Originally, they had planned to invite Conan and Haibara Ai to play hide-and-seek after school.

Whether they were worried about being a bad influence on children or simply thought taking children shopping was too troublesome, the two slung on their backpacks and quietly went off on their own as soon as school ended. Thus, the three Elementary School Students were unfortunately left behind.
"Hide-and-seek with just three people is way too boring."
