Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

Um?

No more touching?

Sano came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief... Well, actually he noticed the atmosphere just now, but there is a saying, as long as you are not embarrassed.

It’s other people who are embarrassed.

Anyway, Sano is not embarrassed, whoever loves it will be embarrassed.

The awkward goodbyes are finally over, and Sano and his friends embark on a new journey...Izu.

Looking back again, Kyogoku's real figure could no longer be seen.

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

Kyogoku really can't find an opponent in the country.

And as Kyogoku Makoto said before, if you want to make progress, you have to fight in practice, so he plans to go abroad to challenge the top players from other countries.

Use this to push your limits.

Well, even though he is a high school student, he is also Neon's strongest single-target combat power.

This makes sense.

It's just that Sano originally thought that after he challenged Kyogoku Shin 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 server.

...Although Sano later discovered that this girl was already a delinquent, and there was no need to abduct him at all. Of course, it would still be great if he could get him to work for him. After all, he was very capable.

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

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

So last night Sano asked Kyogoku Makoto why he still wanted to go abroad even though there was a stronger opponent like Black Death. Is it true that wild flowers are better than home fragrant flowers?

...Then Kyogoku Makoto told Sano.

A suitable opponent is not that easy to find.

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

What Kyogoku really wants to challenge is a technical opponent. Only in that way can he get what he wants... Sano still doesn't understand such a profound thing, so naturally he can't understand it, but he doesn't want to force the opponent to do it. Leave.

Anyway, it’s not like he is considered a bad boy once he leaves the country.

Kyogoku really has the possibility to become stronger, and maybe he can also increase the upper limit of the special attack server.

Besides, although Kyogoku is really powerful, he is still just a person after all. Although high-level part-time workers are rare, they can be said to be so important that they are indispensable.

That's not necessary.

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

If Kyogoku really has special skills like Kuroba Kaito, and Sano has never met Kuroba Kaito, then maybe they are two different concepts.

all in all.

Sano is still looking forward to Kyogoku's true performance.

…

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

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

Sano nodded expressionlessly.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of Mao Lilan and the other two, Conan threw the "blame" on Sano on the way here, saying that he came to Izu this time. In addition to meeting Kyogoku, he also wanted to participate in this Izu. Detective team.

...There are certainly loopholes in this statement.

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

Thinking of the "reasons" whispered by Conan and Haibara Ai, Sano couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Just remembering that in order to "compensate" for taking the blame, Conan raised the original upper limit of "meal expenses" by three times.

The corners of Sano's mouth stopped twitching immediately.

You can even skim it upwards.

"Duke of the Night?"

Suddenly, the man who was sitting next to Sano and playing with...his laptop said a word out loud, causing the four Maorilan people to look over subconsciously.

Only Sano didn't even turn his head, just glanced at the other party with his peripheral vision.

Konno Shiro waited for ten seconds but failed to wait for Sano's reaction. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye and said with a smile: "Are you not going to pay attention to me?"

"Now that you've seen it, why are you asking?"

Sano's cold reaction made Conan and others blink.

Hmm...Sano seems a bit aggressive today.

Is it because Kyogoku really went abroad?

"...Oh, I am Konno Shiro who lives in room 2002. Please get along well with me for three days and two nights."

Konno Shiro didn't pay attention to the sting in Sano's words and said while pushing up his glasses.

Konno Shiro was about thirty years old, wearing a suit and glasses, with half-long hair, but with bangs parted in the middle, and he looked extremely gloomy.

...Well, actually, it’s just because this guy is so ugly.

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

The two of them had probably met each other before. Shiro Konno quickly recalled that the man answered his question in just 2.86 seconds and that it was Ehara who lived in room 2101.

...By the way, what's wrong with this guy? Why are you counting the speed at which others answer questions?

Sano also glanced at Ehara.

That man was also in his thirties, with medium-long hair...but it was tied behind his head. His characteristic feature was a two-stroke mustache on his upper lip that looked inexplicably like Mouri Kogoro's. He looked a little careless.

Then, somehow, people appeared one after another in front of Sano's eyes as if they had made an appointment, and Konano Shiro also made "character identity setting introductions" one after another like an NPC. .

Jincheng, who lives in Room 2001, is an old man in his 70s or 80s, with long brows and beard, wearing sunglasses. Next to him is... an entourage, who should be a housekeeper, named Jingjiang, who is in his 50s or 60s and is a fat aunt. .

Room 2102 Kamijou, a woman in her twenties, fashionably dressed.

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

Are there still two people missing?

Could he be dead?

Another thing that puzzled Sano was...

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

Sano asked Conan, making him stunned: "Didn't I tell you?"

"Did you tell me?"

The two of them stared at each other, finally realizing that they had missed the setting.

So Conan explained that the organizer of this tour group would appear in the form of a novel character, that is, the Duke of the 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 Duke of the Night."

Conan whispered to Sano.

So that’s it, Sano said that he seemed to have heard this word somewhere.

After coming back to his senses, Sano heard Mao Lilan's exclamation again.

"What are you doing!?"

Turning around, Mao Lilan blushed and covered her butt, glaring at the guy named Jiang Yuan angrily.

It was obviously a trick.

"What's wrong with your butt? You're just a little thin. Come over here and help uncle pour the wine."

In response to Mao Lilan's glare, Jiang Yuan still had a lewd smile on his face. He was not afraid at all, but continued to grab her hand, which made Conan and Suzuki Sonoko instantly angry. The former even squatted down and twisted his foot strength-enhancing shoes. .

...I don’t know if this was the first time Mao Lilan encountered this kind of thing, but he was still stunned and did not directly fight back.

"stop!"

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

Just when Maeda Satoshi was about to start his act of justice, a black shadow fell faster on Jiang Yuan's head.

"ah!!"

Amidst the screams, the frightened Satoshi Maeda could let go, and Jiang Yuan immediately fell to the ground. Then a big foot stepped directly on his right wrist, twisting it hard like stepping on a dirty insect. move.

Jiang Yuan's screams sounded again and became more and more intense.

"He must have touched you with this hand just now."
