After the simulation, the female characters in Detective Conan break down.

The smile on her face finally faded.

The people around her asked her with a smile:

"Senior, why did the senior leave?"

Ran Mouri looked away and replied expressionlessly:

"His surname is Hoshino."

The teammates were all completely dumbfounded when they heard this.

So?

Ran Mouri paused, then added:

"So you can call him Hoshino-senpai!"

???

Fine.

On the other side, Hoshinogi left and went to a place far away from the competition venue.

As soon as he answered the phone, a seductive female voice came from the other end:

"Hey Louis! Did you miss me?"

"..."

Hoshinogi remained expressionless.

"what's up?"

"Honestly, you're so cold-hearted. How can you turn your back on me after you've done your work?"

Hoshino frowned slightly:

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

He probably realized he had gone too far in flirting with her.

Vermouth's alluring voice suddenly turned serious.

"It's an organizational matter."

Hoshinogi remained expressionless.

"Oh!"

"Oh?! I was wondering why you're such a procrastinator..."

The person on the other end of the phone seemed quite exasperated.

....Dividing line....

Vermouth paused briefly before returning to normal:

"The boss already knows what you've done, and he'll probably summon you back soon."

"Be careful and prepare yourself properly."

Hoshinoki was silent for a moment:

"Prepare..."

He was about to thank them when he suddenly sensed someone approaching from behind.

Hoshino swallowed the words he was about to say.

The conversation changed:

"Is it time to get paid?"

salary?

Vermouth was stunned on the other end of the phone.

Hoshinogi...is he that short of money?

Previously, Hoshinoki was just an outsider to the organization.

The tasks I did were all simple odd jobs.

There's really not much money to be made.

Now, Hoshinogi has just joined the organization.

The boss won't feel comfortable letting him go on a mission alone before he understands him.

For the organizers, not completing tasks means no money.

It's obvious!

Hoshinogi is really poor!

"I'll talk to the boss and tell him I'll take you on the next mission, and you'll get paid."

"I can't help it," Vermouth said helplessly.

"Okay, thank you."

Hoshinoki quickly hung up the phone and turned around.

Who was it that just sneaked up behind him...?

Hoshino walked slowly toward the competition venue.

Upon entering the venue, I saw Ran Mouri sitting in the first row.

She was staring intently at the ring, as if she had never been there before.

Could he be a reporter?

No, judging from his aura, he should be a master.

They are definitely not ordinary people.

Hoshinogi sat down next to Ran Mouri.

Ran Mouri also noticed that Hoshino Ki had returned.

So she turned to look at him:

"Mu, what a pity! You didn't see it at all. The last match was absolutely amazing!"

"..."

Hoshinogi stared intently at Ran Mouri with his dark eyes.

It seems they are trying to determine whether what the other person is saying is true or false.

"Um... Mu, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Is something you're busy with?"

Ran Mouri felt a little guilty under Hoshinogi's gaze.

She looked away the instant her eyes met his.

A thin layer of sweat had even seeped out from his forehead.

"No, it's just that my workplace is paying wages."

Hoshino glanced at Ran Mouri, then turned her gaze to the match field.

Ran Mouri isn't very good at lying.

It seems she's the one who was eavesdropping!

Fortunately, it wasn't anyone suspicious.

"Is that so? Then you're not leaving, are you?"

It was indeed Ran Mouri who was eavesdropping in the shadows just now.

But she didn't hear anything suspicious from beginning to end.

All I heard Hoshinoki mention was the "salary".

Hoshinoki turned his head to look into her eyes.

His dark eyes were filled with seriousness:

"I won't leave."

Ran Mouri smiled sweetly.

"810, please welcome contestant number 3, Ran Mouri!"

The loudspeakers on the field blared.

It's finally time to go on stage.

Just as Ran Mouri left.

All eyes were drawn to Hoshinogi.
