"Shhh, Mr. Detective."

"It's the implementation of unusual schedule." Or a simpler sentence for it is he's just bored.

"Well〜 Do I always have to send notice letter to people like you? Mayhaps your eyes aren't sharp enough to notice the letters I sent." A drop of sweat fell from his temple after seeing the detective was ready with his handcuff. "How about us doing a little friendly talk ?"

Mischievously throws pebbles at him.

"That was a rhetorical question, Mr. Detective." An amused smile, tugging one corner of his lips higher. "You expect me to answer ?"

"Just a ` what now ` ?" He seemed to be rather disappointed with the response he gained. Thus, more throwing pebbles at him.

He would consider that as a better reaction, as he expected. And whoopie, Kaito managed to avoid that pebble thrown at him. "Is that a yes or no question ─ or does it require an explanation?"

Childish, indeed. Sometimes. Such rejoinder almost made those dark brows of his lifted, yet he succeeded to show no change on his mien, not in the slightest. "Hmm, why didn't you guess it yourself?"

"Well, so?" He'd like to hearken for Shinichi's further guess.

"How unfortunate." A little shrug, he wasn't really sure what that remark was referring to. "I believe your previous question doesn't need an answer."

"Nothing in particular." A light shrug followed as he allowed interim silence to chime in. "That was just me trying to keep you from falling asleep. A good purpose, isn't it?"

A small laugh would slip from the tip of the tongue, but it could still be restrained. Facial expressions were made to stay the same as before. Wondering ; why would he bother to ask him something like that. "Isn't that obvious?"

"You DID yawn, after all." He rolled his eyes in disbelief. "I'm sorry, but I do prefer the complicated way. Using simple method is common indeed, it's just what ordinary people do. And an information for you, detective," A pause for two seconds. "Your book is upside down."

"Pft─" Kaito would love to laugh at him as he's deeply satisfied, yet he was still capable of minding his manners. In consequence, he made every effort to stifle his giddy laughter. "Alright, alright. I will try to believe what you said."
