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

Conan originally planned to spend the night at Kudo Kazuma's place after dinner.

He has too many questions that need to be answered.

Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo, those two irresponsible people, abandoned them and ran away. Surely their little brother can't run away too, can he?

Yes.

It wasn't that Kudo Kazuma deliberately abandoned him; it's just that the boy's body couldn't handle spending too much time together.

Seeing that Kazuma Kudo started to have a fever during the meal, Conan didn't dare to stay with him for even a minute longer.

Before he finished eating, he used the excuse of going to the toilet to slip away.

After settling the bill, Kudo Kazuma, in front of Mouri Kogoro and Ran, called a car from the organization to pick him up.

Don't ask, the answer is to call a colleague to pick him up.

He planned to go directly to Base 4, which was far away from Beika Town—when in doubt, stay away from death for safety.

After the car arrived, Kazuma Kudo exchanged a few polite words with Kogoro Mouri. Once the father and daughter had left, he casually opened the car door.

Kazuma Kudo: "?"

Looking at Gin, who was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat, and then at Vodka, who was turning his head to look back in the driver's seat, Kudo Kazuma subconsciously closed the car door again and took another look.

It's not a Porsche 356A...

Did he open the door incorrectly?

When he opened the car door again, Gin, who had been resting with his eyes closed, had opened them and was looking at him with the same look he was giving an idiot, while Vodka in the driver's seat looked puzzled.

"Danpo? Do you have a fever?"

Once in the car, Kazuma Kudo nodded: "Indeed, even you could tell. It seems the fever is quite noticeable."

“Oh…” Vodka turned his head knowingly, took a thick black trench coat from the passenger seat and handed it to him, “Here’s the coat you wanted.”

After handing the jacket to Kazuma Kudo, he nodded and started the car.

So Danpo was delirious from the fever; no wonder the door had to be opened twice.

Kudo Kazuma was indeed a bit delirious from the fever, otherwise he wouldn't have failed to understand the meaning behind Vodka's words.

He put on his coat and asked with some doubt, "Brother, aren't there any other drivers in the organization?"

It's just picking up one person, any outsider will do, right?

Is it really necessary to bring vodka?

Even if Vodka is a driver, he's still a core driver with a code name, right?

Gin glanced at him.

"He has a high fever."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and went to rest.

Kazuma Kudo: "??"

Vodka, who was driving, couldn't help but say, "Big Brother knew you were sick, so he specially sent me to pick you up—the base also prepared a doctor in advance."

Kazuma Kudo: "???"

He did tell the staff that he had a fever, and even asked them to bring him a jacket, but...

"Are the outside worlds so useless these days? They have to report such a small thing?" Kudo Kazuma moved closer to Gin. "Or is it that you've been free lately, so you came to pick me up?"

Gin snorted and didn't even bother to open his eyes to look at him.

"I understand." Kudo Kazuma smiled brightly. "It must be because my older brother is more free."

"Even you, Big Brother, are so free, it seems you don't have any missions—I haven't been feeling well lately, so please don't assign me any missions, okay?"

Gin glanced at him: "Okay."

"Thank you, brother!" Kudo Kazuma raised his hand and gave Gin a thumbs up.

But inwardly, I thought to myself: It seems there really aren't any missions lately...

Back at the base, Kudo Kazuma wanted to head straight to the canteen as soon as he got out of the car—he hadn't eaten properly for dinner because of his fever, and the late-night snacks at the No. 4 base canteen were pretty good, so he wanted to fill his stomach first.

Unfortunately, he was stopped by Gin after only a couple of steps.

"Go inside, the doctor is waiting."

"Hey, hey, hey... no, it's not a big problem. Eating will make me half better! Big brother, please let me go..."

He's already safe and sound, far from death. Even with his enhanced recovery abilities thanks to his spiritual power, he can guarantee he'll be fully recovered the next day after drinking some hot water and getting some sleep.

Unfortunately, Gin didn't give him that chance, dragging him through the main hall and into a small room next door that served as a medical room.

A short while later, Kudo Kazuma, who had just received an injection, came out of the medical room looking quite annoyed.

"I want to eat!" he sprawled on the leather sofa in the main hall, puffing out his cheeks. "I want the chocolate cupcakes from the base's canteen!"

"This fever is a minor problem. I just didn't eat enough at the restaurant and my immune system is weak. I can easily get better by eating something. Why did you insist on dragging me to get a shot?"

"I know my own body best. Brother, why aren't you listening to me? Do you just want me to get that injection?"

As he spoke, he raised his foot and tried to kick Gin, who was ignoring him, twice: "Say something, bro? Bro? Gin? Are you feeling guilty?"

Gin shifted two spaces to the side, and Kudo Kazuma's foot immediately slipped into the air.

He pulled his foot back and said irritably, "I don't want to move now that I've had an injection, but I want to eat! I want the chocolate cupcakes from the cafeteria! Nothing else will do, I don't like anything else..."

Gin, far from Tanpo, carefully maintained his beloved Beretta, treating all the muttering around him as white noise.

Finally, Vodka couldn't stand it anymore and called over one of the peripheral members, asking him to bring Danpo a small chocolate cake from the cafeteria.

Outsiders: "???"

This peripheral member happens to be the one who was dragged by Kazuma Kudo to bring him food last time and then kicked away by Gin...

He glanced furtively at Lord Danpo, who was lying on the sofa chattering away, then shrank back and quickly ran to the cafeteria.

Ten minutes later, after finishing his chocolate cake, Kudo Kazuma stretched contentedly and planned to go back to the room he had stayed in last time to sleep.

Before they had taken two steps, Gin said, "Take a rest. We'll see Sherry tomorrow."

"Huh?" Kudo Kazuma lowered his arms. "Why do you want to see her? Big brother, you promised me in the car that you wouldn't assign me any missions."

"It's not a mission."

Gin looked up at him: "Sherry found out about Miyano Akemi's matter, and she's been making a big fuss about it these past two days... Didn't you have a solution last time? Go and handle it."

"Last time?"

Kudo Kazuma briefly recalled the so-called "last time," and immediately became expressionless.

When Gin said "last time," he probably meant the time he spared Miyano Akemi's life, transferred her to Sherry's side to do odd jobs, and used this to gain more control over the sisters.

That method is based on the premise that Akemi Miyano is still alive!

Now that Miyano Akemi is dead, Gin has remembered that he has a solution?

What can he do?

Take the cat Mingmei to Sherry and tell her, "This is your sister. If you don't behave, I'll strangle her."

What's going on?

What's the point of this?

"Big brother, Miyano Akemi is dead, what am I supposed to do with Sherry? Kill her? You really didn't give me a task, you just gave me a problem right away..."

With Akemi Miyano dead, Sherry's defection was inevitable.

Previously, he could find a way to keep Sherry in the organization by using Akemi Miyano, and then secretly obtain information related to APTX-4869 to make an antidote for his unlucky brother.

Now……

He glanced at Gin with a sense of helplessness, a pang of pity rising in his heart for the brewery's model worker...

Forget about "dealing with" Sherry now; if Sherry were to try to defect, he would be the first to support her in order to make an antidote for his unlucky brother!
