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

As soon as Kazuma Kudo left Base 2, he saw Vermouth's car parked at the base entrance.

"You didn't drive, did you, Xiao Yizhen? Do you want your older sister to give you a ride?"

"Okay."

Kudo Kazuma got into Vermouth's car without any hesitation.

As the car drove along the road, Vermouth chuckled, "I'm the school doctor at Teitan High School now, you know~"

Kazuma Kudo raised an eyebrow: "You got the job through an application?"

Vermouth cleared her throat. "Of course not. I helped the school doctor at Teitan High School get into a car accident. He and his grandmother were in the crashed car. The only servant in the house didn't know what happened, so I pretended to be the school doctor and fired him."

"Now that you've become the school doctor at Teitan High School, you'll be able to see Ran more often, right? Have you seen Jodie yet?"

“I saw her…” Vermouth’s tone was much colder. “That woman is very wary, but I’ve gotten to know her better recently, so close surveillance shouldn’t be a problem.”

Kazuma Kudo pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

If he remembered correctly, Araide Tomoaki wasn't dead at all, and he didn't know what Vermouth had done. Plus, Akai Shuichi was there too, so it was possible that she had been tricked by him.

Just as he was pondering this, he received a message from his younger brother, who was now a miniature version of himself.

[Something terrible has happened!!! Come to the office immediately!!!]

Kazuma Kudo frowned: "Sister, take me to the Mouri Detective Agency."

As he spoke, he showed Vermouth the information on his phone.

Vermouth was like a driver who, upon hearing that a passenger had an emergency, immediately stepped on the gas and sped off.

Kudo Kazuma wasn't in a hurry; he was mostly just curious.

His brother is usually only concerned with Lan, so why is he so agitated this time? What happened?

The car quickly stopped outside the Poirot Cafe downstairs from the Mouri Detective Agency. Kudo Kazuma tossed out a "Thanks," got out of the car, slammed the door shut, and ran upstairs.

Vermouth, who had been left behind, let out a long sigh.

However, the thought of seeing Angel at school every day and being able to interact with her frequently made her less inclined to go upstairs. She glanced at the second-floor window and drove away.

Kudo Kazuma didn't care what Vermouth was thinking. He took three steps at a time, went upstairs, and pushed open the door in one go. Then he saw a speechless Kogoro Mouri and the strange Conan and Ran.

Ran, facing Conan, recited with deep emotion: "...Who exactly are you, the one who has helped me time and again recently? Nameless knight shrouded in black, if you would grant this princess's humble wish, please remove your mask as black as night and face me with your true face!"

Across from him, Conan held a detective comic book in his left hand, partially obscuring his face, while his right hand barely managed to hold a large script. He read aloud, without any emotion, "If this is truly the princess's wish, I would present this face, etched with ugly scars, before her under the moonlight..."

As he spoke, he obediently moved the detective comic book away, revealing a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

Kazuma Kudo was silent for a moment: "I'm sorry, I came to the wrong room. Goodbye..."

He took a few steps back, but before he could close the door, Conan threw down his detective comics, grabbed his scriptbook, and rushed over, grabbing his shirt with his free hand: "Come back! Don't run away!"

Kudo Kazuma glanced down at him, somewhat speechless, and asked, "So, this is what you meant by 'something big'? Hmm—I get it!"

He leaned halfway into the doorway and said, "Ran, Conan texted me saying something big has happened. It seems that in his eyes, helping you with your lines is a very troublesome and important matter!"

"Hey! Stop talking nonsense..." Conan pushed Kudo Kazuma out, speechless. "Let's talk upstairs."

A moment later, the two brothers arrived at the living room on the third floor.

"So tell me, what exactly happened?"

Conan sighed deeply: "Teitan High School is holding a school festival, and our class is going to perform a play. Here's the script..."

As he spoke, he shoved the script into Kudo Kazuma's hand and said in a sarcastic tone, "Ran is supposed to play the female lead, but the person she's acting opposite at school is actually Dr. Araide... Isn't that a big deal?"

Kudo Kazuma gasped, his expression turning solemn with respect: "So this is a big deal? Kudo Shinichi, you really are an exceptionally love-struck, top-tier jealous person! To make you this jealous, is the male lead also played by Dr. Araide?"

As he flipped through the script, he thought to himself, "No wonder Vermouth's eyes were full of smiles when she talked about how she's now working as a school doctor at Teitan High School. Goodness, she must have gotten herself into the male lead's shoes while rehearsing lines with Ran."

"No, that's not it..." Conan puffed out his cheeks. "Sonoko said she'd dress up as a boy and play the male lead, hehe..."

Kudo Kazuma glanced at him sideways: "I understand. The female lead is Ran, and the male lead isn't you. This is an absolutely critical matter for you, right? What's the point of telling me this? Even if I impersonate you to act with Ran, the male lead still isn't you."

"Holy crap, there's even a kissing scene between the male and female leads! Did Sonoko write this script? Ouch—"

He remembered now, the Black Knight and the Princess, the Desperate Arc was coming soon, no wonder his brother was so anxious. Even if Sonoko and Ran had a kissing scene, his brother definitely wouldn't allow it!

Conan said sullenly, "I just wanted you to ask Haibara if there's any new antidote that's been made..."

Kudo Kazuma was speechless: "So I'm just your tool for asking about the antidote? Why don't you ask yourself? You and Haibara are classmates, wouldn't it be easier for you to ask than for me to ask?"

"Because she treats you much better than she treats me," Conan said with his half-moon eyes. "Do you know that she calls me Edogawa's older brother in private..."

He felt helpless. Did he not even deserve a name from Ai Haibara?

Kudo Kazuma understood, ruffled Conan's hair and said, "After all, you weren't nice to her at first, so it's normal that she doesn't like you now, isn't it?"

"Sigh, what can I do? You're my brother. I have no choice but to go to the doctor's house with you."

When the two brothers went to Agasa's house, the three members of the Detective Boys were also at Dr. Agasa's house, discussing their weekend skiing trip.

Conan was completely dumbfounded: "Why didn't I know you guys had this plan? You're skiing without me?"

Ayumi was the first to speak up: "But you ran off after school and didn't walk home with us like you usually do!"

"Yeah, we only started talking about it on our way home," Mitsuhiko nodded. "Conan, you've been running off after school these past two days. Who knows what you've been up to?"

Yuan Tai nodded emphatically: "If you don't take us, we won't take you either!"

Conan: "..."

Could he say that he ran so fast after school every day to pick up Ran from Teitan High School so he could go home and help her rehearse her lines?

Even when rehearsing lines, he didn't want the new doctor to come...

Finally, Professor Agasa said with a smile, "Since Conan and Kazuma are here too, they can come with us. We're all going skiing tomorrow. Do you two want to come along?"

Conan and Kazuma Kudo exchanged a glance.

"Ok."

"can."

Ai Haibara, standing to the side, turned her gaze to the two of them: "So, what brings you here now?"
