Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

At least from Sera Masumi's personal perspective.

My anger was surging soaring! This is just too damn bullying!

"you……"

Before Sera Masumi could even explain, Sano slapped her again.

This time, even Sera Masumi's hat was slapped off by Sano.

This guy...

Sera Masumi almost shattered her back teeth.

Okay, actually Sano knows that this woman is innocent.

Well, Sano has already figured out that Sera Masumi is a woman... although as the old saying goes, "How can one rule the world if one's chest is not flat?"

But this thing is a bit too peaceful.

Well, of course that's not important. What's important is this guy's Jeet Kune Do.

It has the shadow of Shuichi Akai.

That's right, it's the shadow of Shuichi Akai, not the shadow of Jeet Kune Do.

Chapter 531, Conan: I'm trying to help you, but you want to steal my boyfriend?

Based on this alone, Sano can be certain that this guy definitely knows Shuichi Akai, and it's not just a casual acquaintance.

They're either fellow students or some other close relationship.

Therefore, Sano felt that it was okay for him to bully the other person a little.

...If you want to blame someone, blame Shuichi Akai. If he's so capable, let him come and get his revenge.

Speaking of Shuichi Akai himself, it seems he also enjoyed this treatment, right?

Wouldn't that be fairer?

Sano looked at Sera Masumi, who had nowhere left to retreat, and was just about to continue.

Then suddenly I realized something was wrong.

Because Sano had just slapped Sera Masumi's hat off, he could now look directly at her face, but that wasn't important. What really caught his attention was the girl's eyes—dark green pupils, which were quite rare, and more importantly, the shape of her eyes.

Sano felt a strange sense of familiarity towards him...

Especially the corners of the eyes, it looks like I've seen them somewhere before.

Wait a minute, this development seems a bit familiar...

Sano instantly recalled a pair of siblings with very similar eyes, and what was very similar to this pair was the younger brother.

It looks like a woman.

...No way, is this how you play it?

Sano realized that they weren't fellow disciples, but real siblings?

Shouldn't they have been beaten even more?

Sano's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, but before he could make a move, Conan, who was behind him, finally came to his senses and hurriedly called out.

"Wait a minute, Sano, he's not a pervert!!"

"what?"

Seeing Conan's anxious face, Sera Masumi calmed down considerably and said in a deep voice, "Ah, I'm definitely not a pervert. The real pervert is that guy over there."

The two best friends looked in the direction Sera Masumi pointed and saw a middle-aged man with a flustered expression and shifty eyes: "...Conan, are you serious?"

"Yes, I actually saw it just now, but I didn't have a chance to say anything before you..."

Conan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Originally, it was Sonoko Suzuki who spoke too quickly, and Ran Mouri who acted too quickly.

Conan indeed didn't have time to stop it.

Afterwards, Sera Masumi and Ran Mouri fought for two rounds, going back and forth without Sera gaining the upper hand. It seemed like Sera could stop and explain at any time, which surprised Conan and made him feel that there was no need for him to say anything more... It wasn't until Sano made his move that he was truly shocked.

That unfortunate guy who lost an arm in Izu.

Conan hasn't forgotten that, although Sano's unusual condition seemed to be a factor at the time, who would dare not take such a thing lightly?

Better safe than sorry, especially when it's a misunderstanding.

But who could have imagined that Sano would move even faster?

Conan only needed a few seconds to recall something, and he still managed to slap someone's hat off. If he had been any slower in recalling...

I don't even dare to think about it anymore.

"So that's how it is."

The two best friends turned their attention to the real pervert.

Sera Masumi reached out and pulled the hammer off the car window, handing it to Sano.

"promise."

Sano glanced at her and knew that behind Sera Masumi's actions was actually a little scheme to get him to apologize to her, but he chose to ignore it.

Instead, she walked straight toward the pervert.

Seeing this, Sera Masumi's lips twitched, but she knew in her heart that it was because she hadn't spoken up to explain in time, and instead had been interested in probing further after Ran Mouri made her move, which was why she didn't have a chance to explain later.

He could be considered to have brought this upon himself.

Therefore, Sera Masumi chose to vent her anger on the culprit.

The pervert was cornered by Sano and his gang. His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, covered in cold sweat, stammering apologies and begging for mercy.

A few minutes later.

The bus driver opened the back door, and the lecherous man, his face bruised and swollen, covered in tears and snot, was casually tossed out by Sano like trash.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'll pay you back for the car window later."

Sonoko Suzuki first apologized to the bus driver, and then she and Ran Mouri apologized to Sera Masumi—only Sano remained unmoved.

Seeing this, the two best friends could only offer a verbal apology.

...At least, neither in the misunderstanding in the first round nor in the "truth" in the second round, Sano did anything excessive.

After what just happened, the two best friends have already recalled what happened last time.

Fortunately, Sano had acted with restraint.

All that could be heard were screams, but no blood was seen... Well, the injuries on that guy's face were all inflicted by Ran Mouri and Sera Masumi, especially the latter who was the worst at hitting him.

On the contrary, Sonoko Suzuki, the person who was involved, only kicked him a couple of times from behind.

Not too light, not too heavy.

The most striking feature is that he is physically weak, timid, and afraid of trouble.

Fortunately, Sera Masumi didn't seem to care about that... It was a small matter, indicating that she was still willing to forgive them, since Ran Mouri was her type.

This greatly disappointed Sonoko Suzuki, who was standing nearby.

"...You little rascal, you've been dating for so long, and you're still not giving up on me?"

Sonoko Suzuki gave an awkward smile in response to Sano's sidelong glance.

"Haha, I'm just looking. After all, he's quite handsome, pleasing to the eye."

In addition, there's Conan, who's questioning his existence.

What the hell does that mean?

I kindly tried to explain things to this guy, and he actually tried to steal my girlfriend?

Conan's eyes immediately filled with hostility towards Sera Masumi.

"By the way, where are you planning to go?"

Sera Masumi asked the question, and Ran Mouri answered truthfully.

"What a coincidence! I was also planning to go to Beika Restaurant. Let's go together then."

"Yeah."

Sonoko Suzuki readily agreed.

Then, the team of four—no, three plague gods plus Sano—joined.

And so another Sera Masumi was added to the list.

Sano had no idea what those three guys were thinking.

Maybe that area is indeed a tiny bit flat... well, it should be said that it's a completely flat plain, the kind where you could use your chest as your back, but it's one thing when you're wearing a hat and not saying a word.

Once the hat is removed and the face is visible, one should at least begin to wonder whether it's a man or a woman. The sound it makes further confirms it's a woman.

It's comparable to those cross-dressing scenes in Chinese dramas.

I can't understand.

Can't understand.

Sano followed the group all the way to Beika Restaurant.

Sera Masumi pushed her suitcase to the front desk to check in, only to be told that the hotel was fully booked—which greatly displeased her, as she had made a reservation in advance, and now she was being told that there were no rooms available.

Isn't that just playing with yourself?

The hotel manager was clearly aware that this was a mistake on his part.

All he could do was keep apologizing to Sera Masumi.

Seeing this, Conan quietly withdrew his gaze—at least for now, this guy was originally going to live here, not to get close to Ran Mouri.

That's just an excuse I made up.

"Hey, Sister Xiaolan, I'm hungry. Let's go eat some cake!"
