[In Tokyo, Conan is standing outside a door, with a very serious look. An apartment he knew, but hadn't visited too often yet.]

[But he knocked, waiting to see if one of his dearest friends was home.]

[MEANWHILE, on the streets of Tokyo, Akako is heading for the mall. She was planning to buy some new outfits, maybe charm a few boys to carry

[ And she opens the door. ]

... Conan?

[17_going_on_8]

Hey.

Are you busy today?

[He has a rather...somber look.]

[bitchcrafts]

Not really... what is it?

[17_going_on_8]

I need an adult to go somewhere.

And I'd like it if you came along for this trip.

[bitchcrafts]

Hoh... well, who am I to refuse? Certainly.

[17_going_on_8]

[Nods.] Thank you.

[Oddly....serious, but in a more down way than his usual in charge serious.]

I have a cab downstairs. [Holds out his wallet for her.] It's weird when a kid pays.

[bitchcrafts]

[ Taking... ] You know I can pay, don't you? Keh, having a child pay for the cab fare, even through me...

Conan, what's the occasion?

[17_going_on_8]

We know the truth about the situation.

...I want you to come for this. [Already walking down the hall.] So it's fine that I pay for it.

[bitchcrafts]

... so serious today, little knight.

[17_going_on_8]

...sorry.

I'll explain later, I promise.

[bitchcrafts]

I'll hold you to it. [ Acknowledging it was perfectly like him to keep secrets, but still...

Getting in the cab with him, and feigning forgetfulness and motioned to the cab driver. ] Ah, what was the place again?

[17_going_on_8]

Ah, it's the [some port address here. THERE IS A BOAT INVOLVED? And does with all the usual kid cheer.] We should still have plenty of time to get there, neesan.

[bitchcrafts]

You heard the boy, my good man. Take us away.

[17_going_on_8]

[The cabby started to drive and Conan fell silent, not worried about the thoughtful look on his face. He was too small for the cabby to really see in the mirror anyway.]

[It really wasn't his usual fair. It was almost like he was being weighed down.]

[bitchcrafts]

... Conan, something is wrong with you today.

[ And the sky is blue. ]

[17_going_on_8]

...there's someone there I always feel nervous about.
