Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Of course, even if they knew, Sano wouldn't find it strange.

Women, you know.

In his past life, Sano had overheard the girls in his class discussing all sorts of strange topics in private, such as... jokes and shipping couples.

Sano didn't seem to have much of an aversion to this.

Because most people are quite well-mannered, and their private conversations aren't about spreading rumors.

If you say it out loud, it's more like a joke.

Even Sano herself, let alone girls, sometimes talks to her male friends about being gay or something like that.

Later, when Sano was bored and looking for a novel to read, he accidentally opened it...

The gateway to a certain category.

Sano was even more accepting of this... of course, he just respected it.

They're not actually gay.

Of course, Sano had no idea what Chianti was thinking.

Completely exhausted, Sano slept until the afternoon of the following day.

After getting up, I subconsciously touched my face.

Yes, it's smooth and delicate, like solidified cream.

After smacking his lips, Sano got up to wash up and glanced at the pile of instant noodles.

I'm going out to have a proper meal.

"Grass."

The moment he pushed open the door, the blinding sunset forced Sano to raise his hand to shield his eyes.

Why is the sunset so red today?

After tilting his neck to the side, Sano, having adjusted, locked the door and went downstairs.

As soon as he turned the corner, Sano saw two familiar figures, one tall and one short.

Ran Mouri and that little girl.

Beside them was a young man who looked like a thug, with an arrogant and irritable expression.

The two seemed to be arguing about something.

As the argument escalated, the man even considered physically attacking Ran Mouri.

Sano was naturally watching with a "let's see what happens" attitude... to see how that guy would get kicked away later.

However, before Ran Mouri could do anything...

Then another figure appeared.

He grabbed the man by the back of his collar with his large hand, instantly lifting his feet off the ground.

"Hey hey..."

In a panic, the man turned around and met Little Fatty's gaze.

"My mom said that anyone who bullies children or girls is a bad person!"

Little Fatty finished speaking fiercely.

They threw the man out like a little chick, leaving him dazed and confused.

It was obvious that Little Fatty possessed terrifying strength commensurate with his size.

wrong.

Generally speaking, people of this size probably don't have that much strength.

Sano has serious doubts.

Is this guy's burst damage comparable to his Black Cat disguise?

Still not right.

Burst attribute affects Strength, but Strength does not represent burst attribute...

all in all.

This chubby little guy is quite scary.

Just when Sano thought there was no hope left, surprisingly, after throwing the man away, the chubby guy rushed over again, grabbed the man by the collar, and started punching him repeatedly, even crying as he did so.

"You can't bully people! My mom said you can't bully people!!"

...Who the hell is bullying whom here??

Looking at the strange scene not far away, Sano's brain went blank for a few seconds before he finally realized that he couldn't treat Little Fatty as a normal person.

Seeing that the man's face was distorted and deformed from being punched twice, and estimating that a few more punches would send him to the ICU, Sano's eyes twitched, but he still went over.

"Hey, hey, that's enough, that's enough! You'll die if you keep hitting me!"

Sano tried to grab the chubby guy, but the guy was too strong. He was definitely not going to be able to stop him unless he was wearing a thug suit or a special forces uniform.

Even Ran Mouri, who was behind them, reacted and rushed forward to help.

It still wasn't very useful.

The little girl also came to help... which is practically useless.

In the end, Sano brought up the fat boy's older brother to intimidate him, which calmed the guy down a bit and made him stop torturing the other person.

Sano glanced at the chubby boy sitting by the wall, still sniffling, being comforted by the little girl, and then at the unconscious, unrecognizable young man on the ground.

...This was the first time Sano had ever seen such a fierce guy.

"Sir, I've already called the police, and the ambulance has arrived."

After putting her phone away, Ran Mouri looked at the chubby boy with some hesitation: "That person, senior, do you know him? Won't there be any problems?"

"I'd say we know each other."

Sano lit a cigarette: "There are definitely problems, but they shouldn't be too big, because he... has some mental issues, and I guess this isn't the first time."

"I see..."

Ran Mouri nodded, while Sano asked, "But why did you come here to find me?"

"what."

Ran Mouri's eyes showed a hint of hesitation: "There's something I'd like to talk to you about, senior. Do you have time?"

"I was just about to go have dinner. Have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat together and chat at the dinner table."

As he spoke, Sano looked at the little girl and the chubby boy over there.

...Let's not talk to those two. Putting aside the possibility that the police might need to take Little Fatty away temporarily when they arrive, just look at his condition.

Treating him to a meal might make Sano's heart bleed.

After thinking for a moment, Sano casually made a phone call to Ito Taka.

A moment later, a police car and the golden retriever Ah Yin arrived one after the other.

Thank you.

A-Gin thanked Sano, and then left with Little Fatty in the police car.

Look at his practiced manner and calm demeanor.

This shouldn't be the first time, and there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Let's go."

Sano turned his gaze to the little girl whose face showed a hint of worry, and patted her head: "Alright, it's nothing, come eat with us."

"Oh……"

Arriving at a ramen shop, Sano ate his noodles while listening to Ran Mouri explain the situation.

...Actually, there's not much to say.

Last night, during a farewell party for Jodie at her house, Ran Mouri unexpectedly discovered some strange photos behind the mirror in Jodie's bathroom.

The photo includes Ran Mouri, Conan, and Ai Haibara.

This undoubtedly put the young girl on her guard.

After much deliberation, Ran Mouri decided to discuss with Sano what to do.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the little girl being scolded not far away.

Ran Mouri stepped forward, filled with righteous indignation, ready to perform a heroic act.

But to my surprise, Little Fatty beat me to it...

"...I didn't touch those photos, but I took pictures of them with my phone. Please take a look, senior."

Sano glanced at the photos on Ran Mouri's phone and slurped down the last bite of noodles.

"So, what are you planning to do?"

When Sano asked her, Ran Mouri picked at her fingers and said, "I'm not really sure either. I feel like Ms. Jodie is actually a good person, but there's more than just me in her photos. Just in case, I think it's better to be cautious... Should I call the police?"

Sano stroked his chin: "Have you discussed this with anyone else?"

Ran Mouri shook her head to indicate no.

"Then let's leave it at that."

Sano offered his advice: "Leave this matter to me. Don't act rashly. Wait until I have investigated the situation and then decide on the direction accordingly."

Is that okay?

After pondering for a few seconds, Ran Mouri nodded in agreement with Sano's decision, then stood up, bowed, and thanked him: "Then I'll leave this matter to you, senpai."

"Ah."

After seeing Ran off, Sano went home with the little girl.

But halfway through, Sano received another text message. He opened it and took a look.
