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

Until Chen En spoke.

“Uncle, that uninvited guest does indeed know illusion magic.”

"And you should have heard of his name."

"He is Günter von Goldberg II, the world's greatest illusionist, codenamed Spider within a transnational assassin organization. He possesses the supernatural ability to create illusions and superb magic skills."

"And he will be accompanied by a new witch who is skilled in magic."

"The witch's exact name is still unknown; it can only be assumed to be a purple witch active in the North American region."

If anyone else told me these supernatural things, I definitely wouldn't believe them.

But I believed Chen En when he told me.

Jirokichi Suzuki nodded in deep agreement.

"Oh, I see. That explains why they set up such a trap."

"But are magic and illusions really real? I've hardly ever encountered anything like this. When I have, everyone says it's an illusion, or something about protected animals..."

Do magic and miracles really exist?

He asked curiously.

Chapter 884 Miracles and Magic Don't Come for Free

When asked by Suzuki Jirokichi, Chen En answered without hesitation.

"Magic and miracles certainly exist."

"Not only do magic and miracles exist, but if nothing unexpected happens, I will soon be able to obtain magical items that will allow both of you to become magicians..."

"However, I believe you could have guessed it, Uncle?"

Miracles and magic don't come for free.

"When you take something, you must give something in return."

"Magic originates from the power of demons in hell. To obtain the magical power to wield magic, one must make a pact with a demon and thus acquire the demon's magical power..."

"Although I will soon be able to obtain magical items that will allow both of you to make a pact with the demon and gain magical power."

"However, unless absolutely necessary, I still do not want you to use that magical item to become magicians."

"This is just something I planned to leave for you. It's a special insurance policy to protect yourself, to be used only when you're in a life-threatening situation. I hope Sonoko and Uncle can understand."

Hearing Chen En's words.

Sonoko Suzuki and Jirokichi Suzuki exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of surprise.

They never expected Chen En to possess such extraordinary abilities.

They can even get their hands on things that can turn someone into a magician.

Although I yearn for the world of magic.

But when Chen En revealed that magic actually originated from the power of demons.

To obtain the magical power to wield magic, one must make a pact with a demon and pay a price.

Both Sonoko Suzuki and Jirokichi Suzuki silently gave up the idea of ​​immediately signing a contract with a demon after obtaining magical items, gaining magical power and becoming a magician.

Especially Sonoko Suzuki.

As a member of the new generation of young people, she couldn't help but complain.

"It sounds like I'm about to make a contract with Kyubey and become a magical girl, which is as dangerous as that."

Hearing this, Chen En turned his head to look at Suzuki Sonoko and sized her up.

This left Sonoko Suzuki somewhat bewildered.

She frantically adjusted her clothes and face, finding nothing unusual, before asking in confusion.

"Ah-en, why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"

Hearing this, Chen En nodded and said.

"It's nothing, I was just checking if your face is round enough, Sonoko."

"Although your name contains a homophone, if your face isn't round enough, you have no chance of becoming a garden god."

Sonoko Suzuki: ?

That's enough. What does this have to do with whether your face is round or not?

Which Madoka is this?

However, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"And what about that witch?"

"Arn, didn't you tell me before that the girl in the candy store was a powerful witch?"

"Since gaining magic requires making a pact with a demon and paying a price, what price did that witch pay? Was it something terrible?"

The girl in the candy store? The all-powerful witch?

Several question marks appeared above Suzuki Jirokichi's head.

He had never heard Sonoko Suzuki mention this matter.

What candy house? You're not talking about a fairy tale, are you?

Although there is indeed a witch in the candy house in fairy tales, her appearance has nothing to do with a young girl; she looks like a wrinkled old witch.

Seeing the somewhat confused look in Suzuki Jirokichi's eyes, Suzuki Sonoko then explained the incident at the candy store.

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Jirokichi suddenly realized what was going on and clapped his hands.

"Oh, so you're talking about Aiko's candy shop!"

"I was wondering why Arn suddenly bought a candy store. So that's why. Did she buy a candy store and get a witch as a gift? That's such a good deal. Take me to buy one next time."

Chen En: ?

Where can you find such a good deal?

If it were really that good, you wouldn't find a single candy store in Tokyo that doesn't have the Chen name.

However, what Jirokichi Suzuki said wasn't actually a big problem.

Koizumi Akako really loves desserts.

Since he bought that candy store, Koizumi Akako will probably go there to eat cake quite often in the future. In a narrow sense, it wouldn't be a big problem to say that he bought the candy store as a gift for the witch.

Although this sounds a bit strange.

Chen En shook his head and then said.

"That Scarlet Witch is indeed incredibly powerful."

"She is very likely one of the most powerful magicians in this country, or even in the world."

"However, the price she paid for it, or rather the curse she received, is actually not a big deal in my opinion. It is the curse that witches do not shed tears."

...Does a witch not shed tears?

Sonoko Suzuki and Jirokichi Suzuki exchanged a glance.

They were quite surprised by the curse that Chen En proposed.

If a witch's curse of losing her magic means she won't shed tears, then that is indeed a big problem.

You can't even touch onions, right?

It seemed as if Sonoko Suzuki and Jirokichi Suzuki had misunderstood the true meaning of this curse.

Chen En shook his head before answering.

"A witch cannot shed tears because of love."

"Otherwise, the Red Witch, who is arguably the most powerful magician in the world, would lose all her magic power. In other words, the witch cannot fall in love with anyone else."

"Otherwise, you will eventually shed tears because of love and lose your magic."

In his view, of course, it was no big deal.

Do you think I care?

I've been killing fish at RT-Mart for ten years, and my heart has long since grown as cold as the cleaver I use to kill fish...

The main reason is that Chen En is easily moved to tears.

After he came of age, he never shed a tear for anything, and even if Koizumi Akako's curse was placed on him, it would have no effect on him.

However, Sonoko Suzuki let out a small gasp of surprise.

"Wow, this is indeed a very serious curse."

"I can hardly imagine how terrible it would be if I had this curse, which would prevent me from ever falling in love with anyone for the rest of my life, or I would lose my magic!"

Jirokichi Suzuki, standing next to him, blinked somewhat inexplicably.

"What's so scary about that?"

"Look at your uncle, this talisman is like nothing to me. How can you call this a curse?"

This is the true value of a 70-year-old bachelor.

The legendary Holy Mage.

For Sonoko Suzuki, who loves romance and daydreaming, this curse might be the end of the world.

But for Suzuki Jirokichi, the curse is the same whether it exists or not.

However, he could figure it out just by thinking about it.

The cost of learning magic likely varies from person to person.

Otherwise, wouldn't the devil have been doing charity for nothing?
