Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

Kudo Kazuma kept smiling, occasionally letting out a laugh.

He didn't stop until Conan and Ran went inside.

Conan couldn't help but glare at her with half-moon eyes: "Hey, what are you laughing at?"

Kazuma Kudo: "I received a new car as a birthday present."

Conan gritted his teeth: "Damn it! Dad actually bought you a new car! The first thing I'll do when I turn back is get my driver's license!"

Kudo Kazuma couldn't help himself. The thought that Conan had unknowingly called Gin "Dad" twice made him burst into laughter.

Now Conan could easily figure out the problem.

After Kudo Kazuma finished laughing so hard he was out of breath, he patted his younger brother on the back and said irritably, "It's just a mistake, why are you laughing like that?"

Kazuma Kudo: "Ahem... I got a new car as a birthday present. I'm happy, so what's it to you?"

He couldn't explain this to Conan.

It wouldn't be this funny if the person involved were someone else.

For example, if it was Yuki Tsugami who gave him the car, he would just casually make a few sarcastic remarks to the unlucky guy, and then offer some explanation and that would be the end of it.

But this car was a gift from Gin...

No, I can't help but laugh out loud when I think about it.

Conan chuckled irritably, "Be careful not to laugh yourself sick!"

"Besides, we're brothers. How could you laugh at me like that? You don't think you didn't suffer when I mistakenly called that guy 'Dad,' do you?"

Kazuma Kudo: "..."

Did he suffer a loss or not?

From Gin's perspective, he benefited from Conan. But from Conan's perspective...

Kazuma Kudo: "...Never mind, I'll go cook for Ran and Ai."

Before he could even get up, he was rejected by both Ai and Ran.

"Need not."

"You don't need to help with this meal, just wait and eat."

Kazuma Kudo: "..."

Actually, he just wanted to find an excuse to get away from the awkward situation.

Seeing his younger brother's failed attempt to escape, Conan couldn't help but laugh out loud, only to receive a glare from his own brother.

After finally suppressing his laughter, Conan took a brand new box out of his backpack and handed it to Kudo Kazuma.

After Kudo Kazuma took it, he shrugged and said, "I had saved up money to buy a new phone, but Dad bought it for me, so this is yours, a birthday present."

As he spoke, he pulled out his new phone from his pocket and waved it: "Same model."

Kazuma Kudo waved his hand: "Wait for me."

He went out for a while, took a rather heavy box out of the trunk, and when he came back, he slammed it down on Conan: "Birthday present."

"So heavy!" Conan's eyes bulged out from the pressure.

As he unpacked the box, he asked, "You wouldn't be up to any weird hobby, would you?"

"That's something only Mom would do, okay?"

"Really? You're just like that woman in that respect..." Conan retorted, but his eyes lit up when he saw the gift in the box.

"Your favorite Sherlock Holmes set, the complete bilingual collector's edition, no weird taste involved, right?"

Hehe~ Thanks a lot~

After exchanging gifts, Conan began to quietly show off.

"Don't you think I look pretty cool in this red coat I'm wearing today?"

Conan's jacket looks like it's from the same series as Ran's red jacket. Although it's not immediately obvious that they're from different genders or sizes, there are subtle details that make it clear to anyone in the know that they're matching outfits.

Kudo Kazuma chuckled and said, "I don't know if he's handsome or not, but he's quite cute. He looks like a very cute elementary school student."

Even with a child's body and appearance, Conan looks quite handsome in this outfit, but would Kudo Kazuma satisfy him?

Are you kidding me?

Conan, who had been beaming, suddenly narrowed his eyes: "You didn't have to say anything. Besides, Ran bought me a red shirt..."

"It's a pity you're too small now; what you're wearing looks like a dress, doesn't it?"

"Damn it! Shut up!"

Conan was speechless at his bratty younger brother's big mouth.

He shouldn't have used this guy as someone to brag about!

Unfortunately, only a handful of people know his true identity right now, and apart from Kazuma Kudo, no one else is really suitable...

If anyone's to blame, it's Gin who shrunk him!

and also……

His gaze swept across the open kitchen, where he saw a female researcher who had defected from an organization cooking with Xiaolan while standing on a stool, and he pursed his lips helplessly.

He was even counting on Ai Haibara to make the antidote for him...

It really is the Strange Piano Bar.

[That despicable organization! That despicable Gin!]

Next, one brother read a detective novel while the other played on his phone.

Not long after, Professor Agasa returned with someone.

Since these devices weren't actually for the doctor's use, Kudo Kazuma didn't let the other person do it and moved the devices into Ai Haibara's basement research room himself.

After the man left, Conan asked curiously, "Are these devices prepared for Ai Haibara?"

"That's right, without research facilities, how can we research an antidote for you?"

"Did you get this facility?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "I was just a mover; I got someone else to help me with it."

Conan, clearly wanting to get to the bottom of things, asked, "So who got their hands on it? I don't know much about it, but these kinds of sophisticated equipment aren't easy to come by on the market, are they?"

"Don't ask, it's your mother who did it."

Conan was speechless: "What kind of strange statement is that? Isn't my mom your mom?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged.

Although he couldn't explain it to his unfortunate brother, sometimes it really isn't like that...

Xiao Lan's voice came from the open kitchen: "The food is ready. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"The cake is ready too."

Before long, the table was filled with a sumptuous meal, and there was also a black and white chocolate cake on the side.

After dinner, it's time for the classic candle blowing and wishing ritual.

When Kudo Kazuma made his wish, he specifically faced Conan and put his hands together in prayer, showing a very devout attitude.

[Hopefully more and more souls will willingly come to me. Thank you, Death God, and Kormen.]

Conan glanced at his bratty younger brother curiously—he was actually taking this kind of childish trick quite seriously?

After making a show of it, Conan and Kazuma Kudo blew out the candles together.

When it came time to eat the cake, he finally couldn't resist asking curiously, "You were facing me the whole time you made your wish, what does that mean? Did you really make a wish? Something related to me?"

“Yes.” Kudo Kazuma made up a story on the spot. “I just wished that you could turn back to your original form soon. See how good I am to you?”

Ai tilted her head and said, "They say birthday wishes don't come true if you say them out loud."

Conan couldn't help but give a half-moon look.

Even if he doesn't believe in this, there's no need for him to say it out loud, right?

This guy from the Black Organization looks so serious, how come he's just as despicable as my brat?

"Don't worry, I was just kidding." Kudo Kazuma casually ruffled his older brother's hair. "Happy seventh birthday, Conan Edogawa."

Conan: "...Damn it!"
