someone say something stupid, Sonoko? The sentence was grammatically correct, apart from your pronunciation."
While she was still giving evidence, she turned away from the two of them and looked at her pocket watch.
Nevertheless, she did not miss the point of view of how Sonoko's face brightened with the confirmation.Mireille: "Wait a minute! Il n'est pas cinq minutes avant neuf, il est cinq minutes apres neuf! APRES, AFTER nine! Finally, the school clock has already rung five minutes ago.
In other words ... "At that moment she closed the watch, put it back in her pocket and looked up at both of them again.
"..you're five minutes late. I know you're not a friend of my teaching style, Sonoko, but you shouldn't drag other classmates down with you.
Now sit down so we can finally continue! "
She turned and walked back to the blackboard without a word. Just as without a word, Ran and Sonoko went to their seats.

The school day was largely normal after that and it was soon around three in the afternoon.
Just like the last Tuesday, Conan waited quietly for the two of them in front of the classroom.
Ran: "Well, Conan! Did you solve your riddle from this morning?" she spoke to him beaming with joy when she left the classroom with Sonoko.
"Uh puzzles?Oh yes that! You never believe what came out of it! "
'Sometimes it's embarrassing to behave so childishly.' he added in thought.
Suddenly he noticed such a twinkle in Ran's eyes, as if she had been very surprised by the answer. But just as quickly as this expression came, it was gone again and she looked just as happy as she did until a split second before.
Conan: "And you, are you still on time this morning ..."
Sonoko's face darkened suddenly and Ran gave him very clear signs behind her back not to ask any further, so that he broke off.
'It is well known that sleeping dogs should not be wakened, especially if they are already awake with one eye.'
Sonoko: "I would be very happy if I didn't hear a word in French today.
CLEAR?"
"Clear." it came from both at the same time.
"Well, then, maybe we want to have another ice cream? This new café has opened nearby."Ran and Conan began to smile at these words and when they looked at Sonoko in amazement, they couldn't hold back from laughing.
"What's going on now?"
Ran tried to calm down to enlighten Sonoko.
"Well, café is a French word, isn't it?"
Now she looked at her friend a moment in amazement, then angrily, until it slowly lightened up and she joined in the laughter of the others.
"That doesn't count! But sometimes you are also mean!"
She looked at Conan, who hadn't stopped writhing. At that moment Sonoko froze to a pillar of salt.
'The little one can speak French? Or at least, like Ran, he immediately noticed that café is a French word. And then this argument with my watch this morning.
... Where does a small child get such a general education? ...'
Ran: "But you're right, Sonoko. Ice cream like that would be delicious, wouldn't it Conan?"
They strolled through the hallways of the emptying school."Oh yes. That would be really great! I want lemon and ..."
The two girls only noticed when Conan interrupted his sentence: they were listening to music. Piano music from the auditorium.
Sonoko: "I didn't even know that our choir was rehearsing at that time."
"He doesn't either. And I don't know anything about an event." Ran sprinkled quickly while she looked at Conan. He was just about to say something, but now he was silent.
They approached the large entrance to the auditorium and heard the classical music from the auditorium very closely.
Ran opened the door quietly. From the end of the many rows of benches they looked down at the stage with the grand piano on the left. There sat a Japanese-looking girl, probably only a little older than her. They couldn't say for sure, they only saw her from behind. She had black hair, about as long as Sonokos and wore a light gray jacket and a dark denim skirt. She obviously did not belong to the student body.
Sonoko: "Can she just play here on our grand piano?And then music that sounds so sad. "
Ran: "I don't know. Somehow it sounds romantic too."

"That's why it's also called romance."
The three of them turned, startled, to look at Dr. To find Araide.
Araide: "Mourning for civilization on the one hand and fascination for nature on the other were the central motifs of this art movement, which developed in Europe in the 19th century."
While Sonoko and Conan listened intently to him, Ran hesitantly took a step towards him and then backed away in amazement.
Araide: "Hm, is something wrong with me, Ran?"
She looked around uncertainly, then briefly to Conan, who stared at her as incredulously as the others. Then she bowed her head and began uncertainly.
"No, Dr. Araide. It's just, ... uh, ... well, have you ever ... used ... another ... deodorant ...?"
The last words were as soft as a whisper, but they could all hear them and express their now utter confusion.
Sonoko: 'Deodorant?What's broken now? '
Ran would have loved to sink into the ground in shame at the sight of her friends.
Conan: 'Does she mean his smell? Oh no, but not ... '
"Ahem!" the addressed one cleared his throat.
"That's actually none of your business, is it Ran? But ... you're right, unfortunately."
Now he hung his face down as a sign that he had been caught.
"When I moved, Hikaru gave me a new one, probably also to remind me of the amount of physical work that was to come. I never really liked it, but out of politeness, well. I somehow explained to her that I didn't use any deodorant more wishes for a birthday. "
"I see." rather disappointed, she accepted this declaration.
Conan: 'Well acted doctor, compliments! But what did Ran smell back then? The perfume ... of wormwood? Ai once mentioned something about the smell of the organization. But that she noticed it so closely. And why is she noticing this right now. The real Dr. Araide has been back for a while. 'Suddenly the game they were listening to broke off. A short pause, a few seconds of silence followed and Ran was about to speak to the player when she picked up again and started a new melody. This one sounded much sadder than the last and every note penetrated deep into the hearts of the two girls.
Dr. Araide watched the game questioningly for a moment.
"But that is..."
"The Death and the Maiden!
Death and the maiden. From Franz Schubert, if I remember correctly. "
Again everyone turned back to greet Jodie in her group of "auditorium bouncers" this time.
Ran: "Death ..."
Sonoko: "... and the girl?"
Everyone was now staring spellbound at the girl with the black hair who was playing this piece to herself without showing any emotion. Was that an allusion to herself, did she have any problems, or just admiration for the song and its composer? It gave them a shiver.The last tones faded away in the vastness of the great room, silence reigned.
Dead silence.
And this girl.
She straightened her head. Now she must have noticed her audience after all. She turned her head to one side only very slightly to fix it with the corner of her right eye. Then she got up, turned to them, bowed, and walked towards them.
"Excuse me! I hope I haven't done anything illegal. I used to be a student at this school and I'm waiting for a friend here, so I just wanted to use the time and distract myself.
My name is..."
