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

"...Now?"

She then mumbled her reply.

"Okay, okay, I'm coming right now."

At this time, she has already finished showering and changed into her bathrobe, and is browsing through her books, preparing to read for a while before going to sleep. Now she has to change into that witch's uniform before going over there.

...On another note, other magicians wear everyday clothes when using magic.

She's the only one who insists on wearing that kind of chuunibyou-looking magical girl uniform when using magic. Should she just change this habit next time, so that people won't think she's stupid in the future?

Koizumi Akako opened the wardrobe while struggling with her decision.

What came into view was a wardrobe full of magical girl uniforms.

As the successor to the Scarlet Witch, her family has been one of the most powerful magicians in the world for generations. Moreover, they lived in Japan, a country without any official mystical forces, so it was easy for them to accumulate a great fortune.

Naturally, they wouldn't mind preparing many similar magical girl uniforms as backups.

As she made her selections, she also reviewed what signature lines she should use to express her identity and stance if she were to make a prediction when she met Chen En later.

However, what Koizumi Akako didn't know was that Chen En had just finished calling her when he immediately dialed Lorenzo's number.

The only sound around this North American exorcist was the howling wind.

His voice was broken and unclear, and he even spoke with some heavy breathing.

"...Do you really have to call me at this time?"

At that moment, Lorenzo, who was being chased by other mages because of the incident, glanced at the group of mages behind him and couldn't help but swallow hard, thinking to himself.

Damn it, the local magicians are so rude.

They are nothing like the understanding magicians of the United States!

All I did was take a few magical items and replace the fake ones with the new ones. Why are you making such a fuss like I killed your parents? Why are you chasing me so relentlessly? Do you have some ulterior motive towards me?

Chen En's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"...Didn't I ask you to investigate those matters before?"

"You said you would give me an answer in the next few days, but now someone has used what appears to be that magician's magical artifact to cause an explosion, and they will cause an even bigger explosion tomorrow at 3 pm."

"I have already paid you the commission fee, so let me ask you for the current investigation results."

Upon hearing this, Lorenzo was taken aback.

I checked, and today is only Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday.

I promised to give you an answer within this week, and there's still one day left.

That criminal was really something. Why did he have to do it tonight? Couldn't he have done it tomorrow night? That way I could have stolen everything and run away!

Lorenzo had no choice but to say.

"Okay, okay, I'm busy right now."

"I'll give you a location. Go there and wait for me. I'll be there in a bit."

Chapter 1102 How did you bypass my detection magic?

"...Ah, so that's what it is. It is indeed a magical item that causes a kind of presence confusion."

In front of the supercomputer inside the Bat Cave.

Having already changed into her magical girl uniform, Koizumi Akako ignored Haibara Ai and Curaçao, who were still breathing on each other, treating them merely as background decorations inside the Batcave, and said thoughtfully.

"You should know that red magic is somewhat inaccurate in its prophetic abilities."

"I've been reading books on divination lately, trying to improve my understanding of its flaws. If you're asking me to divine the location of the magician who created this magical item, that might not be very accurate."

"But then again, if you want me to nail him to the ground, you can say so now."

As the most powerful magician in all of Japan, Koizumi Akako confidently uttered some very dangerous words.

"Even if I only use a minor curse like the Ugly Hour Worship, I can easily nail someone to death, right?"

"Anyway, what you're worried about now is that this person might use similar magical items to continue creating various explosions, causing instability throughout Beika Town and even Tokyo. So why not just cut off the source?"

Chen En: ?

Is it a bit much for you to say something like that in front of me, the Batman of Beika Town?

Although Chen En was somewhat speechless, he knew that Koizumi Akako was just like that.

Her first appearance in Magic Kaito almost killed Kaito Kuroba, who was playing the Phantom Thief Kid. It was snowing at the time, otherwise Magic Kaito probably wouldn't have lasted more than three or five episodes.

Although Koizumi Akako was no longer as violent as before due to the influence of Kuroba Kaito.

However, when faced with these extremely dangerous magicians who abused magical effects, Koizumi Akako's attitude remained the same—violent and direct...

(In Chapter 117, Koizumi Akako attempted to use the hour of the 1-3 AM to nail a spider to the shrine in order to seek revenge, but the spider was fast and escaped Tokyo overnight, making it impossible to select it as the object of her curse.)

"...Didn't you say you had no way of confirming that person's identity?"

However, Chen En asked in confusion at this point.

"Generally speaking, doesn't this kind of curse spell require the other party's birth date, real name, or other information that can directly identify their specific identity? Can you cast a spell out of thin air and directly perform a curse?"

However, when faced with this question, Koizumi Akako simply let out three villainous laughs.

"Oh hahahahahaha, an amateur is an amateur."

"At this point, you won't be able to answer me with your all-powerful spell, will you? I just need to go to the scene, find that connection, and then directly cast a spell on the person most closely connected to that connection."

"I don't need to know where he is, as long as he's still in Tokyo."

"Trying to pinpoint his exact location would be impossible due to the flaws in red magic and prophecy. Given that he creates magical artifacts, there must be many other magicians around him who use magical artifacts to interfere with prophecy."

Upon hearing this, Chen En nodded in sudden understanding.

As expected, magic is something that defies logic.

He then said.

"Then I need you to come with me on this trip."

"I have reached an agreement with a magician from North America to help me investigate the whereabouts of that magician and the bomb. He is skilled in various prophetic spells and may be able to greatly help you complete your prophetic spell."

"Besides that, I need you to help me see if that guy has set a trap for me."

Chen En had no doubt that the guy would set up some strange and eerie magic traps near the given meeting place.

For example, once you step inside, you will automatically sign some kind of magical contract, and then when Lorenzo is in danger, you will be summoned to take the fall or share the debts of the demons in Hell with Lorenzo.

This guy even cheated the landlady out of her money; his moral standards are among the lowest in this work.

These words made Koizumi Akako raise an eyebrow slightly.

"A magician from North America?"

"You mean that guy in Tokyo who's a conman, swindler, scoundrel, and thief in the magic world? Well, you certainly need to be careful. But those dirty tricks are useless against me, Lady Koizumi Akako!"

"because……"

At this moment, she let out a villainous three-part laugh.

"Because I am the strongest witch in the world! Oh hahahahahahaha!"

Chen En: ?

Your laughter is a bit too loud for my ears.

Did Kaito Kuroba really not tell you about this?

……

Inside the magical stronghold that Lorenzo had reserved in Tokyo.

Having just shaken off the local mages who hadn't fought much, he straightened his collar and returned to his pre-arranged magical outpost, ready to see if his generous employer had arrived inside.

Of course, he did indeed place a few small magical traps near his magical stronghold.

However, that was not directed at Chen En; I swear to God, it was absolutely not.

As a North American magician, he had many enemies along the way, so it was reasonable for him to take precautions and make some preparations. He definitely had no intention of targeting anyone else.

After all, he is a genuinely good person; no one is more like a good person than him.

As soon as Lorenzo arrived at the outer perimeter of the magic stronghold, he noticed that the magic circle here did not seem to have been triggered.

He sighed in disappointment.

"I thought that guy was in such a hurry that he would get there before me."

It seems there's no way to rip that guy off again using this.

However, just as Lorenzo was preparing to enter the magic stronghold with this thought in mind, a voice sounded from behind him.

"You were just thinking of ripping me off with a magic trap, weren't you?"

The voice was deep and hoarse, yet all too familiar.

Lorenzo whirled around, looking as if he'd seen a ghost, and stared incredulously at Batman, who had somehow emerged from the shadows behind him.

"No, where did you come from? How did you bypass my detection magic?"

In order to shake off the magicians' pursuit, he turned all the parameters of his spells to the maximum.

It was normal that he hadn't noticed Batman hiding in the shadows when he was with his landlady because he hadn't used his detection magic beforehand. But it was really strange that he couldn't find this ordinary person who didn't have any magical skills and was just good at stealth.

Upon hearing this, Chen En simply said in a hoarse voice.

"Because, I am Batman!"

Koizumi Akako, hidden in the shadows, observed secretly.

She planned to mark Lorenzo after the transaction between Chen En and Lorenzo was completely finished, since she was also worried about how to maintain good relations with her old friends from the past.

Isn't finding out where this person is the best gift for a meeting?

Anyway, he's not a good person, so selling him won't be a loss!
