Just one more chapter before this arc ends…and this sets up for the climatic battle, and the fate of Shinichi Kudo will be decided…should Ankh decided to absorb the Kujaku Medal…but then, with the Condor medal still in Kougami's hands…will he be able to…?
Tokyo Port Area, still nighttime, everything looks peaceful while the scene shifts to the shore where several men are boarding small boats as they venture in to the seas to catch some fishes. They're fishermen and they are going to catch some fishes so that they can make money and sell them to several flea markets within Tokyo.

112:Akai Medaru to Uragiri to Honō no Konbo part 7
After about 30 minutes, the fishermen (about 30 of them) came back to shore, carrying a huge net where they captured about hundreds of fishes, all are ready to be collected and send to the market while keeping them in large bins with water so as to keep them fresh and not rot within the rest of the night, and for the fishermen, it's a good time to harvest so as to make money so they can make ends meet.
Nearby, Kazari passed by the area searching for Kyuji or Ankh in hopes of finding either of them so that he can regain the Tora Medal so he can absorb it and regain his full form. Although tempted to cause some mayhem just to attract O's attention, he chose not to as he is patient enough, but seeing the fishermen harvesting, he listens on to their conversation.
"Okay, guys…get ready!"
"Yeah…we're going to get a lot of fishes to catch!"
"Yup…more fishes…more money we can generate!"
"Woo-hoo! Let's get our nets and start fishing!"
"We'd better get going! The trucks' set to arrive in 5 am…"
"Don't be such a busy-body…we got all night…"
"Hey…who wants some dynamite…?"
"No way!"
"You moron! The coast guard will have our hide!"
"Take that away or we'll bomb you!"
"Okay, okay…"
"Come on…while the night's still young!"
"Okay…"
"Time to hit the seas!"
"Ah…the tons of Yen I can earn…"
After hearing their conversation, Kazari got an idea on how to make a good plan so as to attract O's attention and decided to use this as an opportunity to destroy O's and Ankh, while excited in the prospect of getting his Core Medal back. He glances at Kazuha, who is still under the Yummy's influence, and sensing that the Yummy is getting stronger and stronger, where you can "hear" Cell Medals being produced rapidly, and decided to use her as a bait, knowing that they cannot over power the Yummy.
"Looks like things are going my way…especially with how good a plan I'm able to cook…"
-x-
Not far, Shiho and Heiji tend to Kyuji as the vagabond woke up, where he suffered a lot of bruises, and a sprained left leg and ankle, which they managed to stay inside the hut that they found, and so far, neither Kazari nor the Lion-Kurage Yummy has found them. The trio is in the process of recovering from what earlier in the day, and Heiji is apologizing for his actions on why he aided Kazari in getting his Core Medals back, though the two realized that Heiji did this because of the false promise the feline Greed made, which shows earlier when Kazari made his Yummy re-possess Kazuha.
"I'm sorry…you got in to this mess because of me…"
"It's alright, Heiji…"
"Yeah…Kazari tricked you…at least you made up for it by distracting him enough for the others to get away…"
"But…because of me…he came close to powering himself up…and I almost got you killed…"
"Don't worry about it…"
"We'll stop him…"
"About that Ankh guy…"
"Well…about that…we'll tell you once we saved Kazuha…for now, let's switch to a different topic…"
"Okay…"
After admitting that he was a fool who fell for Kazari's empty promises, Heiji and Kyuji began to discuss and sharing stories of being used by their respective partners. Shiho noted Kyuji's condition, with a strained left leg and sprained ankle, and is worried about tomorrow, aware that Kazari would send the Yummy out to force Kyuji to go out and fight the monster, who is still possessing Kazuuha's body.
"Kyuji…are you going to be alright with your current condition…?"
Before everyone retire for the night, Shiho glances at the window, wondering how Ran and Ankh are doing, assuming that they too are hiding from Kazari at this time, and sends a text message to Ran about their current location, and soon Ran replied stating that she and Ankh are fine and that so far Kazari hasn't pursue them.

Somewhere within Tokyo, the scene shifts to a rented apartment where Vermouth is staying and she is sitting on a chair, facing a laptop on top of a table where a Batta Candroid is attached via a USB cable, where she saw the footage of what transpired earlier in the day, seeing that Kazari is close to regaining his full form only to find he is missing one more Core Medal. She smirked at seeing how close he is only to be outwitted by Ankh. She realizes that even Ankh is crafty, perhaps because he has absorbed some of Shinichi's memories.
"For an incomplete Greed…perhaps using Shinichi Kudo's boy can be beneficial…now then…what would you do if you were to absorb your Core Medals and regain your Greed form…? What would you do to Shinichi's body…eh, Ankh…?"
She also saw that Ran has aided Ankh in regaining his Core Medal, and now she is sure that Ankh has three of his Core Medals, but she wondered what would happen if he absorbed the Kujaku Medal and another Core Medal, seeing that he would regain his Greed form but this puts in to question on what would happen if that were to happen, how will it affect Shinichi Kudo's body.
"I guess I'll have to wait and see…and if that scenario happens…I do hope it wouldn't do anything bad to my "silver bullet"…"
Moreover, she became curious as to see O's use another red Core Medal and see what form would he took, so she decided to see how this plays. She decided to send the Batta Candroid to follow where the battle would lead them as she is curious on what kind of outcome would occur. She feels that something interesting might happen and she wouldn't afford to miss this.
-x-
Elsewhere, the scene shifts to the home of Kaito Kuroba, where Kaito is watching the footage from the Batta Candroid where it shows Kazari coming close to becoming "complete" seeing how he absorbed his Core Medals only to miss one more, and seeing Ankh getting HIS Core medal back, he sees this as a "moment of truth" now that he has the chance to get his Greed form back, but then there's the question of what would happen to Shinichi and his body if Ankh were to absorb his Core Medals. His assistant, Konosuke Jii also watches and the two discussed about what they just saw.
"Hmm…I wonder if I should be excited or concerned about this situation…? If THAT scenario were to happen…where would this lead to, and what would happen to Shinichi's body…"
"Master Kaito…"
"Ah, Konosuke…"
"I see you that you're watching the Greed situation…"
"Yeah…and somehow I feel that something is going to happen…be it good or bad…"
"Are you sure about keeping that red Core medal your holding? Suppose…"
"I know…but we should wait and see what would happen if Ankh were to absorb his regained medals…and to see how it would affect Shinichi's body…"
"I see…but we don't know if that would restore that detective's health…or perhaps abandon that body should he has no more use for it…or in a worst case scenario…convert his body to that of a Greed…"
"I hope THAT scenario won't happen…"
Both wondered what would happen if Ankh were to regain his form and where would this leave Shinichi Kudo. Konosuke theorizes that either Shinichi's body be restored to full health or be abandoned, or the possibility of Shinichi's body be converted into that of a Greed, which made Kaito worried, knowing that Shinichi is one of the good detectives in Japan and it would be a big blow if he were to be erased from the world, and that would mean the Black Organization will no doubt rule the criminal underworld.
"My, my…you're both worked up over those mysterious monsters made of artifact-like objects…"
A voice is heard and they noticed that Kaito's mom, Chikage, is there, watching the footage as well, surprising her son as he didn't expect her to show up. She then tells him that she is aware about the Greed having seen the news about the four Greeds at the Tokyo Tunnel and have witnessed O's battles with them:
- O's battle with the Kamakiri Yummy and witnessing Ankh taking possession of Shinichi Kudo;
- O's battle with Kazari and the Neko Yummy;
- O's battle with Gameru and Mezeru, seeing how the Core Medals work and what would happen if a Greed is deprived of his/her Core Medals;
- Seeing O's forms, from Ta-To-Ba, to Gata-Kiri-Ba up to Ra-Tora-Tah;
- And witnessing the rampage of the chimera-like Greed, where Ankh, Uva and Kazari scrambled to get their hands on the remaining Core Medals
Both Kaito and Konosuke are surprised that Chikage was able to keep ahead with the current events, and having known about O's and Ankh, but she pointed out that O's will no doubt be on guard as he is making sure nothing bad would happen to Shinichi Kudo, but tells her son to be prepared should THAT event about Ankh absorbing his Core Medals might happen.
"You…you knew?"
"Of course…I'm not that less resourceful like your dad…but be prepared should Mr. Kudo may turn into a Greed if that so-called Ankh has no intention of letting that body go…"
"…"
"Anyway…dinner's here…and you should eat…"
Chikage then brought a covered plate and told him it's dinner and said that he should eat it, and when she opened it, Kaito went into a terrifying frenzy as he jumped away, almost falling out of the window, much to Konosuke's dismay.
"KKKKYYYYAAAAHHH!"
"Come on, now…open wide…"
"KEEP THAT AWAY FROM ME!"
"Sigh…Mistress Chikage sure never beats around the bush…she do love to make her son "lively"…"
"KONOSUKE! HELP ME!"
The plate contains a HUGE, fried salmon, and as she scoots near her son, Kaito freaked out further, as he is suffering from a phobia on fishes, and he begs to Konosuke to do something, which he is unsure on what to do. He sighed as to why Chikage had to tease her son like this and wished that Toichi were still here to intervene and puts Chikage in her serious place.

Once more, not much action is shown here, but it did show that our heroes survived, however, with Kyuji injured, it may hamper his efforts to stop the Yummy and save Kazuha.
Kazari is now hatching a scheme to lure Kyuji and Ankh out and this would set a precedent on what would happen once morning comes in. that would eventually set up the "climatic battle" that would decide Shinichi Kudo's ULTIMATE fate. And no doubt this would affect the rest of the upcoming chapters of this fic should anything were to happen to our favorite detective.
The characters from Magic Kaito shows up once more, and this time Chikage Kuroba shows up, and surprises her son by telling him she is well-informed about the current events, and gives a post-night teasing by serving him her favorite dish – fish, which is his BIG weakness because of his phobia on fishes. Many thanks to Spider EXE , for telling me this fact, as I was unaware of this and about the ongoing "Magic Kaito" manga series.
Vermouth is also aware of this and there's no telling what she's up to if she were to witness what would happen in the morning should Ankh take the Kujaku Medal and absorb it, and she is curious to see what would happen to Shinichi if that were to happen.
Preview:
The conclusion of this arc, as O's faces the Lion-Kurage Yummy, and his injuries severely hampers his efforts, but Akira Toudou's assistance might not be enough, so who would save him and Birth?
And lastly…Ankh regains his Core Medals…and is ready to absorb them…will this help O's in defeating the Yummy? Or will he lend them to O's and give him access to a new form? And what would become of Shinichi if Ankh were to absorb them?
Tune in next chapter, where the answers will be shown…in a shocking fashion…
