Conan only froze for a moment before rubbing his forehead and answering helplessly.
If she had said that at the start of the conversation, Conan might have been scared out of his wits. But after the call Kuraso had blurted out while recovering her memories, along with the groundwork laid by the analysis of Rum's situation, the fact was much easier to accept.
