People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 1018 Magic Crystal Ball

When Hikaru Mugen met Akako Koizumi, it was like a fake encountering the real deal.

His title of "magician" was just a nickname given to him by others who saw him blowing in the wind when he had nothing to do, while Koizumi Akako's title of "magician" was that of a genuine magician, and was by no means ordinary.

—Originally, Xiang Yuanguang wanted to ask him if he could learn it.

Then, Koizumi Akako said with righteous indignation,
"Don't you know magic? Why are you trying to learn mine?"

"Furthermore, my magical heritage has been passed down only to women since the Middle Ages. I am the Scarlet Witch, do you want to be the Wind Witch?"

Xiang Yuanguang:?

The Middle Ages? Now that you mention it, I know why you, a magician with a Western art style, are in Japan.

The reason is simple: they were driven out of the West by witch hunts.

As for the Wind Witch, forget it. With his height and shoulder width, he has absolutely nothing to do with witches.

"If there's a court hearing, I don't care..."

"But don't you have classes? My court hearings are all at 8:30 in the morning. At that time, you should already be at school, getting ready for your first morning class, right?"

That being said.

However, in the world of Detective Conan, high school, middle school, and elementary school are all about doing whatever you want during class.

Just like Conan and Ran Mouri, who are supposed to attend classes, they always run around everywhere and never go to school. So, it seems like it's not a big deal for someone like Akako Koizumi to run away temporarily once.

"In short, remember to let me know when the time comes."

"Or you could leave your magatama with me to take a look, but your magatama... doesn't seem to have anything special about it... a medium? I've never heard of that."

"Alright, alright, I need to go back and check my magic encyclopedia."

Koizumi Akako packed her things.

Suddenly, he pulled a crystal ball out of his schoolbag.

"This is for you, consider it a small gift."

"If you're going to find Phantom Thief Kid next, then tell him for me that his next operation might encounter an unexpected crisis, if he's scared."

"If he gets scared, let him come and beg me. Maybe I, the Red Witch, will take pity on him..."

What Koizumi Akako said next?

Xiang Yuanguang didn't hear clearly.

Because he had already left with the crystal ball, only the faint, abstract laughter of Koizumi Akako, lost in her own fantasies, could be heard—

How should I put it? It doesn't sound like the laughter of a pretty young girl; it sounds more like the laughter of a classic villain.

"A crystal ball? What's the use of that?"

'Xiang Yuan,' floating behind Xiang Yuanguang, focused his gaze on the crystal ball.
He wasn't quite sure what the thing was for.

Perhaps Koizumi Akako simply gave it to Mukamoto Hikaru as a decoration.

In response, Xiang Yuanguang simply stated,
"If you like it, then you can take it."

Even if you say that, I have no way to bring things from the present world back with me.

Xiang Yuan shook his head.

Just like when Xiang Yuanguang found his important item and was taken into the world of the dead, another Beika Town, Xiang Yuanguang only entered with his consciousness and did not bring any things from the present world with him.

Now that he is appearing alone, it is even less likely that he can do such a thing.

However, just as 'Xiang Yuan' said this, he himself reached out and grabbed the crystal ball as if joking, and something unexpected happened at that moment.

Despite being a soul entity, 'Xiangyuan' was able to grasp the crystal ball.

It could even lift the crystal ball. If others saw this, they would probably be stunned, because from their perspective, it looked like the crystal ball had appeared out of thin air in front of Xiang Yuanguang.

No magic can compare to a truly levitating crystal ball.

Xiang Yuan held the crystal ball, looked at it for a while, and then fell silent.

—So there really are magicians in this world.

He thought Koizumi Akako was just a chuunibyou high school student whose brainwaves clashed with Mukahara Hikaru's, but he never expected that even the props she gave away would have such a magical effect.

This is the first time 'Xiangyuan' has truly come into contact with the real world since his accidental death.

"In that case, I'll try to see if I can bring it to the other world."

He said so.

However, just as 'Xiangyuan' was about to move to another Beika Town, which was equivalent to the other world, with the crystal ball given to him by Koizumi Akako, a sound came from the crystal ball.

"Wait, wait a minute! I don't want to go to the underworld yet!"

Xiang Yuanguang and the other two: ?

Is the crystal ball talking?

Xiang Yuan raised the crystal ball in his hand, his gaze lingering for a moment.

He had traveled all over the country to investigate the trafficking routes of addictive drugs such as heroin, and had heard all sorts of rumors about magic, but this was the first time he had actually seen it.

Is there really a talking crystal ball in this world?

Sensing that both Xiang Yuanguangs, who looked formidable, were staring at him, the crystal ball turned purple.

After a while, the crystal ball revealed the truth.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

It turns out that Koizumi Akako was very curious about what the underworld was like.

So they sent the crystal ball over, hoping that 'Xiang Yuan' could take it with her to the underworld, so that she could use this magic crystal ball to remotely see what was happening inside.

—But upon hearing this, 'Xiang Yuan' suddenly froze.

Speaking of which, there's also a Phantom Thief Kid in the underworld.

So, could there also be a Crimson Witch, Koizumi Akako, in the Otherworld? If so, could we use Koizumi Akako from the Otherworld to send things here?

This idea instantly inspired 'Xiangyuan'.

After a brief greeting to Xiang Yuanguang, 'Xiang Yuan' disappeared from Xiang Yuanguang's side.

Although it is unknown whether the original owner truly disappeared or faked it.

However, judging from the fact that the magatama on Xiang Yuanguang's body is no longer warm, it is highly likely that he has indeed sneaked in.

Finally, he should go find Kaito Kuroba.

If things go as expected, Hakuba Saguru should have already gone offline to open the box and kill it single-handedly.

If he goes there now, he can probably still see the sacred and solemn ancient battlefield of Kuroba. Perhaps Kuroba Kaito is still at home arguing with Hakuba Saguru, proving that he is definitely not Kaito Kid.

After all, Kaito Kuroba is a real stubborn guy.

No matter what others say, he won't believe it. He absolutely won't stop unless he tries it himself. In terms of stubbornness, he's even more stubborn than his cousin Conan.

Xiang Yuanguang moved quickly toward the Kuroba family's house.

As expected, the Kuroba family's residence had indeed been transformed into a sacred and solemn ancient battlefield.

Kaito Kuroba and Saguru Hakuba are still arguing at home.
