I?
Kirito was taken aback for a moment upon seeing this, and then cautiously said:
"Um, my real name is Kiritani Kazuto. Nice to meet you."
After a brief farewell, Asuna and Kirito opened the system menu and exited the game.
Before leaving, Asuna repeatedly emphasized to Fujimaru Ritsuka that she must come back to find her again.
Thus, with the departure of the last two players, Asuna and Kirito, only the three of them remained in SAO.
BB said to Fujimaru Ritsuka:
"So, shouldn't we head back to Chaldea now?"
"No, I can't go back."
However, Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her head and smiled:
"You and Bana should go back and report the situation first."
"Perfect timing, I was planning to go back to another world to rest first."
That's all! Now back to the Conan world.

Chapter 198. After returning, the first thing to do is to let them know I'm safe.
198.
2023-12-26
"You're back again."
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar office in front of her, Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed.
It feels familiar because she handled everything herself, but it feels strange because she left again on the first day of the opening and only returned now.
To be honest, the reason she wanted to start her own agency was because she was afraid of being idle in the Conan world and wanted to investigate the mysterious events surrounding this place. However, a series of events occurred immediately after she opened her agency, leaving her somewhat amused and exasperated.
Although she had been gone for a while, there was no dust in the office; everything was spotless, as if she had just left.
If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably because the professor has been having the cleaning done regularly.
The thought of the professor made her uneasy, because she had just resolved the incident caused by BB in another world, and she was afraid that the professor might be secretly causing trouble behind her back during this time.
So she thought for a moment, took out her phone, and called Moriarty first.
"Welcome back, Ritsuka."
After the call connected, before she could even speak, Moriarty's loud laughter came from the other end.
"I just didn't expect you to come back so late. Is there some problem at Chaldea?"
"No, there shouldn't be any problems at Chaldea. I just encountered a little unexpected event."
Upon hearing the question, she couldn't help but give a wry smile.
Despite her long absence, she actually only spent less than a day in Chaldea, and ultimately didn't seem to obtain any useful information.
Moriarty chuckled upon hearing this:
"Although it's somewhat unexpected, it also seems like nothing unexpected at all. In short, it seems like this isn't a situation that can be explained in just a few words over the phone."
"Hey, what did you mean by that first sentence? I can't pretend I didn't hear it."
Her face immediately darkened, and she said angrily.
Although Jeanne Alter had said something similar to her in the world of sorcery, she was quite resistant to it and vehemently denied it.
After all, you can't really blame yourself for being unlucky, can you?
"hehe."
Moriarty chuckled a few more times, not directly answering her question, but instead laughing:
"That's alright, I have plenty of time to listen. Perhaps a hearty and delicious dinner would be even better to help relieve the fatigue of the journey."
"But before that, please allow me to come and pick you up first."
She didn't press the matter further, but instead nodded and said:
"Yes, I'm at the firm now. Thank you for your help."
After explaining her position, she smiled and said:
"Speaking of which, Professor, your speech just now was starting to sound more and more like that of a butler."
Although she couldn't see the other person over the phone, she guessed that Moriarty must be in a very gentlemanly manner, with a warm smile, responding:
"I'd be happy to be your housekeeper as long as you're willing."
It must be said that the professor is quite charming when he's not being funny.
After hanging up Moriarty's call, she thought of Ai Haibara again.
Last time, she was suddenly transported to the world of jutsu before she could say anything, which seemed to startle the other party, making Ai Haibara think that she had disappeared.
With Moriarty staying behind to deal with the situation this time, the previous situation should not happen again.
However, after thinking about it, she still made a phone call to the other party.
"Ritsuka-neechan, you're back?!"
Just like Moriarty, the moment the call connected, before she could even speak, Ai Haibara's joyful voice came through the receiver.
"Yes, I just got back and I'm at the firm now."
Ai Haibara's reaction made her smile involuntarily, and then she said:
"The professor is coming to pick me up. We're going out for a big meal later. Ai, do you want to come along?"
"Of course, wait for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps came through the receiver, followed by a call to Professor Agasa. They seemed very impatient, so much so that they forgot to hang up the phone.
So she smiled, shook her head, hung up the phone, and started wandering around the office.
The layout of the office was exactly the same as before she left, and the number of items in the display cases had not changed at all, so it seemed that the office had not opened for business since she left.
Although the office was quite spacious and everything there was arranged by her own hands, making it very familiar to her, she began to feel a little bored after walking around the office for a while.
Then she suddenly noticed that the lights were still on in the Mouri Detective Agency across from her office, so it must still be open for business.
"Hmm, let's go pay them a visit."
So she closed the office door, went downstairs, crossed the street, went up to the second floor, and rang the doorbell in front of the Mouri Detective Agency.
"Here we come, please wait!"
Ran Mouri's youthful and energetic voice came through, accompanied by a 'click' as the door opened.
Upon seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka, Ran Mouri paused for a moment, then exclaimed with delight:
"Ritsuka, you're back!"
"Well, I'm back."
She responded with a smile:
"Long time no see, Xiaolan."
"Long time no see, please come in."
Ran Mouri happily led her into the house, then turned to Kogoro Mouri and smiled:
"Dad, Ritsuka is back."
"I know, really, I'm not blind."
Kogoro Mouri, who had initially thought it was a customer and hurriedly put on a serious face, immediately deflated upon seeing Ritsuka Fujimaru and waved his hand dismissively in response.
"But speaking of which, this is the first time I've ever seen a firm close down on its first day of operation."
Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and defended herself:
"Because he has other more important things to deal with, what can we do? Ritsuka, don't worry about him."
"Ah, um."
Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head somewhat awkwardly.
To be honest, this was the first time she had ever met him either.
"Ritsuka-neechan is back?"
At that moment, Conan also came out of the room, and upon seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka, he greeted her politely:
"It's been a long time, Ritsuka-neechan."
"Conan-kun, it's been a long time."
After exchanging greetings, Conan looked at the other person with some curiosity. Just as Kogoro Mouri had said, the agency was closed for business on its first day of operation, and he was curious about what the other person had been doing during that time.
But then he remembered Professor Agasa's warning to him, and he felt a chill and silently told himself not to pry into unnecessary things.
Meanwhile, after pouring tea for Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mouri Ran sat down opposite her and asked with some curiosity:
"Ritsuka, what have you been doing all this time?"
!
Despite his efforts to stop investigating Fujimaru Ritsuka as usual, Conan's ears immediately perked up when he heard Ran Mouri's question.
Damn it, my darn curiosity!
Despite feeling deeply humiliated, Conan couldn't help but listen silently.
Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:
"It's nothing, it's just that Gari had some things to take care of. I originally thought it would take some time before I could go back and deal with it, I didn't expect to be able to go back so soon."
"That's it"
Although no specifics were given, Mouri Ranru nodded thoughtfully, then asked with concern:
