When Kudo Kazuma woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar room.

I was all alone in the room.

If it weren't for the subtle connection between him and Conan telling him that Conan was still nearby, he would have wondered where he was.

So, Xiaoyue, where are we now?

[At an inn in Hakodate, the owner.]

The system's voice, Moon Fox, rang in his mind, telling Kudo Kazuma not only his location but also the situation of the others.

Because of your health issues, Master, everyone is still in Hakodate. The Chosen One is currently guarding outside.

Kudo Kazuma still had a splitting headache and was too lazy to call for help, so he just lay on the bed, covering his forehead, trying to come to his senses.

Conan, who was waiting outside, seemed to be on the same wavelength as him, and came in less than a minute after he opened his eyes.

Conan deftly brushed aside Kazuma Kudo's hand from his forehead, and a small hand landed on his forehead.

"It's good that you don't have a fever." Conan breathed a slight sigh of relief. "It's just past noon. What would you like to eat? Dr. Agasa has taken Haibara and the others back to Tokyo first. We'll stay here with you and go back when you feel better."

Kudo Kazuma coughed a few times and said in a muffled voice, "Headache... I don't want to talk... I don't want to eat..."

Conan: "..."

He sighed, turned and left. A moment later, he returned with a cup of hot water and a piece of chocolate cake.

"There's a dessert shop next to the hotel. What else would you like to eat? I'll go buy it for you."

Kazuma Kudo: "..."

To be honest, even though his head was throbbing like it was going to split open and he had no desire to speak or eat, he still couldn't help but light up when he saw the chocolate cake.

A moment later, Kazuma Kudo sat back on the bed, slowly eating his chocolate cake, while Conan briefly recounted what had happened after he fainted.

This unfortunate plane avoided being disintegrated thanks to that final, subtle tilt, and successfully protected all the passengers in the cabin.

Apart from a few passengers who were injured during the emergency landing on the first floor, most people escaped unharmed.

When the rescuers rescued all the passengers and checked the number of people, they found that a passenger named Xinzhuang was missing, and they were all stunned on the spot.

Fortunately, Conan informed the rescue team and the media who arrived in time that Shinjo was probably Kid in disguise, which saved the rescue leader from having to bow and apologize to Shinjo's family.

However, the topic of "the passenger sitting in the captain's seat was actually Kaito Kid in disguise" immediately took over the front page of the newspaper, attracting more attention than the successful emergency landing of Flight 865 at sea, which avoided a large number of casualties.

As for the famous stage actor and Josephine's lead actress, Mu Shuli, being poisoned on the ill-fated plane, and the "minor matters" such as the captain and co-pilot of Flight 865's dereliction of duty, they are not worthy of being featured in the news.

These people and events are merely background to the news story of "Phantom Thief Kid saving the day by making an emergency landing at sea to save the plane."

The news sent Kaito Kid's fans into a frenzy.

Sonoko, who witnessed Kid calmly piloting the plane from the captain's seat, was so excited that she kept grinning like an idiot.

Fortunately, Kidd responded quickly.

He specifically left a message for several newspapers that reported the incident in the form of his usual advance notice, explaining in a few words that he was only responsible for ensuring the autopilot and directional control of the aircraft. The ones who truly made the plane land safely at sea and saved all the passengers were Kazuma Edogawa, the president of Kurosawa Software, and his younger brother Conan Edogawa.

While this response drew a lot of attention to Kazuma Kudo and Conan, Kid's honest attitude earned him a lot of goodwill.

After eating the cake and drinking a cup of hot water, Kudo Kazuma, feeling a little better, looked through two newspaper articles.

Then he curled his lip and said, "That Douzi guy is just like you, so high-profile."

Conan immediately protested: "Hey, hey—where did I go with being high-profile? I'm very low-profile, okay?"

Kudo Kazuma was too lazy to argue, so he killed the game with one sentence: "Oh, who was it that dragged Ran around the school like crazy, making the whole school know that you, Kudo Shinichi, went back and participated in the carnival?"

Conan: "...Damn it...What else do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you right now."

He has a headache but can't stop eating. It seems the only way to shut up his brat is to feed him more.

Kazuma Kudo thought for a moment: "Tiramisu and vanilla mousse. If you don't mind, I can also accept lemon pie if you have the means."

Conan: "...I mind. I'll go buy it for you."

He couldn't help but glare at his bratty younger brother.

Given the conditions outside, he still wants Lan to borrow the kitchen to help him bake lemon pie?

Think beautiful!

As Kudo Kazuma leaned against the headboard, rubbing his forehead with his fingers while waiting for Conan to return with the desserts he had bought, a "boy" with messy short hair and wearing a baseball uniform was flipping through the same newspaper that Kudo Kazuma had just read in a hotel in Tokyo.

"The president of Kurosawa Software Company..." The emerald eyes blinked. The "boy" pointed to the photo in the newspaper and said to the girl sitting diagonally opposite him, with short light blond hair and curly bangs, "It should be him, right? At least according to the description of the staff who have seen him, it is probably him."

The girl didn't speak, but stared intently at the photo of Kazuma Kudo in the newspaper.

Seeing that the other party did not speak, the "young man" continued his analysis: "I have carefully investigated this Edogawa Kazuma and Kurosawa Software Company. The company's previous new Bond was endorsed by the actress Chris Vineyard, and Edogawa Kazuma and Chris have a good personal relationship. You understand what this possibility means, Mom."

If Kazuma Kudo were here, he would probably recognize at a glance that the girl called "Mom" by the "boy" is Mary Akai, who not only survived the APTX-4869 poisoning but also miraculously turned into a child.

As for the "boy" who has been analyzing Kudo Kazuma, strictly speaking, she is a girl, who is naturally Sera Masumi, the only daughter of Akai Mary and the younger sister of Akai Shuichi.

Mary Akai's doubts and deep thoughts did not diminish in the slightest: "Even so, it only proves that he might be a member of that organization. What does that prove?"

Sera Masumi pointed to the newspaper in her hand: "At least judging from this report, he's not a bad person. Besides, he's the one who saved Mom, isn't he?"

Mary Akai remained vigilant: "Whether he's a bad person or not is another matter. Who knows if he's just deliberately trying to enhance his public image?"

Sera Masumi shrugged: "Okay, didn't Mom also suspect that he might know about that drug that can shrink people? If you ask me... we could totally try to contact him."

She looked at Akai Mary, her emerald eyes flashing with shrewdness: "At least, he doesn't know me, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to test the waters, right?"

"Alright...then be careful."
