If You Don't Repay Your Favor, I'm Going to Your House, Got It?

Conan looked up at Fujino in surprise, clearly bewildered.

He never expected that Fujino would team up with Kaito Kid.

Good heavens, I've been kept completely in the dark...

Hakuba Saguru couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth at Fujino's answer.

I didn't expect this guy to have actually planned it beforehand.

Damn it, why didn't I discuss it with him first? He's that Kaito Kid's mortal enemy too...

It has a slightly sour taste.

Everyone present was somewhat bewildered.

How did you, a detective, end up teaming up with a phantom thief?

The key question is how they got in touch?

There's definitely a little secret behind this.

"Fujino- Senior, since this is Kaito Kid..."

Ran noticed the key point, her eyes scanning the white Hang Glider below the helicopter, and she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Where is my dad now?"

"Uncle Mori is safe."

Fujino turned around and replied, "He's currently tied up in the warehouse of the gas station we passed on our way here."

"Ah?"

Ran was slightly taken aback.

Was your own father impersonated at the gas station?

And all along the way, I called him "Dad"...

Ran's face turned bright red, and her fists clenched slightly.

"Ahem, remember to go and rescue Mouri-niisan."

Seeing Ran's appearance, Fujino panicked a bit. He believed that if they weren't in the helicopter, Ran would probably smash something to vent her anger.

He turned around and jumped out of the helicopter, leaving only a shout echoing in the cabin, "I'm going first too!"

"Fujino- Senior?!"

"Fujino?!"

Ran was also startled by the sudden plane jump.

Conan quickly went forward to check.

Then, just like with Kaito Kid, a Hang Glider slowly rose into the air below the helicopter with a flapping sound.

"Why do all these guys have Hang Glider?"

Conan squinted at Fujino's Hang Glider, his eyes revealing a dead fish expression.

He thought Fujino was afraid of being beaten up by Ran, so he chose to commit suicide as an apology.

"Given by Kaito Kid?"

Hakuba Saguru watched the hang Hang Glider disappear into the sunset and exclaimed in surprise.

They even added Hang Glider?

Why does it feel more and more sour?

"Little detective! Let's work together again sometime!"

Tsukida Ikumi's lips curled slightly as she called out towards the outside of the cabin.

"..."

Fujino glanced back, shuddered, and then flew even faster.

"Huh?"

When Kuroba Kaito turned around, he saw Fujino following behind in a hang Hang Glider that looked exactly like his... no, it seemed to be a slightly modified version.

"This guy."

Kuroba Kaito was both amused and exasperated.

Unexpectedly, Fujino also had Hang Glider exactly the same as his, and it even seemed to be made by the same person.

Fujino followed in his Hang Glider: "What, you want to run away after showing off?"

"What, Great Detective?"

Kuroba Kaito's eyelids twitched violently. "Are you still trying to kidnap me?"

"Of course not."

Fujino shook his head and said calmly, "I remember you still owe me quite a few favors, don't you?"

"Hmm..."

Kuroba Kaito's expression stiffened upon hearing this. The mention of human relationships reminded him of the many times this kid had created unfortunate entanglements for him.

"Consider this a favor."

"Hey! What kind of favor is this?!"

Kuroba Kaito was speechless. All he did was help him disguise his identity.

Why are you bringing up favors again? What a shrewd businessman!

But then he suddenly thought of something and looked at Fujino seriously, "You went to so much trouble to catch up with me, you don't mean you want me to repay a favor, do you?"

"You are very smart."

Fujino smiled, finding it easy to talk to intelligent people, and said, "I do need your help with something in a while. Well, it's about confronting an organization, sort of. Anyway, when you get back, please help me customize a hang Hang Glider and sneak into the Twin Towers that the Tokiwa Group is about to open."

"???"

Kuroba Kaito stared at the face in front of him, who seemed to be having a casual chat, and was a little confused.

Is this how you ask for a favor?

Why are you making so many demands on me right from the start?

However, upon further reflection, he seriously considered it.

The organization, Tokiwa Group, also commissioned a custom-made Hang Glider.

This guy seems to have a story that's not widely known, and it looks like he's planning something big...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask Fujino, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"You don't need to ask for details."

Fujino didn't want to say much, "Anyway, just come over when the time comes. By the way, the Hang Glider can be sent to our house by express delivery. You should know the address. Oh, and remember to include shipping."

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He's always the one making the demands, but today he was the one being pressured...

Coming to his senses, he shook his head. "I won't help you unless you tell me what you want to do."

"..."

Fujino narrowed his eyes, his expression turning serious. "If you don't repay the favor, I'll come to your house, understand?"

"...Understand!"

Kuroba Kaito swallowed hard; clearly, he was afraid of Fujino.

He really didn't dare to mess with Fujino.

If you really piss off a crazy detective, he might actually go and wait for him at his doorstep.

"In that case, we'll see you in a while."

Fujino smiled and flew away in his Hang Glider.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned around and continued, "I'll call you when the time comes."

"...Dry!"

Kuroba Kaito has begun to regret his actions.

Why did I ever give my phone number to a guy like that?!

Fujino rode away on the wind, paying no attention to Kuroba Kaito's petty emotions.

His purpose in asking Kuroba Kaito for a favor was not for anything else, but precisely for the opening ceremony of the Tokiwa Group building in a while.

If he remembers correctly, the Alcohol Company will definitely take action, and Gin and his loyal henchman Vodka will also be involved.

Having the so-called ability to "predict the future," he naturally wanted to make the most of it, setting up a trap in advance to trick those two guys.

However, there are still many things to be done in the overall plan, and Kuroba Kaito is just one part of it...

Having this extra person makes things much smoother.

Of course, losing one of them wouldn't be a significant loss.

At most, it's just icing on the cake.

"Before that, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with..."

Fujino glanced back at the Twilight Manor, a strange smile appearing on his face.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Fujino didn't sit idle; he created a fake identity, took leave, and went straight to acquire the Twilight Manor.

After all, this kind of thing can be quite complicated, and if it's not done sooner rather than later, things might get complicated.

"Mr. Ike Feichi, although our bank fully supports your willingness to take over the Twilight Manor, given the current situation, Mr. Ōgami's asset audit has not yet been completed, and it seems that we will not be able to use the assets to offset the debt for the time being..."

A slender woman with a charming appearance sat in the office, gazing at the young man with black hair and purple eyes. Her eyes darted away, and her tone was full of apology.

The woman was the manager of the Suzuki Bank in charge of the Oogami Shuku Zen branch...

That's right, Suzuki Bank is the bank owned by the Suzuki family.

"Temporarily... does that mean the acquisition can proceed after some time?"

Fujino's tone was flat, but there was a hint of coldness in his voice.

Ike Feichi —this is the identity he created using Virtual Identity Card.

After all, he is still a minor and a Great Detective. If outsiders find out about this, they will inevitably have more to say.

But if it's a wealthy person who has never shown their face in public, things are much easier.

I can only apologize to Senior Chi, but I'll borrow your pseudonym for now!
