Return
Ran and Conan entered the Kudo residence. They went to Shinichi's room. Conan took off his clothes.
"(red) What are you trying to do, Shinichi?"
"Daijoubu, Ran-neesan. (laughs) Chotto Matte."
Conan swallowed the tablet that Haibara gave him and took Shinichi's clothes in the comfort room. He was Shinichi when he went out of the comfort room.
"Shinichi? How?"
Shinichi caught Ran's lips. He was able to kiss her… lips, of course, at last.
"(red) Hey! Why did you?"
"Gomen, I was not able to stop myself. (laughs) Haibara made a drug that makes me Shinichi again. But this will only take effect for 24 hours. Wait here, I'll call Haibara-san."
Did Shinichi just kiss me? For real?
Ran was out of herself but managed to answer Shinichi, "O-okay."
Shinichi called Haibara to thank her for the drug.
"Arigatou, Haibara-san. How long will I be Shinichi?"
"Shinichi, I'm afraid that you'll be like that for only 5 hours."
"Nani? That's too short! I still want to be with Ran.
"That was a joke."
"Geez, Haibara. How long really?
"For good."
"You mean…?"
"Hai."
Shinichi was so happy to hear the good news from Haibara. He quickly returned to his room and gave Ran a kiss–a deeper one, this time.
"Hey, Shinichi! This is the second one this day!" Ran turned red, again. "I-I'm n-not yet your g-g-irl, r-rem-mem-mber?"
"Sorry, I'll not do that again."
"(smiles) Not that I don't want you to do that to me…what happened? Why are you so happy?"
"Ran, Conan is gone. Haibara told me that I'll never return to Conan again!"
Ran hugged Shinichi tightly. Her emotions were overflowing, again.
"Ran, it hurts. Remember that I haven't fully healed my wounds. But I think a kiss will not hurt me. (laughs)"
"Baka!"
Ran pressed her lips to Shinichi's.
