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

When eating the cake, Kazuma Kudo specially saved a large piece for Kogoro Mouri.

"Xiao Lan, when you go back later, do you want to help Uncle Mori take some with him? He's home alone, he might not have dinner."

Xiaolan thanked him first, then smiled and shook her head: "Dad will order takeout."

"Speaking of which, I got a call from Mantang today. They said the game based on my dad's crime-solving, 'Detective Kogoro Mouri's Mystery House,' is finished and they're inviting him to the game's launch event the day after tomorrow."

"Shinichi and I will be going too, Kazuma, do you want to come?"

"I received the notification today as well," Kudo Kazuma said with a smile. "After all, our company's games have gained some fame in the gaming industry, so we were invited. We'll see you there."

I don't know when Tequila's injuries healed, but Gin said that his trading mission is finally going to move forward—he arranged to meet Hideaki Nakajima at the Mantek press conference.

Press conferences are great; the more people there are, the more exciting it becomes.

That way, he wouldn't let down the bomb he exchanged for with points in the system shop.

Two days later, the game launch event for Full Paradise officially began.

Almost everyone with any connection to the gaming industry came, and the place was packed with people; even the item storage area had a long queue.

After Kudo Kazuma brought Tsugami Yuuki in, he made a phone call and searched around for a while before finally finding Kogoro Mouri, who looked like he was still hungover and was leaning against a pillar in a daze, with Ran and Conan beside him looking helpless.

"You've arrived quite early. What's wrong, uncle?"

"Ah, Kazuma?" Kogoro Mouri covered his head with one hand, waved his hand, and said, "I, uh... I'm fine..."

Xiaolan sighed, "Dad was so happy last night that he insisted on having an early celebration and drank way too much. He hasn't recovered yet."

Kogoro Mouri stubbornly insisted, "No way! I only drank five or six glasses of gin and vodka..."

Conan looked up alertly.

Kudo Kazuma shook his head helplessly.

These two bottles of wine were given to Kogoro Mouri after he tricked Conan last time.

He chuckled and beckoned Tsugami Yuuki over, introducing him to everyone as, "This is my assistant, my friend, Tsugami Yuuki."

"Tsugami, this is the famous detective Kogoro Mouri. These two are Detective Mouri's daughter and Conan Edogawa, who is being raised by him."

After exchanging greetings, Tsugami Yuuki asked curiously, "Sir... cough, young master, this is Edogawa-kun..."

He looks remarkably like the company president, and they even share the same surname. Are they related?

Kudo Kazuma seemed to see through Tsugami Yuuki's thoughts, and snapped his fingers with a smile: "Yes, my younger brother, my own flesh and blood."

Conan: "..."

While inwardly cursing his bratty younger brother, he had to put on a cute, elementary school student's act, smiling obediently as he greeted Tsugami Yuuki: "Hello, Tsugami-nii-san~"

After exchanging greetings, Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and Yuuki Tsugami went to line up to store their belongings.

Kazuma Kudo and Conan stayed by the pillar to wait for them.

From afar, Kudo Kazuma saw three people taking advantage of chatting with Kogoro Mouri to cut in front of Ran and Yuuki Tsugami, and he snorted in dissatisfaction.

Conan frowned slightly: "These three people's file bags look exactly the same, they seem to be the standard employee file bags from Mantang..."

"What's wrong? Does being an employee mean you can cut in line?"

Kudo Kazuma twitched the corner of his mouth.

If one of these three people wasn't the murderer, the intended victim, and someone he had the HR manager try to poach, wouldn't he have gone up there and made them pay?

Shortly after the items were stored, the press conference officially began.

Kogoro Mouri, who is the prototype for one of the games featured in this press conference, naturally had to take the stage.

Yuki Tsugami, on the other hand, needs to make more contact with software companies in such occasions to pave the way for their upcoming Bond product.

"So...you're here today representing the company, for work, right? Is your job just playing video games?"

Conan looked speechlessly at his bratty younger brother, who was dressed in a black suit.

At the press conference, many new and existing video games from the company were also exhibited, and Ran and Conan, who had nothing to do, kept trying them out.

Meanwhile, Kudo Kazuma, who should have been working, was also playing these video games with them, and even seemed to enjoy them more than they did.

"I'm just too lazy to do those things, that's why I keep giving Tsugami raises. As my assistant, Tsugami is absolutely fantastic, okay?"

Kudo Kazuma, resting his chin on his hand, watched as Ran, in the fighting game, simply mashed buttons randomly and miraculously managed to unleash a powerful attack that defeated Conan's character. He couldn't help but admire her skill.

As expected of the European Emperor Orchid.

"What incredible luck!" Conan glared at Kudo Kazuma, "You! Win this back for me!"

Kazuma Kudo was speechless.

Under Ran's tutelage, Conan's acting is so natural now, he really looks like a child throwing a tantrum...

He pointed to the popular punching power testing machine next to him: "I'm not getting involved in your business. I think we should go play that instead."

This thing looks like a machine used to test combat power at some martial arts tournament. He really wanted to go up and throw a punch to see how well he could control it.

Ran, who won a round by luck, immediately gave up the fighting game, grabbed Conan's hand, and dragged him toward the punching power testing machine.

As they passed by, they saw a burly man throw a punch that spelled out "246".

The enthusiastic staff member of Mantiantang, one of the three who cut in line, who was enthusiastically introducing the game, and the culprit Takeshita, first praised the punching power, then sighed, "What a pity, if the punching power exceeded 250 points, there would have been even more dazzling special effects."

As he spoke, he called out to the second of the three who had cut in line, Nakajima, the originally slated victim: "Nakajima, do you want to try your punches?"

"Okay."

Nakajima took off his coat and handed it to Takeshita. After putting on his boxing gloves, he focused his energy and threw a punch.

The number "348" was displayed accompanied by more dazzling special effects.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Ran looked at Nakajima with admiration. "Mr. Nakajima, you've trained in the power of that punch, haven't you?"

"Yes, I learned a little bit about it in college."

“Nakajima is really good at boxing,” Takeshita said, handing the boxing gloves to Ran. “Miss Mori, would you like to give it a try?”

In front of these people she knew but wasn't familiar with, Xiaolan waved her hand somewhat shyly, "No, thank you..."

"Just give it a try, it can relieve stress!"

"Relieve stress?"

Ran's gaze fell on Conan beside her...

Conan shrank his neck.

"Hmph!" Xiao Lan's entire demeanor changed. She put on her boxing gloves and walked in front of the machine.

Her gaze darted back and forth between Conan and the machine twice, then suddenly she let out a low shout and threw a straight punch...

Kudo Kazuma patted his older brother, who was shrugging his neck, and pointed to the gleaming "400" on the screen, saying, "See that? 400. That's the machine's limit, not Ran's."

"Look at the way Xiaolan looked at you just now. Tsk tsk... I suggest you behave yourself in the future, so you don't get punched like that..."

Conan's face darkened: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute, damn it!"
