Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World
Chapter 42 Yusaku Kudo's Thoughts, the Parents of the Three Little Ones
Meanwhile, in New York, America, inside a secluded apartment, Yusaku Kudo, wearing glasses, sat quietly at his desk, holding a mystery novel in his hands.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and a figure in black appeared silently by the bedside.
"You still like coming in through the window so much."
Without even looking up, Yusaku Kudo smiled and calmly closed the mystery novel before speaking.
"Given my current status, it's not appropriate for me to use the main entrance."
Kuroba Touichi replied in a calm tone, but a rare smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you so much for what happened the other day. I really wouldn't know what to do if it weren't for you."
Yusaku Kudo slowly turned around, rubbed his temples, and looked somewhat tired.
"If you want to express your gratitude, please keep an eye on Kaito's side for me."
Kuroba Toichi walked lightly to the seat opposite Kudo Yusaku and sat down, looking at him.
"My situation isn't much better than yours right now. If I were to look after that kid, it might actually get him into trouble. I think you could tell him your story instead."
Yusaku Kudo spoke calmly, seemingly unaffected by the Black Organization, though a hint of weariness was faintly visible in his eyes.
"Kaito is still a bit immature, but you're right, it's not suitable for you to get close to him right now."
Kuroba Toichi and Kudo Yusaku stared at each other for a long time before slowly shaking their heads. He knew that although they were both rare Level 5 espers in the world, their situations were not very good.
Superpowered individuals are still human; they need to eat and sleep, and they can get injured and die. Even a Level 5 combat-type superpower can only run away when faced with full-force military firepower.
Now, the brothers are fighting against two powerful dark organizations, and the slightest misstep could lead to total defeat.
"You didn't come here today just to chat with me, did you?"
Yusaku Kudo picked up a cup of coffee and took a small sip.
"Of course, I need you to look something up for me, but I'm not available to do it right now."
As he spoke, the black-clad thief magically produced a rose from his fingers and then slowly placed it in front of Kudo Yusaku.
Please!
After he finished speaking, a layer of white smoke appeared in front of Kuroba Toichi. When the smoke dissipated, Kuroba Toichi had disappeared, and the rose had turned into a piece of paper.
"This guy still loves to show off."
Yusaku Kudo shook his head helplessly and picked up the documents to read them carefully.
"Yusaku, regarding Ai-chan's matter, shouldn't we talk to Mr. Akai about it?"
After Kuroba Toichi left, Yukiko came out of the back bedroom and asked in a somewhat puzzled tone.
"Now is not the time. Akemi Miyano has just been rescued, and there are definitely many people in the Bureau of Superpowers watching them."
Yusaku Kudo shook his head slightly, his gaze remaining fixed on the documents.
What exactly is the relationship between the organization searching for Pandora's Stone and the Black Organization?
After a long while, Yusaku Kudo put down the documents in his hand, a somewhat ambiguous look flashing in his eyes.
……
Meanwhile, on the European continent, in London.
"I'm back!"
A short-haired tomboy in sportswear casually tossed two pizzas onto the table and spoke with dissatisfaction.
"What? Are you still upset that I left you behind? Zhenchun, you're not young anymore, why are you still acting like a child?"
Sitting on the sofa, Mary Akai shook her head slightly, picked up a pizza and took a bite, her tone carrying a hint of sternness and helpless affection.
Not long ago, her eldest son, Shuichi Akai, asked her for help in rescuing someone. Her youngest daughter, Masumi Sera, found out and insisted on going along.
Mary refused, taking into account Sera Masumi's abilities and age. To prevent her daughter from running away, she deliberately revealed a wrong date and found an opportunity to abandon her daughter and run away.
Because of this, Sera Masumi is very angry and has been giving her mother the cold shoulder for several days.
"Isn't this obvious? Why is it that you, Brother Xiu, and Brother Ji all went, but I'm the only one left behind? Aren't we family? Aren't we supposed to be saving family members too? Why am I the only one being excluded!"
Sera Masumi grabbed another pizza, took a bite while waving her little fists, looking all sulky.
"How about this, once you break through to LV4, I'll allow you to go to Tokyo, okay?"
Mary Akai looked at her pouting daughter and spoke with a hint of helplessness.
"Really? I think I'll make a breakthrough in Jeet Kune Do in about a month! That's great! Love you, Mom!"
Sera Masumi's expression changed instantly, and she hugged Mary tightly, rubbing her face against hers.
Your hands are covered in oil!
Mary Akai pushed Sera Masumi away with a hint of disgust, but a happy smile appeared on her lips.
As a former special agent, Mary's superpowers also belong to the "special agent" category. Her family atmosphere has always been very serious. Her eldest and second sons are not the type to act spoiled. Only her youngest daughter makes her feel this ordinary happiness.
……
The events in the Americas and Europe did not affect Tokyo.
After sending the two kids to Teitan Elementary School, Hoshino Hikaru briefly met Ms. Kobayashi and began his daily life, which combined going to school with working.
While at Teitan High School, I simply attended classes and took exams, and afterwards I kept track of everything at the Agasa Detective Agency, occasionally taking on a few investigation cases.
Most of the cases requested through the detective network are ordinary cases, without any murders or Abyss Energy-related issues, but Hoshino Hikaru doesn't refuse them.
Firstly, it can hone one's reasoning and observation skills. With the help of the "Eye of Light," one can capture various details and information, making it easier to solve cases. Secondly, it can also build a reputation for the detective agency and prepare for future actions.
Two weeks later, Inspector Megure, an old acquaintance, called.
"Hey, Hoshino, could you come to the Metropolitan Police Department? Your cousin and Conan are in a bit of trouble."
Inspector Megure carefully chose his tone on the phone, as if he had something difficult to say.
"Inspector Megure, Ai, and Conan, what happened to them?"
Hoshino Hikaru immediately became alert and asked in a hurried tone.
"Don't worry, they're all fine. It's just that these five kids went on an adventure to a supposedly haunted house, and then they found the murderer from a murder case that happened a few years ago..."
Inspector Megure's tone carried a hint of melancholy. It was somewhat understandable that the Metropolitan Police Department used to rely on detectives to solve cases, but now that a few children were helping to solve cases, he felt a little ashamed.
"ha?"
When Hoshino Hikaru heard Inspector Megure's words, he was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses and said that he would go to the Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible.
"You mean, you two only knew those three for a few days, and then you went on an adventure with them, and incidentally solved a long-hidden haunted house murder case?"
Hikaru Hoshino's lips twitched slightly as he glanced back and forth between Conan and Ai before finally looking at the three little ones behind him.
1.
Name: Genta Kojima
[Level: LV1 Glutton (Combat Type)]
[Foodie: Has a huge appetite in daily life, allowing them to absorb more energy. In battle, they unleash the power of devouring by using super energy in their stomach and mouth. As their level increases, they can devour various items.]
【Characteristics: Big eater, loves eel rice, cheerful personality, slightly impulsive】
2.

[Level: LV2 Knowledge Scholar (Technical)]
[Knowledge Scholar: In learning, knowledge can be absorbed through the super-circuit in the brain]
【Characteristics: Calm and composed personality, possesses a wealth of knowledge unmatched by peers, and is a gentleman】
3.
Name: Ayumi Yoshida
[Rank: LV1 Cute Girl (Control Type), LV1 Hostage Attractor (Concealment Type), LV1 Fang Warrior (Combat Type)]
[Cute Girl: She exudes an adorable aura through her super-powered circuits, making people feel affection for her involuntarily.]
[Tooth Warrior: Through a super-energy link inside the teeth, the teeth gain super energy, becoming hard and sharp, which can be used as a means of attack.]
【Characteristics: Lively and cheerful personality, possesses an irresistible charm, kind-hearted and enjoys making friends, physical constitution attracts criminals, easily becomes a hostage】
"Teeth-Tough Warrior, what kind of ability is that?"
Upon seeing the information about the three little ones, especially Ayumi, Hoshino Hikaru was taken aback, and a scene flashed through his mind.
The sight of Ayumi opening her gaping maw and biting down forcefully momentarily sent my thoughts wandering.
"Um, big brother, are you Hoshino Hikaru-nii-nii?"
Ayumi stepped forward first, her eyes slightly evasive, and spoke:
"We brought Ai Haibara and Conan with us to do this, so please don't scold them. Conan even protected me."
"That's right, that's right, it's our fault. If you want to blame someone, blame us. It was I, as the team leader, who ordered us to take this risk."
Genta Kojima immediately stepped forward to block the others.
"Hoshino-nii, I heard Conan and Ai Haibara say that you're a detective, right? We're just learning to become detectives, and we definitely won't take such risks next time."
Mitsuhiko stepped forward and spoke with some concern.
"Do I look like a major villain?"
Hoshino Hikaru couldn't help but mutter something under his breath, then shook his head with a hint of helplessness and said:
"Kids, it's good to be a detective, but you have to know your limits. When necessary, you must ask an adult for help instead of trying to show off your abilities."
Hikaru Hoshino noticed the two figures coming from the front and remembered the case. The "Haunted House Murder Case" in the original work was the first case in the manga where the Junior Detective League appeared. It tells the story of Ayumi discovering a ghostly fire monster in an old house, so the Junior Detective League went to explore the house.
It was eventually discovered that a young man was actually locked in the house. Five years ago, this young man failed the college entrance examination for the third time. When he returned home, his father insulted him. In a fit of anger, he picked up a candlestick and smashed it against his father, but accidentally killed him.
To protect her son, the mother staged the scene as a robbery and murder. However, the son felt guilty for accidentally killing his father and wanted to turn himself in. So the mother locked her son in the basement. The monster that Ayumi saw was her mother with a lit candle.
Finally, Conan and his friends broke in and found her. After being persuaded, she came out and turned herself in. It is said that it was in this case that Conan protected Ayumi and established a good first impression in Ayumi's mind.
At this moment, looking at the three little ones united, especially Ayumi's teary-eyed yet determined gaze standing in front of Conan, Hoshino Hikaru could only roll his eyes at Conan.
"Genta!"
"Misuhiko!"
"Ayumi!"
Just as Hoshino Hikaru was internally complaining, three figures walked in one after another, all with a hint of anger on their faces.
Genta: Mom!
Mitsuhiko: Mom!
Ayumi: Daddy!
"So those three have parents?"
When Hoshino Hikaru met the parents of the three children, he was stunned for a moment.
In their previous lives, as time went by, the three little ones basically lingered between Teitan Elementary School and Dr. Agasa's house, as if Dr. Agasa were their parents, while their own parents were as if they didn't exist.
Upon seeing their parents, the three children instantly wilted like eggplants, each lowering their heads as they were scolded by their parents.
"So they have this side to them too."
Conan watched this scene and muttered something under his breath.
"Of course, children always act like that in front of their parents."
Ai Haibara chuckled softly, finding the scene quite amusing.
"Do you two think you're special? Stand up straight!"
Hoshino Hikaru stood in front of Conan and Ai, looking down at them with an annoyed expression, and said:
"They're being immature, but aren't you being immature too? Taking children to such a dangerous place and not even notifying the adults in time."
"No, at first I thought it was just a child's adventure, but when problems arose it was too late, so I solved it myself."
Conan looked at Hoshino Hikaru's eyes and spoke somewhat guiltily.
"You two remember this: next time something like this happens, you must inform me, the professor, and Xiaolan immediately. Children imitate others; you must set a good example for them by turning to adults when they are in trouble, understand?"
Hikaru Hoshino crouched down and scanned Conan and Ai's faces.
"You're right. We were inconsiderate this time. They are still just kids. It might not be good if they learn from us and try to solve all their problems on their own."
Ai Haibara raised an eyebrow, realizing something was amiss, and nodded.
"I understand, I'll definitely be more careful next time."
Conan blushed slightly after being reprimanded and could only nod and speak in a low voice.
"That's right, isn't it? We need to learn to adapt to being a child."
Hoshino Hikaru's expression softened, and he reached out to pat Ai and Conan on the head, speaking gently.
Ai Haibara glared at him and slapped his hand away, while Conan was already used to it and let Hikaru Hoshino pat his head.
