Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"I didn't go around much during the day, but now it seems that this house is really quite big."

After greeting Minarelia and her wife in advance, Kudo Yuji took Conan, who had just finished taking a shower, to walk around the Mina family home and happened to meet Okita Souji who was patrolling with a knife.

"Oh, Hattori! And Conan-kun, are you two also on guard against Kid everywhere?"

Although he knew that the Hattori in front of him had a wrong accent and might be a fake, Souji Okita did not expose him. This was because he had roughly determined the identity of the fake through Conan and Yuuji's disguise in the Izumishin High School drama.

"Now that there's no one else around, I won't call you by your pseudonym, Kudo-kun."

Okita Souji sighed and patted Kudo Yuuji's shoulder: "Kudo-kun, you must have had to disguise yourself as Hattori to avoid that woman from Ooka."

"Oh, why do you say that?" Yuji put his hands on his hips calmly.

"Ooka, I'm sure you won't be able to punch this guy in the face even if you become a loser. That's why you pretended to be Hattori."

Life is so helpless sometimes. You obviously want to treat the other person equally and as a friend, but the handle is like the urge to urinate every morning, always coming to you consciously.

"Oh, I'm sure..."

The same words rang out in Kudo Yuuji's right pocket. He took out a pen that could record, pursed his lips and shook his head. It was such a pity for Okita Souji.

Senior Okita, you don't want Senior Ooka to know about this recording, right?

"Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with that senior sister Tie?" Kudo Yuji approached Okita Souji with bright eyes, and then pretended to be arrogant: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not concerned about your love life, I just asked because you look a lot like my brother."

[If it is put in a love story, this is probably called substitute literature? ]

Knowing that Yuuji was deliberately disgusting Souji by using the lines in Kaori's comics, Conan rolled his eyes and kicked the stone at his feet into the darkness behind the house.

"Eh?!"

The stone that should have rolled to the back of the house actually bounced back, which made Conan stare at the dark place in confusion and finally saw a light yellow tail at the corner.

"So it's a cat..."

He turned his head a little speechlessly, and saw that his brother and Okita were curious about him and stopped talking about love, so he waved his hands and said, "It's Feng's cat, not Kid."

"Kitty, come to think of it, I haven't seen my three pets in a long time. They must have missed me so much."

Yuuji made a completely unfounded assumption, not knowing that his two dogs had always been fed with the best dog food because Yukiko and Yuriko were competing for Rize's favor. As for Kudo Yuuji, he was just a past tense who bought ordinary dog ​​food, but the kitten slept in his bed at Kudo's house every day.

"Oh, why do you two look so grim all of a sudden?" Conan was shocked when he found himself suddenly covered by a shadow. He looked at his brother with some understanding: "Is this thing very big?"

"You're right."

It is impossible for an ordinary cat to completely cover a primary school student, so when Conan looked up, he met the face of a big tabby cat and clearly saw the white barbs on the other's tongue when it yawned.

"Ahahaha, why does this guy look more like a tiger than a cat? I think I must have been in the bath for too long and my mind is not clear anymore."

The elementary school student staggered to the left, lay down beside the flowing pond in the yard, took a handful of clean tap water and wiped his face.

"Gro, handpagro."

The white cloth was handed to Conan in due time. He closed his eyes, thanked him, took the cloth, wiped the water stains on his face, and turned around to see something even more terrifying.

A huge, talking frog head was staring at him with a dazed and confused look on his face, and he was actually in human form, standing upright and wearing clothes.

"Wow, big brother, you look so special. I almost thought you were a frog."

Conan was sweating profusely as he slowly moved towards Yuji and Okita. Just when he was about to get completely away from the tiger and the frog, a vulture landed directly in front of him, and its long beak almost touched Conan's head.

"Hey, I just took a shower, where did you bring this to me?"

Conan was debating whether to play dead or run over to the two guys, but the three animals didn't move, which made him relax a little.

"Okita, do you know them?"

The younger brother was obviously asking about the one among the three who had the best relationship with the Feng family.

"I haven't heard of it. It might be Uncle Feng's pet. After all, he's almost 40 years old, so it's normal for him to have some special hobbies."

"Well, do you think your girlfriend's family might have some weird animals?"

Souji Okita kept silent. As for whether he thought what Kudo Yuji said was great or a bunch of shit, the Kudo brothers didn't get a reply because Lelia came over.

"Hey, how can you scare a kid! Kagetora! Shonosuke, Grozaemon!"
