Narrator pov. Continuing back in the Kuroba house~

After lunch, Irene hugged Nakamori and Ginzo's legs farewell like usual, thanking them for the food before leaving with Kuroba as Edogawa bowed and thanked them for the food before following.

So now they were in the living room, Kuroba was the first to get bored and he said, "I'll go practice some magic tricks and try to come up with new ones. Ja na." before he stood up and left.

Irene easily translated that, "Going to the lair to take care of the doves and maybe really come up with new tricks." 

Irene replied, "Okay, have fun." and Edogawa waved, "Ja ne, Kaito-niichan."

And then the magician was out of the living room with a mock salute.

Irene sighed before turning on the TV.

Except it was showing the news about the case, which made her immediately turn it back off. Knowing that Edogawa didn't need to see that.

She let the remote down and leaned back on the couch. 

Edogawa asked, "Ne, Midorikawa-san? Don't you have anything else we can do to pass the time? It doesn't have to be in the house, right?" 

Irene blinked, 'Oh right. Ekoda is safe since Kazato doesn't know where we're staying and his schedule would probably stop him from trying to sneak around here...'

With that, she thought about it before saying, "We can go to the Ekoda library. It's not that far."

Edogawa nodded, "Okay."

So they both got off the couch and went upstairs to change before Irene left a note for Kuroba and they left the house with Irene having the spare key just in case, going to the direction of the library as Irene led the way.

Once they got there, they entered and each started looking for a book to read after agreeing about which table they were meeting at.

Irene saw a book about art and, for once, she was drawn to it and ended up taking it, now reading it on the table.

Edogawa took a while but he came back with a book in hand, Irene looked at the genre.

"Mystery?" she asked, surprised.

He blushed in embarrassment and looked down, nodding, "I know it's weird for our age to be into this but... It just interests me and-"

Irene shook her head, "No it's fine." she smiled slightly as she looked back down at her book, "It's not weird. I like mystery too."

She added, "So you don't have to explain it."

He blinked, blushing a little, looking relieved as he sat down on the chair across from her and started to read the book as Irene read hers.

She decided to mention something, "You know, you actually liked mystery before your memory loss too. Because of your parents."

He looked up in surprise and curiosity, "My family likes mystery?"

Irene nodded as she glanced at him, "It's how you got your name. Your parents named you after the mystery author Arthur Conan Doyle."

He nodded, "Ah, I see. Thank you for telling me." he smiled.

Her heart beat faster as she looked back at her book and replied, "It's nothing." blushing really slightly.

He looked back at the book he was reading again.

And so they read in silence for a while, until they both yawned, feeling tired, and finished their books.

Irene looked up at the clock, "We should go back now, it'll be time for dinner soon." closing her book and getting off to put it back.

Edogawa followed her lead, "Sure." he put his book back in the mystery section before they both started to walk out.

There was a little pause as their hands touched with them both reaching the door handle at the same time, making them immediately pull their hands away nervously with their hearts beating faster before they did completely walk out, nervously looking away from each other, blushing without realizing it.

AN: Done! Hope you guys liked it!

Well, looks like Corene got to spend time together alone in the library, isn't that cute?

And Conan still subconsciously likes mystery, though he doesn't recognize or remember why. That's good at least.

Oooo, they both blushed at each other there. Though neither realized why or even noticed. Oh well.

And they touched hands. >w<

So what did you guys think? Did you like it? Looking forward to the next part? Hope to see your feedback soon!

That's all. See you next chapter!

Stay sweet my fellow anime lovers!~
