Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

...Could it be that the Silver Fox is also a fabrication by this guy?

Sano frowned; the probability of that was actually not small.

It's quite normal for cases involving the plague god to have some twists and turns.

But with this setting...

The probability of this happening will increase significantly.

Wouldn't I have made a wasted trip?

I got up really early, just to sneak in and recruit people!

Tsk, Ran Mouri and her father are really outrageous.

How could you not have noticed such an obvious logical flaw?

...If Ran Mouri had told Sano this in the first place, he would have just stayed home and gone to sleep. Why would he have bothered to come all this way just for a small chance of success?

Just as Sano was feeling a bit frustrated, Conan, who hadn't received a response yet, gradually shifted his attention to other issues.

"Hey, Kurosawa."

Conan touched his glasses, which he hadn't yet had Professor Agasa repair or update. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to bring up the incident that had almost scared him to death that day, and instead asked about something else out of curiosity.

Why did you suddenly decide to wear sunglasses?

"Ok?"

Sano snapped out of his daze and casually replied, "What, is that not allowed?"

"No, not at all..."

Conan shook his head—in everyday life, not many people wear sunglasses.

There are essentially two types of people who frequently use it as part of their outfits.

One is a serious and cold character, similar to a bodyguard.

One type is the carefree and irresponsible, mostly rich kids or something.

Kurosawa's style.

It should be considered the latter.

His already prominent features were enhanced, making him even more handsome?

...Sano adjusted his sunglasses, which were naturally modified from sniper sunglasses.

There are only extremely minute differences, less than one millimeter.

Sano can modify it back to its original state at any time if needed, for use in sniping.

That's right.

Sano plans to give the sniper sunglasses to the third vest.

Just like the cat demon form of the black cat vest.

Sano actually already had the idea of ​​giving the alias Kurosawa a new backstory.

As mentioned earlier, there is a conflict between the Kurosawa and Rye accounts, both of which require the use of the Mask accessory. When dual-accounting is required, Sano usually gives the accessory to the former, while the latter relies on other equipment.

Once or twice is fine.

After it happened so many times, Sano really started to feel uncomfortable.

After all, for someone wearing a rye vest, they need to be able to dodge bullets 100% of the time.

That's a lot.

My body can't take it.

Sometimes, after finishing his work, Sano felt so weak that he felt like he could be thrown over the shoulder by ants as soon as he stepped outside, even more so than if he had done it forty-eight times a day.

Of course, Sano can also choose to have the rye vest be used for long-range sniping.

Anyway, this concept was already introduced a long time ago.

However, this means that the other equipment on the rye vest becomes useless.

Not to mention that the various settings for the Rye Vest are too rigid.

If he suddenly only does this kind of thing, it will inevitably arouse Gin's suspicion.

Of course, regardless of which side it is, Sano actually finds sniping quite troublesome—

Because I need to bring a sniper rifle.

It's inconvenient and can easily lead to unnecessary trouble.

If the sniping aspect were improved by directly enhancing the gun itself, that would be much better... Of course, that was in the past; as for now...

Based on the size of Sano's wallet.

Unless it's a sniper cannon, it's quite easy to squeeze it in.

And of course, as mentioned before, there's the issue of equipment sharing.

This may cause some trouble.

Despite what Sano said, it shouldn't be called sharing, but rather... a transfer?

Back then, when Sano was wearing sunglasses and sniping in front of Gin, did that already arouse some of the ruthless bandit's thoughts, even though he didn't show it?

Sano was unaware of this.

But anyway, I've already played it.

That would be worse than just fixing it permanently.

Not to mention now that there's the Dimensional Wallet, and Sano's rye vest.

The upper limit will be increased significantly.

At worst, I can just look at it when I need it; it's no big deal.

Compared to principles.

Sano still prefers to improvise, just like his flexible... well, you know.

This step, however, reminded Sano of the gold-rimmed glasses worn by the black cat vest.

Sano had originally planned to add a sniper persona to the assassin's disguise if necessary, but now...

The Black Cat disguise has been strengthened, and the Kurosawa disguise has been given this setting.

Just right.

With this in mind, Sano decided that this persona would always wear sunglasses whenever it appeared, allowing for free movement at both close and long ranges.

It smells delicious.

"Alright, there's only one more stretch of road left. Let's rest here for a bit."

The destination of this hiking trip was a rest stop.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Sano and his group will have to spend the night there and head down the mountain the next day.

But if something goes wrong... a day trip, or staying in the mountains for several days... well, actually, "dying" are both possibilities.

"Hey, where is that person?"

As soon as he sat down, Conan noticed that someone was missing from the group and asked in confusion.

"They probably realized they had given themselves away and got scared, so they ran away."

The bearded man, slightly out of breath, said this.

Sano scanned the area and found that the dark-skinned college student had indeed disappeared.

...In the case of a mission, Sano would try to maintain control of the overall situation.

He'll most likely be at the very back of the hiking group, so Sano won't miss the commotion of the dark-skinned college student... but that's not a mission.

Chapters 457 and 460: Collective Blindness?

Therefore, Sano really didn't know.

When exactly did that dark-skinned college student die?

Perhaps, as the bearded man said, he sensed something was wrong and ran away.

Or perhaps.

She has become the first victim.

...Sano's current identity as Kurosawa was not recognized by the other hikers in the group, except for Ran Mouri's family.

This is not surprising at all.

Although that incident did make headlines and cause a great stir.

But firstly, the distance was too far that day.

As a result, Kurosawa's face wasn't captured very clearly in the photo.

If you've met Sano, or at least know him by his pseudonym, that's fine. But if you don't know him, it's hard to have a clear impression of him.

Secondly, there's the issue of probability.

Of all the people in Japan, how many actually read the news is a question; and of those who read the news, how many have actually seen this report is another question.

It's questionable how many of those who read this report will actually remember it... After all, there are quite a few people who forget things easily. In short...

Sano's appearance did not cause any ripples.

But that doesn't mean that no one will recognize them, even if they don't show it.

For example, that dark-skinned college student.

If that guy really is Silver Fox, and he recognizes Sano as a superhero.

Given their fear, it's not impossible that they chose to retreat.

Before Conan could speak again...
