"I'll go ask him, he's not asleep either."
Without giving Takagi time to refuse, Kōyū got up and walked towards the tent where Conan was after he finished speaking.
Just as he expected, as soon as he entered the tent, Guangyou saw Conan sitting on the ground reading a mystery novel.
Hearing the noise, Conan looked up and asked with some confusion, "Huh? Aren't you going to sleep in your own tent?"
