Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Considering that Sano seemed quite interested in the crow, Gin didn't react immediately. Instead, he endured it for a while, until the inspection was over, but he could still hear the noisy "cawing" sound.

Finally, I chose to speak up.

As the saying goes-

Take a step back, the sky is brighter.

I should just bear with it... but the more I think about it, the angrier I get!

This guy not only didn't help with the inspection, but he also went off to play with birds, completely disregarding his roommate's existence and making a racket.

If I don't show myself, will people really think I'm mute?

"Looks like you're quite popular with this stuff, Rye."

Hearing Gin's cold laugh, Sano raised an eyebrow and turned to look at him.

...Generally speaking, crows are considered unlucky by most people, so saying that they are welcomed by crows is not a good thing. But Gin is a Westerner after all...at least in appearance. Sano is not sure if there is such a saying here, but judging from the sarcastic tone in his voice...

In any case, Sano definitely wouldn't think that Gin was praising him.

Going even further, even though crows are not considered unlucky in the West, as omnivorous creatures, they especially like to scavenge in garbage, and the places they appear in are often dirty and messy, making them definitely not likable creatures.

Therefore, Sano felt that he could completely believe that Gin was saying that he exuded a dirty aura, which was why he attracted Daikoku's "favor".

Oh right, Sano forgot about Gin's real name, which is also in a Japanese style, so we should still consider this guy as Japanese... I just don't know if Chianti is actually a true Japanese.

Can these two people be considered from the same perspective?

...In short, from any perspective, Sano felt that he had been "scolded," and for no apparent reason.

What did I do to deserve this?

Feeling slightly puzzled and confused, Sano withdrew his gaze. Although he didn't quite understand the situation, it didn't stop him from speaking up and retorting.

"It's alright. After all, I've always been approachable and friendly, so I guess I have some kind of scent that makes me more attractive to small animals. But Lord Gin, you probably don't understand this kind of trouble, do you?"

Gin: "?"

Goodness, this guy's got a knack for twisting the facts!

They shamelessly turned criticism into praise, and even ended up belittling themselves.

interesting.

"quack!"

Before Gin could speak again, Daikoku cackled twice, echoing Sano's sarcastic remark. Coupled with its flapping wings, it gave Gin a strange feeling—

It seems I've been mocked by a bird.

...Sano is one thing, he's still a human being.

How dare even a bird mock me? Isn't that a bit too much?

Gin's forehead veins bulged again.

But just at that moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Big Brother, Brother Mai, are you two asleep?"

That's the sound of vodka.

"Speak your mind!"

Gin responded coldly.

"...Cohen and his friends said they wanted to check out the buffet restaurant downstairs that's free for hotel guests. Do you guys want to come along?"

Vodka, standing outside the door, shrank back... Judging from Gin's tone of voice just now, he felt as if he had done something he shouldn't have.

Intuition told Vodka.

Sano and Gin are probably not... peaceful.

I had to get involved at this crucial moment; I was just asking for trouble.

Vodka felt a pang of regret. Was he just bored and had nothing better to do than ask these two menacing figures, neither of whom he could afford to offend?

But if I don't ask, what if it comes up later and the two of them use it to vent their anger?

That would be even worse...

Vodka looked sullen; being a lackey was tough, serving a lord was like walking on thin ice!

Have a meal?

Gin frowned. The atmosphere in the room had already been interrupted and muddied. If he continued to "talk nonsense," it would probably be pointless.

Whether Sano will be willing to "settle things peacefully" is another matter entirely...

"Let's eat."

Sano, half-carrying his large black coat, took small, quick steps past Gin, then opened the door, ignoring the instantly tense vodka outside, and took the elevator downstairs.

Gin: "..."

Tsk, this completely indifferent attitude is even more annoying.

"Vodka's gone!"

"Huh? Yes, big brother!"

……

Upon arriving at the buffet restaurant on the first floor, Chianticohn and Calvados had already started eating... It seems that there is no bureaucratic tradition in the organization that others cannot start eating until their superiors arrive.

"Hey, over here!"

Chianti seemed worried that Sano couldn't find anyone, so she raised her hand and shouted loudly, causing the other guests nearby to frown.

...As the saying goes, freedom is every day, and for the open-minded Amelia, Chianti's behavior should not have any problems.

The problem is that this is a high-end hotel.

Those dining here are not all upper-class people, but at least they are not the kind of people who like to make a fuss. That is why Sano has not been able to enter yet.

He was stopped by a waiter.

"Excuse me, sir, pets are not allowed here."

...Although Sano couldn't understand what the other person was saying, he could roughly guess what the other person meant from the look in his eyes on Daikoku.

And whether Big Black understood the waiter's words or not, it also started to "caw caw"... Wait a minute, this is Amelika's raven. Will it grow up to only be able to understand "English" and not other languages, apart from its own mental communication?

Sano, who suddenly realized his blind spot, was unable to argue with the waiter for a moment.

Calvados, who was on the other side, immediately came over when he saw this.

"What's wrong?"

Calvados was speaking English, and his target was naturally the waiter... although to Sano, it always sounded like he was speaking in the national language.

After the exchange, Calvados looked at Sano with some helplessness and whispered, "This guy is too stubborn. He won't let your...pet in. What do you say?"

In fact, Calvados wasn't too "helpless." On the contrary, he was taking a spectator's attitude because, according to the sniper duo, "Rye" was a complete madman who might draw his gun at the slightest provocation in this situation... wait, they didn't have any guns on them right now.

So, you're using bombs?

That seems even more inappropriate.

However, Chianti seemed to have mentioned that the rye bomb had disappeared without a trace, and might have actually evaded security checks... In short, Calvados didn't think the other party wouldn't cause trouble next, but this undoubtedly went against Gin's desire for "low profile," especially since it was during a mission.

If rye really does cause trouble, then things will undoubtedly become interesting.

Gin is here.

Calvados turned his attention to the Gin duo, who had finally caught up.

So, make your choice, Rye.

It was a flamboyant counterattack, testing Gin's limits of patience.

Or should I swallow my anger and become a coward?

Under Calvados' expectant and curious gaze, and amidst the puzzled expressions of Gin and his budding companion, Sano calmly reached in...

Gin's pocket.

Chapter 363, Page 362, Gin: If you keep yelling, I'll yell at you!

Then he took out a wallet, pulled out a wad of bills, and threw it to the waiter.

"Okay?"

The waiter hurriedly took the banknotes, looking hesitant.

Seeing this, Sano didn't hesitate to throw out another stack of cash. The other party immediately beamed with joy, disregarding everything else, nodding repeatedly and adding a string of "okok".

Sano closed his wallet, put it back in Gin's pocket, and walked towards the table where the sniper duo was, leaving Gin, Vodka, and Calvados behind.

A big question mark gradually appeared on his face.

Calvados never expected that, faced with such a "dilemma," Sano would neither choose to cause trouble nor swallow his anger, but instead choose to solve the problem with money... and not even with his own money.

As for Gin and Vodka... neither of them had any idea what had happened.

The only thing that is clear and obvious is this:

Sano showed no embarrassment whatsoever, as if he were reaching into his own pocket, he took out Gin's wallet and took a considerable amount of cash from it.

...Could this guy be any more shameless?!

Gin, finally snapping out of his daze, twitched at the corner of his eye. Sano's actions had been so natural that he hadn't even noticed anything amiss for a moment.

Otherwise.

Gin could never just stand by and watch Sano take so much money from his pocket and spend it on something so incomprehensible.

However, since the money had already been spent, Gin couldn't bring himself to snatch it back from the waiter, so he could only follow along, feeling frustrated.

"...Why did you use my money just now?"

Gin, still unable to swallow his anger, asked in a muffled voice.

"Because I only have Japanese yen on me, not US dollars."
