The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

"boom"

"You bastard, you better tone it down a bit."

"What does it matter? Meixun didn't refuse, did she?"

"Stop talking nonsense. She's my sister, and I naturally have an obligation to protect her, especially in front of a pervert."

A hairstyle can indeed drastically change a person's overall look.

After Kaoru Kazama removed her childish hair clip, her serene and quiet temperament became even more apparent.

(Actually, it's the behavior of someone who's been a complete slacker to the core.)

In Misaka Mikoto's eyes, this is the perfect older sister template.

As an only child, she had always wished she had an older sister.

As for why she doesn't want to be the younger sister, just look at how Shirai Kuroko and her little fangirls address her.

Kaoru Kazama's appearance stimulated the emergence of her hidden sister complex, which gradually grew stronger unconsciously.

Chapter 486 Go in peace

Are you going to class?

Although in the anime, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko seem to be idle all day long.

But actually, their studies are quite busy.

As a prestigious girls' school, its aim is to cultivate students into well-behaved noble ladies.

For example, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, piano, painting, and a whole host of other skills that are essential for young ladies.

For example, today they are going to a violin lesson.

"Do you want to come with me?"

"That's right, your older sister's violin is quite good. Maybe you, Mikaoru, will have the chance to hear her play."

Shirai Kuroko truly lives up to her reputation as a complete and utter fangirl of Misaka Mikoto.

She knows almost everything about Misaka Mikoto, including the content of her classes.

Don't forget, she's a year younger than Misaka Mikoto.

"Although it's not allowed by the rules, I can take you if you want to."

"My older sister is still as dishonest as ever."

"Although I really want to go, I have to go to Dr. Guatai's to pick up my test results today, so I'll have to wait until next time."

Although she didn't say anything, Misaka Mikoto's expression clearly showed some disappointment.

Kaoru Kazama had no choice; he had completed his mission here and needed to leave this world for the time being.

I'd love to hear Misaka Mikoto play the violin, but I'll have to wait until next time.

And so, after saying goodbye to Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko, Kazama Kaoru had Christia block out the perception of the spacetime loop, and took two samples with him. Then, he swaggered back to the previous spacetime loophole using Kamui and returned to the Conan world.

"Phew, the air on both sides doesn't feel any different."

When we returned from Academy City, the sky in the Conan world was already beginning to lighten.

"System, will the timeline continue as usual after I leave that area?"

"meeting."

"I see. In that case, if there is any major event or if anyone is in danger, please let me know."

"You're asking the system to do your work right off the bat? Is there any compensation?"

With that cheeky, sarcastic speaking style, you don't even need to guess to know it's that lazy, unambitious system.

The long-awaited "lazy fish" system has returned, and Kaoru Kazama is starting to find it a bit tiresome.

Sure enough, it's better to be cold and silent.

"How about I send you a Nintendo set when I have time?"

The lazy system is bad at everything else, but surprisingly, it likes playing games.

He especially enjoys using his superhuman reaction and calculation abilities to dominate newbies in the online gaming world.

And the most bizarre thing is that this guy doesn't like to have normal names.

The system normally does not allow blank nicknames, but this guy used his privileges to tamper with the nickname restrictions and created a bug-level nickname—a blank one.

Kazama Kaoru didn't know this originally; it was this unlucky, lazy system that revealed it to her.

It's said that he spent most of his time playing games, and now he's evolved from a laid-back player to a hardcore gamer.

"Fine, since you're my host."

Kaoru Kazama didn't understand why she cared so much about Misaka Mikoto.

My affection for her mainly exists in the virtual world. When she actually becomes a part of my life, it's really hard to honestly transfer that affection for the virtual character to her.

Perhaps it was when she was a Misaka Sister that she truly felt Misaka Mikoto's protection and care for her.

Fortunately, Kaoru Kazama is quite slim, otherwise those Misaka Mikoto-sensei original safety shorts would have been in danger.

Yes, after returning to the Conan world, Kaoru Kazama naturally reverted to her original body.

However, Misaka Mikoto's original safety shorts are still on her body.

This is the system's twisted sense of humor; it insists that only by wearing these safety shorts to travel through time and space can the mission be considered complete.

However, this also indirectly shows how pathetic Kaoru Kazama's measurements are.

She's more than just a flat-chested woman.

What time is it now?

Because there was no compatible charger available, Kaoru Kazama's phone had run out of battery long ago.

"Mom, it's 5:32 in the morning."

"It's so early, looks like I should go home and take a nap."

It's only 5:30, there's no way I can go to work.

Two and a half hours is a whole day; it would be a waste of life not to use it for a nap.

Going to the Metropolitan Police Department this early won't get you overtime pay.

So Kaoru Kazama went straight home to sleep, until a phone call woke her up, and she realized it was already 10:30.

It's quite strange, really. Even though I was just waking up in the other world, I still fall asleep again when I come back.

She felt it necessary to experience this several times and then write a paper on the relationship between the flow of time in different worlds and human sleep quality.

"Shiratori, I thought it was Miwako calling."

Kaoru Kazama answered the phone in a daze, without even opening her eyes, only to find that it was Shiratori, whom she hadn't contacted in ages.

She wasn't intimidated at all.

Given Shiratori's family circumstances, it's impossible for her to call me to borrow money.

For a moment, she worried that her plan with Miwako to sell the boy had been exposed.

"I'm sorry to have disturbed you by calling, but actually, I need your help with something."

"You need my help?"

Kazama Kaoru was genuinely surprised.

I'm not that close to her, and she's not the object of his affections, so what could possibly involve me?

Could it be that he's using me to pursue Miwako?

"I have a distant relative, a violinist named Shirakawa Renki..."

"So, you mean you've taken on a job for me? Or something like a job to remove a curse? Are you sure you're not kidding?"

Kazama Kaoru was completely bewildered. When Shiratori told him that he had helped him get a job investigating a certain incident, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

I'm a police officer, so when did I become a detective?

If Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the management officer, found out, wouldn't he just clean house without a second thought?

"Well, the client this time is my cousin. I don't know much about what happened in their family, but I'm going abroad next week on an urgent mission and I really can't get away, so I can only ask you for help."

Why don't you go find Miwako?

Logically speaking, something that could potentially deepen the connection between two people should be something one would choose to do with someone they like, right?

"Have you forgotten? It was a weekend, and Miwako couldn't possibly miss her matchmaking event, so I had no choice but to ask you for help."

"Oh, that makes sense."

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll make the trip."

We're all colleagues who see each other all the time, so it's not like I'd make a fuss about helping out.

However, what Kazama Kaoru didn't know was...

The reason why Shiratori didn't call Miwako wasn't just because of her matchmaking event, but also because he was worried that if the curse was real, Miwako might be frightened or harmed as a result.

It has to be said that men in love are all big pigs.

Especially the kind of unrequited love.

"Kazama, I'm sorry, but just to be on the safe side, I'll bring Detective Mouri with me. With Detective Mouri there, nothing should go wrong, so you can go without worry."

After hanging up the phone, Shiratori muttered a few words to himself, then looked at the photo in his hand with deep affection.

Chapter 487 The Unexpected Commission

Kaoru Kazama was unaware that she had become Miwako's stand-in.

What she cared about most was the commission fee that Shiratori mentioned.

As relatives of Shiratori, they naturally come from a wealthy family.
