In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Kaito Kuroba hesitated for a moment.

"You still haven't told me what kind of person I need to disguise myself as. I need more time to make the human skin mask..."

"Don't worry about that, I can handle the disguise!" Xia Ye waved her hand, indicating that she could manage. "Actually, I just need your voice changing and acting skills!"

"Alright then, I'll go with you!"

Kaito Kuroba had nothing left to prepare.

They boarded the Alfa Romeo with Xia Ye and his group and sped away.

Above the Kuroba residence in the night sky.

A layer of darkness gradually faded away.

The purple-haired witch riding a broom looked down at the sports car that was about to leave Ekoda Town, and gently flipped through the logbook in her hand.

"It's not the right time to meet him yet. I wonder when he'll be able to gain his identity on the mystical side. I'm really looking forward to it!"

......

On an Alfa Romeo sports car.

Xia Ye turned to look at the night sky above the Kuroba residence.

That must be Koizumi Akako!

The only thing that could fly so high and spy on him so silently, without even the sound of its wings, was Koizumi Akako. Xia Ye couldn't think of anything else.

However, it's better that she doesn't show herself. Xia Ye doesn't want to deal with Koizumi Akako for the time being. After all, magic is a mysterious thing that is unreasonable. Things like charm and curses are very troublesome if you get caught in them!

I'll wait until I have enough means to deal with her before I try to contact her again.

.........

Beikacho 2-chome 23.

The villa gate of Xia Ye opened automatically, and Yukiko drove into the front yard. The yard lights gradually turned on until she drove the car into the garage.

When everyone arrived at the villa's living room, the lights had already been automatically adjusted to a suitable brightness, and the air conditioning was already on.

"That's so high-tech!"

Yukiko was visiting Natsume's villa for the first time and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"I've been to the smart estate that America's richest man claims to have built for hundreds of millions of dollars, but it doesn't feel as smart as yours!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

A gentle, lifelike female voice came from the villa's ceiling.

"Ms. Yukiko, I'm so happy I'd like to ask the master for permission for you~"

"She! She! She!"

Yukiko gaped in surprise and asked, "Who is she?"

"The artificial intelligence of this villa, Tia~" Xia Ye finished introducing it to her, then looked up and said:

"Tia, grant Yukiko access as a distinguished guest, and Shiho access as a secondary master. As for this Kuroba-kun, give him guest access as well. Hopefully, he won't try to steal anything from us."

"Tia understands!"

The AI, Tia, spoke in a slightly mechanical voice this time:

"Permissions confirmed!"

“Mr. Natsume~” Kaito Kuroba gave a helpless bitter smile, “I only steal jewels, and I return anything that I didn’t want!”

"Let's not talk about that now!" Xia Ye waved her hand, indicating that they should get down to business first: "Hei Yu, come here, I'll help you with your disguise~"

"You're going to disguise me?"

Kaito Kuroba chuckled inwardly. "A master of disguise like me—"

One minute later.

Xia Ye handed him the mirror.

Looking at the girl with perfectly flawless brown wavy hair in the mirror, Kaito Kuroba had only one thought in his mind: Am I a master of disguise? Do you even deserve to be called one?

"how did you do that?"

Kaito Kuroba didn't see Natsume use any materials, yet he created such a flawless disguise!

"Just think of it as magic~"

"Oh, I understand now!"

A look of realization flashed in Kaito Kuroba's eyes. He could just treat this guy named Natsume as someone like Akako!

"The disguise is complete, but what about the voice?" Kaito Kuroba demonstrated his professionalism. "Do you have any video references?"

"I do have the video, but—"

Xia Ye coughed lightly, her clear, melodious yet slightly cool female voice emanating from her, "This way your imitation will be clearer and more natural~"

Sitting on the sofa, Shiho blushed. "Is that my voice?"

It felt a little awkward coming from my boyfriend, but it actually sounded pretty good!

"you!"

Kaito Kuroba's poker face failed him again, and his eyes showed suspicion:

"Your disguise skills are far superior to mine, and your voice-changing skills are about the same as mine, so why did you come to me? Why don't you just do it yourself?"

"nonsense!"

Xia Ye was somewhat speechless.

"If I knew how to create clones, I wouldn't need to look for you! Here's a video, quickly learn the expressions and movements~"

"it is good!"

Kaito Kuroba took Natsume's phone, stared blankly at the person on the screen for a moment, then looked at Shiho, who was sitting elegantly on the sofa, "The girl in this picture..."

"That's me~"

Xia Ye didn't hide anything and told him the truth directly.

"I understand!"

Having just witnessed Spider-Man and amazing disguise techniques, and with a magician as a friend, Kaito Kuroba's ability to adapt is already extremely strong.

When he saw a girl who had turned into a little girl, he was stunned for a few seconds before returning to normal.

As for why others have shrunk, it has nothing to do with him, and he won't ask!

Chapter Fifty: New Log Rewards

Kaito Kuroba is an expert in disguise.

His forte lies in imitating the behavior and mannerisms of the person he is dressing up as.

Soon, he was able to imitate Shiho's expressions and postures perfectly, and even Shiho herself, who was giving him guidance, expressed her approval.

"Shiho——"

Natsume held Shiho's hand and whispered:

"It's getting late. Kaito Kuroba and I need to get back to our apartment first. You can stay here tonight."

“Xia Ye…”

Shiho's icy blue eyes were filled with unease. She held tightly to Natsume's hand, refusing to let go. Without Natsume by her side, she felt utterly insecure...

"Don't worry, your sister will be here to keep you company tomorrow morning~"

Natsume smiled and pinched her cheek, then looked at Yukiko beside her—

"Okay! I'll stay here with her tonight."

Yukiko smiled and sat down next to Shiho. She had already asked Natsume to take care of Shiho when she called her.

Fortunately, she had already sent Shinichi to Ran's house and entrusted him to Kogoro Mouri with a high upfront cost of ten million yen per year for his upbringing. Now she has plenty of time to spend with Shiho, the little girl who has shrunk just like Shinichi.

"Be careful."

Shiho understood that Natsume had to rush back, and she reluctantly let go of Natsume's hand.

"I'll be here waiting for you to come back!"

I'll be back as soon as possible!

Xia Ye reached out and touched her soft, brown hair, then turned to Kuroba Kaito and said:

"let's go!"

Watching Xia Ye's departing figure, Shiho felt a pang of sadness and almost burst into tears. Even though she knew that Xia Ye's strength meant she wouldn't be in any danger, she still couldn't help but worry.

"Ms. Shiho, can we talk?"

Yukiko looked at the girl beside her, the first one Natsume had mentioned in her diary, and extended her hand with a smile, saying, "I've heard so much about you!"

Shiho looked at the incredibly sexy superstar in front of her, dressed in a tight black leather outfit, and, recalling Natsume's comments about her in her diary, reached out and took her hand, her expression cool as she said:

"Me too, Ms. Yukiko!"

.........

The apartment building opposite the research institute.

Xia Ye and Kuroba Kaito had already sneaked in silently.

This was no challenge for the two who were experts in disguise.

Kaito Kuroba curiously surveyed Natsume's apartment, then hid behind the curtains to observe the research institute across the street. After a few glances, he clicked his tongue and exclaimed:

"Just as you said, the security is tight. There are not only visible guards, but also many hidden sentries. By the way, what exactly is this research institute for that makes them so cautious?"

You wouldn't want to know~

Xia Ye took a can of beverage from the refrigerator and threw it over.

"You've already messed with a mysterious organization, so you'd better not mess with another one, or it'll be very troublesome!"

"How did you know... Never mind!"

Kaito Kuroba was too lazy to ask Natsume why he knew so much; he seemed to know everything about himself.

"You're right, I was just helping you out, there's really no need to know so much."

“I’ve already told you the basics. You’ll stay here tonight.” Natsume opened the apartment door and walked towards Shiho’s apartment across the street. “Just come with me to the research institute tomorrow morning!”

"I see!"

.........

Lying on Shiho's bed.

Natsume's nose seemed to be surrounded by Shiho's pleasant scent.

Today's events happened so suddenly, and this was all he could do.

He reached out and brought out the logbook.

[Shiho has shrunk too, so the operation to rescue Shiho and Akemi from the organization needs to be brought forward.]

Many people who saw the log update were momentarily stunned.

Is it possible to team up when you shrink?

Shinichi Kudo just shrunk over there, and now Shiho Miyano has shrunk too?

This is because they have the logbook and are used to Xia Ye's amazing abilities as a time traveler. Otherwise, the fact that a high school student could suddenly turn into an elementary school student would have been enough to leave them speechless.

Although it was a bit rushed, my arrangements were reasonable. Once Shiho and Akemi disappear tomorrow, the organization shouldn't blame me.

However, my alibi is a minor flaw.

[When Shiho 'escapes' tomorrow, I'll go to the organization's base. However, I rarely go there, and if I suddenly go there on the day Shiho and Akemi disappear, people will definitely become suspicious.]

It doesn't matter. At most, the organization will just have some suspicions; they won't actually do anything to me.
