[HIATUS] The Scarlet Memories [Detective Conan OC] (English)

Chapter 35

To avoid unnecessary waiting for the bathroom just to do a search, I just leaned against the wall and take out my phone.

I see... Kaito Kid always announces his crimes and their time in advance... It's quite a special way of doing things...

Once my search is over, I end up really wanting to go to the bathroom.

Hugh, the waiting line is even longer than before...

°°°

Once I finally make it out, I hear cheers coming from outside. I check the time on my phone and sigh.

I missed the robbery by a few minutes... Considering the noise, I guess the turtle is no longer in the aquarium...

I walk slowly back to the showroom and... Wow the turtle has indeed been stolen. I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't attend the scene... As I arrive, I see Sera pinch Sonoko's uncle's cheek.

Good. At least it's not Kid in disguise.

I have to get closer so I can hear what she is saying.

- It would be effective to pinch everyone's cheeks to find Kid, but it would not be respectful for the girls...

She looks in my direction as I have just joined Ran and Sonoko, then resumes.

- What would you say about carrying out body searches in groups instead? Since Kid necessarily has the turtle on him, we would find him easily.

Despite the general approval, I am perplex.

Something is bothering me but I don't know what...

- Sera-san! Are you coming for the search with us?

Sera seems surprised by Ran's question.

- You don't mind if we're in the same team?

- Of course not, let's see... Who do we start with?

- What if we go from oldest to youngest? Let's start with me!

Sonoko reacts immediately.

- Wait, do you know our birthdates?

Ran answers him.

- It's normal, Sera-san is a detective after all.

... Girls... I also exist and I'm over twenty years old...

I approach them and we begin the search. I see Conan a little further, observing his surroundings. I understand him... I've had a weird feeling since I've been back in the room...

After a few minutes, Inspector Nakamori calls us to know if we have finished searching our group. Sonoko directly answers positively and Sera stops her.

- Wait, we haven't searched Ran or her father's friend yet...

...Nope, again... I didn't become friends with his father in thirty minutes...

Sonoko responds with a wink.

- No need to! I can know by just looking at them!

- Uh... If you say so...

What's with her all of a sudden...?

Our search being considered complete, I look around the groups, none seem to have found anything suspicious.

I wonder if Kid is still in the room. But on the other hand, there is always this something that bothers me.

What could it be...?

My gaze falls on Conan who, after speaking with Sonoko's uncle, glares in our direction. He has a confident smile.

He's almost scary...
