"Shadow! I shall reveal your real identity!"
Well now we're talking. Tetsuya blankly stared at the young detective in front of him, eyes filled with no emotions.
"Hakuba-san, are you perhaps retarded?" With this somehow still blunt question, the tealnette left Hakuba gaping in the dust.

Hakuba wasn't the first who succeeded in knowing his identity— and this child, in front of him, was the first.
Hakuba may not be sure, but this child was.
Edogawa Conan. Smiling innocently as he sat across Tetsuya in a booth at the café downtown, he had completely covered the fact that he was like that little baby with a chameleon from an anime Tetsuya couldn't remember the name of— an adult trapped in a child's body.
Knowing each other's secret identities, they sat there for moments, bathing in the comforting silence between them.
"Well then, Conan-kun," Tetsuya began, placing his hand atop the 'child's head. "Shall we?"
Conan beamed."Of course, Tetsu-nii!"
But of course, these were just facades they used to cover the desire to beat each other down.
After this, they will no longer be Tetsuya and Conan. They were Shadow and Shinichi.
(Ironically, Tetsuya was hiding his alias behind a real name, while Conan was hiding his real name behind an alias.)

"Ready?"
"Absolutely."
That was the unbelievable beginning of a paintball shooting battle transpiring between the two.
Tetsuya— Shadow, calmly walked around, letting himself be seen while Shinichi hid himself.
The young detective's glasses glinted, the paintball gun tucked between his two hands. He peeked through the bushes, seeing Shadow facing the other direction. He smiled, shooting at the tealnette.
But he calculated wrong. Shadow easily dodged, then pointed the gun at him— game over.
Shadow: 1
Shinichi: 0

This time, at a contest.
A cake eating contest, to be precise.
Shinichi gulped at the amount of sweets in front of him, the crowd watching them and the other participants.
The tealnette beside him sucked a breath in, "God, I never know why we chose this of all things."
"It's because you were hungry. Curse you."
After the slightly heated glaring between Shadow and Shinichi, the cintest finally began.
Cake after cake, the two pigged out.
"I'll win!!!"
"No, I will!"
A few moments later...
"The winner is... Sakaki Misaki-san!"
In the end, neither of them won. The brown-haired girl who was whining about not eating enough was the one who did.
Shadow and Shinichi both ended up puking.
Shadow: 1
Shinichi: 0

The professional shogi player blinked at the two playing right in front of him.
Oi,oi, he thought, what the hell is this?!
