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

Chapter 495 Sera Masumi: ?
8 PM, Haneda Airport.

Sera Masumi brought her own mother with her.

Mary Akai, who now looks like her sister, stepped off the plane.

This time, their reason for coming to Tokyo was very simple.

Mary Akai was forced to take a mysterious drug that caused her to revert to her childhood. She searched everywhere for a way to turn back, but none of them worked. If she hadn't seen Conan's live broadcast on the news, she would have been devastated.

She may have already given up on changing herself back to her original appearance.

Anyway, she'll just do the same MI6 missions as before, there's no difference.

At most, he would ask his daughter, Sera Masumi, to make a trip for him and carry out the task on his behalf. She would call her colleagues to make contact. Although it would be a bit troublesome, it wouldn't mean that he couldn't complete the mission at all.

"Hopefully, we can find a way to change back this time."

"Mari Akai said in a low voice."

Sera Masumi, who was standing nearby, heard Akai Mary's words and said with a smile,

"Of course."

"As long as you do it seriously, there's nothing you can't accomplish."

"Since we're going to get close to Shinichi Kudo this time, why don't I just transfer to Teitan High School, be in the same class as Shinichi Kudo, and then get in touch with Shinichi Kudo's acquaintances, slowly get closer to Shinichi Kudo, and then I can find out his secrets, right?"

She had done her research beforehand and found that Shinichi Kudo had actually shown his face once during his long period of disappearance.

That was the diplomat murder case, in which he teamed up with the famous detective Hattori Heiji from Kansai to solve the case, if the true identity of Edogawa Conan recognized by his mother was indeed Kudo Shinichi.

Then Shinichi Kudo should have mastered the method of changing size at will.

"However, I think this mission should be easy to complete, right?"

"We might even run into Brother Xiu in Tokyo. After all, Brother Xiu said he's been investigating that organization recently and might come to Tokyo."

As she spoke, Sera Masumi casually grabbed a Tokyo city guidebook from the notice board next to her.

She spread out her hand, tilted her head to examine the contents, and prepared to find a hotel to stay in first, and then take care of the transfer to another school. She would take it slowly and proceed step by step.

Mary Akai, who was standing next to her, didn't seem to have any opinion on this.

She had always opposed her son Shuichi Akai joining the FBI, after all, she was an MI6 agent, and it would be disgraceful for her to have a son who joined the FBI.

However, since Shuichi Akai stated that he joined the FBI to investigate Tsutomu Akai, she reluctantly agreed.

However, this does not mean that Mary Akai would have a good impression of Shuichi Akai, who is an FBI agent. If she were to run into Shuichi Akai, she would most likely call on Masumi Sera to beat him up.

"I had heard before that there are many fun places in Tokyo."

"After all, the Tokyo metropolitan area, centered on Tokyo, is the world's largest metropolitan area. It should be quite developed in all aspects. In addition, this is a country with gun restrictions, so the public security should be very good, right?"

Sera Masumi's voice was relatively relaxed.

It was as if her experience of flying to Tokyo had not diminished her vitality and energy at all, until she took Akai Mary into a taxi to the planned Beika Town Hotel, when a very ominous sound came from the car radio.

The famous Batman has saved Tokyo once again!

Following his previous rescue of 56,000 people from a bomb threat at the Tokyo National Stadium, Batman has once again saved over 3,000 innocent civilians from imminent death!

Sera Masumi and Akai Mary: ? W-what?
Batman? Saved 56,000 people? More than 3,000 innocent civilians?
Is this still Japan? It's probably some kind of Japanese Batman-style tokusatsu, like a Japanese Spider-Man. This probably isn't something that actually happened, but just in case, I'll ask...

Sera Masumi asked softly,

"Excuse me, driver, what kind of entertainment radio station are you listening to right now?"

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror, his face darkening slightly, and replied,
"This is the official radio station of Tokyo."

"Today, the Steel Society even hijacked Nichiuri TV and broadcast a live challenge against Batman throughout the city. Do you really think the miserable lives of Tokyo citizens sound entertaining?"

Sera Masumi:?
Seriously? There really is a Batman?

Moreover, is life in Tokyo really that miserable?
Why does Batman exist in the real world? And why are there so many high-profile terrorists in a cosmopolitan city like Tokyo? This is even more chaotic than the situation in Japan's own father, the United States!

Not only Sera Masumi, but even Akai Mary was stunned.

They never imagined that Tokyo would change like this without them even realizing it.

It wasn't this outrageous when I came to Tokyo before.

Thinking of this, Sera Masumi asked again in a low voice,

"Driver, what about Beika Town?"

"I transferred to Teitan High School in Beika Town. Could you tell me how safe Beika Town is?"

driver:?
Upon hearing this, the driver was filled with respect and replied,
"You don't know? The Steel Society started causing trouble in Beika Town."

“That’s the most important district in the entire Tokyo metropolitan area. There are 96 crematoriums operating around the clock in one town, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s police cars are on call from morning till night.”

"You're actually going to high school in Beika Town? Beika Town is too dangerous. I suggest you transfer to Ekoda High School next door."

Sera Masumi:?
Is Beika Town really that dangerous?
Sera Masumi hesitated for a moment, then asked,
Why did you recommend that I transfer to Ekoda High School?

At this point, the driver answered matter-of-factly.

"Of course, because Kaito Kid, who is like a dove of peace, often appears in the Ekoda area. On the day Kaito Kid appears, no one will die, so the Ekoda area is the safest area in the entire Tokyo city."

—This sounds like some kind of supernatural tale.

Sera Masumi and Akai Mary exchanged a glance.

They felt that the water in Tokyo might be a little bit deep.

It seems I need to be a little more careful in the future.

The taxi quickly stopped outside the target hotel.

After paying the fare, Sera Masumi politely got out of the car and said goodbye to the driver.

She turned to look at the hotel in front of her, and before she could lead Akai Mary inside, several police cars with flashing lights sped past them from behind, clearly chasing after a fugitive.

Upon seeing this, Sera Masumi fell silent.

How about we observe the situation in Tokyo for a few days first, and then go to Teitan High School to see what's going on?
