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

The warm and comfortable feeling suddenly disappeared.

A chill ran through him, and Kudo Kazuma woke up with a start.

He said irritably, "Big brother, you..."

"How the hell have you started pulling the covers off people all the time?" After seeing the short guy standing by the bed, Kudo Kazuma reached out impatiently, "Give me back the key to this side!"

He gave the key to Conan so that he could easily come in if there was any special situation, not so that Conan could come and pull off the covers for no reason!

Conan acted as if he hadn't heard what his younger brother was saying, and was extremely excited. When he saw Conan reach out, he casually handed him a paper bag: "Here, this is from Aunt Eri!"

Kazuma Kudo was a little doubtful. Was he still half asleep, or was his brother still half asleep? Was Conan really listening to what he was saying?

He took the bag with some doubt, opened it, and found a hand-knitted, off-white sweater inside.

Looking up again, I saw that Conan was wearing a blue, miniature version of the same outfit.

Seeing that his younger brother had finally noticed the sweater he was wearing, Conan became even more excited: "See? Ran knitted it herself!"

"Hehe~ So the reason she was coming home late every night was because she was learning to knit sweaters at Aunt Eri's place~ Not only does she have this small one, but she also has a big one. It's a pity I can't wear it now, but she knitted it by hand and gave it to me herself~"

Seeing that Conan's tone was becoming increasingly arrogant, Kudo Kazuma immediately took out his miniature camera and took a series of photos.

Then, somewhat speechless, he asked, "So you came here wearing the new sweater Xiaolan knitted for you? Aren't you hot?"

Please, it was summer just a few days ago; it was still hot when they went to the beach!

To everyone's surprise, Conan casually placed his hand on his forehead: "It's not hot... Don't talk nonsense if you don't have a fever. Are you feeling sore? In this weather outside, how could you be hot wearing a sweater? On the contrary, you're still wearing thin pajamas. Be careful not to catch a cold!"

Kudo Kazuma paused for a moment, then casually picked up his phone and glanced at the calendar.

So...we were still on summer vacation just a few days ago, and now it's already December?

He was somewhat speechless—so what if he had a cheat code? He still couldn't withstand this absurd amount of time spent studying Detective Conan.

So, is this thanks to Gin or Conan?

Realizing it was winter outside, he suddenly felt very cold and quickly wrapped the blanket around himself again: "So, you came over first thing this morning and pulled off my blanket just to show off the sweater Xiaolan knitted for you?"

"Well, it's not just that," Conan said, toning down his usual antics. "Ran knitted two sweaters for me, so I had to return the favor."

"There are winter activities at Dorobiga Park these days, including ice skating and fireworks. I'd like to invite her to go with me, so I'm asking if you'd like to go."

Kudo Kazuma was completely bewildered: "You two lovebirds revisited this place, what's with bringing me along as a third wheel? What, do you want me to cosplay you and recapture the feeling of when you got hit with a stick before?"

Conan was speechless, rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you think I don't want it to be just the two of us? It's because Sonoko is here too."

"Then call Kyogoku again! Why call me? Can't you just let me get some sleep?"

"...It was because Kyogoku had something to do that Sonoko went out with us..."

"And..." Conan sounded exhausted, "It's already 10:30, it has absolutely nothing to do with early morning, okay?"

Kudo Kazuma shrugged from under the covers: "Okay..."

After dinner, the four of them went to the ice rink in Dorobiga Park.

Sonoko looked very excited: "Wow! So many handsome guys! They're all my type!"

Xiaolan was both amused and exasperated: "What about Kyogoku? Aren't you going to take care of him?"

Upon hearing this, Sonoko sighed: "In pursuit of the ultimate martial arts, he is preparing to go abroad."

"Sigh~ Ah Zhen is nothing like a prince charming. He's more like a warrior who's always getting hurt. And now he's going abroad. Just thinking about him not being around anymore makes me feel so hopeless..."

Ran whispered, "Kyogoku has admirers everywhere. If someone hears you saying something like that, you'll be in trouble!"

“Oh dear, of course I’m different from you,” Sonoko suddenly teased. “These days, there aren’t many women who silently wait for their husbands who never come home and whose hearts never change…”

Ran blushed immediately: "I wasn't waiting for Shinichi! And... I don't need to wait for him, don't talk nonsense~"

"Oh?" Sonoko's expression became even more mischievous. "I don't think I mentioned Shinichi's name just now, did I?"

Ran's face flushed bright red instantly. She quickly turned to look at Conan and Kazuma Kudo not far away. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that Conan hadn't noticed her.

Sonoko's voice was quite loud; how could Conan not have noticed?

He was just pretending not to hear because he was afraid Xiaolan would be shy.

Seeing that Sonoko had stopped teasing Ran, Conan skated over to Ran, took her hand, and said, "Ran-neechan, let's go ice skating!"

"Okay."

Ran smiled at Conan, and just as the two were about to go for a lap, they saw a short-haired woman in a beige trench coat skating towards them, shouting and yelling.

"Make way~ Make way now~ Ouch, please move aside~"

Seeing that the other person was about to bump into Ran, Conan quickly pulled Ran aside...

Then he collided squarely with the woman.

Kazuma Kudo, who had just arrived at Conan's side, originally wanted to pull him away, but unfortunately, his own skating skills were not very good, and he was a little slow to arrive. Seeing that Ran had already gone to help Conan, he simply withdrew his hand and looked at the woman who had bumped into him.

Woman, congratulations, you've run into death.

Just then, another man slid over, clearly heading towards the short-haired woman. The short-haired woman sat on the ground, turned around, and said coquettishly, "It hurts so much~ Come help me, Kang Zhi!"

"You're clearly not very good at it yet, so don't skate so fast."

"How should I know?"

The man helped the short-haired woman up.

Just then, a long-haired woman approached them and immediately began to mock, "You can only get boys' attention by acting cute now. Chihiro, a curious, lively, and energetic rich girl like you will be an old woman once you're over thirty!"

This sentence acted as a fuse, and the two started arguing. It was only after another woman with squinty eyes wearing a knitted hat came over and said a few words of persuasion that things calmed down.

Sonoko heard that they were involved in clay shooting, so she went up and chatted with them for a bit. As they talked, the short-haired woman who had just bumped into Conan mentioned something that happened six months ago.

Kudo Kazuma's gaze swept over the group of people before finally settling on the short-haired woman.

She bumped into Death and didn't even apologize. Now she's bringing up that unspeakable incident from Detective Conan, "that thing" from six months ago. It seems this rich girl, who's several levels below Sonoko, isn't going to live much longer...
