Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Is everything ready?"

In the basement of Dr. Agasa's house, Yuuji was walking down the stairs from the first floor slowly, holding a lollipop in his mouth. In the direction he was looking, Hiroki was sitting in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard while watching the pictures on the screen about the future and the museum.

The images on the screen kept shutting down until there was only one idle game left. Hiroki then got down from the computer chair and walked to the bed and patted it.

As the bed flipped violently, there was a sound of a mechanical lock being unlocked from under the bed, and a brand new Kidd combat suit appeared in front of the two, along with a pistol and information monoculars.

"Suits made of bulletproof fabric can protect against most handgun bullets, as long as they don't hit your neck or face directly."

Hiroki found a sample fabric from a corner and pulled it hard to show Yuuji: "This bulletproof material is the latest product I asked my dad to get from the United States. Because the coating of the fabric has the characteristic of dispersing kinetic energy, it will disperse the impact to the side when hit by a bullet."

"So the pressure is reduced. Even if I get hit by a bullet, it's just a bruise at best, and there won't be any fractures or anything like that."

"I was planning to make you casual clothes, but you sent me a message in the middle of the night insisting that I make you a Kid suit at the last minute!" Hiroki glared at Yuuji with resentment.

"Then we should talk about why you're up in the middle of the night."

"cut!"

Yuuji picked up the pistol and examined it carefully. This poker gun was the same as Kaito's and had no major changes. It just had a small pull rod that could control the muzzle to become larger, so that by shaking the arm violently during firing, the cards could fly like a boomerang.

"The roads only have simple smoke bombs and micro-capsule bombs placed on both sides of the belt."

Hiroki put one hand on his waist and shook his head in confusion: "Do you have to get involved? Isn't it good to just stay at home and watch Kaito perform on TV? Going out is tiring and boring."

"I remember you used to be a lively and active kid. Who turned you into such a nerd?!" Yuji looked at Hiroki in silence and said, "It seemed like it was me..."

Sighing, the boy sat on the chair and took out a can of coffee from the small refrigerator that Hiroki placed on the computer desk. "Tonight is more like Kaito's escape game than Kidd vs. Suzuki."

"Oh?"

“Look.” Yuuji snapped his fingers: “Kuroba Toichi will definitely change sides at the last minute. After all, as long as Yuko acts like a spoiled child, this couple will definitely…”

"Kuroba Kaito will be betrayed by his own father..." Hiroki chuckled: "I really want to see his expression at that time."

[Is there something wrong with this kid...?]

Yuuji coughed and said, "What will happen if Kaito loses? He will be caught by the Suzuki Group and then reveal that he is Kidd."

"Although the Kuroba couple will ignore their son's failure, they are unlikely to sit back and watch him die, right?"

"Dad told me last night that Kuroba Touichi might take this opportunity to make his son give up Kidd and become an ordinary high school student, and then he can turn back into Kidd. We haven't figured out the specific method yet."

Yuuji took a sip of coffee and didn't finish what Kudo Yusaku said. In fact, the novelist also believed that the Metropolitan Police Department might intend to assign Kid to do something dangerous, and Kuroba Toichi would not agree, and would definitely find a way to completely resolve Kuroba Kaito's identity as Kid in the near future.

(Yusaku Kudo: On Hachijojima, Minami Masamune had someone give that kid a police identity. It wasn't given for nothing. The old man didn't do everything without considering whether others would be hurt by his plans. Kuroba Toichi was afraid that the guy would push his son to death, so he had this gem operation as soon as the case was filed. Yuuji, you found a good girlfriend.)
Yuji remembered clearly what Kudo Yusaku said while sitting at the desk with a cup of coffee.

(Boy: Yeah, actually it was Kaori who chased me at first, and I didn’t know her grandfather was so scary.)
There is no doubt about it, dad’s expression is definitely one of “You are so lucky”.

"Anyway, I have to go to the scene so I can respond at any time." (End of this chapter)
