Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Otherwise Akai Shuichi wouldn't think so.

A guy like Rye wouldn't care about any small fry.

...Tokyo is really chaotic these days. I've only been away for a short time, and now there are all sorts of monsters and demons.

They sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Thinking of this, Shuichi Akai couldn't help but turn around and glance at Conan.

Perhaps this kid can be considered one of them?

……

"Hello, Mr. Shinichiro Sano."

When Sano pushed open the door, standing outside was a woman in her thirties, dressed in a kimono with her hair neatly styled, looking like a castle lord's wife from ancient times.

It must be said that this woman is very beautiful and has a great temperament.

This hairstyle... to be honest, Sano doesn't really like it.

of course.

Whether or not Sano likes others.

It has nothing to do with Sano.

Sano scratched his messy hair: "Who are you?"

"My surname is Ikeba, and my full name is Ikeba Shizuka."

Ikeba Shizuka gave a slight bow as a greeting, and then got straight to the point.

"To be honest, I wanted to ask the famous detective Kogoro Mouri to help me find someone, but when I called him, he didn't seem very willing... I heard that Mr. Sano and Mr. Mouri are master and apprentice, so I thought I'd find you first, and then with your introduction, he might be able to help me take on this case because of your relationship."

After listening to a bunch of nonsense from Ikeba Shizuka.

Sano chose to close the door directly.

"Hey hey..."

Chibo Jinghua immediately lost her composure and quickly used her fan to stop the door from closing, saying...

"Don't rush, let me finish. I won't let you come for nothing, there's a referral fee!"

Sano quickly released the door, raising an eyebrow.

The meaning is self-evident—inspect the goods first.

Chibo Jinghua sighed somewhat helplessly and took out an envelope from her pocket.

Sano took the envelope and glanced at it.

Ok……

"Let's go, let's set off!"

Sano is so lazy that he doesn't even bother to brush his teeth or wash his face anymore.

The rule is to get paid to do things; the more money you pay, the better and faster you have to get things done.

This is also a rule.

As everyone knows, Sano has always been the most law-abiding... well.

"How did you get here? Did you drive?"

After going downstairs, Sano asked.

"No, I came by taxi, I'll take a taxi there... I'll pay for the fare."

"That's what Ikebab Shizuka said."

"Then forget it, take my car, I'll cover the gas, consider it a gift."

Sano waved his hand and said.

"……OK."

Ikeba Shizuka agreed, somewhat surprised.

Then Sano pulled out his Harley, which was almost covered in dust, from a room on the first floor... This room on the first floor was rented by him.

It's just for storing cars and some miscellaneous items.

It's essentially a combination of a garage and a storage room.

As for this Harley...

The main problem is that it doesn't provide shelter from the wind and rain; it's freezing cold in cold weather and unbearably hot in hot weather.

That's why Sano left it here to gather dust.

Ikenami Shizuka glanced at the retro motorcycle under Sano's butt, then looked down at her even more retro kimono and made a series of dots.

Wearing a kimono while riding a motorcycle.

Something just feels off.

After speeding along, Sano and his companion arrived at the Mori Detective Agency.

After knocking on the door and entering the house.

Sano didn't waste any words and let Ikenami Shizuka explain the situation herself.

...Originally looking disheveled, Kogoro Mouri was sitting behind his desk watching horse races when he heard that Sano had brought him a client.

I still just find it troublesome.

But after turning around and seeing Shizuka Ikemura's face.

In an instant, the contest between Vermouth and Kaito Kuroba took place.

We also need to change clothes even faster.

"Hello, miss. I am the famous detective, Kogoro Mouri."

His messy, greasy hair was transformed into a clean, slicked-back style, his wrinkled suit was replaced with a shiny white one, and even his stubble was cleaned up.

...Could this old man be pretending to be weak while actually being strong?

Sano opened the door and took the gift, letting the gift be blown into his head. He then proceeded to... (The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly.)

"Sano."

Conan moved closer to Sano and asked curiously, "Who exactly is she?"

"Who knows?"

Sano impatiently pushed Conan away and started eating breakfast.

Seeing this, Conan had no choice but to go over to Kogoro Mouri again.

Ikeba Shizuka first gave a brief self-introduction.

Next, he explained the details of the commission he had made.

It's actually very simple; it's nothing more than finding someone and why you're looking for someone.

However, the contents of the document were something that Kogoro Mouri was very concerned about.

Because Shizuka Ikenami is looking for a male classmate from her junior high school days.

"I wonder what your interests are?"

"I asked Kogoro Mouri."

"Um, I usually like to knit sweaters."

"Ikenami Shizuka replied."

"Ah, that's the same interest as my mother."

Ran Mouri chimed in.

"Then I must think you're very good at cooking, right?"

Kogoro Mouri asked again.

"No, actually I'm not very good at cooking. I even cut my hand because of it yesterday."

Shizuka Ikemura showed off the band-aid on her finger.

"Haha, that's just like my mother."

Ran Mouri emphasized the word "mother" again.

Kogoro Mouri gave Ran Mouri a sidelong glance, then turned around and laughed, "Well, that's actually quite normal. After all, a person is more charming when they have both strengths and weaknesses. It's okay if you can't cook."

"Yes, yes, my mother is the same way."

Kogoro Mouri's lips twitched, and he and Ran Mouri exchanged deadpan glances.

"Hehe, Mr. Mori is joking. I really don't have any merits, otherwise I wouldn't still be all alone."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's face lit up with surprise and delight.

"Hey, that's narrow-minded. You're single, how can you blame yourself? It's clearly because the men around you aren't good enough!"

"Yes, yes, my mother is the same..."

"...That's enough!"

Kogoro Mouri finally reached his breaking point.

The father and daughter immediately began staring at each other.

However, before Kogoro Mouri could swallow his anger again...

Sitting opposite her, Ikeba Shizuka suddenly started coughing again.

"...What's wrong, Miss Jinghua? Have you caught a cold?"

"Oh no, it's just that I have some problems with my bronchi, and I cough when I come into contact with dust or something."

"Then let's talk somewhere else."

Just after Sano finished breakfast, the group of five went downstairs to Anteiku.
