Savior of the everyday world of crossover anime

Two Imperial Arms have been collected, the progress of the quest "[Imperial Arms Collection]" has increased by 2, and 10% general role-playing points have been gained.

Takahashi Yu did not use this 10% general role-playing ability immediately, but saved it.

After a period of time, about a month has passed since the last time the time travel function was activated, and the time for the next time travel count to be refreshed is about to end.

The exact time will be around midnight tonight.

At that time, Takahashi Yu will be connected to a new world again and will receive a new random role-playing card.

Let's save the general role-playing points for now, and decide how to use them later after we see what the new role-playing cards are like.

Ding ding dong dong ding ding dong dong dong dong~~

A phone rang suddenly. Takahashi Yu picked up his phone and looked at the number, discovering it was a call from the conglomerate.

"Hello, this is Takahashi Yu. What's up?"

"Young Master Takahashi, something terrible has happened! An auction organized tonight by our Takahashi Group's auction house has been targeted!"

A panicked voice came from the other end of the phone. After hearing what the other person said, Takahashi Yu frowned.

"Tell me in detail what exactly happened."

And so, through the description given by the conglomerate staff on the other end of the phone, Takahashi Yu figured out exactly what had happened.

Tonight, a grand modern auction will be held at a major auction house under the Takahashi Group in Tokyo, the neon capital city where Takahashi Yu is located. The highlight of the auction is the largest sapphire in Japan in nearly twenty years, produced by a jewelry company affiliated with the Takahashi Group.

Originally, thanks to the publicity and marketing of this auction, the jewelry company and many of the companies affiliated with the Takahashi Group were expected to see a surge in their stock prices. However, the problem is that the Takahashi Group, which organized the auction at this critical juncture, had recently received a notice from the famous Phantom Thief Kid.

Kaito Kid has never failed in his crimes since his debut, whether it was against a large corporation or a conglomerate. His unique methods of committing crimes have even earned him a large following and many fans.

The target of the notice sent by Phantom Thief Kid is the sapphire that will be auctioned as the grand finale item at tonight's auction.

Chapter 26: Comparison is the thief of joy; comparing goods will only lead to their destruction.

Takahashi Yu understood why the person from the conglomerate on the other end of the phone sounded flustered. After all, Suzuki Conglomerate wasn't the only major conglomerate in this world that had been robbed. Well-known conglomerates like Shinomiya, Shichijo, and Sanzenin had all been robbed to some extent. Therefore, in this world, Kaito Kid's fame was much greater than in the Conan world.

At the same time, Takahashi Yu also knows the identity of Phantom Thief Kid, whose real name is Kuroba Kaito. He is a popular supporting character in Detective Conan, the second generation Phantom Thief Kid. The first generation Phantom Thief Kid is his father. He is a student in Class B of the second year of Ekoda High School. When he first traveled to this world, Takahashi Yu paid attention to him. After all, he is a talented person. In Phantom Thief Kid's solo TV series Magic Kaito, even the witch Koizumi Akako and magic appeared.

However, considering that this is a slice-of-life anime crossover world, and that the worldviews of Magic Kaito and Detective Conan are different, the Kuroba Kaito in this world should be based on the worldview of Detective Conan, and there should be no magic or Pandora's Stone as in Magic Kaito. This is a guess made by Takahashi Yu after he sent people to investigate Kuroba Kaito's interpersonal relationships.

Since it's just a simple Detective Conan universe setting with Kaito Kuroba, the problem is easily solved. Takahashi Yu ordered his auction house to continue as scheduled and stated that he would personally attend.

In the evening, in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, a bustling district known as one of the "24-hour sleepless streets" of neon lights, along with Shinjuku Ward, a large auction house located in the center of the city was bustling with guests. Some stood together chatting, while others sat in corners waiting for the auction to begin.

Some of the people here are there to attend the auction, while others are simply there to watch the spectacle.

After all, many well-informed bigwigs attending the auction knew that not long ago, the Takahashi Foundation, the organizer, received a notice from Kaito Kid, and the notice stated that the target was the sapphire, which was to be the final item in the auction.

Acquired from its place of origin, Sri Lanka, and then airlifted to its headquarters in Japan for polishing and processing, this sapphire is the largest produced in Japan in the past two decades. It is not surprising that such an auction item has attracted attention, after all, everyone knows that Phantom Thief Kid has a penchant for gemstones.

However, even if most of the treasures stolen by Phantom Thief Kid are eventually returned or discarded, if the final item of an auction is stolen and the auction cannot proceed, the Takahashi Group will likely become a laughing stock for some time to come.

The vast majority of the guests present were gloating and hoped that Kaito Kid would succeed in stealing the items so that he could damage the interests of the Takahashi Group's companies and profit from it.

Meanwhile, in the VIP reception room of the auction, Takahashi Yu was receiving several distinguished guests.

They were all bosses or CEOs from top conglomerates and companies in Japan, and they were not on the same level as the people outside who came to participate in the auction.

Among these people, the most eye-catching is naturally Shinomiya Kan'an, the head of the Shinomiya Group and the head of the Shinomiya family, who sits at the head of the guest seats.

"I had long heard that the young master of the Takahashi Group was exceptionally intelligent, and seeing him today, I can confirm it is indeed remarkable. At such a young age, he has become the helmsman of the Takahashi Group and manages it so well. Mr. Takahashi is truly a young man of great promise."

As the head of the Shinomiya family, the head of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, and the only top Zaibatsu present at this auction, Shinomiya Gan'an undoubtedly held the highest position among those present. Therefore, when he spoke, those around him echoed his sentiments to varying degrees.

"Commander-in-Chief Shinomiya is joking. I am just managing the family business. How can I be considered a young prodigy?"

Takahashi Yu spoke with a smile.

Most of the people present were in their fifties or sixties, and even the younger ones were over forty. Therefore, Takahashi Yu, who was only a teenager, stood out from the crowd, but no one looked down on him because of his young age.

Because they all know that to manage a top-tier conglomerate well, intelligence alone is not enough; one must possess exceptional skills and abilities, especially since Takahashi Yu is so young, the requirements are even higher.

The fact that no chaos has occurred since the other party took over the Takahashi Group suggests that this young man has probably truly taken control of the entire group, something that some of the people present might not even be able to achieve.

This shows that Takahashi Yu's abilities are definitely not as simple as they appear at his age.

"Haha, maybe."

Upon hearing Takahashi Yu's reply, Shinomiya Gan'an smiled indifferently.

"I've heard that the Phantom Thief Kid has his eye on this auction. His thieving methods are extremely sophisticated, so I hope Mr. Takahashi will be careful."

As mentioned before, Kaito Kid is much more famous in this world than in the Conan world, because Suzuki is not the only famous conglomerate in this world. The Shinomiya Zaibatsu, led by Shinomiya Kan'an, has also suffered at Kaito Kid's hands, and therefore knows his abilities.

To be honest, Shinomiya Gan'an was not optimistic about this auction, because even with the highest level of security measures, the Shinomiya family was still robbed by Kaito Kid.

Even the Shinomiya family couldn't do it, let alone Takahashi Yu? Right now, Shinomiya Gan'an seems to be kindly reminding him, but he's just trying to do her a favor.

"Commander-in-Chief Shinomiya, rest assured, tonight's auction will proceed smoothly. I believe that with Kaito Kid's abilities, he is not capable of taking the auction items out of the auction venue."

In response to Shinomiya Gan'an's reminder, Takahashi Yu replied calmly.

"In that case, let us look forward to the auction items tonight."

After chatting for a while longer, the VIPs, including Shinomiya Yan'an, began to say their goodbyes, leaving the VIP reception room and returning to their respective private rooms.

"By the way, I heard that my daughter Kaguya is also a student at Shuchi Academy and a member of the student council, just like Mr. Takahashi. I would like to thank Mr. Takahashi for taking care of my daughter."

Before leaving, Shinomiya Gan'an said to Takahashi Yu.

"Not at all, we're both students in the student council. If I'm able, it's just a small favor, and I'll naturally help out."

Upon hearing this, Shinomiya Yan'an nodded.

Back in the private room, Shinomiya Kōkō and Shinomiya Un'yō, who had accompanied Shinomiya Gān'an to the auction, immediately stood up upon seeing Shinomiya Gān'an enter.

Facing the stoic and unflappable Commander-in-Chief of the Shinomiya Group, who was also their father, Shinomiya Huangguang and Shinomiya Yunying, as heirs to the Shinomiya Group, dared not disobey in the slightest.

If Kaguya Shinomiya, as the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, was afraid of Karen Shinomiya, then the attitude of Hikari Shinomiya and Un'taka Shinomiya, whose status was far higher than Kaguya's, towards Karen Shinomiya was one of even deeper fear.

As long as Shigu Yan'an's gaze sharpened even slightly, Shigu Huangguang and Shigu Yunying dared not even breathe loudly; this majesty was almost deeply ingrained in their bones.

Looking at her two sons, Shinomiya Gan'an shook her head.

Previously, although her two sons were mediocre, they were still quite decent. However, after meeting Takahashi Yu tonight, she compared their abilities.

It just goes to show, comparing people is a recipe for disaster, comparing goods is a recipe for disaster.

Chapter 27: The Second Bomb - The Withered Heart-Piercing Attack

Sitting in the center of the private room, and allowing her two good-for-nothing sons to sit down, Shinomiya Gan'an looked down at the auction hall through the one-way glass of the room.

Although I had kindly reminded Takahashi Yu in the reception room earlier, there is no sentimentality between conglomerates. If the Takahashi Conglomerate's reputation is damaged because of the stolen auction items at tonight's auction, then the Shinomiya Conglomerate will definitely be the first to step forward and seize the opportunity to take advantage of the Takahashi Conglomerate's interests.

If tonight's auction proceeds smoothly, then nothing will happen. In fact, if the auction can still be held despite the threat from Kaito Kid, the Takahashi Foundation's reputation will not only not be damaged, but will actually rise.

By then, the Shinomiya Group would no longer be concerned with how to seize the interests of the Takahashi Group, but rather with how to conduct business collaborations.

It can be said that the outcome of tonight's auction will determine how many people view the future of the Takahashi Group.

Half an hour later, the auction began on time.

One auction item after another was brought to the stage, and although the crowd wasn't very interested, the auction proceeded in an orderly manner.

Soon, an hour and a half had passed, and the sapphire, the grand finale of the auction, was finally brought out.

Hundreds of carats of sapphires were displayed in crystal cases, radiating dazzling brilliance under the lights.

Just then, a smoke bomb exploded, and a thick cloud of smoke instantly enveloped the entire exhibition hall. At the same time, the entire auction hall seemed to be plunged into a brief darkness due to a power outage, and a flurry of panicked noises erupted from the crowd of elites inside.

But soon, the power was restored, and the lights illuminated the entire venue again.

However, the sapphire that had been placed on the display stand in the crystal showcase had vanished.

As everyone looked up, they saw a young thief dressed in a white suit and cape above the booth, holding a gem that had been stolen sometime earlier. He smiled slightly at the guests below, then leaped away and disappeared from their sight.

However, what he didn't know was that his escape route was clearly seen by Takahashi Yu, who was sitting in a secluded private room.

"Go and bring that person back to me, but try not to kill him."

All that could be heard was Takahashi Yu speaking.

Beside Takahashi Yu, the figure of Kira Yoshikage appeared and nodded upon hearing this.

"As ordered."

With a blank expression, Kira Yoshikage glanced in the direction his target had fled, then turned and left the private room.

......

Inside the auction hall, Kaito Kid, or rather, Kaito Kuroba, moved forward through the spacious corridors, using magic dolls to attract attention and cleverly evading the guards who rushed to the scene.

His destination was clear. All the conventional exits in the auction venue were now blocked, and breaking through would be risky. However, there was one place where he could escape: the top of the building. With the help of a specially modified glider under his cloak, he could easily escape the pursuit.

However, on his way forward, Kaito Kuroba stepped on an inconspicuous tile, and the next second...

boom!

A silent explosion, inaudible to most, rang out, and indescribable pain instantly surged from all parts of his body. Kaito Kuroba's eyes widened, and his running body collapsed to the ground as if out of control.

It hurts, it hurts a lot, it hurts terribly...

Every part of his body was being torn apart as if by a bomb, yet no wounds could be found with the naked eye.

Kaito Kuroba lay on the ground, panting heavily, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Was it a miniature bomb, or some unknown attack? But why can't I see it, and why is there nothing unusual about it?

Suddenly, footsteps came from ahead, and Kaito Kuroba immediately looked up.

At the end of the corridor, he saw a blond man in a light blue suit slowly walking towards him and stopping a short distance away.

"Was that attack just now... your doing?"

Looking at the blond man's calm expression, Kaito Kuroba knew that the man was definitely not just passing by by chance, and that everything that had just happened was probably premeditated.

However, Yoshikage Kira, who was standing not far from him, did not offer any explanation. He simply said, "I have planted quite a few bombs in this auction house. You cannot escape from here. Give up the fight."

"Is that so? But unfortunately, the phantom thief won't just surrender."

Although the clone meant well, Kaito Kuroba, who had straightened up, clearly didn't intend to believe it. He pulled out a magic prop gun from his person, aimed it at Yoshikage Kira's feet, and pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, thick smoke burst open again. Using the smoke as cover, Kaito Kuroba used the special rollers on his shoes to slide along the wall behind Yoshikage Kira and sped away at high speed.
