Chapter 17 The Hometown That Disappeared from the Map



"Did you know? It seems like there's a lingerie thief in Mihua lately."

Xiaolan looked up in surprise and asked, "Huh? Is that so? I've never heard of it before." A look of doubt appeared on her face.

Yuzuru quickly explained, "I heard it from someone else. Apparently, this underwear thief is a young kid!"

Xiaolan's eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed, "Really? There are such lecherous children?" She simply couldn't imagine how such a child could exist.

Yuzuru smiled and comforted her, "Oh dear, kids these days are more precocious, so Ran, you should be extra careful."

Xiaolan nodded seriously and replied, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for reminding me." Although she was skeptical about the rumor, she decided to be more careful in the future.

Of course there's no such rumor! It's just that Yuzuru is really worried about Conan and needs to add another layer of security. As long as he gets a chance to cause Conan some trouble, Yuzuru says, "Let me handle this; I'll be even more ruthless!"

...

"I'm home! Thank you so much, Nan, for bringing me back."

"The Mouri Detective Agency... I bet Ran, your dad must be a very famous detective."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan gave a slightly embarrassed smile and said softly, "Well... my dad is indeed a detective, but he's not exactly a famous one."

"Ah, I see! I guess my uncle is just being modest and unassuming."

"Haha, maybe!" After hearing what Yu Sheng Nan said, Xiao Lan didn't feel comfortable complaining too much about her always confused father.

However, Yuzuru himself knew very well what kind of person Kogoro Mouri really was.

Despite his seemingly absent-minded demeanor, he instantly transforms into the brilliant police academy student he once was when it comes to his family.

"Nan, why don't you come up and sit for a while? We can have dinner together before you go back."

"No need, I came in a hurry, I couldn't possibly visit empty-handed."

Yuzuru also declined Ran's suggestion at the right time, after all, he understood the principle that too much of a good thing is bad.

Xiaolan said it was fine, why should she bring anything when her friend was visiting? But seeing that Yuzuru Nan was not going up, she could only wave goodbye.

...

Back home, I pushed open the heavy door and stepped into the empty and desolate hall.

Yuzuru couldn't help but sigh, "The house is so big that it's become a burden. It feels so empty. We need some cute young ladies to bring some life to it!"

In fact, before he had sufficient self-defense capabilities, Yuzuru Nan had never considered such a thing. However, after obtaining the Snake Talisman, which guaranteed his personal safety, his mindset gradually underwent a subtle change.

Yuzuru Nanagi, who was preparing to cook dinner for himself, opened the refrigerator and looked at the few ingredients left inside.

Japan is a country located by the sea, so most of its citizens have a special fondness for seafood.

Japanese cuisine is filled with dishes made with seafood, reflecting the saying "those who live near mountains eat from the mountains, and those who live near the sea eat from the sea."

What puzzled Hanyu Nan was that, as a country that is close to the sea, it chose to dump nuclear wastewater into the sea. Was it planning to dig its own grave?

Or what, are they planning to raise a Godzilla to carry them through the air? This kind of baffling way of thinking is truly mind-blowing.

However, Yuzuru Hanyu still prefers the traditional food of his former country and finds it difficult to adapt to Japanese cuisine.

I simply cooked a pot of white rice, then took out the last eggs and tomatoes from the refrigerator and skillfully cooked a delicious tomato and egg stir-fry. In addition, I had some chili peppers and pork, which was just enough to make a spicy and delicious chili pepper and pork stir-fry.

......

After a hearty meal, Yuzuru tidied himself up a bit, then picked up a bottle of beer and headed to the balcony, where he leisurely sat down. He took a sip of the cold beer, his gaze falling on the bright moon in the sky, and his mood inexplicably plummeted.

"The moon of today is not the moon of old, yet the moon of today once shone on the ancients."

Since arriving in the world of Detective Conan, and as his life gradually settled down, Hanyu Nan began to search for news about his homeland.

At that time, he still held a glimmer of hope, longing to return to his hometown one day, for that was where his true roots lay.

But when he saw the map of this world with his own eyes, he was stunned—the land that originally belonged to his homeland was now a blank space on the map, turned into a vast ocean, and his former homeland no longer existed!

I was completely stunned at the time. Only after a thorough investigation and research did I realize that things were not so simple!

Regarding that mysterious blank space, the last remaining records in this world stop at the Warring States period. However, there is no clue or information about what happened there.

However, this world was once filled with spiritual energy, and now, if there is any record of any place, it is probably only the only witch in the Detective Conan world—Koizumi Akako.

Damn it! Even though that old scoundrel Aoyama keeps saying that Detective Conan and Kaito Kid belong to two different worlds, he can still make a soccer ball hit a satellite! You're telling me this is science? That's utter nonsense!

The key factor that truly convinced Hanyu Nan was from the same world was when he happened to catch a glimpse of Koizumi Akako in a news report about Kaito Kid.

It's jumped straight from a detective story to a magic fighting genre! Are you kidding me?!

However, he never actively sought out Koizumi Akako. The reason was simple: Akako's mental state was truly worrying, and until he possessed sufficient power to subdue her, Koizumi Akako was undoubtedly the greatest threat in the Detective Conan world.

However, the situation is different now. Conan has appeared, the plot has begun to develop, and the system has gained spiritual energy support.

Therefore, it's time to put going to inquire about matters related to Koizumi Akako on the agenda.

After finishing the last sip of his beer, he casually tossed the empty can into the trash can next to him.

After a quick wash, I lay down on the bed, planning my schedule for tomorrow as I drifted off to sleep.

...

(Now that we've included Koizumi Akako, I'm wondering if we should include Lupin III as well, since Mine Fujiko is the complete form of Yukiko and Vermouth.)
