The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

"Hey, don't make decisions on your own. I haven't even given my opinion yet."

"Children don't need opinions; they just need to listen to adults."

Kazama Kaoru is experiencing a novel feeling right now. After all, he just came back from the semi-feudal society of the Naruto world, and seeing these towering buildings and all sorts of modern technology always gives him a sense of temporal and spatial dislocation.

They didn't wander far, so Kaoru Kazama soon arrived at Professor Agasa's house.

Whether it was intentional or not, there was a loud "bang" as soon as Kaoru Kazama's car came to a stop.

An explosion was heard from Professor Agasa's house, accompanied by plumes of black smoke, but the area was not large. Even the front door remained standing intact, indicating that another invention had failed.

"You don't seem surprised at all?"

The usually sensitive detective, who rarely heard anything unusual, showed no excitement. Instead, he slowly opened the car door and calmly got out.

He even turned back to Kazama Kaoru and complained:

"That guy, the Doctor, always comes up with some weird inventions. Explosions are a common occurrence. For a while, he even used the sound of explosions as his alarm clock."

The situation is much better than before.

"Let's go take a look. Judging from the billowing black smoke, even if it didn't explode, it'll probably have been suffocated by the smoke."

"cough cough"

So when Kaoru Kazama and Conan entered the room, they saw Professor Agasa with skin that had been dyed the color of an African friend by the smoke, accompanied by a loud cough.

"Doctor, what are you developing now?"

"Ahem~~, it's Shinichi. It's nothing. I was just trying to see if I could improve the old rocket thrusters, but I didn't expect there to be a problem during the testing and it accidentally exploded. But it's a minor matter, I'll fix it soon."

"Are you sure you're alright, Doctor?"

Kazama Kaoru suspected that Professor Agasa's physique came from the Pokémon world. That kind of powerful physique, where being burned or struck by lightning only changes the color of the skin without causing any damage, is only hidden in comedy anime. If you observe carefully, you will find that it is quite powerful.

"It's alright, it's alright, don't worry. Officer Kazama, you're here too. Please have a seat, I'll be right there once I've tidied up the place."

Seeing that there was no problem, Kaoru Kazama felt relieved and went to sit on the sofa in the living room. He poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly, which made Conan roll his eyes. He really didn't treat Kaoru like an outsider.

Chapter 682 This world is very unscientific, but very much like Detective Conan.

"Inspector Kazama, is there something you need today?"

Professor Agasa asked with some curiosity, "Compared to the Detective Boys, Kaoru Kazama is quite a rare guest. Ai Haibara comes much more often than her."

"Nothing, I just suddenly felt like taking a walk around."

Conan suppressed the urge to retort. He understood Kazama Kaoru's desire to slack off, but as a great detective who hadn't yet entered the workforce and become a busy office worker, he couldn't understand the joy of slacking off.

Or rather, all that can bring the great detective joy are cases and Ran.

To clarify, it involves investigating cases and taking advantage of Xiaolan, such as pretending to be younger to take a bath with her.

Seeing Kazama Kaoru staring at him with a strange, somewhat disdainful look, the great detective didn't think anything was wrong.

All I can say is, I'm used to it, whatever.

It highlights a self-destructive, or rather, a Buddhist-like, mentality.

Yes, Kaoru Kazama thinks that this kind of great detective is much better than the reckless and impulsive version of himself he used to be.

They didn't consider at all that this was a performance forced upon them by their own terrible personality.

"Doctor, what are you currently researching? Can I take a look?"

Kaoru Kazama was incredibly bored. The main problem was that a special task force had suddenly been formed. Even though she was the only one in charge, there were still a lot of files and documents to organize, almost emptying the archives.

Kazama Kaoru suspected that her superiors were trying to work her to death. She had been forced to become a workaholic buried in files for the past few days, and she had to cherish the rare opportunity to slack off.

"It's the rocket jet that I told Shinichi about before, the one we made before. But the ignition system isn't stable enough, and it would probably require someone with a good sense of balance to control it. Anyway, I don't think it's going to work."

Professor Agasa pointed to something nearby and said.

This thing seems to have appeared at the beginning of Detective Conan. At that time, Shinichi Kudo hadn't shrunk yet, and it just so happened that this thing woke him up early in the morning, and then he took Ran to Dorope Tropical Paradise.

Those were Shinichi Kudo's last happy times, after which he began to engage in uncivilized and impolite behavior such as urinating and defecating anywhere.

Can I tell the truth?

Kaoru Kazama is quite adept at balance.

When he first inherited Mikasa's physical abilities, he was already very familiar with 3D Maneuver Gear, which is extremely demanding on balance, let alone this backpack-style hand-held rocket launcher.

"Alright, let me help you adjust it. The explosion didn't cause any damage to the machine; there was just a slight issue with the ignition and proportion of the gunpowder, which caused some noise and thick smoke. After the adjustment, there won't be any problems, so you can rest assured."

Professor Agasa confidently assured him, but judging from Conan's deadpan expression, he must have done this kind of thing quite a few times before.

In other words, Professor Agasa must have set quite a few flags.

"It's okay, I won't fly too high, I'll just hover for a bit to test it out."

Kazama Kaoru was just bored and looking for some fun; it wasn't something that would cause him any unexpected trouble.

Besides, as long as this thing doesn't fly dozens of meters, she wouldn't have any problems jumping down with her physical abilities; at most, it would just scare Conan and the others.

She didn't want to keep using illusion techniques or mind control to erase other people's memories, because it would be troublesome if she developed dementia.

After all, one of these methods directly stimulates the mental state, while the other affects a person's psychology by controlling the water content in the brain. Neither of these methods seems like a very healthy way to cook, so Kazama Kaoru still chooses to avoid exposing powers beyond the scope of scientific understanding.

After all, even based on her normal performance, no one can compare to her.

At the beginning, Kyogoku Makoto might have been able to put up a fight, but now they are on completely different levels.

"Doctor, are you home?"

Just as Kaoru Kazama was controlling the rocket launcher to slowly ascend into the air, a child's shout came from outside Professor Agasa's house. Kaoru, who had just taken off, saw it clearly: the Junior Detective League had arrived.

She also felt a little strange. Didn't Conan say that he had asked for leave to come out? So what's going on now? It can't be that all the Junior Detective League kids have asked for leave, right?

What are you doing here?

"Of course we're working. We've brought Conan to revisit the scene to see if he can recall any details. The Fourth Investigation Division really needs it."

"So the scene can't be here, right? And you seem to be having a lot of fun by yourself."

Ai's witty remarks were as sharp as ever, hitting the nail on the head and immediately seeing through Kaoru Kazama's slacking off nature.

"Okay, I was just being lazy, but I still need to project a positive image as an adult in front of the kids."

Kaoru Kazama lowered her head and whispered to Ai, who was complaining about her.

She had already gotten off the rocket launcher when she saw the group of children.

After all, it's not appropriate to experiment with something dangerous in front of children. What if they become interested and try it secretly, and something bad happens?

"But speaking of which, are you guys on holiday today? How come Conan said he took the day off because he was bored and came out?"

Kaoru Kazama is acting strangely.

If I had known it was a holiday today, wouldn't it have been pointless to ask for leave?

"No, the school suddenly decided to give us a day off today without explaining why. But Edogawa's sick leave was definitely a waste of time."

"So, are you here to hang out with the professor or what?"

"The kids decided to go on an adventure, and I didn't really care; I just came along."

"In that case, I'll take you around. I'm pretty bored anyway."

"Ai, what are you and Kaoru whispering about? Members of the Junior Detective League aren't allowed to keep secrets. Is there some clue about treasure or something?"

Genta probably noticed that Kaoru Kazama was whispering to Ai, and that's why he asked that question out of curiosity.

"That means if there are any clues about treasure, you must report them. It is absolutely not allowed to hide them."

Mitsuhiko added from the side, "I really don't know why these kids are so interested in treasure."

Although first-grade children have begun to develop a concept of money, do they really understand what treasure is?

Genta probably doesn't automatically calculate the cost of buying several servings of eel rice.

It feels like not only dates and seasons are ambiguous in this world, but even these kids are unpredictable.

Sometimes he gives the impression of being a slightly mature twelve or thirteen-year-old, and other times he seems like a very naive five or six-year-old.

Oh, and Conan's height is equally strange; sometimes it's normal, and sometimes it's terribly short.

Logically speaking, a first-grader shouldn't need to stand on tiptoe to reach a doorknob. Indeed, this world is very unscientific, but also very scientific.

Chapter 683 The Nine Paths Sect's Great Search Incident

"They didn't say anything, they were just discussing what interesting things might happen around here."

Ai spoke calmly, without any change in expression, which was quite convincing.

"Really, we're really bored right now, which is why we came to find Professor Agasa to play with. But we didn't expect Conan to be here too. He's so cunning. You must be planning to sneak away from us and play by yourself today, right?"

Genta stared at Conan with a look that seemed to say, "You little brat, how dare you betray us!" The great detective looked utterly helpless with his deadpan expression.

"Since everyone is bored, why don't we go out and wander around the streets? We might just discover some fun places."

It's clear that Kaoru Kazama was really bored today, as he actually thought of taking a bunch of kids for a walk.

Even without considering Conan's existence, the addition of the Junior Detective League kids amplifies the Grim Reaper's buff, making the probability of an incident almost 100%.

"Yay! Sister Xun is taking us out!"

The children cheered, while Conan remained speechless.

He finally managed to get away from those kids and planned to relax and stop being a nanny, but trouble still found him.

Ai didn't feel anything special, or rather, she was quite happy to see these kids so energetic, and it made her feel like her gloom had been dispelled.

"In that case, let's go. We'll be back before dinner. Professor Agasa, you can focus on your research and inventions without worry."

Kaoru Kazama led a group of children out the door, leaving Professor Agasa with an envious expression.

"Nothing has happened lately, not even at school. Tokyo feels surprisingly peaceful."

The speaker was Mitsuhiko, who was the most mature among the children besides Conan and Ai.

Perhaps it's due to imitation, or perhaps it's his nature, but he prefers to speak in a rather old-fashioned manner.

"Maybe, but I don't feel anything special. Have you guys had a lot of classes lately?"
