Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

Huihara Ai said matter-of-factly: "The food eaten outside is not nutritious. If you don't make it yourself, then what's the point of bringing you breakfast? You might as well just eat instant noodles."

...that makes sense.

It’s just that Haiyuan Ai pursues so-called nutrition. Is that really okay?

Sano searched his memory with difficulty. The image of a codename member typing on the keyboard with a dark circle under his eyes all day long in a dark office, with a pile of empty coffee cans on the table, seemed like it was yesterday.

Well, it is indeed... very nutritious.

Sano stopped talking nonsense and stepped aside. Haihara Ai walked into the house and closed the door.

Sano also sat down and opened the breakfast.

An ordinary appearance, an ordinary fragrance, and an ordinary mouth... Wait a minute!

The moment the breakfast was about to be eaten, Sano braked suddenly and looked at Haibara Ai: "Just in case, I ask, is this your first time cooking? Has anyone tried poison before?"

Haibara Ai was originally looking at Sano's living environment and considering its impact on Sano's mental state. When he heard this, he immediately turned around and stared at the other person with an expressionless face.

"My cooking skills have been certified by Dr. Ali. I can't say anything else. At least compared to you, I should be more skilled...ten chips."

...Since Dr. Ali has already tried the poison, there should be no problem.

Sano nodded and took a taste.

...Haihara Ai makes white porridge with some other side dishes, mainly salty and sweet flavors.

For breakfast, it is refreshing and moisturizing, not greasy, and can easily whet your appetite.

It's hard to tell that this guy, whose lifestyle is similar to that of an otaku, is actually quite good at his craftsmanship.

Haibara Ai stared at Sano as he finished all the breakfast and nodded with satisfaction.

...Sigh, I have to pay attention to both the living environment and the other person's diet. I always feel like an old woman. For those who don't know, I thought I was Sano's guardian.

"By the way, you haven't felt anything wrong lately, have you?"

Hui Yuan Ai asked seriously again.

...Why are you asking yourself what's wrong again?

"I feel fine, nothing is wrong."

Huihara Ai nodded: "That's good. After all, you indirectly killed a codename member. Maybe you will be targeted by the organization for this."

...It turns out that this means something is wrong.

Sano raised his eyebrows and said nothing, but there was something Haihara Ai said wrong.

Pisco was not killed indirectly by Sano, but directly.

A few minutes later, Mao Lilan called. Sano put on the backpack he had packed last night, called Haibara Ai, and threw the garbage bag to the other party, making the fake loli confused again, and then went downstairs to catch up. We took the taxi that the Mori family took and went to the tram station to transfer. We arrived in Osaka around noon.

"Hey, Kudo, and Sano!"

Sano saw Hattori Heiji waving at him from a distance, but...

This guy called Kudo directly when he opened his mouth. Is it really okay?

As expected, Conan hurriedly approached Hattori Heiji and began to murmur in a low voice.

"Hey, Hattori, please don't always call me Kudo, or you might be exposed!"

"Hey...it turns out you haven't been exposed yet. Sorry, I'm used to it."

Sano glanced at Haibara Ai, who was squinting her eyes, and probably knew what the fake loli was complaining about in her heart.

"Then, let me take you to the nearby Tsutenkaku Tower to see the scenery. My dad will come over later, and then I will take you to taste our Osaka food."

As the host, Hattori Heiji took up the leadership role and began to lead the way. However, when his eyes passed over the unfamiliar face of Haibara Ai, he showed some doubts.

"This young lady is... the child of your relative, Sano?"

Conan had contacted Hattori Heiji yesterday and said that in addition to the original three people, two more people would come over.

When I first saw Sano, he was a familiar person, and there was nothing much to say. However, it was the first time for Haibara Ai and Hattori Heiji to meet him, so of course they were a little curious.

As for why I didn't ask if he was the child of a relative of Mori or Kudo... it just didn't feel like genetically.

"no."

Sano covered Haihara Ai's head with one hand, and while ravaging it, he replied: "She is my daughter."

"……Why!??"

Hattori Heiji paused and his eyes widened in an instant: "So you already have a daughter, and why are you so old!?"

"Don't listen to his bragging."

Conan looked at him with dead eyes: "This is my classmate...of course not an ordinary classmate, you will know later."

"oh?"

Hattori Heiji showed a lewd smile: "I can't tell. You have become so... young, and yet you are still so popular with girls. You have a way of doing it!"

"It does not make sense."

Conan curled his lips, and the next second he noticed Haiyuan Ai's cold gaze, and his scalp tightened instantly: "I advise you to shut up quickly, otherwise you may be resented!"

"Hold a grudge? Who bears a grudge?"

The confusion on Hattori Heiji's face just showed, but it changed again the next second, and he looked at Sano with gritted teeth: "Speaking of which, Sano, you really gave me a big surprise when we parted last time... "

Under Conan's reminder, Hattori Heiji finally recalled the emotional kick that Sano gave him at the tram station at the end of his trip to Tokyo in search of Kudo Shinichi.

"Yeah."

In response to this, Sano scratched his face: "I have no impression, but you don't have to thank me. After all, we are all friends, there is no need to worry about these small things."

Not impressed?

Thanks?

Little things?

Hattori Heiji's teeth were grinding to the point of sparks: "Then I really thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Zuo Ye waved his hand absently.

Seeing Sano's expression as if he had completely forgotten about it, Hattori Heiji couldn't say much. After all, he still shouldered the responsibility of being the host and continued to lead the way and explain everything around him.

Conan sneaked up to Sano and asked in a low voice: "Sano, have you really forgotten what you did to Hattori before?"

"...How could I forget? I was just playing with him."

Sano chuckled: "When I turn around and prepare to return to Tokyo, I will give him another kick."

"hiss--"

Hearing this, Conan suddenly took a breath. He didn't expect Sano to be so... coquettish.

After two seconds of silence, Conan still gave Sano a thumbs up, but he liked this action, hehe.

Then Hattori Heiji took Sano and his party to visit Tsutenkaku Tower - the status of this thing in Osaka seems to be equivalent to Tokyo Tower in Tokyo.

Then, a police officer named Sakata, who was arranged by Hattori Heiji's father, took on the role of driver and led a group of people into... the police car.

...It seems that because of a certain case, Hattori Heiji's father is busy right now, so he didn't come over.

Well, Sano seriously suspected that Numabuchi Kiichiro might be related to this case.

It's just that it's a bit crowded with so many people in one car.

In the end, Sakata drove, Hattori Heiji sat in the passenger seat, Sano Mori and his daughter sat in the back seat, Haibara Ai sat on Mori Ran's lap, and Conan sat on Mori Kogoro's lap.

Damn it, if Haiyuan Ai hadn't insisted on following him, he could have sat on Mao Lilan's lap.

Conan glanced at Mouri Kogoro, who also had an unhappy face. Instead of sitting on this uncle's lap, it would be better to sit on Sano's lap.

Conan looked at Sano again.

After Sano glanced at him coldly, sensing his thoughts, Conan looked away with a guilty conscience.

Forget it, Mouri Kogoro's legs seem to be pretty good...

Afterwards, Sano and his party had lunch - ramen that was unusually light and watery, and then went to eat takoyaki, which may also be called octopus balls.

In his entire life, Sano has never eaten snacks with such special ingredients. After all, he can't even accept things like bullfrog and grilled squid.

However, when passing by a small stall on the roadside, something caught Sano's attention.

…That’s a doll.

The doll was so dark that it was hard to even see its appearance clearly. It could only be seen through its shape that it was human-shaped. I didn’t know whether it was designed that way on purpose or if it was dirty.

The reason why Sano was attracted to the doll was precisely because of the black color of the doll.

This thing is really too dark, like a black hole.
