It Also Feels Like Home

After receiving the commission fee, Fujino drove to the Convenience Store.

After purchasing some daily necessities, I drove home.

[Host detected to have completed Detective Profession Mission: SPIDE]

[System Task reward: 1 million yen, 100 Detective Reputation have been issued]

[A request has been completed by the host.]

[System Bonus Reward: 50 Detective Reputation Points]

[Current Detective Level: Intermediate One-Star (500|1000)]

Current balance: 4.2 million yen

Four million?

Fujino sat in the driver's seat, examining the system interface in front of him.

Four million yen might have been a lot for him in the past.

But for him, who is currently short of money, it is indeed not much.

Opening a store requires three to four million yen.

The Fighting Expert's professional proficiency is also maxed out; a breakthrough requires three million yen.

There haven't been any beginner-level draws for the Enhancement Card recently, and our stock is probably running low.

Upgrading with the initial Enhancement Card you draw also costs money.

He currently has 4.2 million yen in his system account.

He had 500,000 yen in cash on hand, which he kept for daily expenses.

After all, we have two girls at home. Although we don't usually spend much money, we still need to keep some money in case of emergency.

As for where this 500,000 came from...

Don't ask, the answer is that Beika Batman a chivalrous hero who robs the wicked and helps the poor.

Anyway, once those people are in jail, the money won't be of any use.

"There are more and more places where we're short of money..."

After parking his car in the underground garage, Fujino walked out of the garage and looked up at his own four-story house.

The description of the small building is not entirely accurate.

Compared to the Mori family's three-story house, his four-story house was much larger.

Each floor has two rooms, each room is over 100 square meters. The entire building is painted gray, giving it a modern feel.

The lights on the third floor are off; it seems that Akemi Miyano and Ai Haibara are asleep.

Through the moonlight, the words "Fujino Detective Agency" could be faintly seen on the window on the right side of the second floor, echoing the words of the Mori family across the street.

Although there was a sense of competition between them.

But after his management from the time travel to the present, Uncle Mori doesn't have any aversion to him.

Sometimes she would even act as a go-between, introducing him to one or two cases involving catching adulterers or finding lost pets.

Of course, he refused all those requests.

The commissions for catching adulterers or finding cats and dogs typically only amount to tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan each time, and most of the time they need to be done for several days, so the return rate is not very high.

I looked away and slowly went upstairs.

As soon as Fujino pushed open the door to the fourth-floor bedroom, he saw two large bowls covered with plastic wrap on the table.

Next to the large bowl was a note that read, "You've worked hard!"

It seems that Ai Haibara and Akemi Miyano made dinner because he hadn't come back so late.

Unwrap the plastic wrap, and you'll find stewed beef and rice inside.

Fujino picked up his chopsticks and ate his fill.

The flavor was a bit bland; it seems like it was cooked by Ai Haibara.

Having transmigrated to this world for some time now, Fujino has experienced a lot, going from saving up one million for half a year to now earning one million with just one mission.

His physique was no longer as sickly as before, and his strength had also improved.

His path as a detective broadened with each step, and he has now become a renowned Great Detective.

The empty four-story building gradually became more spacious, no longer as lonely as before.

There's now an extra "older sister" who does housework and a little girl who can cook.

Although it is a false image built on pretense.

But at least it feels a bit like home now.

After dinner, Fujino tidied up the dishes and put them in the kitchen. After washing them, he sat on the sofa, opened the system interface, and started drawing beginner Profession Ball.

He doesn't have many Enhancement Card left.

At this rate, it won't be long before we run out of supplies.

I need to draw some Enhancement Card to replenish my resources.

There's no rush for Fighting Expert to open shops or anything like that.

But Enhancement Card are indispensable.

After all, that thing is the cheapest and most convenient way to quickly improve one's strength in a short period of time.

890,000 yen, draw!

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: 3 Beginner Reaction Ability Enhancement Card, 1 Beginner Perception Ability Enhancement Card, 1 Blue Beverage Knowledge Book, 3 Beginner Strength Enhancement Card, 1 Blue Shen Nong Oral Liquid, and 1 Advanced Strength Enhancement Card.]

"Did they release two blue ones?"

Fujino's fingertips clearly opened the system inventory, and he began to view the detailed descriptions of the two blue items:

[Beverage Knowledge Book: Containing methods and techniques for making various beverages, with this book you'll never need to buy drinks again!]

Shen Nong Oral Liquid: An oral liquid made from traditional Chinese herbs. It has a slightly bitter taste, but there's nothing strange about it; it's truly made entirely of traditional Chinese herbs. It's a disposable product that can quickly heal the user's injuries, with the recovery speed depending on the severity of the injury.

"Something for quickly healing injuries, and a book on beverages?"

He felt alright about these two things.

I don't know what the purpose of this beverage is, but I might need it when I open a shop in the future.

As for Shen Nong Oral Liquid...

Although he doesn't think he'll encounter anyone who could seriously traumatize him, it's always good to be prepared.

Something is better than nothing.

After closing the system interface, Fujino opened the Magician Enthusiast Alliance chat room and began his nightly routine of chatting in the group before going to bed in his previous life.

Although it was already evening, the chat group, which only had a few people, was still quite lively.

As soon as he entered the chat group, Fujino saw that people were discussing things about him.

Of course, it's not Sun Xiaochuan's online name.

Rather, it was him as a detective.

[Phantom: Did you hear? It seems that Kaito Kid was defeated again by that detective named Fujino.]

[Ikasama Douji: Is that the High School Detective? I've heard of him.]

[The Taciturn Ventriloquist: My ten-year-old daughter is also a fan of his detective work.]

Fujino examined the chat messages about himself, a slight smile playing on his lips, feeling a strange sense of unease.

However, his slightly smug mood was immediately ruined by the two idiots.

[Escape King: Is he really that amazing? I've never heard of him before.]

[Vanishing Pani: So why are high school students getting involved in all that stuff instead of studying? I think it's because there's not enough homework.]

[The Vanishing Pani: The Japan police are hopeless; now they even need high school students to help catch a thief (laughs)]

[The Escape King: And with the help of High School Detective, the thief still got away. Is that detective too useless, or Kaito Kid too strong... But this isn't the first time, the Japan police are doomed sooner or later.]

As he stared at the computer screen, Fujino's face gradually darkened.

He took a deep breath and then rubbed his head.

You're a troll, aren't you?
