Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

A deserted alley behind a movie theater and restroom near Tokyo Tower

"Pong!"

A short figure emerged from the toilet window and, without hesitation, jumped down from the two-story-high windowsill with a dull thud.

If it were an ordinary person, jumping from a two-story-high window sill might cause them to worry about twisting their ankle.

However, for Seimei Suzuki, this height was nothing.

Because Suzuki Seimei had already spent 500 yen to temporarily strengthen the muscles in his feet, he wouldn't have to worry about twisting his ankles, even if it were three stories high, let alone two.

"Crash..."

With a thought, Suzuki Seimei's clothes instantly transformed into a black hoodie, changing from a blue and white short-sleeved T-shirt to a liquid.

After putting on a black hat to cover his face, Suzuki Seimei took out the [Pet Summoning Doll].

"Shh!"

A gentle white light flashed, and a fully grown husky, more than half a meter tall, appeared out of thin air in front of Suzuki Seimei.

Perhaps because Suzuki Seimei's mental strength was as high as fourteen points, even though summoning the husky consumed five points of mental strength, he only felt a little tired and did not feel much discomfort.

"Get down!"

Pet dogs summoned by Suzuki Seimei will obey his commands unconditionally, even huskies known as "house-destroying maniacs".

"Let's go."

With the "Riding" skill, Suzuki Seimei seemed to merge with a husky, transforming into a glorious dog rider as he raced towards the building where the maple leaf coins were hidden.

That's right!

Suzuki Seimei's goal was those 15,000 maple leaf gold coins.

Although the treasure map had already been handed over to Officer Takagi and his team, Suzuki Seimei had already memorized the details of the image on it.

Furthermore, Suzuki Haruaki had already recalled some of the plot details and knew that the pattern on the treasure map was actually the pattern of the neon lights near Tokyo Tower.

If Suzuki Seimei finds the maple leaf coins before the police, he can intercept and take them away in advance.

If the loot stolen by those bandit groups consisted of things like jewelry, Suzuki Seimei certainly wouldn't have been interested.

Because stolen goods like jewelry need to be sold before they can be used, and Suzuki Seimei is just a child now, so even if he got his hands on those jewels, it wouldn't be convenient for him to sell them.

Chapter Eighteen: No one gets rich without unexpected wealth.

But Maple Leaf coins are different; precious metals like gold and silver are themselves hard currencies.

In other words, after obtaining those maple leaf coins, Suzuki Seimei could use his "Money Power" to convert them into financial resources without worrying about selling them.

Although Suzuki Haruaki was not short of money, he was still just a child, and his parents could not give him too much pocket money; tens of millions of yen was already the limit.

The maple leaf gold coins stolen by the robbery group were worth a total of 600 million yen, with each maple leaf gold coin worth an average of 40,000 yen.

If Suzuki Seimei could pocket those gold coins, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of money for a long time to come.

That's why Suzuki Seimei had Kurosaki Tamaka take Conan and the others to the movies. This way, Kurosaki Tamaka could keep Conan and the others occupied, and Conan and the others could keep Kurosaki Tamaka occupied as well.

While Kurosaki Tamaka was taking care of Ayumi and the others, Suzuki Seimei secretly slipped out of the movie theater under the pretext of going to the restroom.

As long as Suzuki Seimei can get his hands on those maple leaf coins in a short time, he won't arouse suspicion.

After all, 15,000 gold coins would weigh at least several hundred kilograms, and it would be impossible for a child to move them in a short time.

Suzuki Seimei only set his sights on those maple leaf coins because he had a storage ring.

Following the neon signs, Suzuki Seimei rode his husky at breakneck speed and found the building containing the maple leaf gold coins in less than five minutes.

After storing all the gold coins in his storage ring, Suzuki Seimei rode his husky back to the deserted alley. He then spent 500 yen to strengthen his legs, pushed off the wall, grabbed the toilet window sill, and climbed inside.

Suzuki Haruaki took less than ten minutes in total. When everyone saw him return, they simply assumed he had gone to the toilet and did not suspect anything.

After watching the movie with Ayumi and the others, Kurosaki Tamaka personally put the children on the bus before leaving with Suzuki Seimei in her arms.

Kurosaki Tamaka noticed Suzuki Seimei's barely suppressed smile and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Young Master, you seem very happy today. Is it because you've made some new friends?"

"I suppose so!" Suzuki Haruaki nodded with a smile.

What truly made Suzuki Seimei happy was, of course, the free gold coins worth 600 million yen. However, since Kurosaki Tamaka had misunderstood, he didn't bother to explain.

o (^ ▽ ^) o

that's nice!

Before Suzuki Haruaki started elementary school, he hadn't made many friends, and Kurosaki Tamaka was a little worried that he would become withdrawn.

Seeing that Suzuki Haruaki has made so many good friends, Kurosaki Tamaka is genuinely happy.

To be honest, Kurosaki Tamaka was a bit mistaken. The reason Suzuki Seimei didn't make any friends in kindergarten was mainly because those children were too immature.

Suzuki Seimei was, after all, a reborn person. He couldn't possibly follow those little kids in open-crotch pants and play in the mud, could he?

That would be so embarrassing!

Mouri Detective Agency

"Uncle Mori, Sister Ran, I'm back."

Because Professor Agasa couldn't even take care of himself, Conan, just like in the original story, was eventually sent to live with Ran Mouri.

"Conan, you're back! Did you have fun with Seimei and the others today?" Ran Mouri asked with a smile.

To prevent the adults at home from worrying, Kurosaki Tamaka had them call their parents before taking Genta and the others to the movies.

Therefore, Ran Mouri knew that Conan had made new friends and felt at ease letting him hang out with Seimei Suzuki.

"I'm so happy~ Sister Yuhua is a very nice person, and Qingming and the others are also very friendly."

"That's wonderful! I was a little worried you wouldn't adjust well after transferring schools!" Ran Mouri gently patted Conan's head, then picked him up and walked towards the bathroom, teasingly saying with a smile, "Look at you, you're all sweaty, you need to take a good bath~"

"Take a...bath..."

?(????ω????)?

"Conan, don't be shy~ Seimei wasn't as shy as you when he took a bath~"

More than half an hour later, Ke Nanfang walked out of the bathroom, his face flushed, and covered his nose tightly with his hand, as if afraid that he would lose control and bleed to death.

Too exciting!

It turns out being a child is so joyful; suddenly I don't want to go back to being a child.

?

Recalling the inappropriate scene from earlier, Conan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a lewd smile.

While drying her damp hair with a towel, Ran Mouri asked Conan, "By the way, Conan, my dad and I are going to Kyoto tomorrow for a friend's wedding. Do you want to invite Seimei and the others to come along? It's Sunday anyway, so everyone's free."

"En!"

Looking up at Ran Mouri's graceful curves, Conan couldn't hear what she was saying anymore and subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Suzuki Estate

"My dear son, let Mommy give you a hug. I've missed you so much these past few days, my sweetheart~" Just as he entered the manor hall, a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted over, and Suzuki Seimei felt as if his feet were lifted into the air, landing in a magnificent embrace.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in with Tomoko Suzuki. You are rewarded with a [Guardian Necklace], which you can claim at any time."

"Kiss kiss..."

When Tomoko Suzuki wears a long black dress, she exudes the air of a dignified and elegant lady in front of outsiders.

However, in front of her beloved son, Suzuki Haruaki, she was like a girl who never grew up, showering his little face with kisses.

"Mom, that's enough, isn't it?"

Suzuki Seimei instinctively turned his head to avoid it, but after failing to struggle, he had no choice but to give up resisting.

"My Seimei is the cutest~"

After venting her pent-up emotions, Suzuki Tomoko chuckled and nuzzled Seimei's cheek before reluctantly putting him down.

Suzuki Seimei walked up to the kind-faced Suzuki Shiro and patted his stomach with some dissatisfaction. "Dad, you didn't save me just now."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in, Suzuki Shiro. You are rewarded with 3 stamina points, which you can claim at any time."

The moment Suzuki Seimei touched Suzuki Shiro, the system notification sounded in his ear again.

Chapter Nineteen: Counterfeit Alcohol Strikes (Please vote and add to your favorites!)

Suzuki Shiro stole a glance at his wife, whose face was filled with amusement, smiled awkwardly, and whispered in Suzuki Seimei's ear, "My dear son, do you think I dare?"

"..."

Suzuki Seimei remained silent for a moment.

On the surface, Shiro Suzuki is the head of the Suzuki Group, but in private he is a complete henpecked husband who dares not do anything disrespectful in front of his wife.

"Alright, I'm not talking to you guys anymore. I'm all sweaty from playing today, I'm going to take a shower now."

"Master, Madam, I must take my leave now."

Kurosaki Tamaka bowed to Suzuki Shiro and the others, then gracefully followed Suzuki Seimei, as she needed to attend to him during his bath.
