Chapter 155 Narrator Sonoko Suzuki
Perhaps out of concern for Akutagawa Hikaru's mental state, Conan made a point of having Ran and Sonoko invite Akutagawa Hikaru to watch the baseball game between Beika High School and Shuko Academy.
The people present were either graduates or current students of Beika Academy, or current students and graduates of Shuko Academy. Akutagawa Hiko felt quite out of place.
And to be honest, he can understand some of the other games, but in baseball, he can only understand one home run.
Besides, this competition was really one-sided. Just looking at the scores on the scoreboard, you could tell that the two school teams were not even on the same level.
Shuho Academy's school team won the regional tournament in the Beika area last year, while Beika Academy has not achieved much in this regard.
There was supposed to be a soccer match today that Conan was really interested in, but for the sake of his neighbor's mental health, he resolutely sacrificed his relaxation time and came here to provide commentary for Akutagawa Hiko, who was completely confused by the game.
For example, a pitcher striking out two impressive batters.
Akutagawa Hiko estimated that if he used the technique of throwing hidden weapons, it wouldn't be too difficult to achieve this result. However, although this pitcher was estimated to be over 1.8 meters tall, his fighting ability should not be as good as that of the former Shinichi Kudo.
That doesn't stop others from thinking he's awesome.
For example, Sonoko, who was standing nearby, saw his face through binoculars and started cheering him on.
In his previous life, when Akutagawa Hiko was still young, he couldn't muster any enthusiasm for the episode where the winning banner was cut off, which others described as a watered-down episode. He felt more like a bloodthirsty audience member.
If no one dies, there are no explosions, and no gunfire, what kind of detective anime is that?
If you're looking for slice-of-life content, there are plenty of works that are far superior to Detective Conan.
At that time, I didn't have a deep understanding of things like collective honor, striving for dreams, parents' lack of understanding, subjective intentions of doing things for your own good, and school leaders' focus on college entrance rates.
Now, compared to the new Conan storylines, even the old ones that were lackluster seem quite appealing.
Sonoko Suzuki knew a lot about places where handsome guys frequented, and she began to introduce the middle school to Hiko Akutagawa and the others.
This school is a college prep school, but its image has completely changed since this talented pitcher joined the team and won the regional tournament.
However, Sonoko Suzuki was more concerned about Hiko Akutagawa than the pitcher: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Hiko for many days. I went to the office to look for you, but you weren't there."
Akutagawa Hiko was unaware of this, and Amuro Tooru hadn't told him either; perhaps he was too shocked to remember.
"There was something going on back in my hometown, so I went back to take care of it."
Conan pinpointed the word "hometown" and suspected it might not mean what it said literally, but he had asked before and hadn't gotten any useful information.
"I see. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Akutagawa Hiko shook his head, smiled, and thanked him, "No need, the matter has already been taken care of."
Ran Mouri joined the conversation, saying with a troubled expression, "I recently ran into my dad's old classmate and found out they're having a reunion. I want to bring Conan along, but Dad keeps refusing."
Kogoro Mouri, who was always drinking, complained, "How old are you? What kind of behavior is this, taking you to a class reunion?!"
After saying that, he let out a hiccup.
Akutagawa Hiko became interested. Kogoro Mouri's class reunion—listen to that, what a vocabulary full of criminal connotations! Not to mention a serial murder case, at least one person should die to live up to the Grim Reaper's aura.
It wasn't that Kogoro Mouri didn't want to bring Ran and the other girl along; it was just that domestic travel was too expensive, and his wallet couldn't handle bringing two people with him.
Akutagawa Hiko suggested, "If Uncle Mori isn't taking you, you can just sneak along. We can form our own tour group and go on the trip. Wouldn't it be normal to bump into each other and end up together?"
As it happened, Akutagawa Hiko had been handed out quite a few receipts of all kinds by the kind ladies, and he could look through them later to see if any of them were for places like hot spring inns. He didn't pay much attention to them.
"That's a fantastic idea!"
Sonoko Suzuki was eager to promise that she would cover all the expenses for the trip. Seeing that Ran was somewhat interested, she joked, "Ran, you can try your luck in the lottery and see if you can win a voucher for a hot spring hotel."
Xiaolan looked a little embarrassed and said, "Yuanzi, please stop teasing me. I'm not that lucky."
Akutagawa Hiko and Conan's brainwaves briefly synchronized: hard to say.
Conan has a deep understanding of Ran Mouri's luck, while Akutagawa Hiko, with his God's-eye view, knows even more.
Ran Mouri's luck is more accurately described as good fortune than good luck; she's prone to encountering low-probability events, such as lottery tickets in daily life, and she's also quite likely to run into dangerous situations.
For example, last time, because of his intervention, the amount of coffee increased so much, but Ran Mouri still drank the spiked cup without hesitation and fell into a deep sleep.
If a supermarket really did offer a prize draw for a hot spring hotel, Xiaolan would actually have a good chance of winning.
Just as they were having a good chat, the fans of the Mihana camp suddenly burst into cheers, while the Shugo Academy side was in a very bad state.
Akutagawa glanced at the scoreboard.
Well, Akutagawa still didn't understand; he wasn't paying attention at all when Conan explained the rules.
However, in the column for Beika High School's team, a number other than 0 finally appeared.
"Xiaowei made a mistake!"
Sonoko Suzuki looked somewhat distressed, prompting Akutagawa Hiko to think to himself, "As expected of Sonoko."
Hiko Akutagawa remembered the reason why the pitcher was distracted and made a mistake: it was because he saw a special person, his mother.
He knew very well that his mother would prefer him to follow in his father's footsteps and become a doctor, even though he was the best student in his grade. His mother didn't want him to waste his time on baseball.
He knew very well why his mother had come here: to stop him from participating in the competition.
Although he knew the purpose, he didn't understand the process, so how could he not be distracted?
Ultimately, the inning ended with a home run by the Mihana High School batter, while the ace pitcher clutched his stomach and charged towards the...
bathroom".
During this time, Eto, the former captain of the Xiuhao Academy team, saw that Koo was making frequent mistakes and volunteered to the coach, but it seems that he was rejected.
As for why I know so clearly, it's because Sonoko Suzuki kept explaining it to me.
Akutagawa Hiko secretly admired him. Back when he was in school, he didn't even know much about his own school, except for the classrooms and the cafeteria.
The playground and the teachers' offices, as well as the place where all the students are gathered for meetings.
