Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

If not, then the original risk factors have not been completely eliminated?

Sano is absolutely certain that he hasn't made a mistake, so the only possibility is...

His gaze quickly shifted to the fat man who had been knocked down by Ran Mouri.

This guy hadn't completely lost consciousness after all. He even took advantage of the opportunity when everyone's attention was diverted by Kyogoku Makoto's appearance to sneakily reach for the hunting rifle that had fallen to the side, attempting a desperate counterattack.

"careful!"

Because he needed to "gather" information, Makoto Kyogoku inevitably noticed this and immediately took a step forward, rushing towards the fat man at the same time as Sano.

"That damn bastard!!!"

After the previous ordeal, the fat man had truly given up and fired two bullets from his shotgun before even getting up.

The targets were naturally Sano and Kyogoku Makoto, who were charging towards them.

Unfortunately, none of them hit the target.

After dodging the two bullets that were unlikely to hit any vital organs, Sano and his companion closed in on the fat man and launched a pincer attack.

The fat man's expression instantly changed from ferocious anger to panic and confusion. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, drooling... This time he had truly lost consciousness, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it would be within a day or two.

I'm afraid he won't wake up.

"Ah Zhen!"

With the situation finally confirmed as safe, Sonoko Suzuki threw herself into Makoto Kyogoku's arms, causing the young man, who had previously looked solemn and menacing, to turn red-faced and completely flustered.

"call……"

After letting out a sigh of relief, Ran Mouri looked at Sano apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Kurosawa. I was careless just now. Thanks to you and Kyogoku-senpai for helping me, otherwise I would have been in serious trouble."

As Ran Mouri said, if it weren't for Makoto Kyogoku drawing the fire and the fat man aiming another bullet at the others, even Sano might not have been able to react effectively in that wave of attacks.

If things really turn out that way, then Ran Mouri would undoubtedly feel somewhat sorry for the trust Sano showed her during the first wave.

Of course, none of this matters.

Importantly, after hearing Ran Mouri address him as "Mr. Kurosawa," Makoto Kyogoku regained his composure and even pushed Sonoko Suzuki away.

He then began to carefully examine Sano.

"So you are, Kurosawa?"

Upon hearing Kyogoku Makoto's words, Sano raised an eyebrow and glanced at Suzuki Sonoko.

...The only person who could mention the name Kurosawa to Makoto Kyogoku would naturally be Sonoko Suzuki.

Sano doesn't know whether Sonoko Suzuki mentioned to Makoto Kyogoku that Kurosawa is the Black Mask, or whether he is interested in the Black Mask.

Sano knew that there was something wrong with the guy's eyes.

Considering that today is Valentine's Day, Suzuki Sonoko's infatuation with good-looking people, Kurosawa's excellent looks, and Kyogoku Makoto's sudden return to Japan,

Masaka...

"Um, Mr. Kurosawa, I didn't expect to see you again so soon. Did you come here specifically to rescue us? Could you give me your autograph?"

Sano looked at Suzuki Sonoko, who had quickly returned to normal after recovering from her lingering fear and had focused her attention on him because of Kyogoku Makoto's "greeting," her face clearly showing her admiration.

He couldn't help but slowly type out a line of dots.

Then I turned my head to look again.

Sure enough, you could see it on Makoto Kyogoku's face.

"gritting his teeth" and "heartbroken".

...Well, it really is Masaka.

It's surprising how jealous Makoto Kyogoku is.

After Sano reluctantly signed his autograph for Sonoko Suzuki, Makoto Kyogoku finally spoke up: "So, this is the man you chose?"

"Hey?"

Sonoko Suzuki turned around, somewhat bewildered: "What do you mean?"

Makoto Kyogoku took a deep breath: "The lucky man who received the sweater you knitted and the teacup you made, and who will also receive the chocolate you made today, is this... Mr. Kurosawa, right?"

"……Why???"

While Sonoko Suzuki was bewildered, Makoto Kyogoku was completely immersed in his own sorrow.

That's right, Makoto Kyogoku came all the way from abroad because he thought Sonoko Suzuki had fallen for a man named Kurosawa, and had even prepared many gifts for him, leaving this strongest fighter in Japan heartbroken.

However, Makoto Kyogoku was too embarrassed to ask directly.

So, after steeling his resolve, Makoto Kyogoku boarded a plane back to Japan, intending to see for himself, cough cough, who this "lucky man" really was.

Besides, Makoto Kyogoku also wanted to see if the other party was worthy of Sonoko Suzuki.

After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder... Well, the main problem is that this young lady's taste is rather... unique, and she's also someone who attracts jerks.

Regardless of the reason, Makoto Kyogoku wanted to come and see for himself.

At the very least, you can't not even know who you lost to, right?

Originally, Kyogoku should have secretly observed his opponent before engaging in a duel, but he never expected to encounter him under such circumstances.

As for the results...

Chapter 391, 390, do you think I'm a chocolate wholesaler?

Although he looks a bit slovenly, he is indeed handsome, at least no worse than me. And judging from his performance just now, his strength is also quite good. He has the ability and willingness to protect Suzuki Sonoko. Both aspects indirectly demonstrate his excellent level of character and personality.

This loss was not unjustified.

...But I'm still so sad.

Kyogoku Makoto forced a straight face, but the tears in his heart were already like a vast ocean.

However, at this moment, Sonoko Suzuki had recovered from her daze and, having roughly realized what was going on, her expression gradually became strange.

Finally, he raised his finger and pointed at Makoto Kyogoku.

"That... lucky man, isn't that you?"

Makoto Kyogoku didn't even understand Sonoko Suzuki's words at first. He looked around at the finger pointing to him and, finding no one there, finally realized what was going on.

"I???"

Kyogoku Makoto, who had transformed into a beady-eyed man and a kettle, pointed at himself in disbelief.

Sonoko Suzuki is like a chick pecking at rice.

"..."

Is this crazy?

Why did they suddenly start feeding the dog food?

Sano watched from the sidelines, speechless. Did these two still not have a confirmed relationship? Otherwise, why would such a small action by Suzuki Sonoko cause such a big misunderstanding?

It's impossible that Kyogoku Makoto thought Suzuki Sonoko was so easily swayed.

...Even though things have already gone that far, they haven't officially defined their relationship yet.

That's equally outrageous.

"By the way, Zhen, did you just dodge that guy's bullet? Did you learn that abroad? You've become so amazing!"

Having cleared up the misunderstanding, Sonoko Suzuki immediately asked with some excitement.

After all, dodging bullets is something that basically only happens in movies... and for most ordinary people, whether they will ever see a gun in person is a big question. Although Sonoko Suzuki's status is quite special, the reason she has had such experiences multiple times is...

It seems that it's all thanks to Conan, that plague god.

Ran Mouri also looked at Makoto Kyogoku with some curiosity.

Makoto Kyogoku immediately explained that he had only anticipated the trajectory of the enemy's shot and dodged in advance, not actually dodging the bullets.

They also said that with Ran Mouri's reaction speed, she could do it if she concentrated.

Sano was not surprised by this at all.

There's no way around it; the special attack suit provides a significant advantage. Whether Kyogoku Makoto can truly dodge bullets is something others might not know, but Kokushi certainly does.

As for why Makoto Kyogoku's ability to "predict" is only now becoming apparent.

...Well, we'll have to see if this guy ever had the chance to "dodge bullets" back in Japan. He went abroad, got shot, and then discovered he could "dodge bullets." What's so strange about that?

However, Kyogoku Makoto's explanation made Sano the center of attention.

"Mr. Kurosawa, is this how you dodge bullets too?"

Sano glanced at Kyogoku Makoto, who remained silent.

During that last burst, this kid probably didn't have time to pay attention to his own situation, so he didn't notice that the timing of the two sides dodging bullets was actually different.

Sano was initially too lazy to explain anything.

But then I thought, if I could give Kyogoku Makoto a sense of urgency and motivate him to work harder to grow, that would be a good thing for me too.

So Sano said sarcastically, "How rude of you guys, can you stop using those opportunistic tricks to measure my skills?"

"……what?"

Sano looked at Kyogoku Makoto, who seemed somewhat surprised and confused, and spent a few seconds explaining the differences and gaps in their "bullet-dodging" skills.

This left Makoto Kyogoku momentarily stunned.

Is there really anyone in this world who can do something like this...?

Kyogoku Makoto suddenly remembered that senior who had easily dodged all of his attacks. If it was that level of "movement technique," he might actually be able to do it.

"Na na".

Just as the atmosphere at the scene was getting a little strange, Conan, who had finally had his fill of gossip, reached out and tugged at Sano's sleeve: "Uncle Kurosawa, it's understandable that Kyogoku-nii would come here, but why are you here, Uncle? Did you hear somewhere that something bad was going to happen here?"

"Or perhaps..."

Conan narrowed his eyes: "Uncle, you came here specifically for us?"

"Hey?"
