Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

As he spoke, he suddenly said with a hint of fear:

"Hey, am I really getting old?! Am I already out of touch with the latest trends?!"

Ran Mouri comforted her:

"Don't worry, Dad, you're not that old yet."

"Is it just that he's 'not that old'?!"

Dr. Agasa chuckled and said:

"Isn't that a good thing? If everyone could think like Ritsuka, maybe world peace could really be achieved."

Sonoko Suzuki gave her a thumbs up and said:

"I think he's really handsome too!"

"haha, thank you!"

She responded with a smile.

However, Ai Haibara, who knows many secrets, does not believe that the design of this symbol could be so hasty.

While the goal of protecting the world might be too ambitious for an agency, it's something else entirely—

Human rights protection agency

Could this actually be the logo of that organization?

She made this guess in her mind, and at the same time, a sense of worry arose.

If the result is indeed the same as her guess, is it really okay to just display the symbol of the secret organization like this?

After all, there was also a detective with a strong sense of curiosity at the scene.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Conan.

As she expected, the other person was staring thoughtfully at the sign on the wall, seemingly not entirely believing Fujimaru Ritsuka's statement.

On the other hand, with this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's simple, almost non-existent opening ceremony came to an end.

Similar to Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, after giving out small gifts to everyone else present, the opening ceremony was officially concluded with a meal together.

Perhaps it was a blessing for the new store opening, but this gathering was unusually free of any murders.

After the meal went smoothly, everyone left the restaurant and went their separate ways.

Conan followed slowly behind the group, still pondering questions related to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

To be honest, he's having a real headache right now.

Rich, ran away from home, highly skilled, has conflicts with his family, needs to handle special events, and now has someone who likes the occult.

So far, despite the increasing amount of information we've gathered about Fujimaru Ritsuka, her identity hasn't become clearer; instead, more and more mysteries have arisen.

That's a tricky guy.

Getting back to the main topic, what he's currently considering is the Chaldean symbol printed on the wall.

Regarding the meaning of the symbol, his analysis was similar to that of Professor Agasa, except that some details still had questions.

For example, the small dot between two olive branches, or the meaning of the two wavy lines, etc.

However, one thing is certain: the symbolic meaning of that Chaldean symbol is quite profound.

That's the crux of the matter.

Although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that Fujimaru Ritsuka did not design the logo purely out of interest, as she claimed.

Even the question remains whether the logo was actually designed by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

When faced with this problem, Uncle Mori's initial words provided him with a very important insight.

The emblem of the United Nations is very similar to the Chaldean symbol.

Although the two are quite different in detail, they do use a similar olive branch design.

Ultimately, the existence of the olive branch motif forms the basis of the grand symbolic meaning of the Chaldean emblem.

The symbolic significance of protecting the world is too grand for a firm, but it's quite normal for a large organization like the United Nations.

Even if it has ties to the United Nations.

"Shinichi, Shinichi!"

Suddenly, a voice calling his real name startled him from his thoughts. He quickly looked up and saw that the person calling him was Professor Agasa.

"It's you, Doctor."

He immediately let out a long sigh of relief, then muttered a complaint under his breath:

"I told you not to call me by my real name when other people are around, what if it gets exposed?"

"Ah, sorry sorry."

Professor Agasa realized what was happening, scratched his head sheepishly, then immediately became serious and asked him:

"You were just thinking about Ritsuka's problem, weren't you?"

"Well, what happened?"

"I have a question for you. Ritsuka isn't our enemy, is she?"

"Of course. What exactly are you trying to say, Doctor?"

Professor Agasa's serious expression and the strange questions he asked left him completely puzzled.

"I'm talking to you,"

Seeing him like this, Professor Agasa sighed in exasperation and said:

"I really don't know how such a good girl like Xiaolan could fall for a blockhead like you."

"Hey?!"

"Listen up, Shinichi."

Ignoring Conan's protests, Professor Agasa sternly warned him:

“I know you like to get to the bottom of things no matter what happens. This is your strength, but it is also your weakness.”

"Ultimately, everyone has secrets they don't want to reveal, and not everyone likes to be interrogated like this."

“If it were an enemy, that would be one thing, but since Ritsuka is not our enemy but a friend, you should at least be more mindful of your boundaries.”

"If you keep going like this, one day you might be disliked by other people."

".!"

Professor Agasa's reminder left Conan stunned.

Chapter 126. How to return to Chaldea?

126.

2023-11-20

After the dinner, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two did not go home, but returned to the agency.

"I have my own agency now!"

Sitting in her own office chair, she glanced around the office and felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

At this moment, Moriarty, sitting on the guest sofa, looked at her and asked with some confusion:

"Speaking of which, Master, why did you choose this location for your agency?"

"If you're willing, there are even more and better positions available, right?"

Upon hearing this, she smiled and replied:

"Because across from us is the Mori Detective Agency."

"Don't let Uncle Mori's appearance fool you, he's actually quite famous as a detective, and many people specifically ask him to handle all sorts of cases."

Having said that, Moriarty understood and nodded with a smile:

"I see, that is indeed a good method."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's plan was exactly as Conan had thought: to leverage traffic and complement each other's strengths.

Because their respective business areas do not conflict, there is no competitive relationship between them.

Although her purpose in opening the firm was not to make money, but to investigate mysterious events in the world.

However, the premise of an investigation is, of course, having a direction for the investigation.

Therefore, she thought that she might be able to obtain some useful information by taking advantage of the customer traffic brought by the Maori Detective Agency.

After all, among those who come to Kogoro Mouri for help are people from all walks of life.

If mysterious forces truly exist in this world, these people may have heard of or personally experienced some mysterious events.

In addition-

She turned on the computer in front of her, opened a webpage, entered the URL, and soon, a striking Chaldea logo appeared in the center of the screen.

This is the website of the Chaldean Mystic Agency, which includes information about the agency's services.

The agency handles a range of mysterious incidents, including those involving ghosts, monsters, demons, superpowered individuals, and alien creatures, and includes its phone number and email address.

The only thing that could be considered a function was a message board.

The website is very simple, but it's sufficient.

At first, she might need to rely on Kogoro Mouri's popularity, but in the future, she thinks it's more likely that she'll be able to obtain information online.

The premise is that there are indeed other mysterious events besides Ridu Island.

Of course, what she hoped for most was that no other mysterious forces existed.

"By the way, Professor, how's your bar doing these days?"

Suddenly remembering this, she asked Moriarty curiously.
