Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

It's still quite easy.

Of course, Sano let go of her hand.

This caused Ai Haibara, who was desperately trying to pry open the door, to lose her balance and fall backward.

Finally, he sat down on the ground.

"..."

Ai Haibara looked up with a dark expression, while Sano shrugged: "You can't blame me for this. I was just trying to let you in, why did you use so much force?"

After saying that, Sano turned around, sat down, and began to eat.

Ai Haibara could only get up, dust herself off, and go inside.

"So, what exactly do you want from me?"

Ai Haibara glanced at Sano's computer and said, "It's because of Edogawa."

Edogawa?

What is that? A place name?

Realizing that this was the surname of the plague god, Sano stuffed a fried shrimp into his mouth, raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong? What trouble has that guy gotten into this time?"

"It's not that guy, it's both of you."

Ai Haibara rubbed her temples: "I'm telling you, it's one thing for that guy to be mentally challenged, but why did you also become mentally challenged and block his number?"

Are you a primary school student?

Sano picked up another rice ball: "Since you and he can both be considered elementary school students, why can't I be considered an elementary school student? One should be fair."

Ai Haibara was speechless and choked with emotion.

"It's about time they made peace."

Haibara sighed and said, "I already know what happened. I also texted Ran Mouri and know that you knew she was alright, which is why you didn't go to check on her. Although Edogawa realized his mistake after finding out, he was just too embarrassed to apologize to you. But I still want to ask you."

“Generally speaking, if a close friend is sick, even if you know it's nothing serious, you should at least go and visit them. Of course, I'm not saying you did anything wrong.”

Ai Haibara carefully considered her words: "Should I say that I didn't do a good enough job?"

"I'm really sorry that you had such high expectations of me."

Sano, his mouth full of rice balls, casually replied to the fake loli's words.

Ai Haibara clicked her tongue, a strange, self-deprecating sarcasm in her voice.

Why did I have to get so stupidly involved in this?

"okay."

After finishing his meal, Sano threw the lunchbox back to Ai Haibara: "If you came here to persuade me, then there's no need. I'm not like that guy. I'm not a real child, and I'm not going to get angry over something so trivial."

...Come on, show me your blocking history before you speak.

Ai Haibara felt a pang of heartache: "Then remember to remove him from the blacklist."

"No."

Ai Haibara: "..."

Sano answered with exceptional decisiveness, and Ai Haibara's points were also exceptionally neat.

"Didn't you just say you weren't angry?"

"Whether you're angry or not has nothing to do with being blacklisted."

Sano Yuzai said, "I blocked him because he was too annoying. He kept bombarding me with spam messages. Besides, my internal card isn't unlimited. Do you expect me to take time out of my schedule to clean up his spam?"

Is that guy really that annoying?

Ai Haibara frowned, because in her memory, she rarely texted Conan.

It might be because there are boys on both sides.

In addition, Sano's sense of security made Conan feel that the other party was the "captain".

Or is it even a misconception of "parents"?

So when something happens, you want to talk about it... which does seem quite annoying.

Ai Haibara thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll ask him to text you less in the future and only contact you at important moments. How about you remove him from your blacklist?"

Sano stared at Ai Haibara: "You care about him that much?"

Ai Haibara twitched her lips and forced a smile, saying, "I'm not concerned about him. I'm afraid that the two of you will get into a fight and it will affect me... like revealing his identity as Shinichi Kudo."

"In your eyes, am I that inconsiderate?"

Sano posed another probing question, while Ai Haibara smiled and winked.

It can be considered a tacit agreement.

Oh.

Sano also twitched the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I want to eat curry rice tomorrow."

Ai Haibara: "?"

This could be considered a deal... well, isn't this actually a threat?

Why should I be blackmailed because of someone else?

Ai Haibara's face darkened again, and she firmly stated that she would never be coerced into bowing to the forces of evil. As a result, Sano naturally agreed and opened the door for her.

Looking at the open door, Ai Haibara made another row of dots.

...People are just so perverse; even when it's none of their business, they feel they can't ignore it.

After taking a deep breath, Ai Haibara held up her index finger to Sano: "One curry rice."

Seeing that Ai Haibara had actually compromised, Sano showed a hint of surprise on his face.

A few seconds later, he said definitively, "A curry rice bowl, for lunch."

"Row."

After watching Ai Haibara leave, Sano clicked his tongue in amazement.

This was both unexpected and yet perfectly reasonable.

After all, Conan is a plague god, always looking like a clueless fool. Anyone who knows him even slightly or has a deep relationship with him would find him hard to talk about.

Most people will likely treat this guy as a "junior," especially given his visually appealing appearance.

However, Ai Haibara will play this role.

That's a bit surprising.

Does maternal love exist from a young age?

After touching his chin, Sano stopped thinking about it; as long as he could eat, that was enough.

Why bother with all that?

After working on the computer for a while, Sano turned it off, got up, and went out.

Finally, I received two missions from Gin.

Gin drove away immediately after delivering the mission... He was in a hurry, his attention was scattered, and he looked like he wasn't in a good mood.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Because Gin has maintained this state for several days.

As for the reason...

That's naturally because of Sano... strictly speaking, it's Kurosawa, or even more strictly.

It's the Black Mask.

Gin knew the name Kurosawa and strongly suspected it was a pseudonym.

Gin also knew that Kurosawa was the Black Mask, but the truth of the matter was questionable. He had never even seen the person in person; it was all based on Vermouth's words. Whether he actually existed was a question.

But things are different now.

Kurosawa stepped forward casually.

He even transformed into a black mask in front of countless viewers watching a live news broadcast on television.

Even if Gin doesn't want to believe it, he has no choice but to.

After the initial shock and disbelief, Gin stared at the video report from that day, watching it dozens of times, and then used all the permissions at his disposal.

They began to investigate the details of this Kurosawa.

Unfortunately... nothing was gained, and there is no way there will be any gain.

Although this could be said to be within Gin's expectations.

It's one thing to be unable to predict something, but it's quite another to be able to accept it.

This is not.

Besides my daily work, I'm constantly bothered by the fact that I can't find Kurosawa.

Sano clicked his tongue in amazement as he watched Gin leave.

Actually, it's good to have your boss find something to do that's not really useful, otherwise they might get so bored that they'll cause some other trouble.

...What else can we do?

Tell Gin to stop looking, there's no way he'll find it?

Given Gin's current bewitched state, it's no wonder he wouldn't listen to anything.

Or you could tell Gin that there's no need to look anymore, that Kurosawa is actually right in front of him...

Ok?

Thinking about it now, it seems quite... if there's a chance in the future.

Let's just play around with it like this.

Turning back, Sano went to complete some quests.
