Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 299 Chapter 298, (Co) Winery Legend - Vodka
Although it seems to be the same whether it is there or not, this puppet is indeed a large part of the reason why Sano's previous dog training plan has not been smooth.

Because every time this puppet sees Sano, it will immediately slip away.

Although Sano used some cat snacks and toys to temporarily divert this guy's attention and thus had the opportunity to get in touch with Xiao Hei, but once he got tired of those things, he would immediately slip away again.

Then he led Xiao Hei to follow along.

Even if Sano tried to get closer to the puppet by switching the vest, there was still no sign of success at all.

...Probably because he was frightened by Sano's attempted kidnapping at the beginning, so that he became extremely alert to the human group.

After all, this is just an ordinary cat without such a high IQ.

So it's normal for this to happen.

Faced with such a predicament, Sano already had a plan in mind on how to break it.

Sano turned the hand behind his back to his chest, holding the replica of a black cat on his palm, with "awe-inspiring righteousness" in his eyes.

That's right, Sano is going to use the "beautiful cat trick" on that puppet! !

It is true that this puppet has absolute malice towards humans now, but if Sano holds this puppet, it has an absolute... um, kind cat.

If you think about it, you should be able to neutralize it.

...This is Sano's plan at the expense of Hue, and it must not fail!

Sano walked towards the cat and dog pair with firm steps.

Sensing Sano's approach, the cat and the dog immediately became nervous.

But after seeing Sano's appearance, Xiao Hei immediately withdrew his vigilant posture, and started sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail, while the puppet showed the exact opposite behavior and became more tense stand up.

Seeing this, Sano immediately pushed out the black cat in his hand, instantly making the attitude of the puppet start to waver again.

...It's good to hesitate, this is the precursor to take the bait!

Sano did not approach rashly, but put down the black cat in his hand.

At the same time, Sano didn't control the black cat to come forward, but stayed at his feet, luring the puppet to come by himself.

Looking at Sano and the black cat opposite, the puppet meowed twice, as if trying to call the black cat to leave the dangerous erect ape and go to it.

Of course there was no response.

After hesitating on the spot for a few moments, the puppet finally took the initiative to come over.

The puppet came to the side of the black cat. At first, it seemed to be distracted and vigilant against Sano. After a while, it threw him aside and began to interrupt around the black cat, "meow meow meow". Jiaolai would rub her head against it from time to time.

... What the hell, I usually yell at myself like "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ” to oneself what the hell

The corner of Sano's mouth twitched, but he was observing Xiao Hei from the corner of his eye.

The role of the beauty cat trick is not limited to, it can ease the situation and narrow the distance between Sano and the puppet.

It is more likely to make Xiao Hei "anxious", and then unite with Sano to deal with the "enemy" of the black cat.

... a bit close to the so-called red and white face.

This wave is a joint scam... Ahem, anyway, it's killing two birds with one stone.

It's just bullying the puppet's low IQ, plus Xiao Hei's inexperienced experience.

Even if it is deep, it is not the kind of old fritters with rich social experience who can see through a supernatural deception like Sano's relying on the "separation technique".

Go both ways.

On the one hand, he can choose to start with Xiaohei, and on the other hand, he can choose to start with Xiaohei's weakness. Sano doesn't believe that he can't handle a dog anymore.

However, this best-of-both-worlds plan still has a higher risk, that is, if Xiao Hei gets too "anxious" and directly fights with "Black Cat", Sano doesn't stop it in time.

Maybe Sano would lose a vest.

...Luckily, Xiao Hei is a sensible dog, even if the goddess is in front of him, making out with the male god, um, making out.

Xiao Hei didn't show any signs of losing control, but started playing around Sano.

"Big brother, do you know this cat?"

Sano doesn't know where Xiao Hei learned the name "Big Brother", it seems that from a certain day, the other party saw him and called "Big Brother".

...Let Sano always think of a certain fool involuntarily.

It's not that Sano hasn't tried to change this title, and let Xiao Hei call himself the master.

As a result, the guy said "Master, what do you mean" backhandedly, which made Sano stunned.

...Xiao Hei's vocabulary basically comes from what he sees and hears while wandering around.

Presumably, except for a certain special group, no one would yell "Master, Master" on the street.

So Xiao Hei didn't know what "Master" meant, so it seemed nothing strange.

After finding out the reason on his own, Sano and Xiao Hei spent about ten minutes explaining the meaning and connection between the owner and the pet.

Then, Xiao Hei said again, "Then why did I call you master", which made Sano confused again.

"Because you are my pet!"

Sano replied.

"But the eldest brother just said that the reason why the pet has an owner is because it was provided by the other party for eating, drinking, sleeping and companionship, but you didn't provide it to me."

"...I can provide it to you too."

"But I don't need it."

"..."

At that time, Sano, seeing the sincere and heartfelt doubt in Xiao Hei's eyes, felt for a moment that he didn't even know what to say.

"Then why do you call me big brother?"

Unwilling to admit defeat, Sano attacks again.

"Because you are very fragrant."

Xiao Hei also fought back with sincerity.

... No way, Sano felt that as a human being, it was impossible for him to understand the dog's thoughts.

But after all, this is just a matter of title, and Sano feels that there is no need to waste too much energy on it.

What matters is the present moment.

Although there was curiosity in the "voice" that Xiao Hei asked just now, there was no other emotion.

This is undoubtedly somewhat beyond Sano's expectations.

After thinking about it, Sano felt that there was no need to think about it alone, anyway, Xiao Hei was not incapable of communicating.

"Xiao Hei, this puppet likes this black cat so much, don't you have any other feelings?"

Sano tentatively began to study Xiao Hei's psychology.

After tilting his head, Xiao Hei replied: "No, I just feel that this cat smells good, although it is not as good as big brother, and since the puppet likes it, then I like it too."

...Because Sano has always called Xiao Hei Xiao Hei, so although Xiao Hei still doesn't understand why it is called Xiao Hei, as long as Xiao Hei is mentioned, it knows that it must be talking about itself.

Later, when he heard Sano calling the puppet "Muppet", Xiao Hei thought that this so-called "Muppet", like "Xiao Hei", belonged to the unique name of this puppet cat.

So Xiao Hei began to call this puppet "Puppet".

Sano also didn't bother to tell Xiao Hei about this aspect.

It may be difficult to understand after talking about it, but it should come naturally in the future.

The problem now is that Xiao Hei's dog-licking level is obviously beyond Sano's imagination.

How should I put it, it's kind of like, "I love her, so as long as she's happy, it's fine no matter what", feeling.

I can't lick it anymore.

Sano was speechless, but he didn't have any other thoughts.

Xiao Hei has no inner resistance to the "black cat". Although Sano's idea of ​​"unifying the battle line" and thereby bringing the relationship closer is shattered, at least it also reduces the risk of losing the vest. The pros and cons are balanced, so the problem is not big.

And at this moment, it seems that because the black cat form replica controlled by Sano has been responding flatly, the puppet is a little anxious instead.

In terms of movements, it became more and more intense, and there was a faint sense of wanting...to be stronger.

How could Sano do this? After the corners of his eyes twitched, he immediately controlled the black cat and began to dodge.

…Resistance is definitely not an option. Otherwise, if the puppet becomes malicious towards the black cat due to excessive resistance, the plan will directly fail, so the dragging method must be used.

Of course, Sano didn't let the black cat run away directly, he just walked around around him, bringing the puppet along with him.

After temporarily stabilizing the situation, Sano continued to communicate with Xiao Hei.

...Actually speaking, if the relationship is to be brought closer by getting along, Sano should deal with that puppet first compared to Xiao Hei.

It's just that the reason why Sano was forced to resort to such a strategy as the beauty cat trick was that besides trying to make Xiao Hei listen to him, there was another purpose with a higher priority.

That is, try to use Xiao Hei's 【Effect】.

As a living body enhancer, Xiao Hei has four effects in total.

Regardless of the first two, Sano has never been able to witness the specific performance of the latter two.

Summon and lock on to track.

At first, because the prerequisite for using the latter was "use according to the smell", Sano didn't care if he couldn't use it. After all, he and Xiao Hei couldn't communicate effectively at that time.

But Sano couldn't use the former, so he felt something was wrong.

It wasn't until later that Sano was able to communicate normally with Xiao Hei, and he was able to instruct this guy to smell, but he still couldn't use the lock and track, and he finally reacted a little bit.

For the four effects, judging from the description alone, the two that Sano has already experienced belong to the "passive" type, while the latter two belong to the "active" type.

Sanohara thought that the latter two active effects should be the same as the effects of other reinforcements in his hand, and he should decide whether to use them or not.

But in fact, this is very likely to be led by Xiao Hei.

It's just that although Xiao Hei's IQ has increased a lot, such a non-instinctive, non-natural "fresh skill" probably doesn't know how to use it yet.

... It is hard to say whether this speculation is right or wrong.

But originally Sano came here today just to study it.

So whether it is true or not, you will know if you try it, and you don’t need to worry about it.

Then Sano began to guide Xiao Hei, trying to make the other party use these two active effects.

……

In a certain stronghold of the winery, Vodka has a rare leisure time of his own, where he can drink away his sorrows.

It doesn't matter if you don't need to team up with Sano.

My eldest brother also took a rare vacation, and even took the vacation with himself.

It's been a long time since I can be free from morning to night like today...

"...Hey, hey, have you heard, that person has started to do tasks again!"

"Who is making such a fuss?"

"Who else, must be crazy... Lord Rye!"

"Master Rye, is he a code member? What happened to him?"

"You don't even know this, are you new here?"

"..."

Hearing the gossip of a group of peripheral members not far away, Vodka couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.

This is a rare holiday, why does the name Sano still appear around me like a ghost...

Can't shake it off.

Vodka drank all the vodka in the glass. Although he was agitated, after triggering the keyword, his attention was inevitably focused on the gossip group.

After listening to the wave of "legends" about Sano, Vodka thought that the topic should be over, but unexpectedly, the topic turned to him again in the next second.

"...But even though Lord Rye is a famous teammate killer, every time he does a mission with him, a large number of peripheral members will die or be completely wiped out."

"Even the code-named members basically can't go through one round in his hands, but among so many code-named members who have teamed up with him, there is such a god who is said to have formed teams with him more than a dozen times. People, have lived until now!"

"seriously."

"Really, why did I lie to you?"

"It's awesome. Being able to form a team with Master Rye more than a dozen times and still be alive, it seems that the strength of this Lord is probably unfathomable."

"At present, it seems that this is the only one who has survived in a team with Mr. Rye."

"Then what's his code name?"

"That person's code name seems to be, called... Vodka!"

"Yes, that's right, it's vodka!"

"I heard that this is an old man in the organization. He has been very low-key on weekdays and has no sense of presence. I didn't expect him to hide it."

"..."

Listening to those peripheral members' "praise" to him, Vodka's face was full of bewilderment.

What the hell is this!

Why is it that you are awesome, hidden, and unfathomable?

It's so obvious that it's purely because I was lucky enough not to encounter a time when Sano's out-of-control behavior was particularly serious.

Besides, why is he the only one who survived the team with Sano?

Don't you still have your own big brother, no matter how bad you are, you have to count Belmode, right?
This is a rumor spread by some kind of evil pen, it must be too ridiculous to spread it, right?

Vodka sighed a little speechlessly.

But it would be nice if the facts were true.

Then there is no need to worry about whether he will form a team with Sano in the future.

...Wait a minute, maybe my elder brother has been arranging himself to form a team with Sano a while ago because he believed this, right? ?

Vodka had a whim, but felt wrong the next second.

Team formation comes first, and rumors come later. How could my eldest brother make such an arrangement just because he believed the rumors?

Vodka shook his head and chuckled, then turned into a wry smile.

...So why is it that I am on vacation, and I am still thinking about this guy Sano?
Sano Sano Sano, Quan Te is Sano, so annoying! !

"Ache!"

In the Antique Cafe, Sano sneezed and muttered, "Which little girl is missing me."

"Oh, why don't you say that a certain case is calling you."

Hui Yuanai flipped through the magazine in his hand, and said calmly: "After all, it seems that you haven't encountered a murder case for a long time, and this phenomenon is obviously not normal."

"You talk too much."

Sano rolled his eyes, while Conan tugged at his clothes and asked, "We are planning to go camping this weekend, Sano, do you want to come with us?"
