"She just didn't want us to worry," Dr. Agasa explained.
"I know."
Conan knows this too.
He was just making a casual comment.
Just then, Dr. Agasa's stomach suddenly rumbled.
It could have been a summons, or it could have been a coincidence.
Immediately afterward, Conan's stomach also made a "rumbling" sound.
They set off after breakfast.
I encountered another case at noon, and after resolving it, I came straight back.
They didn't have time to eat at all.
