The Ghost of a Good Mood


"Kudo-kun, why are you calling me at 2 AM?"

"I had a nightmare."

"Do you expect me to comfort you?"

"Actually, I did. Now I don't. I borrowed-"

"Stole."

"-how'd you know?"

"You went to Kid's heist."

"Just because I went to his heists does not mean I will steal."

"Well, for some reason you always went to his heists. You love homicide, not robbery."

"Kid's heists isn't what you could call a normal robbery."

"Right. Because your kind of normal robbery includes guns, yelling, and stealing. Kid's heists covered all aspect."

"You forgot to mention hostages."

"Kid disguises as one of those incompetent police force and lock the real ones up. I say they fell on the hostage category."

"You forgot to mention bullets."

"Bullets are included in the gun category."

"Kid's guns are full of anything but bullet."

"So you're saying a baby might pop out if Kid pulled the trigger."

"Either a hologram or a scientific reason lies behind his tricks."

"Tricks which you love so much."

"I will not deny that his tricks are tricky unlike common tricks."

"And you're too much of a geek to not like puzzle and codes."

"And you're too much of a geek to not like science and math."

"Science is more important than mere codes."

"Ah. The holy words of a holy geek."

"You just insulted yourself."

"And if it means I managed to insult the genius Haibara, then yes, I will insult myself."

"Fine, I overheard you promised Professor you'll 'borrow' some of Kid's bombs earlier."

"Eavesdropping is bad habit."

"Then you are a hypocrite."

"Then I have a bad habit."

"You can give the bombs to me after school."

"What? I can't go to the Professor's home?"

"No, he'll be too busy figuring out how Kid created the bombs to even realize you're in front of him, waving."

"You just insulted yourself."

"I didn't."

"You're too busy doing experiments to even realize I'm in front of you, yelling."

"Something I am doing right now, so if you want me to hurry and discover the antidote, stop bothering me."

"I know. I guessed you're still not listening to Professor's advice to sleep more and are still down in the lab and my suspicions are confirmed when I heard your voice echoed slightly and the fact I am even winning an argument against you."

"Fine! You win. Now leave me alone."

"Victory is sweet."
