Why Are You So Shameless?

Sitting aboard a small boat bound for Moonshadow Island, Ran Mouri studied a map of the island.

"Moonshadow Island is just an ordinary little island. There's nothing to see," Conan said with dead-fish eyes as he flipped through it.

Vermouth glanced at Conan. Though she had not spent much time around him, with Vermouth's powers of observation, she naturally noticed that Conan was different from other children.

Compared to other children, this little boy seemed completely out of place among them. There were mature children too, but Conan was far too mature. His unconscious mannerisms revealed that he was unlike other bratty kids.

"This island really doesn't have any sights," Ran said disappointedly
