Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

“The burgers are delicious!”

Princess An's mouth was full and she narrowed her eyes because of the food, which reminded Kuroba Kaito of her cat.

"It's great for children from ordinary families to be able to eat this kind of food regularly."

Princess An is certainly not like the rich ladies in Japanese TV dramas who would show surprised expressions or even do some incredible things because of the "delicious" junk food.

After all, she had eaten things that were many times better than this burger. Just the steak she usually eats was much more delicious than the minced beef patty in this burger.

She knew very well that what she had in her hand tasted pretty good and was relatively cheap, which was why she, as a princess, was willing to give a compliment. So even if what was placed in front of her was a bucket of instant noodles, if it met these conditions, she would still not be stingy with her compliments.

"Hey, Princess, you've also had hamburgers, so let's go to the store next door!"

Both boys pulled their wallets out of their pockets and ran out of the store before anyone else could answer.

"These two guys!"

Kuroba Kaito looked at the boy who ran away, then looked at Conan helplessly: "Then shall we go and take a look too?"

"That's all we can do."

The group left with McDonald's' farewell, turned left after leaving the store, and walked into the new store, where they noticed Genta and Mitsuhiko lying in front of something that looked like a ramen ticket machine.

"what is this?"

Rize looked at the machine curiously and found that it was mainly divided into three columns, each with the same pattern, namely a white fat bird, a toy-like robot and a girl holding a magic mace.

"This is the Card King's card replenishment machine."

Conan adjusted his glasses and found that the girl still didn't understand, so he simply explained: "It's a derivative game of the Card King animation. It mainly uses cards to fight. This machine will sell cards, and each card pack will have ten cards."

"Because there are no different types of cards in the pack, sometimes children will put all their pocket money into it in order to collect a complete set of cards."

Ai Huibara crossed her arms and gave Rize an example: "For example, because they opened five packs of low-level cards, they accidentally lost all their pocket money for half a month, and they are kneeling in front of the machine and pounding the ground."

"Haibara-san, please hide our names a little more next time."

"Wow... the drop rate of this card pack is really too high. The detective cards we played when we were kids were better than this..."

Kuroba Kaito squatted on the ground and flipped through the cards drawn by the two boys, and felt sympathy for Mitsuhiko and Genta.

"Please stop talking, big brother. Next time...next time we will definitely be able to open a rare card! Right, Yuantai."

Yuan Tai held his stomach and said, "I want to save the money for eel rice next time."

"Yuanta, this is the fifth time you've said this. Give up." Mitsuhiko patted his brother on the shoulder: "Only by facing your own heart can you truly grow up."

"No matter how high-sounding your words are, the drop rate won't increase." Conan groaned, squinting his eyes with a penetrating expression: "You don't think that a certain god just happened to hear what you said, so he used magic to improve your luck?" "Eh..."

"It seems that there was someone in Edogawa's family who thought the same thing before." Huihara Ai covered her mouth and laughed at Conan: "This idea is really..."

"real……"

"How cute! What do you think I want to say?" Huibara snorted and walked to the side.

"Tsk, you actually changed your words." Conan silently turned off the recording on his phone.

"Is this the animation of the card network?"

The screen in the store was playing scenes of character card battles from an anime. Rize and Ayumi both looked up. The girl remembered that she seemed to have seen it on TV before, but she didn't know what it was at the time.

"Yeah, but compared to boys who only care about the combat power of the cards, girls collect cards more because the pictures on the cards are pretty or cute."

Ayumi also drew a pack of cards from the machine. Unlike the Fat Bird card packs that the boys had just drawn, the one she took out had a girl's picture printed on it.

"Oh my god, it's another dandelion ball. This is my twentieth card." Ayumi shook her head regretfully and gave the card to Rize.

“Ah, this character!”

Rize had just put the card into her bag when she heard Ayumi pointing at the TV and yelling. She looked up and saw a girl character in a pink dress, so she asked curiously, "What's wrong with this character?"

"This character is new. In the anime, he's a very powerful card master, and he's defeated as many monsters as the protagonist." Mitsuhiko put his hands on his hips. "In the first 60 episodes, the protagonist was in the Novice Archipelago. Now he's in the Rookie Continent and encountered many powerful card masters and new monsters."

"Most importantly, this character is voiced by Yuzuki-san."

As soon as Haibara finished her words, everyone noticed that Rize, who was originally beside them, had disappeared. Turning back, they saw the girl putting a Fukuzawa Yukichi card into the card drawing machine.

"I saw that the cards used by that character are all human-shaped, right?" Rize put the money into the machine and clapped her hands. "These three columns represent beast-type monsters, machine monsters, and human-type monsters, so I only need to draw the third column."

Holding the thick layer of card packs that she had spit out, the girl walked silently towards the rest area of ​​the store, ready to open the card packs there.

"Did she just... draw a 10,000 yen card?!" Conan blinked: "Is there something wrong with the way this little girl's parents teach her about money?"

Everyone didn't care what Conan said and went to Rize to watch her open the card. Only Kaito and Conan showed no interest.

"Well, anyway, kids like it and their family is relatively wealthy." Kuroba Kaito spread his hands flat, "I remember Yuji was quite generous with his money when he was young. It seems that his family gave him twice as much pocket money as the average child."

"…Maybe our pocket money is about the same as that of other children…"

"Hmm? Where did he get so many...oh~~"
