"By the way, brother, are those missions urgent?"

Seeing that Gin seemed to be in a good mood today, Kudo Kazuma leaned closer and asked, "It's my birthday today, so it's okay to postpone these tasks, right?"

"Within a month."

"It's my birthday today, so asking for a few days off isn't too much to ask, is it?"

"can."

"It's my birthday today," Kudo Kazuma emphasized again, "My birthday..."

With a "snap," something shot straight at Kudo Kazuma's forehead. He reached out and grabbed it: "Car keys? New ones?"

"roll!"

Gin was too lazy to bother with him anymore.

"Hey~"

Kudo Kazuma jogged over and grabbed a familiar-looking guy, excitedly asking him to take him to see the new car.

Haha, it's a brand new Porsche.

Seeing the new Porsche parked next to the old-fashioned Porsche, Kazuma Kudo was speechless.

He still loves his Porsche so much...

This car wasn't actually bought by Gin for himself, but it turns out it was his beloved 356A, so he gave it to himself as a birthday present?

Kazuma Kudo felt that his guess was quite reasonable.

After test driving around the base, he went to find vodka, completely satisfied.

"Huh? A gift?"

Vodka looked completely innocent: "I... I didn't know it was your birthday today..."

"This shows you're not observant enough. My older brother even prepared a gift for me, and you didn't even ask what was going on?"

Kudo Kazuma stared intently at the vodka, his words utterly unreasonable: "I don't care, your beloved older brother has already given you a gift, is it appropriate for you not to?"

"And don't you think about it? Apart from you, I'm too lazy to ask anyone else in the organization for anything."

Vodka was speechless.

Is it because you're not familiar with the other people that you're too lazy to ask for them?

Why not be even lazier and just not ask him for a gift at all?

But Danpo isn't that big, and since the kid asked for a gift, I guess I'll just give it to him...

The problem is that he was completely unprepared and suddenly pulled this stunt. What should he give him?

Vodka hesitated for a moment, then, as if he had made up his mind, said with a pained expression, "How about... how about I give you the treasure I just bought?"

"Two-mix concert tickets! These are VIP tickets, the kind that include a photo opportunity with the singers after the concert!"

Kazuma Kudo: "?"

Is this the most cherished treasure of a die-hard fangirl?

He thought it was something good...

Why would he go to a concert? He doesn't even know who's singing!

In the entire Detective Conan universe, the only celebrities he knows who can sing are Yoko Okino, Kogoro Mouri's idol, and Minami Takayama, who is a guest voice actress for Conan.

I really can't understand fans like Xiao Fufu...

"You said it's your treasure, how could I possibly accept it?" Kudo Kazuma said very sincerely. "How about this, I'll keep the treasure for you, and you can do my tasks for the next month. That will be my gift."

Anyway, he gained dozens of spirit souls yesterday, and there were also a few opportunities to play the big bomb game. He is not afraid of being backfired by Conan in the near future.

Besides, following Conan also brings in spirit souls, doesn't it?

Vodka hesitated for a moment, then thought of the seven tasks Danpo had casually given him, and suddenly realized that helping him with a month's worth of tasks didn't seem like such a difficult thing.

At least this time it saved his concert tickets.

Seeing that Vodka had agreed to the mission, Kudo Kazuma smiled and patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "That's great! By the way, the mission is yours, but the reward for completing it is still mine, okay? It's settled then!"

After saying that, he turned and left, not giving Vodka a chance to refute him.

Vodka: "?"

So, they were just making him work for free?

Danpo is being far too self-righteous!

Vodka, unable to refuse immediately, wore a pained expression.

With the new car, Kudo Kazuma immediately abandoned the car he had randomly picked up from the organization and drove away in the new one.

On his way to Agasa's house, he made a special check to make sure there were no listening, surveillance, or transmitting devices in the car. Then he called Yukiko Kudo to ask about Vermouth buying a watch.

"Huh? She really did buy it for you... I had that suspicion too!"

On the other end of the phone, Yukiko Kudo shared her thoughts: "I think she probably already guessed your relationship with Shinichi. This watch is more of a test to see if you know about your past."

"You don't know, it was just a regular birthday present. If you did, this watch would be like her trump card."

"And if Gin has any doubts about the origin of this watch, no matter who bought it for you, just say that she bought it for you."

Kudo Kazuma pondered for a moment: "So, does that mean I can also reveal my hand to her?"

Not to mention that in the original work, Vermouth's heart and eyes were only for Ran, and Conan was just a side effect.

Speaking of his own experience, apart from Gin, Vermouth was the only one in the entire organization with whom he had a deep relationship—although he suspected that Vermouth initially used him as a substitute for her unlucky older brother.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he trusts Vermouth quite a lot.

"Well, it's up to you. As long as you protect yourself and don't do anything too heinous, we won't interfere with your choices."

Okay, once Vermouth realizes that Conan is her cool guy, we'll find an opportunity to reveal our hand.

The new car quickly stopped outside Professor Agasa's house.

Kudo Kazuma took out the watch Vermouth had given him from the gift box, then took out the red velvet cloth from the gift box, and sure enough, he saw a note and a key underneath.

"Doctor, I'm troubling you again."

Anyway, it was Professor Agasa who arranged for people to retrieve those devices last time, so we might as well not bother the same person again this time.

Doesn't this save him the trouble of making arrangements?

Dr. Agasa took the note and the key, and quickly made a call to arrange for someone to pick up the equipment. Since he had the key this time, he also had to go there.

Seeing the doctor's helpless expression before leaving, Ai smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Doctor. I'll treat you to chocolate cake when I get back."

Upon hearing the word "cake," Dr. Agasa immediately abandoned his helplessness and set off to receive the equipment with renewed fighting spirit.

Kazuma Kudo tilted his head and looked at Ai: "Chocolate cake?"

Ai nodded slightly: "There has to be a cake for a birthday, right? So I'm baking one."

Just then, the doorbell rang. Kudo Kazuma opened the door and saw Ran and Conan arriving with a lot of groceries.

Upon seeing Kazuma Kudo, Ran smiled slightly at him: "What a coincidence, Kazuma! Happy birthday. Dad's at home, so it's not convenient to celebrate Shinichi's birthday here. That's why we came here instead."

So you just left Uncle Mori all alone at home?

Kudo Kazuma exclaimed in admiration, "What a filial daughter and virtuous son-in-law!"

After they finished exchanging pleasantries, Conan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ichima, is that new car outside yours?"

Kazuma Kudo nodded: "Yes, a birthday present."

Conan's eyes widened immediately: "You really asked Dad to buy you a new car?"

Kazuma Kudo: "...Pfft!"

Why would I have a dream where Conan calls Gin "Dad"?
