Narrator pov. At Ekoda Train Station after school~

Kuroba had asked Irene to come pick him up from school today, so she had to immediately go to the train station after her school ended to make it.

She made sure to tell the detective boys during recess, and they understood.

So now, she had just arrived back in Ekoda and was on her way to the high school.

When she arrived, the school bell just rang, so she was able to gain some distance from the exit.

Students started coming out, and Irene stood by the exit, waiting with her new Sherlock book from Edogawa in her arms as she read it while keeping an ear out.

It didn't take long to hear Kuroba and Nakamori's voices, along with Momoi's and Hakuba's.

She closed the book and put it back in her backpack before looking up just in time to see them reach the exit.

She stepped closer and pulled on Kuroba's sleeve, "Kaito-niichan?"

He looked down before acknowledging her with a nod.

Hakuba then spoke up, "Oh? What's with your tone, Midorikawa-san? That's not the same tone you had last time we met. And it isn't suitable for a child."

Irene just stared blankly at him before Kuroba defended, "Shut up, Hakuba. Something happened since last time to make her like that. And you're wrong, she was like this in the first months she moved in."

Hakuba blinked, and Nakamori nodded, "It's true, Hakuba-kun... Irene-chan had... Lost too much. And she lost more recently, so she's back to being like this."

Momoi gave Irene a wave with a sympathetic smile, which Irene responded to by waving back with a nod.

Kuroba kept giving Hakuba glares every time he even glanced Irene's way, as the magician knew what the blonde wanted.

Though looking down at Irene himself, he got an idea.

"You know, Hakuba, if you keep looking at Irene like that, you'd look like a creep. Which you are, but not to children, right?"

Hakuba immediately bristled, "Excuse me?"

"What? Are you saying you didn't try to stalk me multiple times to try and prove your theories of me being KID?" Kuroba smirked at him, "Or is the reason that you're gay for me?"

He secretly looked at Irene, but she didn't even react to that comment.

Hakuba's eyebrow twitched, and he crossed his arms, "As if. Don't flatter yourself, Kuroba."

Kuroba just continued hating on him in every way.

But in the end, even when Hakuba finally had enough and left to walk home alone.

Irene's expression didn't change.

Kuroba felt a bit disappointed, but it was still fun.

So when they reached his house, Kuroba didn't say anything as Irene walked upstairs to her room to get ready for dinner.

Attempt: failed.

AN: Done! Hope you guys liked it!

Yep, Kaito's initial plan is walking home together with Irene, but it changed to hating on Hakuba since he knows Irene hates him too.

It was funny, but it didn't end up working.

But still, at least it was fun for him.

And he isn't giving up, either.

So what did you guys think? Did you like it? Which part was your favorite? Hope to see your feedback soon!

That's all. See you next chapter!

Stay sweet, my fellow anime lovers!~
