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

The time at dinner between Ran and Conan was incredibly heartwarming...

They don't really seem like boyfriend and girlfriend.

More like siblings or even mother and son...

Kudo Kazuma couldn't stop laughing as he watched.

"What are you laughing at?" Conan said irritably. "Eat your food!"

With a loud "bang!", Conan cried out in pain.

"Conan~ Kazuma is your brother, how can you talk to him like that?"

"Ran?" Conan looked at Ran in disbelief. "What are you talking about, Ran?"

Yi-zhen is his twin brother. Didn't he make that clear before?

And Yizhen called her "brother" more than once tonight...

Under Conan's puzzled gaze, Ran Mouri smiled particularly gently: "Conan, you need to be polite... What should you call me again?"

Her smile was so gentle that Conan seemed to realize something, and he subconsciously leaned back, asking uncertainly, "Ran-neechan?"

"Yes, Conan is so well-behaved."

Ran patted his head and asked with a smile, "I remember Aunt Fumiyo said that Edogawa Kazuma is Edogawa Conan's long-lost older brother, right?"

Conan was on the verge of tears, but forced a smile: "Yes...yes..."

Ran's smile grew even gentler: "Conan is a smart kid. Remember to be a polite kid from now on. Don't call people by the wrong name in front of others."

Conan nodded obediently on the surface, but was inwardly utterly devastated.

Damn it! Why is Ran's smile so terrifying after knowing the truth?!

She must have been corrupted by her little brother!

Kudo Kazuma, who was watching from the side, was quite interested and even ate his meal with more relish than usual.

That damn Shuichi Akai, how could he not have a miniature camera?

Look at this touching scene, it's such a pity not to have captured it on camera.

—If all else fails, it's best to have a working video camera at home.

It has to be said, some girls are truly born actors; Xiaolan gets into character incredibly quickly…

I wonder what the two of them were talking about when he went to get clothes for his older brother.

Why did he feel that Xiaolan's current state was like she had awakened some strange attribute?

I definitely have to gossip about it with Jingguang Cat and Chengshi Rabbit later!

Conan had caught a bad cold and was going through his first evolution and degeneration process, so his body was really weak.

So after dinner, Kazuma Kudo took the initiative to wash the dishes, letting Ran and Conan go to the guest room to rest first.

While I was washing the dishes, a cat and a rabbit were right beside me.

With great curiosity, Kudo Kazuma asked, "So what's going on between them? Tell me!"

Jingguang Cat was used to Kudo Kazuma's behavior, but Narumi Rabbit shook her head repeatedly as she watched his gossip-loving spirit burn brightly behind him.

“Miss Mori said that since we’re going to hide your brother’s identity, we can’t leave any clues on a daily basis, so…” Narumi’s tone was full of laughter, “So, your brother has to play the role of an elementary school student well.”

That's such a tactful way of putting it; he simply doesn't believe it's that simple.

Otherwise, why would the smaller version of the older brother have such a strange attitude towards Xiaolan's smile?

Kudo Kazuma simply set his sights on Kagemitsu the cat.

Jingguang Cat was quite perceptive: "Asou's summary is pretty good, but it's too concise."

It's just that Narumi Rabbit doesn't know much about Danpo.

"Miss Ran set a few rules for Conan. The first rule is that he can't address her randomly in front of others, especially outsiders. He must call her Ran-neechan."

"Secondly, if you encounter any organization-related matters or dangerous cases, you must call her or yourself immediately. Do not act recklessly."

"The third rule..." Jingguang Maomao's gentle voice also carried a hint of suppressed laughter, "In your daily words and actions, you must act like a real elementary school student, and you can't let anyone see through your act..."

"Hiss—" Kudo Kazuma gasped, a very subtle smile appearing on his face.

Could it be that Xiaolan has actually awakened some strange attribute?

The next day, because she had to go to school, Ran got up early to make breakfast, and after eating, she left with Conan in her arms.

Kazuma Kudo specifically asked him to ask Conan for leave these few days, estimating that he would need to rest for a few more days.

After seeing off his older brother and his childhood sweetheart, Kudo Kazuma strolled over to Professor Agasa's house in Beika Town 2-chome.

As he stood in front of Agasa's house, he received a message on his phone.

Ran finally went to school. I've been thinking about this for ages since last night. Why did I suddenly turn back? Was it because of that bottle of baijiu from Hattori Heiji?

Kazuma Kudo lowered his head and typed rapidly.

"You don't still want to drink, do you? Even if you were Shinichi Kudo, you're still underage. Drinking is illegal, don't you understand?"

what?

You're saying that Kudo Kazuma wasn't an adult and that he drank alcohol?

LOL, he only drinks when he's Danpo, a member of the organization—why would an organization member care about whether drinking is illegal?

I'll try it later.

—That's what high school detective Shinichi Kudo said.

Are you here to play on your phone?

A childish voice rang out from not far away.

Kudo Kazuma looked up from his phone screen and saw a little girl standing in front of him wearing a beige undershirt and a light purple coat.

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Where's the doctor?"

Why is it a miniature version of Shiho Miyano opening the door for him?

Shiho Miyano's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness: "He was researching how to make an electric skateboard faster, and he didn't hear the doorbell at all."

"Oh, anyway, I'm not here to see the doctor."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged, squatted down and said to Shiho Miyano, "Just wanted to tell you that yesterday my brother—Shinichi Kudo—briefly turned back into his original form."

Shiho Miyano's eyes widened instantly.

"What did you say?"

"literal meaning."

As they walked inside, Kazuma Kudo gave Shiho Miyano a brief explanation of what had happened the day before.

"Based on my initial assessment, it is likely due to a severe cold combined with the effects of baijiu (Chinese liquor)."

"As for the time... since I don't know why I also suffered, I really didn't have time to take into account the time from the onset of the reaction to the change. I can only confirm that the time he grew bigger was probably less than ten minutes."

Shiho Miyano nodded and asked, "Then it seems there's no blood sample from when he transformed?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "Of course not, I'm in so much pain, how could I have the time to have my blood drawn?"

"You must have some baijiu (Chinese white liquor), right?"

"Yes, I brought it with me."

Shiho Miyano took the bottle of baijiu: "Research is not a problem, but the research equipment is insufficient, so we can only conduct preliminary research—you'll have to find a way to provide that."

Kazuma Kudo nodded: "Alright, I'll arrange everything for you in the next couple of days."

Anyway, he's not short of money now, and once the antidote is developed, he'll have other uses. He might be able to make more money than he's currently working on Bond.

Shiho Miyano nodded in satisfaction: "One last thing... if you want a precise comparison of the effects, remember to draw blood next time."

"It hurts a lot, okay?" Kudo Kazuma said helplessly. "Do you want there to be a next time?"

Shiho Miyano couldn't help but chuckle softly: "It's up to you. Anyway, I'm not the one who wants the antidote..."

She felt that being a child was quite nice.

It would be even better if I could see my sister someday...
