Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

As Xiao Hei wished, Sano, in a good mood, agreed to the small favor.

"Okay, boss, thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, Sano took out his phone, but his gaze turned to the little girl next to him.

"Hey, have you seen that Ragdoll cat from last time with Little Fatty lately?"

"what?"

The little girl pulled her head out, thought for a few seconds, scratched the back of her head, and replied, "I saw it once a few days ago, but I didn't touch it. It ran away from a distance of about 80 feet. I haven't seen it in the last two days."

"Ah."

Sano nodded and continued sending text messages.

"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, bye-bye, Uncle!"

There was something to do, but it wasn't a mission; it wasn't Sano's usual workday yet.

Xiao Hei's final effect has finally been achieved.

For Sano, it was a good thing, neither too good nor too bad, making this otherwise ordinary day a little better.

An additional "good luck" setting has been added.

Therefore, on a whim, Sano decided to "press his advantage and strike while the iron is hot."

"Random enhancement in progress. Congratulations, host, your bandages have been enhanced successfully..."

bandage?

Sano, who was going downstairs, paused. Was this time it equipment for healing?

……Wait a moment.

Sano withdrew his foot, pulled out the map again, and confirmed that the bandages here were the same ones he had just taken out to use on the little girl.

He sighed.

I habitually headed towards the old map and forgot where my equipment was or even that I hadn't checked it.

Sano turned back and went upstairs again.

"Ok?"

The little girl poked her head out again, puzzled, and asked, "Uncle, why are you back again?"

"I forgot something."

"Oh."

Upon arriving home, Sano picked up the bandages that hadn't been put away yet.

Reinforcement item name: Martial Arts Bandage.

Grade: B.

effect:

Martial artist (after having these bandages wrapped around both hands, your martial arts level will be elevated to the pinnacle of the Japanese martial arts world).

Restrictions: None.

Note: One punch can settle the storm, and there are no gods left in the world!

...It only has one effect again, but compared to last time, this time the effect is better.

That makes things much simpler and clearer.

And it's strong enough to be simple.

You can tell from that slightly cringeworthy note that this thing is at its peak.

It is quite similar to the special attack uniform, and it is also the most suitable for it.

Sano pulled out the bandages and wrapped them around his two fists before realizing what was happening.

My equipment is not this bundle of bandages.

It's just these two pieces tied to my hands.

After clenching his fist, Sano casually punched the air twice, and as if it were an instinct etched into his bones, his muscles began to move and correct themselves on their own.

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Each punch pierced the wind, its power far exceeding that of normal circumstances.

Martial arts.

This is a very general concept.

Specific factions share similarities, but also have their differences.

Sano doesn't know much about this because he hasn't had any systematic or in-depth experience with it.

However, it seems that this thing is defined as "martial arts".

It's similar to what Gin taught us, a kind of hodgepodge?

As for the level.

As mentioned above, it is "the pinnacle of Japanese martial arts".

This is similar to the special attack uniform, which uses the adjective "apex".

This was enough for Sano to know that it meant being on par with the strongest.

The strongest martial artist in Japan.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the person Sano is thinking of.

...I originally thought it would be a medical support device, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Because the effect is so simple, there's no need to even go to the old map.

Sano looked at the bandage on his hand, pondered for a few seconds, and then a thought struck him.

"Shh!"

The white bandages instantly turned into black gloves.

...This actually works?

Sano raised an eyebrow, made the corrections, and put the bandage back into his backpack.

"Hey, I'm about to go get lunch, wanna come together?"

After pushing open the door, Sano asked the little girl who was still staring in disbelief.

"Ok?"

The little girl poked her head out again, asking in confusion, "But Uncle, didn't you just say you had something to take care of?"

Chapter 480, 483, You brat, you've abandoned your post without permission?

"It's all over now."

Sano locked the door: "Are you going or not?"

"Go! Go! Go!"

……

During lunch break.

Sano received a text message from Makoto Kyogoku.

"Senior, I'm going back to Japan."

...This text message looks familiar...?

Sano thought for a moment, "Oh, it seems there are quite a lot of people returning to their home countries these days."

"so what?"

"...I'm currently in Gunma Prefecture. I'd like to ask you, senpai, when Sonoko will be coming here. She sent me a very strange text message. But please, senpai, don't tell her that I'm the one who asked her."

Sano smacked his chopsticks.

"So, you've already returned to China, and because of a strange, meaningless text message, you didn't contact me right away after you returned. Now you're contacting me because you can't understand the text message, and you even want to cheat and get the answer through me?"

Looking at the densely packed text messages Sano sent back, which read like short essays.

Kyogoku Makoto remained silent for a moment.

After a long while, he cautiously replied.

"Senior, are you... angry?"

"Oh, please don't! How could I dare? It's perfectly normal for a young master like you to be a little busy."

Sano grinned, shaking his leg as he quickly replied in a sarcastic tone, relying on his fast hand movements.

Looking at Makoto Kyogoku on the other end, who kept getting the message "The other party is typing..." and failed to reply even after more than ten attempts, Sano's grin widened even further.

The little girl sitting opposite was completely bewildered and blinked.

How can someone laugh so wickedly?

...Sano wasn't really angry, firstly because he wasn't that jealous.

Secondly, even if Sano is jealous, he shouldn't be jealous of Kyogoku Makoto.

Even if it were Rena Mizunashi instead, there would still be a slight chance.

Not to mention, given Kyogoku Makoto's personality and condition, this is a normal phenomenon.

Makoto Kyogoku is indeed very busy abroad.

Even his connection with Sonoko Suzuki wasn't particularly close.

Sonoko Suzuki has complained about this quite a bit.

I occasionally return to China, but it's mostly for Sonoko Suzuki.
