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

Chapter 374 Niino City, Nagano Prefecture
Every feast must come to an end, and the music must stop as people disperse.

As the anime craze in Chiyoda Ward gradually faded, after brushing past countless Batman impersonators, Chen En stroked his chin, pondering where he could place in the Batman impersonation contest, only to sadly realize that it seemed impossible to get a ranking without taking action.

After all, he's not some super actor who can perfectly imitate Batman just by watching movies and reading comics.

That was the domain of the Supreme Bat, and the Supreme Little Bat still couldn't quite manage it.

"Hey, is it over already?"

Sonoko Suzuki looked with some regret at the gradually dispersing crowd in front of her.
Chen En, holding his coffee, was secretly amazed by the energy Suzuki Sonoko displayed. He had to admit that Suzuki Sonoko was indeed outstanding in terms of sheer energy; anyone else would probably have been exhausted long ago.

Then, he raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, and said,

"Based on this time and our current location, it seems we should head to the station now."

—Station? What station?
Sonoko Suzuki turned to look at Chen En, her eyes filled with a naive innocence.
Although she is just a high school girl, she already has the air of a college student.
In response, Chen En had no choice but to explain in more detail.
"It's about going to Nagano Prefecture to stargaze."

"I just checked my phone. Ran and Conan said they're almost at the station and asked where we are now—though I think it would be fine to just say we're still in Chiyoda Ward."

Suzuki Sonoko:?
Ah, I completely forgot about that!

Immediately, Sonoko Suzuki frantically pulled out her phone, glanced at the message Ran had sent, quickly replied, then looked around, glanced at the road sign next to her, before taking Chen En's hand and saying,
"Hurry, hurry, Arne, we're going to miss it!"

She frantically pulled Chen En towards the nearby BRT station, where a BRT bus was already visibly approaching. Chen En ran a few steps after it, then let go of her hand.

In the instant Sonoko Suzuki turned around in surprise,

He swiftly scooped Sonoko up in his arms and vanished in a few moments. The BRT bus hadn't even come to a complete stop yet, and Chen En, who had been some distance from the station before, was already standing at the station's waiting area with Sonoko in his arms.
He put down Sonoko Suzuki, whose face was already flushed, then raised his wrist to check the time and said,

"Perfect timing, time to go."

Upon seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki's mind went blank. It wasn't until she got into the car that she finally answered.

"Ah... um... um, it's time to go..."

------

"Conan, you look really cute in this outfit."

Ran Mouri smiled and ruffled Conan's hair beside her.

She's waiting for Sonoko Suzuki and Chen En at the station, but she's not bored at all because Yukiko Kudo sent her photos—all of Conan dressed up in strange costumes by Yukiko Kudo.

He has a Robin uniform, a Batman uniform, and even a Cardcaptor Sakura uniform. In that Cardcaptor Sakura uniform, Conan's redness is visibly visible, but he still can't do anything about the suppression of his mother's bloodline.

She discovered that her childhood sweetheart had already seen the photo.

Conan leaned back in his chair, looking utterly dejected. He looked up at the sky above the station, momentarily forgetting all sense of shame. If Ran found out he was Shinichi Kudo, his life as a famous detective would be over...

Tick, tick, tick.

Some hurried footsteps came from not far away. Conan subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the footsteps. He saw Chen En carrying Suzuki Sonoko and quickly arrived at the scene. Conan frowned as he watched.

Ran Mouri looked up in surprise at Sonoko Suzuki, whose face was flushed.
She stood up and shared the photos with Sonoko Suzuki with a smile. Sonoko Suzuki, who was initially shy, glanced at the photos and suddenly forgot what shyness was, almost laughing until tears streamed down her face.

Chen En glanced at it as well, then gave it a look of pity. Conan: ?
It’s red and warm, really red and warm!
Conan jumped off the chair in anger and shouted,

"You cold-hearted person! Do you think I would still forgive you now?!"

Hakinan has activated his Spinosaurus form.
However, under Chen En's merciless iron hand, it returned to normal after being rubbed.

Conan sat in the chair, looking as if he had burned out and was now just lifeless ashes.

Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri, who had just stopped laughing, turned around and saw Conan's expression, and they almost laughed again. It felt like a primary school student naming themselves "Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex War God" and then adding the caption "I'm going to turn evil."
That's very mature.

The train bound for Nagano Prefecture departed soon.

On the bus, after a whole day of playing and laughing, Sonoko Suzuki was finally a little tired. She leaned on Chen En's shoulder and decided to go for a short break, while Chen En used his other free hand to flip through a small notebook.

—He was still reviewing the fifth business development plan he had written in his spare time.

Conan, sitting opposite Chen En with a sullen expression, was still resentful of Chen En's failure to save him. However, his thirst for knowledge eventually took over, making him want to peek at what Chen En was looking at.

As we all know, Conan's habits are actually quite similar to those of a cat.

The main character is someone with a strong sense of curiosity who wants to touch and look at everything, and who doesn't learn from mistakes. This makes him easy for the killer on Love Cat TV to discover and love. If he weren't so lucky, he would probably have ascended to Planet Hakimi long ago.

Ran Mouri looked at Chen En and Sonoko Suzuki.

He couldn't help but recall his past interactions with Shinichi Kudo. Seeing Ran Mouri beside him seemingly reminiscing about the past again, Conan's eyes narrowed.
He had made up his mind not to let Lan continue to grieve, so he said in a low voice,

"Sister Xiaolan, you can lean on me and sleep for a while too."

Ran Mouri: ?

I was a little sad at first, but now I'm not.

Ran Mouri leaned down and ruffled Conan's hair, then said,

"What are you saying? You're still too young."

"Let's talk about it when you're older?"

Conan:?
Aike TV, you win!

------

The train sped forward and finally arrived at its destination.

Chen En gently woke up Sonoko Suzuki, who was still half asleep when Chen En pulled her slowly out of the car, while Ran Mouri and Conan followed behind, keeping a slight distance.

Nagano Prefecture and Niino City

Arrived.
