Hello! I hope you are having a great year! I just wanted to ask, will you be hosting the event again this year?

Hi! I probably won't have the time to host this event again unfortunately. I had a lot of fun last year and would definitely be up for it again, but I have so many other things going on that I wouldn't be able to focus on this event (especially since I have been moderating this mainly on my own).

If anyone else wants to plan something like this though, I'd be more than willing to give some advice!

[dcmk-exchange]

Hi! I really had fun with this event, I hope we do it again next year! But I got thinking, has the fandom done a 30th anniversary celebration? Could that be done? Have the deadline be May 4th, Shinichi's birthday?

Thank you! I also had a lot of fun with this! I hope we can do this again next year (although I'm most likely going to be busy at that time of year, but then again who knows!)

To my knowledge, I don't think the fandom has done a 30th anniversary event?

I don't think I'd have the time to do an exchange, but I was thinking maybe we could do something a little more laid-back, like an aggie board for digital artists, and a google doc/submission page for traditional artists and writers, (possibly even a submission/voting contest for people who can't/don't have time to create to submit headcanons, fav moments, episode recommendations, or AUs instead?) And eventually, we could compile it all together by the deadline?

(If anyone else has experience with anything similar, feel free to let me know. I've never really participated in something like this before so any ideas would really help.)

The deadline could be still be the 4th of May (or hell, the end of the year). As long as everyone has fun. (If the deadline is may 4th, though, we could end the event with a birthday celebration for Shinichi!)

This is all just hypothetical, of course. I don't know if anyone would be interested yet, or how I'd even be able to plan anything other than the aggie board... It's a great idea though, (and it'd be a shame to just pass up the opportunity to celebrate the 30th anniversary...) so if I do come up with something, I'll probably post it here, and if anyone else is willing to work on something like this (or has any ideas or tips) feel free to send an ask or message me!

Hey @itssagaruu! I'm your (new) dcmk secret-santa! Sorry for being so late!

Like I mentioned earlier, it was my first time drawing Rei and Akai (other than quick sketches).

I think their dynamic is ironically funny (esp with akai being subaru). I feel like they'd actually get along great, if it wasn't for that... incident. At least we have Conan to be their peacemaker for now.

The fact that the three of them all have multiple identities too. (depending if we're including non-canon or minor identities for Shinichi and/or Akai)

(P.S. The sketch is titled: (Cafe Poirot VS Home Cooking showdown: Amuro-niisan's sandwiches vs Subaru-san's curry!) (Amuro brought juice, so he get an extra point, but Subaru provided the glass so technically they're tied...)

Hello there! This is my gift for @hexfloog for the @dcmk-exchange ! I've done a ficlet, and two doodles, I hope you enjoy!

Listen, just because Heiji spent a lot of time around Ku- Conan-kun, it didn’t mean he was good with kids. In fact, most children baffled him. Conan-kun was just… a very special case. Hanging out with him did not qualify Heiji to look after kids, no way no how.

Yet, here he was. Alone with Kudo’s little friends.

He sighed, fidgeting with the brim of his hat. This was alright, he only had to watch them for a half an hour or so, what could go wrong in that time? He winced. He knew better than to ask that question.

“Heiji-oniichan!” Ayumi-chan tugged at his jacket. He sighed, looking down into her big blue eyes.

“Yeah?”

“Where’s Conan-kun?” She blinked at him.

“Uhhh…” Kudo was, in fact, somewhere in the bowels of Tokyo chasing down some bombers. Honestly, Heiji hadn’t been given details. Kudo had called him, and had told him very sternly not to let the kids out of his sight. Mere moments later, Ran-chan had ordered him to do the very same thing as she ran off to go track down her wayward charge. He was really regretting not bringing Kazuha with him for once. “I’m not entirely sure,” He shrugged. Better to just be vague.

“Really?” Genta-kun raised an eyebrow incredulously. “I bet you do know, and you’re just trying to keep us from following him,” He huffed. Well, at least half of that was true.

“Conan-kun is always trying to hog all the glory!” Mitsuhiko-kun whined. “Don’t you feel left out too?”

Heiji’s eyebrow twitched. He couldn’t lie, he did hate feeling left behind by Kudo, but that was clearly not what this was. He just wanted his friends to be safe, and currently Heiji was the only one available to do that. This was still important.

…Even if he would really rather be going after a bomber.

“C’mon Heiji-oniichan! Help us go after Conan-kun?” Ayumi-chan blinked up at him with what probably wasn’t even her best puppydog eyes. He sighed, dragging a hand over his face.

“No.”

“Awww…” All three of them wilted.

“But… maybe we could do something to help from afar?” He suggested, watching the light return to their eyes.

“Oh oh oh! Like information work? We can do that!” Mitsuhiko-kun said, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

“Yeah, something like that,” Heiji said, rubbing the back of his head. Agasa-Hakase and the little lady were at some conference somewhere, if he remembered correctly, but surely they wouldn’t mind if Heiji used their computers, right? To keep the kids out of trouble? “Let’s head over to Hakase’s house, and see what we can do, yeah?”

“YEAH!” They cheered, all making a dash for the door. He sighed, getting to his feet and dusting off his jacket. This wasn’t that hard, he could absolutely watch them for an afternoon with no incident.

Right?

hiya @akai-anna, I'm your gift-giver for the @dcmk-exchange !! Thank you soooo much for being patient with me, for the past couple weeks!

When I went through your Vermouth posts and read through them, you inspired me to remember how much I love her character she is so cool!! We'll get more of her backstory one day... one day... !! You actually inspired me to go back and watch her episodes for this, and 10/10 they still hold up :D

(that top Vermouth is actually holding a gun down and that's why her arms are like that, but when I turned on the top layer, I realized the big Vermouth covered the entire gun! Whoops!)

The drawing's not as polished as I would have liked it to be, but I hope that you like it! It's been an absolute blast talking to you these past couple of weeks :D I loved hearing your thoughts about Detco and day to day life (and the doggos. of course the doggos!) I'll reply to your answer to my ask off anon tomorrow cause it's way too late here, (hehe), but I did see you had a busy day today! Good job on that, and hope you can have a good sleep ^_^!

[dcmk-exchange]

shiranpuri (playing innocent)

hellooo @stockered! I was your secret santa for the @dcmk-exchange!

I decided to take inspiration from that one shot of Haibara in Strategy above the Depths, although I imagine this scene happening in one of the MANY other times the gang goes sailing

So sorry for the delay @knitsweatervests I’m your secret santa for the @dcmk-exchange !! Hope you enjoy these Cat Thoughts for several of the dcmk characters! I really liked researching different cat breeds for them, it was super fun

[dcmk-exchange]

The event is officially over!

Thank you, everyone, for participating! I had so much fun moderating this event!

I chose to go through with this event for two reasons:

I participated in the dcmk secret-santa event a few times, and found it fun. I was a bit disappointed when I heard that there wouldn't be one this (last?) year. I briefly thought about moderating a similar event, but had no idea how to do so, and no idea if I'd even have the time.

A friend of mine messaged me about this, a few months later, and basically gave me the confidence to plan this all out!

I'd like to thank you all again for participating and for your splendid cooperation!

I have no idea how busy I might be next year or if I'd still be able to host this event again. I hope to do so in the future, though! Maybe next time, it'll actually be in December!

(For those of you who still haven't finished making the gift(s): Please message me (if you haven't already) about this, and I will give you an extension.)

[dcmk-exchange]

Hi @runecel! I was your secret @dcmk-exchange 'santa'. It was nice to get to know you through asks and such! You mentioned a crossover between Danganronpa and Detective Conan would be cool so I tried to make a character introduction card for the characters you listed(I also added Sonoko just because I came up with an ultimate for her). Sorry it's a tad late, the coloring took longer than I expected. I was originally planning to do more art like of a picture of them in the courtroom but didn't have much time to draw the other stuff I planned since I got sick. Either way I hope you like it! 😊😊😊

[dcmk-exchange]

I am late once again!!!

Hellow @ingeniia !!! here it is your gift @dcmk-exchange !

I made comic and that took more than expected! I was a little inspired and I know a promp was either Kai to protect the Shonen Tanteis but in my brain was just that ova with Kaito and the Kids and couldn't stop thinking about the Kids forcing him to become part of they're club with Conan and Ai... hahaha

[dcmk-exchange]

Hello @coffeeviolinist! Tis me, your secret santa for @dcmk-exchange :)

Hope you enjoy a sketch of Akai and Furuya watching their kid solve another case. Peacefully, for once XD

[dcmk-exchange]

Dear @jigen-papa

I Runecel/Celerine/ @lossinicognito (I know save the applause, I have 3 identities and a secret 4th if I should ever reveal that one haha!) am your giftee for the @dcmk-exchange ! Now I know what you are thinking.

Apologies for my random disappearance, I wasn’t sure how to reply to you in rythmatic format but I genuinely adored how you played along and I loved your poem it was so good!?

ALSO WHERE THE FUDGE IS MA BOI HEIJI!?!?

And to that I say!

This was supposed to originally be a multi chapter fic however! I didn't want to go beyond the deadline and may never know when the second chapter is completed so I at least wanted to make something for you before I go into the deep end haha.

Here is the ao3 version of the fanfic: https://archive.org/works/5321279

And I hope ya have an amazing day now without further a due!

Sonoko’s Confrontation With Love

The first time a conversation about phones and Shinichi was brought up resulting in the incarceration of one idiotic teenage detective occurred on a bright, and sunny day of which Sonoko was internally screaming in her thoughts. To say that Shinichi’s umpteeth attempt to disappear in the night like a tuxedo mask would ever be what caused Sonoko’s life to become so stressful would be the understatement of the century. That incident was the cherry on top of an amazing ice cream at best and a footnote on the most awful (but irresistible) trial exam book at worst, no. What made Sonoko’s life so stressful, in her opinion, would just be Shinichi’s entire existence.

"Sonoko, stop being so dramatic,” is probably what her best friend would say. Well, Ran, the most beautiful being to ever god damn exist on this planet. Have you ever stopped to consider that this is KUDO SHINICHI THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT?

“I know you don’t mean it.” Yes, Ran, she 100% means it, and it’s going to stay that way if Ran doesn’t shut up about the next murder case Shinichi finds himself in because the last murder case already was in Tropical Land and he solved it within an hour.

“It was 3 hours, Sonoko.” 3 HOUR HER BUT! At the end of the day, she knows he can finish quicker because THIS IS KUDO SHINICHI THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!

Hhe could easily solve that case if he wanted to, and he has a very amazing reason to do so as well! What gives him the right to leave such a beautiful lady like Ran towards her lonesomeness anyway? Anyone with eyes could snatch that beautiful angel away, taking her to high-budget cinema movie date and make out under the moonlight as Ran talks about how she successfully whooped another person in the ass. Heck, Sonoko could easily do it as well if she wanted two!

"Sonoko.” She bets it would be Sxhinichi’s as well! Imagine him coming back; ah, he would probably do one of those overly basic apologies that you would see in those romantic comedies that’s supposed to make the situation lighten up.

What will lighten up is his vision when Sonoko decided to beat the ever-loving daylight out of him.

“Sonoko” Then again, it’s much better if Ran was the one to do it with Sonoko at her side, punch him right in the gut as they both stare down at Shinichi’s rotting body before leaving him there.

Ran would hold her hand as they both could only gaze at the horizon, unsure of what their new-found freedom would hold but smiling, knowing it would be better.

“Sonoko!”

‘Rotten husband he is’ Sonoko thinks towards herself as she places herself amongst a poorly cushioned couch, he does nothing but torment the two. He would have been dead if Ran hadn’t want to marry him, and oh god; she’d probably go easy on him and then say something amongst the lines of.

‘Just don’t do it again,’ she would say to that bastard . It was probably best if Sonoko was the one to beat him up, teach him a lesson.

“Sonoko!” The imagining of Ran’s voice, an angelic choir with a acidic tinge reminiscent of those badass scenes in movies where the hot main character is holding a cool sword of which Sonoko would swoon for their rescue.

Yeah no Ran’s doing the beating. How could Sonoko not allow it with a voice like that? Heck, her presence is so strong that Sonoko might as well look like a fool by responding to her when she’s not even here.

“Yes Ran-chan?~” Sonoko's cheekish response becomes further more evident as she manoeuvres herself to be able to see behind her in expectation to see no one to respond to her.

“Don’t Ran-chan me!” Only to see the angel herself placing her hands on her hips with eyes ablaze as if she just witnessed a war crime. Sonoko would gladly be the one under that gaze under certain circumstances but sadly, today wasn’t one of them.

“I told you we shouldn’t have come, you were just recovering from illness!” Ran harshly protested leaning towards Sonoko's forehead to determine her current temperature.

Foreheads touching, Sonoko couldn’t help but stare with awe at the concerned look she was given by Ran whose deep lilac eyes could only stare at her with worry. Placing her hand amongst Ran’s silken hair, she give her head a few pets before flinging herself back onto the couch

“I’m fine Ran!” Sonoko exclaimed, dragging Ran down with her as Ran is placed by her side, head nestling on her shoulder in an attempt to look at something of which barely interests Sonoko.

It was probably the diary of which Sonoko was writing in with her internal Shinichi rants and her growing progress of becoming not sick.It was true that Sonoko was recovering but that doesn’t mean that Sonoko was unable to not stay at her house to fully recover. Wait, she's not at her house. . where is she?

Reclining alongside the couch she quickly paces herself up once more to scan the area of which with dread, she realised was not her room nor her couch. The wooden bench is decorated strongly amongst the grovery of nature surrounding her as she finds herself amidst a small crowd of people bustling around what seems to be a mall.

Shops were aligned quaintly organised as a staircase can be spotted signalling the entrance towards the cinema. Remembering the diary note she had entered, she quickly backtracked her memories towards her previous conversation with Ran about changing towards a different movie due to the movie (of which Sonoko had desperately wanted to watch) sharing too many themes with her disappeared beloved.

“So that’s why I was thinking about your husband,” Sonoko's dull groan filled the air, having finished her daily imaginary rant about Shinichi as she looked once more towards the movie selection on her pamphlet.

They had recently decided to go on a movie date due to the brat’s group of friends wanting to watch that new Kamen Yaiba they kept yapping about. Whilst the kids themselves tend to be left alone without surveillance, the group’s recent expedition resulted in a hostage situation and well. . .

A concerned parent will do what a concern does, resulting in the wife of Shinichi taking charge and declaring that she will be the one to take care of the kids in the meantime.

“Not my husband,” Ran countered, having now taken the pamphlet completely away from Sonoko to point at one of the movies that caught her interest.

“Stupid husband, I don’t feel like watching that one” Sonoko grumbled as she kicked her feet amongst the concrete floor before continuing her thought process.

It honestly would make sense why Sonoko had thought she was in the confinement of her luxurious room. Normally those imaginary rants are within the compounds of her room, feels safer there where she can ignore those thoughts of someone reading her thoughts and betraying Shinichi’s status amongst the media. She might hate the man but that doesn’t mean she wants to ruin his damned life, he already does enough of that.

‘How about this one? ' Sonoko pointed, notioning towards another romance movie of which she also wanted to watch but would have preferred to watch it at home.

“Is it possible if we pick something else?” Ran commented, eyeing on the watch on her wrist with great interest of which intrigued the confused Sonoko. “Preferably something under 2 hours”

‘Why’s that?” Sonoko queried, placing her slender arm amongst Ran’s broad shoulders in an attempt to see if there was anything else the queen herself couldn’t see.

“The movie is too long and if I don’t make it on time I won’t be able to strangle the person you just wanted to kill” Ran pointed, booping the shocked Sonoko on the nose as the confused female can only reboot.

“I said that out loud?”

“You don’t say stuff out loud?”

“RAN!” Sonoko puffed out, dragging out one of Ran’s hands as she quickly met Sonoko's forehead resulting in the two girls' foreheads to once more be touching.

“Just teasing,” Like the sun on a summer’s day, there was something truly intoxicating about Ran’s mischievous grin, the way just like her voice it is unexpected of when she will attack and thus Sonoko had a tendency to forget how cheeky Ran could be.

It would be like standing outside for too long, only to find out how immensely damaged you got from the sun resulting in the person going to the hospital and now they have skin cancer. . . ok that was a bit much.

Sonoko noted as she finally noticed the way Ran’s finger slowly pointed towards one of the movie suggestions.

To say Sonoko was unimpressed would be the opposite of an overstatement.

It was a movie adaption of both of her childhood’s friends' favourite tv series with both the mystery to appeal towards Shinichi and poetry to charm Ran. Sonoko could only nod along with disappointment, the poetry was nice but the audience wouldn’t hold a candle to the romance movie Sonoko had suggested. Goodbye potential love interests and hot men she could have sawn through watching the movie.

Hello nightmares of Shinichi staring like the shinigami himself, forcing Sonoko to listen more about his obsession with Sherlock. Don’t get Sonoko wrong, she two has raved towards Shinichi about her favourite obsessions (specifically romance) but to get that compared to a crime scene from one of his favourite books was not always a pleasant experience.

“Why can’t you just message him? I’m sure he can bother to read messages” Sonoko argued, sliding among a line of people waiting to buy a movie ticket.

“Well Sonoko, let me just grab my phone” Ran proclaimed, mimicking the movement of grabbing a phone out of her pocketed dress to only appear empty handed. “If memory serves me correctly I had lost my phone at an aquarium of which I told you about”

“You did?” Was now the best time for Sonoko’s memories to flunk on her now? Sonoko had specifically asked if she could be the one to gift her a phone with Ran responding it was Shinichi’s punishment. Like he’ll find a good phone for her.

“Also. . .” Ran stops in the middle of her explanation, face dreary in what Sonoko could only assume was another excuse for Shinichi making a dumb move.

“Also?”

“He hasn’t been calling me through his phone number” Ran ushered out, hands fiddling with her skirt as she silently looks down before continuing “ I don’t think he can even use it”

To say Sonoko didn’t know this information was a shock, she did and totally didn’t assume that Shinichi was blocking her for the 100th time whilst not recognising the fact she was the one to block him first resulting in an apology for her end.

“I’m sorry what?” Sonoko stuttered, thoughts completely emptied from this revelation of which she responded by turning towards Ran amidst the line of people that really wanted to watch a movie.

“It’s because of the-”

“Case! Case! I know, it’s always about cases with that man,” Sonoko angrily expressed, when was it not about a case in Shinichi’s eyes?

The cashier could only stare at them in complete tiredness when Sonoko had boldly asked two tickets before dragging Ran by the arm to a seated area inside the other side of the cinema lobby.

The cinema lobby itself luckily had a restaurant section for people like Sonoko and Ran to earth and wait for the perfect opportunity to head inside the cinema viewing when the timing is right. The movie wouldn’t start in a couple of minutes which gives more time for Sonoko to converse with Ran about the idiot at hand.

“One day he’s going to get himself into trouble and I’m not even sure if we can be there to help” silence can only be pursued as Sonoko couldn’t help but bite her tongue on what she just suggested.

“I had a dream about him” Ran stuttered out, barely containing her stress for those who know her as her quivering hands imply.

“Oh honey,” Sonoko expressed in sympathy like she had done so every time similar moments were to occur like today.

The truth was he had, very much so. Sonoko would have nightmares and at some point she questions whether those stories were fake or real due to how much trouble that murder magnet finds himself in. It was so simple when they were younger, when Shinichi wasn’t purely trusted by the police and thus wasn’t sent out on cases.

It would be a couple of minutes until the ad roll comes into play.

“Don’t worry about it Ran! He’ll be fine!” Sonoko assured, placing her hand towards Ran’s quivering one in reassurance.

“Are we even sure? He can’t even use his phone!”

“He probably lost it!”

“He doesn’t normally take cases this long Sono-” Ran cuts herself off in a mid-stutter as though she was contemplating on the next words she was about to say. - “He’s our age, why is he taking cases like this?”

“Because we befriended a murder magnet,” Sonoko sighed having one more relayed what she had always said towards the downturned Ran in need.

How can’t he see how amazing she is, truely. The girl’s stressing out about him and where is he? Probably nowhere for all they could know. He could really use someone to tell him- wait a minute.

“When’s the phone call?” Sonoko queried, body stiffened in anticipation upon what Ran could say in desperate hope.

“8:15pm” A whisper of a response from Ran was all Sonoko needed, eyes concentrated on the motivation. Sonoko could only speak from what she could gather from her chest.

It might not have been the best of speeches, but Sonoko could not just stand there as she watches her best friend shrivel up like this as if some random boy isn’t ruining her life..

Honestly it might have been the best speech Sonoko has performed since her poetry recital.

“We are going to watch that movie!”

“Sonoko-” A finger placed amongst her lips was all Ran needed before Sonoko could continue her amazing speech.

“-Hush darling, I’m speaking.” Sonoko notions towards the trouble Ran as her breathing slowly shortens enough for Sonoko to continue talking

“We are going to have fun,” Sonoko declares, standing proudly as her first part of her speech was completed. Poking at her best friend as she continues along. “WE are going to receive a call by that murder magnet at 8:15pm of which you will hear my yells of torment on how he could leave such a beautiful maid alone”

“Sonoko!-”

“- of which I will declare my love to you and we shall get married at sunset!” Sonoko finished with a flick of her wrist to allow Ran to softly rest on the palm of her hands.

“I’m not that beautiful,” Ran splutters, giving Sonoko an annoyed grin as though Ran has insulted her first hand.

Someone please remind Sonoko to reprimand Shinichi for not calling Ran cute, cause clearly Sonoko’s displays of admiration are not getting through Ran’s thick skull but then again. Neither did their upper classmate’s recreation of Shinichi’s speech give any hints so what does Ran know about density?

“No complaints from you, have you seen how the brat looks at you?” No seriously has Ran ever seen how the brat looked at Ran?

“He’s just a kid Sonoko!” Ran counters, somewhat disgruntled by the suggestion but from the tone of her relaxed voice to how rested she appears. Sonoko could honestly just take it as a win.

“Yeah, if you say a teenager possessing a brat is a brat then maybe I will believe you.” His mind could be much older at times, Sonoko noted, reminiscing the times of which one could see Conan at his most vulnerable.

Heck it was just recently when Sonoko noticed the way Conan looked at Ran when the two groups departed that afternoon. The face of sulken defeat as he quickly covers it in hopes of something good happening in the future. Sonoko should know, she bears that face on a daily basis.

“Sonoko!” The choir of laughter erupts from the pair as if a damn finally crashing amongst its weight.

Ran’s laugh was special, Ran herself was special and whilst Sonoko’s appearance is weak and someone who is unable to protect her. Sonoko does know one thing.

“Now what are we going to do Ran-chan?” Sonoko

“Have fun?”

“Have fun!” Sonoko confirmed, squishing the cheeks much to Ran’s dismay as she drags the poor girl into the cinema booth.

At the end of the day, Sonoko was there for support whether it be enabling or wingman in dating. Just like the day of which the first met underneath the sakura blossoms Sonoko associates with Ran, Sonoko will be there for Ran no matter what.

The movie was. . . fine. Deductions were never her interest and flowery poetry that was not about romance was definitely something that did not intrigued Sonoko. If given the opportunity to stay at home or to be at the cinema to waste money on a boring movie then Sonoko would pick the former.

But it was for Ran, Sonoko reminded herself, resting upon the chair as she reclined herself upon Ran’s shoulder. A faint cherry blossom smell could be noticed by Sonoko, a reminder of Ran’s as Sonoko slowly feels the sleep of her eyes settle more.

The movie was halfway over when she had noticed a small child enter the cinema booth unnoticed by most watching including Ran, too focused on the movie to bother noticing people entering and leaving. The child, reminiscent of another child Sonoko knew, quickly looked both ways before pocketing the glasses of which he was not using.

The child places himself on the chair with the dignity of someone about to die as Sonoko notices the pure paranoia emanating from the child as he once more scans the area of which no danger was present. Had Sonoko been awake a bit more she would have recognised the child whom she kept in prolonged contact with someone not of the brat but a childhood friend.

Their eyes glanced at each other but Sonoko was too tired to stay awake, too tired to notice when she had left the cinema or the conversation of which she held with Shinichi via phone, Sonoko’s phone no less. Not noticing the promises or unhinged way of how he talked but what she did notice however. Was the faint echo of her voice being heard when she goes outside of the cinema to notice the same brat with a bowtie clutched onto his hands speaking in the same manner of which Shinichi was speaking.

Sonoko knows her feelings, she knows how to see others such as the brat’s despair written across his face similar to that of a certain detective keeping face or a martial champion trying to focus on others before herself. She knows Shinichi’s feelings, the man of which Ran was talking to shared the same love of which Sonoko shared towards Ran, one day they will talk alone about these feelings but today was not today

Leaving the area and resting with Ran amongst their bed was comfortable as finally, sleep finally takes over Sonoko.

======

Again, in front of the temple

======

“Heiji, you never told me who your ‘first love’ was.” Kazuha tapped her foot impatiently while waiting for the train back to Osaka. During the time in Kyoto, Kazuha had been suspicious of quite literally every pretty girl Heiji talked to, and it didn’t help that he was being so dodgy about the topic.

Hattori waved his hand dismissively, “Are you seriously jealous of a ghost?”

“What?! First loves are… well… special!”

“So?”

“You said you met your first love at Kyoto!”

“…So?”

“HEIJI YOU DUMBASS!!!”

Hattori hesitated for a second before smiling back, “Come on, the train is arriving now.”

—

Kazuha was smart, smarter than most people gave her credit for, and so she decided to drop the entire topic.

Heiji obviously didn’t want to talk about his ‘first love’ and she wasn’t going to force it out of him, although she really wanted to.

But she did realise something, that the ‘pearl’ Heiji’s first love gave him disappeared mysteriously.

“Kazuha-chan, I think it’s good to do it somewhere you two have fond memories of.” Ran said over the telephone, ignoring whatever chaos Conan was stirring up with her dad in the background, “When Shinichi confessed to me, he did-“

“WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO RAN-NEECHAN?!”

(Kazuha lowered her phone’s volume, because although class was already over, she didn’t want anyone knowing she was asking love advice from Ran-chan.)

“Conan-kun, it’s rude to interrupt people!”

“Uh ahahah…”

“And why are you always so invested in my love life?!”

“I understand Conan’s concern, after all you are dating Shinichi…”

“…Dad, and what is that suppose to mean?”

“Ah! Ran… you know detectives are uh… always hiding secrets and…haha”

…

“Sorry Kazuha-chan, I have to go.”

Kazuha grimaced slightly as she hang up the phone.

‘Detectives are always hiding secrets’

And she wished that they would stop thinking that doing that is the correct thing to do!

She wasn’t going to kill Heiji if his first love wasn’t her. That would be childish.

‘Of course, he should just tell me the truth! Who’s that mystery girl? And do you…’

Suddenly the classroom was a bit too suffocating, and in an instant she disappeared from the class.

“Kazuha! Where are you going?!” She heard Heiji calling her, and looking back at him, she smiled.

“Gotta meet someone near the Hosenji temple at 6pm tonight! I need to prepare!”

She smiled because she had a hypothesis that just needed confirmation right now.

—

5:59pm

She checked her phone again, she knew that Heiji was going to be here. Knowing him he probably was overthinking.

‘Heh, he probably thinks that since he tried to look for his first love recently, I’m doing the same.’

…

‘Well even if he doesn’t think that, his curiosity will at least make him show up, so that he can meet this mystery person.’

As soon as the clock striked 6pm, out of the corner of her eyes she saw Heiji trying to take a peek at her.

And so she hid behind a column, just blocking her out of his sight from his perspective.

“Kazuha!”

She smiled, her gamble worked.

“Seems like he arrived on time.” Her grin stretched wide, Hattori stared at her in shock, “How do I look?”

Hattori looked at her with a slight blush, “Even cuter than 9 years ago.”

—

Omake

“Wha- WHAT?” Kazuha couldn’t stop the blush crawling up on her cheeks, “9 years ago? YOU CREEP I WAS 8!”

“I uh ahahah…”

“Hmm… I remember my relatives at Kyoto helping me dress up when I was 8… I even wanted to show it to you.”

Heiji suddenly grabbed her hand and ran down the narrow and bustling streets of the temple.

“WHAT- HEIJI!!!”

Hattori blushed furiously, although Kazuha couldn’t see his face clearly, ‘As if I’d let you figure out my first love was you!’

But Kazuha already knew it in her heart, ‘The girl you fell in love with back in Kyoto, was me, right?’
