Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

"Conan, Hoshino-kun, what brings you here? Wait, Conan, what's wrong?"

When Ran saw Hoshino Hikaru and the other person, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and then showed a look of doubt, as if she hadn't been the one who secretly sent the message to them.

However, she immediately noticed Conan's slightly flushed face, and instantly became much more nervous. She strode forward and asked with concern, her expression full of care.

"Conan has a bit of a cold and keeps asking to see Ran-neechan, so I had to carry him here. Ran, could you please look after Conan for me?"

As Hoshino Hikaru spoke, he handed Conan to Ran, giving them a suitable reason for their sudden visit. Then, he looked at Hattori Heiji, who was scrutinizing him, and narrowed his eyes.

[Name: Hattori Heiji]

[Rank: LV4 Detective (Special Class), LV4 Swordsman (Combat Class)]

[Detective: Observational superpower, able to accurately observe all information around them, integrate and deduce in their mind, form conclusions, and quickly learn various kinds of knowledge]

[Kendo Master: By connecting the super energy circuits within the body through both hands, a super-powered lightsaber can be condensed to unleash super-powered swordsmanship.]

【Characteristics: Dark-skinned appearance, impulsive and awkward personality, likes to rush into cases, can't keep secrets, skilled in deduction and kendo, and never admits defeat】

Do you recognize me?

Heiji Hattori looked at Hikaru Hoshino with an interested expression.

"I wouldn't say we know each other, it's just a simple deduction. You look about the same age as Kudo, most likely a high school or college student, and you speak with an Osaka accent. Since Kudo's childhood friend Ran doesn't know you, it means you're probably not someone Kudo is familiar with."

"If someone that Kudo doesn't know travels all the way from Osaka to challenge Kudo Shinichi, then there's only one possibility: they are a challenger who knows Kudo's reputation."

"As for Kudo's reputation, the only ones that have reached Osaka are 'detective' and 'soccer player.' Judging from the calluses on your fingers, you probably practice kendo, so you're most likely not a soccer player. In other words, you came to find Kudo to compete in deduction, so you're probably a 'detective' too."

"Osaka, high school student, 'detective,' dares to challenge Shinichi Kudo, and has dark skin—then your identity is pretty obvious."

After Hoshino Hikaru finished speaking, he looked calmly at Hattori Heiji.

This explanation was not deduced, but rather a reverse, fabricated reasoning based on prior knowledge of the answer; however, it was sufficient to deal with Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji nodded after hearing this, a hint of admiration and fighting spirit flashing in his eyes, but he couldn't help but stagger when he heard "his skin was very dark".

"Hey, my skin isn't that dark! Don't you have any manners?"

"Really? I think it's not very polite to suddenly barge into someone's house and start talking about looking for Shinichi Kudo."

Hikaru Hoshino shrugged and spoke casually.

"You're right, sir, and Miss Lan, I apologize for what happened earlier."

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji finally came to his senses and realized that he had been rude, so he lowered his head and apologized.

Ran held Conan, who had a slight fever, on the sofa and focused all her attention on him, completely ignoring Heiji Hattori's words.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief. It was just another high school detective who wanted to play a detective game with Shinichi Kudo. Kogoro Mouri immediately relaxed, waved to Heiji Hattori to indicate that it was okay, and then looked at Hikaru Hoshino.

"You must be Hoshino Hikaru. I've heard Ran mention your name before. You've helped Ran several times before, thank you so much."

Kogoro Mouri looked at Hikaru Hoshino very politely and spoke in a formal tone.

"Uncle Mori, you're too kind. Ran and I help each other out."

Hikaru Hoshino quickly spoke up, his gaze falling on Kogoro Mouri, a golden light flashing in his eyes.

Name: Kogoro Mouri

[Rank: LV4 Detective (Special Profession), LV1 Investigator (Can unleash a burst of power)]

[Detective: By utilizing the super energy circuits within his body, he strengthens his body and quickly masters shooting and combat skills.]

【Characteristics: Lazy personality, enjoys drinking, skilled in police academy combat and judo throws, excellent marksmanship, average reasoning ability, but can unleash a burst of power when family and friends are involved, raising their reasoning ability from LV1 to LV4 for a short period of time】

"It can even unleash a sudden burst of power? That's somewhat similar to Ran's 'Demon Bloodline' superpower—both involve a massive burst of power in a short period. No wonder they're father and daughter."

Hikaru Hoshino looked at Kogoro Mouri's panel with some surprise.

In this world, because Conan was taken to Dr. Agasa's house and didn't go to the Mouri Detective Agency, this was the first time that Hoshino Hikaru met Mouri Kogoro.

However, Hikaru Hoshino had been curious about Kogoro Mouri for a long time.

In the original work, Kogoro Mouri was a very controversial character. His abilities were unpredictable, sometimes high and sometimes low. Some people thought he was a hidden mastermind, while others thought he was just a simple-minded idiot.

Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, Hoshino Hikaru thinks that Kogoro Mouri is just an ordinary person with both strengths and weaknesses. As a detective, his reasoning ability is weak, and it only comes out when he is with his family and friends.

However, he also has his own abilities. He is extremely skilled in combat, and has taken down many vicious criminals with his over-the-shoulder throw. His marksmanship is recorded at the police academy, a record that even Rei Furuya has not been able to break.

With Kogoro Mouri's abilities, he might not be good at solving cases as a detective, but he can easily handle shady jobs like stalking and taking photos without consent. The detective profession is not just about solving cases.

"Hey, you two, are you just going to ignore me like this?"

Seeing that he seemed to be ignored, Hattori Heiji's face darkened even more, and he spoke with a hint of annoyance.

"Sorry, it was my first time meeting my friend's father, so I naturally had to greet him first and forgot about you."

Hoshino Hikaru looked at Hattori Heiji's slightly flushed face and found it somewhat amusing, speaking casually.

"Who told you to be so rude?"

Kogoro Mouri glanced at Heiji Hattori and muttered something under his breath.

"Damn it, who are you anyway?"

Hattori Heiji asked with a dark expression, looking somewhat indignant.

"I am Hikaru Hoshino, and I am also a high school detective."

Hoshino Hikaru spoke calmly and formally introduced himself.

"Hoshino Hikaru, I feel like I've heard that name before? Oh, right, my dad saw an internal Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department bulletin that mentioned this name, saying that a promising young detective has emerged in Tokyo. It must be you!"

Hattori Heiji stroked his chin thoughtfully, then suddenly realized what he meant and spoke meaningfully.

"Oh? Minister Hattori Heizo knows me too?"

Hoshino Hikaru asked in confusion, genuinely surprised this time. After all, Hattori Heizo was a senior character in the world of Detective Conan, with a very high status, and logically, he himself shouldn't be that famous now.

"That's right. My dad often follows the news from all walks of life. There aren't many people he can praise. Apart from Shinichi Kudo and Saguru Hakuba, I rarely see him praise anyone. Judging from your reasoning just now, you seem to be a worthy opponent. Since Shinichi Kudo isn't here, why don't we start with you?"

Hattori Heiji looked at Hoshino Hikaru, pointed a finger at Hoshino Hikaru's face, his eyes seemed to burn with flames, and a fierce fighting spirit rose up.
