I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 38 Low Danger Assessment? Did the Murderer use tofu to commit the crime?
This special effects fan meeting was held in the basement of a villa.

Judging by its specifications, it seems to be similar to the villa of the Changmen Group that Chen En visited before. However, the specifications of the villa are not the most eye-catching feature. What is eye-catching is the large number of tokusatsu enthusiasts who enter the villa.

Most of these enthusiasts are dressed in the uniforms of the villainous organization from Kamen Rider.

Chen En could say that even if he threw a stone, he could hit four or five of the Shocker's soldiers.

If he didn't know that there's only Batman in the real world and no Kamen Rider, he would have thought he had traveled into the Kamen Rider universe and was about to be captured and transformed into a new model of Kamen Rider.

"Wow, it's the leader of the Shocker organization from Kamen Rider! He's so cool!"

The members of the Junior Detective Club cheered and crowded forward, forgetting all about dinner.

I heard the children cheering.

The several leaders, dressed completely differently and from different dramas, pointed at each other, visibly bewildered, not knowing which one the children were referring to.

Unlike Batman comics, the main villains in Kamen Rider are often one-off characters.

However, due to ratings considerations, they have to keep bringing back villains and rehashing old material. The leader of the Shocker organization is a case in point; it's the same person, but he always appears in a different suit.

Compared to American comic book heroes who have worn the same outfit countless times, it gives people a rather subtle feeling.

Standing by the stair railing in the basement, Chen En glanced at the various poses of the many tokusatsu enthusiasts in the basement, then turned his gaze back to his system screen.

[A serious incident threatening Gotham City's safety has been detected nearby!]

As Batman, you have a duty to maintain order in Gotham City. Please arrive at the scene immediately and apprehend the criminal before they flee, or stop them from committing further crimes during their commission!

[Difficulty level assessed as low; completing this task will reward you with 20 points!]

I understand the logic, but why is the task difficulty so low?

A hint of doubt appeared in Chen En's eyes.

Based on the system's usual practice, it seems that as long as the murderer has the potential to kill multiple people, the task difficulty will be considered medium.

For example, there's the armed bank robber, Toru Saeki, and the man, Yuki Hyuga, who at the last moment pulls out gasoline to set things on fire.

What's with the low difficulty level this time?

Does the system determine that there is no possibility of killing other people?
How did the murderer do it? Did he use tofu to commit the crime?
"...This is the famous detective Kogoro Mouri. I am his idol."

The voice of Kamen Rider, who had been pushing the locust motorcycle, came from earlier.

Chen En turned his gaze back to the direction from which Kamen Rider's voice came, and saw Kamen Rider leading a rather pretty girl over.

Kogoro Mouri blushed inexplicably after seeing the girl.

—Well, is it really appropriate to do this in front of your own daughter?
"Mr. Kogoro Mouri, this is the president of our tokusatsu fan club, Madoka Saotome."

"The main venue for this tokusatsu fan meeting was chosen by the president. Without her, it would have been really difficult to find such a suitable place to hold the tokusatsu fan meeting."

Kamen Rider said with a smile.

Kogoro Mouri still doesn't realize that the Kamen Rider has been saying "I am his idol" instead of "He is my idol," completely captivated by his good looks.

He said with an awkward laugh,

"Oh, not at all. Is this Ms. Saotome also a university student?"

Unlike the other enthusiasts at the tokusatsu fan meeting, Saotome Muroka was simply wearing a fairly common evening gown. She smiled and greeted Kogoro Mouri, introducing herself.

"Yes, I am Saotome Muka, a student in the Faculty of Letters at Shirakaba Women's University."

"Detective Mori, I've heard so much about you!"

After greeting Kogoro Mouri, the female window maker Hua Gang turned to look at Chen En, who had come in with Kogoro Mouri.

Unlike other primary school students, Chen En, as an adult, still needed special treatment.

Then, Saotome Momoka looked at the Kamen Rider next to her, and the Kamen Rider immediately introduced her.
"This is Mr. Batman, who came with Detective Mori!"

Saotome Musaka nodded slightly and said subconsciously,

"Mr. Batman, I've heard so much about you, I never expected to see you here..."

She had only finished half of her polite remarks when she suddenly stopped, as if a program had encountered an error.

Even her smile was starting to falter.

Saotome Muka: ? Hmm? Batman? Are you sure that's a person's name?

Where in the real world does Batman come from? Are you deliberately making fun of me?
Saotome Muka gave the Kamen Rider next to her a sharp look.

She then asked seriously,

"Excuse me, sir, who are you?"

Chen En answered subconsciously.
"I'm batman!"

Saotome Muka: ?

Batman has descended upon me?

------

After a brief explanation, the atmosphere became lively again, and the actor who played Kamen Rider finally introduced himself and gave his name.

"My name is Tsui Yasuyuki, a law student at Seongnam University."

"Originally, Kamen Rider was to be played by someone else, but for some reason, he changed his mind and went on to play the supporting role of Patlabor, so I ended up playing Kamen Rider."

Tsutsumi Yasuyuki took off the Kamen Rider helmet, pointed at himself with his thumb, and said with a grin,
"But that's fine too, I am Super Kamen Rider!"

However, his words made Conan's eyes narrow.

The cosplayer I met at Beika Shrine was dressed as a Patlabor character from Kamen Rider.

Could it be that……

Will that mobile police officer arrive soon as well?

If that's the case, then we really need to pay close attention to the situation of that mobile police officer later.

Especially that sidearm that he wouldn't let anyone else touch.

Conan had some doubts about whether the gun was real.

After all, it is well known that gun control is practically non-existent in Beika Town.

Criminals without a handgun can't survive in Beika Town. It's hard to say whether this person got a real gun as a cosplay prop, just to use it for a massacre at a tokusatsu fan meeting.

"Chen En, what do you think?"

Conan stroked his chin and asked Chen En, who was standing next to him.

As Robin, he still felt that Batman was the most trustworthy person here, as for the Detective Boys?
Instead of believing they can help, he'd rather hope Professor Agasa will suddenly appear and join the team fight.

"What are you saying? Humagears have dreams too!"

"There's no need to feel ashamed of having been Akilena; rather, feel proud!"

"Hate the sin, not the person! Believe it, belief needs no reason!"

Conan:?
He turned his head to look at Chen En, who was talking to someone else.

For a moment, he felt a sense of loneliness.

Fortunately, Chen En soon joined him in his loneliness.

The other tokusatsu enthusiasts sighed and walked away, talking about things like, "What will our Kamen Rider become if things continue like this?" and "At this rate, it seems like blowing up Toei Animation would be a faster way to bring them down."

"what did you just say?"

Chen En watched with some regret as those Showa Rider fans who couldn't accept the Reiwa Rider concept left.

I casually asked Conan, who was sitting next to me,

"These criminals are very dangerous, aren't they?"

"But I feel that it's less dangerous to other people than the robbers at Dongdu Bank last time."

It's impossible for the system to be just messing with him for no reason, right?

It's not like the clown developed the system, why bother messing with him?
