System Certification: Worth One Hundred Thousand
"Then let's make it five hundred thousand."
After a moment's thought, Fujino gave his final offer.
"This is... huh?"
Koizumi Akako exclaimed in surprise.
Going against the ancestors' decision? After thinking about it for so long, it's increased fivefold?
Even five times that would only amount to 500,000?
"Still not satisfied?"
Fujino scratched his chin in distress. "Then 750,000 it will be."
Do you look down on me?
Koizumi Akako frowned and looked at Fujino with a resentful expression.
"That one million?"
"..."
Koizumi Akako clenched her fist.
The urge to kill someone is impossible to hide in one's eyes.
"This won't work, that won't work, how do we know how much you actually want to give..."
Fujino couldn't figure out what the witch was thinking either, and sighed, "Five million, that's my bottom line."
"Ten million!"
"Make a deal."
Fujino immediately agreed without the slightest hesitation.
"Snort!"
Koizumi Akako chuckled softly, "That's more like it."
How could Lady Koizumi Akako only be worth five million?
It's at least ten million!
To be precise, it should be priceless...
"Oh, and remember to give the rice and soybean oil to that kid Kuroba!"
Fujino ran quickly out of the sports storage room, adding as he left, "Don't embezzle it!"
"Who would embezzle it?"
Koizumi Akako's lips twitched involuntarily.
She!
The only magician!
The inheritor of the Red Magic!
Would he embezzle a bag of rice?
After the detective, feeling guilty, ran far away...
"Huh?"
Miss Witch paused for a moment, sensing that something was amiss.
But I can't quite put my finger on it...
There was a moment of silence.
The witch finally came to her senses.
Watching the retreating figure, his chest heaved with anger. "That guy... was he just playing a trick on me?!"
"Call..."
Fujino took a deep breath, glanced back at the sports warehouse, and said with a strange expression, "She actually complained that the commission was too high and asked for more money. This chuunibyou witch is really strange."
Having been a detective for so long, he had never seen anyone who would sullenly ask for more money just to increase their own value.
I learned something new today.
"However, Miss Witch's request is quite substantial."
Fujino twitched his chin, glancing at the System Task that had popped up when he accepted the commission:
Detective Profession Mission: The Witch's Request
Mission objective: Protect Kaito Kid and prevent Kaito Kid from being arrested by Hakuba Saguru.
Special Mission: Protect the client, the witch, from the Spider's clutches.
Mission Reward: 5 million yen, 300 Detective Reputation
Special Reward: 100,000 Yen & 400 Detective Reputation
Current balance: 286,500,000
Current Detective Reputation: 1300 points - 700 points remaining to level up.
"Spider?"
Fujino glanced at the special missions that had appeared and decided to save them up.
This Spider must be the illusionist he beat up with Wooden Sword before.
"I never expected him to get involved this time..."
Fujino pondered for a moment, "It seems this guy is planning to make a move against the chuunibyou witch?"
He didn't quite understand why this guy was attacking the witch.
However, it seems that illusions can also work on witches?
It seems like witches aren't that strong after all...
Moreover, judging from the reward, it's only 100,000, so it seems that Miss Witch is indeed only worth 100,000.
The system has verified that it belongs to the category of "yes".
However, considering the 400 points of Detective Reputation and the 10 million commission,
This time, the protection target is increased by 1.
"A total of seven hundred Detective Reputation..."
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Fujino glanced at the mission interface again. "This time my detective level will increase... and I even managed to trick that chuunibyou witch..."
"Yes, I willingly received ten million."
Fujino changed his tune slightly, then chuckled and exclaimed, "We've made a killing this time!"
On the other side.
Kuroba Kaito is anxiously searching for his Big Cousin from the Wilderness at Ekoda High School.
He wandered around for a while but still couldn't find where his older cousin was.
"Hateful!"
Kuroba Kaito felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.
He was very confident in his disguise skills, although he had been exposed before.
However, thanks to his superb magic skills, those doubts were dispelled and were not fatal.
Even if the disguise falls off, it can be picked up immediately.
But Fujino is no human being!
His identity was discovered?
Kuroba Kaito seriously suspects that Fujino might directly contact a news agency to expose him and make a fortune.
"Calm down! Calm down! Poker face, poker face!"
Kuroba Kaito a deep breath, recalled his father's advice, calmed down, and began to analyze the impact of this matter on him.
However, it was just a suspicion.
Although it was in line with the other party's style, Kuroba Kaito did not believe that the other party would really expose him.
After all, he knew the other party's identity Beika Batman, so strictly speaking, the two sides were equals.
Plus, there's our friendship...
Kuroba Kaito immediately felt much more at ease.
"But speaking of which, how exactly did Fujino find out my true identity?"
Then, Kuroba Kaito began to ponder where he had slipped up, "Could it be what Fujino said a few days ago..."
Soon, he recalled Fujino's reminder from a few days ago.
It's said that Hakuba Saguru is about to get serious.
"Could it be Hakuba Saguru?"
Kuroba Kaito, trying hard to recall the previous two operations.
But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Just as Kuroba Kaito was pondering, a red-haired girl walked up to him from a short distance away. The girl's face was gloomy, as if she had just experienced something bad... She was carrying a pot of soybean oil and a bag of rice in her hands.
"What amazing arm strength, girl!"
Kuroba Kaito also expressed a similar sentiment to Fujino.
However, he quickly realized what was happening.
"Why does this rice and flour look so familiar?"
Kuroba Kaito narrowed his eyes and quickly took out his phone to look at the picture.
Exactly the same!
Kuroba Kaito glanced up at the rice, soybeans, and oil, then looked down at the picture. "???"
"Hello..."
Kuroba Kaito Koizumi Akako, "You didn't just run into someone who claimed to be my fellow townsman, my cousin from the wilderness, did you?"
Kuroba Kaito felt that Koizumi Akako probably didn't know Fujino very well.
In his memory, he had only encountered it once before, when he was skiing.
Therefore, it was not explicitly stated that it was Fujino.
"Is that guy your cousin?"
Koizumi Akako's face darkened, and she glanced at Kuroba Kaito with an annoyed expression.
"Um... actually, no."
Kuroba Kaito couldn't quite understand why Koizumi Akako was so gloomy, as if she was about to kill someone at any moment.
Without thinking too much about it, he quickly asked, "Anyway, where did he go now?"
He's already gone.
Koizumi Akako took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Kuroba Kaito is looking for Fujino, which means he probably already knows that Fujino is at school...
Was it because it was a reminder that you were notified in advance?
"They've left?"
Kuroba Kaito somewhat puzzled.
Since you're already here, why are you leaving so soon?
They've already come in, and they're pulling out without even meeting anyone?
Kuroba Kaito was a little disappointed.
We missed our first chance to be completely honest with each other.
