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

"Don't go!"

Kudo Kazuma waved his hand.

What if I'm sick three days from now?

Don't think he doesn't remember; Shinkansen was one of the few episodes in the early series where no one died.

A primary school student facing death head-on, without even receiving any soul essence—it's a losing proposition; who would want to go? He's not going.

Gin snorted, dropped off a task, and went upstairs.

"The task has been assigned to you. You have one week to complete it, whichever day you're not sick."

"No, I already said I'm not going..."

As he muttered to himself, Kudo Kazuma opened his phone to check the detailed mission instructions sent by Gin.

It's another task.

The organization wants to open a research institute near Base 2, but there are no suitable houses in the target area at the moment, and no suitable buildings for sale in the surrounding area.

Gin's requirement for him was to resolve the housing issue within a week, by any means necessary, but the organization's existence could not be exposed.

Kazuma Kudo frowned and turned to look at the vodka beside him.

Vodka shrank his neck.

"I still need to prepare for the Shinkansen deal. Good luck to you, Danpo!"

Before he finished speaking, he followed Gin upstairs with an agility completely disproportionate to his size.

Kudo Kazuma rolled his eyes and strolled away from the base.

As for the task.

What task?

There are still seven days left, what's the rush?

What if the task resolves itself?

In the realm of death, anything is possible.

Instead of worrying about tasks, he'd be better off checking on his own company.

Because Kazuma Kudo spends most of his time in the United States and rarely returns to Japan, Kurosawa Software is not a very large company at present.

The company has about 20 employees and occupies only 200 square meters of land.

Currently, we have only developed a few small computer and mobile games to accumulate funds and ensure the smooth operation of the company.

Now that the Grim Reaper has been born, all sorts of strange and outlandish technologies will begin to emerge.

Kudo Kazuma will not be leaving Japan for a short period of time after returning this time, and he should try to achieve his small goals.

In the president's office, a nearly snow-white Persian cat was lying gracefully on the windowsill, basking in the sun.

Suddenly, it turned its head and stared unblinkingly at the doorway with its gray-blue eyes.

The boy, wearing a burgundy shirt and a black trench coat, pushed open the door and greeted it with a smile.

"Long time no see, Hero~"

"I've gone back to Japan and I won't be leaving anytime soon. Now you'll have someone to chat with. Aren't you happy?"

Witnessing Scotland's death triggered a second chance for Kudo Kazuma to draw a prize, which he happened to draw: the "Yin-Yang Eyes," which allows him to see people's souls.

When he saw that Scotland, or rather the soul of Morofushi Kagemitsu, was worried about Amuro Tooru's outburst, he suddenly had a new idea—with Morofushi Kagemitsu around, wouldn't Amuro Tooru be easy to handle?

With the system's help, he collected Scotland's soul. To ensure that Scotland's soul would not dissipate over time, he picked up a dying Persian cat and stuffed its soul inside.

The person is gone, but the soul has been saved.

Nowadays, whatever Scotland says sounds like a cat meowing to others, and only Kazuma Kudo can have a normal conversation with him.

The cat tilted its head and glanced at Kudo Kazuma, its eyes revealing a human-like tenderness and helplessness.

"Chatting with a cat? It wouldn't be good if someone overheard and noticed that you're special."

Kazuma Kudo sighed: "Don't you want to talk to me?"

"Sigh, I understand. I only saved you. How can that compare to the years of friendship you've shared with your Amuro?"

“I heard that while I was away from the country, you, as a cat, often took the initiative to get close to him.”

"Fine, you should go and cuddle with your Amuro instead. I don't really need anyone to talk to..."

The cat licked its palm and said leisurely, "Be normal. Bourbon went abroad a few days ago, apparently on some mission."

"Got it, that's why you won't come to the company to wait for me if he doesn't go abroad..."

"Sigh... You're always looking for something better than what you have. A cat like you deserves to be spayed or neutered, you know that?"

It's just a cat, but the cat's expression reveals a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"Danpo, you're so sick, doesn't Gin take you to see a doctor?"

Kudo Kazuma curled his lip, his face full of resentment: "You only think about your Amuro every day, but isn't Gin the same way?"

"He only remembers taking his little Fufu here and there, and then dumping one task after another on me. He has no time to care whether I live or die..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the cat's snow-white fur on the other side suddenly stand up abruptly.

"Meow! Speak normally, meow!"

Seeing Kudo Kazuma's mournful expression and hearing his feigned resentful tone, Neko couldn't even maintain her gentle voice.

While speaking, it unconsciously let out a few desperate meows.

Just as the cat was about to scratch someone, Kudo Kazuma suddenly stuck out a finger and pressed it against its forehead.

"Stop, someone's coming."

As soon as Kazuma Kudo finished speaking in a low voice, footsteps grew closer and closer.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The person who came was his deputy, the company's general manager, Yuki Tsugami.

Yuki Tsugami, carrying a stack of documents, spoke as soon as he entered.

"society……"

"Wait a minute!" Kudo Kazuma quickly made a stop gesture. "We agreed not to call him the president."

Being a company president in the Detective Conan world? Are you out of your mind?

Did you know that the person who has been killed the most by the Grim Reaper Elementary School is the club president?

Thinking of his boss's strange quirks and demands, Tsugami Yuuki reluctantly changed his words: "Yes, young master."

"This is the company's financial report for the six months you were away. Please take a look."

While Kudo Kazuma was looking at the documents, the cat shook its head and went back to its windowsill to sunbathe.

Just as the cat was about to fall asleep basking in the sunlight, Kazuma Kudo spoke up.

"Have you come up with a solution for that idea I sent you a while ago? Are there any difficulties? I'll be staying a bit longer this time, so we can work on developing that software."

“We have a preliminary plan.” Yuki Tsugami scratched his head. “It’s just that the development department doesn’t have experience with data exchange between the computer and mobile terminals. Multiple trials in this area have not achieved the desired results.”

"It would be even better if someone who is proficient in computers could join us."

Kudo Kazuma, with one hand in his pocket and the other supporting his chin, pondered for a moment: "Alright, you guys continue your research. As for personnel, let the HR department recruit as usual. I'll also keep an eye out for relevant talent."

It's his own company, and he doesn't plan to use people from organizations.

As for how to recruit people...

He vaguely remembered that in the early part of the story, there was a computer expert who used computer technology to kill his boss.

In this day and age, this is far more impressive than that of an average computer expert.

I wonder where this guy is right now. Hurry up and come out and kill him so he can steal her away...

Kudo Kazuma was racking his brains, trying to recall which company the computer expert worked for, when Tsugami Yuuki continued, "There's one more question..."

"Insufficient funds..."

Is a lack of funds really a problem?

Kudo Kazuma put his hands in his pockets and asked, "We'll talk about that later. You found out about that place I asked you to check before I came back, right?"

"Send me the address, then go about your business."

The cat watched Kudo Kazuma as he prepared to leave and let out a few confused meows.

To Kudo Kazuma, it sounded like the cat was asking him what he was going to do.

"I'll go over there to take a look. If we make a lot of money in the future, we'll move our company there."

After saying that, he waved to the cat.

What else can I do?

Of course, the solution is to address the funding issue.
