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

Akemi Miyano's puppet body was not prepared in advance, but was newly sculpted on the spot. It will take one or two days to activate it with the Puppet Heart.

So for the next two days, Ai Haibara and Akemi stayed at the Edogawa residence, and will return to the Agasa residence after the puppet body is fully activated.

However, they didn't seem uncomfortable at all.

After all, when Morofushi Kagemitsu saw that the two sisters had moved in, he went to find Amuro Tooru without much thought.

The only thing that might give them a headache is how to explain to Professor Agasa how Miyano Akemi—that is, Haibara Haruka—came into the world.

After helping Miyano Akemi regain her human form, Kudo Kazuma became busy with company matters.

At the Suzuki Group's 60th anniversary celebration, he unexpectedly made an appearance in front of the company's executives and heirs, which in itself had a positive impact on Bond's publicity.

Following that, the cars delivered by Balin Motors to Kurosawa Software Company further enhanced its image in the eyes of those companies and conglomerates.

The gift, personally selected by Kenzo Masuyama, chairman of Balin Motors, as a birthday present for the president of Kurosawa Software, was already quite a gimmick. Masuyama even hired several reporters to promote the event.

Kudo Kazuma suspected that the old man was making a fuss over nothing, and that he was just coming to him to admit defeat because he had seen Gin's attitude towards him last time.

However, free publicity is always welcome, so Kazuma Kudo took the opportunity to have Yuuki Tsugami release an advertisement featuring the famous actress Chris Vineyard, who specially promoted Bond.

This made Kurosawa Software, which was already a rising star, and its chat software Bond a hot new force in the software industry.

In addition, the ability to send voice messages, pictures, and even emojis while chatting was a novel experience at the time, and almost every young person had Bond downloaded on their phone.

In just over a month since the Bond launch, Kurosawa Software has transformed from a barely recognizable game software company into a dark horse in the electronic software industry…

The company is developing rapidly, and Yuki Tsugami is extremely busy. The company's employees are also busy with maintenance and training new employees.

And Kudo Kazuma...

After giving his employees generous bonuses, he, the hands-off boss, happily went skiing with Conan, Ran, and Sonoko...

"Oh, I wonder if I'll meet my Prince Charming while skiing!"

The sounds of the garden echoed through the snow, drifting further and further away.

Xiaolan followed steadily beside Yuanzi.

Kazuma Kudo and Conan lagged behind the two.

“I see that almost everyone at the ski resort is in a couple. I don’t know what Sonoko is thinking. There’s no Prince Charming at a ski resort…” Kudo Kazuma couldn’t help but complain. “She’s more suited to the beach.”

As for why it was summer a while ago but suddenly turned into winter, he no longer cared—it was all pointless anyway, so he might as well let it be.

Conan couldn't help but ask with a half-moon-shaped gaze, "Is there really any man who would fall for Sonoko?"

As if slapping them in the face, no sooner had the two finished speaking than two men approached Ran and Sonoko and struck up a conversation: "You two adorable little kittens, if you don't mind, would you like to ski with us?"

Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but roll his eyes at the greasy words, while Conan stared intently at the two men fawning over Ran and Sonoko.

The two men seemed oblivious to Death's gaze, one of them even enthusiastically saying, "We're ski instructors, you know."

"Huh? Aren't these Mori-san and Suzuki-san?"

The group looked over at the sound, and a long-haired woman wearing glasses exclaimed with some surprise, "It really is you! It's been so long!"

"Mr. Yonehara?"

"Does Ms. Yonehara know either of them?"

"Yes, she's a child I used to teach at Teitan Elementary School. She's grown into a beautiful young lady after all these years."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko immediately laughed and said, "Teacher, you're just as beautiful. Your long hair is so lovely."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Yonehara joked, "What, is it only your hair that's pretty?"

After exchanging a few jokes, Ms. Yonehara looked at Kazuma Kudo and said, "You look familiar... Could you be from the class next door...?"

Ran smiled and explained, "Teacher, you've mistaken him for someone else. He's not Shinichi. His name is Kazuma Edogawa, and he's our friend."

The two male teachers who claimed to be ski instructors were immediately taken aback: "Ah! Is that the president of Kurosawa Software, who's been all the rage lately?"

"I've seen his photos before, but I didn't realize he was this young in person."

"I heard he looks a lot like that high school detective, and I think they look exactly alike..."

Kudo Kazuma secretly rolled his eyes, exchanged a few polite words with them, and then Yonehara-sensei warmly invited them to the temporary meeting room of the teachers.

After chatting for a while in the cabin, Ms. Yonehara looked up at her watch and asked, "What's going on? Why hasn't Mr. Sugiyama arrived yet?"

After Xiaolan asked, and the teachers introduced themselves, they learned that Sugiyama-sensei was a music teacher who, like the other teachers, taught at Beika Elementary School.

The group agreed to meet at 2 o'clock, but Mr. Sugiyama hadn't arrived by 3 o'clock.

In the end, they could only deduce that Mr. Sugiyama had already gone to the ski villa they had rented, so they also planned to head there.

At the enthusiastic invitation of one of the male teachers, Shimoda, Conan and his friends agreed to go along.

Goodness, snow-capped mountains, villas, death, and someone who hasn't arrived yet—this setup is absolutely amazing!

To those who recklessly invite death, Kazuma Kudo can only wish them well and hope they live.

On the way to the villa, Mr. Shimoda, who was driving, got lost. Fortunately, he asked a kind passerby for directions.

Because they got lost, everyone started complaining to each other. It was then that Conan and the others realized that these teachers had actually planned to come here to ski!

These teachers simply found a note in their drawer suggesting they come here to ski and stay overnight, and they all decided to come.

Then, Sugiyama-sensei called and suggested Shimoda-sensei rent a car, and the group actually arrived. The only thing they were certain of was that the villa key was in Nakamura-sensei's drawer along with the note…

By this point, Kazuma Kudo no longer wanted to use "goodness" to describe these overly carefree teachers.

All he could say was that, since they were close to Death, they wouldn't be killed under these circumstances; as for the others, he advised them to pray for their own good fortune.

The wind and snow on the mountain gradually intensified, and they finally arrived at the snow mountain villa halfway up the mountain.

As soon as he got out of the car, Kudo Kazuma vaguely sensed the presence of a spirit not far away.

Well... it seems those people were right to conclude that Sugiyama-sensei had arrived at the villa ahead of time...

He not only arrived, but he was already gone.

I am grateful to the kind person who organized this event for sending the fresh soul.

Kemen.
