Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

"Sir Lancelot has left, but in terms of force, Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty are more difficult to deal with!"

Altria turned and looked at Matsumoto Akira. They could still barely deal with the threat of force. After all, there was no one here who was so powerful that they could not resist.

But in terms of strategy, it is hard to say. After all, whether it is Sherlock Holmes or Moriarty, their wisdom should not be underestimated.

After looking in one direction for a long time, Matsumoto Akira suddenly stretched out his hand and shot out a bolt of lightning, directly destroying a machine there. Then he turned around and spoke.

"It doesn't matter. Holmes and Moriarty will fight each other on their own! We don't need to focus on them for now!"

After the fight, Kyogoku Makoto left directly. No matter how he planned to leave, at least the next time would no longer belong to him.

"Since this is what you said, I will just take it as the truth!"

The most reliable person here is Matsumoto Akira, who is not their master. So after hearing what Matsumoto Akira said, Altria looked at him deeply, nodded and stopped talking.

"Don't worry, let's go back now and take a good look at the person who suddenly came to our door!"

Matsumoto Akira smiled, but Altria, who was beside him and heard what he said, did not smile. Instead, she frowned and asked.

"Has anyone secretly found our place? Is Medusa the only one who is safe there?"

"Don't worry. If there was any danger, I would have gone back earlier. I'm just a little confused. Why would she, who is not a participant in the Holy Grail War, come to us?!"

Matsumoto Akira shook her head. The relationship between Koizumi Akako and Daidoji Tomoyo alone meant that she would not act rashly.

"You should always be on guard against others! This is something I've learned from experience. I want to eat the meal you cook when we get back!"

Seeing that Matsumoto clearly believed it, Altria did not insist on her point of view. After giving a word of advice, she immediately changed the topic to eating.

Although I was born in a food desert, I have eaten delicious food after all. Some of the ingredients are incomparable to modern ingredients.

Moreover, she is not the type to be accustomed to some oriental delicacies, but Matsumoto Akira's cooking skills make up for this.

Of course, sometimes Mao Lilan’s cooking skills are still okay, but they are relatively worse.

"No problem, I will definitely feed you when I get back!"

Matsumoto Akira looked at Altria's belly wrapped in armor with a smile. He had seen many big eaters, so it was nothing strange.

After all, although Tom and Jerry sometimes have bloated stomachs when eating, their stomachs will return to normal immediately after they turn around a little.

For them, the so-called bloated belly is just a state they want to be in.

But it’s different on the Heroic Spirit’s side. Artoria doesn’t seem to have a bloated stomach after eating.

"Why are you looking at my belly?"

Altria was very sharp in noticing Matsumoto Akira's gaze and immediately rolled her eyes at him.

"Although I am a big eater, that is only based on my bloodline. There is no real rumor like the one in some legend that I ate Britain to death!"

"I haven't thought of these rumors, but since you can bring them up, I guess the source is not just a small-scale rumor, right?"

Matsumoto Akira began to think, maybe this rumor is not necessarily just a rumor?

"I should have known not to bring this up. People like you will start thinking about it as soon as it's mentioned, and it's easy to overthink once you start thinking like this—"

Altria looked at Matsumoto Akira with some dissatisfaction. The smarter a person is, the more likely they are to think too much.

Obviously, it is just an ordinary rumor, but sometimes in their thinking, they tend to imagine it into various facts and automatically complete various cause and effect relationships in their minds.

In the past, there was never a lack of smart people around Altria, especially during the war-torn times.

These smart people provided Artoria with countless correct suggestions, and Artoria gladly accepted their opinions.

Eventually, she emerged victorious in many wars. However, when the war ended and Artoria began to officially govern the country, everything began to change.

It's not that smart people are wrong, nor that too many smart people will be a bad thing. The main reason is that there are too many smart people, but the local resources are insufficient and they have no strength to expand, which leads to internal strife.

The whole country fell apart in an instant, and everything was gone. Fortunately, it seemed that the only smart person here was Matsumoto Akira, and no one would fight him if he had his own crazy thoughts.

Matsumoto Akira glanced at Altria and always felt that she was thinking about something unfriendly to him?

Moreover, Matsumoto Akira was very sure that his guess should be correct. After all, now he could basically guess something correctly.

"Forget it, let's go back first and see why that witch lady came to find us!"

Shaking his head, Matsumoto Akira turned and left, and Altria's figure disappeared soon after. She didn't intend to follow him back, so it would be better for her to disappear directly and save the trouble of traveling.

After a while, Matsumoto Akira arrived at the temporary hotel where he was staying, but when he walked into the hotel he found out.

The relationship between Koizumi Akako and the other girls seemed to be progressing very quickly. Except for Medusa, who had been ignoring them and standing quietly on guard beside them, everyone else was chatting happily with Koizumi Akako.

"Matsumoto-san is back? Why didn't you tell me in advance so I could go to the door to greet him~"

There was a smile on Koizumi Akako's lips, and she spoke immediately when she saw Matsumoto Akira coming in.

"Then I won't bother you! After all, it seems a bit weird~"

Whenever Matsumoto Akira thought of that scene, he suddenly felt weird inside, mainly because this was not his home, but a hotel.

This high-end hotel also has a temporary butler. Although they cannot actually be called butlers, their responsibilities are no different from those of a butler.

The only difference is that the other party does not have a direct relationship with you, so there is no difference in other aspects.

The other party just came up with me. If there really was someone like Koizumi Hongzi waiting for me at the door, it would be troublesome.

How did Koizumi Hongzi get up here? Let's not talk about it for now, but the group of people below, whether they are security guards, housekeepers or other personnel, don't know that Koizumi Hongzi got up here.

After finishing speaking, Matsumoto Akira turned to look at Mouri Ran. Mouri Ran nodded and walked to the side with Takasaka Enoka and Daidoji Tomoyo.

"Ran! Let me talk to Koizumi-san first!"

Altria also showed up, said hello to Takasaka Enoka, and walked together towards the leisure TV area nearby.

Koizumi Akako took a special look at Altria. If she hadn't known the other party's identity in advance, who would have thought that the other party was King Arthur?

Anyway, if I didn't spoil the plot in advance, I would never have thought of such a thing.

"What's up, Koizumi-san?"

After Xiaolan and the others walked over there, Matsumoto Akira asked as he walked towards the kitchen.

"Just call me Anko~ What a shame, I wasn't chosen for such an interesting event. By the way, is this Holy Grail War led by you, Matsumoto-san?"

Koizumi Akako followed Matsumoto Akira into the kitchen with a smile, and even helped Matsumoto Akira.

"It can't be said that I was the one who took full control of it, but it did have a lot to do with me!"

Matsumoto Akira would definitely not tell us what the specific relationship is, but other than that, there is nothing else that cannot be said.

"Then why not choose me? I really want to see if I can summon the predecessors of those witches!"

Koizumi Akako was quite interested in whether she could summon the predecessors of the witches in the past, but unfortunately she was not chosen in the end.

"It's useless for me to do this kind of thing. I can't control it. I didn't know who would be chosen before. I only found out about it afterward!"

Matsumoto Akira didn't look back at Koizumi Akako, he just concentrated on cooking. As a high-end hotel, of course, it provides a variety of fresh ingredients, all of which are transported up temporarily.

In fact, the chef here also provides the most exquisite dinner, but unfortunately Altria doesn’t like it very much, so Matsumoto Akira had to do it himself.

Fortunately, this high-end hotel was able to easily satisfy Matsumoto Akira's ideas. After hearing Matsumoto Akira's request, all the ingredients were transported here in advance.

This was also the reason why Koizumi Akako and the others were able to detect Matsumoto Akira's return in advance. After all, the ingredients that Matsumoto Akira requested had already been delivered in advance, so it would definitely not take long for Masaharu Matsumoto to arrive.

"So you haven't answered my previous question yet! What on earth are you doing here this time?!"

After Matsumoto Akira finished cutting all the vegetables in his hands, he finally had time to turn around and look at Koizumi Akako.

"Isn't this to help Kuroba Kaito summon Sherlock Holmes? But I didn't expect that the one summoned in the end was this great detective. I don't want to stay there!"

Not only the Phantom Thief, who doesn't like this kind of famous detective who can analyze everything, even the witch tries to stay away from such a famous detective.

Unless the witch is particularly fond of the detective or even infatuated with him, someone like Koizumi Akako will try to stay away from him.

Although Matsumoto Akira also has some detective elements in it, it is obvious that he does not regard detective as his main job, so it’s all good.

"If you want to meet other Heroic Spirits, then you should go find Altria and Medusa!"

Matsumoto Akira glanced at Koizumi Akako, then turned back after a moment and concentrated on cooking.

My skills have been honed over the years, especially now that I have a better control over my body, I can definitely control the amount of seasonings I use quite well.

You don't even need any special measurements to weigh them. Even Tom and Jerry would never think that there is anything wrong with the dishes cooked by Matsumoto Akira.

"Okay, okay, I'll make it clear!"

Koizumi Hongzi raised her hands and made a gesture of surrender. "Compared to those heroic spirits, I am more interested in you, Matsumoto. I have never heard of heroic spirits or the Holy Grail War before!"

"I have a feeling that if I can stay by your side, I will definitely encounter more similar things!"

"It's really curious, could it be that you are the Child of the Time of this era?"

Koizumi Hongzi widened her eyes and stared straight at Matsumoto Akira's profile. The Son of the Era is like the Son of the World, and can be said to be the Son of Destiny of that era.

Just like Clow Reed in the past, he can do things that no other magician of his time can do, and can create things that no other magician of his time can create.

In that era, Clow Reed seemed to have no limits and was marching towards his set goals.

The powers in the Clow Cards are no secret, but they cannot be used without corresponding inheritance.

This is also the reason why no other magicians covet the Clow Cards. After all, none of them can break the limitations of Clow Reed.

If you can't do it, then there's no need to try. Besides being embarrassed, you'll also make unnecessary enemies!

After all, although everyone is saying that Clow Reed has passed away, it is still a question whether that man is actually dead or not, after all, other magicians of the same era are still alive.

How can we be sure that Clow Reed, the son of the era who reached the pinnacle of that era, has died?

Koizumi Hongzi had also heard of it. She could still understand the Clow Cards that represented the elemental powers, but the conceptual powers such as time were completely different.

How can one use this kind of high-end power without a deep understanding?

Not to mention sealing it in the Clow Cards so that future generations who don't have much knowledge of these concepts can use it.

Even for magicians and witches like them who hid in the dark and thought they knew a lot about magic, it was still a fantasy.

"Child of Time?"

Matsumoto Akira paused slightly. Normally speaking, he should not be the son of the times in this world. After all, he is an outsider. However, this world is not a normal world either. It looks like a fusion world.

So, apart from him, who would be the true son of the times in this world?
