Chapter 3
Day 1 - Agreement
“I came to visit because Conan said that you’ve been lonely without me around,” ‘Shinichi’ said.
“Oh really now,” Ran glared at Conan.
“You see neechan…. I’m not Shinichi…. We’re different people.”
“If you’re different people then why don’t you attend school for a week Shinichi and let’s see if you two are really different people.” She looked at the two with a knowing/clever face.
‘Eh!?’ they both said in their thoughts.
“B-but Shinichi-niichan is on a case right now…. He can’t have any distraction now can he?” Conan said worriedly.
“Y-yes just as Conan said. I’m on a case right now, a pretty difficult one.” ‘Shinichi’ said.
“What case would be more important than-” Ran was cut off by ‘Shinichi’ by putting one finger against her lips.
“Alright, alright, I’ll do it. But just for two days ok?”
“That’s a little too short.” Ran pinched ‘Shinichi’s’ cheek and it didn’t appear to be a disguise though. Ran looked at him surprised.
“What was that for?” Shinichi said putting his hand on his cheek.
‘I have to say, looking like me is just good and bad on its own.’ Conan thought.

First Day
Conan gave clear instructions to Kaito as to how he should act and all that and Kaito let out a sigh. It was entirely different from what he’s been doing at his school.
–Teitan High School--
You could hear the murmuring of students as one of their classmates, Shinichi Kudo, was coming back even for only two days. Once Shinichi went inside the classroom he was bombarded by questions and other things.
After getting out of the crowd of students Shinichi let out a sigh and went to his seat. ‘I can’t believe that Tantei-kun actually has this kind of popularity. Wonder how he actually survives his daily life like this.’ He thought as he let out another sigh.

Shinichi was sitting on his chair, arms on the desk where his chin rested upon. He was absolutely bored! Thinking back to his agreement with Ran, he sighed, then put his hands behind his head, shoulders up, looked up at the ceiling, and leaned on his seat.
“Shinichi…” Ran said.
“What is it Ran?”
“…Oh… It’s nothing…” Ran said with a blush and sat on her chair looking at him.
‘Women, they are really weird…. Wonder what’s happening at Ekoda.’ He sighed.
–Ekoda High School—
Aoko was looking at the empty seat beside her.
‘Wonder where Kaito is.’ She thought.
“Wondering where Kaito is?” a voice from behind her said.
Aoko turned around and said, “Akako! Why should I wonder about that magician huh?”
“Don’t worry about Kaito, he’s just helping out a ‘friend’ of his” Akako said.
“How do you know that? And who’s this friend?” Aoko said.
“Ah! Just forget what I said. He just might be sick.” Akako said nervously.
“Kuroba, sick? Was what I heard just now true, Koizumi?” Hakuba asked.
“I don’t know!” Akako said.
“That’s just weird. Kaito doesn’t get sick very often and he never skips school if he’s not sick. Let’s go to his house after school.” Aoko said.
The two nodded in agreement.
--Teitan Elementary School—
Conan was sitting on his chair with his right hand on his chin. He stared on his desk for a long time, thinking of pretty much everything. He thought about what Kaitou Kid would do in Ran’s class. From what he knew about the magician-thief, he’s a flat out trouble maker. He also thought of what would happen if the Black Organization would see ‘Kudo Shinichi’ who was thought of as dead? ‘I’m pretty sure he’d be good as dead if they see him’ Conan thought and sighed.
A worried Ayumi approached Conan.
“Are you alright Conan-kun?”
That snapped Conan out of his thoughts.
“I-I’m alright Ayumi-chan! I was just thinking… about… something.” He laughed nervously.
“If that’s what you say Conan-kun…” Ayumi sat on her chair and sighed. Ai approached her.
“Don’t worry Yoshida-san. Edogawa-kun doesn’t want you to be troubled. Let him think on his own.”
“Yes and thank you Ai-chan!”
Meanwhile Conan was still thinking of what other possibilities will come out of today and tomorrow. He scratched his head/hair furiously just before the bell rang.
