Suzuki, So Rich

After taking Kansuke Yamato to the hospital and taking the fugitive to the local police station, Fujino triggered two System Task and earned a million Fujino before returning to Tokyo.

As for what happened next, that remains to be seen.

After all, Fujino's purpose in going to Shizuoka this time was to obtain the aptx4869 disk.

Saving Kansuke Yamato and making a million yen was something completely unexpected.

The chill has faded, and it's now April 11th, a Thursday.

The bedroom on the fourth floor of the Fujino house.

Fujino sat on the sofa, clutching the newspaper tightly in his hand, his expression somewhat strange.

[The BLACK Detective vs. the Moonlight Magician! High School Detective Fujino Doji defeats Kaito Kid atop Tokyo Tower!]

[The Beika Batman appears in Shizuoka Prefecture! After arresting a serial killer fugitive, he rescues Nagano Prefecture police officer who perished in an avalanche...]

The newspaper articles mainly consist of news and events that have happened in the last two days.

News reports about Fujino made up the majority of the coverage.

"What the heck is 'The Black Detective'?"

Fujino glanced at the headlines in the newspaper and frowned slightly.

There was nothing else wrong, except that the title "Black Detective" puzzled him a little.

However, after reading the contents of the newspaper in detail, he understood why there was such a headline.

Apart from the photo of Kaito Kid in a white suit under the moonlight, the newspaper also published a picture of him in a white suit.

There's also a Fujino wearing a black suit and riding a black motorcycle.

The two pictures present a stark contrast.

In an attempt to generate buzz, unscrupulous reporters combined the Black Star they were protecting with Kaito Kid's Moonlight Magician title to fabricate the name "Black Detective" for Fujino.

"Those despicable paparazzi..."

Fujino stared at his own photo in the newspaper, his lips twitching slightly.

To be honest, even he didn't know when the photo of him riding his motorcycle was taken without his knowledge.

What the heck is "The Black Detective"?

He's not some big shot Xiao Hei fry.

On the other side, at Ekoda High School, a boy was also clutching a newspaper with a furrowed brow.

"Damn it... what kind of Black Detective Fujino is he... he still got away with Kaito Kid!"

Kuroba Kaito stared at the newspaper with a resentful expression, commenting on the contents with obvious dissatisfaction.

Kaito!

Just then, Nakamori Aoko suddenly appeared behind Kuroba Kaito, greeting him and patting him on the back.

"Pain!"

When Kuroba Kaito was hit like that, he immediately felt a soreness in his back, and a wave of fear overwhelmed him, causing cold sweat to break out on his back.

"Kaito, what's wrong?"

Nakamori Aoko looked at Kuroba Kaito's strange appearance and asked in surprise.

"Nothing."

Kuroba Kaito, regaining his composure, noticed the strange expression on Aoko's face and explained, "I just tripped and fell while performing magic yesterday, and my back still hurts a bit..."

"Performing magic tricks... You wouldn't have gone to peek in the women's changing room again, would you...?"

"How is that possible!"

Kuroba Kaito looked like he was about to cry but had no tears left.

If he had actually gone to the women's changing room to peep and gotten hurt, that would be alright... at least he wouldn't have been traumatized... If he could have a second chance, he would never have messed with that bastard with the Frozen Fish!

Meanwhile, at Teitan High School.

"Fujino- Senior, could you come to my house after school?"

"Ha?"

Fujino stared at Sonoko, who had just invited him to come home, and was momentarily stunned.

Why did that silly girl Sonoko invite him to her house?

Could it be that they have some strange idea...?

Could it be that she covets his good looks but has been unable to obtain them and is now trying to force herself on him?

Thinking of this, Fujino frowned slightly. "May I ask, Sonoko, why did you invite me to your house?"

"Because my mother wants to see you."

"?"

Hearing Sonoko's even more outrageous words, Fujino's puzzled little eyes were filled with confusion.

It wasn't Sonoko who wanted to take him home, but Suzuki Tomoko who wanted to see him?

Could it be that it's not Sonoko who has feelings for him, but Tomoko?

Why does it feel like things are getting even more absurd for no apparent reason?

"Ahem."

Fujino coughed lightly, sensing that things weren't that simple.

"Sonoko, can we make this clear? Why does your mother want to see me?"

"It's like this, my mother plans to invite you, Fujino- Senior, to protect the Black Star on our Suzuki Zaibatsu's 60th anniversary ship..."

After Suzuki Sonoko's explanation, Fujino finally understood what had happened.

It was indeed Suzuki Tomoko who wanted to see him.

It's just about protecting the Black Star's commission, not some other strange thing.

After school, at the Suzuki family.

In the simply yet elegantly decorated living room, Fujino sat on the sofa in front of the coffee table, and directly opposite him sat a middle-aged woman who was probably in her forties and still had a charming appearance.

"Fujino- kun, please use tea."

Beside her, Suzuki Ayako, dressed casually, was holding a teapot. She chuckled and bent down to pour black tea into the teacup on the coffee table in front of Fujino.

"Thanks."

Fujino nodded and took a sip of his black tea.

He could tell immediately by the taste that this was definitely a precious, high-grade black tea.

Even the Endless Black Tea provided by the system isn't as good as this one...

No wonder they're rich.

Fujino sighed inwardly, then placed the teacup back on the coffee table and turned his gaze to Suzuki Tomoko, who was sitting opposite him on the sofa. "So, Mrs. Suzuki wants to entrust me with protecting the Black Star this time?"

"That's right."

Suzuki Tomoko gave Fujino a scrutinizing look and said with a light laugh, "I think there is no one more suitable to protect the Black Star than Fujino- kun, who once repelled the Kaito Kid."

"I do have unique methods for dealing with Kaito Kid."

Fujino nodded in agreement with a profound and inscrutable expression.

After a pause, he inquired about the commission fee, "Now that I have a general understanding of the commission, shouldn't we talk about it?"

Since it's a normal commission, rather than a request for help, then as a Full-time Detective, he naturally needs a commission fee to accept the commission.

After all, he, Teng, was not some wealthy and charitable man.

"Regardless of whether you, Fujino- kun, can protect the Black Star, our Suzuki family will pay a commission fee of five million yen."

As the lady of the Suzuki family, Suzuki Tomoko naturally knew that you can't ask for help for nothing.

Even though she's my daughter's best friend, that doesn't mean I can just take advantage of her for free...

What's more, the other party is Great Detective with considerable abilities.

Fujino was stunned. "Five million?"

Suzuki Tomoko, somewhat puzzled, "Does Detective Fujino think it's not enough?"

Fujino quickly waved his hand. "Not a little less! Not a bit less!"

Five million yen, to be honest, is quite a lot.

As for more, Fujino had no expectations.

This level of commission is already a very high standard in the industry.

The Suzuki family is large and wealthy, but that doesn't mean they are a bunch of scoundrels.

After waving his hand, Fujino put on a show of being willing to do his utmost and die for his cause. "Since Mrs. Suzuki is so sincere, then I, Fujino, will do my best to protect the Black Star and catch that so-called phantom thief."

"In that case, I'll leave it to Fujino- kun."

Seeing Fujino's serious expression, Suzuki Tomoko smiled with satisfaction.

The deal went very smoothly this time, and Fujino received the first huge sum of money in the history of time travel: five million!

I have to say, the Suzuki family is really rich!
