"My colleague Kazuo Tamada suddenly didn't come to work today, and after I contacted his family, I found out that he didn't come home last night either."

"Kazuo is a very serious person, and he usually calls his wife at home in the library when he comes home."

"But he didn't do it last night."

The tanuki spirit glanced at Toru Amamiya with some trembling, continued to tell Kotoko Iwanaga about the situation, and took out a handkerchief from time to time to wipe the cold sweat on his face.

"So, you're worried about what happened to him because of his unusual behavior, right?"

"Yes, so I'd like to entrust the princess and Mr. Amamiya to help me investigate this matter."

The tanuki replied respectfully to the princess's question, expecting her to bring a good answer to herself.

As a god of youkai, Kotoko Iwanaga enjoys the help of youkai while also has her own duties that she must fulfill as a god.

In various myths and legends, different gods always have different responsibilities.

As for Kotoko Iwanaga, his duty is to help different youkai solve their doubts, mediate disputes between them, and deal with all kinds of disturbances caused by the collision between the supernatural world and the technological world, as well as some sudden anomalies.

In short, Kotoko Iwanaga is a character similar to the almighty policeman among the monsters in the world of the supernatural side.

And helping the little monsters solve their doubts, helping them find people, decrypting them, and making decisions are the types of commissions that Kotoko Iwanaga receives most often.

"I already know your request, and I take this commission."

Kotoko Iwanaga nodded at the tanuki, her fingers tapping lightly on the end of her cane.

"Would you like to solve this commission together? Just like before? Archer. ”

Kotoko Iwanaga turned her head slightly and said to Toru Amamiya.

-------------------------------------

Today's rice flower town, the sun is just right.

The white-haired model worker is rushing to work, and the simple driver is driving.

Passers-by are rushing to the scene of one case after another, everyone is busy, and everyone has a bright future.

And our dear Conan-kun is just as busy.

It's just that the busy content is finally a little different from the previous few days.

Witnessing the confrontation between the two men, after Xiaolan very efficiently notified the police to come to the scene, Conan's analysis of the case also reached an impasse for a while.

In the final analysis, the best place for detectives to play their role has always been places like Blizzard Villa, where the murderer can't leave quickly.

Conan struggled to remember that inexplicably familiar back, to remember the mysterious man who was hiding in the shadows with a mask.

But in the end, because there was no murderer and the surrounding area was very barren, the police still very hastily and directly concluded that the main culprit committed suicide in fear of the crime, and ended the investigation into the billion-yen bank robbery after reining in the body of Akemi Miyano.

Even when Conan kept going to the police station and the police officer who took the notes, he really witnessed the confrontation between two men with guns, and that this young lady should have died from homicide rather than suicide in fear of crime.

However, the police still very rashly dismissed this testimony as a "child's joke".

Really, a child's body is really troublesome......

Conan complained for the first time, flipping through the books in front of him.

It's all children's books, and Conan's half-moon eyes are full of tiredness of the current life.

After concluding the investigation into the "Billion Yen Heist", Conan, who has not been entangled in the incident for the time being, finally remembers.

It seems that not long after he became smaller, Dr. Asasa had made a fictitious identity certificate for himself.

After the identification was released, Dr. Asa re-enrolled Conan in elementary school on the grounds that the child needed to fit into the child's life, or it might make the Maori family and possible members of the Black Order suspicious.

After making a few friends who aspired to be detectives in the first grade of elementary school, school began to have a non-stop holiday, and Conan was also wrapped in a large number of cases.

In the end, Conan finally went to school for a long time, and the teacher he hadn't seen for a long time assigned them a task called "Reading Report".

Homework for elementary school students is really troublesome!

"And why are these books so messed up!"

Conan irritably sorted out the books that looked like they hadn't been sorted out in a few days, and trotted to the other side of the bookcase to look for them.

"Eh, it's an original book imported from abroad, and it's been put upside down in the bookcase."

Curious about his profession, Conan picked up a book in a foreign language and looked at it carefully.

"It's wrapped in shrink wrap......"

Conan looked at it a little strangely, but suddenly, a large hand reached out from behind Conan's back and took the strange foreign language book.

"This isn't the book you kids should read."

Director Tsukawa of the Rice Flower Library said to Conan with an amiable face, holding the foreign book in his hand, squinting his eyes.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Conan waved his hand and pretended to be a normal child to apologize, and several children on the side suddenly gathered in front of the window as if they had heard something.

"Conan, it's a patrol car."

Ayumi reminds Conan to come and see the excitement, and the dwarf, unidentified blue creature jumps onto the bench, revealing a head on the windowsill.

Be... Officer Twilight? Conan recognized.

Is something going on in the library?

Conan touched his chin and remembered what was wrong with the library today......

Books that look like they haven't been sorted out are haphazard, books in foreign languages in the children's reading room, and stairs in the lobby on the second floor, where temporary renovation suddenly began for some reason.

In the habit of a detective, Conan quietly observed when he went upstairs.

It looked like something heavy had been slammed into the ground.

When I asked the staff, they said that the chandelier fell when the museum was closed yesterday.

It's weird everywhere...... So what's going on?

Conan pondered for a moment, then decided to go downstairs and listen to the officers' statements.

"I've got to leave beforehand!"

Conan quickly abandoned his friends and rushed to the elevator, but accidentally "coincidentally" bumped into an innocent Toru Amamiya who was passing by.

"Amemiya... Mr? And Miss Iwanaga. ”

Conan rubbed his head, looked up, and was stunned for a moment.

Amamiya, who went out as usual in the classic single ponytail image, greeted the passing Conan familiarly, and standing next to him was Kotoko Iwanaga with a light smile on her face.

"Oh, long time no see, Conan."

Toru Amamiya glanced at the other children behind Conan and tilted his head.

It seems that these children are also a little familiar.

It seems that they are also the supporting characters who appeared in that "Detective Conan"?

Toru Amamiya recalled the comic book cover that he glanced at in a hurry, and compared the two-dimensional and three-dimensional, and barely recognized these children's combinations that were still quite recognizable.

The main character appears alongside the supporting characters...... Are you going to bump into the case again?

Toru Amamiya was a little happy.

The crisp sound of the elevator not far away interrupted Toru Amamiya's thoughts, and also reminded them that they should get on the elevator.

So the group trotted all the way and sat in the elevator before the elevator door closed.

But unfortunately, with a piercing prompt sound, the elevator mercilessly reminded the full warehouse of passengers.

"The number of people seems to be overloaded!"

Conan squinted at the notice posted in the elevator, which indicated that the rated capacity of the elevator was seven, and said helplessly

Motota Kojima very rudely pointed to the people in the elevator and began to count.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine...... It seems to be overloaded, and the number of people who exceed it is a bit much. ”

The lady in the back glanced at the paired children in the elevator, as well as Toru Amamiya and Kotoko Iwanaga, as well as Curator Tsukawa, who was holding a heavy object, and smiled softly.

"Then I'll go outside and wait for the next trip."

The kind lady stood outside the elevator door, but the elevator still indicated that it was overloaded.

"Eight people are also overloaded......"

"Then there's no way, let's take the stairs."

Led by Conan, the group of furious children hurried towards the staircase.

The elevator entrance slowly closed, and Toru Amamiya thought about the small episode before, and his nose moved slightly.

Seemingly...... Today's snack has been decided, Toru Amamiya thought to himself.
