Magic

Two hours later, the bowling machine ran out of credit.

The Sonoko was filled with games for two hours, but no grand slam was achieved.

Aside from a few mistakes, Ran achieved consecutive Grand Slam results in her last three matches.

Fujino, on the other hand, appears to be even more perverted.

Forget about the Grand Slam, he even broke the pins.

As for Conan...

All I can say is that, without the height of the two women and Fujino, he would probably fly off his feet while bowling.

This size is more like a bowling ball for Fujino.

"Ah! That makes me feel so much more relaxed!"

At the entrance of the bowling alley, Ran stretched and remarked, "It's really nice to bowl on a weekday."

"It's so nice to finally have the midterm exams over; it's such a relief."

The Sonoko echoed this sentiment.

She felt she was in very good form for this midterm exam.

You should be able to get a good score.

Fujino, who was standing to the side, nodded silently.

Although he didn't feel any relaxed atmosphere.

But while bowling, he got used to the force he could control, which was quite rewarding.

But what made him even more gratified was that Conan's curse had finally stopped working.

No murders occurred at the bowling alley.

Okay, let's stay calm. Today was just another ordinary day.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Then, a series of coughs came from behind.

Fujino turned his head and saw Conan coughing frantically.

One sound after another, could this kid have pneumonia?

"Conan, are you alright?"

Ran leaned down gently and asked with concern.

"Fine."

Conan shook his head. "It's probably just a cold."

"Is that so?"

Ran raised her hand and looked at the time on her watch. "It's only three o'clock... Well, I guess I'll go home."

It has to be said.

Conan is really a mood killer.

Therefore, today's trip had to end abruptly.

Just as they were about to go home, Ran suddenly remembered something.

It turned out that she had forgotten to go to the bank to cash the check her father had received from the agent yesterday.

Then, led by Sonoko, the group arrived at a nearby Toto Bank.

"Isn't this Miss Sonoko? What brings you here today?"

The bank manager recognized Suzuki Sonoko at a glance and warmly welcomed the group.

"Oh, I came here with my friend today."

"So that's how it is."

The bank manager glanced at Fujino and the others, and seeing that he didn't recognize them, bowed slightly to Suzuki Sonoko and said, "Please give my regards to your father."

'The daughter of the Suzuki Zaibatsu family is indeed different.'

This time, Fujino and Conan were surprisingly on the same page.

Fujino vaguely remembered the bank manager's face when he last applied for a mobile POS machine at another Toto Bank.

Sure enough, this ugly and wicked Japan society still prioritizes money.

Or is this simply how humans are?

For some reason, I have a strange feeling of Ai.

At this moment, Conan started coughing again.

"Is the child alright?"

Just then, a man in a brown suit walked over from the side.

The man took a throat lozenge out of his pocket and handed it to Conan.

The packaging box is green and has a cartoon pear pattern on it.

The man handed the throat lozenges to Conan and then left.

"A bank?"

Fujino sat next to Ran and Sonoko, looking around the quiet bank, feeling that something was wrong.

This bank is far too quiet.

Moreover, ever since he entered this bank, he has always had a dangerous feeling in his heart.

Could it be that someone is going to rob the bank?

No way, no way, how could he encounter such a coincidence?

"Bang!"

Then, accompanied by a sound.

A man holding a pistol burst into the bank through the back door.

After knocking out a bank employee, he went straight into the bank.

He's a robber!

"Don't move! Hands up!"

The robber pointed his gun at the people inside the bank and shouted threats.

The people inside the bank remained unusually calm in response.

They all stood up from their seats and raised their hands above their shoulders.

Clearly, they were very adept at becoming hostages to bank robbers.

'We actually encountered a bank robbery...'

Fujino also stood up from his seat, looking speechless.

He looked at Conan beside him with a hint of complaint in his eyes.

He had originally thought he would be able to get through the day peacefully.

I never expected to encounter this just before I was about to leave.

The luck of the Shinigami Elementary School Student is truly something else.

"A new Detective Profession Mission has been detected. Please check it."

Just then, a system notification interrupted Fujino's thoughts.

Before Fujino could even open the system interface, the robbers on the other side made their move again.

Fujino looked up and saw the robber holding a gun in one hand, staring at the cash on the bank counter, complaining, "Damn it, this world is so unfair! Rich people are so rich!"

He then ushered everyone in the bank to the side.

The man who gave Conan the throat lozenges before the order was given to help pack the cash.

Fujino didn't quite understand this action.

Normally, shouldn't he have ordered the woman to help him put the money in?

In terms of physique and composure, female bank employees are more suitable.

Moreover, after the robbery was completed, they could forcibly abduct female employees and take them hostage.

If it gets any more outrageous, tsk tsk tsk.

"Ran, Fujino- Senior... what should we do now?"

Although Sonoko had experienced a robbery once or twice, she was clearly still not very skilled at being a hostage.

She asked Fujino and Ran in a low voice.

"Don't worry... as long as you don't move around too much, you should be fine."

Ran seemed quite familiar with bank robbery operations, responding softly.

Fujino, on the other hand, stood silently to the side.

He opened the system interface and checked the System Task that had just appeared:

Detective Profession Mission: Bank Robbery

Mission Objective: Solve the bank robbery, arrest the robbers, and identify their accomplices.

Mission Reward: One million yen, one hundred Detective Reputation

Mission countdown: three hours

This must be the bank robbery case.

But what's the point of cracking this...?

As he pondered, Fujino began to observe the robbers' actions.

Judging from his body language, the robber should be a male in his twenties or thirties.

The man was wearing a blue windbreaker and looked just like an Ele. me delivery guy.

The pistol he was holding was also somewhat crudely made.

It's probably not a genuine handgun.

"Cough cough!"

At that moment, the robber coughed twice.

Then, he reached into his pocket, took something out, glanced at it, and casually tossed it aside.

Then, he moved the chair next to him under his bottom and reached into the suit jacket draped over the chair, groping for something.

At this moment, the bank employee who had just been knocked unconscious regained consciousness.

Amidst the expectant, or perhaps anxious, gazes of the crowd, the bank employee picked up a wooden stick and cautiously approached the robber.

Just as the bank clerk raised the Wooden Sword, a telephone rang suddenly.

The alert robber immediately realized what was happening, turned around, and pointed his gun at the bank employee.

"Bang!"

With a gunshot, the bank employee fell to the ground.

Good opportunity...

Seeing this, Fujino's resolve wavered slightly, and he immediately activated his Detective Enhancement:

[Detective Enhancement Activated: Host's physical abilities increased by 225%, 8 minutes remaining]

Then, Fujino used the Enhancement Card.

[Strength Enhancement Card has been used: Host's power increased by 100%]

[Perception Ability Card Used: Host's perception ability increased by 100%]

[Reaction Ability Enhancement Card has been used: Host's reaction ability increased by 100%]

A series of system notification sounds rang in my ears.

Upon hearing the sound, Fujino paused, yanked the Wooden Sword off his neck, and rushed forward at lightning speed.

The Wooden Sword necklace in his hand suddenly grew larger and he held it tightly.

Thanks to the effects of the foot-strengthening device and various enhancements, Fujino had already rushed up behind the assailant before he could even turn around.

Bang!

Fujino swung his Wooden Sword and smashed it directly onto the robber's helmet.

With a loud bang, the top of the helmet was smashed open.

The Wooden Sword, having breached the helmet's defenses, slammed into the assailant's skull.

Immediately, a dull sound, proving that this was a not-so-good brain, echoed.

Then, the pistol fell to the ground, and the man was knocked unconscious by the Wooden Sword.

"Wooden Sword?!"

Conan, who was watching this scene from the side, was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the Wooden Sword in Fujino's hand, he was somewhat bewildered.

He had seen that Wooden Sword more than once; it was something that Fujino often used when subduing thugs.

But how did this Wooden Sword suddenly appear in Fujino's hand?!

Where could such a large Wooden Sword be hidden?

Could it be...?

Could it be a magic trick?

The police arrived at the scene quickly.

Fortunately, the bank employee was only hit in the side of his abdomen and was not in any life-threatening danger.

After the doctor examined the perpetrator's injuries, no serious injuries were found, and he was immediately taken back for investigation.

Of course, the actual interrogation can only be conducted after he regains consciousness.

"How come you guys always end up at crime scenes... Oh well, it's a miracle you weren't injured."

At the crime scene, Juzo Megure looked at the familiar faces and sighed softly.

Then he patted Fujino on the shoulder and said with emotion, "But this time, we still have to thank you, Fujino. If you hadn't subdued the thug in time, that guy might have done something outrageous."

"Senior, you looked really cool just now!"

The Sonoko was chattering away, revealing an expression of a little girl's infatuation.

"By the way, Fujino, where did you get your Wooden Sword?"

At this moment, Conan Fujino taken out the Wooden Sword, suddenly asked.

Fujino: "It's magic."
