# Chapter 396: Highness? Captive Crow!
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko was confused. "Really?"
"For example," Teacher Judy touched her chin, pretending to recall, and said in her weird accent, "British English and American English are different in many places. Even British pronunciation is just the accent of the London and Oxford region. There are also many dialect accents with very different pronunciation that are completely unintelligible. Moreover, the unique accent of the London accent is just like the foggy, rarely sunny London, always making people feel melancholy and not enough sunshine..."
Mouri Ran: "..."
Suzuki Sonoko: "..."
Conan: "..."
Initially, it seemed like an English Teacher doing popular science education about English knowledge, but afterwards, wasn't it a bit... starting to tease others?
"And many British Person don't really like the flashy tone and body language of American People when they speak," Chi Feichi said. "They like even less some of their vulgar remarks, finding them rude, lacking culture, and taste, like nouveau riche."
"Conversely," Teacher Judy said smilingly, "many American People feel that British Person are arrogant and rigid, too deep and introverted, and also overly particular about those tedious and complex etiquette. They also like self-mockery and self-deprecating humor, and also like the irony speech pattern, not direct enough..."
"Then, the humorous way of American People is probably to tease people with clumsy language and behavior, often without considering whether the person being teased is embarrassed," Chi Feichi's tone was still calm. "Moreover, American People like people who can say and talk well, so it's easy to choose many boastful Dolt."
"Do- Dolt..." Mouri Ran was stunned.
Teacher Judy kept a smile on her face. "And Britain, because it overly focuses on class and background, it's easy to choose some flower stands who only have background but no actual ability. Moreover, many British Person are extreme in emotion control, either they don't drink alcohol, or they drink until they die, either they have a serious face on the floor, or they laugh until they have convulsions like a Children. It's the same during gatherings, either they sit like wood, or they go mad to the point of being carried out by Security Guard..."
"American People are addicted to social interaction, they like to brag when they gather together, and the gun culture is terrifying and they like to emphasize conflict..."
"British Person are just the opposite, they don't like others asking too much about their privacy, including work, age, salary, residence, but they also don't like to say their name, profession, position, etc., as soon as they meet, feeling that they only have dignity if someone introduces them. The relationship between people is too indifferent, lacking human touch..."
"American People, on the other hand, want to grab the focus of others' line of sight as soon as they arrive..."
"British Person..."
"Ame..."
"Bri..."
Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Conan all broke out in a cold sweat.
If they kept saying so, they would provoke regional conflict.
Teacher Judy stopped at the right time and smiled at Chi Feichi, "Of course, British men are famously known for their gentlemanly demeanor."
"Actually, many British Person also like the sunshine of America, and become more cheerful after they arrive in America." Chi Feichi said.
Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Conan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, they didn't fight...
"However, I am not a British Person." Chi Feichi said.
The smile on Teacher Judy's face froze for a second, feeling a faint prickling in her chest again.
Right, Chi Feichi is not a British Person, what did her half-day of teasing and mockery have to do with him?
But she is an American People!
Moreover, it seemingly was she who started the teasing duel initially, it felt like she dug a pit and buried herself...
Conan: "..."
His choice was indeed extremely correct. If he was tricked by Chi Feichi, he would just endure it. Anyway, it was just a small frustration, it would pass if he endured it a bit. Never confront him boldly and attempt to turn the tables, otherwise the outcome would definitely be unbearably depressed.
See, another bold person was dealt with by Chi Feichi.
He should have reminded Teacher Judy earlier: Don't look at Chi Feichi's usual indifferent face, not wanting to pay attention to people and not being good at communication. Actually, he is venomous-tongued, petty, and scheming, likes to trick people, and is also good at angering people...
"Um..." Mouri Ran said with a dry smile to smooth things over, "Actually, I think it's all okay, it sounds very interesting!"
Suzuki Sonoko nodded. Listening to these two teasing each other was truly interesting and broadened her knowledge.
Teacher Judy tried hard to forget the depression just now and smiled, "However, Mr. Chi's case solving is truly as amazing as Holmes living in that old era London! Just like on the day of the Teitan School Festival!"
"Right?" Suzuki Sonoko said actively, "Much stronger than that narcissist Kudo Shinichi, right?"
Conan: "..."
Why drag him into it?
"Kudo Shinichi? Is that the boy from the School Festival?" Teacher Judy smiled and blinked. "He's also cool!"
"He's not as amazing as you say," Mouri Ran was a little sorry. "Teacher Judy, we need to turn at that Intersection there to go home, what about you?"
"I'm not going the same way as you, let's separate here." Teacher Judy said.
"Goodbye, Teacher Judy!" Suzuki Sonoko waved.
"Then see you tomorrow!" Teacher Judy also waved her hand. After she turned around, her voice lowered a bit, "Bye bye cool guy... bye bye cold highness..."
"Huh?" Mouri Ran looked at Teacher Judy's figure with doubt.
"High- Highness?" Suzuki Sonoko was also confused. "Who is Teacher Judy talking about?"
Conan also looked at Teacher Judy's figure, not knowing what he was thinking.
Initially, he thought that 'cool guy' was referring to Chi Feichi, but compared to the 'cold highness' afterwards, the latter seemed more like referring to Chi Feichi.
Highness? What is this weird appellation?
And if the latter appellation refers to Chi Feichi, then who is the former appellation referring to? Him?
But for Children, cool kid or cool boy would be more suitable, right? Cool guy is used to refer to youth male. As an English Teacher who is an American People, she should not make this mistake...
Chi Feichi was also stunned for a moment.
Did Belmode also hang his photo?
...
"cold highness?"
On the Dining Table in the Apartment Kitchen, Feichi used its tail to swing the kendama. Without even looking, it very skillfully used the big cup to catch the kendama ball. "Is it Belmode?"
"It should be something Belmode wrote on my photo, and Teacher Judy saw it." Chi Feichi stood in front of the cutting board and cut two fish pieces for Feichi, and cut a piece of apple for Feimo, before he started preparing dinner.
"Why cold highness?" Feimo pecked at the apple, tilted its head and pondered. "Does it think Master is like Your Highness Prince? It feels very childish, like acting in a stage play..."
"People who understand me will probably know that the Kingdom related to my background are Japan and Britain. If Highness refers to the Royal Family..."
Chi Feichi cut the potato that had been peeled before, calmly analyzed, "Japan, Royal Family, Crow, there's no meaning when put together. However, Britain, Royal Family, Crow, can be linked to a very interesting legend."
Feichi swallowed the fish pieces in two bites, waiting to hear the story.
"There is a legend in Britain that if all the Crow in the London Tower leave, the Kingdom of Britain and the London Tower will collapse," Chi Feichi focused his gaze downwards at the potato on the cutting board, slicing them evenly. "In order to respect this ancient legend, the British Royal Family still bears the expenses to raise Crow in the London Tower. It is said that as long as there are Crow in the Tower, England will not be invaded. Conversely, the Country will suffer bad luck. So, although the Crow in the London Tower are well cared for, in order to ensure they don't leave, part of their wings are actually cut off, and they have lost their flying ability. That is, they are carefully cared for, but have been restricted by some means and lost their freedom... captive Crow."
"Master, did Belmode betray you then?" Feichi swung its tail again, and leaped up to catch the kendama ball with the small cup. "Will others be able to see the hidden meaning in it?"
"Actually, I'm not sure if that's the intention," Chi Feichi put the potato slices into a bowl and started cutting meat slices, without lifting his head, "Perhaps I associated it with my predicament and was a bit overly sensitive. However, it's not easy for others to read this meaning, because the appellation Highness... is like teasing, and you also have to associate it with the keyword 'Britain' and 'Crow'."
"Master, even if others don't realize 'Captive Crow', they will still suspect you, right?" Feimo raised a question. "Belmode wrote words like 'Highness' on your photo, which makes it easy for people to conjecture that your status in the Organization is not low, and maybe they will even suspect that you have some relationship with the Organization Boss."
"Don't worry, they won't," Chi Feichi said in a low voice, "Akai Shuichi knows the Organization's rules. No matter who it is, they use code names to refer to each other. It's impossible for an appellation like Highness to appear, so he won't associate it with the Organization's direction. Conan might suspect, but the FBI's attitude will impact his judgment. Today's mislead is already enough."
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Feichi and Feimo were confused.
What happened today? Did they miss some good show?
"Hurry up and have meals and aid digestion, I'll take you to play with Amuro later." Chi Feichi didn't explain, turned around and put the cut dish on the Stove.
These two dolt are addicted to kendama and refuse to go out with him, and they still want to know what he did today?
Dreaming!
Feimo shrunk its body. Why did it feel like the temperature suddenly descended a bit?
Chi Feichi continued to cut other dish without saying anything more.
Perhaps Belmode was not only reminding Conan and Akai Shuichi, but also reminding him, and the possibility of reminding him is a bit higher.
As a schemer, Belmode intentionally let the FBI see those photos, and should also guess that Teacher Judy would intentionally reveal a bit of the words on the photo in order to test them.
cold highness, this appellation will also be known by him.
It's almost telling him: The Boss is good to you, but you have been restricted by the Organization using some means, and have lost your freedom, or rather, your self!
Yes, according to general situation, he should not know that he has suffered 'brainwashing'. Even if he sensed something unusual, he will quickly be impacted by the ideology of 'absolutely loyal to the Organization' and dismiss the suspicion.
Belmode planted a fuse in him, a fuse that might impact the ideology of 'absolutely loyal to the Organization' after he sensed the truth.
Of course, Belmode doing this is not for him.
Once he has disloyalty and others sense something unusual, he himself will be in danger.
Belmode is probably thinking that, should his self ideology win against the Organization's brainwashing ideology, he will be a great formidable enemy to the Organization again. Even if he doesn't win, even if it only wavers a bit, when he discovers something, maybe he will let go of Conan because of their relationship?
Or, as long as he shows signs of 'control effect not good', Belmode can apply to The Boss, come up with a bad idea, and send him to Other Places, either Imprisonment or Supervision, truly becoming a Crow in the London Tower, which is better than wandering around Conan and Mouri Ran all day.
Truly set a good trap.
But Belmode probably doesn't know that the competition has already ended, and his self ideology has always been dominant, there is no brainwashing ideology at all.
This means that he will not have the 'intense competition of ideology' that Belmode expected, and he will do what he should do.
