“But the egg inside…” Natsumi Kosaka suddenly remembered something, her expression becoming hesitant, “That’s Chairman Suzuki’s…”
“Uncle Shiro has already given me this egg,” Yuzuru said from the side.
Sonoko jumped out excitedly, "Yeah, yeah, my dad said he'd let us play with the eggs."
“So, Miss Natsumi, after 70 years…” Hanyu Nan took out the Egg of Memories from the table and handed it to Kosaka Natsumi, “This birthday gift from the Nicholas II family is being returned to its rightful owner today.”
"Mr. Hanyu..."
Natsumi Kosaka reached out her trembling hand to receive the Egg of Memories. She looked up at Nanami Hanyu's gentle, spring-like smile, her eyes overflowing with gratitude.
"Alright, everything has finally ended in a comedy!"
Kogoro Mouri put his hands on his hips and burst into hearty laughter.
Just when everyone thought everything was going well...
In the darkness, a barely noticeable red dot quietly moved onto Kogoro Mouri's right eye.
"Dad!" Ran noticed something was wrong and, without thinking, kicked Kogoro Mouri away.
*Smack!*
A soft thud was heard, and a shallow crater appeared where Kogoro Mori had just been standing.
Yuu Nan turned to look at Kogoro Mouri, who was already embedded in the wall, and his lips twitched.

"Ah!" she couldn't help but exclaim.
However, the imagined pain did not come as expected; instead, she felt herself fall into a warm and firm embrace.
"Miss Xia Mei, be careful!" A gentle and magnetic voice rang in her ear.
Natsumi Kosaka slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the handsome face of Nanami Hanyu. His eyes were full of concern and tenderness, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, carrying a reassuring smile.
“Mr. Yu... Mr. Yuzuru…” Natsumi Kosaka suddenly felt her heart beating very fast.
After a moment, she came to her senses and quickly turned around to look.
A dark figure flashed through the darkness, quickly picked up the Egg of Memory that had fallen to the ground, and then dashed out like a ghost, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
