I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 37 What kind of tokusatsu do you like? Huh? Batman?
In the afternoon, at the entrance of Mihana Shrine.

Conan and the members of the Detective Boys sat here, watching the cars on the road with great boredom.

An ordinary black car drove by.

An ordinary white car drove by.

A tokusatsu-style motorcycle, driven by a tokusatsu hero, passed by.

Conan:?
Did something extraordinary just suddenly pass by?

Conan was startled and looked at the tokusatsu-style motorcycle.

Only in situations like this can the members of the Junior Detective League be one step ahead of Conan.

They raised their hands, jumped on the spot, and cheered the code name of that special hero.

This enthusiasm, comparable to that of the main character under the spotlight, even made the tokusatsu hero hesitate.

The tokusatsu-style motorcycle was parked in front of the Beika Shrine.

As soon as the tokusatsu hero got out of the car, the members of the Detective Boys surrounded him, chattering about irrelevant questions, while Conan slowly strolled over from behind.

Conan's gaze fell on the person's face, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He remembered this tokusatsu hero thanks to the Kamen Rider DVD that Uncle Mori had watched out of boredom the night before.

This tokusatsu hero is the Patlabor who appeared in Kamen Rider.

However, it is rather suspicious that someone dressed in a tokusatsu hero uniform would suddenly appear in a place where there are no filming crews. Even an enthusiast would not do such a thing.

Just like Chen En, who claims to be Batman, he only talks about it and doesn't actually wear the uniform and wander around.

This person seems suspicious.

"Wow, it's Patlabor! Are they filming Kamen Rider here today?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, a member of the Junior Detective League, asked excitedly.

Without even asking a question, Kojima Genta reached out and touched the CT officer's sidearm. However, the moment his hand touched the officer's weapon, the officer's expression changed drastically.
"Children, don't touch this! It's an important prop!"

Startled, Genta Kojima instinctively let go.

After the mobile police officer took the key from his motorcycle, he went directly into the Beika Shrine with the key, and it is unknown what he was going to do.

Watching the indifferent backs of the mobile police officers, Genta Kojima felt somewhat disappointed and said with a hint of dissatisfaction,
"What? How cold-hearted!"

"If they were real CT scanner officers, they definitely wouldn't talk like that!"

Conan, who had just been looking inside the Beika Shrine, turned to look at Genta Kojima after hearing this.

Well, to be honest, that statement is a bit...

It was clearly your touching of other people's things that led to you being scolded, wasn't it?
I didn't say much to Kojima Gen.

Conan then muttered to himself,

"Under what circumstances would someone suddenly impersonate a mobile police officer and come to a place like this?"

He touched his chin.

Then, Conan heard someone answer his question.

"It's either a comic convention or a gathering of cosplay enthusiasts."

The voice came from behind!

Conan:!
As if he had spotted a cucumber behind him, he jumped up and landed to the side, immediately activating his Spinosaurus form. He raised his watch, clearly intending to exhale and launch a zero-frame tranquilizer attack!

Ever since he was ambushed by a member of a criminal organization called Gin at Tropical Paradise.

He had a slight shock reaction to someone suddenly appearing behind him, especially when he was thinking! Because he was the one who was hit over the head by Gin while he was thinking about what was going on!

However, Conan stopped just as he placed his hand on the tranquilizer watch, before he even opened the scope.

The mysterious coffee man, whose daily updates are displayed in the background, took a sip of coffee.

Beside him, Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and his three best teammates from the Junior Detective League were looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Even without the ability to read minds, Conan could sense that many question marks seemed to appear above their heads.

"...Haha, I just think this move is really cool."

Conan gave up thinking. He lowered his voice and, displaying less than a tenth of the acting skills he inherited from his mother, Yukiko Kudo, chose to play dumb.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri and the others also laughed, as if they were amused.

Only Chen En didn't laugh.

The great Batman looked at Conan with the same eyes he would give an idiot from beginning to end.

As a result, Conan's eyes also became dangerous.

When you're playing dumb and there happen to be someone you know around, be like:

To avoid getting hit in the face by Conan's soccer ball later.

Chen En rationally looked away.

It's not that I won't laugh, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.

When Conan uses the tranquilizer dart and the soccer ball, that's when he'll start laughing.

Before long, everyone calmed down.

Kogoro Mouri took the lead in inviting the Junior Detective League members and Chen En to eat curry rice at a newly opened restaurant nearby.

The members of the Junior Detective League cheered and walked at the front.

Conan and Chen En walked at the very back.

The elementary school student, nicknamed "Death God," frowned and said in a low voice.
Do you think it's a cosplay enthusiast gathering or a comic convention?

"Why do you think that?"

Chen En paused for a moment, then answered.

"Because I saw Kamen Rider Kamen Rider riding a grasshopper motorcycle rushing towards me."

Conan:?
------

"Mr. Mori, I'm your idol. Would you do me the honor of joining me for this tokusatsu fan gathering?"

"Everyone will be very happy to know that the nationally renowned detective Kogoro Mouri will be here to support us!"

A man dressed as Kamen Rider, pushing a grasshopper motorcycle, excitedly suggested this to Kogoro Mouri.

"Furthermore, we have prepared a very lavish dinner, which will certainly not disappoint Detective Mori!"

Kogoro Mouri, who originally had no interest in Kamen Rider or anything like that, was planning to refuse.

However, upon hearing that meals would be provided, and considering that treating so many people to curry rice would cost a considerable amount of yen, Kogoro Mouri reluctantly accepted the invitation.

—Although he didn't know much about Kamen Rider.

But I watched a few episodes of Kamen Rider last night, so it should be fine to fool him. Anyway, I'm just getting a free meal.

Hopefully nothing bad will happen.

Looking ahead, Kogoro Mouri was already boasting to Kamen Rider about his detective exploits.

Conan, standing behind, couldn't help but sigh.

"Honestly, the old man is at it again... I really don't know what he's trying to say."

He only took a nap at the crime scene, and the process of solving the case was only told to him by others afterward. Does changing the perspective and repeating the reasoning process make the old man feel satisfied?

More and more tokusatsu enthusiasts from the surrounding area came to participate in the tokusatsu fan club.

The tokusatsu enthusiasts nearby were immediately filled with respect when they saw Chen En arrive alone with a primary school student in a blue suit to participate in the tokusatsu enthusiasts' gathering.

This young single father actually brought his child to participate in the tokusatsu fan meeting!
This is the unique composure of a seasoned anime fan who has shed all pretense and superficiality!

A tokusatsu enthusiast approached and asked in a low voice,

"Sir, are you also here for a tokusatsu fan club meeting? May I ask what kind of tokusatsu you like?"

Chen En took a sip of coffee and answered seriously.

"I prefer Batman."

Special effects enthusiasts: ?

Huh? Batman? Is Batman considered a tokusatsu (special effects) film? Yes, yes?
