Noah: I'm Not Taking the Blame!

Ai Haibara looked at Conan, who looked utterly dejected and whose worldview had been shaken, and a strange sense of amusement inexplicably arose within her.

It's a bit unkind, but I really wanted to laugh.

Yes, I can't laugh, or the act will fall apart.

Ai Haibara forced a straight face, maintaining her usual aloof demeanor, but her little face couldn't help but pout slightly, with a hint of teasing.

Conan's worldview had already collapsed, and he didn't care about the fake loli's teasing next to him.

Meanwhile, Noah's Ark, who had disguised himself as Hideki Morohoshi when entering the game, looked completely bewildered.

He remembered that he had simply changed the detective's identity to Sherlock Holmes before entering the game...

When did you change the other person's personality as well?

Completely baffled, Noah's Ark retrieved Fujino's character data, and then became even more confused!

There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. In fact, even as the administrator with the highest privileges, he didn't have the authority to modify the other party's data.

This is unbelievable!

He was just shouting for me to come out and explain, and now he's turned into Sherlock Holmes...

This is acting; it doesn't look real!

Fujino silently observed the two bewildered boys with their different expressions and couldn't help but smile.

He originally intended to confuse Noah, but unexpectedly, he also caused considerable psychological harm to Conan's young mind...

This is a win-win situation.

"No way? Fujino- Senior, you really have amnesia?"

Sonoko frowned, still somewhat incredulous, so she leaned forward again, placed her hand on Sherlock's forehead, and continued, "I am Sonoko, that's Ran, and those other little devils, oh right, the most arrogant one is Conan."

Conan: "..."

You can get rid of that smelly fart.

"My name is Sherlock Holmes."

Fujino took two steps back, continuing to feign ignorance, "Although I don't know who Fujino is, you must have mistaken me for someone else, ma'am."

Sonoko: "..."

Damn it, I've been mistaken for a female hooligan again...

Do you know how much psychological damage these simple steps caused me?

She felt that if things continued like this, the other party would have to call the police.

So he reluctantly returned to Ran and whispered, "It seems that Fujino- Senior really has amnesia!"

"Well?!"

Ran was also taken aback when she heard this. "How could this be?"

"What should we do now...?"

Sonoko scratched her short hair, looking troubled, and sighed, "If that's the case, we're all doomed!"

"I think he didn't lose his memory; he was just replaced by another character."

As the only Ai Haibara person present, Ai Haibara didn't know exactly what Fujino wanted to do, but she could tell that he definitely had his own agenda, so she decided to play along and continue acting.

So she called everyone together and they started whispering among themselves.

Halfway there, he didn't forget to glance back at Fujino and wink—if it's acting, just wink, understand?

Fujino blinked slightly, smiled, indicating that he was still himself, and silently gave a thumbs up to the wingman.

He felt it was great to have someone helping him out. "Yeah, as expected of my Ai, she really understands me!"

Ai Haibara breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but then pouted and turned her head back with a hint of resentment.

Honestly, they didn't even tell me beforehand that they were going to be acting.

I worried for nothing.

After being misled by Ai, Sonoko glanced back at Fujino and whispered to the little ones who had gathered around her, "So, Fujino- Senior is too amazing, so Noah, that hacker, forcibly turned him into a game character?"

"Yes, it must be the work of cyber hackers."

Ai Haibara explained with a serious expression, "If Noah's Ark takes control of this game, then the Great Detective Fujino certainly won't stand idly by. But if we can't kill him, we can only replace him with an NPC."

"No wonder the Senior didn't recognize us at all..."

Ran suddenly realized. "So I was forcibly turned into a game character."

"That guy is really awful!"

Sonoko clenched her fist. "He actually turned Fujino- Senior into an NPC, making me a woman... Cough, once we find him, I'll definitely have Ran teach him a lesson with karate!"

"Uh-huh!"

Conan, having recovered from his grief, nodded in agreement, a hint of jealousy in his eyes as he looked at Sherlock.

Although I don't know who that hacker who calls himself Noah's Ark is, he is really despicable!

If I find him, I'll definitely kick him to death with my soccer cleats!

Why Fujino, the sixth brother, so strong that Noah turned him into Sherlock Holmes?

I'm clearly the Heisei Era's Sherlock Holmes!

Noah, standing to the side. "...?"

I did this, how come I didn't know?

I'm not taking the blame for this!

"Mr. Sherlock Holmes!"

After a few quiet discussions, Ayumi was the first to get into character. "Actually, we came here because we discovered the latest intelligence!"

"That's right, we just saw Jack the Ripper commit murder again!"

"Right in the Whitechapel District!"

The little ones quickly became the Baker Street Squad, huddled around Fujino, and started chattering away.

"It seems Jack has struck again; this is his third crime..."

Sherlock Teng pondered for a moment, then briefly shared the information he had just gathered.

No one present seemed particularly surprised, since it was perfectly normal for a game NPC to share information publicly.

After analyzing the situation, Fujino immediately identified Jack the Ripper and began his cosplay performance. "I'm sure that the deeper person hiding behind Jack the Ripper, who caused such panic in London, is Moriarty, the source of all evil!"

"Is Moriarty going to make an appearance too?"

Conan was taken aback upon hearing this and exclaimed in surprise.

As a Sherlock Holmes fan, he was very familiar with the title.

It was Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes's nemesis.

"Um?"

Sherlock glanced down at Conan: "You know him too?"

"Nothing!"

Conan quickly waved his hand. "I only heard about it by chance!"

"That's really not easy..."

Fujino that Conan really didn't know how to keep his mouth shut; he just said whatever came to mind without holding anything back.

It's not easy to have survived until now.

"Who exactly is that person?"

The chubby boy Akira Emori, looked at Fujino. Although he had just been reprimanded, he asked impatiently when he thought that Fujino had become an NPC.

"Seriously!"

Shinya Takizawa echoed, "You've all been talking to yourselves one by one since just now. When will this end?"

Noah's Ark, disguised as Hideki Morohoshi, thought for a moment about what to do in this situation, then pointed at Fujino and commanded, "Hey, I'm ordering you, grab that Jack the Ripper right now and let us out!"

"Um?"

Sherlock Teng's gaze flickered slightly as he glanced at the two of them with a cold look.

He tapped his cane on the wooden floor, making a 'thump-thump' sound, "If you want to ask someone for a favor, I suggest you be more polite. You're probably not one of those kids... Compared to them, I think you're more like the children of nobles. Didn't your parents teach you gentlemanly manners?"
