"The glory of the Showa era is restored today!"

"This weekend, a unique Showa accessories exhibition will be held at the Tokyo Big Sight."

"The most legendary gemstones, exquisite and unique jewelry, and unique handicrafts will all shine here."

"Step into the long river of history and feel the endless charm of Showa craftsmanship. Let's go back to that shining era together."

In a hotel in Tokyo.

Sera Masumi, who had just finished taking a shower and changed clothes in the bathroom, wiped his wet hair with a towel and walked out.

‘This seems to be Akikawa’s next job. ’

‘Why do I always feel that his career as an artist is not going smoothly? The jobs he receives don’t seem to attract much attention among young people. ’

Sera Masumi turned around and looked at the promotional words that sounded on the TV screen accompanied by a Showa-style picture, and thought in his heart.

In this hotel room where it is claimed that only Sera Masumi lives alone,

There was also a little girl who looked like a primary school student and had short blond wavy hair.

The little girl was sitting on a chair in the hotel room, typing on the computer keyboard.

The look of her operating the computer seriously and focused seemed a bit out of place with her little lolita appearance.

"So pure."

Hearing Sera Masumi come out, the little girl who was typing on the keyboard suddenly called out.

"Come here for a moment."

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Sera Masumi, still holding the towel in her hand, stepped towards the little girl.

This little girl, who has a similar body shape to Conan and looks no more than junior high school age, is actually Sera Masumi's mother, MI6 agent Akai Mari.

Akai Marie, like Conan, became a child after taking APTX-4869.

Akai Marie noticed Sera Masumi coming over with her peripheral vision. She suddenly reached out her hand and lifted the hem of Sera Masumi's T-shirt.

Sera Masumi did not expect this scene.

When she reacted, the hem of her clothes had been lifted up by Akai Marie.

And her flat belly, which had severe subcutaneous bleeding and was glowing purple-green at the moment, was exposed to the air without any reservation.

‘It’s over, it was indeed exposed. ’

Sera Masumi thought to herself with some embarrassment.

Then she saw Akai Marie raising her head and looking at herself with unique dark green eyes that were the same as her own.

Facing her mother's sharp gaze, Sera Masaki felt a little nervous.

But even so, she couldn't help but ask:

"Mom, how did you find out?"

"In the past, after you took a shower, you would come out wearing a tank top and shorts at most. When did you become so refined?"

"You have to put on your T-shirt and pants in the bathroom before you come out."

Akai Marie looked coldly at her daughter, who looked more like a boy than a girl, and said in a deep voice.

"Tell me, what happened to this injury?"

"What have you been secretly investigating during this time, Zhenzumi?"

While Sera Masumi regretted her carelessness in her heart, she also knew that she could no longer hide it.

So he told Akai Marie everything that happened at the hot spring hotel.

And after Akai Marie heard that her daughter was almost killed by Belmod, and even let Belmod see her face,

There was also an extremely shocked look on that delicate and small cheek.

"Hey, mom, what's wrong with you?"

This was the first time Sera Masumi saw her mother showing such an expression.

"I didn't expect that both of us almost died at the hands of that Belmode."

Akai Marie sighed after a moment.

The APTX-4869 that caused her to shrink was "personally" administered to her by Bellmode.

"Actually, mom, you don't have to worry so much. Belmode doesn't even know that I'm mom's daughter, does she?"

Compared to Akai Mari, who had a shocked look on her face, Sera Masumi didn't appear that worried.

"It's just that my appearance is a bit troublesome. I'm afraid I will be hunted down by people from the organization soon."

Sera Masumi sighed softly as he recalled Akikawa Ryoko who had been hunted by the organization for more than ten years.

"Although it may not feel that fast, you have to be careful, Masumi."

Akai Marie said.

"Masumi, how did you survive under that Belmode? Did Kudo Shinichi save you?"

While she was thinking about the function of the software developed by Belmod's client, she also wondered why Sera Masumi was able to survive when facing Belmod.

"not really."

Sera Masumi said, and then told her mother the complete story about Akikawa Kyusuke saving her.

But when Akai Marie heard that her daughter had been rescued, there was no expression of realization on her face.

Instead, his frown deepened.

"Who is this Akikawa Kyusuke?"

"Akikawa and his mother have been avoiding the organization's pursuit, and then last year his mother was killed by the organization."

Sera Masumi said.

"But if Akikawa's mother was killed so easily by Chianti, how could Akikawa have such ability?"

"According to what you said, Masumi, Akikawa identified the real murderer of his mother based on Masumi Sera's reaction."

"And he deduced the time when the organization made the transaction based on the behavior of Kunio Koizumi dismembering the body."

"Besides, he deceived you and Shinichi Kudo after the car accident."

"If the child has such ability, how could her mother be simple?"

"But she was killed so easily by Chianti."

Akai Mary said in a deep voice, feeling that Akikawa Sousuke was very wrong.

"I can't figure this out."

"But I think it should be that Akikawa is special."

Sera Masumi said.

"By the way, Masumi, you will investigate the truth of the car accident. Could it be that Akikawa induced you to do it?"

After knowing the specialness of Akikawa Sousuke, Akai Mary keenly realized this possibility.

She was a little worried that her daughter would be deceived by the artist who sounded very cunning.

"That's not the case. I went to investigate the car accident case out of my own will."

"But it was Akikawa's sister, Yoko Okino, who gave me the general direction of the investigation."

After listening to Masumi Sera's account of her private conversation with Yoko Okino in the hospital, Mary Akai also realized that something was wrong.

"It seems that Yoko Okino didn't tell you the truth."
