Koizumi Akako: So You Really Are a Magician!
"Still playing dumb?"
Koizumi Akako also felt somewhat mentally exhausted.
Kuroba Kaito was the same way; she was used to it.
Why are all these lousy men like this!
Once they take off their disguise, they pretend they don't know each other!
Taking a deep breath, she decided to be frank. "I tried to divine your future before, but I couldn't get any results. When I was dealing with the Spider, I accidentally got the result that you are the Child of Moonlight, as well as those two sentences just now."
"So you call me the Child of Moonlight?"
Fujino recalled how Koizumi Akako had addressed him before.
"That's right, the Child of Moonlight."
Koizumi Akako nodded. "I'm curious, is the inheritance you received something like moonlight?"
"Well..."
Fujino curled his lip. "You're talking about inheritance, magic divination and stuff, that's a bit too far-fetched. I'm just an ordinary person, maybe a little handsome and a little smart, that's all. Besides, how could magic possibly exist in this world? Are you kidding me?"
Koizumi Akako: "..."
Her face darkened slightly.
He placed his hands on the table.
A faint red light appeared in his hand.
Wow!
Fujino poked it curiously. "What kind of magic trick is that?"
Koizumi Akako: "..."
His face got even darker.
They actually called it magic? Are they kidding me?
Didn't you know that what she hates most is that kind of magic trick that fools people?
Is this guy toying with her, the witch?
"Ahem."
Fujino coughed lightly. "I'm not joking anymore."
Koizumi Akako's face had turned as black as Osaka Black Chicken.
It looks like they're about to kill someone at any moment...
However, now that we've figured out exactly how much intelligence the other side possesses...
Fujino decided not to pretend to be confused any longer.
He casually took out a coin from his Pocket Dimension: "This must be the inheritance you were talking about, right?"
"You really are a magician!"
A glint of light flashed in Koizumi Akako's eyes, and she stood up, seemingly very excited.
Everyone around her was drawn to her shout.
The Shimo-Kasa Sisters and Akemi Miyano also looked over, blinking their beautiful eyes curiously.
"Hey... don't be so loud."
Fujino's lips twitched slightly, and he whispered a reminder: "So many people are watching, isn't this too conspicuous?"
"Ahem."
Koizumi Akako coughed lightly, looking embarrassed.
She also realized that she had lost her composure.
She sat down awkwardly, looked at the coins on the table, and asked in a low voice like a little girl, "Is your inheritance some kind of space magic?"
"Let's talk upstairs."
Fujino casually picked up the coins and stood up. "It's not very convenient here."
"Mmm-hmm-hmm."
Koizumi Akako nodded like a chick pecking at rice and followed.
"You mentioned the Child of Moonlight, but I don't really know what that means. And as for magic and stuff, I don't really have any, let alone any inheritance."
Fujino went upstairs, opened the door of the detective agency, and asked Koizumi Akako without turning his head, "But I'm curious about what you mean by inheritance, the idea that everything is false and all things are permitted, and things like divination."
He was rather curious about what the witch had divined.
If you can't get a reading, it might be because he's not from this world.
However, she can even divine some things about people who are not from this world.
That's a bit suspicious.
"You don't know anything about inheritance... that's understandable..."
Koizumi Akako tugged at her chin and followed them into the detective agency, explaining, "The statement 'All is vanity, all is permitted' was a result I predicted beforehand, probably an evaluation or something. As for 'Child of Moonlight,' it's probably the name you inherited, and divination is my ability as Red Magic."
"I see. That's why you know why I know Kuroba Kaito's identity and then ambushed me on the way."
Fujino murmured to himself, sat down on the sofa, and looked at Koizumi Akako, who had just taken her seat opposite him. "So, does magic really exist?"
"Magic must exist in this world."
Koizumi Akako sat on the sofa, raised her head and puffed out her chest. "As you can see, aren't I a magician? So are you."
"Actually, I was referring to other types of magic. Since there's a magician like you, there must be many other magicians in this world..."
Fujino did not refute Koizumi Akako's statement. Compared to transmigrators with systems, male magicians are fine, after all, there is a female magician in front of us, isn't there?
However, this is also what he is most worried about... If there is one witch, Koizumi Akako, then there must be countless witches.
If that's the case, then this world would be terrifying!
"I'm not too sure about that either."
Koizumi Akako shook her head. "Even if there were, there should be very few."
"You don't know either?"
Fujino frowned slightly, somewhat surprised by this. He casually took out the Endless Teapot from his Pocket Dimension, poured tea into a teacup, and asked in surprise, "Don't you people of the same kind communicate with each other?"
"Long ago, there were many cleansing campaigns against magicians and similar beings in this world, and many traditions were lost in the process."
Koizumi Akako was not surprised. She took the teacup and explained in a deep voice, "We witches were once on the verge of extinction. In addition, the inheritance itself is very demanding, so there are very few magicians left. Other inheritances are similar. It is even possible that I am the only inheritor of Red Magic left in this world..."
At this point, Koizumi Akako gripped her teacup, her eyes momentarily dimming. "After all, apart from you, I haven't encountered any others like myself since becoming the inheritor of Red Magic."
Is that so?
Fujino lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then felt that Koizumi Akako was probably not lying.
The persecution of people with special abilities has existed since ancient times, after all, those in power would never want anyone who threatens them.
Koizumi Akako is in Japan, but she belongs to the same lineage of witches who were persecuted in Europe back then. It seems that her ancestors fled to Japan. Moreover, as a witch, it would certainly be easier for her to find her own kind, but she hasn't found any yet...
There are two possibilities.
One possibility is that all the people with special abilities have disappeared.
After all, if he remembered correctly, witches cannot shed tears, otherwise they will lose their magic. Moreover, there are certain requirements for the personality of the successor. The same should apply to most other witches. After being persecuted until now, only Koizumi Akako remains.
The second is the Dark Forest Theory.
This world is like a dark forest, and everyone is like a hunter with a gun. Once another inheritance is discovered, the other side will definitely try to take it for themselves. No one wants their inheritance to be stolen. Rather than sticking together for warmth, it is safer to never interact with each other.
Fujino wasn't quite sure which of the two possibilities represented the current situation.
However, according to his memory, taking Aoyama Gosho's words as an example. "Please pretend that Conan's world does not exist," although it is pretended, it still exists.
In the Conan World, it seems that only Koizumi Akako truly possesses magic.
