Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

Chapter 726 Tequila: Conan dares to bully students?!

"Uncle Long, you..."

Ayumi's small hands struggled to pull Agave, which was many times larger than her, to a corner.

She gestured for Tequila to crouch down, then leaned close to Tequila's ear and whispered something.

"Have you noticed that Conan is acting a little strange...?"

"Conan?"

Tequila was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized.

Oh, I see. So it was about Conan...

It seems that it wasn't just them who discovered Conan's involvement; these kids are quite perceptive after all...

"Um,"

Thinking of this, Tequila couldn't help but smile.

"Ayumi, are you saying that Conan hasn't been playing with you guys as much lately?"

Ayumi nodded.

Tequila's smile became even gentler.

"Don't overthink it, I asked Conan about it before."

He said he was just busy with family matters lately, so...

"Liar!"

Ayumi, clutching the hem of her dress with both hands, said to Tequila...

"Conan is lying to you!"

"Ah?!"

Tequila was truly stunned this time.

What's going on? Is that brat Conan lying?

Ayumi is still so confident?

Could it be that she knows some secret...?

"No way?"

Agave was somewhat skeptical.

Although he felt that Conan was indeed quite intelligent, children of this age should be relatively innocent, and he couldn't understand why Conan would deliberately distance himself from the other children...

"Really, really,"

Afraid that Agave wouldn't believe her, Ayumi quickly said...

"Although I don't know if Conan is telling the truth, Ayumi thinks he's lying!"

"hehe,"

Upon hearing this, Agave couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Sure enough, the child is still very cute. Ayumi didn't discover any secret; she just simply didn't want to believe it...

However, it's best not to expose them at this point; just go along with it...

Tequila thought to himself.

"Could Ayumi tell Uncle Long?"

Tequila ruffled Ayumi's hair and said with a smile,

Why do you think Conan is lying?

"He can't just suddenly decide he doesn't want to play with you guys anymore, can he?..."

"No, it's not,"

Ayumi tried her best to explain to Tequila,

"It's not that Conan doesn't want to play with Ayumi, nor that he doesn't want to play with Mitsuhiko and Genta, it's that he..."

"He doesn't want to play with Ai!"

Ayumi's surprising words made Tequila's eyes widen in astonishment.

WTF? !

How could Ayumi speak so logically and convincingly, as if it were the truth...?

Isn't Conan forming a clique and isolating others?

"Why...why..."

Tequila was somewhat shocked by the child's words, and a question slipped out unconsciously.

At this moment, Ayumi did not answer immediately, but instead began to tug at the hem of her clothes again.

She pursed her lips, as if the words to be spoken were difficult to utter...

Upon seeing this, a strange flame ignited within Agave.

Damn it, is Conan really forming a clique and isolating others?!

I'm so glad I used to think this kid was clever and quick-witted. Even though he wasn't exactly well-behaved, he wasn't unpleasant to dislike; in fact, I quite liked him...

Unexpectedly, this kid went astray and started engaging in bullying at such a young age...

The bully was such a cute little girl...................

You know, Cohen was bullied at school and ended up like this...

The thought of such a cute little girl becoming as 'fragile' as Cohen in the future only fueled Long Qilan's anger.

Damn it, I'm going to give Conan a good beating when I get back. I can't stand school bullying...

“Dragon, Uncle Dragon,”

After hesitating for a long time, Ayumi finally spoke.

She tilted her head back, looking intently at the tequila, her big eyes blinking.

"What Ayumi tells you later, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else, okay......................"

"Mmm..."

Agave nodded rather perfunctorily.

Not telling them was impossible; I absolutely couldn't let Conan bully me like this. I'd report them to their teacher, Ms. Kobayashi, right away...

"actually,"

Ayumi leaned close to Tequila's ear and spoke slowly.

"I think the reason Conan doesn't want to play with Ai is..."

"It's because of me..."

"because of you?"

At this point, Agave was completely bewildered.

No, why can't he understand what kids are saying these days?

What do you mean by "because of you"? What did you do again, my darling.....................

"Um,"

Ayumi nodded, a hint of sadness on her face.

"Conan, he must be deliberately not playing with Ai because he likes me."

"He's smart. He could tell that Ai liked him too, but he liked me. He deliberately distanced himself from Ai so that I wouldn't misunderstand."

"I...I like him too, but...but..."

"I don't want Ai to be isolated either..."
