Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

However, after racking his brains and searching through all the knowledge in his mind, he could only come to this conclusion—

This is indeed a mysterious force that defies common sense and makes no sense whatsoever.

This conclusion almost completely shattered his worldview.

"So, great detective?"

Just then, Ai Haibara's cheerful voice suddenly came from the side, followed by teasing words—

"Having witnessed this scene with your own eyes, don't you have any feelings at all?"

"Or are you too shocked to speak?"

Seeing Conan's dumbfounded expression, Ai Haibara couldn't help but recall how she first noticed this kind of thing on Hito Island.

Back then, only Fujimaru Ritsuka and James the butler were by her side, so no one would laugh at her. But now, she can laugh at Conan to her heart's content, as someone who has been through it all.

And to be honest, the first mysterious event she faced was caused by the rice wave, which led to reincarnation, time travel, and the shadow disease. This was far more terrifying than the small change in the weather she was experiencing now.

Thinking of this, Ai Haibara slightly curled the corners of her mouth, and her gaze towards Conan couldn't help but carry a hint of superiority.

Meanwhile, after hearing Ai Haibara's words, Conan finally came to his senses and looked at Ai Haibara with a wry smile:

"You knew all along, didn't you? This is the real secret that Fujimaru Ritsuka was hiding?"

After learning all this, looking back at his previous speculations about Fujimaru Ritsuka's true identity, they all seemed so ridiculous and powerless.

After all, who would have thought that mysterious forces actually exist in the world, and that Fujimaru Ritsuka would be related to them?

The truth behind it had long been excluded from his cognitive framework, so of course he could never guess it.

Then, he suddenly remembered that Ai Haibara had suddenly become interested in the occult after returning from her trip with Ritsuka Fujimaru, and she still often reads books on the subject.

Perhaps Ai Haibara already knew everything by then?

"uh-huh."

Ai Haibara first affirmed Conan's first question, but regarding the second question, she raised an eyebrow slightly and said:

"Hide it? That doesn't seem quite right."

"After all, Ritsuka-neechan brazenly opened her mystery agency right across from the Mouri Detective Agency, didn't she?"

"..."

Conan was speechless, and finally understood why Fujimaru Ritsuka had said that he would only understand after seeing it with his own eyes.

Just like the mystery agency she runs, those who don't believe in it will only think of it as a charlatan. Only after seeing the truth with their own eyes can they understand that the mystery agency is not just a name, and that Fujimaru Ritsuka is really handling mystery cases.

Thinking of this, Conan looked up at the sky again, still somewhat incredulous, and murmured:

"Since the Weather Maiden is real, does that mean the current abnormal weather is really caused by some mysterious force?"

Hui Yuan Ai chuckled and said:

"What, are you still unwilling to face reality?"

"Do not……"

Conan shook his head, but faced with this situation, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Because this is clearly another area that the detective cannot reach, even if he knows the truth, he cannot play any role.

To extend this line of thought, what would he do if mysterious forces appeared in future cases?

"Don't overthink it, great detective."

As someone who's been through similar experiences and understands Conan's personality fairly well, Ai Haibara could roughly guess what he was thinking from his current expression, so she said:

"Detectives aren't saviors; it's arrogant to think they can meddle in everything."

"Besides, even mysterious forces have their own set of rules and logic. Otherwise, what do you think we're investigating?"

"what……"

Upon hearing this, Conan gradually came to his senses.

Reasoning, based on logic, is the process of deriving a conclusion from one or more known premises.

As long as something has rules and logic, reasoning can still work, whether it's a murder case or a so-called mysterious event.

After figuring out the problem, Conan's eyes gradually brightened again.

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka also came to Conan's side and asked with a smile:

"How's it going, Conan-kun?"

"It sucks."

Upon hearing this, Conan couldn't help but give a wry smile and replied helplessly:

"If I had known it would be like this, maybe it would have been better not to know the truth."

"That doesn't sound like something a detective would say."

Fujimaru Ritsuka chuckled and teased, then added with a laugh:

"Now, you should have the answer you wanted, right?"

Conan looked somewhat puzzled. The answer Fujimaru Ritsuka gave must be the true identity of the other party that he had always wanted to know.

So far, all he knows is that 'mysterious forces do exist in this world' and 'Fujimaru Ritsuka's hidden secret is related to mystery'.

As for Fujimaru Ritsuka's true identity, he still knew nothing.

"The answer and all that..."

"!"

However, Conan seemed to realize something halfway through his sentence, and instantly froze on the spot.

He suddenly remembered something: before he left Fujimaru Ritsuka's house last night and contacted Amuro Tooru, he had indeed asked Fujimaru Ritsuka about her true identity, and she had indeed given him an answer.

Now, this answer has suddenly become profound in his mind—

'Actually, I come from another world; I'm a member of Chaldea, an organization dedicated to saving humanity!'

—From another world?!

He suddenly looked up, shocked, at Fujimaru Ritsuka. He opened his mouth with difficulty, wanting to ask something, but after trembling for a moment, he closed his mouth again and said nothing.

Noticing Conan's unusual behavior, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked with some curiosity:

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"...No, it's nothing."

After a moment of silence, Conan slowly shook his head.

In reality, the problems in his heart were about to explode, but since his values ​​had just been challenged, he was worried about what shocking answers the other party would give next.

His heart couldn't take it.

Never mind, I'll ask again next time.

Conan comforted himself inwardly.

I'm taking a day off for Qingming Festival to rest, and then I'll go to visit the graves tomorrow.

Updates will resume tomorrow if things go smoothly, or the day after tomorrow if things go slowly!

Chapter 355 What?! Fujimaru Ritsuka is also a Weather Maiden?!

"Ritsuka,"

On the other side, after finishing her conversation with Hodaka Morishima, Hina Amano walked over to Ritsuka Fujimaru, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said:

"How's my ability?"

No matter how mature a young girl is, she can't help but feel a little proud when she shows off her abilities and faces the shocked expressions of the crowd.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was generous with her praise, smiling and saying:

"Well, that's great!"

"Well……"

Hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's praise, Amano Hina smiled a little shyly.

At this moment, Conan looked at Hina Amano with a complicated expression.

This girl who completely shattered his worldview will probably be someone he can never forget.

Suddenly, Conan seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask:

"Hina-neechan, was that '30-minute sunny day' phenomenon from not long ago also caused by you?"

Although he asked such a question, Conan did not remain doubtful. Instead, he subconsciously wanted to confirm the current situation again, that is, to have more evidence to definitively prove the facts before him.

However, judging from the current situation, there is no one else besides her, right?

"That matter..."

But to Conan's surprise, Hina Amano shook her head, giving a negative answer—

"I didn't do it that time."

"I knew it... Wait, huh?"

"You didn't do it?!"

Conan nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized what she meant, looked at her in disbelief, and quickly asked:

"What exactly happened?!"

Even if you ask me that, I still…
