Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Although it wasn't exactly a detour, why would someone like Sano go out of his way to take him back?

There must be some other purpose behind it.

When Ai Haibara saw the motorcycle parked across the street, which looked incredibly cool and powerful, she finally understood what was going on.

So he just wanted to show off his new mount...

That makes sense.

Ai Haibara relaxed a little and asked, "I heard you bought an electric scooter before, why did you change it?"

"Ah, that thing is too slow, this one is faster."

Sano gave a casual, perfunctory reply, which Ai Haibara didn't pay any attention to, focusing her attention on the motorcycle.

Harley-Davidson? It brings back some memories. I used to ride one of these motorcycles all over the highway. The more I look at it... the more damn familiar it seems?

Ai Haibara suddenly began to examine the motorcycle in front of her closely.

...A few minutes later, Ai Haibara looked at Sano with a serious expression.

Although Ai Haibara didn't find any unique mark of herself on this Harley motorcycle... she hadn't left any special marks either.

However, Ai Haibara could still tell that the motorcycle seemed to have been refurbished. If it wasn't to conceal something, then it was most likely...

Sano got scammed.

Where did you buy this car?

Sano, who had been watching Ai Haibara inspect the vehicle the whole time, pretended to recall for a moment: "I can't remember the name, but it was just a small used car dealership."

...a used car dealership?

This means that Sano knew beforehand that the car was old, so after refurbishing it, there shouldn't be any problem. At least he wasn't ripped off.

No matter how she looked at it, Ai Haibara still felt that this Harley was actually her Harley.

But that car should be with the organization... Could it be that because of his defection, no one wanted the car, so Gin sold it to a used car dealership to supplement his "family income"?

Considering Gin's daily routine of completing various missions from morning till night in order to raise funds for the organization, Ai Haibara thinks... it's not impossible!

So when Sano changed his mode of transportation, he ended up in his own car?

After touching the Harley with a complicated expression, Ai Haibara sighed softly... Even so, given her current condition, it was impossible for her to drive the motorcycle anymore.

uncomfortable.

...Seeing Ai Haibara sighing at her motorcycle, Sano was a little surprised that this fake loli could recognize her car so quickly.

Actually, when Gin said he was going to give the motorcycle to Sano, he originally planned to sell it.

Although Sano did intend to get another daily mode of transportation... after all, the electric scooter was indeed a bit slow if you didn't drive it at full speed, he felt that if he bought a sedan, it might not last long under his control.

In addition, there are a series of reasons such as traffic jams and inconvenient parking.

Sano decided to keep the Harley for himself.

...Anyway, there are so many Harley-Davidson motorcycles, why should Ai Haibara claim that this one is hers?

Chapter 316, 315: Amuro Tooru: I'll teach you how to drive!

Of course, just in case, Sano still refurbished the motorcycle and even took it out for a spin in front of Ai Haibara today.

...although he was still recognized.

However, it's not a big problem; it's most likely just a matter of intuition.

Even if there were evidence, Sano wouldn't panic at all.

So what if it's your motorcycle? You have all the necessary paperwork and documents... Even though you made it yourself, it still has all the necessary permits!

If all else fails, just call out to this motorcycle and see if it responds. That'll be the end of you.

If that doesn't work, Ai Haibara, if you're so capable, turn back into Shiho Miyano and sue her in court.

"Let's go."

Sano didn't give Ai Haibara a chance to ask any more questions. He simply dragged her into the car and sped all the way to Professor Agasa's house.

After sending Ai Haibara back, Sano went home again.

What was even more surprising was that Sano actually saw a dark-skinned man downstairs in his own building.

...However, it wasn't the dark-skinned guy who had just been threatened by Sano, but the blond-haired dark-skinned guy.

Amuro Tooru, what's this guy doing coming downstairs at my house?

Sano pressed the brake, then frowned in confusion. If it were an emergency, wouldn't they have called him directly? Waiting downstairs when he couldn't get an answer felt like he was waiting for him...

Suddenly, Sano's thoughts paused, and he stopped himself from going over to ask.

...Sano remembered Amuro Tooru's car that he had "borrowed".

Could it be that they were actually waiting for him because of that car?

Sano reached a conclusion in just one second.

This is bad, let's get out of here!

Unfortunately, before Sano could twist the accelerator, a dark face appeared from the side, staring at Sano with resentful eyes, and asked, "We're already home, why aren't you getting out of the car? Where are you planning to go?"

Sano: "..."

Oh wow.

...Although Sano did not approach Amuro Tooru immediately, he forgot that even when his motorcycle was not moving, the engine was still quite loud.

Therefore, it is understandable that Amuro Tooru would notice him.

The current problem is still what Amuro Tooru plans to do.

Sano coughed and started with pleasantries: "Boss, have you had lunch yet?"

"Thanks to you, I just picked up my car from the repair shop and haven't eaten yet."

Amuro Tooru replied in this way.

...That's so direct.

Sano looked away somewhat guiltily, then casually pulled out the three cakes that Ai Haibara had paid for: "How about... we have one?"

Amuro Tooru glanced at the cake in Sano's hand and let out a sigh of relief: "Can I take that as you're planning to compensate me with a piece of cake?"

"Hey, you can't say that."

Sano Yoshino said sternly, "If you want, I can give you all three, but let me make this clear first: I have no money, but you can take my life. After all, as you know, I just took over the antique coffee shop and haven't even broken even yet, so I really don't have the money to compensate you."

Faced with Sano's shameless behavior without batting an eye, Amuro Tooru's lips twitched, and he waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, I never intended for you to pay me back anyway."

"Really?"

Upon hearing that he wouldn't have to pay compensation, Sano was slightly surprised. At the same time, he abandoned his plan to quickly get rid of Amuro Tooru. He simply gave the other party a thumbs up, praised him as "generous," and then took out a piece of cake and started eating it in the car: "Then I won't share this cake with you."

This guy... his mood changes really fast.

Amuro Tooru pursed his lips and snatched a piece of cake from Sano's hand: "You still have to eat. Who do you think is the one who made me miss lunch?"

"Okay okay."

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Sano asked about the important matter: "Since you didn't come here to ask me for money back, is there something you want to tell me?"

Amuro Tooru wiped the cake crumbs off his fingers: "It's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask if you have a driver's license. If you're driving without a license, then I'm just reminding you not to cause trouble for yourself."

"For a detective, breaking the law is a major taboo, you know what I mean."

Upon hearing Amuro Tooru's lecture, Sano pulled out the fake ID: "But I wasn't driving without a license."

"Ok?"

Amuro Tooru stared blankly at the driver's license for a long time, but after failing to find any flaws, he slowly typed out a line of dots.

...This guy actually has a driver's license?

Which driving school let him out? Could they be any more unreliable?

If you're so capable, just say it, and you definitely won't do anything!

After a long silence, Amuro Tooru returned the driver's license to Sano and stood up: "Let's go."

"what?"

Sano took back his driver's license, blinked in bewilderment, and subconsciously asked, "Where to?"

"Practice driving!"

Amuro Tooru looked at Sano with a determined look in his eyes, though it was unclear whether he was afraid Sano would steal his car again or for some other reason.

In short, Sano was dragged along by Amuro Tooru to practice driving until he was released in the evening.

...Every day is becoming more and more fulfilling.

After being called by Gin to complete another mission, Sano finally went home after get off work.

On the way, Sano felt a little thirsty, so he went into a nearby convenience store to buy a bottle of water.

Upon entering the store, Sano saw her again, dragging a large bag... or rather, a little girl with a large bag, relatively speaking.

...How did this girl end up here?

Sano was a little surprised because the convenience store was quite a distance from where they lived.

It's even stranger now that it's so late.

...Looks like they're here to buy groceries?

Watching the little girl picking and choosing among the vegetables on the shelf and muttering to herself, Sano tiptoed up, intending to go over and say hello.

However, the next second Sano remembered that he hadn't changed his disguise yet, and was currently in his rye disguise, which the little girl wouldn't recognize, so he simply gave up on the idea.

...Anyway, it won't cause any problems if I don't say hello, so I'll just buy the water and go straight home.

Sano took a drink from the shelf and glanced at the flyer in the little girl's hand. He then realized that she seemed to have come all this way to buy groceries because of the limited-time discount advertised on the flyer.

...It seems that this girl's family is indeed struggling financially, that she would travel so far just to save a little money.

I just don't know if this was instructed by the little girl's mother, or if she wanted to do it herself.
