People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

"...Where am I? What's this smell? The infirmary? Oh right, I was carried here."

In a daze, Shinichi Kudo slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Ran's worried face.

"Wha...what?!"

He raised his hand to look at himself and found that he hadn't shrunk as he had imagined. Shinichi Kudo felt a joy that made him want to cry.

"Hey Kudo, you're finally awake."

"It's alright."

"That's great, you're awake."

Looking around, Hattori and Asakawa Yu were all gathered around him, including Haibara Ai.

When she saw Shinichi Kudo suddenly collapse to the ground in pain, God knows how worried she was. She couldn't even imagine what would have happened if Shinichi had turned back to normal at that moment.

"Don't make him worry, okay?" Ran's worry finally eased a bit when she saw that Shinichi Kudo had woken up.

Asakawa Yu, who was standing to the side, hadn't said anything because he had never seen Kudo Shinichi in front of Ran before, and since they had finally met, he decided to give them some time.

"Hey, Asakawa-kun, could you come out for a second?" Just then, Hattori waved his hand at the door. Seeing this, Asakawa Yu didn't say anything and followed him outside.

Once outside, as expected, Hattori Heiji immediately asked about Kudo Shinichi.

"Hey, what's going on here? Why are Conan and Kudo showing up at the same time? Aren't they...?"

Hattori suddenly realized they were outside, so he lowered his voice.

"That was indeed the real Shinichi Kudo. As for the Conan you mentioned, he was actually Ai Haibara in disguise, just to fool Ran."

After the cause and effect were explained, Hattori understood why things had come to this.

"So that's how it is. That Conan was actually the young lady in disguise. I was wondering why he looked so strange today. It turns out it wasn't the same person."

Conan had already told Hattori about Ai Haibara before, so he wasn't surprised.

"Alright, it's about time. We should go in now." After checking the time, Asakawa Yu said to Hattori, and the two of them went inside.

Upon entering the infirmary, they saw Shinichi Kudo chatting and laughing with Ran and the others, and immediately forgot their earlier worries about him.

Walking up to Shinichi Kudo, Asakawa Yu smiled and said, "It seems you've recovered quite well, Kudo-kun. Nice to meet you. My name is Asakawa Yu, and you should already know the person next to me."

Asakawa Yu pointed to Miyano Akemi next to him. While he and Hattori were outside, Miyano Akemi had been with Ran and the others. Ran should have already introduced her to him.

Shinichi Kudo scratched his head, not quite used to Yu Asakawa's polite manner.

However, in order not to arouse Ran's suspicion, he still responded to Asakawa Yu's greeting.

"Hello, Mr. Asakawa. I've heard Ran and the others talk about you before."

"Shinichi, you should be feeling alright now, right? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Although Shinichi Kudo said he was fine, Ran was still a little worried.

"I think everything should be fine now. I probably just fainted because I was too tired. Don't worry too much." Shinichi Kudo laughed and skipped over the topic.

"That's it..."

Seeing that Shinichi Kudo was alright, the other students who were still in the infirmary said it was about time to go back, as there were still a lot of things left for them to take care of.

"Shinichi, you should rest well for now. We'll come see you when we're done." After giving her some more instructions, Ran left with a little worry to go back and help her classmates tidy up the venue.

"It's alright, Ran. You two go ahead. We, Hattori, are here." Asakawa Yu said, noticing their worry.

After looking back with concern, Ran left with Sonoko, leaving only Hattori Heiji, Asakawa Hare, and the two sisters, Miyano Akemi.

Kazuha said she was going to help Ran and the others, and just now she left with them.

After everyone else had left, Shinichi Kudo stretched and yawned. "Ah~ It feels so good to be back in shape!"

"Heh, you still have the nerve to say that." Ai Haibara, playing Conan, glared at Shinichi Kudo.

"Do you know how much of a commotion it would have caused if you had actually turned back right there?! Do you even remember what you promised me?"

Seeing that Ai Haibara was still angry, Shinichi Kudo didn't dare to say much, only muttering under his breath, "It's alright now..."

Unexpectedly, Ai Haibara overheard this and exclaimed, "How dare you say that?!"

"Alright, alright, you know what he looks like. It's worse to keep him from going out to deduce things than to kill him." Asakawa Yu rarely spoke up for Kudo Shinichi.

"But Kudo, remember this: during the time you're back to normal, you'd better keep a low profile. This time, Hattori and the others, along with Inspector Megure, are covering for you, but next time..."

Asakawa Yu didn't finish speaking, but Kudo Shinichi understood what he meant and nodded obediently.

"Alright, your body has limited time to recover. What are your plans for the future?" Asakawa Yu comforted Ai Haibara by patting her head while asking Shinichi Kudo about his next plans.

"Speaking of which, I've already reserved a table at the Mika Central Building."

Ok? ? ?

Upon hearing this, Akemi Miyano's eyes lit up instantly, even though she hadn't said a word until now.

"You mean... you're going to confess your feelings?!" Asakawa Yuya became interested in this.

"Huh? Kudo, you said you're going to confess to Ran?! So soon?" Hattori was stunned to hear that his best friend was about to confess.

"Hmm... because if I don't confess this time, who knows when I'll get another chance." Shinichi Kudo sighed, a sense of helplessness washing over him.

"Sigh, good luck. I'm rooting for you this time." Heiji Hattori patted him on the shoulder. He was powerless to help Shinichi Kudo in his situation, so all he could do was cheer him on.

"Then you'd better work hard and conserve your energy. Don't turn back halfway through your confession tonight."

"Huh? No way? Didn't they say the effects of the medicine would last until tomorrow?" Upon hearing Asakawa Yu's words, Kudo Shinichi had a bad feeling for a moment.

"As I said, this drug is still in the experimental stage, and I don't know how long it will last," Ai Haibara said.

Hearing even Haibara say that, for some reason, Shinichi Kudo had a vague feeling that he would turn back into his original form just as he was about to confess.

No, no! Shaking his head, Shinichi Kudo banished that thought.

No one can stop themselves from confessing their feelings tonight!
