Chapter 931: Not a scientist?
"Help! Monsters are invading Tokyo!!"
The three little ones panicked and felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their throats. They bumped into a hard, cold "wall" covered with scales.
Looking up, they saw a huge frog, almost as tall as a human, wearing a tattered cloak and holding a miniature staff in its paws. It was looking down at them expressionlessly with its huge, calm frog eyes.
Its pale skin glowed wetly in the moonlight.
"Quack? (What happened?)"
"Wow! The frog has become a spirit! It's a frog monster!" The children were so scared that they were scared out of their wits, tears streaming down their faces. They turned around and wanted to run in another direction.
When I turned around, I was met with a pair of sharp bird eyes.
A huge vulture with dull feathers but extremely sharp and cold eyes was standing silently on the dead branch behind them, with its head tilted, looking at the group of noisy human cubs with a look as if to ask "Has the takeaway arrived?"
There is a tiger in front, a frog on the side, and an eagle behind.
The three little ones completely collapsed, their psychological defenses completely broken down, and they burst into tears, crying so hard and heartbreakingly: "Help! There are monsters! So many monsters! Where is Kamen Rider? Wuuwuwu..."
The shrill cries instantly broke the silence of the martial arts hall.
"what sound?!"
"It's the children!"
"Kid did it?! He actually attacked a child! Despicable!"
The adults in the museum and the police officers left outside were all alarmed, thinking that Kaito Kid had carried out a terrorist attack, and rushed out with flashlights, explosion-proof shields and even batons.
Officer Nakamori took the lead, full of vigor and momentum: "Kid! Are you finally showing your fangs? Are you ready to... uh?"
More than a dozen flashlight beams swayed wildly in the courtyard like searchlights, and finally all stopped at three children who were crying so hard that snot bubbles came out of their noses, and the three animals in front of them with different shapes and strange styles...?
A tiger that looks like it hasn't woken up yet and has a confused expression, a frog wearing a cloak and leaning on a stick, as if it has walked into the wrong set, and a vulture standing on a tree, slowly combing its feathers.
"W-What's going on?" Maori Kogoro's jaw nearly dropped. "Kid's new magic? A large animal migration? Or is this the zoo closing down and liquidating its stock?"
Officer Nakamori was also confused, and his words got stuck mid-sentence into the intercom: "Attention, teams! The target is... the target is... what the hell is this target?!"
The scene was once extremely chaotic and filled with confusion.
Only then did Hanyu Kusunoki and Shimabukuro Kimie slowly walk out of the hall, as if they were just taking a stroll after dinner and wanted to watch the confusing human behavior.
"Kagetora! Shonosuke! Gerozaemon!" Minarelia's anxious voice rang out. She quickly ran to the courtyard and shouted to the three animals, "How many times have I told you not to scare the guests? Come back now!"
Surprisingly, the tiger whimpered like a big cat and lowered its head in frustration. The frog politely adjusted its nonexistent hat, and the vulture obediently flew down from the tree and landed next to Feng Leilia.
The old lady and Feng Shizuka also rushed over and apologized repeatedly.
"Sorry, sorry," the old lady explained to everyone with an apologetic look on her face, "They are not monsters. They are our family's... um... heirloom pets, the rather special kind."
"Pets?!" Maori Kogoro's voice changed. "Who keeps tigers, frogs, and vultures as pets?"
Feng Shizuka smiled sheepishly, "Actually... our ancestors of the Feng and Tiejian families once made contracts with some... well, rather special creatures. They are our family's guardian beasts, passed down from generation to generation. They are very gentle and never hurt anyone."
——Although it looks a bit scary.
Tiejian also scratched his head and walked over, chuckling, "Kagetora usually likes to sleep and snore in the bushes, Shonosuke likes to cosplay as philosophers, and Grozaemon likes to stay high up and think about the lives of birds... They must have come here out of curiosity because the children are so lively and cute. They definitely don't mean any harm!"
Conan looked at the frog Shonosuke, who was wearing a cloak and even trying to use his flippers to take out a pocket watch from his pocket. The corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "This is beyond the scope of 'docile pet'..."
This style of painting is simply an NPC that only appears in the novice village of a fantasy RPG!
Tigers, frogs, vultures... all live in peace in the same room.
Conan's brows suddenly furrowed, and the divination of the mysterious woman during the day suddenly popped into his mind.
Could this be the place the other party is talking about?
But...it's not scientific!
Not scientific at all!
How could they possibly have known he'd be here? It couldn't have been divined, could it? Then why do we even need detectives? Shouldn't we just use a crystal ball to solve cases in the future?
The great detective's materialistic worldview suffered an unprecedented impact. For a moment he was in a trance and began to doubt whether he had not woken up yet.
Hanyu Kusunoki was watching with great interest from the side.
The ancestors of the Feng and Tie families did have some connections with the magical world, and they were considered declining magical families.
With the passage of time, the true inheritance of cultivation has long been cut off. All that remains are some magic props that sometimes work and sometimes don't, which no one wants even at the flea market, as well as these family beasts that have long lifespans due to ancient contractual relationships and are more spiritual than ordinary animals.
And Koizumi Hongzi's target this time is probably one of the few usable magic potions in the Feng family's collection.
That bottle of potion that can shrink an iron sword is probably just an old item found in some corner.
Miss Witch wants to come here to "replenish inventory".
Hanyu Kusunoki's gaze swept across an inconspicuous corner in the shadow of the courtyard, where an extremely weak magical fluctuation seemed to flash by.
The smile on his lips deepened.
It seems the fun has just begun.
..........
When they found out it wasn't Kaito Kidd, everyone was happy for nothing.
"What the hell! It turned out to be a false alarm!" Officer Nakamori put away his flashlight in frustration and shouted into the intercom, "Attention, all teams! Attention, all teams! All clear! It was a misunderstanding! Stay alert! Over!"
The police looked at each other and returned to their respective posts.
"Really..." Maori Kogoro rubbed his throbbing temple, looking depressed and weak. "I got so excited for nothing. I thought I could get off work early... No, I wanted to catch that pretentious thief as soon as possible."
He turned and walked into the hall, muttering, "Iron Sword's father is still waiting for me inside. I just finished half of that bottle of premium 'Kendo' sake, and he's in high spirits..."
