Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

Although it seems to be the same whether there is or not, this puppet does account for a large part of the reason why Sano's previous dog training plan has not gone smoothly.

Because every time this puppet sees Sano, he will immediately run away.

Although Sano later temporarily diverted the guy's attention with some cat snacks and toys, giving him the opportunity to interact with Xiao Hei, once he got tired of those things, he would immediately run away again.

Then he led Xiao Hei to follow him.

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

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

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

So it is normal to have such a situation.

Faced with such a dilemma, Zuo Ye already had a plan on how to break it.

Sano turned his hand from behind to his chest, holding the replica of the black cat in his palm, with "righteous and awe-inspiring" eyes.

That's right, Sano is going to use the "Beautiful Cat Strategy" on that puppet! !

It is true that this puppet is absolutely malicious towards humans now, but if Sano holds this cat in his arms, it will have absolutely...well, a kind cat.

I think it should be able to neutralize it.

...This is Sano's plan at the expense of his appearance, 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.

Just after seeing Sano's appearance, Xiao Hei immediately retracted his vigilant posture and began to stick out his tongue and wag his tail. 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, and instantly the puppet's attitude began to waver again.

...As long as you hesitate, this is a sign that you are going to take the bait!

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

At the same time, Sano did not control the black cat and took the initiative to come forward. He stayed at his feet and lured the puppet to come over on his own.

Looking at Sano and the black cat opposite, the puppet meowed "meow" twice, as if trying to call the black cat to leave the dangerous Ape erectus 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 and walked over.

The puppet came to the black cat. At first, he seemed to be distracted and wary of Sano. After a while, he simply threw him aside and began to interrupt the black cat, saying "meow, meow, meow!" Jiao Lai would rub her head against her from time to time.

...What the hell, I usually shout "oooooooooo" to myself, but now I'm pinching it?

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

The role of the beautiful cat trick is not limited to easing the situation and bringing the distance between Sano and the puppets closer.

It is more likely that Xiao Hei will be "anxious" and then unite with Sano to deal with the "enemy" of Black Cat.

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

This wave is a joint fraud... ahem, it's a matter of killing two birds with one stone anyway.

They just bully the puppets for their low IQ and Xiao Hei's lack of experience in the world.

Even if it is very deep, it is not something that an experienced veteran in society can see through to a supernatural deception like Sano's that relies on the "Clone Technique".

Go both ways.

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

However, this plan that has the best of both worlds has a higher risk, that is, if Xiao Hei is too "anxious" and directly attacks the "Black Cat", Sano does not stop it in time.

Maybe Sano will lose a vest.

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

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

"Brother, do you know this cat?"

Sano didn't know where Xiao Hei learned the title "Big Brother" from. It seemed that from a certain day, the other party called him "Big Brother" when he saw him.

... Sano can't help but think of a certain fool.

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

As a result, this guy said "Master, what do you mean" backhand, which made Sano confused.

...Xiao Hei's vocabulary base basically comes from what he sees and hears during his daily wanderings.

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

So it doesn't seem surprising that Xiao Hei doesn't know what "master" means.

After finding out the reason on his own, Sano spent about ten minutes with Xiao Hei to explain the meanings of owners and pets, and their relationship.

Then, Xiao Hei said again, "Then why should I call you master?", making Sano confused again.

"Because you are my pet!"

Sano replied.

"But the eldest brother just said that the reason why a pet has an owner is because the other party provides it with food, drink, sleep, and companionship, but you didn't provide it to me."

"...I can also provide it for you."

"But I don't need it."

"..."

At that time, Sano, looking at the sincere and heartfelt doubts in Xiao Hei's eyes, felt as if he didn't even know what to say.

"Then why do you call me brother?"

Unwilling to admit defeat, Sano attacks again.

"Because you smell good."

Xiaohei also fought back with sincerity again.

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

But after all, this is just a matter of title, and Sano feels 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 was undoubtedly somewhat beyond Sano's expectations.

After thinking about it, Sano felt that there was no need to think alone, since Xiao Hei was not unable to communicate.

"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 Xiao Hei tilted his head, he replied: "No, I just feel that this cat smells pretty good, although not as good as the big brother. And since the puppet likes it, then I also like it."

...Because Sano has always called Xiao Hei Xiao Hei, so even though Xiao Hei still doesn't understand why it is called Xiao Hei, whenever it mentions Xiao Hei, it knows that it must be talking about itself.

Later, when he heard Sano calling the puppet "Puppet", Xiao Hei thought that this so-called "Puppet", like "Xiao Hei", was a unique name for this Ragdoll cat.

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

Sano also didn't bother to elaborate on this aspect with Xiao Hei.

It may be difficult to understand even if you say it, but you should naturally understand it in the future.

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

How should I put it, it feels like, "I love her, so as long as she is happy, no matter what," I feel.

I just couldn't lick it anymore.

Zuo Ye was a little speechless, but he didn't have any other ideas.

Xiao Hei has no inner resistance to the "black cat". Although the idea of ​​​​allowing Sano to "unify the front" and thereby bring the relationship closer was shattered, at least the risk of losing the vest is reduced. The pros and cons are balanced, so it is not a big problem.

But at this time, it seemed that because the black cat form clone controlled by Sano had been unresponsive, the puppet became a little anxious.

The movements became more and more intense, and there was a hint of wanting... to be stronger.

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

...Resistance is definitely not possible, otherwise if excessive resistance leads to the puppet becoming malicious towards the black cat, then the plan will directly fail, so the dragging technique has to be used.

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

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

...In fact, it stands to reason that if the relationship is to be closer through getting along, Sano should deal with that puppet first rather than Xiao Hei.

It's just that the reason why Sano was forced to use the beautiful cat trick was that besides wanting Xiao Hei to listen to him, there was another purpose with a higher priority.

That is, try to use Xiao Hei's [effect].

As a living reinforcement, Xiaohei has a total of four effects.

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

Summon and lock tracking.

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

But before Sano could use the former, he felt something was wrong.

It wasn't until later that Sano was able to communicate normally with Xiao Hei and command the guy to smell scent, but still couldn't use lock tracking, that he finally came to his senses.

Judging from the descriptions of the four effects, the two that Sano has experienced are of the "passive" type, while the latter two are of the "active" type.

Sano originally thought that the latter two active effects should be the same as the effects of other reinforcements in his hand, and it would be up to him to decide whether to use them.

But in fact, this is most likely led by Xiao Hei.

It's just that although Xiao Hei's IQ has increased a lot, it most likely doesn't know how to use this non-instinct, non-born "new skill".

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

But Sano originally came here today just to study it.

So whether it is true or not, you will know after trying it, no need to worry.

Then Sano began to guide Xiao Hei, trying to get the opponent to use these two active effects.

…

In a certain location in the distillery, Vodka had a rare leisure time of his own, where he could drink away his worries.

It’s okay if you don’t have to team up with Sano.

My eldest brother actually took a rare vacation, and he also took a vacation with him.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a day like today, where I could work from morning to night...

"...Hey, hey, have you heard that that person started doing tasks again!"

"Who is making such a fuss?"

"Who else could it be? He must be crazy... Lord Rye!"

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

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

"..."

Listening to the chattering gossip of a group of peripheral members not far away, Vodka couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

It was a rare holiday, why did the name Sano still appear around me like a ghost...

Can't even shake it off.

Vodka drank all the vodka in the glass. Although he was upset, 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. Unexpectedly, the next second, the topic turned to him again.

"...But even though Lord Rye is a famous killer of teammates, every time he does a mission, the peripheral members will die in large numbers or be completely wiped out."

"Even the Codename members basically can't make it past one round in his hands, but among the many Codename members who have teamed up with him, there is one god who is said to have teamed up with him more than a dozen times. Man, he has lived until now!”

"seriously."

"Really, why are you lying to me?"

"That's awesome. I've been able to team up with Lord Rye more than a dozen times and still be alive. It seems that this Lord's strength is probably unfathomable."

"At present, it seems that this is the only one who can still survive after being in a team with Lord Rye."

"Then what's his code name?"

"That person's codename seems to be... Vodka!"

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

"I heard that he can be considered an old man in the organization. He has always been very low-key and has no sense of presence. I didn't expect that he was hidden deep inside."

"..."

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

What the hell is this?

How come you are so awesome, so well-hidden, so unfathomable?

This was obviously just because I was lucky enough not to encounter a time when Sano's out-of-control behavior was particularly serious.

Besides, why was he the only one who teamed up with Sano and survived?

Don’t you still have your own eldest brother? No matter how bad things are, you have to include Belmod, right?

This is a rumor that was spread by some evil writer. It is too outrageous, right?

Vodka sighed speechlessly.

But it would be great if the truth is as true as the rumors.

Then there is no need for me to worry about whether I will team up with Sano in the future.

...Wait a minute, is it because your eldest brother believed this that he arranged for you to team up with Sano some time ago? ?

Vodka had a sudden thought, but the next second it felt wrong.

The team formation came first and the rumors came 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 am I still thinking about Sano even though I'm on vacation?

Sano Sano Sano, it’s all Sano, it’s so annoying! !

"Ache!"

In the antique cafe, Sano sneezed and muttered: "Some little girl is thinking about me."

"Hey, why didn't you say that a certain case was calling you."

Haiyuan Ai 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. This phenomenon is obviously not normal."

"You are the only one who talks a lot."

Sano rolled his eyes, and Conan on the side tugged on his clothes and asked, "We are going to go camping this weekend. Sano, do you want to come with us?"
