The Atmosphere Gradually Grew Tense
Fujino looked at the man in front of him, his eyes behind his glasses narrowed slightly, and after carefully observing him for a couple of moments, he was able to make a judgment.
This person is Kyogoku Makoto, a top-tier fighter in the Conan World.
To be honest, this is the first time I've ever met this formidable person.
I almost didn't recognize him...
Kyogoku Makoto is a special existence in the Conan World.
Besides Koizumi Akako, who's practically an overpowered character, there's also Lupin the Third and his group, who are suspected to exist in this world. Among the known characters, this guy is at the very top of the pyramid.
Whether it's physical skills, strength, reaction speed, or perception, they are all at a high level.
You could say he's a well-rounded individual.
Fujino was observing Kyogoku Makoto.
Meanwhile, Kyogoku Makoto was also observing Fujino.
Their eyes met, and two powerful auras erupted from their bodies.
As the tension between the two intensified, the atmosphere around them gradually became tense.
Can you hear me?
Sonoko suddenly stretched out her hand and waved it in front of the stunned Kyogoku Makoto: "We're here to stay. Do you have any rooms available?"
"Hmm... ah?"
Kyogoku Makoto regained his composure, took a deep breath, and said, "Our inn still has rooms available. If you wish to check in, please go to the front desk."
"What a strange person..."
Sonoko muttered something under her breath, then led the group to the front desk to check in at the hotel.
The group booked two rooms. Sonoko Ran Ai, and Ai stayed in one room, while Fujino shared a room with Conan.
As Sonoko said, small hotels do have their advantages.
A standard room at the Queen Hotel costs over 10,000 yen per night.
The most expensive room here costs only five or six thousand yen a night.
To be honest, this price is very reasonable for a seaside hotel.
It's even a bit cheap...
Inside the hotel room.
As Fujino packed his belongings, he recalled the scene when he and Kyogoku Makoto had locked eyes earlier.
He had heard Okita Soji mention before that there were things like sword energy or killing intent in this world.
He didn't take it to heart at the time, but now it seems that his situation with Kyogoku Makoto was almost a battle of ki.
However, rather than feeling it was aura, Fujino felt it was more like a sense of oppressive power.
Unfortunately, his confrontation with Kyogoku Makoto was interrupted by Sonoko halfway through...
"We must find an opportunity to have a match!"
Fujino lowered his eyes, clenched his fist, feeling unusually excited, and made a decision in his heart.
After all, Kyogoku Makoto was the unit of measurement he always used.
Fighting him would be the only way to verify his current skill level.
His current power boost is already close to 1000%, and with an additional Enhancement Card, it could even reach 1400.
Besides strength, other abilities such as perception, reaction speed, and speed are also greatly enhanced.
If reaction and perception are boosted by the 400% attribute bonus from the Enhancement Card, they would probably have already exceeded 1500.
Moreover, his physical body has been significantly strengthened through training.
Even if Okita Soji, who is now at the A+ level, were to come back easily, he still wouldn't be able to defeat him.
But Fujino still had no idea.
After all, the other party is a Special AS-level character, whose official setting in the Conan World surpasses A+.
God knows just how strong it is...
He can smash marble pillars with his bare hands, crush steel guns, and shatter Super Electromagnetic Soccer with a single punch. His defensive capabilities are undoubtedly maxed out.
Otherwise, with those outrageous techniques, a bone fracture could be caused in no time.
"Let's put it aside for now..."
Fujino took the clothes out of his luggage, put them on the ground next to him, zipped them up, stood up, stretched, and didn't rush to start a fight.
In his view, a gentleman doesn't fight unprepared, and Batman wouldn't actively participate in skirmishes.
He can first spend money to upgrade his skills, and then challenge Kyogoku Makoto to a duel.
That way, the winning rate would be much higher.
Moreover, challenging someone to a fight was only his second priority.
The primary target was a deranged serial killer active in the area.
Upon seeing Kyogoku Makoto, he immediately connected Izu and Sonoko to the possible case that might occur.
If things unfold as he remembered them, then around tomorrow, Sonoko will be targeted and relentlessly hunted down by a deranged serial killer...
That psychopathic killer was a mentally ill person who specifically targeted girls with dyed hair.
Because his girlfriend dumped him, he developed a deep-seated hatred for all girls who had dyed hair and wore cute clothes...
Typically, this pervert will disguise himself as a handsome, outgoing scumbag. After targeting girls, he will lure them into a corner under the pretense of a date, then pull out a dagger and shred their internal organs.
The method was extremely cruel.
The reason Sonoko was targeted by this guy was not only because she perfectly matched the characteristics of a victim, but also because she happened to be passing by the crime scene with her camera when he committed the murder.
The murderer, mistakenly believing he had been filmed, began to target Sonoko.
As for the murderer's characteristics, Fujino still had some recollection of them.
His name was something like... Michihiko Douwaki, and he was a blond guy.
After putting their luggage away at the hotel, the group set off to stroll around the nearby streets.
"Speaking of which, that dark-skinned guy in that shop was really strange."
Sonoko, walking at the front, couldn't help but complain, "He was acting weird when we first met, and when we left the hotel, he kept staring at us..."
"No, I don't think so..."
Ran walked beside him and said, "Sonoko, you're probably just stressed. I don't think there's anything strange about him. He even looks kind of familiar."
"Hey, how could I be wrong?"
Sonoko sighed for a moment, then turned to Fujino and asked seriously, "Fujino- Senior, tell me, isn't that dark-skinned guy weird?"
"There shouldn't be anything strange about it, right?"
Fujino crossed his arms and said calmly, "But speaking of familiar faces, I actually know that person."
"Huh?"
Ran was surprised. "Fujino- Senior, where have you seen him before?"
"Of course, it's in the newspapers."
Fujino explained, "That guy's name is Kyogoku Makoto. He's the All-Japan Karate Champion. I've seen him before."
"Kyogoku Makoto?!"
Ran exclaimed in surprise, "Is that Makoto Kyogoku Makoto from Beika High School?!"
"You know Ran too?"
Sonoko looked left at Fujino and right at Ran.
Suddenly I felt like I had fallen behind.
"The All-Japan Karate Champion, and he also maintains a 400-fight undefeated streak..."
At this moment, Ai Haibara suddenly spoke up, "If I remember correctly, it should be him."
"That's right, that's right!"
Ran nodded excitedly. "He is Kyogoku Makoto, the captain of Beika High School who is known as the 'Kicking Prince.' I've seen him before at the tournament venue, there's no mistake!"
