Yukiko: So Strange, Let Me Look Again

"Is it all for me?"

Ran was a little overwhelmed. "Isn't that a bit inappropriate... After all, that's such a huge amount of money."

"There's nothing inappropriate about it."

Fujino smiled and teased, "Other people can't wait to get their hands on money, yet you're hesitating."

"Well..."

Ran felt a little embarrassed.

Although she usually managed the household finances, being handed two million Yen outright still made her worry that she might go on an uncontrollable shopping spree.

She said awkwardly, "Just like Mom said, the credit for this really all goes to Senior Fujino. I didn't help much at all..."

"You can't put it that way."

Fujino shook his head slightly. "After all, Mouri-niisan took this case. I was only acting as his representative. We were helping each other out to begin with. Talking about money hurts feelings, and besides, I don't solve cases for money."

"..."

Ai Haibara and Conan both gave Fujino complicated looks at the same time, thinking the exact same thing: Do you even believe that yourself?

No matter what anyone else thought, Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo believed him.

At that moment, Fujino had become, in their eyes, a shining example of a young man who valued loyalty and righteousness and treated money like dirt.

In the end, after discussing it, they decided to split the two million Yen. Fujino took the largest share, receiving one million, while Ran was given the remaining nine hundred thousand yen or so.

After settling the case, no one lingered there.

Yukiko Kudo had driven there alone this time, so the group split up. Fujino took the others home, while Yukiko Kudo left with Eri Kisaki.

It was already late. By the time Fujino returned to the rooftop in Beika Town, it was already ten at night.
