The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

Kazama Kaoru looked at the maniacally laughing Atsuko, or rather, Ikeda Chikako, and was speechless. Basically, he didn't even need to control his chakra to slowly invade her; this mentally unstable female ghost was slowly going insane in the illusionary environment created by Kazama Kaoru.

"She's a pitiful girl, System. Do you have any way to get her out of Ikeda Chikako's body? How would that be classified as a split personality?"

"Host, you just need to place your hand on her forehead, and I will take care of the rest. Your mission is then complete."

"It's that simple. I think you could do it yourself."

Kazama Kaoru glanced at Hiroki Kakutani, who was suffering from "kidney deficiency," and couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy in his eyes. He figured that this guy's health would suffer a little after this, but it would certainly make him live longer. He wondered if Kakutani thought it was worth it.

The boy in front of me was like Yakushi Kabuto under the influence of Izanami, completely absorbed in his own world, unable to extricate himself, except that he kept muttering to himself like a madman.

"Ugh, this is giving me a headache. How am I going to explain this to Xiaolan and the others?"

Kaoru Kazama was so engrossed in chatting with the female ghost that he lost track of time. It was almost 1 a.m., and he would definitely be questioned when he got back. He couldn't very well say that the two of them had an uncontrollable encounter in the wild.

Kaoru Kazama sat on the grass, disregarding his image, with Chikako Ikeda and Hiroki Kakutani lying unconscious beside him. According to the system's authoritative explanation, these two wouldn't wake up for at least a short time, so he could confidently fabricate reasons.

Although this guy's idea was quite dangerous, his anesthesia technique was pretty good. At least now Kazama Kaoru doesn't have to worry about how to explain if the two of them wake up halfway through.

"Or, while the Mangekyou Sharingan's cooldown is still up, let's just use a genjutsu on everyone!"

Kazama Kaoru pondered the feasibility of the plan. In reality, although he had just listened to Atsuko's rambling for a while, he hadn't activated his Sharingan that early, so he still had almost an hour to use it.

"System, will using illusion magic on the people of this world leave any aftereffects? What if Ran forgets Shinichi Kudo? Would that count as directly changing the world?"

"You can rest assured about that. Although chakra is incomprehensible to this world, it is not unacceptable. Chakra, which is formed by the combination of cellular energy and spirit, will not produce any toxic side effects on the human body. From this point of view, the energy in the Naruto world is obviously the most environmentally friendly."

Kaoru Kazama: "...The system's usual playful antics are something he's used to."

What's the point of environmental protection? The average lifespan of a ninja in the Naruto world is only around 30 or 40 years, which is quite low. Even if they cultivate Sage Mode, it's still the same. So, environmental protection is useless.

"Phew, what happened yesterday? I don't remember anything about it."

Chikako Ikeda looked on in bewilderment as everyone ate breakfast.

"Chikako, you're finally awake! I thought you'd sleep until noon. Come and eat!"

Ayako quickly invited Chikako Ikeda to the table for dinner. As for Hiroki Kakutani, although he had some minor issues, he wasn't possessed, so he woke up earlier.

"What? I can't remember what I did yesterday. Was I drunk?"

After all, he had been possessed by Dunzi, so he might have some slight impressions in his subconscious, which is why he is so curious about his current situation.

"Oh, we had a cocktail party last night. Chikako, you can't hold your liquor, you drank a bit too much, you probably blacked out."

The speaker was none other than Hiroki Kakutani, who had woken up earlier. This guy believed in Kaoru Kazama's altered memories quite a bit, but after learning his true colors, Kazama couldn't help but feel a bit disgusted with this seemingly righteous person.

As for that fat guy Takahashi, although he didn't actually hurt anyone, he was still a key figure. And because he wasn't conscious at the time, he couldn't change his memory. I guess Inspector Megure and the others will send someone to deal with this poor guy soon.

Compared to the original work, where the fat man Takahashi, who was controlled by Atsuko, was clearly more innocent due to his infatuation with Atsuko and the injustice he suffered, this whole mess wouldn't have happened if it weren't for him.

"Really? Looks like I really did drink too much."

My head was still throbbing, and although it didn't feel like a hangover, since everyone was saying so, Ikeda Chikako stopped doubting it. People have a tendency to follow the crowd, don't they?

"Ran, Sonoko, I'm going straight back to the Metropolitan Police Department with Inspector Megure and the others. Do you want to come along?"

"Hey, how did Inspector Megure and the others get here? By helicopter?"

"Well, that's the only way. I remember you guys have school today, right?"

These two energetic girls seemed to have completely forgotten that they were supposed to go to school today.

"Oh no, I completely forgot! Xiaolan, please let me see your homework!"

"That's no problem, but my assignments are at the firm, I'm afraid I won't have enough time."

Sonoko, who had been leisurely waiting for the Suzuki Group to come and repair the suspension bridge, suddenly lost her composure. Homework is always a student's worst nightmare.

Kazama Kaoru, watching this scene, felt nostalgic for his own student life. Sometimes he would wonder why the system hadn't let him transmigrate directly into a student, so he could experience the atmosphere of a high school in Japan.

However, this is just wishful thinking. The pressure of getting into university in island nations is considerable, so I certainly can't be as lazy as I am now.

Chapter 82 will resume updates tomorrow.

I've been busy with exams these past few days, and I'm feeling dizzy from studying. I have my last exam tomorrow at noon, and I'll resume updates in the evening.

Chapter 83 The System Who Likes Watching TV Series and Reading Mary Sue Novels

Riding in a helicopter and taking a girl for a ride is something Kaoru Kazama could never have dreamed of in his previous life. He's done it in this life, but unfortunately, he can't make a move on her. It's a sad thing.

As Kaoru Kazama watched the clouds rushing past the window, he reminisced about his loser life in his previous life.

To be honest, he always feels like he's being packaged by the system. Although he's not to the point of feeling uncomfortable, after spending so much time in Japan and seeing so many otaku, he can't help but reminisce about his own otaku days.

"Sigh, life is so unsatisfying."

"Xiao Xun, what's wrong? Did you run into some trouble?"

Ran is very perceptive; noticing that Kaoru Kazama wasn't in high spirits, she asked worriedly:

"It's nothing, just some trivial things in life. By the way, Ran, do you and Sonoko both have boyfriends yet?"

Kaoru Kazama asked the question seemingly casually, but he actually wanted to see Ran's shy reaction.

"Well, I don't have one yet, but Xiaolan has a husband she's known since childhood."

Sonoko is indeed a master at betraying her best friend, skillfully shifting the blame onto Ran. It seems this isn't the first or second time she's done this.

"Sonoko, what are you saying?"

Ran's face was completely red, and her shy appearance was quite charming. Anyone who saw it would probably think that pairing her with Shinichi Kudo, that reasoning maniac, was a waste.

"Conan, why are you blushing? Do you like your Ran-neechan too?"

"No, no, I'm just a little hot."

Watching Conan's wildly waving hands and his face turn bright red, Kaoru Kazama once again found a purpose in life by teasing Conan.

"It's okay, I support you. I think you're much more reliable than that Shinichi Kudo."

It felt incredibly satisfying to speak ill of Shinichi Kudo to Conan. Seeing Conan's complicated expression, as if he had just eaten shit, Kaoru Kazama's secret pleasure doubled.

"So, Yuanzi, do you have a crush on any boys?"

Kaoru Kazama inquired with great interest, noting that compared to the well-known Shinichi and Ran romance since watching Detective Conan, Suzuki's love life, which hadn't been explored in much detail on television, was clearly more mysterious.

To be honest, Kaoru Kazama could recount the whole mess between Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri with his eyes closed; he probably knew it better than they did themselves.

"It's better not to let a little kid like that know a young girl's secrets."

Sonoko changed the subject, grabbed Conan's head, and used him as an excuse to skip over the whole thing.

"Tch, that gossipy old woman, always making excuses."

Conan clearly didn't dare to vent his anger on Kaoru Kazama, so he could only grumble about Sonoko in his heart. But there was nothing he could do, since the two of them had been incompatible since childhood. Strictly speaking, they could be considered childhood sweethearts, but in the end, they disliked each other.

"Alright, we've arrived. You guys go to school now, the timing is perfect. I should go to work too."

Due to regulations, Kaoru Kazama's dream of making a super cool entrance by landing directly at the entrance of Teitan High School couldn't be realized, so he had to leave Ran and Sonoko at the nearest plaza.

"Alright, I should go to work now."

Unfortunately, Kaoru Kazama couldn't take a helicopter directly to the Metropolitan Police Department because the helicopter had to fly to a nearby airfield. So, Kaoru Kazama had no choice but to walk to work.

"Could this be a plan to skip school?"

Kaoru Kazama happened to be passing by the back of Teitan High School when she spotted a "boy" who nimbly vaulted over a wall that was taller than a person, landed lightly on the ground, and clapped his hands. Judging from his skill, this was clearly not his first time.

"A delinquent? That's surprisingly bold."

Back in the day, Kaoru Kazama and his friends never skipped class to go to internet cafes so openly. They usually had to sneak around like thieves, hiding from the dean of students and teachers. If they got caught, they would get a disciplinary action.

However, people generally seek excitement, and the more they are chased and blocked, the more exciting it feels. Therefore, to some extent, the strict control by teachers and deans is also an objective factor in students skipping classes.

(The above is all nonsense. I was a model student who never skipped class, except in college.)

"Ouch!!"

Kazama Kaoru initially thought the bad student was quite agile after his stylish landing, but when "he" stood up, he stumbled and crashed straight into Kazama Kaoru.

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

Kazama Kaoru never expected this to happen. With his mind on the side of surprise, even with his superior physical abilities, he couldn't react in time.

"I'm fine, but could you come down first?"

Kazama Kaoru was in a very awkward position. As a grown man, he was being pinned to the ground and unable to get up. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have even suspected that this guy was trying to take advantage of him on purpose.

"Hey, this is so soft, could it be a girl?"

Kaoru Kazama didn't notice it at first, but when she came to her senses, she realized where it was, since she could feel a living person pressing down on her.

"You're a woman?"

Kazama Kaoru's tone was surprised. It wasn't that this person looked rough; on the contrary, she was a rather spirited girl. However, judging from her aura and behavior, it was hard to believe she was a girl.

And the most important point, which is also the key to why Kazama Kaoru misunderstood the girl's gender, is that the girl was wearing a black Zhongshan suit.

Normally, the Zhongshan suit is a school uniform for boys, and girls should wear a short skirt regardless of what they wear on top. However, this black Zhongshan suit makes the girl look exceptionally dashing.

Would a normal high school girl climb over walls so easily? Even Ran, who is a bodyguard with fighting skills, wouldn't do that; at most, she would just tear down the wall.

"Students should focus on their studies; student life is a wonderful time."

Kaoru Kazama pretended that nothing had happened, but in his heart he was secretly sensing the size of the girl's breasts. She must be at least a B cup. He really didn't know how she could hide it. She looked so flat from the outside.

"Um, if you're alright, I'll be going now. I have something urgent to attend to. I'm really sorry about today."

I feel inexplicably strange. What's wrong with me today? I even got hit by a living person while walking down the street. No wonder my left eyelid keeps twitching. I guess this is an early sign.

"Host, this is your final destination."

Suddenly, the system's voice rang in his mind. Fortunately, Kazama Kaoru was thick-skinned, otherwise he would have been scared to death by this elusive and neurotic system sooner or later.

"What the heck? You suddenly ran out just to tell me this?"

Kazama Kaoru's first reaction was that the system was acting up again. Why is it that other people's systems help their hosts fight monsters above their level and show off their skills, while his system is so low-level? Even the protagonist of a slice-of-life story has dignity, you know.

"Don't you two think you're a perfect match? One's a cross-dresser, and the other's a cross-dresser; you couldn't be more compatible!"

"I told you to read less romance novels and watch less mindless soap operas, but you wouldn't listen. Once you see Noah's Ark, you should really learn from it; that's what artificial intelligence is all about."
