At this moment, Didan High School seemed like a sea of joy.
School Festival is a festival on Japanese campuses. During the School Festival, each class or club can show itself to its fullest and invite people from outside the school to visit.
At this time, the bustling campus can be seen everywhere with people laughing and shouting. They are either shouting loudly, tasting delicious food, or cheering and making noises. They are so excited.
An auditorium on campus was now decorated like a theater, with seats neatly arranged.
"Wow! Why are there so many people? Are they all here to watch our show?"
Xiaolan hid in the corner of the curtain and peeked her head out. She was a little shocked when she saw people filing in at the door of the auditorium.
Sonoko explained on the side: "Because this drama was highly rated before, and it was even said to be more romantic and beautiful than "Romeo and Juliet"!"
Compared to Xiaolan, the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family did not panic at all at this time, because she did not have to perform like Xiaolan, but had a side job as a housekeeper.
"Hi! Xiaolan!" At this time, a familiar voice came from behind. Xiaolan looked back and saw her good friends Yuan Shan and Ye walking over with a smile.
"Ah! Kazuye, you're here!" Xiaolan greeted him, "Huh? Didn't Hattori come with you?"
Xiaolan looked around and didn't see the dark-skinned old acquaintance.
"Heiji just met your father and Conan. He said he wanted to chat with them first and would come over soon." Kazuye replied with a smile.
She also curiously moved her head closer and asked: "By the way, where is Kudo? Didn't you invite him?"
Xiaolan waved her hands repeatedly: "Yes! I didn't invite him..."
【——But I invited Conan.】
"Really, even her former friends and neighbors were invited, but her husband was not invited..." Yuanzi put her hands on her hips angrily.
Xiaolan pretended not to hear, looked through He Ye, and saw the trio walking together, her eyes lit up.
"Ran." Uncle Maori brought Conan and Heiji closer to him, pressing Conan's head with his right hand, "Really, this guy's cold hasn't completely recovered yet. I originally told him to rest at home, but this guy said he has already.
I told you, I must come..."
"Conan, are you okay with your cold..." Xiaolan bent down and looked at him worriedly.
"Well..." Conan's face was covered tightly by a large mask, and a dull voice came from behind the mask.
"Xiaolan, can you come here? The last line about the line..." At this time, Dr. Shinde, who plays the male protagonist in the play, stopped Xiaolan with the script.
"Conan" glanced at Xiaolan, turned around and walked towards the audience: "I'll go to the audience first."
"Ah..." Xiaolan looked at the direction he was leaving and hesitated to speak.
Sonoko on the side raised his hand to look at his watch and exclaimed: "Oops...there are only fifteen minutes left. Lan, hurry up and change your clothes!"
"Hmm..." Xiaolan agreed subconsciously, her eyes still unwilling to leave Conan's body.
…
Haihara Ai, pretending to be Conan, sat calmly on the seat with her hands folded in front of her.
The lights dimmed, and the noise in the theater slowly turned into whispers.
"Next is a romantic and romantic drama brought by Grade 2 Class B. Please enjoy it!"
The announcer's voice reached everyone's ears through the speakers. Upon hearing the name of this play, the venue was immediately filled with joyful and expectant laughter, mixed with a few sharp whistles.
The curtain slowly opened, and the heroine Mao Lilan appeared in a gorgeous princess costume.
"Oh! Almighty God Zeus! Why do you treat me like this!"
She clasped her fingers together, held it in front of her chest, and sighed affectionately.
"Do you think I should agree to this cursed marriage?"
In the shadow of the stage, Sonoko held the script, opened the curtain covering the backstage, and looked at Dr. Tomaki Shinde who was preparing to go on stage.
"Doctor! It's your turn! Get up there quickly! If you don't get ready quickly... eh!!"
…
On the stage, the drama is slowly unfolding in front of the audience.
It is still the classic old plot. The princess's carriage is stopped by a group of villains. The princess's guards are chopped down by the villains one after another. At the most critical moment, a knight in black appears.
As he appeared, black feathers were flying in the air. A black helmet covered most of his face, and the black knight beat the bad guys away like they were chopping melons and vegetables.
Although it is a cliché plot of a hero saving a beauty, the audience always liked it, and there was a burst of cheers in the venue.
“How cool!”
He Ye looked at the stage attentively and praised with a glowing face.
"You're so cool, that guy..." Heiji muttered in a low voice, looking at "Conan" who had no reaction from the corner of his eye.
Before this, Conan and Haibara Ai had been angry with him, and he knew that at the school festival, the two of them would conspire to deceive Xiaolan and conceal Conan Edogawa's identity.
This also made him give up the idea of disguising Kudo Shinichi to solve problems for his friends, and instead followed the fake Conan to cover for him to prevent any details from being exposed.
Turning her eyes back to the stage, the princess and the knight were already hugging each other. Xiaolan's face was a little red, and she was quite surprised by the actor's unscripted behavior.
She looked up at a loss and saw a place where the audience couldn't see. Yuanzi held up a piece of paper with large characters and waved it in front of her eyes.
【It’s okay! Keep playing!】
Seeing this, Xiaolan felt a little relieved and put her hand on the knight's shoulder.
The princess recognized that the knight who came to save her was the prince with whom she had made an agreement when she was a child. She closed her eyes and slowly moved her face forward.
According to the original script, there was no real kiss here, but the knight in black remained silent and motionless, waiting for the girl's face to gradually come closer, and opened his lips slightly...
The audience in the audience did not expect that the climax of the play would be so exciting, and they all held their breath.
Haiyuan Ai looked at the two people hugging each other on the stage and about to kiss, and frowned slightly.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded next to him.
"The princess and the knight...what a combination that never feels outdated..."
She turned around suddenly and saw a man appearing on the empty seat. The man was holding a glass of drink in his hand, taking a sip from the straw and smacking his lips with satisfaction.
The man tilted his head, looked at the horrified "Edogawa Conan" with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Why, are you surprised to see me here?"
