Conan’s Unscientific Detective Chapter 082

From Hideaki Nakajima’s mouth, Fujino finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that Mantendou was recently planning to release a new detective game…

And they wanted to invite him to be the supervisor.

However, after some thought, Fujino flatly refused the offer.

No other reason than the fact that this matter was connected to the Organization.

If Fujino remembered correctly, this man named Nakajima was supposed to conduct a transaction with Tequila on the day of the Mantendou game release.

But because Tequila took the wrong box… he was then blown up.

He had already attracted the attention of the Organization, and if he were to go to Mantendou to supervise the game…

If Tequila were to ascend to heaven on the spot, the Organization would directly blame it on him.

That would be troublesome.

…

A few days later.

Although the threat from the Organization still lingered.

But as Fujino had guessed, perhaps out of fear, they didn’t make a move.

So these past few days, he had enjoyed a long-lost routine.

Of course, no system missions were triggered either.

Without system missions, he could only find ways to improve his existing professional skills.

He would go to school daily to grind proficiency points, and after school, he would go to the Konoha Kendo Hall to learn swordsmanship and strengthen his body.

In the evenings, he would put on his assassin’s robe, don his Batman mask, and roam Beika Town, acting as a vigilante.

Proficiency points for the combat expert were easy to gain in this crime-ridden city of Beika.

Every night he went out, he could gain at least twenty proficiency points.

Until today, he had already leveled up his Combat Expert profession to Intermediate, and after upgrading to Intermediate, he also gained a new skill: [Combat Insight].

[Combat Expert: Intermediate ( 10 – 300)

Professional Skills:

Basic Combat Knowledge (Basic combat techniques)

Combat Expert (Intermediate: Increases host’s strength by 40%)

Combat Perception (Beginner: Increases host’s perception by 20%)

Combat Insight (During combat, the host has a 10% chance to predict the opponent’s movements)]

Fujino had experienced predicting movements once on the night he had just leveled up.

It was a perverted skill that could predict other people’s actions.

Unfortunately, it couldn’t be upgraded, and only had a 10% chance.

Aside from the Combat Expert upgrade, Fujino also managed to level up his Chef profession to Intermediate while cooking these past few days.

[Chef: Intermediate (Requires 20 – 300 for upgrade)

Master Chef (Intermediate: Any food prepared by the host has a 10% chance to gain a random enhancement)]

Fujino’s home, bedroom.

[Beika Town crime rate drastically reduced! All because of…]

[Who is the Beika Batman? Appearing suddenly on dark and windy nights, striking hard at criminals in Beika Town!]

[Is it legal for the Beika Batman to use vigilantism when the police cannot reduce the crime rate?]

[The abbot of Sanniji Temple, Tianyong, who was arrested by the Beika Batman some time ago, has developed severe schizophrenia and was admitted to Aoyama Mental Hospital a few days ago to receive Dr. Fukuyama’s latest treatment.]

Fujino sat on the sofa, reading today’s newspaper, his expression involuntarily becoming strange.

The old abbot Tianyong of Sanniji Temple also developed schizophrenia and entered Aoyama Mental Hospital?

He wondered what he had done…

Wasn’t it just putting a sack over that guy’s head and continuously hitting him with a wooden sword all night?

And also using Batman’s batarangs on that guy a few times.

How did that turn into schizophrenia?

And there was Ichiro Numabuchi before.

He hadn’t done anything, just subjected him to dual torment, both mental and physical.

He heard that he was later diagnosed with a mental illness too.

Fujino shook his head, sighing, “People’s psychological endurance is really too poor nowadays.”

After sighing, Fujino took out his phone and checked today’s date.

It was Monday.

Hmm, yesterday was Wednesday.

Very Conan-like.

Having grown accustomed to Conan-like time, Fujino washed up, put on his school uniform, and went to the underground garage.

“It wasn’t easy.”

Looking at the brand-new motorcycle in the parking space, Fujino couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

This motorcycle, bought only a few days ago, was severely damaged in that assassination incident.

Fortunately, when he bought the motorcycle, he had also bought insurance.

So, just yesterday, this brand-new motorcycle was delivered to his home.

Now, he could ride his motorcycle out and have fun again.

After a moment of sentimentality, Fujino got on his motorcycle and headed to Teitan High School.

“Good morning, Senpai!”

“Good morning, Senpai!”

As soon as he arrived at school, Sonoko and Ran, the two young girls, came over to greet him familiarly.

In Class 2-B, Fujino was most familiar with these two.

In a way, they were friends?

At lunch, Fujino, Ran, and Sonoko gathered together.

Sonoko mysteriously whispered to Fujino and Ran, “Hey, Ran, Fujino-senpai, have you heard about the recent urban legend?”

“Urban legend? What urban legend?”

Ran tilted her head, her hair gently swaying, puzzled by what Sonoko was saying.

“It’s the widely rumored Beika Batman.”

Ran looked a bit confused: “Beika Batman?”

“You don’t know?”

Sonoko looked at Ran’s puzzled expression, surprised.

Then she explained, “The Beika Batman is a strange person who recently appeared in Beika Town, wearing a white robe and a Batman mask.”

“A strange person wearing a Batman mask?”

Ran asked, puzzled.

After thinking for a moment, she recalled the Bandage Man, Takahashi, from the Bandaged Man Villa incident.

A look of lingering fear appeared on her face.

Then she quietly asked Sonoko, “Is he a strange person like the one with bandages at your villa before?”

“No, not at all.”

Sonoko shook her head, explaining with a light laugh, “Unlike Takahashi, who wanted to kill people, the Beika Batman is a good person who punishes evil and promotes good.”

Ran asked, “Punishes evil and promotes good?”

“Exactly.”

Sonoko nodded at her words, stood up, and put on a mysterious demeanor, saying, “Every dark and windy night, the Beika Batman will wander Beika Town. Once he discovers someone attempting robbery or following a girl, he will suddenly appear from the shadows and use powerful force to subdue them, usually beating them so badly they end up in the hospital.”

“Although it’s a bit violent, thanks to the legend of the Beika Batman, the crime rate in Beika Town has significantly decreased recently due to those stalkers and robbers.”

“Although beating people up randomly is indeed wrong, the person disguised as Batman is indeed a good person.”

Ran also nodded in agreement.

Fujino: “…”

Sitting next to them, Fujino’s expression became strange as he listened to their conversation.

The Beika Batman was his alternate identity.

Ran said the Beika Batman was a good person.

Doesn’t that mean…

He just got friend-zoned?
