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

"Who are you?"

Since he couldn't keep up his poker face, Kaito Kuroba stopped pretending and even his tone became a little serious.

But deep down, he felt a little broken.

How should he handle it when someone is unreasonable and forces him to call him "brother"? His father didn't teach him that either!

Kudo Kazuma sighed in silence.

So, Kaito Kuroba didn't know about this either?

Is this a lack of familial affection between Toichi Kuroba and Yusaku Kudo, or is Aoyama Gosho just doing something inhuman again?

He noticed that the police officers on the rooftop were about to leave, so he simply pulled Kuroba Kaito along the escalator to the stairwell on the next floor: "You're not supposed to be here right now, little brother, are you?"

"How about this, you call me 'brother' first, then tell me where you want to go, and I'll come find you in a bit. We can then discuss this matter properly, okay?"

Kaito Kuroba, wearing a disguised face, asked, "You look younger than me, so why do I call you 'brother' instead of you calling me 'brother'? By the way, who are you anyway?"

Even if it's that Shinichi Kudo or Kazuma Edogawa, they don't really have much to do with him, right?

"You dare to take off your disguise and speak, little brother? I only let you call me 'brother' because I'm older than you!"

Noticing Kaito Kuroba's slightly broken state, Kazuma Kudo pursed his lips: "If all else fails... why don't you call your mom and ask if you have an older brother?"

Touko's mother, Chikage Kuroba, might not be aware of his existence, but she certainly knows about her nephew, Shinichi Kudo...

Right?

"What are you talking about? Why are you asking about my mom?!"

Because you don't know your dad is still alive, you can only ask your mom...

Seeing Kaito Kuroba's slightly twitching lips, Kazuma Kudo suddenly chuckled again—he knew without a doubt that Toto must have thought he was talking about his brother, just like Yusaku Kudo had done when he mentioned Kaito Kuroba before.

"Never mind if you don't want to ask..." Kudo Kazuma gripped Kuroba Kaito's hand a little tighter. "Come on, little brother, tell me where we'll meet in a bit, or you can just call me 'brother' and skip the formalities."

"Inspector Nakamori is still here. If you don't tell me soon, I'm calling him over!"

Not only did he talk, he also dragged Kaito Kuroba upstairs.

"Hey, hey, hey...wait a minute!" Seeing that this guy was really going to drag him upstairs, Kuroba Kaito quickly gave him an address.

"Meet me here in half an hour. Don't blame me if you can't make it!"

Kudo Kazuma let go of his hand: "Alright, don't try anything funny, little brother~ You don't want me to deliver the whole fish feast to old man Terai's bar, do you?"

Kaito Kuroba: "..."

The poker face is long gone. The current Kaito Kuroba is probably no different from Conan when he just watched him play with the walkie-talkie. His worldview is about to be struck by lightning.

No, how does he know everything?

If someone else had said that, he would have felt a strong sense of crisis. But the guy in front of him, who kept talking about his younger brother, had a face that looked almost exactly like his.

Moreover, he didn't perceive any malice directed at him—instead, there was an undisguised sense of wickedness in it…

Since he knew absolutely nothing about Kazuma Kudo, Kaito Kuroba didn't say anything, only throwing out "See you in half an hour," and then it was a smokescreen...

Before I could leave, my arm was grabbed again.

"Let's go, why throw a smoke bomb?" Kudo Kazuma pulled him out of the smoke bomb's range. "You're not Kaito Kid anymore, you're a disguised police officer. Walk normally, bro!"

Kaito Kuroba: "...Goodbye!"

This time, Kudo Kazuma didn't hold on to him; he easily broke free and went down the stairs.

Half an hour later, on the 14th floor of the Mihua Restaurant, in room 1412.

Kaito Kuroba, having removed his disguise, glanced at the wall clock: "One minute left."

"Young master, hotel security is much stricter at night than during the day. That person wouldn't be able to get in without a hotel room key, right?"

"Huh? He didn't object when I gave him the address..."

A crisp knocking sound came from the direction of the window, and Kaito Kuroba and Kinosuke Terai turned their heads to look out the window together.

A face strikingly similar to Kaito Kuroba appeared outside the window, silently saying to them, "I'm here."

The night wind was strong, blowing his hair into a mess, making it look almost like Kaito Kuroba's hairstyle...

Kaito Kuroba turned his head and glanced at the wall clock.

Exactly half an hour...

wrong!

He suddenly looked up at the people outside the window—this was the fourteenth floor!

There weren't even any air conditioner outdoor units or water pipes around!

How did this guy, who is either Shinichi Kudo or Kazuma Edogawa, end up here?

Forget about keeping a poker face, this time he couldn't hold back anymore. He ran to the window, opened it, and looked outside.

Kudo Kazuma took the opportunity to push him aside and slipped into the room through the window.

"My goodness, it's so windy outside! You actually managed to pretend with Conan for so long in the wind, that's impressive, little brother!"

After entering, he first tidied his wind-blown hair and clothes before greeting Terai Kinosuke: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Terai."

Terai Kinosuke was also a little confused: "You're Mr. Kudo's... wait, how did you just float out of thin air?"

With Kaito's knowledge of magic, how could he not figure out how this person was floating in mid-air? Is that even scientifically possible?

Kaito Kuroba also looked at Kazuma Kudo with an intense gaze.

"Want to know?" Kudo Kazuma tilted his head. "Call me 'brother' and I'll tell you."

Kaito Kuroba hesitated for a moment before reluctantly asking, "...Brother...so how did you manage to float outside the fourteenth floor?"

"Of course I'll use the cheat!" Kudo Kazuma was visibly happy. "Oh my god, I'm finally not the youngest anymore! Quick! Shout it again so I can hear it!"

He didn't really mind that he was younger than Shinichi Kudo. What bothered him was that he was only ten minutes younger than Shinichi Kudo, but he had to call him "brother"—and what was most infuriating was that he now had to call Conan, this elementary school student, "brother."

It's very much like Conan's philosophy, but it's also incredibly unfair, isn't it?

Now he's finally reunited with his beloved cousin, and finally someone calls him "brother"!

"Hanging?" Kaito Kuroba pondered for a moment, vaguely guessing that he might have used a helicopter or something similar to "hang" himself in mid-air.

When he finally figured it out and went to look at Kudo Kazuma again, he found him still basking in his own glory, leaving him speechless.

"Hey! You're not Shinichi Kudo, are you?"

"I asked my mom, and I do have a cousin. If I'm not mistaken, Shinichi Kudo should be that arrogant little detective from before... So who are you? Impersonating Shinichi Kudo?"

In fact, he wasn't without ideas about the identity of the man in front of him, Edogawa Kazuma.

Knowing that his father, Kuroba Toichi, and Kudo Yusaku are twin brothers, and knowing that this Edogawa Kazuma often interacts with Edogawa Conan, it's not hard to guess this guy's identity.

But the more this was the case, the less he wanted to admit that the person in front of him, who was still grinning foolishly and seemed a little mentally unstable, was also his cousin…

Kudo Kazuma could tell what Kuroba Kaito was thinking just by looking at his expression.

"Since you've already guessed it, why don't you hurry up and call me 'brother'?" He tilted his head, revealing a wicked smile. "You probably don't want that Miss Nakamori to know the identity of Phantom Thief Kid, do you?"

Kaito Kuroba's face immediately darkened.

No! How does he know everything?
