Gin doesn't want to work hard

Chapter 163 Testing

Kurosawa was unaware of Professor Agasa's plans.

He was silently watching Conan at that moment.

Logically, with two gaming partners, Kurosawa's gaming experience should be better.

But Conan seems a bit off today.

Compared to before, Conan's reaction time has slowed down considerably.

From the beginning until now, he has almost never been able to keep up with Kurosawa's movements.

After Kurosawa once again tried to pass a key item to Conan, but Conan failed to catch it, Kurosawa put down the game controller and turned to look at Conan.

Conan, who was being stared at by Kurosawa, chuckled awkwardly.

Although Kurosawa didn't say anything, Conan seemed to see a hint of accusation and...disdain in his eyes?

However, this is indeed his problem.

Conan was a little embarrassed.

Perhaps the impression left by playing games for two consecutive days without sleep last time was too deep.

Conan now feels uncomfortable whenever he holds a game controller.

Although Conan wanted to play with Kurosawa seriously, he just had a hard time concentrating.

It seems there's a conflict between my inner thoughts and my mind.

This was the first time Conan had encountered such a situation.

He didn't know what to do either.

Conan could only blink and look back at Kurosawa with an innocent expression.

Kurosawa: ...

Kurosawa withdrew his gaze.

He stood up, grabbed Conan by the back of his collar, lifted him up, and walked towards the door.

"Wait, Kurosawa-kun, let me try again!"

Conan tried to struggle.

To be honest, he didn't feel particularly averse to playing video games.

But he just couldn't concentrate.

In this situation, it has to be said that Conan's curiosity has been piqued again.

He wanted to play a little longer and try again.

But Kurosawa, already fed up with Conan's poor performance, didn't want to see him again.

Kurosawa carried Conan all the way to the door.

Open the door, throw it away, close the door.

The movements are done in one go.

"boom!"

Conan looked at the door that had been closed in front of him and somewhat embarrassedly withdrew his hand that had been trying to hold it back.

When it comes to games, it's best to go along with Kurosawa.

otherwise……

Memories of being hit on the head by Kurosawa flooded back.

Conan subconsciously touched his head.

Anyway, Ai Haibara is with Kurosawa, so nothing unexpected should happen.

With that thought in mind, Conan went back to the living room to find Professor Agasa and the others.

……

Without Conan, who can't keep up with the pace, it's a shame.

I have to say, the gaming experience has improved a lot.

Just as Kurosawa was getting engrossed in the moment, a cell phone in his pocket vibrated slightly.

This subtle vibration.

It was undoubtedly the organization's specially modified cell phone.

Kurosawa paused in his movements.

The little figure he controlled also paused for a moment, and was then crushed to death by the barrage of attacks flying everywhere.

"Kurosawa-kun?"

Ai Haibara noticed Kurosawa's pause and turned to look at him.

His gaze lingered, seemingly casually, on his injured arm.

While simply operating the controller won't aggravate the wound, prolonged use might have some consequences.

Ai Haibara then made the suggestion.

"How about we rest for a while?"

Kurosawa lowered the controller as Ai Haibara had instructed.

He then made an excuse to go to the restroom.

……

Kurosawa took out his phone and glanced at it.

It was Pisco who sent him the message.

They said they'd have a meeting tonight?

Kurosawa rolled his eyes.

It's late at night, whoever wants to go can go.

Just as Kurosawa was about to read the message and not reply...

Perhaps seeing the notification that Kurosawa had read the email, Pisco sent another message.

The gist of it is that the Boss will also be there, and he needs to be there on time.

Did that old man Pisker invite the Boss over too?

However, although the Boss will "appear," it will only be a fake projection, a fake voice, and at most he will say a few words at the beginning.

Tsk, acting like everyone's seen him before, what's with the mysterious act?

Kurosawa cursed under his breath.

But no matter what, the Boss has arrived, so it would be a bit unreasonable for his "loyal dog" not to show up.

Kurosawa sighed and glanced up at the meeting time.

It was 10 p.m., and the location was a rarely used base in Beika Town.

It takes about forty minutes to get there from here.

Kurosawa calculated the time and sent a message to Vodka.

……

The thought of having to attend that inexplicable meeting tonight is daunting.

Kurosawa wasn't in a very good mood.

Both Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara noticed this.

However, considering Kurosawa's past experiences, they could understand his current state.

Seeing this, Dr. Agasa became even more concerned about taking Kurosawa to the clinic the next day.

He cautiously brought it up with Kurosawa.

Although the psychological examination was not mentioned, Dr. Agasa was still somewhat worried that Kurosawa would resist going to the clinic.

Fortunately, Kurosawa only absentmindedly responded with a nod of agreement.

Seeing this, Dr. Agasa breathed a sigh of relief but was also somewhat worried.

I was happily playing games just a moment ago, so why am I feeling so down now?

Professor Agasa looked at Ai Haibara questioningly.

Ai Haibara shook her head, indicating that nothing had happened in between.

In other words, Kurosawa's emotions changed suddenly.

Dr. Agasa doesn't know much about psychology.

But he also knew that such behavior was definitely not normal.

However, Dr. Agasa didn't have a good solution to this.

He sighed, pinning his hopes on the doctor tomorrow.

……

After meal.

Because of Kurosawa's comment, "I'm a little tired."

Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara went to their respective rooms to sleep early with Kurosawa.

Nine p.m.

Kurosawa, dressed in all black, emerged from Agasa's house.

Vodka was already waiting two blocks away.
