"Except for a few scrapes and bruises, Haru-kun is completely fine," The doctor informed. "Though, Haru doesn't seem to recall the events of the ordeal,"
"Are you sure?" Subaru asked. "I think he might need another doctor's opinion,"
"Okiya-san, I as well as the two other doctors you forcibly dragged here, can assure you that Haru-kun is fine," The doctor told him in a stern tone. "We already gave him an x-ray three times, and he has no broken bones. He has no internal damage either,"
"Yay, Papa's okay!" Mizama hugged Haru.
"Maybe we should give him another checkup just in case," Subaru said.
"Subaru," Haru said firmly. "I'm fine. Now stop holding these three doctors prisoners,"
Subaru hesitated but a glare from his younger brother forced him to give in. "Are we sure this guy's actually Akai?" Chiho asked once the doctors had left. "There's no way he'd act like this,"
"My family is overprotective of me," Haru told them and dodged all of Subaru's attempts to wrap him in bubble wrap.

"We're going to Kitanosawa Village?" Haru questioned, staring at all the packed bags.
"Yeah," Conan nodded. "They're having a ceremony at the replacement village commemorating the fifth anniversary of their relocation. The culprit might be there and you might be able to recognize them,"
"How the hell did you get Chewy to agree to that?" Haru turned to the limo. "And why a limo?"
"We're all riding together because he doesn't think you're okay enough to drive your motorcycle," Van informed.
"There's a chance the culprit might go after you and since you're known to the public as Kudo Haru, they know your address," Conan added. "Of course he could easily fight them if they do decide to attack you here, but I told him that you might get caught in the crossfire. I also told him that you could have fun and relax at the Kitanosawa Snow Festival,"
"Let's go!" Subaru called, honking the limo's horn much to the annoyance of the chauffeur.

"It looks like the kids are having fun," Haibara commented as the three real kids sled down the snowy slope happily.
"Tch, there's nothing for us to do here," Chiho scoffed.
"My, my, someone's still grumpy," Christi teased. "Don't keep on frowning like that or you'll end up with a lot of wrinkles,"
Conan looked towards to the skating rink where Ran and Sonoko were skating. Haru was also skating around but Subaru refused to get on the ice. In fact, he was edging away from it, an action that did not go unnoticed by the others. The shrunken teens and crows as well as Professor Agasa walked over to him. "Is something wrong, Subaru-kun?" Professor Agasa asked. "Usually you won't leave Haru-kun's side,"
"I-I just decided to give him some space, that's all," Subaru lied.
"Haru is skating together with someone," Van pointed out.
Haru was skating with a masked man who had black hair and green eyes. The mask was that of a shark. The two were so perfectly harmonized that other skaters cleared space around them. Subaru was glaring daggers at the masked man. "Who the hell is that bastard!?"
The man skated over to Subaru while Haru continued to skate. "I'm offended," The masked man fake gasped. "You don't recognize me?"
"I know that voice anywhere," Subaru snarled. "You're the bastard that seduced my precious baby brother! You're Cognac!"
"It took you so long to recognize your brother-in-law," Jonah removed his mask. "Do I really look that different without blue hair and gold contacts? And don't call me that name in public. I'm Gubat Jonah. Well, it'll be Field Jonah after the organization falls,"
"That'll be the name on your gravestone," Subaru threatened.
"I heard from Akemi and Haru that you are a terrible ice skater," Jonah smirked as he skated away from the edge. "Come and get me if you can,"
"Isn't Miyano Akemi dead though, Aniki?" Van asked Mizama.
"No, she switched out with an FBI Agent who had plastic surgery to look like her," Mizama revealed.

"There are so many delicious foods!" The real kids and Mizama stared at the variety of stalls. "Let's eat all of them!"
"Before that," Professor Agasa cleared his throat. "It's time for a quiz. What's the most suitable menu for a food stand in a plaza covered in powder snow? Number one, baked yam? Number two, isobeyaki? Number three, ikayaki? Number four, takoyaki?"
"What does powder snow mean?" Genta asked.
"It means light dry snow," Mitsuhiko defined.
"Powder snow?" Ayumi questioned. "Powder…powder…"
"Mizama, where do you think you're going?" Haibara grabbed the hood of the former's jacket.
"I'm hungry so I'm gonna grab some food," Mizama said flatly.
"Hey, no fair!" Genta whined. "You need to help solve the code too!"
"Yoshida-san already has the answer," Mizama shrugged.
"It's number four, takoyaki, right?" Ayumi held up four fingers. "Takoyaki is the only one that requires baking powder. Ayumi's mom always makes it,"
"In Kansai, they nicknamed it 'powder cuisine' according to Kazuha-chan," Ran added.
"But wouldn't that be too easy?" Conan inquired. "It needs a twist,"
"Excuse me for not putting in a twist," Professor Agasa sweat-dropped.
"Well, I have a pop quiz of my own," Haibara spoke up. "Which of those is most suitable for the professor? The answer is none of them. They'll all make you even fatter,"
"Let's eat the professor's share then!" Mizama grinned.

It was already nighttime and the group was at the souvenir shop. "Hey, is there anything you guys want?" Haru asked the shrunken crows.
Kouta silently held up a nature book. Van choose a box of bear buns. Chiho held up a box of pastries. Christi decided on a novel. Mizama wanted a swan stuffed animal to add to his collection. The Detective Boys had all decided on their souvenirs. "We're gonna go drive a snowmobile!" They said to the other kids. "You want to come?"
"What about Edogawa and Haibara?" Mizama questioned.
"Shh, we're gonna do it without them!" Genta shushed.
"I think I'll sit this one out," Mizama declined. "I'm gonna try to finish the current level I'm on in my game,"
The chibi crows headed to their room. "Oi Gin, why do we have to pretend to be kids and stick around Akai and that Haru guy!?" Chiho demanded.
"If we choose to return to the organization, they'll most likely use us as lab rats since this is a rare side effect of APTX 4869, the drug meant to kill without a trace," Mizama reminded. "And if we don't keep this act up…would you rather have Akai hand you over to the FBI? Just be grateful that we have this much freedom,"
"Freedom!?" Chiho snapped. "I can't even get a damn drink in this body!"
"Okay then," Mizama saved his game and turned it off. "What's your great plan then?"
"We'll take those brats hostage—"
Mizama's piercing glare caused Chiho to freeze. "Don't you dare threaten my family and friends!"
"A-Aniki, you're not seriously calling these people your family and friends, right?" Van stuttered. "What about the organization?"
"You guys may have joined of your free will, but I sure as hell didn't," Mizama claimed. "I only joined to survive. I only killed to survive. Failure meant death,"
"You looked like you enjoyed killing and torturing people," Christi recalled.
"I'm aware that there are other operatives who hate me so I wasn't going to give them leverage against me," Mizama spat out angrily. "I won't let any of you take away my freedom or harm those I care about!"

The next morning, the kids decided to have a snowball fight. "Hey Chianti, Korn," Mizama challenged. "Are you guys only good snipers in terms of guns? Or will you lose a snowball fight to a bunch of kids?"
"I'm not going to lose to those brats!" Chiho declared, forming a snowball. But before she could aim, a snowball hit her right in the face. "Oi!"
Throwing snowballs was the closest thing they could get to violence besides through video games at the moment. It helped the crows to relieve some stress that they had pent up. The snowball fight moved into someone's yard and they noticed a young teen watching them. "Is it me or is his expression odd," Christi noted. "He seems lost,"
"Can I…join…your group?...Can I…join your group…for a snow fight?" Touma requested slowly.
As Touma's mother entered the room, she dropped the basin of water in shock. "T-Touma!" She brought her son into a tearful hug. "You finally woke up!"
"Woke up?" Haru caught a glimpse of the medical equipment inside the boy's bedroom. "Hey, could it be that boy was in a coma all this time?" Once people gathered around the outside of the house and the doctor went to check Touma's vitals, Haru noticed Yamao Keisuke.
"Haru, are you alright?" Subaru asked, noticing his brother staring at Yamao.
"That man…" Haru said slowly. "He looks familiar…"
"Could he be the bomber?" Subaru questioned.
"I-I'm not sure," Haru shook his head. "He could just be someone I saw in the streets," He shifted his attention to Touma. "Touma-kun sure is unfortunate though. I was stuck in a coma for only three weeks but Touma-kun…he was asleep for eight years,"
Yamao casted a sideways glance at Haru. 'So he survived. At least he doesn't fully recognize me. However, it'll be a pain if he does eventually remember me. I guess I'll have to get rid of him before he does,'

While on a snowshoe trek, the group came across Hikawa Shogo's corpse. The police were called and an investigation began. "Finally something interesting happened on this trip," Chiho said. "Though, I prefer bullets instead of electrocution,"
"Normally I'd scold kids who say such insensitive things, but then I remembered that you're a trigger happy sniper," Haru sighed. "At least don't let anyone overhear you saying those things," He glanced at Subaru. "Hey, can't you be more conversation-friendly? You're practically a ghost with that silence,"
"Well, I did fake my death," Subaru smiled.
"Geez, why did Jonah have to leave suddenly?" Haru groaned. "All he said was that he needed to grab something. What was that thing that was so important that his vacation was interrupted?" 'And why did he take my backup soccer belt?' "Chewy, I'm going for a walk alone. Make sure my kids don't kill anyone,"
"Haru, it isn't safe for you to be alone!" Subaru claimed.
"You don't have to hover around me 24/7!" Haru snapped. "Look, I just need a break, okay? I was hit by a car and can't even remember the bomber's face! Then we come here to relax while also dig up information, yet a murder happens while we're present! And not long after that, my boyfriend suddenly leaves! Some alone time won't kill me!" He stormed away.
'Maybe I have been a bit overbearing,' Subaru thought. 'I should give him some space for now. But at the first sign that he's in trouble, I'm rushing over to him,'

"Finally, some time to myself," Haru sighed. 'I know that Chewy's just looking out for me but sometimes he's so overprotective. I get it, he's afraid of losing family again. I'm afraid of that too. But it feels as if I'm a prisoner constantly under a warden's watch!'
Haru ended up tripping over a rock and fell to the ground. As he did so, a bullet went whizzing over his head. "Who's there!?" 'I'm far from the village. Without realizing it, I had walked almost all the way to the dam,' "Show yourself!" 'I can't just stay still! I'm just a sitting target!' He started sprinting, weaving through several trees.
The sounds of the gunshots reminded him of explosions. He fell to his knees and put a hand to his head. "The bomber…was you!" He was kicked in the stomach and sent flying a few feet, his back harshly hitting a large boulder.
Yamao grinned down at him. "If you hadn't come here, I would've considered letting you live since you couldn't remember my face," He fired a shot at Haru who barely managed to dodge. "Hmph, still going to fight?"
Haru tried to stand up but Yamao fired a bullet into his thigh. "Gah!" Another bullet hit his shoulder and then his side. 'Not again!' He drew out his gun and fired at Yamao, grazing his arm. Without trying to aim, he fired bullet after bullet but only managed to graze him. 'No…' He was out of ammo.
"I don't have time to play with you," Yamao slammed his foot against Haru's head. "I have a dam to blow!" He took out the detonator and activated it. "You'll be the first to go to Heaven! The others will join you soon after!"
A gunshot rang out and Yamao had been shot in the back. He fell forward and attempted to turn around to shoot at his assailant, but his each of his hands were shot. "AHH!"
Subaru stood there, pure rage on his face. "You…" He slammed his foot down onto Yamao's injured hands, digging his heel in roughly. Crouching down, he took out a knife and drove it into one of Yamao's eyes slowly. "YOU MOTHER****ER! HOW DARE YOU HURT MY PRECIOUS BABY BROTHER!?"
"AHHHHHHH!" Yamao screamed. "MY EYE! MY EYE!"
Meanwhile, Mizama was applying first aid to Haru's wounds. "The police and medics will be here soon!"
"H-How?" Haru rasped. "How did you know I was here?"
"Akai had a bug planted on you," Van informed. "I never thought that he'd bug his own brother,"
"I've never seen Akai this terrifying before," Christi commented, watching the torturing scene. "He never even acted like this as Rye!"
"This is quality entertainment right here!" Chiho somehow had a bucket of popcorn with her and was sharing it with Kouta.
"The dam!" Haru gasped. "The dam's gonna explode! It's gonna destroy the village and everyone in it!"
Another explosion was heard and the ski area, which had nobody in or near it, exploded. The snow shifted greatly and redirected the flow of the water. It took a bit longer due to the avalanche, but the police and medics eventually arrived along with the rest of the group. They immediately put Haru on a stretcher but were shocked at Subaru covered in Yamao's blood. The latter was still breathing but in a lot of pain.
"Subaru-san!" Conan yelled. "That's enough! You'll kill him!"
"So what?" Subaru snapped. "The law enforcement here couldn't catch the damn bomber! They allowed him near Mitsuharu and thus he was injured!"
Conan knocked Subaru out with his stun gun wristwatch before he could actually kill Yamao. Thankfully Conan had backup darts since it took five tranquilizers to put Subaru to sleep.

"How have you not been arrested for what you did to Yamao?" Haru asked Subaru when the latter casually visited him in the hospital.
"Uncle Yasu pulled some strings," Subaru smiled. "Right now Yamao's being tortured by the chibi crows,"
"I'm sure they're enjoying it," Haru mumbled. "Please don't tell me that you're going to constantly surveillance me since the one time I'm out of your sight, I end up hurt,"
Subaru stayed silent. 'He said not to tell him,'
Subaru does have a point. Haru said not to tell him that he's going to be under constant surveillance.
