"Would you like some water?" Kudo glanced at the banknotes in his hand, then reached out and touched the coins in his pocket.

There were about 20 or 30 of them, weighing heavily in my hoodie pocket, making a strong presence.

"Hmm," the pink-haired man thought for a moment, "Ayi, will you buy me a drink?"

"Yeah." Kudo had already walked to the vending machine. He hesitated for a moment while holding the coin, then reached out and pressed the orange juice option.

Subaru Okiya saw this and paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

When Kudo looked over, he smiled and said, "I'll just drink coffee."

Kudo looked away and chose black coffee from among the many options.

He bent down and picked up two cans of drinks, then glanced at the dozen or so coins left in his hand, pursed his lips, and looked back at the vending machine in front of him.

Coins take up more space than paper money. In addition, he was wearing a loose sweatshirt. If the coins were placed in the center pocket of the sweatshirt, the clothes would sink due to the pull of gravity.

That is, the clothes he wore would suddenly become tight and the collar might be pulled from his collarbone to his chest.

Just, very ugly.

Kudo wanted to reject this image, but he couldn't possibly buy all the drinks with this pile of coins. He couldn't just throw them away and give them to Akai Shuichi... No, what was he thinking?

Kudo blinked hard to get rid of this inexplicable idea from his mind, threw a bottle to Okiya Subaru, and prepared to pull the ring while holding the coin.

...can't open.

It turned out that his hands were not flexible enough to hold the coin and open the pull ring smoothly.

"Eh? Is it open or not?" Okiya Subaru had already taken a sip of black coffee. When he tilted his head back to drink the water, he thought for a moment because of the angle.

The boy in front of me has the same name and appearance as the smaller Kudo Shinichi. Their personalities seem very different, but their hobbies are similar.

Subaru Okiya glanced at the orange juice in Kudo's hand and took a sip of coffee.

There was something wrong with both the can of orange juice and the can of black coffee—why had this guy bought him black coffee?

He didn't believe it was a coincidence at all. In fact, people like them rarely showed preferences for things. If you said he showed it in the past few days, he didn't believe it at all.

As for orange juice, it is Kudo Shinichi's preferred drink, but orange juice is not unique, and there are many people who like to drink orange juice. This may just be a coincidence.

But Shuichi Akai never believed in simple coincidences.

Moreover, their similar appearance and hobbies can't be a coincidence. Moreover, the person in front of him came from the organization's laboratory, which makes it difficult for people not to think of conspiracy.

"Let me help you." Okiya Subaru said, and naturally put the coffee in his hand into Kuro Kudo's hand. After taking the can of orange juice, opening it, he gave it back to him.

"Ah...thank you." Kudo took the orange juice, took a sip, and then heard a sound of "Ah——".

Lu Qi:……?

Shikasai, who was under Kudo's skin, almost trembled and splashed Okiya Subaru's face.

Could it be that drinking orange juice... is there a switch?

Shikasai really wanted to look at the orange juice in his hand with suspicion, but Okiya Subaru was beside him, so he could only quickly turn his head to look at the source of the sound.

Not far away, a man fell in front of another vending machine. One meter away from the man was a can of freshly opened orange juice, with yellow liquid spilled all over the floor.

Lu Qi:……

He couldn't help it.

Kudo subconsciously lowered his eyes and looked at the orange juice in his hand.

"I'll go take a look." Subaru Okiya stuffed the coffee into his hand and ran away.

Kudo looked at the two cans of drinks in his hands, slowly took another sip of orange juice, and then walked to the body.

There are three people at the scene, one woman and two men.
