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

"There's nothing to do for the time being."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "You just need to keep an eye on Rum. If there's any news from him that's bad for me, Gin, or Vermouth, just let me know."

Besides Gin, there's also Vermouth, right?

Amuro Tooru silently noted this down, somewhat puzzled: "Isn't this exactly a collaboration?"

“That won’t do.” Kudo Kazuma shook his head decisively. “If I say I’m going to work, then I mean I’m going to work. The only reason I’m letting you do nothing right now is because the Kurosawa Group hasn’t even started yet.”

According to his original plan, these things would still take some time.

Who knew that first she would acquire the [Puppet Technique], which would allow Kagemitsu the cat to revert to Morofushi Kagemitsu prematurely, and then she would discover that her butterfly wings could completely influence the black and red protagonists of this world...

So he accelerated the progress of the plan.

The somewhat awkward thing is that the formation of the Kurosawa Group isn't something that can be rushed—so most of his contracted employees are temporarily left with nothing to do…

Amuro Tooru looked at the boy who was clearly working with him but insisted on calling it a part-time job, and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time—this kid really was just like Kagemitsu said, occasionally showing his childish side...

"Fine, I'll work for you then." He asked with a half-smile, "So, how will my salary be calculated?"

Kazuma Kudo waved his hand: "What do you mean, how will it be calculated? I already told you there's nothing for you to do right now. How can you get paid if there's nothing to do?"

Toru Amuro: "..."

"Ah, how about this!" Kudo Kazuma's eyes lit up. "Kurosawa Software is having a new project launch event in a few days. You can help arrange the security! It'll be paid! A high salary!"

Toru Amuro: "..."

Seeing Amuro Tooru's expression, Kudo Kazuma pretended to be embarrassed: "Seriously? You're unhappy when I do things for you when there's nothing to do, but you're still unhappy when I do things for you? You're too difficult to please!"

Toru Amuro: "..."

I've never been more speechless in my entire life than I have in a single day!

He let out a long sigh of relief: "Okay, leave it to me. What about the specific location and date?"

Kudo Kazuma pondered for a moment, then beckoned to Amuro Tooru with his finger and pulled a business card from his pocket.

Amuro Tooru frowned, took the business card, and was speechless again: "Tsugami Yuuki? General Manager of Kurosawa Software? Your assistant? Why would you carry your assistant's business card with you?"

Kudo Kazuma said confidently, "You said he's an assistant! He's been well taken care of with all the subsidies, bonuses, and raises in Tsugami. Contact him later, and I'll text him to tell him I've found the security manager."

When Kudo Kazuma sent a message to Tsugami Yuuki, the younger version of Morofushi Hiromitsu pulled Amuro Tooru aside and specifically pointed out Kudo Kazuma's lazy, hands-off nature.

Toru Amuro: "..."

No, he sounds like a very ambitious kid, but you're telling me he's a hands-off parent?

Can this collaboration... well, this job, continue?

After getting rid of Amuro Tooru, Kudo Kazuma was finally able to go and enjoy the lovemaking he had been longing for.

The next morning, when Kudo Kazuma woke up, he found that his unlucky older brother had sent him a message that morning, asking if he wanted to go buy a phone together in the afternoon.

Kazuma Kudo: "?"

Here's the thing.

At a Sherlock Holmes fan gathering, people are required to hand in their cell phones. Kazuma Kudo and Heiji Hattori, who didn't participate in the Q&A session, didn't hand in theirs at all.

Ran and Kogoro Mouri didn't participate in the activity but obediently handed in their money.

As for Conan, he handed over "Conan's" phone, but not Shinichi Kudo's...

Then, all three of their phones, like everyone else's, were smashed by the murderer, Toyo Kenji.

Conan wanted to pick out a phone for himself and Ran, so he asked Kazuma Kudo if he wanted to come along.

【No! I have things to do at the company! Wouldn't it be better if you went with Xiaolan? I don't need to buy a new phone, why are you asking me?】

He asked Vodka to do a month-long task for him. This birthday present wasn't just a random request—before Bond officially launched, there were quite a few things he had to personally oversee, and they were rather tedious.

After another two weeks of work, Bond was finally officially released before the expected date.

Just before the press conference, Kazuma Kudo held a motivational meeting with all employees, giving them a pep talk.

The so-called "chicken soup" was actually just using the [Sound Bewitching] skill to make these employees, whom he didn't know very well, more loyal to the company and to put his mind at ease—Conan was coming, and he didn't want anyone to die at a time like this.

Kurosawa Software is not a large company, and in terms of reputation, it is only a rising star in the game industry. Therefore, when this press conference was held, not many industry bigwigs were invited, and the participants were not very diverse.

With the added motivational speech beforehand and Amuro Tooru in charge of venue security, the press conference was successfully held.

Not a single murder has occurred yet...

However, another thing that shocked the attendees at the press conference was that Kenzo Masuyama, the chairman of a famous car company, actually attended this software launch event that had nothing to do with the automotive industry.

According to Kenzo Masuyama, this was a personal relationship between him and the president of Kurosawa Software.

After the president finished speaking, Conan curiously leaned over and asked, "Hey, when did you start having connections with such important people?"

Regardless of their industries or ages, there's no way that this brat and someone like Kenzo Masuyama should have any connection!

"You don't know, do you?" Kudo Kazuma whispered to Conan, "Didn't I tell you that I have a big brother outside? This old man has some connections with that big brother, so we've met once."

"You think he's here to give me face, but actually he's indirectly giving face to my older brother."

Conan smirked: "Well, your older brother, heh, he's really something..."

"Ugh! That's so sour!" Kudo Kazuma sniffed hard, asking with a half-smile, "So you get jealous of more than just Ran?"

He reached out and ruffled his older brother's hair: "If you're curious about my older brother, I'll arrange for you two to meet him later."

Conan slapped his bratty younger brother's hand away: "Who's jealous! And what does your older brother have to do with me? You're the star of the press conference today, be serious!"

"Who said your older brother has nothing to do with you?" Kudo Kazuma said, suppressing a laugh. "You even called him 'Dad' on his birthday."

Conan's face darkened, and he glared at him irritably: "Damn it! Is this going to never end?"

If it weren't for the fact that today was Kurosawa Software's press conference, and his brat was the absolute star of the show, he would have definitely kicked the kid.

They actually used his past controversies to make fun of him!

He absolutely cannot let this kid take him to meet some big brother!

He could even imagine how his younger brother would introduce him when he met that older brother.

[Big brother, this is my brother, my own brother—you didn't know, did you? He used to call you 'Dad'!]

How could we let this happen? It's outrageous!
