After successfully stopping the elementary school students' next haunted house adventure, Kaedehara was able to live a peaceful life.

Now he uses his memories in Hawaii every day to learn various techniques, or helps Dr. Asasa to make inventions together.

After all, he lives in the doctor's house every day, and he also depends on the doctor for various expenses such as food, and although the doctor doesn't mind, Kaedehara can't do it with peace of mind.

Originally, he was neither a genius who could publish papers in top journals at the age of eleven, nor a hands-on expert who was good at crafting since he was a child, and if it weren't for the fact that Kudo Shinichi had learned some messy things in Hawaii, he would have only had to make a mess for Dr. Asasa.

Now, some simple work can still be done.

Moreover, he also has a lot of "ideas".

Today, the wind and sun are beautiful, which is not suitable for otaku to go out, so he stayed at home and worked with Dr. Asasa to transform the "snoring sound elimination earplugs". As mentioned before, the earbuds are able to block out the sound of snoring alone, and it does not affect the reception of other sounds at all.

After the transformation, this earbud will add a small roulette wheel, which can optionally block out some specific sounds.

Kaedehara didn't understand the principle, although Dr. Asasa said it was quite simple.

He was in charge of assembling, testing, recording the data, waiting for Dr. Asa to transform it, and then repeating the process, interspersed with occasional drags of Dr. Asa out of the rubble of the explosion.

In order to sell the product and realize his dream of becoming a rich man, Dr. Asa did a little more, and by the time the two of them finished work, it was already dark.

"Doctor, I'm going to order takeout."

"Okay," Dr. Asasa said, putting away all the earbuds, "Oh yes, Sora, I'm going to have chicken cutlets, cake, and Coke today!" ”

It's unhealthy.

Kaede Yuan complained in his heart and walked out of the workshop to make a phone call.

Dr. Asasa's diet highlights a three-high full, and Kaedehara tried to persuade him a few times, but the effect was not great, so he didn't force it.

By his temperament, he doesn't like to force.

At this point, he pursued Confucius's "advice and good way, do not stop, do not humiliate yourself", that is to say, persuade if you can persuade, and forget if you can't.

Kaedehara picked up the phone.

Then he didn't do anything and just put down the phone.

"Kaedehara, Kaedehara!" Edogawa Conan's voice came from afar, Conan was wearing a schoolboy dress, panting as he ran, shouting while pushing open the door, and was relieved to see Kaedehara in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

"Kaedehara!" Conan gasped and said, "Help!" Our identities are about to be revealed by Xiaolan! ”

During the day, he followed Uncle Maori into a case, but he got carried away with the case, causing Maorilan's suspicions.

“… Then you can't mention it more? ”

"It's useless! It's all to blame for what you said last time that you were sent out to foster care before," Conan shook the pot, "She now thinks you're Shinichi's relative, and I'm Shinichi himself." ”

“… So it's you, not us, who are being debunked. ”

"Don't worry about the details! I have to hurry back, or Ran will be suspicious," Conan said as he shoved the bow voice changer into Kaedehara's hand, "Anyway, wait for my news, and help me call Ran when the time comes!" ”

Holding the bow voice changer, Kaedehara watched Conan run out of smoke and was speechless.

He actually has a voice changer, but it's a button type, and because it's smaller, it only carries Kudo Shinichi's voice.

After talking to Dr. Asasa and telling him not to make a noise later so as not to be exposed, Kaedehara sat near the phone and waited.

It didn't take long for his smartphone to light up.

A message from Conan, which is just a few numbers typed in haphazardly.

Kaedehara stood up, walked over to pick up the phone, and turned on the button-type voice changer.

"Hey, Maori Detective Agency......" Maorilan's voice sounded a little impatient.

"Hi, Xiaolan! Long time no see, miss me? ”

"Who, who would miss you-" Mao Lilan subconsciously retorted, and then reacted, "New, new ......?" How could it be, Shinichi he ......"

Maoriran looked at Conan, who smirked.

She just thought that Conan was the new one, but...

"What, I miss you a lot, without you, Watson, I feel like my brain is going to rust."

Shinichi he misses me...

Mao Lilan's face turned red, "I don't want to be Watson!" ”

Don't say anything superfluous, you guy! Although he couldn't hear what Kaedehara was saying, Conan roared inwardly from the sidelines.

"Really? So who do you want to be... It can't be Mrs. Hudson, right? ”

"What! A new big fool! Really! Xiaolan said dissatisfied, "It's rare to call back, so I don't want to listen to what you say about Sherlock Holmes!" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... You see, Xiaolan, we haven't been separated much before, and I don't know what to say after seeing each other for so long..."

"Shinichi..."

"Ah, that's right, Xiaolan! How's it going, how are you doing? ”

"It's okay, it's still the same every day. But Shinichi, you listen to me......"

Conan listened for a while, and looked at the smile on Maolilan's face that was slightly fascinated. He almost forgot the last time Xiaolan smiled so happily.

He wanted to change back.

More than ever.

……

After some time.

Kaedehara hung up the phone, yawned, and glanced at the time.

Noticing that the restaurant Dr. Asasa was going to eat was about to close, Kaedehara quickly picked up the phone and ordered a takeout.

Dr. Asasa, who was eavesdropping in the distance, came over with a look of disgruntle.

"I'm sorry... Doctor, I didn't expect Xiaolan to be able to say that. Except for the perfunctory response to the current situation of Shinichi, it is basically Xiaolan who is talking and listening.

I haven't seen her for a while, Xiaolan seems to want to share everything that happened after the separation with "him", and even the cases she didn't want to talk about in the past were told to him one by one.

Dr. Asa grimaced at Kaedehara, and then went back to work on the invention and prepare for the meal.

Kaedehara walked around the back of the couch and sat down across from Conan.

Conan has been sitting here for a long time, and now he is hanging his head as if he is thinking about life.

"Hey, Kaedehara," Conan said, "I have a question. ”

"Huh?"

"You said we were both a new Kudo couple, right?" Conan looked up, "I think I'm Shinichi Kudo, and it's understandable that you think you're Shinichi Kudo... But why would you think I'm Shinichi Kudo like you in the first place? ”

Is this doubting me again? Kaedehara was stunned. But he was prepared for this.

But before he could respond, Conan immediately continued: "Just now you and... I basically heard Xiaolan's conversation. I don't remember some of the memories you mentioned on the phone when you were with Xiaolan, and after listening to you say it, I vaguely recalled that there seemed to be such a thing. ”

Conan looked at Kaedehara, looking a little confused, "So... I'm curious. ”

"Am I really Shinichi Kudo?" Conan said.

……？

Are you doubting yourself?

This was a surprise to Kaedehara.

After noticing that Conan had slipped over quietly, he deliberately mentioned a few things on the phone that only Shinichi and Xiaolan knew.

This will not only deepen Xiaolan's trust, but also Conan's trust.

I just didn't expect it to come to this.

Could it be that they are pretending to test me like this?

Kaedehara turned around and said, "What do you think, of course you are Kudo Shinichi." Isn't it normal to forget something? Besides, you remember it all now, right? ”

"Then why are you so sure?"

"Because I'm subconscious, you're the epiconscious." Kaedehara scored twice.

"......" again?

"When Shinichi Kudo passed out and his body changed," Kaedehara added, "his subconscious was still awake. ”

Conan's eyes widened, "So you saw them all?" ”

"Uh... I can't say it's seeing, it's more like feeling," Kaedehara continued, "and getting smaller and splitting is almost all something that happens at the same time in an instant..."

Stare at...

Believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

Conan, who had been fooled, seemed to return to his usual appearance in an instant, which made Kaedehara feel that this guy was deliberately pretending to be deep to test himself.

And although I filled a loophole, I had to tell another lie for this... If it goes on like this, it feels like sooner or later it will be exposed.

Life is so hard.

After a while, when Dr. Asa asked, Conan remembered that he had come over and didn't tell Xiaolan, so he went to call in a panic, saying that he was playing games at the doctor's house and would not go back.

Xiaolan, who couldn't find Conan, was relieved.

And Kaedehara and Conan really started playing video games.

Two people, one is a game idiot, and the other is a perennial big disciple of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, who has raised his own hands and is not familiar with the games of this era, and as a result, they actually have a mutual victory.

This gave Conan a rare taste of the fun of the game.
