Koizumi Akako: What Do You Mean, He Doesn't Like Me?!

"..."

Fujino, who had just retrieved Xiao Hei and stood up from the bench, paused for a moment after hearing the conversation between the two.

I'm standing right behind you, but you can't see me!

Professor Agasa wanted to contact him just to study that gem.

Professor Agasa's way of thinking is truly unique...

I can only say he truly deserves to be called a Detective Conan!

Fujino then rubbed his chin, glancing at Conan with interest, thinking to himself, "I wonder what kind of expression this kid will have when he finds out I'm Beika Batman... It'll be quite a sight, won't it?"

"Why did it suddenly go dark?"

"And I think I saw Kaito Kid!"

"I saw it too!"

At this moment, the little ones and Ai Haibara ran out from Building B next door, chattering about what had just happened.

"Why are you guys only coming out now?"

Conan glanced at the group of children upon hearing the voice, and exclaimed in surprise, "I remember you guys were among the first to come down, right?"

The kids chattered on, explaining that they had encountered a woman carrying a child on the 66th floor, and then saw Kaito Kid at the connecting bridge on the 60th floor. The atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

However, compared to the relaxed atmosphere among the children, the atmosphere on the side was much more tense.

"President!"

Sawaguchi Chinami, holding her phone, reported to Tokiwa Mio, "It's just been confirmed that the main computer on the 40th floor was destroyed by the explosion, and all the important data on our group's servers has disappeared!"

"How so..."

Tokiwa Mio murmured absentmindedly, then looked up at the building in front of her, her face immediately darkening.

Fujino glanced back at the two of them, his gaze towards Tokiwa Mio seemingly lost in thought.

Data loss is fatal for a technology company, and Tokiwa Group will likely suffer a significant blow as a result...

In fact, he had already backed up the Tokiwa Group's server data when he arrived yesterday.

After all, this is a major client worth 60 million, and as a detective, he naturally has to help him solve his problems.

However, he wouldn't be like a fool and hand over the server data right now.

After all, the building had just exploded, and he might end up being the mastermind.

"So, what exactly happened?"

On the other side, Ai Haibara whispered to Conan, "I just saw a huge flash of light... and Kaito Kid."

"It's the organization..."

Conan whispered, "They probably wanted to destroy the server data that Hara Yoshiki left here, so they blew up this building... And Gin also showed up, planning to snipe someone, but he got hit over the head by Beika Batman, and then even the helicopter that was trying to escape crashed."

"Gin got hit over the head?"

Ai Haibara was also taken aback. "The evacuation helicopter crashed?"

"That's right!"

Conan nodded vigorously, excitedly saying, "If you ask me, all those people in that helicopter are definitely dead by now!"

"You're getting too excited..."

Ai Haibara glanced speechlessly at Conan, who was making a dramatic display of emotion.

She didn't quite understand what this kid was so excited about.

Am I excited?

Conan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

They seem quite excited...

However, this is something that cannot be controlled.

Today was full of unexpected events, but overall, things are moving in a positive direction.

The fact that Kaito Kid was able to team up with Batman to fight against Alcohol Company Black Organization means that those two people were on his side!

They now have two powerful allies.

But after this incident, he felt a bond with those two people that resembled that of good comrades.

With this thought in mind, Conan suddenly felt much more relaxed about dealing with the organization.

I feel like I can do it again!

Fujino: "..."

Why does this guy seem even more excited than the person involved?

Fujino, who was eavesdropping nearby, was speechless for a moment, not quite understanding what Conan was thinking.

Then, he looked in the direction where the helicopter had crashed not far away and murmured thoughtfully, "Is he really dead?"

If he is really dead, that would be the best-case scenario.

However, in Fujino's opinion, it was unlikely that the people at the Alcohol Company would die so easily.

He had also made a move against that old man Gin several times before.

Gin couldn't kill them no matter what he did: tried to seduce them on the rooftop or plant a bomb in their car.

This time, when he personally carried out the assassination, such an unexpected incident occurred.

"Once might be a coincidence, twice might be an accident, but the third time is just outrageous..."

Thinking it over, Fujino frowned, looked up at the deep space and asked, "Could it be Conan's doing something wrong?"

In the dead of night, the white moon hung high, thunder and lightning raged, and a strong wind swept across the sky.

"Magic crystal ball! Answer me, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?!"

"Of course it's you, Lady Akako! You are the most beautiful woman in the world!"

In a dimly lit secret room of a uniquely designed villa, a girl's childish words rang out, intermittently accompanied by sharp and classic witch laughter.

Clearly, the source of the voice was none other than the chuunibyou witch Koizumi Akako.

She was wearing a linen cloak, and a crystal ball shimmering with a faint light was placed in front of her.

It's obviously just a casual question.

"All the men in the world are your captives..."

The crystal ball's eerie light flickered with the voice, which was somewhat cute and seemed to have a Kansai accent. "But besides Kaito Kid... there might also be Fujino Doji who doesn't think much of you."

"What do you mean you look down on me!"

Koizumi Akako's expression stiffened upon hearing this. She reached out and pressed down on the crystal ball, unleashing a witch-dragon roar, "Explain yourself right now! What! Do! You! Look down on! Me!"

"Please calm down!"

The crystal ball exclaimed, "He's just not interested in you! But soon, very soon, one of them will succeed!"

"Huh? Really?!"

Koizumi Akako blushed upon hearing this, then clasped her hands to her chest and chuckled, "Is it going to be successful? I really am the most beautiful woman in the world... Well, who is it anyway? They're all about to be conquered by my beauty!"

"That's impossible!"

The crystal ball decisively interrupted her infatuation, "Even if you, Lady Hongzi, are a magician, you still can't conquer both of them!"

"..."

Koizumi Akako's eyebrows twitched, and she decisively pulled out a huge wooden mallet from under her burlap cloak, intending to smash the talking crystal ball to death.

"Wait... wait a minute!"

The crystal ball panicked for a moment. "I mean, Kuroba Kaito will soon disappear from your sight!"

"Ah?"

Koizumi Akako was taken aback by his words: "What do you mean?"

"As you can see!"

The crystal ball quickly flashed with light, and a picture appeared on its surface.

In the scene, Kaito Kid is handcuffed, while a black figure slowly emerges from the darkness.

Golden hair, intelligent eyes, and a brown trench coat.

At a glance, Koizumi Akako recognized the man's identity and frowned, saying, "This man... the transfer student who transferred here a while ago... Hakuba Saguru?"
