The man and the fish wanted to chat, so they found a nearby drink shop and sat down.

"What would you like to drink, Kudo?" Hasegawa Yu casually flipped through the menu. "I recommend this restaurant's signature drink, Type A."

"Whatever." Kudo Shinichi looked him over. "Do you come to this store often?"

"It's been quite a while since I've been here."

Taking advantage of Kudo Shinichi's lack of detailed knowledge of his past whereabouts, Hasegawa Yu recklessly copied his experiences from the original world. "I didn't expect there would be a chain store of the same kind here."

From this perspective, the two worlds are quite similar in many ways.

Seeing the high school student silent and wondering what he was thinking, Hasegawa Yu closed the menu and said, "Then I'll order two cups of Type A signature drink."

While waiting for the drinks to be served, he took the initiative to ask, "Kudo, what question did you want to ask me this time?"

Kudo Shinichi didn't ask immediately, but narrowed his eyes. "You seem very excited."

"Because I figured out one thing." Hasegawa Yu shook his head.

Since there are some things that cannot be hidden, why not just assume that Shinichi knows everything?

Hasegawa Yuya didn't know where he would be exposed. Apart from the follow-up information that he absolutely couldn't tell Shinichi, he might as well just expose everything else!

Rei-kun was able to deduce that he knew magic based on a candy jar and a puppy doll that looked just like the ones sold in a boutique, so Shinichi should be at a similar level.

After all, Shinichi knew from the beginning that Noah was by his side, and there was also a message from Shinichi in the fourth episode.

Kudo Shinichi, who was placed with high hopes but lacked a key clue, suddenly sneezed.

Hasegawa Yu kindly handed him a tissue, then leaned forward slightly and spoke excitedly.

"Shinichi, do you know of a better way to recover Mr. Okiya's weapon?"

Kudo Shinichi: “?”

"I want to use this disguise identity again, as well as Mr. Okiya's, so it would be best if we can avoid being targeted by the Brotherhood."

Kudo Shinichi: “???”

"If that doesn't work, Shinichi, if you're willing, could you help analyze the situation of the FBI police officers who are colluding with the mafia?"

Kudo Shinichi: “???”

Kudo Shinichi clenched the tissue in his hand tightly, "Stop!"

Hasegawa You, who was about to continue asking questions, stopped talking obediently, blinked his eyes, and looked at the high school student sitting opposite him with anticipation.

Kudo Shinichi opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know where to start.

What’s going on? Why is the showdown happening for no reason?

Not only did she ask him for help, she even acted like it was super natural.

This is illogical!

After a long while, Kudo Shinichi finally uttered, "Why are you asking me all this without even a brief introduction?"

Hasegawa Yu was puzzled, and with a hint of as if it was natural, "Shinichi, you know that this is not what we are going to talk about today. So I wanted to hear if you have any good ideas."

It never hurts to have an extra smart brain to come up with solutions!

Kudo Shinichi did sense traces of himself, the AI, and another unknown third party involved in the fake identity "Tobias," and then discovered the fake identity "Okiya Subaru." He followed the clues and found the police record. He learned the details of the case from the FBI: "..."

He was indeed going to talk about this today... No!

It was completely different from what he had expected!

Kudo Shinichi rested his elbows on the edge of the table, folded his hands to cover half of his face, and stared at the young man in front of him inquiringly.

The waiter then brought them drinks.

Hasegawa Yu pushed one of the cups to another person and took a big sip himself.

The refreshing feeling of the fruity sparkling drink instantly filled his mouth, and he sighed, "Huh~ It tastes the same."

Kudo Shinichi: “…”

Kudo Shinichi tried to bring the conversation back to normal, "If you've been to this restaurant before, you'll usually say 'It still tastes the same as before' or 'It tastes familiar' or something like that.

'Same taste' almost feels like comparing it to something else."

"Yes."

Hasegawa Yu admitted it frankly, not nervous at all, "I already have a memory of the original world, so it's not surprising to have another me in the other world."

Shinichi is really amazing! My previous thought was right, and I exposed it with just one sentence~

“I’ve had drinks from this shop in my own world.”

Kudo Shinichi: “…”

Kudo Shinichi, who failed to control the rhythm, fell into confusion.

Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.

Not to mention the strange world that appeared out of nowhere, and not to mention the fact that the other party was an idiot and he couldn't even catch up with the conversation, today's development was not in line with common sense!

It was like a derailed train, not only rumbling across the grass, but also going further and further away, unable to stop at all!

Hasegawa Locomotive Yuu was cheerful on his own, "By the way, after we finish talking, can we find a place where there's no one?"

Hearing this, Kudo Shinichi perked up, "What are you going to do?"

"Since there's an alternate world, it's normal for there to be magic, right?"

Hasegawa Yuu's tone was as if he was chatting with a friend about where to go next. "Kudo, do you want to listen and see it?"

Only by breaking science can we believe more in the messages!

Although he still doesn't know what exactly is in the messages Shinichi and Shuichi wrote to themselves.

Thinking of his plans for today, Kudo Shinichi remained silent.

Hasegawa Yuu pressed on, "Kudo, are you coming?"

Suppressing his uncontrollable curiosity, Kudo Shinichi took a deep breath and said, "Come."

He'll see through the deception!

The man and the fish happily enjoyed their drinks. (The latter's perspective)

Since there is a busy commercial district nearby, the man and the fish obviously have to take a ride to somewhere else before they can "study" magic.

While drinking, Kudo Shinichi, who had been brainstorming non-stop, took the person at the center of the brainstorm to a parking lot, took the keys from his pocket and said, "Get in the car."

Hasegawa Yu stopped a few steps away from the car, looked at the four-wheeled vehicle in front of him, then looked at the high school student next to the car, his eyes moving back and forth between the two silently.

The underage Kudo Shinichi's forehead twitched slightly. "In New York, anyone who turns 16 can get a driver's license with the consent of their guardian."

However, he rides a motorcycle for daily travel and doesn't really want anyone other than Lan to sit on the back of his motorcycle, so he just changed his car today.

Judging from the current situation, the result is still somewhat unsatisfactory.

"Oh~" Hasegawa Yu suddenly realized and nodded. He took out his phone, opened the encyclopedia, and typed, "Kudo, please wait for me for a moment."

Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi, who couldn't see the other person's phone screen, felt for the first time that having too good reasoning ability was not always a good thing.

For example, at this moment, he didn't really want to deduce what Hasegawa Yu was typing without blinking.

But his mind was racing so fast that he didn't even have the chance to stop himself from thinking further.

After confirming that New York really has a rule that allows drivers to get a driver's license at the age of 16, Hasegawa Yu finally felt relieved. "Sorry for the wait, let's get in the car~"

Kudo Shinichi was inexplicably arguing with him, "Normally speaking, I'm a minor, shouldn't you take the initiative to ask to be the driver?"

"But I'm a directionally challenged person," Hasegawa Yu said honestly. "I can't even understand navigation."

Normally, when I go out, I rely on Noah's real-time instructions.

Shinichi in the fourth episode is very reliable, he believes in Shinichi!

Kudo Shinichi: “.”

Hasegawa Yu, who had no psychological burden in letting a minor to be a driver and had a clear understanding of his status in the eyes of underage high school students, fastened his seat belt.

"I know that a big part of the reason Kudo tolerates me is because of Noah."

Kudo Shinichi pricked up his ears and reluctantly decided to listen to what he had to say.

"I will try my best to make the reason why Kudo tolerates me his own!" Hasegawa Yu clenched his fist.

He will become good friends with Shinichi again!

If the person was still standing on the ground, Kudo Shinichi thought he would probably stagger on the spot.

The amazing thing was that at this moment, he didn't have any thoughts of trying out any plans, and was only filled with the desire to complain.

Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but wonder if he had done something wrong by trying to extract information from that idiot.

There was no conversation along the way, and the car soon arrived at a remote place that no one visited.

While driving, Kudo Shinichi, having sorted out his complicated emotions, looked at the other person calmly and said, "Okay, cast your magic."

Hasegawa Yu gave him a bright smile.

Five minutes later.

After listening to a surround sound song in the car, Kudo Shinichi put his hands on the steering wheel, lowered his head and said nothing.

The image that flashed through his mind seemed to be in a safe house that he would choose given his style. Explosions were heard beside his ears, and flames that shot up into the sky illuminated the entire dark sky red.

And he was being pinned down by someone, watching all this, feeling anxious and angry inside, and hating the people who were suppressing him.

Who is he thinking about? Kudo Shinichi frowned. The people in the safe house are his parents... Uncle Maori...

"orchid!"

Hasegawa Yu was startled by the sudden voice, "Kudo?"

Kudo Shinichi took a breath, ignoring the pain left in his mind when the memory flashed, and grabbed his wrist, "What's going on with the memory? Why did this happen?"

"I can't sense what memories you've recovered."

Hasegawa Yu didn't pull his hand back, and gently comforted him, "Based on experience, this is a memory from your past rounds, and it's the only thing you can recover at the moment."

"Don't worry, whatever bad memory Shinichi has, it won't happen again this week."

Kudo Shinichi was stunned.

"I found a lot of teammates for Shinichi this week."

Hasegawa Yuu's eyes curved, "We are all very capable people, we will definitely be able to solve all the problems!"

Kudo Shinichi released his wrist without a word and remained silent.

"If you're willing, Kudo, can you tell me what memory you're recalling?" Hasegawa Yu looked at him worriedly.

Kudo Shinichi closed his eyes. This constant exchange of names was really...

He paused and described a small part of the scene.

"Ah." Hasegawa Yu pursed his lips, "This should have happened in the fourth season."

Kudo Shinichi opened his eyes and said calmly, "Are you sure that the method of making me recall past memories has been tested on my 'teammates'?"

"……Um."

"I understand." Kudo Shinichi sat up straight and started the car. "This time I will really go back and think about it seriously."

The only emotion in my memory is not regret.

He does not regret his decision.

After dropping the person off at an intersection where it was convenient to get a taxi, Kudo Shinichi drove away.

Hasegawa Yu stood there, looking at the gradually disappearing rear end of the car, stroking his chin, "Shinichi really cares about Miss Ran."

"It's pure love~"

【I think he is a blue lover. 】

Noah's Ark complained, and then told the mermaid about his situation. "Ran Maoli has not yet revealed my existence to Kudo Shinichi."

"The plan was successful!" Hasegawa Yu was excited, but then he fell into deep thought, "But did I forget something?"

What is it.

After returning to the apartment, Hasegawa Yu was shocked when he saw the man who had obviously been rolled around in the battle, "Mr. Akai, you are not injured?!"

Oops, I forgot about what happened with Xiuyi and the FBI!

"I ran into people from the Brotherhood," Akai Shuichi said calmly, "I'm fine, but they suffered heavy losses."

"By the way, I got the sniper rifle back."

"Why are you acting so rashly, Mr. Akai?" Seeing that there were really no wounds on the man, Hasegawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "There are so many of them."

"Don't worry, Okiya Subaru didn't go to the FBI building today." Akai Shuichi said calmly, "I didn't wear a disguise. Those people didn't know it was me who attacked them from behind."

Hasegawa Yuu hesitated to speak.

"The car is also intact."

Hasegawa Yuzhi said he wanted to.

Seeing that people's reactions were different from what he expected, Akai Shuichi asked: "What did you want to say, young master?"

Hasegawa Yu said slowly, "Mr. Akai, as long as you are happy."

Compared to this, minors are much less of a worry!

Akai Xiu glanced at him and silently went to wipe his sniper rifle.

As pedestrians on the street gradually took off their heavy clothes, the models in the posters on the building screens changed into new spring clothes in advance, and the departure date of Karasuma Renya's cruise ship was also set.

"Ten days later." Hasegawa Yu murmured.

"Yeah, so I have to go back and help Zero and the others."

Morobushi Kagemitsu, who came to inform him, was worried, "Is Xiaoyou going back to Japan? I saw Kudo also went back to Japan a few days ago."

If it doesn't work, tie Shuichi Akai back!

"Wait a little longer." Hasegawa Yu shook his head.

During this period, through the stowaway (?) contact of Noah's Ark, Mao Lilan successfully recovered the memory of the original world.

With her as evidence, Kudo Shinichi's collapse value also began to loosen.

Miss Ran is in charge of Shinichi's side, and as for Brother Shuichi's side... Hasegawa Yu thought, "I'm afraid you two will fight."

Akai Shuichi's collapse value has only dropped to 90%.

Zhu Fujing's eyes wandered, "Not really."

At most, you can put a sack on him, and you can't be careful where your fists go.

"It's better for Xiaoyou to stay in the United States." Zhu Fujingguang stopped persuading her after thinking of something.

If the cruise ship is bombed, Karasuma Renya will definitely be bombed as well, and Japan will probably become uneasy.

"Brother Jingguang, you must be careful."

"Yes."

A few days later.

After receiving the news that the plan of several seniors was successful, Hasegawa Yu's tense mood relaxed, "That's great!"

"Karasuma Renya is currently investigating the murderer."

Fūya Ling, who quietly passed on the news, did not forget to instruct, "Xiaoyou, if you have any questions, please contact us through Noah's Ark."

"Okay~"

Hasegawa Yu did not bother them.

A few days later, the time came for the originally scheduled cruise departure date, but no memory of that day came back.

Hasegawa Yu was puzzled and continued to wait patiently.

Until one morning, almost two months later, Hasegawa Yu was awakened from his sleep by Noah's Ark.

[Xiaoyou, the memory of the fifth round is back. The death point is still five minutes later.]

Hasegawa Yuu woke up with a start, "Come on!"

Finally he got here, let him see what the cruise ship is like.

[……] Noah's Ark hesitated for a moment and released the memory.

In the fifth week, Yu opened his eyes.

As the scene of Gin shooting him in the head faded away, time went back and he returned to the third round, five minutes before the explosive ambush by the American man.

Still reeling from the various emotions he felt after learning of someone's death, Yuu leaned against the wall in Week 5 to catch his breath, "Noah."

【Don't worry, there's no one around. 】

Noah's Ark signaled the mermaid to slow down. "Since Mao Lilan has recovered her memories of her original world, I will communicate directly with Kudo Shinichi and send him the message as planned."

【The commissions for Akai Shuichi were also released as in Act 4. 】

"Okay." Yuu took a deep breath, "Let's get out of here first."

After finding a safe place, he waited patiently for his next encounter with Akai Shuichi.

What happened next was pretty much the same as in Act 4. Shuichi Akai accepted the commission and found a new safe house on the same day.

After everything was settled, Yucai from the fifth week took out the message from Akai from the fourth week.

After reading it, Shuichi Akai remained silent for a long time.

Yuu stood cautiously not far away, "Mr. Akai, if you've finished reading this, I have a request."

Akai Shuichi: "Speak."

"Can I hug you for a minute, if you'd like?"

Yu opened his arms and revealed himself to him, "Or you can hug me. I don't have any weapons. Just a moment will be enough."

When he met the orange-haired young man's eyes that were gleaming with water, Akai Shuichi paused.

Most of the content in the message is consistent with the current situation.

He will have proof of the remaining little things that will happen in the "future" tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Akai Shuichi thought of the last message:

Hasegawa Yu's mental state may be a little bad. If he wants a hug, please agree to it, even for a second.

Anyway, with my ability, he can't beat you, right?

As if possessed by some mysterious force, Akai Shuichi agreed to the request, "Of course I will agree to my employer's request."

This mercenary, who has been walking on the edge of danger for many years, gave Hasegawa Yu a ten-second hug when they met for the first time.
