Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Sano replied dismissively, "How could I not understand? I understand everything. People call me 'Know-It-All'."

Toru Amuro: "?"

What nonsense is this kid spouting?

"Then you can just keep working there, boss. Your goal is to get the job, it's not like you need me to pull strings for you."

Sano steered the conversation back on track, which prompted Amuro Tooru to fire a row of dots.

Damn it... So you forgot what you said to Sano after just a couple of sentences?

"Boss, you really are my boss. Your great store manager is watching me like a hawk all day long. She even limits my bathroom breaks to no more than five minutes. I can't stop working. She can force me to do something even when there's nothing to do. How the hell am I supposed to do my own thing?"

Amuro Tooru couldn't hold back any longer. All the resentment he had been holding in since joining the company was poured out into a long rant by him and he vented it to Sano.

...A complaint is necessary, a complaint must be filed!

That's right, this is definitely not tattling.

Rather, it is a righteous act taken to protect one's legitimate rights!

However, just as Amuro Tooru breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much lighter and eagerly awaiting a perfect answer from Sano, the phone suddenly went silent.

Five seconds, ten seconds, half a minute.

When Amuro Tooru wondered if the cell phone signal was too weak, Sano finally spoke up.

"Oh."

"..."

"!"

"?"

oh!!??

He rambled on and on, but this guy was just one person.

"oh"!?

Are you kidding me?

Before Amuro Tooru, who was about to vomit blood, could vent his anger, Sano spoke up again with some difficulty: "But, Azusa is the store manager. Even if I am the boss, I am just a hands-off manager who only puts money in and doesn't know anything about other operations. I have no way to interfere with her thoughts and decisions, boss."

"No, is she her boss or your boss? Can't you even interfere?"

Amuro Tooru asked in dissatisfaction, while Sano continued to pretend, saying, "Oh, I'm serious, why don't you believe me... No, give the phone to Azusa, I'll talk to her in person, but if it doesn't work..."

"Then you can't blame me."

Amuro Tooru thought about it for a while and decided it was feasible, so he took his phone and went inside.

Then, the text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly representing a corrupted or incomplete document. It doesn't form coherent sentences or paragraphs. A direct translation isn't possible without further context or clarification.

"That's all then, bye-bye."

Sano hung up the phone, and Amuro Tooru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However.

The phone call had barely ended when...

Amuro Tooru immediately stiffened, a bad premonition welling up in his heart.

"You think I'm abusing you, so you went to tattle on me?"

Faced with the difficulties of donations and bribery, the remaining resources are limited.

"No, I didn't. Sano asked me about it..."

"Oh."

...Terrible, absolutely terrifying.

I never expected that what Sano said was true; this girl is the real owner of the store.

Can't be bothered.

And the scalloped hairpin snatched the hamster spring, the female swan hammered the lake understanding, the dwarf pheasant nods the panic.

...To be honest, the dwarf's beard was worn out, and the emperor's virtuous and refined manner was terrible. He was a man of few words, and his words were often incoherent and haphazard ...

Amuro Tooru, who may only now be appreciating this, might only realize that it's because Sano dared not speak out against the injustice done to Amuro Tooru. However, Azusa Motohiro sees it as Sano being unwilling to "uphold justice" for Amuro Tooru.

However, because of their relationship, they had no choice but to "uphold justice".

To put it bluntly, Sano was forced into it, and as for who "forced" him, that goes without saying.

The thought of his kind-hearted boss being enslaved by this heartless boss simply because of an employer-employee relationship filled him with rage.

But none of that matters.

Because justice can never be eradicated!

Whether she's expelled or not, as long as she's allowed to do it, she'll continue to act with impunity.

So no matter what, it should be absolutely impossible for Sano to be involved.

槺捐骷岫四抗猓窈莺莸囟⒆虐彩彝傅谋秤啊�

That's right, no matter how powerful the evil forces are.

I am determined to fight them to the end and never back down!

Chapter 542, Amuro Tooru: Are all the new recruits this arrogant these days?

Dusk.

Sano received another call from Amuro Tooru.

...However, this time the call wasn't directed at Sano himself.

"Hey, emergency! Get to Beika Fifth Street right now! There's a Mouri Detective Agency over there, and downstairs is a coffee shop called Anteiku. It's an English sign that translates to Antiques. Hurry, right now, it's extremely urgent!"

The call was abruptly disconnected.

Sano touched his head.

Although the true purpose is unclear, Amuro Tooru's decision to send him directly to Anteiku, where he was located, undoubtedly raises the possibility of revealing his true intentions.

Are they really planning to let a new peripheral member get involved in this area?

...So what exactly happened to this guy that made him so anxious?

After smacking his lips, Sano went out to his coffee shop.

Of course, they've switched identities.

Then he saw Amuro Tooru, who looked at him as if he were a savior.

Well, since he was assigned to take care of Sano, Amuro Tooru must have seen Sano's information... even if it's fake, the photos must be real.

Amuro Tooru recognized Sano and immediately waved for him to come over.

"Wave……"

Before Sano could even say hello, Amuro Tooru covered his mouth.

"Don't use my code name when we're out. Just call me Amuro."

"Ok."

After nodding, I looked behind the counter again, and saw...

"Um, Miss Azusa."

Amuro Tooru said somewhat humbly, "This is Fox, he's a good friend of mine. I really have something to do today, could you perhaps have him finish the rest of my work for me? It certainly won't cause any delays!"

"Oh?"

槺捐骺聪蜃粢埃,嫔曰海,实溃骸澳愀桥笥炫俊�

"No."

Amuro Tooru's eyes widened immediately.

"Could he be considered my boss?"

Sano added another sentence.

...Why is this person so stubborn and earnest?

Amuro Toru was slightly speechless, while the person opposite him...

The boss's statement is obviously a bit off, because usually only a very large organization with a relatively strict hierarchy would use such a word. But in the eyes of ordinary people, they would not think much about it and would only associate it with the word "boss".

Especially knowing that Amuro Tooru is the owner of a detective agency, this is even more true... So the strangely dressed person who was called over to "take the blame" is his boss's colleague?

Yes.

This unscrupulous boss is definitely trying to exploit his employees.

They can avoid working but make money for free, essentially leeching off others!

The indignant and resentful man, utterly bewildered, utterly dejected, utterly humiliated ...

"what?"

Amuro Tooru was confused and asked, "Why not? It's all part-time work, just with a different person. I didn't ask you for more money!"

"No means no."

The text appears to be a jumbled mess of characters and symbols, possibly a corrupted or garbled message. It doesn't form coherent sentences or paragraphs. A direct translation isn't meaningful without further context or clarification.

Amuro Tooru was speechless, and in the end, he could only keep his head down and silently continue working.

Seeing this, Sano ordered a coffee and sat for a while.

...Although he hadn't looked into the details, Sano roughly understood the situation between the two. The first surprising thing was that...
