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

Kudo Kazuma's threats were far too unreasonable.

Kaito Kuroba had no choice but to call out "brother" a few times in frustration.

Kudo Kazuma was in a great mood. After listening to his smug expression, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll only threaten you verbally at most. I won't make up anything about your identity."

The situations of Kaito and Shinichi are different. He is not that familiar with Kaito either, so how could he really expose his identity?

He still has this sense of propriety.

Kaito Kuroba sighed: "So, you came to me purely to acknowledge our kinship and hear me call you 'brother'?"

"It's not just because of that," Kudo Kazuma said, shrugging. "My mother used to learn disguise from Uncle Toichi, you should know something about that, right?"

"I learned some basic disguise techniques from her, but I'm really not good at voice imitation. So... you understand?"

Now it's Kaito Kuroba's turn.

He laughed even more smugly than Kudo Kazuma had just been, a villainous grin spreading across his face: "Alright, since we're brothers, call me Master, and I'll teach you anything you want to learn!"

With his hands in his pockets, Kazuma Kudo tilted his head and asked with a half-smile, "Are you... sure?"

Kaito Kuroba's smug expression froze.

hateful!

His cheap cousin knew many of his weaknesses, but he couldn't control this guy. He was in a very passive position!

Seeing Touko's sullen expression, Kudo Kazuma thought for a moment and said, "How about this... you left a notice on the rooftop of the Beika Hotel back then, were you still planning to steal that Dark Night Star? How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"I bet you'll get caught again someday—if you do, you'll teach me voice imitation. If you escape, you'll still teach me voice imitation, but I can call you master, how about that?"

"Don't worry, even if I don't make a move, you'll still be caught by someone else."

What kind of terrible word choice is this?

Kaito Kuroba said irritably, "Is your confidence based on that little detective? Since you're so sure he can catch me, then of course I'll bet he can't!"

He smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, even if it's just to hear you call me Master, I won't let that little detective catch me!"

Kazuma Kudo patted him on the shoulder: "Good luck! Also, since you've already guessed that Conan is Shinichi Kudo, don't forget that this elementary school student is also your brother~ I'm off now, bye~"

After saying that, he jumped out of the window again and quickly disappeared into the night.

After watching Kudo Kazuma, dressed in all black, disappear into the night, Kuroba Kaito finally let out a long sigh of relief—he still couldn't figure out how the guy had left.

as well as……

Could it be that guy doesn't want to be the only one calling an elementary school student "brother," so he wants to drag him into the brotherhood by recognizing him as a brother?

He suddenly gained a primary school student cousin and a cousin who seemed to have forgotten to take his medicine.

What level of rip-off is this?

……

In the afternoon, after having slept enough, Kazuma Kudo went to the Mouri Detective Agency to ask Conan if the notice left by Kaito Kid indicated that the official date for stealing Dark Night Star was April 19th.

"That's still more than half a month... wait a minute!"

Kudo Kazuma sniffed and asked uncertainly, "Today is April 1st, right?"

"Yup!"

"So our birthday is May 4th, right?"

"Ichima, did you sleep too much last night and your mind isn't clear?"

Kazuma Kudo: "..."

He clearly remembered that it had been a while since his birthday, and just a few days ago it was as hot as midsummer at the beach...

Is it back to April now?

He sneezed, then shook his head and sighed, "The time of learning about Detective Conan is terrifying..."

Conan looked speechless: "What nonsense are you spouting now? And besides, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, being with you will make me healthy."

As he spoke, Kudo Kazuma ruffled his older brother's hair.

This is the result of not receiving any spiritual energy these past two days, and then bragging about enjoying the night breeze last night...

He still has a sniper mission to complete, but he can do it tonight if necessary—it's already afternoon, he can't afford to be so feverish that he can't get out of bed before nightfall, can he?

Conan couldn't help but sigh.

My little brother gets sick if he spends too much time with him. How can I not worry about him?

"Don't worry, don't worry." Kudo Kazuma patted his miniature brother's head again. "I'll just go to my older brother's place later, to stay away from death and be safe."

Conan: "..."

That brat of a brother calls him Death again!

She even deliberately mentioned that "big brother" in front of him... How awful!

Under Conan's deathly gaze, Kudo Kazuma opened the door to leave, only to see Ran walking upstairs before he even stepped out.

"Great! Ichima, you're still here?" Ran smiled at him and said, "Dad just received a call from the butler of the Nagato Group. They're inviting you and Dad to their house. It seems they have some important requests."

Kazuma Kudo and Conan were chatting in their bedroom on the third floor, avoiding Kogoro Mouri. Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri received a phone call at his office on the second floor, and Ran came down to the third floor to inform them.

Kudo Kazuma's eyes lit up when he received the notification.

Hey, the target family has practically invited Death to their doorstep!

Half an hour later, the Nagato Group's car pulled up in front of the Mori office.

An hour later, Kudo Kazuma and the three-person team from his agency arrived at the Nagato Foundation's villa and were led inside by the butler.

"This house is really impressive!"

"As expected of the Nagato Group, which can be compared to the Sonoko family~"

Hearing Ran's remark, the butler smiled and said, "Miss Mori, you know Miss Sonoko? She came here a few times when she was a child."

As they walked and chatted, Kudo Kazuma, who had been walking with his head down and not saying a word, suddenly spoke up: "Uncle, be careful!"

Before he could finish speaking, Kogoro Mori had already fallen to the ground with a "thud".

Kazuma Kudo sighed and stepped forward to help Kogoro Mouri up: "There are several big holes in the ground, uncle. Don't you watch where you're going?"

Feeling embarrassed, Kogoro Mouri said sullenly, "Who wants to walk like you, you brat, watching your feet?"

The old butler quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, we're going to plant trees by the pond next week, so we dug the holes in advance..."

Kudo Kazuma sneezed and looked down at the ground again.

Beside a large pit by the pond was a large mass of black spirits, clearly indicating that a corpse had been buried or was being buried there—that's what he had just been looking down at.

Corpses were buried in the pits where trees were planted. Is this what they mean by "it takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to cultivate a person"?

but……

His gaze swept over the now much-faded soul of the man beside him without leaving a trace, and Kudo Kazuma felt a slight pang of regret.

The man's face was covered in scars, clearly indicating that he wasn't Nagato Mitsuaki's target—so why wasn't it Nagato Mitsuaki who died?

He can't possibly have to do it himself, can he?

By the grace of Death, just send anyone to kill Nagato Mitsuaki, the target of his mission. (Currently, this is a reference to a character named Komon.)

Conan looked at him speechlessly: "Why are you looking at me?"

"It's nothing." Kudo Kazuma shrugged. "The pit is too big and you're too small. Be careful when you walk, or you might fall in."

Conan: "...Heh!"
