Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 84 Official Authorization (Please Read)

It wasn't difficult for Tachibana Shizuka to find a way to enter an unfamiliar campus; he either had to be thick-skinned or in good health.

Tachibana Shizuka has it all—he's thick-skinned and incredibly fit. That's why he's currently on the campus of Kyoto Izumi High School.

Ooka Momiji is a celebrity in Kyoto Izumishin High School, basically equivalent to Kudo Shinichi in Teitan High School, or even better.

So it was easy for Tachibana Shizuka to find out the class that Ooka Kouye was in. During the break, Tachibana Shizuka went to the door of Ooka Kouye's class despite receiving many strange looks.

I stopped a girl who was about to go out and asked with a smile, "Can you help me find Ooka Momiji?

Just tell her that I am Hattori Heiji’s friend.”

The originally confused look in the female classmate's eyes at the door was quickly replaced by gossip. She nodded to Tachibana Seiji, turned around and walked back into the classroom.

Ooka Hongye was not difficult to find. The girls in the class spontaneously formed various small circles after class, among which Ooka Hongye's small circle had the largest number of people.

She was also the only center of the small circle. Perhaps this was not Ooka Hongye's original intention, but she was indeed the most dazzling person in the entire class.

At least compared to Sonoko, this one looks more like the eldest daughter of a large family in the conventional sense?
The girl who was just casually grabbed by Tachibana Shizuka walked quickly to Ooka Momiji and whispered.

Then Tachibana Shizuka noticed that Ooka Momiji was looking at him in surprise, and Tachibana Shizuka nodded to Ooka Momiji.

Ooka Momiji, who was sitting as steady as a rock in her seat, thought for a moment, then walked towards Tachibana Seiji with a hint of interest.

"Ooka-san, nice to meet you. My name is Tachibana Shizuka, and I'm from Tokyo.

Can we chat?

"Okay, come with me." Ooka Momiji nodded, then left with Tachibana Shizuka.

Shizuka Tachibana followed Ooka Momiji under the gazes of even more people than when he first arrived, all the way to the door of an empty classroom. Ooka Momiji stopped and looked at Shizuka Tachibana.

Tachibana Shizuka understood, walked forward, opened the door of the empty classroom, and walked in. After looking around and finding nothing wrong, Tachibana Shizuka stood in the doorway and said to Ooka Momiji:
"Okay, please come in, Ooka-san."

Ooka Momiji nodded to Tachibana Seiji with satisfaction, and her eyes revealed the two words "on the right track".

After casually closing the classroom door, Tachibana Shizuka came across from Ooka Hongye and accepted her scrutiny. Neither of them had any intention of sitting down, and Ooka Hongye spoke first:
"You said you were Heiji's friend? As far as I know, Heiji doesn't seem to have many friends in Tokyo."

Tachibana Shizuka could hear the obvious contempt in Ooka Momiji's voice when she mentioned Tokyo. It turned out that regional discrimination was everywhere.

But Tachibana Shizuka didn't care, because he wasn't a proper Tokyoite. Besides, Tokyo with Conan around wasn't really a good place.

"We've known each other for about a month or two? That's quite recent. Perhaps you haven't had time to understand this part yet?"

"Then what brings you to me?"

Tachibana Shizuka really likes Ooka Momiji's straightforward attitude. We are all minors, so there is really no need to act like a riddle teller and say confusing things.

"I'm here to make a deal. I need a license and a handgun that I can legally carry.

As a trade, I can provide you with a few opportunities to spend time with Hattori Heiji."

Seeing Ooka Momiji wanting to instinctively refute, Tachibana Shizuka added, "You should know that everyone has different starting points.

I believe that Ooka is fully capable of creating an opportunity to meet Hattori by chance, but a stranger you meet by chance can hardly compare to a childhood sweetheart who grew up together.

Even if we meet by chance more times, we can only be considered strangers who are slightly familiar with each other, right? "

Ooka Koha understood what Shizuka Tachibana meant. Shizuka Tachibana meant that he had a way to make Ooka Koha get along with Hattori Heiji as a new friend.

No matter how new this friend is, it is much better than a stranger or a familiar stranger. Putting it in the game will help Ooka Hongye save a lot of progress in the strategy.

Ooka Momiji never bothered to consider what Tachibana Shizuka wanted, because she knew that getting Tachibana Shizuka a gun license and a gun was a small matter for the Ooka family, and it wouldn't even matter. However, this didn't stop Ooka Momiji from having a bad impression of Tachibana Shizuka, because in a sense, Tachibana Shizuka's actions could be considered a "scheming" against Hattori Heiji.

Ooka Momiji even considered that after she and Hattori Heiji were together, she must keep Heiji away from the "villain" Tachibana Shizuka.

That’s right, the women of the Ooka family are so “far-sighted”!
Although Ooka Momiji was dissatisfied with Tachibana Shizuka, she did not show it at all, and even wanted to bargain with Tachibana Shizuka.

"So before you start dating Heiji, will you always provide us with opportunities to date and assist me at any time?"

"What are you thinking about, Ooka-san? I can only offer you one chance to go out with Hattori, and it's not just the two of you.

As for assists, I won't play. It's up to Hattori himself to decide what kind of person he wants to live with in the future. At most, I can provide him with a possibility.

You have to understand that I'm just a high school student, not some all-inclusive matchmaker."

Tachibana Shizuka was well aware of the principle of "asking for a high price and paying a low price", so he cut the aorta without hesitation.

Ooka Momiji was so angry at Tachibana Shizuka's shamelessness that she laughed: "Are you kidding me? Do you know how difficult it is to get what you want? You are probably still a minor. It's not that easy to get a legal gun license!

Not to mention that you want a gun license for a handgun.

At least ten times."

"Ooka-san, you seem to have misunderstood. While I need a gun license, I don't necessarily need you to take care of it.

I'm just trying my luck today. If things don't work out, I can always ask Sonoko for help. By the way, Sonoko's last name is Suzuki.

So, twice.”

Tachibana Shizuka briefly reminded Ooka Momiji that she wasn't that indispensable. The Ooka family's status in Kyoto was roughly the same as the Suzuki family's in Tokyo. It was just that their respective families focused on different areas of development.

The Suzuki family is more inclined towards commercial capital, while the Ooka family is more inclined towards politics.

Ooka Momiji didn't think that Tachibana Shizuka was lying to her. With the connections of the Ooka family, it would be easy for her to investigate whether Tachibana Shizuka knew Suzuki Sonoko.

"So, you don't want to get into trouble and get your friends into trouble? But then why did you come to me and betray Heiji?

5 times, that’s the limit.”

"How do you know I didn't greet Hattori before coming here? So, Ooka-san, I have the conditions for the official authorization of Hattori Heiji.

So, my limit is three times, and I won’t accept counter-offers.”

Tachibana Shizuka was already prepared for failure - Hattori was so loyal, he couldn't let him make things too difficult.

It's only three gatherings. Maybe if we encounter a few murders, time will pass quickly. If Ooka Momiji doesn't want to, then we can just ask Sonoko for help.

At this moment, the surprise in Ooka Momiji's eyes was almost overflowing. She really didn't expect that Tachibana Seiji had informed Hattori Heiji before coming.

Are the games you people in Tokyo and Osaka play all this abstractly? Is this thing even officially licensed?
But Ooka Hongye was well aware of the benefits of genuine products, so she agreed without hesitation: "Deal! But I have one last question."

"Excuse me."

"You're a high school student, why are you so obsessed with guns?"

Tachibana Shizuka's face was filled with an indescribable expression, and he finally said to Ooka Momiji, "Go get someone to check me out. My case should be easy to investigate.

You’ll know why after you check it out.”
