The Only "Kindred"
"So you are a witch, and you inherit the Red Magic."
Fujino processed the information for a moment, then looked up at Koizumi Akako: "And there may be no other people in this world who possess 'magic' or any other kind of inheritance, and I may be your only 'kind'?"
"Yes, that's about it."
Koizumi Akako nodded, her sense of dejection disappearing, replaced by a faint smile, "Actually, I was quite surprised when I first discovered you, and even doubted whether I had made a mistake. I only confirmed your identity a while ago when you were dealing with that 'Spider'."
"So it was that kid Kuroba Kaito!"
Fujino clicked his tongue upon hearing this. "I knew my identity wouldn't be exposed... Looks like I'll have to have a serious talk with him next time I run into him..."
Is this guy really one of my kind?
Koizumi Akako's eyebrow twitched slightly involuntarily.
Shouldn't we be focusing more on issues concerning our 'kind' now?
How come this guy immediately figured out how his identity was exposed and wanted to retaliate?
After a moment of silence, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Um, Child of Moonlight, could you tell me about your abilities?"
Fujino looked up upon hearing this, and was slightly taken aback.
Speaking of inheritance...
His abilities all come from the system's gadgets.
It can't be said to be a systemic inheritance, can it?
"I just wanted to ask, it's okay if you don't tell me."
Seeing that Fujino's expression was a bit strange, Koizumi Akako quickly waved her hand.
She knew, of course, that it wasn't a good idea to ask others for advice without proper guidance.
Fearing misunderstanding, she quickly explained, "I think your ability is spatial magic, but magic can generally only be inherited by witches, so I suspect your ability might be the inheritance of memories and bloodline."
"I looked up some records about 'Child of Moonlight' and 'spatial abilities' a couple of days ago, but none of them matched."
At this point, Koizumi Akako looked serious. "I think if you really inherited the legacy, you should at least know what the name of your ability is."
'So it was just mutual appreciation between people of the same kind?'
Fujino murmured to himself as he observed the somewhat anxious witch.
As the sole heir to the Red Magic Society, Koizumi Akako places great importance on the concept of inheritance.
The witch empathized and naturally wanted to figure out what the inheritance of her only kind was.
However, this presented Fujino with a dilemma.
After all, he couldn't say that he was powered by the Dog System.
It's about time travelers inheriting their skills and power.
"My ability is the inheritance of memories."
Fujino thought for a moment, then decided to tell the other party what he had revealed so far, half-truthfully. "The additional abilities include reducing my presence, creating a clone, having a pile of straw appear when I fall from a height, and a personal storage space. That's about it."
"The transmission of memories... it feels kind of familiar..."
Koizumi Akako murmured to herself, then asked in surprise, "You wouldn't happen to be that inheritor, would you?"
"Ah?"
Fujino was taken aback by what he heard and looked at Koizumi Akako with surprise.
No, I just made that up on the spot.
You actually know that?
"If your description is correct, then you may have received the legacy of an assassin."
Koizumi Akako recalled for a moment, then answered seriously, "This is also a long-ago inheritance that I saw in the records of past witches. This inheritance is passed down through bloodlines and memories are awakened. It also mentions an Assassin Organization to which this inheritance belongs."
"Ha?"
Fujino's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "You're not talking about the Brotherhood, are you?"
"Actually, I'm not too sure about that either,"
Koizumi Akako rubbed her chin. "After all, there are too many records left by witches throughout the ages, and our Red Magic Society hasn't had any more records about that organization since we came to Japan a long time ago to escape the witch hunt."
"But don't worry, Child of Moonlight."
Koizumi Akako stood up from the sofa, patted her chest, and assured everyone, "I will definitely find out what kind of inheritance this is!"
Fujino sighed, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Actually, he wanted to refuse, after all, it was his legacy...
It's pointless to investigate.
However, seeing the witch's confident demeanor, he felt embarrassed to refuse.
So he simply agreed.
Moreover, he was quite interested in the existence of that Assassin Organization.
"Then farewell, Child of Moonlight!"
"I will let you know if I find any relevant records!"
Koizumi Akako Fujino from downstairs at the detective agency.
"Could you please use a different form of address?"
Fujino watched the witch's departing figure and muttered a speechless comment.
However, the title "Child of Moonlight" sounds somewhat familiar upon closer inspection.
Why does it feel a bit like the "Natural Child" by a certain Senior in the Ike family?
However, this "Child of Moonlight" cannot speak animal language.
His abilities were all acquired through tireless Deep Blue lottery draws.
Well, after all, the lottery draw is also the result of his hard work.
"But this world..."
Fujino looked up at the azure sky and said, "It really is the Conan World."
Through his conversation with Koizumi Akako, he gained a deeper understanding of this Conan World.
Although there may have been people with special abilities in this world in the past.
But now only Koizumi Akako remains as the Scarlet Witch.
It may have been caused by a large-scale 'destruction of the Dharma' campaign.
It could also be because the transmission of knowledge is inherently difficult.
Using a concept from online novels from my previous life, this should be the so-called Dharma-ending Age.
This made Fujino breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, the Conan World is just too much of a 'Detective Conan' world.
Time is as unpredictable as that of the Super Gluten Man, his combat power has always been a mystery, and his technology is exceptionally advanced.
In such a world, what if some super-cyborg or a Holy Sword Knight suddenly appeared...?
Although he wasn't surprised, he still felt a bit of a headache.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
After two days of school, Fujino went out of his way to handle two detective cases, jumping from Monday to Friday.
This is a timeline that jumps around in a crazy, bizarre way every day.
Fujino was already used to it.
Fortunately, the continuity of time was still maintained; otherwise, Fujino probably would have ended up in a mental hospital sooner or later.
As for Koizumi Akako's side...
It seems the witch hasn't found anything useful these past two days.
There's no news yet.
Two days of school have passed, and the holiday is here again.
This was to repay Fujino for the time he broke into the department store and shared the money with the underlings.
The children invited Fujino to go on a beach vacation in Izu.
Of course, the money came from Professor Agasa.
These kids seem to have also grasped Mr. Teng's ways of dealing with people and situations.
The beach at Izu Beach.
The sun was shining brightly, the wind was gentle, and the young women on the beach were sweating profusely in their swimsuits.
"Professor Agasa, you've gone to a lot of trouble this time too."
Fujino sat on the shore, wearing shorts that revealed his well-defined upper body muscles, sunglasses, and holding a bottle of watermelon juice, quietly sunbathing.
Meanwhile, Ai Haibara sat on a beach blanket, wearing a light blue swimsuit dress she had bought when she went to the beach, with her arms crossed, looking at the sea view in the distance.
"It's nothing, the most important thing is that these kids are happy."
Professor Agasa, dressed in a beach shirt, sat on a bench nearby, smiled as he watched the children not far away, and then turned back to continue, "But Fujino- kun, I might have to go on a business trip for a while when I get back, so I'll have to trouble you with these kids."
