Selling Pokémon from Pirates

"Wow! Conan, how did you do that!!?"

As Director Tsukawa gave up resistance, Conan and others successfully used the library's public phone to call the Neon police.

After a while, a number of police cars arrived at the library.

And the team was still led by Officer Megure and his brother Takagi.

I have to say that although Neon's police officers are a bit useless, they are still worthy of admiration for their dedication to their duties.

No matter at any time, any place, with just a phone call, a bus of people can be brought to you immediately...

Although the case cannot be solved, at least it feels safe.

In the end, with the help of Conan and others, the police successfully captured Director Jinchuan and seized a large amount of drugs in the library.

At this point, the library murder incident has come to an end and is fully understood.

However……

The end of the incident does not mean that Conan can stop.

Youdao is to pretend to be cool for a while, but to be cremated afterwards.

Conan's performance today was so dazzling, and Director Jinchuan's confession forced him to come to the police station.

Although he successfully fooled the police by saying "the doctor's invention".

But the three little ones who have a good relationship with the doctor are not as easy to fool as the neon police!

Ayumi and Genta are not so bad.

As the normal intellectual person in the boy detective team, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya immediately noticed something was wrong.

…

…

"Conan, what's going on with your power?!"

The entrance of the police station.

Officer Takagi, who was responsible for sending the young detective team home, went to the parking lot to pick up the car, leaving the children waiting here.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Mitsuhiko immediately approached Conan and asked him quietly.

"ah?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, looking at Mitsuhiko's suspicious eyes, a guilty cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"It's just...it's the foot strength-enhancing shoes that the doctor made for me, don't you know that?"

"impossible!"

After receiving Conan's answer, Mitsuhiko immediately said confidently:

"You didn't even turn on the power-enhancing shoes at that time!"

"and……"

"You even opened the metal door of the elevator with your bare hands!"

"You definitely have something to hide from us!"

Mitsuhiko stared at Conan with bright eyes, as if he wanted to see through the disguise under Conan's mask with his naked eyes.

Among the normal people in the Young Detective Team, Mitsuhiko is above average in terms of eyesight and IQ.

It's just that because of his ordinary family environment, his talents have never been fully utilized. He just seems to be slightly precocious than normal children.

But I still like things that children care about.

After Conan joined the Young Detective Team, Mitsuhiko's change was undoubtedly the biggest among the three.

In time, he may not be able to become a real detective.

His detective ability will at least be better than that of Conan's prospective father-in-law, Mouri Kogoro!

"…………"

Under Mitsuhiko's gaze, the corners of Conan's mouth twitched slightly.

Ayumi and Genta, who were still immersed in the joy of catching the bad guy, were instantly attracted to Mitsuhiko's words.

"Yes~"

Ayumi stretched out her finger and pointed on her face.

"Conan is indeed a little weird today."

"If it were the past, Conan would have let us escape first after knowing that the curator was a killer."

"But today he looked like he didn't care. It's so strange~"

"That's right!"

Genta Kojima echoed: "I can't open such a hard iron door, but Conan can actually open it!"

"It's just like Masked Superman!"

"Could it be that..."

Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up and he took a step forward, approaching Conan.

Just when Conan thought this smart kid had figured out his secret, he heard Mitsuhiko say excitedly:

"You actually became Masked Superman's disciple, right!? Conan!?"

"…………"

"Aha?"

"What are you talking about?"

Conan was confused again. He never expected that Mitsuhiko, who made himself nervous, would finally come to such a conclusion.

But unfortunately, his conclusion has been recognized by most people, such as Yuantai, Ayumi...

"What!? Is this true!?"

Genta pulled Mitsuhiko behind him, and then looked at Conan excitedly.

Next to him, Ayumi stared at him with a similar expression.

"This...how is this possible!?"

Under three pairs of innocent eyes, Conan stepped back and said with a naive smile:

"There is no Masked Superman in this world."

"That's just a special filming role on TV!"

"You're talking nonsense!!!"×3

Hearing that Conan dared to deny the existence of Masked Superman, the three little ones immediately yelled angrily.

"Masked Superman is real!"

"Yes! I saw him in the mall last time!"

"…………"

Are you sure that the mall didn't hire an actor to pretend to be a kid in order to attract you guys?

Conan was speechless as he looked at the three kids whose IQs were still in the first grade.

Fortunately, at this time, Takagi, who went to pick up the car, had already driven the car to the door of the police station.

Several horns sounded, and the car window was slowly lowered.

"Hey! The car is here! Let's get in the car quickly!"

Conan, who didn't know how to get along with these brats, jumped into the passenger seat and pulled on his seat belt as if he was seeing a savior when he saw Takagi.

Seeing Conan's expression, the three children instantly became more convinced of Mitsuhiko's previous guess.

The three of them looked at each other, then nodded in unison, came to the car, and sat in the seats in the back.

Takagi glanced at the three of them curiously, and immediately drove them back home without saying anything else.

…

…

the next day.

Although Conan was afraid of the three little ones' questioning, he didn't want to stay in that basement full of painful memories for a moment longer.

There was no other way. After confirming that today was a working day, he still carried his schoolbag and came to Didan Primary School.

But what makes Conan strange is that throughout the whole day, the three little animals did not ask him about the "Masked Superman" at all.

Conan thought they had the nature of children and forgot about it after a day.

Immediately, he didn't pay too much attention. After school, he started walking in the direction of Wanjie Detective Agency.

However……

What he didn't notice was...

From behind a trash can he passed by, three little heads suddenly popped out and were following him furtively.

…

…

"Hey, are you back?"

All Worlds Detective Agency.

Bato, who was watching Masked Superman at his desk, saw Conan coming back and immediately said hello with a smile.

"Back."

Conan responded, then took off his shoes and put on his slippers.

Entering the reception room of the detective agency, he glanced around and made sure that there was no change from when he left. Then he sighed helplessly:

"What's going on? There's no commission today?"

"Yes, no one came to the door."

Bato answered casually, and then continued to look at Masked Superman intently.

These are the few interesting things Bator has discovered since he came to this world.

Although the fighting power in this world is extremely weak, the animations shown on TV are more exciting than the last.

Apart from observing Conan's training progress and taking Conan to solve cases, Bato's daily tasks were spent entirely on the TV set given by Yuanzi.

Now, he is already a loyal Masked Superman fan!

All kinds of Masked Superman peripherals, whether cards or toys, can be said to be all available. They are directly displayed on one wall, making him look like a senior otaku!

He directly bought a complete set of Masked Superman costumes, which are available in various forms.

Compared to the commission fee for a murder case, the cost of a peripheral toy is nothing to him.

Although... those commission fees are almost all earned by Conan.

…

…

"Go, go, go! Masked Superman! Go forward!!!"

On TV, the plot of the anime entered a climax phase. The excited Bato stood up and shouted loudly along with the exciting music on the TV.

"Hey! It's not necessary, is it? It's just a children's show."

Seeing Batuo, who was already quite young, acting in such a childish manner, Conan immediately put one hand on his forehead and looked speechless.

When he thought about whether he was going to school or after school, he had to stay with a group of guys who liked Masked Superman, and his head couldn't help but feel painful.

At this moment, he even began to miss the days of living at Xiaolan's house.

At the very least, during that time, I solved new cases almost every day, which made me feel happy.

No longer watching Bator, who was already addicted to TV, Conan skillfully picked up the phone, called the hotel, and made a reservation for today's dinner.

However……

Before he can decide what to eat today...

The doorbell of the detective agency suddenly rang again!

"Is there a commission?!"

When Conan heard the doorbell, it was like an antenna was erected above his head. He immediately ran to the door and opened the door.

Then……

“surprise!!!”

The three little ones at the door immediately showed a happy smile on their faces when they saw Conan the gatekeeper, and then they shouted loudly.

"This...isn't this right..."

Seeing that the client outside the door was not the client he was expecting, and was even a person who gave him a headache, the light in Conan's eyes quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then he asked in despair:

"How did you find this place!?"

"Uh huh huh~"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya shook his finger, and then said to Conan proudly:

"Conan, I have to say that as a member of the Junior Detective Team, you are very incompetent!"

"I didn't even notice anyone was following me!"

"…………"

It's obviously you guys who are following me, why do you still act like I did something wrong?

At this time, Bato, who was watching TV, also heard the sound here and staggered over.

"What's wrong, Conan?"

"Did you bring an ignorant little girl into your home again?"

"…………"

"I told you, that little girl came to thank me for saving her from the kidnappers!"

"I didn't kidnap you!!!"

Facing unreliable people on both sides, Conan felt that his world had turned gray.

However, after the three little ones discovered Ba Tuo, they immediately shouted in surprise:

"Wow! Green hair!"

Ayumi sighed, then smiled politely at Bator:

"Hello, big brother, we are Conan's classmates and we came to play with him!"

"Oh, is that so? Then why don't you come in?"

Bato, who didn't dislike children very much, waved his hand nonchalantly and motioned for the three little ones to enter the house.

"Hey hey~"

Conan on the side also wanted to say something.

But the three little ones jumped directly into the house after saying thank you.

When Bator saw that the visitor was looking for Conan, he stopped paying attention and returned to his desk, continuing to watch Masked Superman!

All of a sudden!

The familiar voice attracted the attention of the three little ones!

"It's Masked Superman!!!"

Yuantai felt as if he smelled the smell of eel rice, and his whole body was instantly shaken.

After changing into slippers, the three of them went directly to the desk. When they saw the figure of Masked Superman on the TV, a pair of small eyes seemed to be pregnant with starlight, shining brightly.

"Wow!!! Didn't Masked Superman say today that updates will be suspended for a week? Big brother, why do you have Masked Superman here!?"

"Um?"

Seeing the three little ones surrounding him, Ba Tuo didn't feel annoyed, but looked proud.

He extended his thumbs up to himself and said:

"Uh huh huh~"

"This is a copy of the CD I specially asked for because of my connections after helping someone from the TV station solve a murder case!"

"Don't talk nonsense everywhere!"

"Wow~"

Hearing Ba Tuo's words, the three little ones immediately nodded vigorously, and then watched TV attentively.

Conan: "…………"

So, why are you following me?

After being speechless for a while, Conan picked up the ordering phone again and added some more dishes.

Needless to say, looking at their posture, they must be dining here today.

It ended with an explosion...

The plot of Masked Superman on TV has finally come to an end, and the meal ordered by Conan has been delivered.

After skillfully handing the money to the clerk, Conan shouted into the room:

"It's time to eat!"

"knew!"

Bato responded, and soon the three little ones arrived at the restaurant on the first floor.

Several people were chatting and laughing, discussing the plot of Masked Superman just now.

With Bato's personality, it can be said that there is no obstacle at all in communicating with first-grade students.

After the meal, everyone quickly became familiar with each other.

At the dinner table, Ayumi was sitting on the adult's stool, her little feet in white socks swinging back and forth under the hem of her skirt, looking naughty and cute.

Putting down her bowls and chopsticks, she suddenly remembered what she was going to do today.

Recalling what Mitsuhiko said before, she quickly looked up at Bator and asked softly:

"Brother Bato, do you know that Conan took someone else as his disciple?"

"Huh? Why do you want to take someone else as your teacher?"

Ba Tuo raised his head and said puzzledly:

"Did that kid receive training from anyone besides me?"

Three little ones: "!!!"

"Conan, has he been receiving training from Brother Bato?" Mitsuhiko asked quickly.

"yes."

Bato, who was picking his teeth, nodded in response without hesitation, and complained dissatisfiedly:

"But it should be said that this kid's talent is ridiculously poor."

"It actually took me a month to practice to this level. It's really embarrassing for me."

In one month, an ordinary person was cultivated...

If this achievement were known to colleagues in the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce, they would probably be furious.

no way.

The limits of this world are too low, causing Conan's growth to be very slow.

The current results are all due to the excellent training plan.

However……

Ba Tuo just mentioned it casually.

But when the three little ones heard this, they immediately became interested!

"So, Brother Bato, you are the human form of Masked Superman!?"

"Let me just say that the human body on TV is just an illusion put out by Masked Superman to confuse the enemy!"

"I also saw on the news that he was in love with another woman! As a Masked Superman, how can he be in love with a woman other than Natsume Rei!"

"By the way, Brother Bato, what do you think of our talents? We also want to learn fighting skills from you!"

"Yes! Yes! We also want to become superheroes like Masked Superman!"

"…………"

"…………"

The three little ones were talking to themselves, which stunned Batuo who was picking his teeth.

But soon, he understood everything.

It turns out that these three little guys saw Conan being born and discovered his powerful power, so they were sure that Conan was learning fighting skills from Masked Superman!

I have to say...

Even if you have an IQ of over ten years old, you will definitely not have such thoughts.

But after hearing the words of the three little ones, Ba Tuo suddenly felt a sense of elation.

Thinking of the battle of Masked Superman in the anime, he suddenly felt...

It seems like I can't be a Masked Superman now, right?
