Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Suzuki Harumi subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and the first thing he saw was a pair of long, beautiful legs covered in black stockings, followed by an orange-red work uniform and a pretty face.

To Suzuki Seimei's surprise, the words "Check-in Available" were floating above the pretty elevator attendant's head.

Never mind! I'll just sign in first!

Signing in is a bonus!

"Sister, we want to go to the fifth floor!"

After regaining his senses, Suzuki Seimei subtly tugged at the elevator operator's right hand.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Ehara Yuriko. You are rewarded with a bag of [Jewelry], which you can claim at any time."

【Item Name: Jewelry】

Type: Consumables

Quality: Normal

Note: This is just a bag of ordinary jewelry.

"(￣(エ)￣)ゞ

Suzuki Seimei frowned, a hint of doubt creeping into his mind.

How did I end up with such an item from this elevator attendant? I thought I'd get some stat boosts from signing in!

Ding!

Before Suzuki Seimei could figure it out, the elevator doors slowly opened, and Ayumi smiled and pulled him out: "Seimei, we're here~"

After entering the dining area, the five children first found an empty seat and sat down. Then they ordered five children's meals and chatted while eating.

"Two days ago, Carrefour department store was broken into by a group of unidentified robbers after closing time, and all the jewelry was stolen. This is the second department store to be robbed. The police are making every effort to solve the case, and the robbery gang..."

Upon hearing the news broadcast on television, Suzuki Haruaki forgot all about enjoying his delicious hot dog and became completely absorbed in the news, revealing a thoughtful expression.

If that pretty elevator hostess was actually a member of a robbery gang, then getting a bag of jewelry from her would seem more normal.

After having a guess in his mind, Suzuki Seimei was not in a hurry to call the police. He needed to find a way to verify the matter.

"Thank you so much! We look forward to your next visit. Goodbye, kids!"

ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye~Bye~

With the elevator attendant's warm farewell, the five little ones, having eaten and drunk their fill, happily left the department store.

Not long after leaving the department store, Suzuki Haruaki suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot to leave my schoolbag inside the department store!"

"what?"

"Seimei, you really are quite careless; you even managed to lose your schoolbag!"

Ayumi said anxiously, "Then we have to hurry back, the department store is about to close."

"No need, I can go back and get my bag by myself. You guys should go back first!" Suzuki Haruaki waved his hand, quickly declining Ayumi's offer.

In fact, Suzuki Seimei deliberately left his schoolbag inside the department store so that he would have an excuse to go back and secretly verify his guess.

Otherwise, after separating from Conan and the others, Suzuki Seimei would have to go home with Kurosaki Tamaka and the others, and would have no chance to return to the department store.

"Oh no, I think I forgot my Kamen Rider autograph inside the department store too." Genta suddenly cried out in despair as soon as Suzuki Seimei finished speaking.

(⊙_⊙)?

Suzuki Seimei blinked, somewhat bewildered. Could Genta be putting on an act for me?

To prevent Ayumi and the others from getting into danger, Suzuki Haruaki originally planned to return to the department store alone, but now that you've done this...

"I really can't do anything with you guys, so let's hurry back!" Conan shook his head helplessly and led everyone back to the department store.

I knew it……

Suzuki Seimei sighed and rubbed his forehead. The "Young Freeloaders" group was indeed living up to its name. Even if he hadn't deliberately dropped his backpack, he probably wouldn't have escaped the fate of clashing with those bandit groups.

The department store security guard glanced at his watch and called out to the customers still lingering in the store, "Please hurry, everyone! The security system will be activated in ten minutes!"

However, what the gatekeeper didn't notice was that five short figures took advantage of his inattention and ran along the corner of the wall into the department store.

Because Suzuki Seimei deliberately left the schoolbag behind, he quickly and "coincidentally" found it with Conan and the others.

Genta genuinely had no idea where Kamen Rider's autograph had fallen. After searching for quite a while, the group finally found the lost autograph next to a hot dog stand.

"Wait, wait..."

Despite their haste, Suzuki Seimei and his companions were still unable to leave the department store in time, and could only watch helplessly as the department store doors closed automatically, trapping them inside.

clack clack...

The lights in the department store automatically went out, and the empty hall was instantly shrouded in darkness.

"This is really bad, we're trapped inside."

What should we do now?

Seeing the worried looks on Genta and the others' faces, Conan couldn't help but chuckle and reassured them, "Don't worry too much. We just need to go to the security guard in the guardhouse and tell them the truth, and they'll definitely let us out!"

"Really? That's great."

Upon hearing Conan's words, Genta and the others breathed a sigh of relief and began to grope their way towards the guardhouse.

"Da da da……"

The department store's security room was located on the second basement level. The footsteps of the five little ones echoed in the empty underground parking lot, sounding particularly eerie and mysterious.

Even Seimei Suzuki would feel a bit uneasy if he weren't with anyone else; this kind of environment is perfect for filming horror movies.

In the guard room on the second basement floor

Three security guards in uniform were tied up and thrown into a corner of the guardhouse. Next to them was a beautiful woman, also tied up, named Yuriko Ehara.

Besides the four people who were tied up, there were four other figures in the guard room.

The leading figure was dressed as Kamen Rider, while the other three figures were dressed as villainous monsters.

"It's Kamen Rider..."

Before Ayumi could even cry out, Suzuki Haruaki swiftly covered her mouth and whispered, "Everyone, be quiet. Those guys are probably a gang of robbers."

"Let's get out of here quickly and find a phone to call the police," Conan whispered, pulling Mitsuhiko and Genta along as they quietly backed away.

ding ding ding...

Just as Suzuki Seimei was about to leave with Ayumi, his foot suddenly kicked a 500 yen coin, producing a crisp metallic clanging sound in the quiet basement.

(?--)

The five little ones were slightly taken aback, unsure of how to respond.

This damn good fortune couldn't have come at the worst possible time!

"Who's out there?!"

"Run!"

Conan was the first to come to his senses and grabbed Mitsuhiko and Genta, and they ran.

ヾ(gt;Дlt;;))))…escape~~

After realizing what was happening, Suzuki Seimei scooped Ayumi up in his arms and ran towards the elevator.

Because Suzuki Seimei's speed reached 7 points and his strength was as high as 8 points, even while carrying Ayumi, he was still faster than Conan and the others.

Cheating!

When Conan and the others saw that Suzuki Haruaki, the culprit, was carrying Ayumi and running faster than them, they cursed inwardly.

Ding!

With a pleasant sound of the door opening, the five little ones rushed into the elevator one after another, and Conan, who was the last to enter, quickly pressed the close button.

"call……"

As the elevator doors slowly closed, the five little ones breathed a sigh of relief.

boom!

Just as the elevator doors were about to close completely, a large gloved hand suddenly reached in from outside.

Sensing the presence of the arm, the elevator doors slowly opened, revealing four thugs with wicked grins on their faces.

"I thought it was someone important, but it's just five little devils."

When the leader of the bandits saw Suzuki Seimei and his men, he couldn't help but reveal a disdainful smile.

Faced with the four robbers' malicious smiles, Conan's expression turned grim, and Genta and the others were so frightened they were about to cry.

ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

Suzuki Seimei shook his head helplessly, then suddenly exerted force with his feet, charging towards the bandits at the front like an arrow released from a bow.

Lushan Rising Dragon Strike!

Suzuki Seimei clenched his right fist and slammed it upwards, aiming straight for the bandit leader's vitals. With the support of his mastery of karate, the explosive power of 13 points sent the bandit flying.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Yamashita Saburo. You are rewarded with 1 point of strength value, which you can claim at any time."

Any man who suffers a severe blow to his vital parts will instantly lose the ability to resist, and the robber in front of him was no exception.

The robber, dressed in a Kamen Rider costume, rolled his eyes and felt an indescribable pain surge through him, causing him to faint instantly.

hiss……

Apart from Ayumi, everyone present gasped in shock at the sight of such a brutal scene, instinctively squeezing their legs together.

Bang!

After knocking down Saburo Yamashita with a single blow, Seimei Suzuki rushed towards the nearest bandit and headbutted him in the stomach.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully checking in to Matsumoto Maru. You are rewarded with 1 stamina point, which you can claim at any time."

The robber, who had been struck hard in the abdomen, bent over and staggered backward uncontrollably, only to be met with a beautiful spinning kick from Suzuki Seimei, who had leaped high into the air, which landed heavily on his cheek.
