From Nakajima Hideaki's explanation, Fujino finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that Mantedo is planning to release a new detective game...

I plan to invite him to be a producer.

However, after thinking it over, Fujino flatly refused the offer.

There's no other reason than that this matter is related to the Alcohol Company.

If Fujino remembers correctly, this man named Nakajima was supposed to make a deal with Tequila on the day of the Mantedo Games launch event.

But because Tequila took the wrong box... he was blown up.

He has now attracted the attention of the Alcohol Company; if he were to go to Mantedo to participate in game production...

If the Tequila were to suddenly explode, the Alcohol Company would directly blame him.

That would be troublesome.

A few days later.

Although the threat from the Alcohol Company remains.

But just as Fujino guessed, perhaps out of fear of something, they did not make a move.

So these past few days, he has been enjoying his long-awaited daily routine.

Of course, no System Task were triggered either.

Since no System Task were triggered, he could only try to improve his existing professional skills.

I practice my skills at school every day, and after school I go to the Konoha Kendo Hall to learn swordsmanship and improve my physical fitness.

At night, he would put on Assassin's Robe and Batman Mask, and stroll around Beika Town, performing acts of heroism.

The skill points for Fighting Expert are quite easy to farm in the crime-ridden city of Beika Town.

Every night when he goes out, he can get at least twenty skill points.

Today, he has upgraded his Fighting Expert skill to Intermediate level, and upon reaching Intermediate, he also gained a new skill: [Combat Insight].

Fighter: Intermediate (10-300)

Professional skills:

Basic Fighting Knowledge (basic fighting skills)

Fighting Expert (Intermediate: Increases host's strength by 40%)

Fighting Sense (Basic: Increases the host's perception ability by 20%)

Combat Insight (During combat, the host gains a 10% chance to predict the opponent's movements)

Fujino experienced the ability to anticipate movements once, on the night immediately after the upgrade.

It is a bizarre skill that allows one to predict the actions of others.

Unfortunately, it cannot be upgraded; there's only a 10% chance.

Besides leveling up his fighter skill, Fujino also improved his chef skill while cooking these past few days, reaching the intermediate level.

Chef: Intermediate (Upgrade requires 20-300)

Special Grade Chef (Intermediate: Any food prepared by the host has a 10% chance of receiving a random enhancement)

Fujino family, bedroom.

The crime rate in Beika Town has dropped dramatically! The reason behind it all is...

Who exactly is Beika Batman? He suddenly appears on a dark and stormy night, launching a devastating attack on the criminals of Beika Town!

Is it legal for Beika Batman to use vigilante justice when the police are unable to reduce the crime rate?

[The abbot of Shan Ni Temple, Ten'ei, who was captured by Beika Batman some time ago, suffers from severe schizophrenia and was admitted to Aoyama Psychiatric Hospital a few days ago to receive the latest treatment from Dr. Fukuyama.]

Fujino sat on the sofa, looking at today's newspaper, his expression becoming strange.

The abbot of Shan Ni Temple, Tianyong, who suffers from schizophrenia, has also been admitted to Aoyama Psychiatric Hospital.

He thought to himself that he hadn't done anything wrong...

All we did was put a burlap sack over that guy's head and beat him with Wooden Sword all night long.

He also used Bat Dart to hit the guy a few times.

How did it become schizophrenia?

And then there Numabuchi Kiichiro.

He didn't do anything wrong; he just subjected her to both mental and physical torture.

I heard that he was later diagnosed with mental illness.

Fujino shook his head and couldn't help but sigh, "People these days have such poor mental resilience."

After reflecting on his feelings, Fujino took out his phone again and glanced at the time of day.

It's Monday.

Hmm, yesterday was clearly Wednesday.

Very Ke Xue.

Having gotten used to Conan's study time, Fujino washed up, put on his school uniform, and went to the underground parking garage.

"It's not easy."

Looking at the brand-new motorcycle in the parking space, Fujino couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

This motorcycle was severely damaged in an assassination attempt just a few days after I bought it.

Fortunately, he had purchased insurance when he bought the motorcycle.

So, just yesterday, this brand-new motorcycle was delivered to his home.

Now, he can ride his motorcycle out and have fun again.

After expressing his feelings, Fujino got on his motorcycle and headed to Teitan High School.

Good morning, Senior!

Good morning, Senior!

As soon as I arrived at school, Sonoko and Mori Ran, the two little girls, came over to greet me familiarly.

In Class 2-B, Fujino was probably most familiar with those two people.

In a way, are we friends?

At lunchtime, Fujino Ran Sonoko gathered together.

Sonoko said mysteriously to Fujino and Ran, "Hey, Ran, Fujino- Senior, have you heard about that ghost story lately?"

"Ghost stories? What ghost stories?"

Ran tilted her head, her hair fluttering, clearly puzzled by what Sonoko had said.

"It's the Beika Batman that's been all the rage lately."

Ran seemed a little confused. "Beika Batman?"

"Don't you know?"

Sonoko looked at Ran's puzzled expression and asked in surprise.

He then explained, "The Beika Batman is a strange man who recently appeared in Beika Town, wearing a white robe and a bat mask."

"A weirdo wearing Batman Mask?"

Ran asked in confusion.

After thinking for a moment, she recalled Takahashi, the Bandage Man from Bandage Manor.

A look of lingering fear crossed his face.

Then, she asked Sonoko in a low voice, "Is he the same strange guy with bandages as that one at Sonoko's villa before?"

No, that's not it.

Sonoko shook her head and explained with a light laugh, "Unlike Takahashi, who wants to kill, Beika Batman is a good person who punishes evil and promotes good."

Ran asked in confusion, "Punishing evil and promoting good?"

"That's right."

Sonoko nodded upon hearing this, stood up, and put on a mysterious air as she said, "Every dark and windy night, Beika Batman will start wandering around Beika Town. Once he discovers that someone dares to rob or follow a girl, he will suddenly appear from the shadows and suppress the other party with powerful force. Usually, he will beat the other party so badly that they will be hospitalized."

"Although there was some violence, the crime rate in Beika Town has decreased a lot recently because of the legend of Beika Batman."

"While it's true that beating people up indiscriminately is wrong, the person who impersonated Batman was actually a good person."

Ran nodded in agreement.

Fujino: "..."

Fujino, sitting to the side, couldn't help but have a strange expression as he listened to their conversation.

"Beika Batman" is a pseudonym he uses.

Ran said that Beika Batman is a good person.

That means...

Did he get friend-zoned?

Sorry, I stayed up all night revising the text yesterday and overslept, so the update is late today.
