Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

‘Thank you very much, then please give me more advice. ’

Celty expressed her gratitude to Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others for their willingness to help her find the head, but did not have too many expectations for the result.

After all, she has been searching for almost twenty years, but still hasn't found it, and so far she doesn't have any useful clues.

Even with the help of Fujimaru Ritsuka and others, it cannot be completed in a short time, right?

"It doesn't matter."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled.

That's all there is to talk about about the other party, but there's another thing besides that.

She said to Celty and Shizuo Heiwajima:

"Also, do you know about the rumors about the Ikebukuro Killer Demon?"

"The killer?"

Shizuo Heiwajima pondered for a moment, shook his head and said:

"Sorry, I don't think I've heard of this."

Selti said:

‘I saw someone say it online, but I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, so I don’t know much about it. ’

‘Are you looking for that guy? ’

"It doesn't really count, I'm just more concerned about it."

The only targets they initially identified were Celty and Shizuo Heiwajima.

As for the Ikebukuro Murderer, according to Mashu, it is a rumor that has only recently begun to circulate on the Internet. They have not yet had time to confirm the authenticity of the news, so they have not yet included it in the scope of processing.

Today, they originally just wanted to investigate Celty's footprints, but they didn't expect Heiwajima Shizuo to know Celty, nor did they expect that things would develop so smoothly.

Speaking of the murderer, if the other person really exists, regardless of whether he is a mysterious ability user or not, Fujimaru Ritsuka feels that it is better to subdue such a dangerous person as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Shizuo Heiwajima nodded clearly and said:

"I understand. If there is any news about this, I will tell you in time."

Celty also echoed:

'Me too. ’

"Well, please."

After talking about all the business matters, Selty was ready to leave. Fujimaru Ritsuka was also ready to take a rest early because things were going well, so everyone went downstairs together.

When he got downstairs, Fujimaru Ritsuka saw the Mori father and daughter and Conan downstairs, looking at Celty's motorcycle curiously.

"Xiaolan, Conan, Uncle Maori?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka greeted them, and then said doubtfully:

"What are you doing?"

"Ritsuka!"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's figure, Mao Lilan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she came to her happily and said:

"Welcome back!"

"I just heard from Conan today that you are back from a business trip. He also said that he would find time to make an appointment with you in the garden in the next two days."

Fujimaru Ritsuka also smiled and said:

"I also want to visit your office."

The two women looked at each other and smiled. Then, regarding the question raised by Fujimaru Ritsuka just now, Mao Lilan looked at Celty's motorcycle again and said:

"We just found that the motorcycle seemed a little strange. It had no lights or a license plate, and it didn't look like a real motorcycle."

Mouri Kogoro on the side said indifferently:

"Maybe it's something like a model, right? It's a waste of money just looking at it. It's better to buy a real motorcycle."

Mao Lilan said helplessly:

"That's someone's hobby. They're two different things, right?"

Seeing them commenting on her motorcycle, Celty hesitated to speak, and finally hid behind everyone silently, waiting for them to leave.

On the other side, Conan also felt that this motorcycle was a bit strange, but after seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and his party and two unknown strangers, he suddenly understood something.

I'm afraid this is no ordinary motorcycle, right?

In any case, he didn't want to get involved, so he said to Mao Lilan:

"Well, Sister Xiaolan, Sister Ritsuka seems to be entertaining guests, let's not disturb her, right?"

"ah,"

After hearing Conan's words, Mao Lilan also immediately noticed several strange figures, so she said sheepishly:

"Sorry. In that case, why don't we contact you later when you are free?"

"Yeah, okay."

Fujimaru Ritsuka agreed with a smile, waved goodbye to the three of them, and watched them go upstairs back to the office.

However, at this time, Celty was a little excited and said:

‘Could that person just now be [Sleeping Kogoro]? ! ’

"Hey, Miss Celty, do you know him?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little surprised, Celty nodded vigorously and said:

‘I’ve seen it on TV, that’s a very famous detective now! ’

"Really?"

Hearing this, Shizuo Heiwajima also showed a stunned expression and echoed:

"The name of this detective agency also seemed familiar to me. After hearing what you said, I remembered that I had also seen the interview with the other party on TV. I heard that he is a very powerful detective."

‘Yes, it’s him! Legend has it that he always falls asleep when solving crimes...! ’

Seeing Celty and Shizuo Heiwajima, it was as if they had met a celebrity, and they actively discussed the deeds of Kogoro Moori. Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression was a little subtle.

Didn’t you expect Uncle Maori’s popularity to be so high?

Then, she turned her attention to Celty's motorcycle, and she had to say that it did look a bit conspicuous.

And when she met Celty, she noticed that when the other party was driving a motorcycle, there was neither the roar of the engine nor the sound of the tires rubbing against the road.

What's more...

Noticing Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze, Celty came to the motorcycle, put a hand on the front of the motorcycle, and said sheepishly:

'Sorry, this was actually transformed by my beloved horse [Kshoda Bawa], so...'

As if sensing Celty's thoughts, the motorcycle trembled slightly as if it started, and then there was a horse's neighing sound, but it sounded a little sad.

"Xilulu...!"

‘Okay, okay, I’m not saying anything bad about you. ’

Seeing Celty hurriedly comforting her beloved horse, Fujimaru Ritsuka rubbed her chin as if thinking about something. After a moment, she smiled and said:

"Miss Selti, let me give you something."

‘Eh? ’

Fujimaru Ritsuka took out a rune stone from [Official Treasure] and smiled at Celty:

"Let me demonstrate how to use it first."

‘Ah, okay. ’

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, Selty still looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, waiting for the other party's demonstration.

However, after a while, nothing changed.

Just when Celty felt a little confused, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to be surprised and looked to another place in surprise.

"Wait a minute, that's over there...?!"

Celty couldn't help but follow the other person's line of sight, but what he saw was just an ordinary street scene, with nothing that could surprise him.

'Miss Ritsuka...eh? ’

She turned around with some confusion, only to find that the figure of Fujimaru Ritsuka who was in front of her suddenly disappeared at some point!

She quickly looked left and right to search. At this moment, she heard the other party's smiling voice coming from behind her:

"I'm here."

Celty turned around and Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"How about it, I just walked in front of you, didn't you notice?"

‘Eh? ’

Hearing Celty's surprised and confused tone, Fujimaru Ritsuka handed the rune stone in his hand to her and said with a smile:

"That's what this stone is capable of."
