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

After that, the case was declared closed due to the deaths of Murakami Takeshi and Sawaki Kohei.

Afterwards, Akemi Miyano and the others went to the hospital for treatment, and after more than half a month of rest, they have almost recovered.

Ring ring ring! ! !

"Welcome, may I ask... Ah! Ayami-neechan! You're finally back, I missed you so much."

During her recovery period, Miyano Akemi stayed at home and rested. Even though she kept insisting that she was fine, Asakawa Yu and Haibara Ai still refused her request to come back to work.

This is one of the few times that Asakawa Yu and Haibara Ai stand on the same side.

"Alright, alright, Mina, I'm back now."

Touching Fujiwara Mina who was hugging her, Miyano Akemi replied with a mixture of relief and helplessness.

"I heard from the boss that you were injured and hospitalized. I was planning to visit you sometime, but the boss kept refusing, saying that you were fine."

After saying that, Fujiwara Mina pouted, looking aggrieved.

So, you have a problem with me?

Just as Fujiwara Mina was still ranting about Asakawa Yu, a voice came from behind her.

Although the tone sounded calm, it was nothing short of a death knell for Mina Fujiwara.

"Ah...boss, actually I was just saying that you're handsome and considerate of your employees. I was definitely not saying anything bad about you behind your back!"

Fujiwara Mina stood up straight, looking as if she was absolutely not lying, which made Miyano Akemi laugh.

"Oh... really? I think I heard someone saying something about a bad personality behind my back just now. Did you hear that?"

Asakawa Yu looked at Fujiwara Mina with a half-smile, which startled her quite a bit.

"I...I have to go to work now! Let's talk later, boss!"

After saying that, Fujiwara Mina darted away from Asakawa Yu like a mouse encountering a cat.

"Hey boss, can't you stop scaring Mina all the time?"

However, seeing that the two of them were still the same as before, Miyano Akemi suddenly felt a sense of comfort, and she liked this feeling very much.

"Alright, now that you're back, get back to work. You still owe me rent."

"Yes, yes, I know."

Afterwards, Akemi Miyano threw herself into her workday with great enthusiasm.

Before they knew it, it was afternoon. There were very few customers in the shop, which gave Asakawa Yu and the others time to rest.

While he and Akemi Miyano were still chatting, a few more customers came into the shop, but they were more like there to cause trouble than customers.

"welcome!"

"Hey Kudo, why did you suddenly invite me over for coffee?"

A familiar voice came from the doorway, along with another voice that Asakawa Yu recognized but couldn't quite place.

"Eh? It's Conan! Hello, and who is this...?"

"This is my friend. We're looking for Asakawa-nii. Is he here?"

When someone asked who the person next to him was, Conan gave a few perfunctory answers before starting to ask about Asakawa Yu's whereabouts.

"You mean the store manager? He's inside. Go find him yourself."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Fujiwara-neechan." After thanking Fujiwara Mina, Conan pulled the man next to him toward himself.

Although it was their first meeting, Asakawa Yu already recognized who it was. There was no one else but him who would meet Conan as Kudo in public.

Heiji Hattori, a high school detective from Osaka.

"Hello, Asakawa-nii. We've come to discuss something with you." As soon as they met, Conan got straight to the point, indicating that he had come prepared.

"By the way, Ayami-neechan, is your injury healed yet?" Naturally, Conan didn't forget to inquire about Miyano Akemi's injury.

"Thank you for your concern, Conan. I'm almost fully recovered." Seeing Conan's concern, Miyano Akemi responded with a smile.

"By the way, Asakawa-nii, let me introduce you. This guy next to me is Hattori Heiji, a high school detective from Kansai. You should have heard of him."

"Hello, sir. My name is Hattori Heiji, and I'm from Osaka." Hattori took off his hat, revealing his entire face.

Sure enough, she really does look a lot like Shinichi Kudo, but the only difference is that she's so much darker-skinned!

This reminded Asakawa Yu of a picture of Hattori Heiji that she had seen in a certain novel by Red Persimmon in her previous life. Standing next to Mori, he was completely integrated with the darkness.

"Hello, my name is Asakawa Yu, and the lady next to me is Karasawa Ayami. Since you are Conan's friend, you are my friend too. I'll treat you to coffee."

"Hello you all."

After listening to Hattori Heiji's self-introduction, Asakawa Hayao and Miyano Akemi also briefly introduced themselves.

"Actually, Asakawa-nii, we came here this time to invite you to go out with us." Conan got straight to the point as soon as he finished speaking.

"Hey Kudo, you..." When Conan invited him, Hattori was a little confused, so he lowered his head and asked in a low voice.

"Actually, they know my real identity is Hattori."

As expected, Hattori Heiji looked surprised when he heard that Asakawa Yu and the others knew Conan's true identity.

"You...you mean...they know that you are Shinichi Kudo?!"

"You idiot! Keep your voice down!"

!!!

After noticing that everyone's eyes were turning to him, Hattori Heiji quickly lowered his voice, but his surprised expression still revealed his astonishment.

“He’s right, Hattori-kun, but we’ll keep this a secret, so you don’t need to worry too much.”

Seeing Hattori's surprised expression, Asakawa Yu suddenly realized that this kid was actually quite interesting.

"Oh, I see. But you're being too polite, buddy. You can just call me by my name." After accepting the situation, Hattori reverted to his usual carefree demeanor.

"I see. Then I'll call you Hattori. By the way, you guys just said you wanted us to go somewhere together. What's that about?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Asakawa Yu asked the same question again.

"Oh, right, actually, I'd like to ask you, Asakawa-nii, to come with us to investigate some things." Conan said from the side when Asakawa Yu asked.

"Investigation? Where to?"

"Let me introduce this to you, sir. The place we're going to is called Mermaid Island."

"Mermaid Island!?"
