Re: The Hopelessness of Hakuba

“Driven insane by baked goods.  You know, that’s just crazy enough that I can actually see that happening.  I think it’s more likely someone wanted to send you into a sugar coma and make you gain a few pounds.  Then you could be the Doughy Detective.  I will admit though, that would’ve been a good means of misdirection if someone wanted you distracted.”

“I… shall have to watch out for that, then. Both the distractions, and the induction of sugar comas… Doughy Detective? No, thank you. I keep a strict diet regimen to ensure that I can have my tea just as I like it…"

"Do you think that I’m too uptight, Kuroba-kun?"

“I see your point.  Cookies in large amounts can be so sinister.  What if the gifter was trying to give you diabetes from such a large sugar dose?  Or perhaps they think you have a nut allergy and put walnuts in them?”

“Stranger things have happened… I suspect that they wanted to ruin my trim figure somehow, but honestly, how can anyone be expected to eat three hundred cookies on their own…? I suppose they could have known that I would over-analyze the gesture and spend all night running in circles… perhaps that was their sinister intent: to drive me to madness.”

Re: COOKIES

“Is that so? Well then… I suppose I will bring them by. After all, anyone with such good taste in automobiles would certainly appreciate these cookies which – from what I have seen thus far – ARE safe to eat…”

Question 008 (if you give a Hakuba a cookie…)

image

image

image

“While undoubtedly delicious, three hundred seems a tad excessive, doesn’t it? I may nip one or two for myself, but if it’s all the same to you, I’d like to share the rest with my followers… Let’s see, two hundred ninety-eight divided by twenty is… 14.9 cookies per follower.”

image

“That’s still… quite an unhealthy ratio of cookies per person. But, wait, perhaps if I take an equal share and also send some over to those blokes with the very nice car…  That’s three hundred divided by twenty-three, leaving us with 13.043 per person…”

image

“No, no, that won’t do at all… I can’t imagine that anyone should want more than two cookies, but that would mean that I would need one hundred and fifty people to give cookies to… I suppose I could take them to my father’s office but even that would be excessive and then I would have to worry that my father’s colleagues are assuming that I’m trying to gain additional favor… and I can’t have that!”

image

“Perhaps one of the upcoming charity events? No… then I’d have to register them and it would not be coming from a proper catering service which would raise suspicion that we’re cutting budgets… and if I just left them there discretely, they would suspect that they were poisonous…”

image

“Actually, I don’t know the origin of these cookies in the first place… How do I know that they are safe for anyone to consume, much less my fans, friends, family, and colleagues?!”

image

“…I could always send them to Hattori-san… but I believe by this point that may be suspect for several different reasons.”

image

“I would just throw them away and be done with it, but I wouldn’t want to be rude. It was awfully considerate of that person to send me cookies in the first place, especially as I do love the occasional treat…" 

image

"Well! I suppose I ought to get on testing these cookies to ensure their quality and safety. then. It should only take me three or four hours to reach a conclusion.”

“If it is so boring, though, I wonder if that’s the true danger. You’ll be fine, if you’ve been to these before, but I may be the first person to die from boredom.” Kaito twitched a bit intentionally, to emphasize his point. “Or maybe it will be much more boring than other ones you’ve been to and we’ll both end up dying from boredom.”

“Let’s hope Detective Mouri doesn’t show up, otherwise someone may end up killing another. There’s rumors that he or that Conan kid that stops KID are cursed.” He was only half joking. The distinct amount of murders those two came across, from what he’d heard, was sincerely starting to make him wonder if one of them pissed off a witch.

“I would be very surprised if either were invited. While it’s true that Mouri-san is present at these sort of things often enough, it’s usually for him to be a headlining guest. My father has personally chosen you instead, along with the usual high brow crowd. Mouri-san simply doesn’t have the kind of financial backing that they’re after… And as much as I adore Edogawa-kun, it’s likely that there will be an open bar…" 

Hakuba smirked at that. 

"Speaking of, there are ways to stay entertained…” Hakuba said, deciding to not elaborate on that point. “But between my parents’ constant bickering and your magic tricks, I think we’ll all make it through this alive." 

Then he laughed. Soft, genuine, laughter.
