Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

However, Kazami Yuya's subsequent explanation made Amuro Tooru frown.

...Black Fox.

That guy who should now be called Scotland, actually showed up there?

coincidence?

If it's a coincidence, then what kind of coincidence is it...?

After thinking it over, Amuro Tooru comforted Kazami Yuya again.

"Don't worry, it should be fine. He just knows my surname. Anyway, he already knows my given name, so it doesn't matter... If he had followed your lead and kept exploring, it might have made me more concerned, but he didn't do anything."

Amuro Tooru paused, then said, "In that case, the possibility of him specifically seeking you out is rather small. It's more likely that he just bumped into you, said hello, and casually tested you out, not expecting to gain anything... Speaking of which, how many times have I told you not to keep calling me 'Mr. Furuya, Mr. Furuya,' are you afraid that others won't find out that I'm using a fake name?"

"...Yes, I will be more careful in the future."

After hanging up the phone, Amuro Tooru let out a sigh of relief.

After thinking about it, he simply called Black Fox's number directly.

"...Hey, Furuya, what's up?"

As soon as the call connected, a greeting with a hint of teasing came from the other end.

Amuro Tooru's lips twitched.

...Is this a reminder that my real name has been completely exposed?

After letting out a somewhat helpless sigh, Amuro Tooru asked, "Do you know that Kurosawa? How come you just happened to be in that area?"

"Kurosawa?"

Sano feigned ignorance and said, "Who is it? I don't know them."

Amuro Tooru: "...Then let's pretend we don't know each other."

"Oh."

……oh?

At this point, shouldn't we be slightly angry and question ourselves, "If it is, it is; if it isn't, it isn't. What does it mean to 'be true'?"

Amuro Tooru secretly clicked his tongue: "Also, Kazami... that kid you tricked into talking about is my subordinate. You may have already investigated him. If you happen to run into him in the future, please take care of him... Also, he's not that bold, he's rather timid. If you run into him in the future, don't scare him for no reason."

"Ok?"

Sano finally reacted.

When did I scare him?

...Although Kazami Yuya himself seemed unaware of it, based on his description, Amuro Tooru could say with certainty.

His subordinates were deliberately intimidated.

If this happened to someone else, Amuro Tooru might interpret it as a signal of "showing force," but when it happened to the person on the other end of the phone... it just felt like pure, twisted humor.

"Then let's just pretend we weren't trying to scare you."

Amuro Tooru said this again, and then hung up the phone and turned it off.

...Hopefully, when I turn my phone on again, I'll see a few missed calls.

Amuro revealed a lewd smile.

However, after being hung up on, Sano did not call back as Amuro Tooru had hoped; he simply pondered for a while.

Send a text message.

"Oh, right, there's something else I forgot to remind you. Gin seems to be chasing after that Kurosawa you mentioned. He's not far from Kazami. I didn't go back to warn him because I was worried about getting involved."

After sending the text message, Sano immediately put his phone into his wallet.

It has entered a no-signal state.

Ok.

Hopefully, next time I take it out, I won't see 99+ missed calls.

Sano's smile widened even more.

After finding an alley and switching back to his original form, Sano summoned Big Black and retrieved the cloned doll from its mouth. Then, he took out another phone and told the blond-haired guy where he had put the electric scooter. Only then did he take out two shovels from his wallet.

Go home.

night.

Sano, now dressed in a black fox vest, was looking at the person in front of him with a bored expression.

He was writing furiously while muttering to himself.

"The demon god worshipped by the fff group."

"The power to see through people's hearts and manipulate them."

"The fox is a symbol of the gods."

"phantom……"

"..."

"All right!"

Nakajima Kaizo typed a few words on the keyboard and let out a long sigh of relief.

"A total of about ten reports should take about half a month to complete."

"What matters is not the length of time, but the level of popularity."

Sano tapped the table: "You should know what my real purpose is behind me coming here specifically to cooperate with you in producing these reports."

"of course."

Nakajima Keizo looked at Sano with burning eyes and nodded in agreement.

"Throwing out a brick to get jade, the purpose of everything is to bring out more existence."

"But we must also be careful to be tactful. The goal is to attract our own kind, not to attract hunters who see us as prey. Unnecessary trouble needs to be avoided."

Sano stood up and waved his hand.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you. I'll be going now."

"Yes, my lord."

Nakajima Keizo rose respectfully and bowed to see him off.

……to be honest.

Nakajima Keizo was someone Sano despised and disdained to approach.

...It's not that I hate him, it's just that I feel this guy is a bit troublesome.

But later, Sano felt it was necessary to develop his work in public opinion... especially regarding other superpowered individuals around the world.

That's why they chose Nakajima Keizo as their breakthrough point.

Especially after Sano got the mask, Nakajima Keizo seemed even more suitable.

Unlike Sano's fanatical followers.

Those people were specially selected by Sano; they were people from the bottom of society who had suffered greatly and lived in dire straits, and they only needed to be given a little "help".

Strong gratitude can breed a desire to follow.

...Of course, not everyone can do it; there are some exceptions.

Not only were they ungrateful, but they even treated Sano like a sucker, trying to get more out of him... and in the end, well, hehehe.

Nakajima Keizo is a rather special case.

This guy doesn't live a difficult life, but his genuine interest in ghost stories and his vanity and urgent need for honor in pursuing "gimmicks" can both be exploited.

therefore.

When Sano donned the Black Fox costume and adopted the "ghost story" setting, he successfully captivated the other party by revealing just a tiny bit of his secrets.

Of course, this level is still somewhat different from that of Sano's fanatical followers.

Of course, that's enough.

Every time Sano meets with Nakajima Keizo, he conducts an in-depth "enhancement" session on the spot. This is to ensure that there will be no problems in the short term, and also to see if he can achieve the goal of "water dripping on stone" and lower the standard for converting believers.

Judging from this situation...

It feels like it's almost done.

Let's wait and see if anything else changes in the next month or two.

Sano looked at all the reports published by Nakajima Keizo during this period on his phone.

...Although Sano's cooperation provided Nakajima Keizo with a lot of material, the lack of a sense of proportion resulted in a work that felt like a rehash of old material, and it's unclear whether it actually worked.

Sano was getting a little impatient, so he loosened the restrictions a bit.

If things have already gone this far, and there's still no progress...

So, besides giving up directly, what other related measures will Sano take?

The only possibility is that the cards have been revealed.

However, Sano himself felt that the probability of this was very small.

It's true that Sano is interested in the unscientific aspects of the Detective Conan world.

Being interested doesn't mean that things will be different if Sano can't find him.

In comparison.

Sano still felt that the present moment was more important.

"quack."

Seeing that no one was around Sano, the large black creature in the sky moved closer.
