Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

After chatting, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Conan discussed the party. Conan said that he and Mao Lilan should be free at any time these days.

But as for Mao Lilan, Conan hopes to give him a day to seriously think about some issues, that is, before tonight, he may be able to tell the other party the notice of this gathering together with his true identity;

Of course, it is not ruled out that he may choose to continue to conceal his identity, and please ask Haihara Ai to not attend the party with him, so as not to arouse Mao Lilan's suspicion.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't have any objections to this, so she nodded and agreed. After hanging up the phone, she then contacted other people who were ready to invite one by one.

In addition to people like Minami Hizuru and Amano Hina who can be contacted directly through mobile phones, there are also people like Renka who can only meet and communicate offline. Fortunately, they can contact each other directly through the underworld - the Paramita space. , eliminating the trouble of rushing.

In the process of contacting each other, she also learned a little bit about each person's current situation.

For example, Minami Hizuru has just finished writing a new book. The new book is called "Ghoul". It is a story based on the Waiba Village they visited before and the ghoul incident that happened there;

Another example is Lianhua. Now she lives happily with Fukami Natsuhiko. In addition, she does her duty every day to save the dead and guide the lost souls to reincarnate in the underworld.

After hearing about the general situation of the party, everyone readily accepted the invitation and showed varying degrees of interest.

For beings like Celty, who are different from ordinary people and need to try their best to hide their differences in society, being able to meet and communicate with other people in similar situations to themselves at a party is undoubtedly an extremely rare opportunity. This is enough for them to look forward to this party.

For ordinary people like Nanfang Rihe, this is a chance to gain knowledge that may not come once in a lifetime, so there is no reason to disagree.

After spending a lot of time communicating and confirming everyone's free time, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally set the time for the party to be the day after tomorrow.

Seeing this, Ma Xiu smiled and said:

"Then let's start preparing!"

"Um!"

It was the first time that so many friends were invited to be guests. Fujimaru Ritsuka was also very excited. She even wanted to bring a chef from Chaldea to support the occasion and make the party venue more grand, but she felt that it was too impractical. The fireworks are getting louder and a little less practical.

"——How about holding a BBQ?"

Little Da Vinci suggested with a smile:

"Since the purpose of this gathering is for everyone to communicate with each other, wouldn't it be too luxurious and overshadow the guest, and even make some people feel cramped?"

"The barbecue that is simple, approachable and requires hands-on experience not only allows everyone to participate, but also promotes communication. Coupled with the beautiful scenery in the realm of the weather god, I think it is enough."

"Um……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought it made sense, so she nodded decisively and said:

"So be it!"

——

"——Conan-kun, where are you?"

At dusk, at No. 21, 2-chome, Yoneka Town, Mao Lilan was at Kudo Shinichi's house, calling Conan's name with some worry.

Not long ago, Conan suddenly told her that Kudo Shinichi was back and wanted her to go to his house to see him. However, when she came to the other party's house, she did not find Kudo Shinichi at all. Instead, she turned around and found Conan also disappeared, so the above scene occurred.

"Xiaolan, I'm here."

"Eh?"

Hearing the sound, Mao Lilan turned around with some confusion and saw that Conan had changed into Kudo Shinichi's clothes at some point, but Kudo Shinichi's clothes were too big for him, causing most of the clothes to be loose. It dragged on the ground, looking a little funny.

Seeing this, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said a little funny:

"Really, it turns out you went to steal your brother Shinichi's clothes. But where is Shinichi and others?"

Then she soon noticed that the Conan in front of her was not wearing glasses, and that familiar look made her sigh inwardly.

Sure enough, no matter how you look at it, Conan looks exactly like Kudo Shinichi when he was a child.

At this time, Conan's expression was a little complicated.

After a day of thinking, he finally decided to confess the truth to Mao Lilan.

Just like what he said to Fujimaru Ritsuka before, his original intention was not to want Mao Lilan to worry about him, and not to want the other party to be in danger, but now that these two conditions are not established, he does not seem to continue The reason for hiding it.

More importantly, if Mao Lilan encounters any unavoidable situation, he does not want the other party to hide everything from him or even exclude him in order not to worry him. What he hopes more is that the two of them can bear it together. .

After understanding this, he finally made up his mind to confess.

Returning to the current reality, Conan took a deep breath, looked at Mao Lilan with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice:

"I'm sorry, Xiaolan, for hiding it from you for so long."

"Actually, I am Kudo Shinichi."

"...Eh?"

Mao Lilan couldn't help but be stunned.

Although she had made such a guess more than once before, but now that Conan said such words, she subconsciously wanted to deny such a fact, so she said helplessly:

"Okay, now is not the time to joke around, and you have to call me Sister Xiaolan. Could it be that that guy Shinichi left suddenly again and wants to take your place?"

"No, I'm telling the truth."

Conan shook his head, but he also expected that Mao Lilan might react like this, so he had prepared tangible evidence to prove his words.

Not long ago, Hui Yuan Ai successfully developed a temporary antidote to APTX4869, which can temporarily restore their bodies to their original state. However, taking too much may lead to drug resistance.

He had just taken the antidote, and it should have taken effect now.

Sure enough, the next moment he finished speaking, his body suddenly began to heat up and his breathing became difficult. He was also accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness and rapid heartbeat.

At the same time, in Mao Lilan's field of vision, she saw that Conan's body began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the originally baggy clothes began to fit into his body, gradually turning into the figure she remembered.

"——"

Conan's body was completely restored to its original state, and Mao Lilan, who had watched all this with his own eyes, had a blank mind and had difficulty understanding what had just happened.

Conan suddenly grew up... and became Shinichi...?

Is this really possible?

Or is she just dreaming now?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pinch her arm flesh, and she cried out in pain.

"babble!"

Seeing her look, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but laugh out loud and said amusedly:

"I told you I am Shinichi, you are not dreaming."

Hearing the other party's laughter, Mao Lilan's face turned red, and then asked suspiciously:

"Are you really Shinichi? But, what on earth is going on...?"

Kudo Shinichi smiled and said:

"Don't worry, this time I will tell you everything that happened during this period, from beginning to end."
