again disguised as a customer in the cafe, became interested.

Role-playing? That sounds interesting.

Chapter 277 Can you help me with my homework?

After saying goodbye to a few friends, Ran Mouri returned to the second floor, but there was no one there.

She saw the note her father had left, saying it was with her mother and they would be back together that evening, and asking her to prepare dinner before they returned.

Looking at the homework in her backpack and thinking about her study plan, Ran Mouri was worried.

There's already not enough time, and making dinner will leave even less time.

She really wanted to switch bodies with Mr. Qingze again, so she would have plenty of time to practice her disguise skills and wouldn't have to do her homework...

I may think about it, but there's really no pattern to the exchange of consciousness.

Carrying her schoolbag, she went up to the third floor and took out her phone to send a message to Qingze.

[Mr. Qingze, can you help me with my homework?]

[Qingze: ...]

Qingze, who was organizing the scavenging of drugs in the laboratory base, was speechless.

You actually want him to do his homework? How could you be so delusional?

Back when he faced the books and exercises on his desk that almost blocked his head every day, he never thought of asking someone else to do his homework for him...

Thinking of this, Qingze suddenly stopped, trying to grasp the image that popped into his mind.

However, the more effort you put into finding something that appears unexpectedly, the less likely you are to find it.

He stopped worrying about it and looked at the researcher in charge of guarding the drugs.

Under his gaze, the researchers remained silent, not daring to utter a sound, let alone try to stop him.

Do you have any scar removal medication?

Yes! Yes, there are!

The researcher quickly went to a cabinet. "We've researched several scar removal medications. This one is commercially available, but it requires long-term use, has a slow effect, and is only effective for some superficial scars."
