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

Chapter 715 The Second Experience Without Recalling

Paul and Anne's Animal Show.

The large-scale animal show, which tours around the world, is very popular in various countries, and the white lion pendant is the most eye-catching item.

Because this pendant has considerable commemorative value... not because the pendant is particularly well-made.

Rather, the pendant's strap will be specially marked with the time, show, and location, which can be considered one of the hallmarks of a loyal animal show fan.

"It was originally only supposed to record locations."

"For example, it might be labeled as being in Tokyo, or in Japan, but when someone points out that it's not specific enough..."

"That very wealthy gentleman changed his mind."

"He then labeled all the animal pendants with the event, time, and location, determined to go all the way if he was going to make them commemorative."

Ai Haibara is holding two white lion pendants in her hands.

He spoke eloquently about the story of the animal sniffing the white lion pendant.

Just hearing this, Chen En could understand that Ai Haibara must have done a lot of research before coming here last night.

However, after doing all the research last night, you didn't even tell Conan if there was an animal show today.

Was it simply forgotten, or was it done on purpose?

Chen En leaned towards the latter.

After all, this isn't the first time these two have sabotaged each other; this is just another insignificant instance of their long history of mutual sabotage.

"I plan to get one for Ayumi too."

"This is a symbol of friendship between girls... so I won't buy one for you too. You'd better buy one yourself."

Ai Haibara added a sentence.

Chen En: ?
What? I'm involved too?
Could it be that when I was talking to Conan yesterday, Ai Haibara felt that I had a hidden meaning?

Actually, he didn't intentionally allude to Ai Haibara's parents' death; it was purely a coincidence, since he was trying to persuade Conan.

This is the most headstrong kid in the world of science fiction.

Conventional persuasion methods are completely ineffective. If you really want to persuade him to give up, the only way is to involve his parents.

Ran Mouri is also an option.

However, he didn't think of it at the time and just said Conan's closest relatives were his parents. Now that he thinks about it, he could have used a different phrase.

Maybe that way he'd receive a white lion pendant? Although he didn't really care about that…

"You reminded me."

Thinking of this, Chen En said.

He turned and went back into the side shop, then came out with two white lion pendants in his hand, putting them into his pocket.

Haibara Ai:?
I brought two, so you can't hurt me, even if you bring one for Conan.

But did he really go and buy the pendant himself?
Ai Haibara put the pendant back into her pocket, her gaze shifting slightly as she felt a little guilty, and whispered something.

"If there are any other activities."

"Next time I'll remember to bring you and Conan a souvenir each... Are you going to give the pendant to Conan later?"

Chen En: ?
What are you saying, you idiot?

When did I say I bought my pendant for Conan? You can't just say things like that...

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

If Conan heard this and then discovered that the pendant wasn't bought for him, he might just unleash his long-lost Spinosaurus form and breathe out some gas.

Although this little thing shouldn't be enough to break Conan's spirits...

You're overthinking it.

"If Conan wants to buy souvenirs, let him buy them himself. I bought these for Sonoko."

Chen En took a sip of coffee and said.

Although Sonoko and Uncle Suzuki had something to do today and couldn't come over to play together, it's okay... since the pendant has sentimental value.

Then he should bring one for Sonoko too.

In this way, even though Sonoko didn't go to the circus area to watch the animal show, she could still feel a sense of participation...

Probably, he doesn't know much about this.

Haibara Ai:?
Didn't you always say that Conan was your youngest and best Robin? Why didn't you even give Conan a pendant to wear?
Ai Haibara's gaze was somewhat rude. Was she really being worthy of Chen En?

My emotional intelligence definitely needs improvement...

"Ai, Batman, over here! We've been waiting for you!"

Genta's voice rang out in the circus grounds.

This statement came out.

Originally, I was in a hurry to see the pandas, but many ordinary Japanese citizens turned around to look at the even rarer bats.

Then their gaze fell on Chen En, lingering on his casual clothes and the coffee cup in his hand.

They gave up watching.

Batman? There isn't one!
They only saw a pathetic, mentally unstable working man who needed to bring a coffee cup to stay awake at an animal show.

It's really touching.

If this worker also brought documents with him, even the most seasoned document collectors would have to give him a thumbs up...

The dog looks terrible!
"...I always feel like they think you're mentally ill. Is it just my imagination?"

Ai Haibara glanced at everyone's eyes.

Then, with a hint of pleasure, he spoke softly, unleashing his innate and powerful attack.

However, they failed to break through Chen En's defenses.

As the supreme little bat.

Chen En naturally has his own set of flexible moral principles and an unbreakable psychological defense.

In 99% of cases, his mental defenses would not be breached; since his transmigration, they have only been breached twice.

One instance was Miyano Akemi's rescue plan, which was completely disrupted by Akai Shuichi's interference.

The other time was in Hakodate City...

His eyes narrowed slightly.

He had no intention of recalling the second incident, even though it wasn't a pleasant experience for him to remember.

Even the memory palace technique allows him to recall anything he has ever remembered.

He temporarily placed that memory at the bottom of the bookshelf, waiting for someday in the future...

"Really? That's so slow."

Conan put his hands into his pockets.

He raised his head, his eyes lifeless, and stared at Ai Haibara and Chen En before speaking again.

"You're too slow."

"The performance is about to start. Didn't Sister Sera and Brother Hondou come with you?"

Although from the moment Chen En and Ai Haibara arrived, Sera Masumi and Chen En were not with them.

Conan knew that he had finally shaken off the two of them for the time being.

But just to be on the safe side, he still had to ask one more question.

"They both have something to do and can't come."

Chen En said calmly.

Meanwhile, Ai Haibara took out a white lion pendant from her pocket and handed it to Ayumi in a soft voice.

“Ayumi, this is a souvenir I bought.”

"Here's one for you. It's a souvenir that you can only buy during the performance."

Ayumi accepted it with some surprise and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Ai!"

Souvenirs...

Conan stroked his chin.

His gaze gradually drifted to Chen En. Upon seeing this, Chen En paused for a moment, and then spoke righteously.

"No."

Conan:?
