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

With Shinichi Kudo turning back into Conan, the peaceful days returned once again.

For several days in a row, Asakawa Yu didn't encounter a single case, which was probably because Conan wasn't around.

Recently, they have returned to their daily lives. Conan and his friends go to school as usual, and Asakawa Yu and his friends run their shops as usual.

It's so mundane it feels a bit unrealistic. If only life could always be like this...

But if he hadn't been looking at the constantly changing dates on his phone, he would have believed it.

That's true. As long as Conan doesn't turn back into his original form and the Black Organization isn't eliminated, this strange timeline will never return to normal.

But then again, wouldn't this be a form of immortality for me?

Um... I shouldn't keep thinking about these random things.

jingle!

The wind chimes at the entrance rustled, a signal that someone had come into the store.

But when Asakawa Yu looked up, she realized that what had come was not a guest, or rather, it wasn't a person at all.

"Where have you been these past few days?" Looking at Pochi perched on her shoulder, Asakawa Yu was curious about where the guy had flown off to these past few days.

But after seeing what it had brought in, it turned its attention to that thing.

"This is... a letter?"

“I saw this at the entrance of your shop. Just now, when I was about to fly in, I saw this placed by the window upstairs, so I brought it to you.”

Pochi made a series of incomprehensible noises, which were incomprehensible to outsiders, but Asakawa Yu could understand them.

"Boss, are we having guests?" Miyano Akemi, who was practicing making desserts in the kitchen, thought that another customer had arrived when she heard the voice.

"No, it's Boqi. It even brought a letter." As she spoke, Asakawa Yu picked up the letter and waved it around.

"Oh, I see. It's been a long time. You seem to have gained a lot of weight." Miyano Akemi smiled as she looked at Pochi.

Before this, whenever Pochi came to the store, it was always Akemi Miyano who fed it, so Pochi was closer to Akemi Miyano than Yu Asakawa.

After hearing Miyano Akemi say that it had gotten fat, Pochi seemed somewhat dissatisfied and spread its wings, as if to say that it was not fat, but strong.

Ignoring the jokes made by Miyano Akemi and Pochi, Asakawa Yu opened the letter on her own.

What comes into view is a small white card.

From the Lion at Dusk to the Maiden at Dawn

[The clock without a second hand reaches the 12th word]

Descending from the bright sky pavilion

[Accept the Egg of Memories]

—The Phantom Thief Kid, the magician of the end of the century, has arrived.

At the very bottom corner of the card is a small figure of Kaito Kid, which is undoubtedly a pre-announcement from Kaito Kid.

But what's strange is why it was sent to me?

"Boss, could this be a notice from Kaito Kid?" Miyano Akemi was a little surprised when she saw the name Kaito Kid in the lower right corner.

"Well, I don't know why it was sent to me." Asakawa Yu tossed the notice onto the table listlessly, seemingly uninterested in it.

"Boss, don't you want to go and take a look?" Seeing that Asakawa Yu seemed uninterested, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but ask.

"I don't really want to go. I'm more curious about why he sent me the notice."

After thinking for a while, Akemi Miyano asked somewhat uncertainly, "Could it be because of last time?"

"Last time?"

Seeing this, Akemi Miyano continued, "That's right, it's the time last time you took us to the rooftop of the Beika Restaurant to see Kaito Kid. Maybe it's because you deciphered his premonition last time that Kaito Kid wants to have another showdown with you this time."

"Hmm... well, it's not impossible," Asakawa Yu said, stroking his chin.

"Shall we go together? Let's go see Phantom Thief Kid and check out his target this time."

"Huh? Can I go too?" Miyano Akemi was a little surprised when she saw that Asakawa Yu seemed to want to take her along.

"What? You don't want to go? Let's treat it as a trip, and catching Phantom Thief Kid can come second, okay?"

Since Asakawa Yu had already said so, Miyano Akemi naturally wouldn't refuse, "Then let's go together!"

"By the way, about that Egg of Memories..."

Knowing what Miyano Akemi meant, Asakawa Yu said, "That so-called Egg of Memories seems to belong to the Suzuki family now, and recently the Suzuki family seems to be taking it to Osaka for an exhibition."

Asakawa Yu pointed to the notice in the newspaper and explained it to Miyano Akemi.

"I see, so we're going to Osaka this time?"

"That's right, we haven't really explored Osaka properly yet."

After making their decision, Asakawa Yu and the others began to plan out the whole scheme, completely putting the matter of Kaito Kid out of their minds.

Kaito Kid: No, don't I have any pride?

-----------------------------

Time flew by, and soon it was the day before Asakawa Yu and the others were to set off.

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri is sitting in the police conference room, but he doesn't fit in with the others.

On stage, Inspector Nakamori is recounting matters concerning Phantom Thief Kid and how to capture him.

The police officers in the audience were filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could arrest and torture Kaito Kid on the spot.

Kogoro Mouri took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, looking like a husky that had wandered into a pack of wolves.

…………

"Dad, the meeting is finally over." As soon as he stepped out of the meeting room, he saw Ran and Conan walking towards him.

Following behind them were Asakawa Yu and Miyano Akemi.

"Hi, Mr. Mori." Asakawa Yu greeted Mori first.

"Oh, it's Asakawa, and Miss Tangze too. What brings you to the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Miyano Akemi nodded to Mori, and then Asakawa Yu took out a white card. "I think we've come for the same reason."

After realizing that it was also a notice, Mori understood the whole story.

"But why do you also have a notice?" This is the only thing Mori doesn't understand. Asakawa doesn't seem to have any connection with Kaito Kid.

Asakawa Yu shook his head with a wry smile. "Actually, I don't know why I received this notice, but it was indeed sent by Phantom Thief Kid. Inspector Nakamori and the others have also confirmed the handwriting on the letter."

After receiving the letter, Asakawa Yu dialed Officer Nakamori's number.

After understanding the situation, Officer Nakamori asked Asakawa Yu to come to the Metropolitan Police Department to see him later.

And that's how the current situation came about...
