Series Commentary from Gab and Yuki:

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank yukitsukihana, for always giving me an opportunity to participate in dcmk crack. Here she writes Aoko and Kaito, as usual, and I take on the roles of Hakuba and Akako.

This does have a couple of panels from the latest Magic Kaito manga chapter, so it has been put under a cut to make it easier to avoid spoilers. 

Thank you, please enjoy. 

spoiler town here we go~

Hakuba: >____>;;;;; so immature
Akako: *snorts* she’s so naive 
Hakuba: HE’S MORE LIKE A WHITE FALCON
Kaito: ….oi
Akako: no, just a silly little dove
Hakuba: FALCON
Aoko: cockroach!!
Hakuba: ’___’;;;; Nakamori-chan, really…
Aoko: *NODS*
Hakuba: …. I’m very sorry to say this, but you’re hopeless
Akako: playground tactics from our little kouhai~~
Aoko: Hakuba-kun!!
Hakuba: you can’t go around calling people that you like a  cockroach!
Aoko: well he is! he always keeps coming back, even if you don’t want him too!
Kaito: OI

Akako and Hakuba think about that, because she has a point.
Then, at the same time: 

Akako: he’s more like a stubborn tom cat then
Hakuba: perhaps a cat would be more appropriate 

and they look at each other
and Hakuba goes <////<;;;

Aoko: no way. cats are cute and cuddly

Kaito: *eyebrow twitch*

Akako and Hakuba BOTH OPEN THEIR MOUTHS
TO REPLY
THEN LOOK AT EACH OTHER
CLOSE THEIR MOUTHS
…and keep their comments to themselves

And Now for a Bedtime Story:

Gab: Once upon a time, there were three little detectives who each had a little house. One built his house of books by Ellery Queen. One build his house of books by Arthur Conan Doyle. And the last built his books from the entire Oxford university library.
Gab: Then, along came the big bad Kaitou Wolf, who stalked up to the Ellery Queen house
Gab: and huffed
Gab: and puffed
Gab: and KICKED OVER THE LITTLE PILE OF BOOKS

OPINIONS ON HAKUBA’S OBSESSION WITH TIME.

image

His obsession basically boils down to three things: 

  1. The Master Watch – is an heirloom passed down through the men in the honorable Hakuba family line. Technically, Hakuba’s father – The Superintendent General Hakuba – should have taken possession of it when his father died… but when the grandparents disowned Saguru, claiming that the marriage between their son and ‘that foreign tart’ was not sanctioned in the first place (they eloped), and refuse to recognize a half-blooded bastard children as a rightful heir, Hakuba Sr stole it and gave it to Saguru, anyway.
    He is proud of his son and thinks that he should be happy to be a part of the Hakuba family, even if it means that their branch has been cut from the larger tree. Oh well.
    Hakuba is pleased to show it off at every heist, case,  and interview, proving that he is doing great things and IS a part of the family, whether they like it or not.

  2. Eidetic Memory is a Bitch –  Hakuba’s memory is like a steel trap; very accurate, very detailed, very easy to recall… but along with it comes every other sensory input – sight, taste, smell, feeling, emotions… Most of the time, he’s able to extrapolate just the vital information in terms of data that he can use in paperwork, but it requires a lot of self-discipline and work. Sometimes, however, the ‘flashback’ of memory is so intense that he loses track of what is happening in the present. It all works in tandem with PTSD , and those experiences can be quite triggering. 
    The watch helps with this in two ways:
    First, it acts as a physical anchor that he can use, with ritual to ground himself in the present. This helps to stave off anxiety attacks and more traumatizing memories that he doesn’t want to be forced to live through. 
    Second, it allows him to accurately record the data for the CURRENT situation, which he then compares to his wrist-watch, then records in his notebook. This way, he doesn’t have to rely on only his memory for analysis, which he is quite picky about. With careful note taking and accurate records, he feels much more confident in his work and control of the situation.

  3. Accuracy as a Scientist – Since Saguru has been shown to be at least a passable chemist, interested in the work and equipment in his grandfather’s private laboratory in Japan, it would stand to reason that he would be used to keeping very accurate notations for every experiment. After all; a single digit can change the entire outcome, and the scientists in the labs do all that they can to check everything to extreme measures of precise calculation.
    I think this is why he sometimes includes the milliseconds, etc. when he’s notating the time to others; it’s a habit of working with scientists… and quite possibly humorous to him, since it really is excessive, but some take it quite seriously.

((Then after everything Kaito and Heiji start to tease him about it while Conan is the only one who actually praises him out loud.))

Shyness gave way to embarrassment once the detective finished his song, then turned to mortification when he realized that the response from his companions hadn’t been a standing ovation or stricken with awe – Hattori and Kuroba were laughing. And not just any laugh, but the riotous, falling over each other sort, each holding their sides and each other as their howls competed with their lungs for oxygen.

To be honest, Hakuba wasn’t sure what he’d expected to happen after his performance, or what had possessed him to go up onto the stage in the first place. It was so completely unlike him, particularly in front of his associates that he felt absolutely helpless as he stepped away from the mic and dropped down to the ground level next to the orchestra pit. They were there to investigate the multiple death threats that had been lodged against the band’s lead vocalist, not to live out a silly little fantasy. 

Blush burned into his cheeks and mouth fixed in a tiny frown, he brushed past the heckling pair of hyenas and strode off to make his escape. Let them laugh, he thought coldly, ignoring their calls after him. We’ve work to do.

He was at least grateful that there were few people in the auditorium, minimizing the damage. He needed to find the stage manager for questioning…

“Oiiiiii! Hakuba! Wait up!”

Hakuba turned back to find himself looking at Cona – aka his rival, colleague, and idol in disguise – and blinked, expression guarded. Great… now Kudou wants a turn to stab me right in the heart. 

“How’d you learn to sing like that?? That was really good!" 

"Y-you… really think so?” Hakuba stammered the question out before he could stop himself, letting the praise steamroll right over conventional politeness. “Ah, I mean…”

Conan nodded, eager and child-like as he often was when in public or on the case. It seemed that he slipped into the act naturally as anything, but the child-like wonder added a certain charm to the compliments. “Yeah! I had no idea you could sing! Great detective and vocalist?”

It was almost too much. The blond shuffled from foot to foot, thrusting hands into his pockets in a sheepish display of humility. “Ah, thank you…. My mum was a music major in university – concert piano – so I’ve been involved in music since I was quite young. Choir, piano, violin…" 

"Ehhh?? You play the violin, too?”

The boy smiled in that way that he did when he was particularly impressed under cover – or trying to hide something. It felt genuine that time, at any rate, and Hakuba couldn’t help the warm contentment that always overcame him with such adorable displays. 

“I do, yes… I understand that you do, as well, don’t you?" 

"Yep!”

“As an homage to Mr. Holmes?”

“Of course!”

Hakuba laughed, pleased and amused and alltogether quite proud to mentally file that tidbit of information away with all of the other details that made he and Kudou Shinichi a complementary pair. The others may not have appreciated his talent, as inappropriate as its reveal was, timing-wise. 

And, really, that was good enough for him.
