Brothers Adventures

The Moonlight Rivalry Part 2: Challenge

Detective boys and Ran just look at Conan in awe after hearing half of the story while the boy just drink his hot chocolate

"Then, you use the name Edogawa for the first time is in front of Kaito Kid?" asked Ayumi
"Well... you could say that..." said Conan
"But still why go so far to change your name like that? I mean using your real name as Kudou Conan should bring more attraction to Kaito Kid" said Mitsuhiko
"Yeah but the first thing that comes to his mind when he hears my name is not me but this baka mystery geek instead"
"Oi... stop with that remark" said Shinichi unhappy
"Well we can conclude that Edogawa-kun here want to make that Magician of the Moonlight as his rival all by himself without using his family name. I say why not right? Though it seems that magician already knows the truth" said Haibara as she drinks her hot chocolate
"Eh seriously?" asked Genta surprised
"Aahh... He found out about our real relationship through Megure-keibu... That phantom thief disguise as me to get some kind of information about some criminal that was using his name" said Shinichi
"I see, since Megure-keibu knows the truth, he must have asked Conan as your little brother" said Ran realize
"Yeah... that summarize it" said Conan as he rests his back

The three kids then understand the whole conversation. Haibara just smirk as Conan just drink his hot chocolate

"Then then!" shout Ayumi as she goes closer on the table
"What happen next?" asked Genta
"Yeah, you should fight him again after that right" said Mitsuhiko
"Alright alright... I will tell" said Conan as he sigh

Shinichi can see the give up look on his little brother when he tells his story fighting Kaito Kid but actually he knows very well how his little brother fighting that thief and how happy he is

After all, he is the witness of his little brother first change as a Kid Killer and also a detective but Conan and everyone doesn't know... Ever since those events, Shinichi began to change as well

Flashback

Conan is at Professor Agasa's house looking at Kaito Kid crime files that he ask Professor Agasa to look into. He has been going there for few days in a row after meeting that phantom thief. Shinichi look through the big window on his house and he can see Conan is reading the files on the sofa while eating some cookies

"Shin-chan!" shout Yukiko as she comes to the high schooler
"Ah mom..." said Shinichi
"What's wrong? You have been staring at the window for a while now"
"No... it's just, Conan has changed a lot ever since that day"
"Now that you mention it, he indeed become more cheerful than before. Yusaku also didn't tell me anything that those two are talking after we comfort you two that night"
"Hmmm..."

Yukiko then see his youngest son who's talking with Professor Agasa happily as he gives Conan a pair of glasses and wear it immediately

"Glasses?" asked Yukiko surprised
"Oh I forgot to tell you, ever since that day, Conan sometimes wears glasses... I presume it was dad's glasses. He then become addicted wearing it" said Shinichi
"But why I just notice now?"
"You have been away meeting your old friends for few days mom. Conan wear his glasses only at noon"
"I see... I think I'm going to ask Yusaku for details on this"
"Eh? Why not just ask Conan?"
"Do you think he will answer? Knowing the fact he has half of your so high pride and Yusaku's awareness. I'm not taking any chances hehe"

Yukiko act cutely as she walks away which Shinichi just show a give up look on her

Few moments later

At Professor Agasa's house

"I see... so Yusaku give you permission to fight Kaito Kid" said Professor Agasa as he put a hot chocolate to the table
"Yeah... I'm quite surprised myself that dad was the one who fight the first Kaito Kid" said Conan as he plays with his glasses
"Well that's great right, it seems he's letting you be his successor of being the Kid's rival"
"As much as I want that but I can't"
"Eh why?"
"I only come here for short vacation. I should be heading back to LA after that party"
"Oh yeah... From the news I watch, Kaito Kid now mostly active in Japan. Then, why not move here? You can always live with Shinichi"
"Hahaha like mom and dad would approve that leaving their 7 years old son alone far away from them"
"But inside you are a high schooler"
