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

Chapter 75 Thanks to Jingguang Cat

"Where did you come from..."

Kudo Kazuma was speechless, and retaliated by rubbing the cat's paws in his hands.

"Of course I popped out of my mom's belly!"

However, even while he was in his mother's womb, he was so weak because he was too close to the woman next to him...

On the day of his birth, Kazuma Kudo was immediately admitted to the ICU, and he was resuscitated several times before he was even a month old.

"I guess it's because I'm too weak, constantly teetering on the brink of death. My brother can already sit on the bed and tear up my dad's books, while I'm still in the hospital..."

He shrugged, looking rather helpless: "To be honest, I didn't have any particular illness. I was just too weak. I was on the verge of death not long after I got home, so I basically grew up in the hospital."

"That's why, apart from very close relatives, no one else knew that the Kudo family had a second child."

However, how many particularly close relatives does the Kudo family have?

Not many.

His parents are lazy and free-spirited.

So even though my parents often leave my older brother alone with the nanny, or even just with our neighbor Professor Agasa, most of our relatives and friends don't find it strange.

Perhaps everyone thought that the young couple had just left their son to go out and have fun, but who would have thought that they were going to the hospital to be with their youngest son?

“When I was four years old…” He hesitated, then began to embellish his words, “a craftsman came to our door. That guy said I couldn’t spend any time with my brother, or I would definitely get sick. He also said I wasn’t suitable to stay in the Kudo family at all…”

"Although what that guy said was very unscientific, like he was making it up, there was nothing wrong with what he said, and I was quite close to him, so I left with him."

Upon hearing this, Chengshi Tutu couldn't help but exclaim, "Your parents are really carefree! You're only four years old, and they're already letting you go with strangers..."

Kazuma Kudo twitched the corner of his mouth. Isn't it common knowledge that Yusaku Kudo and his wife are carefree?

"Then how did you get into the organization?" Jingguang Cat continued to ask curiously. "Could it be that Gin was the one who took you away back then?"

"Are you kidding me?" Kudo Kazuma was speechless. "When I was four, Gin was only sixteen. My parents wouldn't be so careless as to let a sixteen-year-old take me away, would they?"

Jingguang Cat: "...Hard to say..."

In his opinion, it was absurd that the Kudo family parents would let a four-year-old child go with a stranger, regardless of whether the person was male, female, old or young!

This is something that Kudo Kazuma finds difficult to explain.

When Yuehu first came to him with a disposable puppet body, he was the one who took the initiative and strongly insisted on going with Yuehu.

The frail child threw a tantrum, crying, screaming, and threatening suicide, and Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko were completely unable to stop him.

Moreover, when he was calm, he seemed much more mature than Shinichi Kudo, who was trying to coax a little girl on his first day of kindergarten.

"Hard to say? Then don't say anything."

He rolled his eyes, taking the opportunity to omit the reason why he joined the organization.

After all, he joined the organization purely to collect spiritual essences and, incidentally, to hone the skills he received from the system rewards in actual combat in order to improve his combat strength.

This is the world of Detective Conan, and he is naturally being backfired by the death god power carried by his unlucky older brother. If he doesn't strengthen himself, who knows when he might die inexplicably?

However, these were all decisions he made himself.

With his clone present, Kudo Yusaku and his wife had no idea he was in the organization a few years ago. By the time they found out, he had already been given a codename.

“Edogawa… um…” Narumi hesitated for a moment, “Should I call you Kudo-kun?”

Kazuma Kudo was quite indifferent: "Whatever, normal people can't understand what you're saying anyway."

Narumi Rabbit choked for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "It sounds like the organization you're talking about isn't a safe place, is it? I'm curious, do your parents know about this?"

Seeing Kudo Kazuma nod, he was speechless again.

Well, the Kudo parents really are carefree...

Jingguang Maomao remained silent to himself—he used to think Danpo was an undercover agent, but now it seemed there was more to the story.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; Danpo was only thirteen years old when he saved his soul.

What respectable family would let a thirteen-year-old infiltrate an organization?

Seeing that the cat and rabbit were no longer talking, Kudo Kazuma simply got up and sneaked towards the bedroom—he wondered if the two childhood friends had finished chatting.

Most importantly, he wanted to know if his brother had been beaten up...

Through the crack in the door that wasn't fully closed, Kudo Kazuma peeked inside...

Uh, wrong angle, I can't see anything.

His desire to watch the drama unfold made him want to simply send a clone into the room.

Fortunately, Jingguang Cat was understanding and squeezed into the room through the crack in the door. When it went in, it wiggled its little bottom, successfully widening the crack in the door.

Now we can see it!

Kudo Kazuma clasped his hands together.

Thanks to Jingguang Cat, I'll try to avoid messing with Bourbon in the future, Kemen.

The "heart-to-heart talks" in the bedroom have turned into Xiaolan's one-sided interrogation.

With red eyes, Ran grabbed Shinichi Kudo by the collar and asked, "So why didn't you tell me about something this big? If it weren't for this accident today, how long were you going to keep it from me?"

Shinichi Kudo leaned back with difficulty, looking troubled. "I just... I just don't want to involve you... I don't know how dangerous that organization really is, and I'm afraid that if you find out..."

"Am I so unworthy of your trust?"

The tearful question abruptly interrupted Shinichi Kudo's somewhat weak explanation.

Ran loosened her grip on Shinichi Kudo's collar, took a step back, and asked him again, word by word.

"Shinichi, in your eyes, am I really that untrustworthy?"

Seeing his beloved girl shed tears again, Shinichi Kudo panicked.

"No, Lan! How could I not trust you? I just don't want you to get hurt because of me!"

"Believe me, Lan, there have been several times I couldn't help but want to confess to you, but I was worried... um..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shinichi Kudo suddenly clutched his chest.

Kudo Kazuma, who was peeking from outside the door, also felt a sudden pain in his chest and couldn't help but continue cursing.

So we have to do it again?

Is it going to get better soon?

"Shinichi?" Ran forgot her anger and rushed to check on Shinichi Kudo's situation.

The throbbing pain in his heart made Shinichi Kudo unable to suppress his painful groans.

Although Kudo Kazuma, who was outside the door, wasn't as badly hurt as his older brother, he was still in so much pain that he was breathing carefully while cursing in his mind.

When Chengshi Rabbit arrived late, she saw his face contorted in pain and quickly asked, "What happened to you?"

"It's nothing... It's probably just the natural connection between twins..." Kudo Kazuma said, panting. "Once my brother turns back, I'll be fine..."

Shinichi Kudo, who was in the bedroom, heard everything his brat brother said.

So he has to turn back?

The pain was so intense that he was losing consciousness, and his mind was racing with all sorts of wild thoughts.

When did the connection between twins become so strong?

He didn't seem to feel anything when he was really upset as a child...

Is this because they're afraid Ichijin hasn't suffered enough?

And it sounds like Ichijin really does know something...

And... when exactly did this brat get to the door?

"You bastard...you, you didn't...have been eavesdropping, did you?"

Kazuma Kudo: "?"
