As it turns out, two legs can't keep up with four wheels.

When Kazuma Kudo arrived, there was only a little over a minute left before sunset.

After parking his car, he walked into the room where Xiaolan and the others were, and heard Sato's voice coming from next door.

"What are you doing? If you're going to kiss me, just do it already."

Kazuma Kudo: "Hiss—"

No, I heard about such a thrilling scene as soon as I got back?

He gestured to Conan with his eyes: What's going on?

Conan shrugged and pulled him to a crack in the wall. Then, Shiratori from next door hesitantly said, "Ready..."

Through the gap, you could see Shiratori placing her hands on Sato's shoulders: "You don't have to force yourself, Miwako."

He hugged Sato: "Let's just calm down for now. Now, nothing can stop us."

Sonoko's eyes sparkled, and she excitedly whispered, "It's going to be a kiss, it's going to be a kiss, it's going to be a kiss..."

Ran muttered to herself, "Why hasn't Officer Takagi arrived yet? Should I go and stop them?"

Conan looked at his younger brother with a puzzled expression and asked: Where is Takagi?

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: You're here.

Conan slapped his forehead: Needless to say, Officer Takagi has gotten into trouble again.

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: I did my best.

Vermouth, disguised as Tomoaki Niide, looked at Conan and Kazuma Kudo with curiosity. Were these two brothers communicating in a way she couldn't understand?

While she was still trying to figure out how the two of them were communicating, she noticed that Conan's gaze had fallen on her.

"Dr. Shinichi, come here for a moment..." Conan grabbed Shinichi and was about to leave, clearly having thought of some way to stall for time.

However, he was stopped by Kudo Kazuma before he could take two steps.

"No need, I'm here."

He could already hear Takagi's hurried footsteps, but... why did the footsteps sound a little strange?

In the short time it took to say just a few words, Sato had already closed her eyes, and Shiratori was getting closer and closer to her, almost kissing her.

Suddenly, the door to the room was flung open, and Takagi, soaking wet and still dripping with water, appeared in the doorway, panting.

Shiratori and Sato opened their eyes together and looked towards the doorway.

Having barely caught her breath, Takagi tried to speak in a steady voice, "Officer Sato Miwako, I've come to take you home."

"Takagi..."

The moment Sato saw Takagi appear, he instantly relaxed, his face beaming with joy.

Seeing this, Takagi also raised his hand to scratch the back of his head and chuckled sheepishly.

Then he saw Sato's expression change, and he asked seriously, "So, have the escaped robbers been caught?"

Takagi immediately stood at attention and subconsciously spoke in a businesslike tone: "Yes, the escaped robbers have been caught and handed over to Officer Chiba to be taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department."

Sato breathed a slight sigh of relief, then squinted at Takagi's soaking wet appearance and asked, "So, what happened to you this time?"

Takagi said somewhat awkwardly, "On my way here, I accidentally fell into the ornamental pond outside the restaurant..."

Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but give Takagi a thumbs-up through the crack in the door.

As expected of you, Takagi-kun.

The ornamental pond wasn't very big, and it was quite noticeable; it was easy to avoid. How could Takagi fall in like that? Did he just rush in straight ahead?

With the help of Yumi Miyamoto, Conan, and Kazuma Kudo, Miwako Sato's blind date fell through.

However, a blind date made her realize her feelings for Takagi and also made her understand Takagi's feelings for her, which can be considered a good thing.

As for Shiratori, in his words, when he saw Sato so distracted, he knew he had already lost, lost completely.

"Don't think like that, Officer Shiratori. Officer Sato isn't your match. From what I've observed, your true love hasn't arrived yet." Kudo Kazuma patted Shiratori on the shoulder, comforting him like a charlatan. "If you really can't forget your past relationship, you might consider visiting Teitan Elementary School more often. Maybe that will clear things up for you."

Shiratori looked puzzled: "Edogawa-kun? What do you mean by that?"

Kazuma Kudo said in a serious tone, "What I mean is, I've already asked the World Will for you. Your destiny isn't with the Metropolitan Police Department, but with Teitan Elementary School. Trust me, and don't forget, I solve cases based on intuition and reasoning."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, what Kazuma said is absolutely accurate, I can vouch for it!"

Ran chimed in, "That's absolutely right. Last time, Kazuma said Sonoko's time had come, and it really has. Since he said so, Officer Shiratori, you could give it a try!"

Conan twitched his lips.

Although he thought his younger brother was talking nonsense, he decided not to contradict him, considering that his brother had actually gotten his nonsense right to Sonoko and Makoto Kyogoku last time.

What if this time it's right again?

Only Vermouth, disguised as Dr. Araide, couldn't help but cast a questioning glance at Kazuma Kudo.

What the hell is Danpo talking about?

The two little girls actually believed him. Is he really that amazing?

They probably didn't understand the true nature of this kid's nonsense and were fooled by him, right?

Since Kazuma Kudo didn't have time to change cars, Conan, Ran, and Sonoko were eventually sent back by Araide.

Due to health issues, Kazuma Kudo no longer makes special trips to the agency.

The next day at noon, Yuuki Tsugami called to say that the skincare products had passed quality inspection.

Kudo Kazuma and Tsugami Yuuki went to pick up the certificate of qualification, and then went to Agasa's house to inform Haibara Ai of the news.

Because current skincare products only offer single items, and even if they develop further, they will likely only be a single product line in the short term, Kazuma Kudo had long planned to collaborate with other fashion brands.

As for the target of the cooperation, he had already chosen it. Before discussing the cooperation with the other party, he needed to explain the matter to Ai Haibara, the core researcher.

"Eh? With Professor Agasa..." Haruka Haibara, who was listening in, unconsciously raised her voice, but then lowered it again when she remembered that Professor Agasa was still in the research lab next door. "You mean, the partner you're planning to find is related to Professor Agasa?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "It's not just 'related'; there seems to be some kind of agreement between them that transcends time. But I doubt the professor remembers it very clearly..."

"I was thinking, since it's not really convenient for the two of you to come with me to discuss the collaboration, how about we let the Doctor come along? He's an inventor after all, so he could be your authorized representative, Ai, right?"

"What's inconvenient about it?" Ai Haibara crossed her arms. "My sister and I can just go with him as relatives of the professor, right?"

Kazuma Kudo: "...That's true."

Anyway, in the world of Detective Conan, it seems everyone is used to the main characters taking children with them wherever they go.

As long as it's explained clearly that the Haibara sisters are the Doctor's relatives' children, not his own, Fusae probably won't misunderstand anything.

"So next, we need to find a suitable celebrity to discuss an endorsement deal, right?"

Ai Haibara frowned: "Don't go to Vermouth, she might discover the ingredients of this thing or my identity."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "I do know that."

If you don't go for Vermouth, here are some relatively safe and trouble-free celebrities in the Detective Conan world...

Are we looking for Yoko Okino?
