Gin doesn't want to work hard

Kurosawa looked up in Vermouth's direction.

But Vermouth had already looked away and therefore did not notice Kurosawa's actions.

After making out the faint figure in the bedroom on the second floor of the Kudo residence, Kurosawa narrowed his eyes.

From the very beginning, he sensed that someone was watching them from the shadows.

However, the person's initial attention was not on him.

Kurosawa didn't interfere much.

Until later, the man's gaze was almost entirely fixed on him.

Kurosawa was somewhat unhappy about this.

However, since Conan and Ran Mouri were talking to him and their attention was on him, it was impossible for Kurosawa to suddenly turn his head to look at them.

Therefore, he could only take advantage of the moment when Ran and the other person entered the house before he went in.

Look up and take a look.

However, the person who will appear at the Kudo residence at this time...

Belmode?

"Kurosawa-kun?"

Ran Mouri, who was walking ahead, noticed Kurosawa's pause and turned around to call out in confusion.

Kurosawa responded, looked away, and followed her into Agasa's house.

The door closed behind him, blocking the gaze that had once again fallen upon him.

……

"Yes, that's right."

"We should get together and discuss our next steps."

"Gin?"

Vermouth looked at the closed door and chuckled softly.

"He blocked me."

"So I'll have to ask you to make the contact, Piske."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then something was said.

Vermouth responded with an "Oh?" in a perfunctory manner.

"You are a veteran of the organization."

"If it were you, Gin would probably give you face, right?"

"If all else fails, you can go to the Boss, right?"

"Gin always listens to what the Boss says."

"So, I'll leave the task of contacting Gin to you."

He simply passed the buck to Piske.

Vermouth didn't give him a chance to refuse and hung up the phone immediately.

She glanced again in the direction of Agasa's house, a hint of inquiry flashing in her eyes.

So, are you actually Gin?

However, she will probably know the answer to this question tonight.

Thinking of the bandages on Kurosawa's arm, which were faintly bleeding, Vermouth's lips curled slightly.

The investigation is almost complete.

In addition, they encountered the variable of Kurosawa.

Vermouth also had no intention of staying here any longer.

She took a picture of that photo.

Then, after restoring everything to its original state, they left as quietly as they had come.

Apart from some areas where the dust had thinned considerably, there was no longer any trace of her ever being here.

……

"Hello, Ai!"

As Ran Mouri entered the hall, she saw Ai Haibara sitting on the sofa and immediately greeted her.

Ai Haibara looked up at her, said nothing, and simply nodded.

Then, she glanced casually in Kurosawa's direction.

My gaze lingered on his face and arms for a moment.

After confirming that his expression was normal and that he was alright, Ai Haibara looked away.

As early as last night.

Conan secretly made a phone call and told them what had happened in Izu.

Of course, the main point was to remind them to pay close attention to Kurosawa's emotions after he returned.

So, unusually, Ai Haibara didn't spend today in the lab, but instead sat on the sofa waiting for Kurosawa and the others to return.

Dr. Agasa was also aware of the situation.

So, shortly after Kurosawa entered, he handed him over the game he had just developed.

This game is for PC. You can play it by casting the screen after installing the relevant plugins on your computer.

Professor Agasa knows a lot about Kurosawa.

Naturally, he also knew the best way to soothe his emotions.

Sure enough, after Kurosawa received the USB drive from Professor Agasa, his eyes lit up.

The slightly somber atmosphere that had been surrounding him vanished instantly.

Upon seeing this, Dr. Agasa chuckled.

Conan also secretly gave Professor Agasa a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Ran Mouri pushed Conan toward Kurosawa.

"Conan, don't you like playing games too?"

"Why don't you go play games with Kurosawa first?"

Conan realized that Ran Mouri wanted to have a private chat with Professor Agasa.

But that's no reason to push him onto Kurosawa!

Conan's inner scream.

He really doesn't like playing games that much!

Even now, Conan feels his hands tremble slightly when he recalls being forced to play games by Kurosawa.

but……

Conan glanced at Kurosawa's injured arm.

If Kurosawa were left alone...

He'll definitely ignore his injury and play games all night!

To nip this possibility in the bud, Conan decides to sacrifice himself.

"Brother Kurosawa, let's go!"

Under Ran Mouri's watchful gaze, Conan pulled Kurosawa away.

Of course, before leaving the living room, Kurosawa didn't forget to bring Ai Haibara along as well.

Ai Haibara glanced at Kurosawa, but did not resist, which was taken as tacit agreement to play games with him.

Never mind, let's just go ahead and give way to the injured.

Ai Haibara thought to herself and struggled slightly.

He gestured to Kurosawa to put her down, saying she would walk on her own.

After Kurosawa and the others disappeared down the corridor.

Ran Mouri also shared her thoughts with Professor Agasa.

……

"So, you want to take Kurosawa to that private clinic for a checkup?"

After listening to Ran Mouri's words, Professor Agasa asked a question.

"Is such that."

“My dad had a check-up there before.”

"Their facilities are very complete."

"Because it's a private clinic, it doesn't feel as oppressive as a hospital."

"That way, Kurosawa-nii might not be so resistant, right?"

"Besides, wasn't his arm injured?"

"We can use the excuse of changing his dressing to take him there."

"I asked the doctors there."

"Although he is not a doctor who specializes in psychological problems, he still has some knowledge in this area."

Ran Mouri explained her plan and gave a brief introduction to the clinic.

After listening to her, Dr. Agasa felt that it was worth a try based on her idea.

"In that case, let's take Kurosawa to that clinic tomorrow."
