Chapter 16: Betting on Grandpa's Name!



"It's always your fault, so stop blaming others, Hajime-chan!"

……What?

Upon hearing the last term, Toyama Yoru's hand trembled, and she almost spilled half a cup of coffee on her leg.

He had no choice but to put down his coffee cup and look in the direction of the boy again.

Indeed, although even her mother probably wouldn't recognize that face, the messy hair tied in a small braid was exactly the same as "that person" in her memory.

The long-haired girl next to her certainly has a figure that's something to be proud of among her peers.

The problem is, isn't this wrong? ...

Where is the Conan world we were promised? ...

As Yoruichi Toyama descended into chaos, Boss Mao had already walked over with two drinks.

"Here you go, here's what you ordered."

"I think Nanase is right, this time it's your fault."

"If you're going to do bad things, you have to be prepared to get caught and punished, Kindaichi!"

Okay then.

Yoruichi Toyama felt completely at ease.

...

Kindaichi, whose full name is Kindaichi.

However, the "一" in his name is not pronounced "ichi" like in Shinichi Kudo, but rather "hajime".

Anyway, only the person who is Japanese knows how to pronounce the name "Neon".

Just like the surname of Boss Mao, it can be pronounced as "mo" in Chinese, but he says his surname is "shigeru", so you have to pronounce it "shigeru" like him.

Let's go back to Kindaichi Hajime. He is the protagonist of another mystery manga that is as famous as Detective Conan, Kindaichi Case Files.

Because of his tendency to die wherever he goes, he is known by readers as one of the "Tokyo Duo," along with Conan, the two great death gods.

The problem is, these two people have no connection whatsoever!

“So, Kotaro-kun,” Yoruichi Toyama finally grabbed Taro by the neck and asked, after holding back until they returned to her room that evening, “how many more things have you been hiding from me?”

How did Kindaichi end up in the world of Detective Conan?

"Or have these two worlds already merged?"

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be Fudoyama City in Detective Conan!"

Yoruichi Toyama, who had always felt that the place name sounded familiar, suddenly remembered that this was the place where Kindaichi lived!

"No wonder you never told me what the second blind box was..."

[Cough... You, you let go first...]

The black cat struggled desperately, and only after Yoruichi Toyama put it on the bed did it gasp for breath.

"Well, this isn't my fault, is it? I'm just a transmigrated elf; I don't have the authority to control the world..."

[When you transmigrated, wasn't it during a system upgrade? You weren't reviewed or even entered the transit station, were you?]

This is the upgraded world.

Yoruichi Toyama stared wide-eyed at this.

"What does this mean? You upgraded, and ended up merging the world?"

"You might as well say it's a server merge!"

The black cat meowed in considerable displeasure.

[How can you talk like that? The two-dimensional world is still a world, not a virtual reality game!]

"Then tell me, how did these two worlds merge? One Grim Reaper in Tokyo isn't enough for you, is it?"

To be fair, Kindaichi's destructive power is not as great as Conan's, and most of the murder cases related to him are the "locked room mystery" type.

Yoruichi Toyama couldn't possibly be so reckless as to go and settle for him.

The problem is, this guy is a jinx to the people around him!

Owl Cafe is still a place he frequents.

Even if the curse doesn't affect Yoruichi Toyama, but it kills Boss Mao, who will pay the rent?

How could Yoruichi Toyama, the landlord, possibly survive like this?

[I can't explain this. I'm a time-traveling spirit, not responsible for integrating worlds.]

Just like when he initially forced Yoruichi Toyama to do a mission, Taro simply sprawled out on the bed with his limbs spread out and started acting like a rogue.

Seeing that Yoruichi Toyama was speechless, she kindly offered a suggestion:

Since you're only staying here temporarily to avoid trouble, can't you at least avoid anything related to him?

As he said this, with his hair still shaved bald by the owl Pengzhisuke, Taro suddenly gave off a bit of a nagging old man vibe.

Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but burst out laughing and reached out to stroke his bald head.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

...

Contrary to Yoruichi Toyama's expectations, Mr. Mao showed no intention of delaying the rent payment and paid six months' rent in one lump sum the day after they met.

For commercial stores, this is a considerable sum of money.

Judging from the daily business situation of his shop, it doesn't seem like he can afford it at all.

Therefore, Yoruichi Toyama can only be explained as the man being quite wealthy to begin with, and opening the shop was merely a hobby.

Since Shigeru is the only person Yoruichi Toyama knows in Fudoyama City, she often spends her time at coffee shops when she's bored.

They even brought a cat.

Ever since their first encounter ended in a draw, Taro has become addicted to flirting with Peng Zhisuke at the coffee shop, and has repeatedly pestered Toyama Yoruichi to take him there.

What do you mean by mutual destruction? That's called a close contest, a worthy opponent!

And he even corrected Yoruichi Toyama's choice of words like that.

Then every time they went there, the shop would be covered in cat and bird hair, and Yoruichi Toyama and Boss Shigeru would each have a broom to clean up after them.

Only Akemi Miyano, in order to avoid being noticed, has always lived a secluded life.

The days passed peacefully for a few days.

One Saturday, Yoruichi Toyama, who was bringing Taro to the coffee shop for a friendly match as usual, saw the famous detective's grandson again.

Kindaichi Kosuke, the famous detective of the Taisho era created by the renowned mystery writer Seishi Yokomizo, is a fictional character, but he was a real person in the world of the young Kindaichi.
