The boy soldier next to the famous detective

After hearing Conan Edogawa's account of the strange behavior at that house, Jonah took action that very night.

Jonah and Conan secretly slipped out of the detective agency that night. Jonah took out the rope gun that Professor Agasa had made for him from his backpack, aimed at the eaves on the side, and fired, precisely hooking the grappling hook onto the eaves.

Having confirmed that the communication channel between the Bluetooth headset and Conan Edogawa was correct, Jonah easily climbed onto the roof with the help of a rope. After confirming that no one was in the attic, he opened the skylight and climbed in.

Landing silently, Jonah put on the electronic night vision goggles made by Professor Agasa, quickly scanned the area, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Conan, there are many pictures of you on the walls of the attic."

"What? Damn it, I knew they were up to something!"

Conan Edogawa, who was hiding outside on guard, changed his expression and quickly gave instructions to Jonah over the channel.

"Jonah, can you control them? Don't kill them. If it really comes down to it, I can call the police using Shinichi Kudo's identity."

"Someone's coming up!"

Without answering Conan Edogawa's question, Jonah heard footsteps coming from the stairs outside the door. He quickly changed his position, placing himself in a blind spot after the door opened, and then took out his tranquilizer gun and military knife, aiming them at the attic door.

creak-

The door was pushed open, and walking in front was the old man who had been followed by Jonah and Conan Edogawa during the day. He was now smiling and talking to the old woman behind him.

"Indeed, Shin-chan reacts very quickly. Sure enough, he followed me to Chinatown. I still asked my friend to scare him a bit..."

"Wait, Jonah! Don't do anything, they're not bad people!"

The sound came through the headphones and into his ears at the same time. Although he heard Conan Edogawa's terrified scream, Jonah acted one step faster.

The tranquilizer dart hit the "old man" in front of him precisely. While he was still dazed, Jonah rushed out and kicked the "old man" down with a sweeping leg kick, sending him crashing heavily to the floor.

The dagger, which had been raised to strike, narrowly stopped in front of the 'old lady' who was frozen in place, too terrified to move.

Looking at the 'old lady' who offered no resistance and whose eyes were filled with fear, Jonah was somewhat bewildered. He pointed the gun at her and asked through the earpiece, "What's wrong, Conan?"

Jonah was not answered by the voice in the earpiece, but by a series of rapid footsteps climbing the stairs.

Seeing Conan Edogawa rushing up panting, Jonah used his dagger to force back the "old lady" who almost cried out "Shin-chan," his expression full of confusion.

"Jonah, put down your knife and gun! This is a misunderstanding!"

He quickly ran to Jonah's side, pressed down on the dagger in Jonah's hand, and turned to look at the 'old man' who was lying on the ground with a big bump on his forehead and had fallen into a coma. He scratched his hair speechlessly, then turned around and glared at the 'old woman'.

"Mom, what are you guys playing?!"

"Be careful, is your dad alright?"

Knowing she couldn't continue acting, Yukiko Kudo nervously tore off her mask and cautiously glanced at Jonah, whose expression was one of shock.

"I'm fine, I'm sleeping soundly."

Ignoring the conversation between Conan Edogawa and Yukiko Kudo, Jonah walked with great curiosity to Yusaku Kudo, who was still asleep on the ground. He reached out, grabbed Yusaku Kudo's face, and then forcefully ripped off a mask.

"Conan, is that a mask?"

"Yes, that's my mom's specialty. Jonah, can you use the antidote to wake my dad up first?"

"it is good."

Jonah took out the antidote for the tranquilizer dart from his backpack, unscrewed the cap, and waved it under Kudo Yusaku's nose. Kudo Yusaku shuddered and then suddenly opened his eyes.

"Yukiko, are you alright?"

Upon regaining consciousness, Yusaku Kudo immediately called out Yukiko Kudo's name. After seeing Conan Edogawa standing in front of him with a look of disgust on his face, and Jonah with a calm expression, holding a knife in his left hand and a gun in his right, Yusaku Kudo paused for a moment, then raised his hand with a wry smile to touch the swollen bump on his forehead.

"Wouldn't we be considered to have tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead?"

"Serves you right! How incredibly bored must you be to do something like this? Do you even know that if I hadn't reacted quickly enough, you might be missing something by now!"

Looking angrily at his parents, Conan Edogawa was truly angry.

He knew Jonah's style of action all too well. If Jonah really acted quickly and cut something down, his parents would be in big trouble!

Jonah blinked innocently, and seeing that Yukiko Kudo and Yusaku Kudo were looking at him immediately, he realized that the two people in front of him were Conan Edogawa's parents. He secretly put away his weapons and stood aside as if nothing had happened.

"Never mind, let's go downstairs and talk about it first."

Looking at Jonah's innocent face and his parents' somewhat embarrassed but mostly curious expressions, Conan Edogawa sighed. He had never felt so tired.

"Jonah, they are my parents, and as you've seen, they always like to play some kind of silly pranks."

Sitting in the living room on the second floor, Conan Edogawa introduced Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo to Jonah with a look of disgust.

"Mom and Dad, he is Jonah. I think you already know about Jonah from Professor Agasa."

Hello, Uncle and Aunt.

Jonah nodded obediently. He had acted decisively when he treated Yusaku Kudo as an enemy, but now, looking at the big bump on Yusaku Kudo's forehead, Jonah felt a little embarrassed.

"Hello, although this is our first meeting, I've known about you for a long time."

Despite being attacked by Jonah, Kudo Yusaku was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Jonah with great interest and curiosity, and of course, his strongest emotion was gratitude.

"I've heard the professor tell me a lot about what you've done for Shinichi. We are truly grateful for your continued support and protection of Shinichi!"

"Yes, thank you so much, Jonah. If it weren't for you, Shin-chan would have been in so much danger!"

"It's okay, Conan is my friend, and I promised to protect him."

"Ah~ I can't take it anymore, let me hug you! Jonah, how can you be so cute!"

Watching Jonah solemnly make his promise, Yukiko Kudo could no longer contain her excitement. She reached out and hugged Jonah tightly, rubbing her face against his.

Seeing Jonah's blank expression, wanting to break free but afraid of hurting Yukiko Kudo, Conan Edogawa grinned and said irritably.

"Weren't you just afraid of Jonah, Mom?"

"Who said that? I've liked Jonah ever since I saw his picture~ Hey Jonah, what's that hard thing on your back?"

"It's a dagger." Worried that his answer wasn't clear enough, Jonah added, "The one that almost slashed you, Auntie."

"...Hehe, really? Carrying a dagger with you all the time, that's a good habit~"

"Dad, could you please keep an eye on Mom? She's a bit out of her mind."
