"You're back, teacher."
Several people greeted her. Uemori Michi had just returned from a beauty treatment and was in a good mood. The woman with the harsh face smiled and nodded: "I'm back. Sorry I'm late today."
However, being in a good mood did not change Michi Kamori's nature. Apart from her own students, including Ran, who was a temporary student, she completely ignored everyone else present, at most glancing at Hiko Akutagawa a few times.
As for Uncle Mori, who took the initiative to strike up a conversation, he was completely ignored.
This social terrorist, a former socialite in the Metropolitan Police Department, couldn't even finish saying the name of this French cuisine teacher who looked unapproachable.
The moment this teacher, whose body shape caused her to ache and her back to ache after a long period of activity, walked into the cooking classroom, the group of people who had been arguing suddenly started to revolve around her, as if they had encountered planets that had encountered the sun.
Kazue Yashiro was also very tactful, showing none of the arrogance she had displayed when she spoke ill of Michi Mori earlier: "By the way, this is the brooch you asked me to fix, and I've already fixed it."
Without a word of thanks, Michiko Uemori casually pointed to the easily accessible counter and said, "Just put it there."
"
Then, while Nishitani Hiroaki was diligently massaging her, she directed Uemori Kaoru to take her pulse.
While Kazue Yashiro was muttering his complaints under his breath, Ran Mouri asked Sonoko Suzuki, who seemed rather uncomfortable, with some concern, "Is something wrong with the teacher?"
Sonoko Suzuki wanted to blurt out something less than elegant, but she managed to hold it back because Hiko Akutagawa was right next to her.
Kazue Yashiro was less concerned, since she knew that the girl couldn't hear her if she spoke softly from so far away.
"Tch, she's just too fat, so every time she comes back from going out, she squeezes Xiao Xun to help her take her pulse." As she said this, her eyes were full of pity as she looked at the girl wearing the one-eyed eyepatch.
"Xiao Xun was a nurse before she got married. Although her husband was an outstanding executive at his company, he was spoiled because he was an only child. He was domineering at home and his behavior was unbearable. Mei Zhi was also the kind of person who would abuse his wife."
Ran has her own network of information about celebrities, even more than Sonoko, who only attended a few classes: "I remember, teacher, her husband died of illness, right?"
"He was a steady and kind old man. If he were still alive, Kaoru would be much better off." When mentioning this person, Kazue Yashiro looked up at the ceiling, her eyes filled with reminiscence, clearly showing that he had a lot to say about him.
While Michiko Uemori went to change her clothes, the others also began to prepare.
No one mentioned it before, but after Nishitani Hiroaki suggested going to the restroom, Ran, thinking that it wouldn't be good to go to the restroom during class, also asked Komiyama Yuko for directions to the restroom.
The four of them walked together and happened to run into Hiroaki Nishitani, who had just come out of the restroom, in the dark corridor.
His eyesight seemed to be failing him; he mistook Ran for Yuko Komiyama until he got closer and saw her distinctive large horn, at which point he apologized and quickly left.
"They actually mistook Ran for Miss Yuko. I still can't understand why the corridor is so dark and the lights aren't on after all these times." Sonoko muttered to herself after Nishitani Hiroaki and Uemori Kaoru had left.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It's not that inconvenient—" Xiaolan waved her hand and advised.
They weren't sure how long it would take Michi Uemori to change, so they decided to make it quick.
Just as Akutagawa Hiko and Conan were washing their hands at the sink, he suddenly saw a white thing on the grass in the yard outside.
"Conan, go and retrieve that thing." After saying that, he handed Conan the smallest size disposable rubber glove.
Conan's hands were still wet, and it took him a while to put on his gloves. He jumped out of the window, picked up something from the ground, and saw that it was a contact lens case.
"How did this thing get here? Did someone drop it there?" Conan returned to the bathroom and handed the glasses case to Akutagawa Hiko.
"It must be Mr. Nishitani's stuff. He seemed to be wearing contact lenses just now, and the color of his eyes was a little different." It's just that this isn't the set of The Legend of the Eyes, otherwise Akutagawa Hiko would have been on guard long ago. Who knows what kind of strange ability it might have.
"Then why throw it away? The location doesn't look like it was dropped accidentally."
"Don't worry about it too much, just keep it safe and return it to Mr. Nishitani when you leave."
Conan nodded, and out of professional courtesy, he wrapped the glasses case with a white handkerchief.
The group waited in the cooking classroom for a while. Everyone who was supposed to attend the class had changed into aprons, and even the menus had been distributed, before the teacher finally arrived.
After announcing the start of class, Michi Uemori read out the dishes they would be making that day, all classic French dishes: mushroom soup, duck with orange sauce, and pear pudding for dessert.
However, when he saw Michiko Uemori's hands, Hiko Akutagawa felt a little uncomfortable.
Even if a chef is highly skilled, they still need to have basic hygiene knowledge. How can they wear jewelry on their hands?
Even if it's just home cooking, what's more important when eating French cuisine is the experience, right? And this person was wearing more than one ring.
As for Hiroaki Nishitani, he also had something in his hand, but it wasn't a ring. Instead, it was a thimble that Kazue Yashiro should be more familiar with, which he would use more often when sewing shoe soles.
Conan clearly noticed the problem as well. After exchanging a glance with Akutagawa Hiko, they immediately decided that if the two of them were to cook, they should leave it to Uncle Mori to handle.
Despite being snubbed, Kogoro Mouri's interest remained high. Upon hearing the menu, he exclaimed, "You're making duck this morning? That's wonderful! To be honest, duck is my favorite food."
This was obviously a compliment; in any case, Akutagawa Hiko had never seen Kogoro Mouri show any preference for duck meat.
Kogoro Mouri's voice displeased Michi Uemori, who glared at him and shouted, "Yuko?!"
Yuko Komiyama apologized repeatedly and quickly separated the two sides with a screen door.
Conan, unable to see Ran, glared at Uncle Mori: "It's all your fault!"
Sonoko couldn't help but reach out, and the thin screen door completely blocked her view of Akutagawa Hiko.
Immediately, the flame of fighting spirit in Sonoko's heart ignited once again.
It doesn't matter if you can't see it, you must let Ah Yan taste my cooking!
Ran apologized to the group on behalf of Kogoro Mouri. After all, the cooking class was still a classroom, and it was impolite for someone to interrupt them while they were having a lesson.
