System Update 2.0

"What transvestite!"

Nakamori Ginzo looked at Nakamori Aoko speechlessly and shouted, "I've been chasing him for so many years, how could I not tell if he's male or female?"

"That's impossible!"

Nakamori Aoko gestured in front of herself. "That guy has such big breasts and a female voice. If he were a man, he would definitely be a transvestite!"

"Hmph, that's clearly a trick by Kaito Kid!"

Nakamori Ginzo paused for a moment, and did consider the option of a transvestite, but after recalling Kaito Kid's disguise skills, he immediately dismissed it, and continued, "If you ask me, this must be a scheme by him to make us think he is a transvestite!"

"What if Kaito Kid disguised himself as a woman..."

The officer who had spoken earlier pondered for a moment and then realized, "As expected of Inspector Nakamori, this must be a trick by Kaito Kid!"

"Hmph!"

Nakamori Ginzo looked confident. "How could Kaito Kid's little tricks possibly fool me!"

Hakuba Saguru: "..."

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

Fujino: "..."

"This father and daughter are both talented!"

Fujino almost lost his composure and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

One person's imagination led everyone around them astray, while another thought that Kaito Kid was a transvestite.

They really are a family!

Kaito Kid was not caught, but the jewel was retrieved. Although Nakamori Ginzo was a little angry, he still began to clean up the mess, planning to go home and continue to think of a countermeasure against the Kaito Kid.

Fujino, on the other hand, drove Conan home on the way.

Mori Detective Agency.

"Conan!"

Ran stood by the roadside and scolded Conan, who had just gotten out of the car, "How could you go to see Fujino- Senior alone at night? It was dangerous, you know!"

"Sister Ran!"

Conan stubbornly insisted, "I was really just passing by!"

"By the way, the Oshima Art Museum is in Ekoda..."

Fujino had just walked a short distance, turned around and suddenly said, "I remember that Professor Agasa's house should be in Beika Town. How can we just pass by here?"

Conan: "..."

Why haven't you left yet?

Damn, did you come back specifically to expose my past?

Ran snapped angrily, "Conan!"

"Sister Ran, I'm going upstairs now!"

Conan shivered and quickly ran back to the detective agency.

"This child! Always like this..."

Ran sighed, turned around, and bowed slightly to Fujino, saying, "Fujino- Senior, thank you so much for bringing him back so late."

"Nothing."

Fujino waved his hand. "But I think Little Brother Conan's problems are getting more and more serious. It seems he's already going through his rebellious phase."

"Rebellious phase?"

Ran was taken aback when she heard this.

"That's right!"

Fujino nodded, looking distressed, and said, "Kids his age care a lot about being noticed. He must have done these things to attract Ran's attention."

"..."

Ran frowned upon hearing this, seemingly lost in thought.

She really couldn't quite understand Conan's ideas.

If it's to gain attention... that's quite possible!

Thinking about this, Ran felt that this was very likely, so she asked in confusion, "I have indeed been distancing myself from him recently. If that's the case... then what should I do?"

"If the child misbehaves, just give him a beating. You probably didn't do what I said last time, right? Well, the side effects are already showing."

Fujino narrowed his eyes and whispered furtively, "Kids like this need a beating, just like I was beaten when I did something wrong as a child."

"But if I do this, I..."

Ran also stepped forward, saying in a low, aggrieved voice, "There are some things that can't be done."

"You're still too gentle."

Fujino sighed, "It's fortunate that I ran into him today. If he keeps running around and gets into some danger, that would be terrible, who knows..."

"Gurgle..."

Ran swallowed hard, clearly recalling what Fujino had said about "a perverted madman who endangers society."

Conan is currently staying at her house temporarily. If he really develops serious psychological problems, how will she explain it to the Edogawa couple?

She can't rely on her father anymore, so the responsibility of educating Conan now falls entirely on her shoulders.

She was silent for a moment, as if she had made a decision, and nodded with a much firmer look in her eyes. "I understand, thank you Fujino- Senior."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Fujino waved his hands repeatedly. "Isn't this all for Conan's good?"

At night, Fujino's bedroom.

"Now that we've calculated it, the system rewards should be issued by now."

Fujino stood by the balcony, constantly glancing at the system interface, waiting for the rewards to be distributed.

[Detection indicates that the host has completed the witch's request]

[System Rewards: 5.1 million yen and 700 Detective Reputation have been issued]

Current balance: 289.8 million yen

[Current Reputation: 2000-2000 (Can be upgraded by spending 20 million yen)]

"They're here!"

Fujino stared at the interface displaying the rewards, a smile playing on his lips.

Whether he thought about it or not, he elevated his career as a detective.

[Twenty million yen has already been spent on the host (two million two hundred thousand yen has been offset by a system discount)]

Current balance: 272 million yen

[Host's Detective Level Up; current level: Advanced]

[Host's detective level has reached advanced; the system's novice period has ended.]

[System upgrade to version 2.0 is about to begin. Please prepare.]

"Version 2.0?"

Fujino frowned upon hearing this, looking at the series of system notifications with some confusion. "Is the system about to upgrade? And what's with this 'newbie period'? What the heck is that?"

The system upgrade event has begun.

[Automatically detected that the current version is 1.0]

[Note: System functions, including System Task and upgrade-related features, will be disabled during the upgrade process.]

To ensure the host doesn't end up being taken advantage of instead of showing off, the system's profession and system inventory functions are automatically separated.

[System upgrade progress: 0.1%]

"That's quite humane..."

Fujino examined the interface in front of him, rubbing his chin.

Fortunately, when the system was upgraded, the professional functions and the warehouse were also removed from him. Otherwise, he would probably be completely useless right now.

Even without the system, his physique is extraordinary. When he encounters an angry Mikado, he can use the items in his Pocket Dimension to escape unscathed.

However, without system enhancements, those Super Saiyan still can't beat them.

"However, System 2.0..."

Fujino closed the interface in front of him. "I'm quite looking forward to it. I wonder what new things I can unlock."

Just as he was looking forward to the system update, a loud shout suddenly came from in front of him.

He looked up at the Mori Detective Agency across the street.

"Sister Ran, wait a minute!"

"Conan, just bear with it, this is all for your own good!"

"You little brat, Fujino, you just wait, I'm not done with you yet!"

"How dare you threaten Fujino- Senior... Conan, you must be a good boy!"

"Ah!"

A pitiful scream came from the detective agency across the street.

The sound echoed through the surrounding streets.

The stray cat perched on the wall was also startled.

It meowed and fell off the wall.

"Conan, you must be a good boy."

Fujino turned around from the balcony and chuckled softly.

I lay down on the bed in the bedroom and fell asleep immediately.
