Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

"I think I left the gas stove on."

"..."

"what?"

Shuichi Akai and the others experienced a momentary mental freeze.

"In short, that's it. Let's call it a day and meet up again next time."

As expected, after Sano made such a declaration, he received a notification that the mission was completed.

Although there is only one.

That is the task of ensuring the survival of Vermouth's side.

As for the one involving Shuichi Akai and Conan, it still exists.

But that's not surprising at all.

After all, it's true that Sano, as a dangerous factor, affects everyone.

However, this does not mean that the only danger factor is Sano.

Sano is gone, but the battle will definitely continue.

Based on the situation, it appears to be a two-on-one situation between Vermouth and Calvados.

Even if Shuichi Akai could do the work of three people, there would still be four burdens.

It would be a miracle if one person could win against four opponents.

Just as Sano turned to leave, his gaze met that of Ai Haibara, who was sitting blankly on the ground, holding Ran Mouri's head.

"..."

Their eyes should have just brushed past each other, but Sano stopped.

You look somewhat familiar.

Upon hearing this, Vermouth and the others were taken aback at first, and then became tense again.

...In fact, logically speaking, since Sano suddenly wanted to run away and seemed interested in Ai Haibara, Vermouth should have told him the true identity of this fake loli.

In this way, it might be possible to get Sano to stay and help.

The premise is... that this guy staying would actually be helpful, not a hindrance.

We finally got rid of this plague, how could we possibly bring it back?

Therefore, Vermouth chose to remain silent.

However, this confirmed at least one thing for Vermouth.

That is, although Rye was here tonight, he didn't seem to understand the whole story, or even that.

Know nothing.

Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have failed to recognize Ai Haibara.

As for Ai Haibara herself... her mind was still blank, and she didn't hear what Sano said at all.

"Oh, right."

Sano suddenly turned his gaze to Shuichi Akai: "If I remember correctly, you dated Akemi Miyano when you were trying to infiltrate the organization, right?"

Ok?

Everyone present was surprised that Sano would suddenly bring up such a topic.

Before Shuichi Akai could do anything, Sano laughed again: "Then do you know where Akemi Miyano is right now? I know, because..."

"Just as I killed her, I also disposed of her body."

Sano raised his hand and patted the back of his neck, his eyes full of provocation: "Use that thing that just blew you up, bang, and split her in two right here."

Seeing Sano's arrogant provocation, Vermouth and the others unconsciously underwent subtle changes in their expressions... because they couldn't figure out what Shuichi Akai was thinking.

What if Shuichi Akai still harbors feelings for Akemi Miyano?

Successfully provoked, they launched an attack.

That would undoubtedly bring this big problem, which was just about to disappear, back again.

Although I don't quite understand why the other party suddenly wanted to run away.

Even if the other party stays, the group doesn't feel there's absolutely no hope.

If they could, none of them would want to leave such a time bomb here.

Vermouth stared warily at Shuichi Akai... If things went wrong later, she wouldn't care about anything else and would have to drag Conan and Ran away first.

However, after remaining silent with a blank expression for a while, Shuichi Akai ultimately did not lose control.

"Yeah."

Shuichi Akai asked calmly, "So, what are you trying to say?"

"It's nothing, I just think you're a pretty lousy person."

Sano shrugged, picked up the hat that had fallen to the ground, dusted it off, and turned to leave.

"And one more thing."

Sano turned around and smiled: "Although I can't play with you anymore, I've left you a gift: a fireworks show. Enjoy it while you can."

"Varied……"

Before Vermouth and the others could react...

Sano snapped his fingers.

A burst of flames and roars erupted in an instant.

The scattered containers, piled up like foam, either shattered into pieces or flew off into the air.

From the point where Sano's rye vest appeared, near Calvados, all the way to the ground where Shuichi Akai, Vermouth, and the others were.

It looked as if a bombing line had been formed.

...So this guy had been planning this all along?

Hideaki Akai's expression was grave.

Fortunately, these bombs weren't particularly powerful, and the distance wasn't that close.

Apart from their hair being blown around by the aftershocks, no one present was actually affected.

But everyone knew very well.

If the other party really gets serious, then anything—whether it's the power of the bomb, its location, or everyone's own position—will be altered.

So the final result will probably be... total annihilation.

Were those lollipop-shaped miniature bombs just a decoy?

Is the purpose to distract oneself?

While leaving behind stereotypes, they also take the opportunity to plant bombs.

This guy...

The group, realizing they had just teetered on the brink of death, came to their senses.

Sano was nowhere to be seen.

Of course, Sano didn't actually leave.

After all, the mission to ensure the safety of Shuichi Akai and Conan's side is not yet over.

After Sano's original body left, the long-awaited clone immediately appeared.

"Hey everyone, good evening. You guys seem to be having a lot of fun."

After letting out a long sigh of relief, Vermouth was originally planning to deal with Shuichi Akai together with Calvados, but unexpectedly a figure approached from the moonlight.

"...Kurosawai."

Vermouth's face instantly turned ugly.

If it were just Shuichi Akai alone, Vermouth might still have the confidence to put up a fight.

But now another guy has emerged who is just as difficult to deal with, or even more so.

Especially those explosions just now, they were really quite loud.

It's hard not to attract the attention of unrelated people, and then draw the attention of the Japanese police.

Supported by multiple factors.

This finally made Vermouth give up any further intentions.

Ai Haibara and Vermouth definitely can't take them with them.

The important thing now is to figure out how to leave safely.

Vermouth glanced furtively at Conan lying on the ground; he was the hostage closest to her.

Although Vermouth will not harm Conan, she will even protect the boy instead.

But others are unaware of this hidden truth.

Using them as hostages, we're not afraid these "good people" won't take the bait.

With that thought in mind, Vermouth took a step, but the next second a car flew over as if it had gone out of control... Okay.

Actually, it should be said that it slid over or crashed into us.

"boom!!"

The car that Vermouth was driving collided head-on with the car that Judy was driving.

Not to mention Vermouth, even Conan, who was lying next to the car, was almost pulled under the car.

Stiffly turning his head, he saw the man retract his foot, which was faintly crackling with electricity, and wear a hypocritical adult smile: "Don't move, or I don't know if my next kick will land on your head."
