Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Sano saw the little girl squatting with the chubby boy.

The two people were rubbing the head of a white ragdoll cat with curious expressions.

This cat looks familiar.

Sano moved closer, and the plush toy immediately meowed and came to his feet.

...It really does seem to be Xiao Hei's rag doll?

what's the situation?

Has Xiao Hei gotten tired of playing around and started abandoning her after starting something?

Sano thought for a moment, then realized that it had been quite a while since he had contacted Xiao Hei.

Let alone meeting in person.

After all, the other two living equipment that Sano currently has are much stronger than Xiao Hei, both in terms of effectiveness and biological advantages.

That thing is big and can't fly.

Space tunnels aren't only opened by Xiao Hei.

What has that bastard been up to lately?

Sano looked at the plush toy on the ground. It didn't seem hungry. Was it looking for... the black cat?

Ok?

No, that's not right. If you look at it this way...

Xiao Hei shouldn't have started something and then abandoned it; instead, he should have realized his mistake and turned back to the right path.

Sano looked at the two figures, one big and one small, who had greeted him and were now staring longingly at the plush toy at his feet. After thinking for a moment, he decided to squat down and start rubbing the cat with them. As for the plush toy that hadn't seen the black cat, whether it wanted to be rubbed or not, well, it was just a little kitten.

Whether they like it or not, aren't they still being manipulated at will?

Sano took out two lollipops and gave them to the two of them, while contacting Xiao Hei.

What have you been busy with lately?

"They're fighting, boss!"

"fight?"

Sano was taken aback: "Are there still stray dogs in Tokyo these days? Who are you going to fight?"

"Fight the dogs at the rescue center!"

Xiao Hei said matter-of-factly, "Boss, aren't you the boss of the Black Reaper? Of course I have to learn from you. Otherwise, if word gets out that the Black Reaper's dog isn't the boss of the Tokyo stray dogs, how embarrassing would that be!"

Sano: "..."

I never would have guessed that this bastard would have such a... well, I should say a competitive spirit.

"When did you start doing this?"

When asked about Sano's question, Kuro replied that it all started from the establishment of the rescue station.

"Has it been this long? Even if you come one dog at a time, shouldn't you have finished by now?"

"You're way behind, boss. It's only a little over half."

Sano typed another string of dots: "How many dogs have you killed in a day? Why is your progress so slow?"

"A few dozen or a hundred a day, it's alright, we'll take it slow."

Dozens or hundreds a day?

While it wasn't exactly rushed, it wasn't particularly lazy either.

Sano frowned and mentally calculated the dates... Damn it, these chaotic dates are impossible to keep track of, but one thing is certain: Xiao Hei'e must have worked for at least four figures of dogs at the rescue station.

It seems there are many more stray dogs in Tokyo than I imagined.

After tilting his head, Sano asked again, "So, you're not going to keep your doll?"

"A doll?"

Xiao Hei asked in surprise, "No, doesn't it come back every two days?"

Ok?

Sano was taken aback again.

Has this rag doll already gone to the rescue center?

Looking down, the fur, though still dirty, wasn't as dirty as before.

It must have been washed, but it got dirty again.

So he's another guy who likes to wander.

"So you're just letting it... run around outside all by itself?"

"Don't worry, boss, it's very agile and there won't be any danger."

Hearing that even Xiao Hei himself didn't care, Sano naturally didn't say anything more.

Just as Sano was about to mute his microphone, another "voice" suddenly joined the channel.

"Owner?"

Um? ?

"...Big Black? Is something wrong?"

Daikoku was assigned by Sano to keep an eye on the hospital where Rena Mizunashi was staying.

It wasn't that Sano was concerned about Rena Mizunashi's condition.

The FBI agents were all gathered there just to keep an eye on Rena Mizunashi.

Having eyes watching over things will be very convenient if needed.

Just as Sano thought that something had happened to Dahei, which was why it contacted him, it replied, "No, I just suddenly heard your voice and Xiaohei's voice, so I tried to join in."

...Did you hear your own voice and Xiao Hei's voice?

Sano blinked.

Wow, so this kind of mental communication can even open a team channel?

Sano thought they could only chat privately.

"Can Erhei hear me?"

Sano immediately tried to pull Erhei into the channel again.

Unfortunately, there was no response.

It seems that this is a skill that requires a specific opportunity to master.

"...Little Black, you're the oldest here, a senior, but you're the only one who didn't use all your abilities. Even with things like this, which require skill, Big Black used them first."

Sano sighed: "You're a bit lame."

Xiao Hei: "..."

Big Black: "..."

To be honest, even Dahei, who was praised, wasn't particularly happy.

Isn't this just inviting trouble for myself? How embarrassing!

As for Xiao Hei, it goes without saying that it's practically equivalent to being muted.

...It might be good to give this guy a good jolt.

Although in terms of effectiveness, Xiao Hei's side is entirely proactive and doesn't often stay by Sano's side like Da Hei and Er Hei, its progress is slow.

It's always not true.

Sano waited a few seconds but didn't get a reply from Kuro, so he assumed that the guy was full of guilt and self-blame and was determined to work hard and persevere.

"That's it, keep it up."

"Yes……"

After a rhythm similar to that of a homeroom teacher criticizing a student.

Sano stopped wasting time on the doll.

He casually tossed the cat, which was clinging to his trouser leg, to the duo.

Sano then got up and went home for dinner.

then.

Sano left and headed to the meeting place he had arranged with Gin.

Chapter 464, 467, Gin: My God, My Dream Lover

But after that incident, Sano thought of Amuro Tooru, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

After thinking for a moment, Sano took out his phone and decided to send a text message to Amuro Tooru.

Before I could even start sending that text message, another one from Amuro Tooru arrived.

“I’ll be abroad for a longer time than I expected. You stay in China and behave yourself. If there’s any emergency, call me anytime.”

...You've gone abroad again?

Sano stroked his chin, wondering if Gin thought the doctor was unreliable.

Are they planning to have Amuro Tooru bring another one back?

After tilting his head slightly, Sano replied with "Okay," and then continued to look for Gin.

In the end, Sano was in Gin's car.

I received a friendly inquiry from Gin.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation for what happened at the Teitan High School gate at noon?"

Gin is too lazy to even pull out his gun now.
