After glancing at the blue and white capsule, Kazuma Kudo suddenly looked at Conan.

"Wow, you've got the antidote right in your hands, and you can actually resist?"

Noticing his younger brother's gaze, which seemed to be staring at some strange sight, Conan couldn't help but give him a half-moon look.

"Come on, even if I'm in a hurry, I can't just make Conan disappear in front of those kids, can I? I need an excuse."

As he spoke, he carefully closed the small box, put it in his pocket, and then stared at Kudo Kazuma with his big, watery eyes: "Kazuma, can you help me take those children back to their homes?"

Kudo Kazuma was speechless: "...Can't you go by yourself? I don't like being around those brats."

"I can't drive, and if I walk back, it'll take half a day..."

Conan tugged at Kudo Kazuma's sleeve and shook it, unconsciously using a slightly coquettish tone: "Go ahead, go ahead~ Please bear with me for a moment and take me back to the agency first so I can give the antidote to Ran, and then we'll go and send those kids away, okay~"

Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but gasp, having made an outstanding contribution to the greenhouse effect of rice flowers.

A high school detective, in order to take a pill to grow bigger, actually shamelessly acts cute towards his own younger brother?

Is this something a human being could do?

"Brother! No, brother! You're my real brother! Be normal! I'm not your little Lan sister!"

Kudo Kazuma decisively covered Conan's face, which he couldn't bear to look at, with his hand, his tone indescribably complicated: "I give up... Okay, okay, I'll go with you to take them home, alright?"

Conan pulled Kudo Kazuma's hand away, his face slightly flushed, and his expression somewhat embarrassed.

He was used to using his childlike body to get by, and what he did just now was purely subconscious. But the thought that the person he was trying to charm was his own younger brother, and a younger brother who knew his true identity at that, made him want to dig a whole town out of his skin...

but……

Conan winked quietly. If he could handle his bratty younger brother, it might not be so bad to act cute and charming occasionally.

He's used to it anyway...

Upon learning that Kudo Kazuma and Conan were going to take the three kids home separately, the three mischievous children were somewhat intimidated—they still remembered being scolded by Kudo Kazuma last time.

Seeing that they were a little scared, Haruka Haibara quickly went over to comfort them.

Ai Haibara then reached out and grabbed Kazuma Kudo's sleeve, pulling him away from the three little ones.

"What's up?"

Ai Haibara nodded: "To prevent someone from getting too excited and forgetting the main point, I think it's necessary to explain the situation of the initial version of the antidote to you as well."

"Because it is the first version of the antidote, it has not been used on humans. We can only infer from the recovery time of mice that Edogawa will recover to normal in about 50 hours after taking the antidote, with an error margin of no more than two hours."

"You'd better remind him that, just to be on the safe side, he only has 48 hours. Don't get too excited and give anything away. If the organization notices something's wrong, neither of us will escape, and your sister will be implicated too."

"As for the efficacy of the medicine, I have already drawn blood from him. I will draw blood again after he turns back to normal and compare the results. At that time, we may be able to extend the duration of the antidote's effects."

Kazuma Kudo nodded: "I've got it. Don't worry, I'll tell Ran everything. With Ran watching over him, he won't be able to get away with anything."

At this point, he stroked Ai Haibara's soft hair: "And you don't need to worry about the organization finding out anything. Don't worry, with me here, there won't be any danger."

So what if someone in the organization finds out?

With [Sound Bewitching] around, if you push him too far, he can just control one of you.

The skill 【Sound Bewitching】 directly affects the soul. Even Conan, the chosen one, couldn't dodge it. He didn't believe anyone else could.

Ai Haibara nodded slightly at first, then couldn't help but look at Kazuma Kudo with her half-moon eyes: "Instead of using your skills to protect others, you should first get rid of your habit of sleeping in. It's not good for your health."

Kudo Kazuma sighed in silence.

What's wrong with staying in bed longer?

His poor health can't be blamed on him for sleeping in!

After leaving Agasa's house, Kudo Kazuma first took Conan and the three kids to the Mouri Detective Agency.

Ran had already gotten out of school, and Conan could still hear her voice through the door. Before he even opened the door, he called out, "Ran-neechan~ I'm home!"

I pushed open the door and saw...

"Sonoko... um, Sonoko-neechan, what are you doing here?"

"What?" Sonoko Suzuki asked, hands on her hips, looking down at Conan. "Am I interfering with your time with Ran, you brat?"

"Hahaha, how could that be? Welcome, Sonoko-neechan~"

Conan scratched the back of his head and acted cute, but inwardly he couldn't help but chuckle.

Sonoko's behavior definitely affects his relationship with Ran!

Sonoko probably thinks the same way...

While Conan was mentally criticizing Sonoko Suzuki, Sonoko had already greeted the three little ones and Kazuma Kudo who were coming in one after another.

Kazuma Kudo was also a little curious: "Sonoko? Did you come to play with Ran, or is there something else?"

Sonoko Suzuki first gave Conan a disdainful look: "Listen to how your brother asks questions, and learn from him, you brat!"

After expressing her disdain, she then explained to the group why she had come.

It turned out that a transfer student had joined their class. That transfer student was the leader of a traveling theater troupe, leading the troupe's actors on tours across the country. They would only stay in each place for about a month—which meant that he would only stay at Teitan High School for a month before transferring to another school and leaving.

After the former troupe leader, who was also the transfer student's father, passed away, many people left the troupe, which led to its current poor performance. They even have to hand out flyers to promote their shows.

Sonoko Suzuki, the second young lady of the prestigious Suzuki family, impulsively agreed to help that classmate distribute flyers.

After listening for a while, Kogoro Mouri bluntly said, "That kid is just trying to trick you into helping him hand out flyers, isn't he?"

“No, that’s not true!” Sonoko Suzuki immediately retorted. “We asked him to ask us for help so that we could go backstage and watch their practice and rehearsal.”

Kogoro Mouri was speechless: "Why don't you use this time to read more books?"

"Don't worry, don't worry~" Sonoko Suzuki said with a smile, "Tamanosuke looks very innocent and is also a handsome guy, he can't be a bad person."

"Let's go help! Even if something really happens, Ran can deliver the final blow!"

Conan, who hadn't had a chance to give the antidote to Ran yet, immediately became alert upon hearing the word "handsome guy." He stepped forward, tugged at Ran's sleeve, and started acting cute: "Ran-neechan~ I want to go see too~ Take me with you~"

Ran and Sonoko looked down, and saw the three little ones behind Conan also speak up in unison: "We want to go too~"
