Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

Ok?
Don't touch it anymore?
Sano came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief... Well, he actually noticed the atmosphere just now, but there is a saying that is good, as long as you are not embarrassed.

That embarrassment is someone else.

Anyway, Sano is not embarrassed, whoever he loves is embarrassed.

The awkward farewell finally came to an end, and Sano and his party embarked on a new... trip to Izu.

Looking back, Kyogoku's real figure was no longer visible.

Sano once asked Kyogoku why he wanted to go abroad, but the answer he got was——

Kyogoku really can't find an opponent in China.

And as Kyogoku said before, if you want to improve, you have to fight, so he plans to go abroad to challenge those top players in other countries.

In this way, break through your own limit.

Well, even though he is a high school student, he is also the strongest single player of Neon.

This is reasonable.

It's just that Sano originally thought that after he challenged Kyogoku with the black death vest, he might change the opponent's mind, and even made plans to invite the opponent to join the black death in order to increase the upper limit of the special attack suit.

...Although Sano later discovered that this girl is already a delinquent boy, so there is no need to abduct him at all. Of course, if he can get the other party to work for him, it is still very good, after all, the other party is very capable.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Black Death can defeat Kyogoku Shin.

Of course Sano has defeated Makoto Kyogoku, and of course the opponent still plans to go abroad.

So last night, Sano asked Kyogoku Shin, why did he still want to go abroad even though he had a stronger opponent like Heishi? Are wild flowers better than home fragrance flowers?
... Then Kyogoku really told Sano.

A suitable opponent is not so easy to find.

Black Death is indeed very strong, but he is only strong in his body, not his skills.

What Kyogoku really wants to challenge is an opponent in terms of skills. Only in that way can he get what he wants... Sano still doesn't understand such a profound thing, so it's naturally a little incomprehensible, but he didn't want to let the opponent Leave.

Anyway, if he didn't leave the country, he wouldn't be considered a bad boy.

Kyogoku really has the possibility to become stronger, and maybe even increase the upper limit of the special attack suit.

Besides, although Kyogoku is really powerful, he is still only one person after all. Although high-level beaters are rare, they are so important that they are indispensable.

That is also unnecessary.

Especially for workers like this kind of hardware who rely solely on combat effectiveness.

If Kyogoku really has special skills like Kuroba Kaito, and Sano happens to have never met Kuroba Kaito, then maybe there are two concepts.

all in all.

Sano still looks forward to Kyogoku's real performance.

……

"So, senior, you have already signed up for that tour group, and you still signed up for three at once?"

Sonoko Suzuki, who was registering his identity information at the front desk of the hotel, looked at Sano in surprise.

Sano nodded expressionlessly.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of Mao Lilan and the two of them, Conan threw the "pot" on Sano on the way here, saying that he came to Izu this time, in addition to meeting Kyogoku, he was going to participate in this Izu detective team.

... This statement is of course flawed.

"But if it's on Sano, no matter how unreasonable things are, they will become reasonable, right?"

Thinking of the "reason" that Conan and Haibara Ai whispered, the corners of Sano's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Just remembering that in order to "compensate" himself for being blamed, Conan raised the original upper limit of "meal expenses" by a full three times.

The corners of Sano's mouth stopped twitching immediately.

It can even be skimmed upwards.

"The Duke of the Night?"

Suddenly, sitting next to Sano and playing... the man on the laptop uttered a word, which made the four of Mao Lilan look over subconsciously.

Only Sano, who didn't even turn his head, just glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

Konno Shiro waited for a full ten seconds but couldn't wait for Sano's response. He couldn't help but twitched his eyes and said with a smile, "You are, are you going to ignore me?"

"Now that you've seen it all, why ask?"

Sano's cold reaction made Conan and the others blink.

Hmm... Today's Sano seems to be a bit aggressive.

Is it because Kyogoku really went abroad?

"...Heh, I'm Shiro Konno who lives in room 2002. For three days and two nights, please get along well."

Konno Shiro didn't care about the thorn in Sano's words, he pushed his glasses and said.

Konno Shiro is about 30 years old, wearing a suit, wearing glasses, with half-long hair, but he has bangs parted in the middle, looking very gloomy.

... Well, it's actually because this guy is too ugly.

Then, a man sitting on the sofa drinking in the hall laughed at Konno Shiro, saying that it was too naive to find the Duke in this way.

The two of them probably had a face-to-face meeting. Konno Shiro quickly recalled that the person answered his question in only 2101 seconds, and lived in Room [-], Jiang Yuan.

... By the way, what's wrong with this guy, what do you do to count the speed of other people's answering questions?
Sano also glanced at Jiang Yuan.

The man was also in his 30s, with mid-length hair...but it was carried behind his head, and he was characterized by a mustache on his upper lip that was inexplicably similar to Kogoro Mori, looking a bit sloppy.

And then, for some reason, one after another appeared in front of Sano as if they had made an appointment, and Konno Shiro, like an NPC, made "character identity setting introductions" one after another. .

Jin Cheng, who lives in room 2001, is an old man in his seventies and eighties, with long brows and beard, wearing sunglasses, and beside him... an attendant, who should be a housekeeper, is called Jing Jiang, five or sixty years old, and a fat lady.

Kamijou in Room 2102, a woman in her 20s, dressed stylishly.

Sano secretly wrote down the room numbers and names of these people in case of emergencies.

Are there still two people missing?

Shouldn't it be dead?
Another thing that puzzled Sano was...

"What does Duke mean, isn't it a virus?"

Sano asked Conan, causing him to be taken aback: "Didn't I tell you?"

"Did you tell me?"

The two stared wide-eyed, and finally realized that the settings were not mentioned.

So Conan explained again, it turns out that the organizer of this tour group will appear as a character in the novel, that is, the Duke of Night.

It is the character written by Conan's father Yusaku Kudo.

"By the way, the last time my dad came back to threaten me, he was dressed as the Night Duke."

Conan whispered to Sano.

It turned out to be like this, Sano said that he seemed to have heard this word somewhere.

When he came back to his senses, Sano heard Mao Lilan's exclamation again.

"What are you doing!?"

Turning her head to look, Mao Lilan blushed and covered her buttocks, staring angrily at the guy named Jiang Yuan.

Obviously it was picked up by salty pigs.

"What's wrong with touching your butt, you're just a little skinny, come over and pour wine for uncle."

Regarding Mao Lilan's glare, Jiang Yuan still had a wretched smile on his face, without any fear, but continued to grab her hand, which made Conan and Suzuki Sonoko instantly angry, and the former even squatted down and twisted his feet to strengthen his shoes .

... I don't know if this is the first time Mao Lilan has encountered this kind of thing, but she didn't fight back directly.

"stop!"

Suddenly, there was an angry shout, and Jiang Yuan's hand was forcibly folded behind his back.

It's just that Satoshi Maeda was just about to start his righteous act, but a black shadow fell on Jiang Yuan's head even faster.

"what!!"

Amid the screams, Satoshi Maeda who was frightened instinctively let go, and Jiang Yuan immediately fell to the ground, and then stepped on his right wrist with a big foot, twisting hard like stepping on a dirty bug. move.

It made Jiang Yuan's screams sound again, and it became more and more intense.

"He touched you with this hand just now."
