Shuichi: "Ah, Kyoko. There's something that I've been meaning to ask you..."

Kyoko: "...What is it?"

Shuichi: "You were a detective before you even entered high school, correct?"

Kyoko: "Yes...it's been years since I first entered this line of work."

Shuichi: "It's been that long? I thought I was young to start working as a detective... You're incredible, Kyoko....I feel kinda bad now. An apprentice like me doesn't deserve to share the title of Ultimate Detective with you..."

Kyoko: "But you're here because Hope's Peak Academy recognizes your accomplishments, yes?"

Shuichu: "I...don't know about that. I just solved a case by chance..."

Kyoko: "Be that as it may, you still grabbed hold of the truth and solved the case, didn't you? No one, not even you, can deny that outcome."

Shuichi: "..."

Kyoko: "Others accept that you are a detective, and have also come to rely on you, too. The other day, I saw you running all over the place with Ryoma and Peko...No doubt because they needed your insights as a detective, right?"

Shuichi: "Ah, I was just looking for a missing cat around the academy...I've handled plenty of missing pet cases before, so I was able to help, but..."

Kyoko: "Do you think it's meaningless for people to rely on you?"

Shuichi: "...No, that's wrong. It makes me...so happy to be helpful."

Kyoko: "Then I see no reason for you to compare yourself to me. Every detective is shaped by their motives, methodologies, and case histories. That's why I believe I should always seek out the truth. By adhering to your methodology, you've earned accomplishments as a detective, haven't you?"

Shuichi: "That's true... I'll never forget that, Kyoko. I apologize for having such a negative attitude earlier. Thank you for encouraging me."

Five Years Later After Graduation...
