The boy soldier next to the famous detective

In the end, Conan Edogawa was still unable to find out what the "big gift" Dave wanted to prepare for Gin was from the tight-lipped Jonah.

Jonah didn't want to talk, and Conan Edogawa didn't have any way to interrogate him. If Ai Haibara were on his side, he could try to coax her, but clearly, on this kind of issue, Ai Haibara always chose to support Jonah.

Unbeknownst to Conan Edogawa, his casual remark had plunged him into a deep dilemma once again. Meanwhile, Jonah, after the operation came to an end, finally received a long-awaited call from Korn.

"Mr. Oshima, have you returned from abroad?"

"Um, Jonah, are you free this weekend? I'd like to play a few rounds of wargames. Let's go together."

"Sure, I have time."

Jonah readily agreed, even though there were now new ways to acquire weapons, she hadn't forgotten Cohen's kindness.

Strictly speaking, Cohen was the first friend Jonah made on his own after arriving in Tokyo.

Although he was an assassin, Jonah felt that he and Cohen got along really well.

"Mr. Oshima, are you in a bad mood?"

Cohen's tone remained calm throughout, but Jonah, acting on his childlike instincts, subtly sensed the change in Cohen's tone.

"A little bit."

Somewhat surprised that Jonah could tell from his tone that he was in a bad mood, something that even Chianti, his longest-time partner, hadn't noticed, which left Cohen somewhat astonished.

"Did someone upset you, Mr. Oshima? Do you need my help?"

He spoke in a calm tone, but said something very dangerous. In Jonah's eyes, Cohen was already his friend, and if Cohen, with his calm and indifferent personality, was unhappy, then what happened must be something serious.

"...I am an assassin myself, but thank you anyway, Jonah."

Jonah's statement moved Cohen deeply, but considering that his bad mood was due to Gin's influence, Cohen felt that Jonah still didn't have that chance.

But does Tokyo even have someone skilled enough to leave a gunshot wound on Gin's face? When Cohen saw Gin's injury, he was so surprised he almost popped his eyes out, but thankfully he always wore sunglasses.

However, the missions that follow may not be so easy. Gin now harbors great hostility towards the organization that saved Shiho Miyano, especially the dwarf assassin who rescued Shiho Miyano on the rooftop of the Beika Hotel last time and used Shiho Miyano's phone voice to scheme against them this time. This dwarf assassin has now become the enemy that Gin most wants to kill with his own hands, besides Shuichi Akai.

Gin anticipated that the phone call might be a trap set by the enemy, but he still didn't want to miss this opportunity to kill Shiho Miyano, so he decided to turn the tables on the enemy.

The plan was well prepared, but who could have imagined that the opponent would be so strong!

Gin was injured, but his fellow sniper, Calbardos, was even more seriously injured, completely stunned by the dwarf assassin.

Without revealing anything about the organization, Cohen simply made plans to hang out with Jonah over the weekend before hanging up.

After hanging up the phone, Jonah went downstairs to the detective agency and saw Kogoro Mouri lying on the sofa with a grief-stricken expression, as if he had lost the meaning of life.

"Conan, what's wrong with Uncle?"

"My uncle misunderstood Ms. Okino Yoko's invitation to the wedding. He thought she was getting engaged, which shocked him."

"Yoko Okino?"

Jonah paused for a moment, then realized that even someone who didn't know much about idols would recognize this woman. After all, she was Kogoro Mouri's favorite idol, and he could always see her when he watched TV with Kogoro Mouri every day.

Furthermore, the autographed record that Yoko Okino gave to Cohen was also a gift that Yoko Okino had given to Kogoro Mouri.

"Yes, Miss Yoko and Uncle have a very good relationship. This time, her friend wants to hold a small engagement party and wants to invite Uncle to attend."

"Friend, are her friends also celebrities?"

"Probably. What's wrong, Jonah? You're interested in celebrities too?"

"No, but I'd like an autograph, is that alright?"

"As for the autograph, there shouldn't be any problem. Just ask when the time comes. You've always been popular with older sisters, so it should be easy for you to get it."

Looking at Jonah with some surprise, Conan Edogawa remembered Jonah as someone who wasn't particularly interested in celebrities.

"Speaking of which, I remember Jonah, you asked your uncle for a signed record by Yoko Okino before, saying it was for a friend... Wait, Jonah, you're not signing this one for that friend too, are you?"

With his eyes slowly narrowing, Conan Edogawa realized something and gradually approached Jonah, his voice becoming ethereal.

"Jonah, which friend are you delivering this to this time?"

"Is he the assassin, or the arms dealer?"

......

On the day Yoko Okino invited him, Jonah went to a luxury apartment and met four female celebrities who had debuted as part of the "Earth Ladies Team".

Although Jonah didn't quite understand the combined value of these four actresses, judging from Kogoro Mouri's ecstatic expression, it was clear that all four actresses were currently very popular and outstanding.

So Jonah took out the autograph board he had prepared in advance and asked everyone for an autograph, even the only male celebrity, Kenzaki Osamu, for one.

Kogoro Mouri and his friends were guests invited by Yoko Okino. Jonah, with his aloof expression and pleading look, was quite adorable. The celebrities all smiled and signed autographs for Jonah, with the most lively Kaoru Kusano even giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Having gotten what he wanted, Jonah lost interest in the adults' conversation and simply sat on the sofa, quietly drinking juice and watching TV.

Watching everyone chatting happily, Jonah felt a sense of relief that he had managed to attend a party with Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa without causing any trouble.

A moment later, Jonah's relaxed mood was shattered when Kenzaki Osamu went to call for Kusano Kaoru and Edogawa Conan shouted.

"Jonah, go to the doorway!"

Jonah sprang up from the sofa, drew the electric tranquilizer gun from his waist, and rushed out of the room. Carefully avoiding the bloodstains on the floor in the doorway, he opened the door and ran into the hallway outside.

Upon finding a blood-stained raincoat and gloves at the entrance, and noticing that the elevator was not working, Jonah immediately drew his gun and rushed to the emergency exit, but heard no footsteps there.

Jonah returned to the house with the tranquilizer gun and saw Conan Edogawa preparing to give Kaoru Kusano emergency treatment with a first-aid kit he had taken out of his backpack. Jonah quickly approached, pulled away the manager who was still crying while hugging someone, and threw him aside.

"Conan, let me do it."

"Alright, it's up to you, Jonah... Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Conan, maybe we should visit other people's houses less often in the future."

"ha?"
