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

It's not worth Lupin III personally taking action over something that's merely valuable.

However, Princess Mira, who was standing nearby, was completely unaware of Fujiko Mine's thoughts. She simply stood up and looked towards the arcade not far away.

To be precise, it's a claw machine.

She immediately pointed at the claw machine and said to Fujiko Mine with a righteous indignation,

"I want to play this!"

Oh dear, you really are a playful person.

Is this a plan to play as much as possible before the others find their way out?

Fujiko Mine snapped his fingers.

She chuckled softly.

"No problem, Your Highness."

"But if you can't catch it, then we'll have to replace you, okay?"

Princess Mira simply snorted coldly.

"I'm sure I can catch it!"

"Sonoko, let's go!"

Sonoko Suzuki: ?

Huh?

Are we that close?

Sonoko Suzuki blinked.

Without saying much, he followed Princess Mira and Fujiko Mine to the arcade.

After Princess Mira's crushing defeat at the claw machine, she finally made her way to her final destination.

Amusement park.

Chapter 1,382

playground.

The amusement park is much less crowded at night than during the day, and even fewer people ride the roller coaster.

One reason is that there's really nothing interesting to see on the roller coaster at night.

On the other hand, it's also because the horrific incidents that occurred on the roller coaster were too terrifying.

However, it's clear that Fujiko Mine, who spends most of her time away from home, and Princess Mira, who is from out of town, don't care at all.

Sonoko Suzuki followed instinctively.

It wasn't until she was seated on the roller coaster that she remembered the previous roller coaster murder incident.

Although they are not the same place.

But it's the same kind of activity.

Could something really be going to happen? I don't want that to happen!

As if sensing Sonoko Suzuki's nervousness, Fujiko Mine, who was standing next to her, asked curiously.

"Oh dear, what's wrong?"

"Miss Suzuki, you used to be such a fearless and optimistic person, why are you like this now?"

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki snapped out of her reverie and whispered her concerns to Fujiko Mine.

After hearing this, Fujiko Mine almost lost her composure.

Although I knew beforehand that Tokyo was prone to disasters, I didn't expect it to be this bad.

Is it possible for a simple roller coaster ride to lead to a heinous murder?

No, if we have to say, there have been similar heinous murders in almost every kind of attraction at amusement parks, right?

If you're worried about these things, then you might as well not go on any of the rides.

Let's just shut the amusement park down.

Fujiko Mine immediately tried to comfort Sonoko Suzuki, telling her to take it easy.

Princess Mira, however, focused her gaze on the cityscape in the distance after the roller coaster reached its highest point.

She stared blankly, lost in thought.

She didn't come to her senses until the roller coaster returned to low speed from its high speed.

Having just comforted Sonoko Suzuki, Fujiko Mine looked up and asked again.

"What's wrong, my dear princess?"

"Although the scenery at night is not as beautiful as during the day, there is nothing we can do about it."

"If you had arrived in Tokyo during the day, you might still be able to see Tokyo at 3 p.m. right now."

Why emphasize 3 PM?

Princess Mira was somewhat puzzled by this, but she still answered casually.

"I was just thinking..."

"Why is Tokyo a completely different world from the cities I saw in the kingdom?"

"If Mother were still alive, or if my brother had inherited the throne, could they have made the Kingdom of Vesbania as prosperous as Tokyo?"

She was a little unsure.

But trusting her mother and brother, she subconsciously felt that they could do it.

"If I were to return and inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Vesbania, would I be able to do as well as they have?"

Princess Mira seemed to be asking others for advice, but also seemed to be asking herself.

Fujiko Mine confirmed this.

"You'll have to ask the princess about that."

“If you want to be as good as your mother and brother, then you obviously have the opportunity to be.”

"But if we want to build the Kingdom of Vesbania into a city as prosperous as the Tokyo metropolitan area is now, I think it's unlikely."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Princess Mira's head, causing her to instinctively turn to look at Fujiko Mine.

She was about to ask Fujiko Mine again why it was impossible.

Then, Princess Mira fell silent.

She knew why, even without Fujiko Mine saying it.

Compared to other European countries, the Kingdom of Vesbania was too barren; its only redeeming quality was its Vesbania minerals.

However, the Vesbanian mines were blocked by various countries, and the former queen, who was also her mother, did not agree to the mining.

Therefore, although the Kingdom of Vesbania possesses some of the world's most valuable mineral resources, it has no way to profit from them.

Even if Princess Mira were to return and successfully inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Vesbania, and work diligently to govern it, it would be unlikely that she could achieve such a thing.

but……

"If you don't do it, you'll definitely regret it, right?"

Sonoko Suzuki poked her head out from the side and said,

"Whether you can do it or not is one thing, but whether you do it or not is another."

"If you say something is impossible, and you conclude that it is absolutely impossible without even trying it."

"Won't you regret it?"

...such things.

Princess Mira seemed about to speak, then looked at the city outside the amusement park, and finally sighed.

Of course!

"Whether or not I can actually make the Kingdom of Vesbania better, if I don't try, then I'll be doing something wrong."

"Even my mom and brother will be disappointed in me, right?"

Her hands gradually tightened around the grab bars in front of the roller coaster, and her eyes became resolute.

"So, I've made up my mind."

"I want to return to the Kingdom of Vesbania, I want to... become king!"

Upon hearing this, Fujiko Mine clapped repeatedly and added a word of encouragement.

"That's amazing, that's amazing."

"What should I say? Rejoice! The king of Vesbania has been born at this time?"

Just as Sonoko Suzuki was still admiring Princess Mila's choice, her phone quietly vibrated.

Sonoko Suzuki, who had been enjoying herself so much that she didn't want to leave, was startled by the vibration of her phone.

She quickly took out her phone, pressed the answer button, and held it to her ear. After hearing the voice on the other end of the line, she subconsciously looked at Fujiko Mine, seeking her opinion.

After Fujiko Mine nodded.

Sonoko Suzuki then agreed.

……

After the roller coaster ride ended.

Princess Mira, in a playful mood, dragged Sonoko Suzuki towards another amusement ride.

Meanwhile, Fujiko Mine followed behind like a parent with a child, not finding it strange at all, and simply feeling that things were progressing according to plan.
