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

After sending the message, Kudo Kazuma looked up and saw Gin's gaze fixed on him.

He immediately blinked innocently: "Big brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

Gin narrowed his eyes and said, "You came all the way to the base just to ask that one question?"

He glanced at the phone in Kazuma Kudo's hand again as he spoke: "If you don't have anything else to say, get lost."

So that he doesn't have to see this kid slacking off and hurt his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Kudo Kazuma, who was half-reclining on the sofa, sat up straight and coughed, saying, "What do you mean, 'just to ask that question'? I came here specifically to check if there's any rat in the organization trying to disregard the boss's rules and target other codename members, okay?"

He shook his phone as he spoke: "Besides, I wasn't using my phone; I was just looking for professional help."

Gin glanced at him: "Quite free?"

Kudo Kazuma immediately put away his phone and got up to leave: "No, I'm very busy."

“Then take some time to do this task.” Gin said, slapping an A4 sheet of paper onto Kudo Kazuma’s back with such force that it almost made him stumble.

Kudo Kazuma reluctantly caught the falling A4 paper, turned his head and complained, "Big brother, you don't actually dislike me and want to kill me, do you?"

Gin ignored him and sat back down.

Seeing that he had failed to run away and had gotten another mission, Kudo Kazuma decided to give up and sat back down on the sofa to look at the mission information.

"Tatsumi Taiji? The president of Game Company, who's in the gaming equipment business, dealing in traditional gaming equipment, and has been in business for twenty years?"

Kurosawa Software started out making games, and although Game made traditional gaming equipment, it was still a competitor, so Kazuma Kudo wasn't completely unaware of that.

He had heard Yuuki Tsugami mention this company before. It was said to be a very influential player in the traditional gaming equipment industry. However, their business model was rather traditional, so they did not participate in arcade or video game events like the Manton Games press conference.

Therefore, Kazuma Kudo had only heard of the company and had not learned anything about it.

But when he saw the information and learned that Game's company address was in the Mihana Central Building, and that it occupied three whole floors, his first reaction was that this company truly deserved its reputation as a 20-year-old established company, and that it really had the strength.

The second reaction is...

Mihana Central Building?

Is the floor very close to the overlook restaurant?

Good heavens, could this target company president be the unlucky guy who died at the wrong time in the original story, preventing Shinichi Kudo from confessing to Ran?

As Kudo Kazumi was trying his best to retrieve the plot details from his hazy memories of a past life he had seen more than a decade ago, his phone rang.

It was a message from Shinichi Kudo.

[Finally, we got through this. When exactly did Lan's father realize something was wrong? Judging from his behavior, he clearly had suspicions all along.]

Kudo Kazuma chuckled and casually replied.

Based on your performance, unless the world's will grants you a huge advantage, isn't it perfectly normal for Uncle Mori to notice something's wrong?

After all, Kogoro Mouri isn't really a fool. Even in the original story, Kogoro Mouri had quite a few highlights.

[What the hell is "world will"? Stop spouting nonsense. I've already had Haibara's blood drawn, but I do have a question...]

Shinichi Kudo simply called.

As soon as Kudo Kazuma answered the call, he heard his older brother ask, "Do you think if I confess my feelings to Ran under these special circumstances, she'll think I'm not sincere enough and that I'm being threatened by Aunt Eri?"

Kudo Kazuma was speechless: "You're someone who's liked girls since you were four, and you're asking me a question I've never been in a relationship? Did your father-in-law break your head? Besides, if you think this isn't the right time, you can wait a while."

"But... I'm only Shinichi Kudo for these two days. I'll have to turn back into Conan in a few days. How can I express my feelings using Conan's identity?"

"When I went to get my blood drawn, I wanted to ask Haibara for another antidote so I could turn back into normal after a while. But Haibara said that if I take too much of this stuff, I'll develop resistance, so she's not going to give me a second one."

"According to her estimate, the antidote's effects will last for about 72 hours, and I only seem to have these two days left. If only Aunt Eri hadn't come and said those things..."

Listening to Shinichi Kudo's endless chatter about whether Ran would refuse or overthink things, Kazuma Kudo was completely speechless.

Is this the ultimate love brain?

You, Ta-miao, have liked Xiao-lan for thirteen years. Don't you know what she's like?

They clearly liked each other. When Shinichi Kudo confessed, Ran Mouri was just happy. How could she possibly overthink it?

It's really strange. This guy is always so confident when facing cases and criminals, but when he's with Xiaolan, everything seems to go wrong. He's always either jealous or overthinking things. Doesn't he know that Xiaolan likes him too?

Kudo Kazuma is so tired. His brother is such a love-obsessed person. Do his parents even know that?

Oh, right, I know.

If it weren't for wanting to be with Ran, Shinichi Kudo would have gone to America with his parents during junior high school; and if he hadn't lived at Ran's house after shrinking so he could spend time with her, his Grim Reaper brother would have gone to America with his parents long ago.

Thinking of this, Kudo Kazuma simply said, "Stop showing off in disguise. If you want to confess, do it now. Goodbye."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

This brother of mine is hopeless.

but……

His gaze fell on the A4 paper with the mission details written on it, and then he turned to look at Gin, who had been watching him make the call the whole time.

"Big brother, this mission shouldn't have a time limit, right?"

Gin withdrew his gaze: "As soon as possible."

Kazuma Kudo nodded.

This guy named Tatsumi Taiji expanded his business through unfair means twenty years ago. Now, with the rise of video games and the development of computer and mobile games, his company's survival space is being squeezed, so he is using similar methods to target other companies.

Unfortunately, this time, this guy touched upon the organization's interests, which is why the organization has taken notice of him.

Tatsumi Taiji, right?

Not only did it threaten the organization's interests, but it also dared to interrupt Death's confession?

You're finished!

Kudo Kazuma folded the A4 paper and put it into the system space, then tilted his head and looked at Gin: "Big brother, come with me to scout out the Beika Central Building?"

Gin: "..."

Got it, this kid has something he can't say under the boss's watchful eye again.

He was a little tired.

Can you not go?
