Mystery Fan: Thanks for the information! I'll try to use it later for my story.
Chelseaj500: Conan will get suspicious. I just won't tell you when.
Like everyone else, I don't own Detective Conan
For me, this was a chapter with lazy effort, so it might not be good as the other two.
Chapter 2
Dinner was finally served. Kogoro just wanted to devour his meal. Nate, Conan, and everyone else just enjoyed the food. After dinner, everyone was bored. Kogoro was watching his favorite Yoko Okino on TV. Conan was reading one of his Sherlock Holmes books again. Ran was helping Nate and Alice get some clothes for them to sleep at night. Luckily, they could fit into their clothes. "I guess these clothes are acceptable." Nate said.
"Good" Ran said. "Alice-chan, you'll be sleeping with me tonight. Do you think using a sleeping bag will work for you?"
"I guess so, Ran" Alice said.
"Then, Nate...I'm sorry, do you think you could sleep on the couch tonight?"
"It's okay, Ran" Nate said.
Few hours later, everyone to sleep. "Good night, everyone!" Ran enthusiatically said.
Everyone else groaned, "Night..."
In the middle of the night, Alice quietly sneaked away from her bed and into the living to talk to Nate.
"Nate. Nate. Nate." Alice whispered to Nate while shaking him.
"What it is, Alice?"
"What are we gonna do about tomorrow, Nate?"
"Don't worry, Alice. We'll ask them to help us find a home tomorrow."
"But we don't have any money."
"Relax, Alice. We'll figure it out soon."
"If you're so sure about it, I'll trust you Nate."
"Okay, Alice. Now go back to sleep."
"Okay. Good night, Nate."
"Night, Alice."
The next morning, everyone was hungry this morning. Ran and Alice were making breakfast. When it is was ready, no one was talking. They just enjoying their food. After breakfast, Nate asked, "Excuse me Ran, do you know of any apartments that are available in this neighborhood?"
"I don't know. Why do you ask?" Ran said.
"We decided to live somewhere around here. Do you know of any places?"
"How about staying with Subaru-san?" Conan blurted out.
"Subaru-san?" Alice asked. She remembered Subaru Okiya. She and Nate wondered and debated if that person was Akai Shuichi or Bourbon. Currently, he lives in the Kudo mansion ever since the boarding house he lived in burned down.
"He's a student attending Tokyo University to get his degree in engineering. Subaru-san used to live in a boarding house but someone burned it down. Now he lives in the Kudo Mansion and hakase allows him to stay there." Conan explained.
"Hakase? Where does he live, next to the Kudo mansion?" Nate said.
"Yes. How did you know?"
"Umm...Lucky guess?" Nate thought, 'Uh oh, he might be on to us.'
"We should probably ask hakase if they could live there." Ran said.
"Okay" Conan said.
"Oto-san, we're going to hakase's. Don't ruin the house while we're gone."
"Yes..." Kogoro said while drinking his beer and watching Yoko again. "YOKO!"
"Excuse me hakase, I was wondering, can you allow two more people to stay in the mansion for a while?" Ran said.
"Why?" Agasa said.
"They don't have a place to stay and they don't have enough money to stay somewhere else."
"I guess..." Haibara tapped Agasa "we have to discuss it for a second." Haibara also called Conan to them.
"Are you crazy, Kudo-kun? You're letting complete strangers live with a possible Black Organization member. He might even murder them!" Haibara ranted at Conan.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Like I said, a Holmes fan can't be a bad person."
"You are naive."
"They don't have enough money to stay anywhere else. Please let them stay there for a while."
There was a moment of silence as they were thinking about it. "Fine."
"We've decided to let those two stay there." Agasa said.
"Thank you very much, Agasa-hakase!" Nate and Alice said.
Ran, Conan, Nate, and Alice are walking to the Kudo mansion. They used the spare key to enter. The first thing they saw was Subaru drinking a glass of Bourbon reading Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Sign of Four".
"Hello, Mouri-san, Conan-kun. What brings you here today?" Okiya started the conversation with.
"Hello Subaru-san, do you mind if you have some people living with you? They don't have a place to live right now." Ran said
"Not at all, it will remind of my old boarding house."
"Thank you. Nate-kun, Alice-chan, this is Okiya Subaru."
"Hi." Nate and Alice said.
"Subaru-san, these people are Mizutani Alice and Nate. They have American names like Conan-kun and have been seperated from their oka-san. Please make them feel at home."
"Hello, it's nice to meet you." Okiya said.
"Same to you too, Subaru-san. I can cook for you if you want to." Alice said.
"That's kind of you to offer. Thank you for your hospitality."
"I hope we can get along." Nate said.
After their conversation, Nate and Alice chose their rooms. Then Ran offered something.
"How about we go shopping for new clothes for you two?"
"I don't know. We don't want to waste your money." Alice said.
"It's okay. Besides you don't have any clothes or things with you."
Ran then made a call to Sonoko. "Hi, Sonoko. How would you like to go shopping with us?"
This is it for Chapter 2. Sorry if I got any honorifics wrong.
I'll try to update as soon as I can.
