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

"You're going to get beaten up for lying like that."

Even if I, Tetsu Michiko, and Tetsu Moroha teamed up, we might not be able to defeat you.

However, one should not be too arrogant.

What if there's someone even stronger than you?

Even Tetsuya Chiko's expression turned serious, and she asked directly.

Are you kidding me?

"You're saying Iron Sword is on Mars right now? But how is that possible? I don't know of any spacecraft that could send a person, even a high school student, to Mars."

Having said that, Chen En didn't hide anything.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"If man-made flying machines are not feasible, then what about the Dinglan Demon Sword?"

The name "Dinglan Demon Sword" was given to him by Koizumi Akako after she performed a divination.

At this moment, after such a long time, Chen En has brought it up again.

Tetsuya Chiko, who had initially been skeptical, fell silent upon hearing this.

A demon sword?

If that's the case, we have to admit there's a fair chance of it.

Even Okita Souji secretly clicked his tongue at this moment.

"You mean that kid Iron Sword tamed the Demon Sword?"

At this moment, only Tie Zhuyu showed a bewildered expression.

She truly didn't know, and had no way of knowing, what the so-called demonic sword was.

Sonoko Suzuki, who was standing next to Chen En, knew about these supernatural and bizarre things.

She was completely unaware of this.

Okita Souji stroked his chin and continued.

"I do know that such a thing as a demonic sword exists; many legendary swordsmen wield demonic swords."

"However, it seems that there are fewer and fewer of these things available."

"I never imagined that Iron Sword could obtain a magical sword that allows him to fly, and even go to Mars... What you told Zhu Yu earlier about the Iron Sword potentially threatening their safety, could you be referring to the enemies on Mars?"

Tetsuya Chiko's face was ashen as she spoke.

"Since you say it's such a demonic sword... I have no choice but to believe you."

“If it’s that kid Iron Sword, he certainly has the capability to do it. However, what you mean by ‘potentially threatening our safety’? If you’re talking about an enemy from Mars, then let’s forget about it.”

"I don't believe such empty words."

In response, Chen En simply took a sip of coffee, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice.

"An explosion occurred at a shopping mall in the Ekoda area."

"You should have seen the news about this. At the time, bombs were planted all over Tokyo, and Batman was rushing around to help. The news reports said that Batman saved a father and daughter in a shopping mall in the Ekoda area."

"However, as the chairman of Chen En Enterprise, I have satellites and high-precision equipment as support."

“I can tell you that the father and daughter are Mine Raizo and Mine Sayaka. Mine Sayaka is Tetsuken’s childhood friend and also his crush. Everyone on the surveillance camera evacuated except for them.”

"Why? Because of coincidence."

"It just so happened that the bomb was right next to them, it just so happened that the surveillance cameras in their area were broken, it just so happened that the staff didn't reach them during the evacuation, it just so happened that they didn't hear the announcement... everything was just right."

"Someone wants them to die just in time."

"Moreover, the person who saved them was not Batman, but a sword, a sword, the Dinglan Demon Sword."

He took the photo out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

That photo was taken at the Ekoda Department Store.

The photos clearly show that all the glass in the Ekoda Shopping Mall was shattered, and there was also a blurry sword that appeared in multiple places in the photos due to the high speed of the impact.

“Our Chen En Enterprises has cooperative relationships with some magicians, and we asked them to help investigate this sword.”

"They performed divination and concluded that the situation facing Mine Raizo and Mine Sayaka was a curse, and that the sword was named the Dinglan Demon Sword, which came from Mars... In that case, I don't need to explain anything further."

Chen En's words caused both Tetsuya Chiko and Okita Souji to frown simultaneously.

No wonder Chen En came to that conclusion earlier.

The cursed person who was almost killed in a series of accidents was the girl Iron Sword liked and her father. The magic sword that saved them flew from Mars, which would indeed lead people to conclude that the holder of the magic sword is Iron Sword, and that he is on Mars.

If it is possible that Mine Sayaka and Mine Raizo could become the objects of the curse.

Therefore, Tetsuken's family members, Tetsuken Michiko and Tetsuken Moroha, and even Tetsuken Juro, who is currently wandering around in some unknown corner of the world, could all become targets of the curse.

...Isn't it because of the iron sword that his life is in danger?

Chen En finally said.

"Furthermore, we cannot rule out the possibility that you have been taken hostage and used to blackmail Iron Sword."

“He possesses supernatural power that official forces cannot contend with. If he were to be coerced into using someone else's power, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation... I need to contact you.”

"And we'll leave ourselves some options."

Chapter 1272 I think you're really drunk.

"...It felt like we had suddenly turned into a superhero movie scene."

After leaving the Tetsu family's manor, Sonoko Suzuki subconsciously sighed.

"It's hard to imagine that these things exist in the same world as us."

"After all, I haven't seen any supernatural things like magic swords before!"

In response, Chen En simply took a sip of coffee and smiled noncommittally.

If it weren't for seeing that demonic sword that suddenly flew over at the Ekoda Shopping Mall back then...

He probably wouldn't believe that such an outrageous worldview existed.

Normally speaking, who would think that a device capable of manned spaceflight, allowing people to travel quickly between Earth and Mars, could appear in the world of Detective Conan?

The conversation with Tetsuya Chiko has achieved the desired effect.

He had some backup plan regarding the situation on the Iron Sword side, which made Chen En feel a little better. As for Okita Souji and Tetsuyu, they naturally did not come out with them.

Tie Zhuyu has truly arrived home, and judging from the humorous curriculum of this worldview...

She didn't have any classes in the afternoon.

Therefore, he didn't even have to go to school in the afternoon. Okita Souji, on the other hand, thought that since they had finally arrived at Aunt Michiko's house, they might as well take this opportunity to get closer to her and stay.

If he hadn't stayed in Kyoto Prefecture to wait for Chen En, but instead went directly to Tokyo to prepare for the Kendo League...

Even if they were still in Kyoto Prefecture at this point, they would most likely be undergoing special training at the Kyoto Prefecture Kendo Club.

Instead of chatting with Tetsuyu and Tetsu Michiko at the Tetsu family's manor.

But now that even the Kendo League has been postponed, it doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, today's practice time is over, so there's no need to do extra training to adjust my condition.

Why not think about marriage in the future?

"Speaking of which, Okita Souji really does look exactly like that Kudo kid."

"Why are there so many people in this world who look exactly alike? And there are so many who look exactly like Shinichi Kudo, it's really strange... There are even some who look like me."

On the way back, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"However, if Kudo's personality is similar to Okita Souji's..."

"Maybe he and Xiaolan had already confirmed their relationship, why would he keep dragging it out and not confirm their relationship until they were nowhere to be found?"

This kind of thing doesn't really matter.

Chen En blinked.

The main reason is that the relationship between Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri is actually almost like that of a couple, only they haven't officially defined their relationship. Who would consider them just childhood sweethearts?

That's true, having a formal title does make people feel more at ease.

He drove Sonoko Suzuki towards Kogoro Mouri's location.

Although he didn't call to ask where Kogoro Mouri was, based on the tracking device on Kogoro Mouri, he didn't need to do such a pointless thing.

As for whether Sonoko Suzuki, who is standing next to her, will be surprised by this?

Sonoko Suzuki already knew he was Batman, so why would she be surprised?

Can a Batman who doesn't install listening devices and tracking devices on those around him be called Batman?

However, when Chen En and Suzuki Sonoko arrived at the location shown by Kogoro Mouri's GPS, they couldn't help but fall silent. The reason was simple: Kogoro Mouri's state at that moment was rather peculiar.

They are now next to a green belt along the river.

Kogoro Mouri sat on the green lawn, looking quite drunk. He looked up at the cherry blossoms planted near the green belt and even put his arm around Heiji Hattori, acting crazy while drunk.

Although Heiji Hattori felt embarrassed, he couldn't break free for a while because Kogoro Mouri was quite strong.

Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama, however, seemed not to recognize them and were gazing at the distant scenery.

Originally, Kazuha Toyama seemed to be worried about the upcoming match against Momiji Ooka in the Satsuki Cup karuta tournament, but at this moment, he had completely put that worry out of his mind.

I have only one urge: to return to Osaka Prefecture immediately.

"...My understanding of the older man is still somewhat incomplete."

Is he usually like this?

Chen En paused for a moment in the driver's seat, then turned to ask Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

As Ran Mouri's best friend who grew up together.
