Ten years later.

I slept for a long time.

Ash Yuan opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze for a few moments before he came to his senses.

She rolled over and looked to the side.

The guy who said last night that he was going to take care of himself with a cold is not here.

It was something she had known for a long time, though, because she woke up when the guy woke up and went back to sleep.

She just wanted to take a look.

"Pervert..."

Muttering softly, Gray Yuan yawned with a sigh of relief.

Then she reached out from under the covers and picked up her phone next to the bed.

There is also an old-looking shark charm on the phone. Although she has had a lot of mobile phone accessories over the years, she still has a soft spot for the first mobile phone charm in her life.

Lighting up the phone screen and looking at the time, Gray Yuan Wai was a little surprised to find that it was almost ten o'clock at this time.

I slept for so long...

Neither Kudo nor Dr. called me because they thought I had a cold and wanted me to rest?

Really, I've already told him that it's almost good, and I still have class today...

Gray Yuan Wai got up while thinking, then stretched a comfortable waist and stretched his well-developed body. The youth of a high school girl is fully revealed in her.

That's right, she grew up.

The organization had been dismantled ten years earlier, and their original identities were only known to a very small number of people who could be trusted, and they were not revealed.

At the same time, she has also succeeded in developing an antidote that can permanently restore the body and an antidote that can make elementary school students grow up normally.

Conan Edogawa chose the former for Moriran, and she chose the latter with Kaedehara. So she successfully grew from an elementary school student to a high school student with Kaedehara.

During this time, Kaedehara also gained a new identity and became the child secretly born to Yusaku Kudo and his wife when they were in the United States.

Although some things don't make sense, Yukiko Kudo is both enthusiastic and persistent about it, and Yusaku Kudo agrees with it, so after some effort, they still succeeded in doing it.

And after that, because Yusaku Kudo and his wife still like to travel all over the world, and the doctor is very reluctant to let them leave, Kaedehara continues to live in the doctor's house.

Gray Plains mourning too.

She pressed her face lightly, and couldn't help but think of what Kaedehara had done last night, and faintly felt a little hot on her face. Then she let out a long sigh of relief, and then put on the high school uniform that was lying next to the bed, opened the curtains, and walked out of the bright room, ready to wash.

In the bathroom mirror, a beautiful girl is reflected in the mirror. Speaking of which, she's not much more than Shiho Miyano was before she became a child...

"Oh, who's this girl in the mirror? It's so cute~" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind her, "Sister, I can't help it..."

"You're also in the mirror, are you boasting about yourself?"

Gray Yuan Wai did not look back, but spoke directly to the person who appeared in the mirror. The other party has long black hair and bright eyes full of gentle smiles.

"yes, who am I talking about...", the man pointed his finger to his chin and smiled, "Ah, I remember, yes-"

She paused.

"-Xiao Shiho!"

Akemi Miyano stood on one tiptoe, leaned slightly and threw herself at Ashbara, hugged her, and rubbed her head against her face.

This attack was too violent, and Gray Yuan Wai couldn't bear it a little, so he tilted his head and let go of the way, but he didn't refuse the hug.

"Sister," Gray Plains asked, "why are you here?" ”

Today is a weekday, she herself was supposed to go to school, and her sister also has to work, so she asked.

"Of course, I'm here to see Shiho! Really, I've been waiting here alone for a long time..."

"Alone? What about the Doctor? ”

"He hurriedly went out not long after I came, he must have gone on a date with Aunt Fusae, right?" Akemi Miyano took Ashbara's arm and pulled her out of the bathroom with her, "Your Kudo went out before the doctor, the refrigerator was empty, he went to buy something and came back..."

It turned out that Kudo didn't go to school either...

"What about my sister? Not going on a date? ”

"I thought you didn't like the Maharaja..."

The Maharaja refers to the stars and is a pseudonym used by Shuichi Akai when he was undercover in the organization. Because she is used to being called like this, Akemi Miyano herself doesn't want to change it, so this title has continued to the present.

"I don't like him," Gray Yuan replied, "I wasn't happy ten years ago, sister, you didn't want to be with him..."

After Akemi Miyano reinstated her identity, Shuichi Akai also deliberately changed her Japanese nationality, after all, he and Akemi Miyano are actually cousins.

Despite this, Ashihara still has a negative opinion about Akai Shuichi because of his sister's use of his sister's undercover organization and Judy's affairs, but in the end she chose the same attitude as Kaedehara -

Respect Akemi's own choice.

In other words, no matter.

It's good that my sister is happy by herself.

"The Maharaja, he can't help it..."

"I've heard this many times. Forget it, who made you so stupid, sister. And then what? You guys aren't going to be awkward again, are you? ”

"Damn, you actually said your sister was stupid..."Akemi Miyano tried to knead the delicate face of Ai Ashbara.

"Is it really awkward?" Gray Plains protested, asking.

My sister avoided talking about the latter words, indicating that the matter was said by herself. But this is not the first time, and Gray Yuan is not very worried.

"Not really." Akemi Miyano hurriedly denied it, "Don't talk about me, there are still some egg porridge in the kitchen, can you eat a little to pad your stomach first?" ”

She hurriedly pressed Gray Yuan Ai on the stool, and Gray Yuan Ai had no choice but to sit honestly and watch Miyano Akemi run away to serve porridge to herself.

The porridge was still warm, and it was kept warm before.

"Sora's craftsmanship is really good." Seeing her sister pick up the spoon and eat it, Akemi Miyano praised that she had already eaten it.

"He's been studying for a long time..."

Gray Plains took a small bite of it. The familiar smell fills her lips and teeth, making her feel better.

In the past ten years, Kaedehara has also learned to cook, although the level can only be said to be very average, but he is still good at some of the dishes she prefers.

Akemi Miyano also sat down, and just sat across from Ash Hara with her chin propped up, looking at her quietly and gently.

"That's good," said Akemi Miyano when Ashbara was almost finished, "You two have been inseparable for so many years, and your relationship is still so good..."

"Sometimes it's a mess," Gray Yuan put down the spoon, "So, sister, you're really still making trouble, right?" ”

"Not really!"

"Then why are you saying that kind of thing..."

"No is nothing! My relationship with the Maharaja is good! ”

"And when are you going to get married?"

Penetrate armor.

Akemi Miyano showed a melancholy look.

"I don't know when he will propose, really, if it weren't for Dr. Asasa here, I would have thought he was the most outrageous man in the world..."

"Speaking of doctors, I'm angry." Gray Plains agreed.

"By the way," Akemi Miyano suddenly remembered something, "then again, it's really too much, you didn't even tell me about such an important thing..."

"What?"

"What about you and Sora."

"What about me and him?" Gray Plains was a little puzzled.

Do you mean you're dating him?

But she and Kudo have been dating since the first grade of elementary school, and my sister has known about it for a long time, so it's definitely not what I'm talking about.

And what about the rest?

"Of course it is—" Akemi Miyano smirked.

Gray Yuan Wai had a bad premonition in his heart.

Remembering something, she turned her head towards the door, noticing that there were several unpacked delivery boxes on top of the cabinet next to her.

Gray Yuan's face changed instantly.

"Sister! How can you unpack someone else's courier! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Akemi Miyano folded her hands in apology, but her eyes were full of smiles, "The doctor asked me to help unpack his parcel before he went out, and I didn't take a closer look at it and opened it all..."

"Sister!"

"So when the hell did you guys do that?"

"W-What, that's..."

"I still want to hide it from my sister!" Akemi Miyano got up, crossed her waist and leaned over to look at Gray Yuan's mourning, her mind was full of gossip, "But you two have such a good relationship and live together, it's normal to do this..."

Gray Yuan Wai didn't reply, and hurriedly got up and ran towards the door. She scrambled to close one of the boxes, then ran back to her room with the box in her arms.

It's all Kudo's fault, it's something that can be bought at a convenience store or supermarket, but he has to choose to shop online...

He pressed his cheek, and when the temperature on his face had cooled down a bit, Gray Yuan walked out of the room as if nothing had happened.

Akemi Miyano stood next to her, looking interrogated.

"Looks like you're not going to be honest?"

“… What are you talking about, sister? Gray Yuan Wai showed an innocent expression.

Poof.

Akemi Miyano couldn't help but laugh.

Shiho's acting skills are really getting better and better.

Akemi Miyano also knew that her sister was actually very thin-skinned, so she didn't plan to get to the bottom of it, after all, she had gained a lot today.

She thoughtfully changed the subject.

"Forget it, it's not too early," she glanced at the time, "Sora is almost back, let's go prepare the ingredients first, shall we?" ”

It's all here, she plans to cook lunch with them, and Kaedehara went out to buy because of this.

"Is it okay?" Gray Yuan Wai breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "If you don't go back at noon..."

"It's okay, he's busy today, he's going to eat a boxed lunch outside at noon," Akemi Miyano replied, "Leave him alone..."

Because of his previous identity, it is difficult for Akai Shuichi to join the Japanese public security, and he has little interest in being an ordinary policeman.

However, he joined the Kudo Detective Agency and has some cooperation with the Japanese public security officer Zero Tsuiya, so he also has a lot of things to deal with.

"What about Seliang?" Gray Plains then asked.

"She and her aunt went to Kyoto to investigate the case, anyway, it's just the three of us at noon today. Does Shiho want to be a little more lively? ”

"No, it's just up to you guys to go shopping with great fanfare..."

As she spoke, she heard the door open.

"I'm back."

Kaedehara pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a lot of bags in his hands.

He heard the voices in the living room before he entered the door, so when he entered, he looked directly at the location of Gray Yuan's mourning.

After all, he hadn't seen her in a while.

But Gray Yuan Wai just snorted lightly, and turned his head away from his gaze, looking a little emotional.

However, Kaedehara, who already knows Ash Yuan very well from the inside out, also knows very well that she is not really angry.

Of course, it's still a bit of coaxing.

"Welcome back!" Akemi Miyano glanced at her sister with a slight hint of urgency, then turned her head in response, and then laughed again.

She hurriedly ran over to help take the bag from Kaedehara's hand.

"What's wrong with Gray Plains?" Taking advantage of the handover, Kaede Yuan asked in a low voice.

"How do I know about you..."Akemi Miyano's eyes were still full of smiles, "Anyway, you must have made her angry..."

Kaedehara blinked, glanced at the cabinet next to him out of the corner of his eye, and immediately understood the reason. Several couriers on the top of the cabinet were opened, except for the one he bought...

Plus the wording of Sister Akemi just now...

It turned out to be shy.

It's so cute...

Kaedehara changed his shoes, and then walked directly to Ashbara's side.

"Ashbaranda?"

"What's wrong?" It's not enough to ignore him, so Gray Yuan Wai still turns his head to look at him, and then prepares to criticize him for his online shopping.

But then she was attacked.

The touch on her lips made her pupils instantly widen, and then returned to normal.

After all, she was used to it.

Then she reached out and hugged Kaedehara and responded.

For a long time, the lips parted.

Only then did Gray Yuan Wai come back to his senses, and looked around in a little panic, his face was still flushed, "Sister, sister is still here..."

"Why...," Kaedehara said, "Akemi-san has already gone to the kitchen..."

Although he noticed that Akemi-san was actually peeping there.

However, his gray plain is really easy to coax...

And although the scene just now must have been seen by her sister, but as the so-called covering her ears and stealing the bell, now she didn't see her sister, so Gray Yuan Wai was still a little relieved.

Still holding Kaedehara, looking at him with eyes that she couldn't take her eyes off her eyes, she then asked, "Didn't you go to school either?" ”

"Don't worry you're home alone. I had already asked for leave before Sister Akemi came, so I won't go. ”

"I'm not a child..."

"Alright," Akemi Miyano's voice came from the kitchen, "since you're tired of it, let's help your poor sister, right?" ”

Akemi Miyano couldn't stand it anymore.

These two are obviously inseparable every day, and they are so crooked, and they are still in front of themselves, which is too much!

She decided to improve her presence.

Next, the three of them made lunch together.

Although his cooking skills are not worth mentioning in front of these two people, Kaedehara's knife skills are unique, so he also plays his own role.

It was only not long after they started to eat that Akemi Miyano received a phone call.

However, Akemi Miyano neither answered nor hung up directly, but turned off the sound and put the phone where she could see it.

“……”

"Alright, then-"

"You'd better pick it up quickly," Gray Yuan said helplessly, "If you wait a little longer, even if the other side doesn't hang up, the phone will be over..."

"Yes, yes?"

"yes." Kaedehara echoed.

Akemi Miyano answered the phone with some embarrassment, and the other side of the phone was also as Kaedehara and Ashbara thought, it was Shuichi Akai calling.

He made a reservation for a restaurant, but forgot about it because he was busy with work, and only then did he remember it, so he called Akemi Miyano in a hurry.

The price is that he coaxed for a long time.

Of course, Akemi Miyano wasn't really angry, so after hanging up the phone, she hesitated a little.

"Come on," Gray Yuan Wai simply got up and urged his sister who was not worrying, "I don't want to be complained by you in the future that I delayed you..."

"Really, Shiho, is your sister such a person in your eyes?" Akemi Miyano was a little dissatisfied, and glanced at the food on the table again, "Besides, I worked hard to cook, but I haven't eaten much..."

"Well," Kaedehara said, "we can help with the food." ”

"That's right!"

“……”

It was still a few minutes before Shuichi Akai came to pick him up, so Akemi Miyano stubbornly ate some first.

And because Shuichi Akai had already booked a hotel, and it was not good to disturb the time of the two of them, Kaedehara and Ashbara Ai did not leave him to dine here, but sent Akemi Miyano and Shuichi Akai away.

"Really," Closing the door, Gray Yuan couldn't help but complain to Kaedehara, "Why are we surrounded by such unconscious guys?" ”

It's so familiar...

"yes, especially the Doctor."

Kaedehara nodded earnestly in agreement.

The two of them then ate for a while, because they had drunk egg porridge not long ago, and Gray Yuan Wai was soon full. Then they cleaned up the table and utensils together, and the two of them, who had nothing to do, decided to go to the school.

It's still time for club activities.

The midday sun was a little dazzling, making Gray Yuan Wai can't help but squint.

In the past ten years, there have been many changes in the neighborhood, such as the trees next to it have grown taller and many new buildings around.

These changes are witnessed by them together.

On the way, they also passed a shopping mall, and a TV station was showing an interview with the famous detective Heiji Hattori and his wife and assistant Hattori Kazuha on a large screen outside the mall.

Kaedehara and Gray Plains stopped here for a while.

"Recently, there has been a lot of discussion on the Internet about fertility issues, what do you think of Hattori Detective?" The reporter on the screen asked.

"I said, I'm a detective, not a critic!" Hattori Heiji, who was shiny black and shiny in a suit, was a little impatient.

"Do you have any plans to have children?" The reporter turned to look at Kazuha Hattori, who was wearing professional attire.

"Huh? Who, who would want to have a baby with such a guy! ”

"Stupid! Don't just answer a question! ”

The two people on the screen made a noise, and the reporters on the side did not stop them, but had an expression of knowing everything under control, and the ratings rose in an uproar.

"They're still the same," Gray Yuan commented.

That being said, they actually haven't seen each other for a few weeks with Hattori. It is worth mentioning that Hattori and Kazuha got married four years ago, and the wedding was on the same day as Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan's wedding.

To be precise, they were held together.

In fact, Hattori Heiji originally wanted to wait for Kaedehara's wedding, but because he had to wait too long, he reluctantly dispelled this idea after Kaedehara also helped persuade him.

Kaedehara and Ash Hara also attended the wedding together.

They have kept in touch over the years, and they have tasted the bickering between Hattori and Kazuha many times, so after watching it for a while, Kaedehara and Gray Yuan Wai left here.

When I came to Didan High School, I entered through the familiar school gate, and there were people who were very familiar with them on the way. As the core members of the famous junior detective group, they are very famous in school.

On the way, many people greeted them, and they responded one by one, and then came to the club building together.

Soon they arrived at the classroom, which had been used for club activities, and on the door of the classroom was a small metal sign that read "Detective Department" in gold lettering.

Kaedehara pushed open the door, and Ash Yuan let go of the hand holding him, then tilted his head and touched his head lightly before walking in.

One of the curtains in the classroom was opened, and the sunlight that came in was a little dazzling, making Gray Yuan Ai can't help but squint.

"Little sorrow! Kaedehara! ”

A familiar voice came.

Ayumi Yoshida pounced on Ashbara with a happy face, grabbed her arm, and pulled her towards the table.

Kaedehara didn't care about the fact that Gray Yuan Ai received a much warmer welcome than himself, but sat down in his seat after greeting Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Motota.

"Xiao Ai, is your cold cured?" Ayumi leaned slightly sideways to look at Gray Hara's face, trying to judge her physical condition by her complexion.

"Well, it's already."

"Great!" Ayumi said happily, "We're really worried! I was just talking about going to the doctor's house to see you..."

"Yes," Mitsuhiko chimed in, "but you'll have to get some rest!" Don't be reckless!

"Anyway, Gray Plains—"

"I've had lunch and have a good meal every day. And I don't have much interest in eel rice. ”

"Huh?" Yuan Tai was stunned for a moment, and touched his head in some confusion, "How do you know that I want to invite you to eat eel rice?" ”

"Yuantai, your mind is full of eel rice!" Mitsuhiko said.

"yes, yes..."

"I said, you should pay attention to me a little too." Kaedehara emphasized his presence.

"Ah, yes, yes! The report of that case has come out! Ayumi remembered something, picked up the newspaper in front of Mitsuhiko and put it between Ash and Kaedehara.

On the front page is a photo of their junior detective group.

"The Junior Detective Corps has won a big victory!"

"Thanks to Kaedehara, it immediately occurred to me that the prisoner might be a taxi driver!"

"Because the murderer is completely imitating the plot of the Sherlock Holmes story." Kaedehara said modestly.

A few days ago, there were several bizarre deaths in Rice Flower Market, and the deceased seemed to have committed suicide by taking drugs, and there was no connection.

With some familiar plots, no traces of the deceased being tied, and the difficulty of sending the victim while still alive to a completely unrelated remote location without attracting attention, Kaedehara guessed that the murderer might have been a taxi driver.

After obtaining information from the taxi company and some road cameras, the Takagi Police Department quickly zeroed in on the culprit.

They didn't have a new case today, and they quickly started chatting.

"Where are you going after graduation?"

"Yes, you and Ashbara are not here in the morning, so Mr. Wakasa will let us think about it!"

"My words," Kaedehara replied, "to go to college, of course, and then to the Kudo Detective Agency..."

The Kudo Detective Agency was naturally opened by Kudo Shinichi.

It has a number of detective partners in the form of a law firm, including Shuichi Akai, Masumi Sera, and Marie Akai, who has just graduated from college.

Sora Kaedehara, or Sora Kudo, is also one of them.

Kaedehara didn't have the idea of starting anew. He is not short of money.

Of course, Gray Yuan Ai is also going to college with Kaedehara, and the main thing is to experience the life of a normal person.

"Ayumi wants to go to the Kudo Detective Agency in the future!"

After Motota and Mitsuhiko expressed their thoughts, Ayumi also expressed her thoughts.

Gray Hara looked at Ayumi with some concern.

"It's okay," Ayumi understood what Gray Hara was worried about, they had talked about this before, "I didn't want to go to Conan..."

Edogawa Conan followed the Edogawa couple to settle in the United States on the surface, and also said that Conan and Kaedehara are not really twins, but just relatives who happen to be very similar. But the keen Ayumi still vaguely guessed that Conan was actually the current Kudo Shinichi.

It's just that some people will never have the chance again once they miss it, even if they can meet again.

Ayumi then explained in a low voice, "I just thought it would be fun to work with my best friends!" You're going too, right? ”

"yes." Gray Plains nodded.

She actually intends to continue to be a scientist. But times have changed, and she can do scientific research and command a team even at home, so she doesn't really have much idea about her career.

Time continues to flow.

agreed to eat eel rice another day, and after school, they dispersed and went back to their respective homes, while Ash Yuan was dragged by Kaedehara to eat at the restaurant outside.

The weather also changed as it was said, and soon thunder began.

Thunder pierced the sky.

However, they still rushed to the restaurant they had booked before the rainstorm fell—

"Lookout restaurant?"

Gray Yuan looked at the environment of the restaurant with some curiosity.

Although it had been ten years since that dream, when she was there now, she vaguely felt that the decoration here looked almost exactly like the one in that dream.

In fact, what happened today also made her feel a sense of déjà vu. However, things went in a completely different direction, so she didn't worry too much, but her heart raced a little because she guessed something.

"Whose credit card are you bringing this time?" Sitting in a familiar seat, Ash Yuan looked at Kaedehara, who was studying the menu.

"Mommy's. She also called to help reserve a seat. ”

Gray Yuan Wai subconsciously glanced around.

"Don't worry, she's not here," Kaedehara said, "If nothing else, she should be waiting for us at the doctor's house right now..."

Yusaku Kudo should be the same.

Gray Yuan is not the only one who has guessed what will happen next.

Gray Yuan just glanced deeply at Kaedehara.

After a few meals, she was a little full, and then she quietly looked at Kaedehara's face reflected on the glass.

"Want to hear a story?" Kaedehara asked.

Gray Yuan turned his head and looked at Kaedehara with one hand on his chin.

She looked carefully into his eyes and saw the girl in the pair of eyes smile slyly, "I don't want to." ”

She couldn't wait.

"It's just right," Kaedehara couldn't help but chuckle lightly, "Actually, I don't have a story to tell, just ask..."

He stood up.

Gray Yuan leaned slightly.

He held a delicate little box in his hand.

The lid of the box was open, and inside was a ring.

Ash Yuan Ai just glanced at the ring and stopped looking at it, but stared at Kaede Yuan tightly.

In her sight, as in the story, he walked up to his female companion, got down on one knee, and said to her earnestly—

“ich liebe dich。”

Gray Plains spoke softly with him.

Kaedehara's eyes sparkled, and he quietly looked at the miraculously lovely girl in front of him, and only followed up after a while:

"Let's get married, Grayplain."

Gray Yuan Ai tilted his head slightly and looked into his eyes, not hiding the joy in his eyes at all.

"Okay."

She held out her hand.

He took her hand and carefully helped her put the ring on, then took out another ring to put on his own hand.

However, Gray Yuan Ai immediately took the ring and took care of it for him.

"But," stroking the ring on his hand, Gray Yuan looked at Kaedehara and whispered, "We're not of marriage age yet." ”

The age of marriage in Japan has been adjusted to 18 for both men and women.

And in order to enroll, she reported her age one year less than she was on the surface, so she was still a little worse than Kaedehara.

"We'll be old enough by the time we graduate," Kaedehara blinked, "Weddings also need time to prepare. ”

"Ah, Mr. Detective is so thoughtful..."

"Because when I dream, I think about it..."

The proposal went as smoothly as expected, and Kaedehara sat back in his seat with peace of mind, holding his head and looking at the gray bara on the other side.

I can't get enough of it.

Gray Yuan Ai looked at him like this, feeling his familiar and soft gaze.

The current scene and the thunder outside made her feel like she was back in a dream.

It's as if time has been turned back ten years.

"Kudo...," Ash Hara shouted quietly, so low that only she could hear it.

"I'm here."
