Chapter 7 The old man, but a great swordsman



Helping the old man cross the street is one thing, since you used to be a policeman! But you should still try your best with that old gentleman and the Mihana Art Museum...

"Wait a minute!" Yoruichi Toyama grabbed the cat's head with one hand, stopping Taro's incessant chatter.

"The Mihara Art Museum, Director Ochiai... I think I vaguely remember him..."

"That old man just now... was he a murderer?!"

Yoruichi Toyama was stunned into silence.

For a moment, he even suspected that the box he had helped Mr. Ochiai drag was actually a corpse.

Upon further reflection, it seems that the case at the art museum was solved by Conan before anyone had a chance to leave after the murder.

Therefore, Mr. Ochiai is still able to move around freely...

"Did I run into a character from a storyline again, before the murder occurred?"

The Conan comic book that Toyama Yoichi watched was one he secretly read with his deskmate more than ten years ago.

I've also watched the animated version, including the seven or eight early theatrical films, and I still have some impression of them.

After that, it was mostly hearsay.

So, while I can still recall the case involving the art museum, I never even considered that possibility when I bumped into the kind-looking Director Ochiai on the street.

However, this seemingly kind old man was wearing dozens of kilograms of steel armor and wielding a greatsword when he pierced the throat of the man who bought the art museum.

Even the greatest swordsmen of the Warring States period were no less formidable.

Yoruichi Toyama never understood the need for force to be allocated on demand in the Conan world, but there was nothing she could do about it.

That's why I asked Taro for the highest level of combat power to save my life.

That being said, while he wanted to keep a low profile and return to the real world after completing the mission, he sometimes couldn't help but lend a hand when he saw what was happening.

Just like this old gentleman, Mr. Ochiai.

Since it was just a chance encounter and there was no conflict of interest, Yoruichi Toyama felt that the old gentleman was actually quite easygoing.

Moreover, he must have been influenced by art for many years, as his speech naturally exudes an elegant air.

Who would have thought he would become so obsessive about art museums!

"Hey, Kotaro-kun," Yoruichi Toyama nudged the cat perched on his shoulder, "um, about the original plot..."

"As long as it doesn't affect my ability to complete the mission, I should be able to change the storyline, right?"

I remember that some old time-travel novels had a rule that the time traveler could not affect the plot, otherwise they would be eliminated.

However, Taro also said that these two-dimensional worlds were not created by his "system" and he shouldn't be able to control such a wide area.

Not to mention killing customers, what kind of idiot would do that?

Haven't you changed enough plot points already? ...

Taro made a blunt remark.

Upon closer reflection, it's like a roller coaster, getting Gin into jail for a one-night stand.

A wealthy heiress was kidnapped, but before Xiao Lanmei could even rescue her, she was knocked out by the kidnappers.

Yoko Okino's apartment murder case disrupted the otaku's plans right from the break-in stage, turning it into a melodramatic soap opera.

Okay, so the system does offer a lot of freedom.

"Then why won't you let me go?"

Although Ochiai is a hidden master swordsman, Yoruichi Toyama can now cleave bullets with her bare hands!

As long as you don't directly confront Conan, who has a round object at your feet, you should be safe.

As for the protagonist who could kick the satellite's return capsule back into space, well, he has Conan's knowledge, so we can't compare.

As Yoruichi Toyama was happily lost in his own thoughts, the black cat jumped off his shoulder and stood opposite him with a serious expression.

Don't forget your mission...

Actually, although you and Conan have different goals, you could say you're heading towards the same destination by different paths.

[Conan stays by Kogoro Mouri's side in order to get involved in more cases and gradually get closer to the Black Organization.]

Only as this main storyline progresses will your romanceable characters appear and come into contact with Conan.

[You've nipped all of Conan's cases in the bud, how is Uncle Mori supposed to become famous?]

[Without "Sleeping Kogoro," why would Amuro Tooru be working at Poirot's Cafe?...]

Never having imagined that the distance was so great, Toyama Yoruichi was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

The black cat gave him a serious look.

That's why I said you'd better just shut up.
