Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: Return to Tokyo

🤗 Please if you find any incorrect names let me know in comments so I can fix them 

Tokyo, Professor Agasa's house, 11 PM.

Yuu looked at Haibara, who was still working in front of the computer at this hour, feeling a bit sorry for her. "Haibara, it's already so late. Why aren't you resting? I can handle the rest of the work."

Haibara's eyes remained fixed on the computer screen, her fingers continuously tapping on the keyboard. "Oh, don't you know I'm a night owl? I have no energy during the day; the night is when I'm active."

"Isn't that just like me? Hahahaha!" Seeing that Haibara ignored him after saying that and continued her keyboard work, Yuu could only scratch his head and laugh to cover his awkwardness. Fortunately, the awkwardness didn't last long before Conan's call came in. "Shinichi." Yuu walked into his room and started chatting with Conan.

Seeing Yuu go to answer the phone, Haibara suddenly stopped her typing and looked in the direction Yuu had disappeared. The corner of Haibara's lips curved into an arc. "I didn't expect you to care about me. It seems..." Haibara hummed a song and continued working, as if she had encountered something good.

"Yuu, there's an urgent matter I need you to investigate. I'm currently on a cruise ship to Tokyo with Natsumi Kosaka, the original owner of the egg, and some other people who are interested in the egg. A sniper who specifically shoots the right eye has appeared.

He has already injured Kid the Phantom Thief and killed a photographer on the cruise ship. Of course, Inspector Megure and the others are also here..." Conan's somewhat anxious voice came from the phone. He explained to Yuu everything that had happened since going to Osaka.

"Shooting the right eye? Sniper?" Hearing this, Yuu remembered. When he was a mercenary in Africa, he seemed to have heard of someone who liked to do that. "As far as I know, there's a mercenary named Scorpion who likes to do this kind of thing. He specializes in robbing Romanov Dynasty treasures around the world. After robbing, he shoots people in the right eye and kills them with a gun. He's a low-level character."

"Heh heh, that's for you to say." Conan was speechless about Yuu. "Also, one more thing, I suddenly noticed that Ran's gaze towards me is a bit off. It's not like she's looking at an elementary school student; it's like..."

"It's like she's looking at a lover, right?" Yuu spoke the truth for Conan.

"I don't know why, but Ran seems to suspect my identity." Conan was very puzzled. He was sure he hadn't revealed anything.

Yuu thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about this when you get back. It's not good to discuss over the phone."

"Alright, that's all we can do then."

"..." Yuu stared blankly at his phone. Perhaps it was a side effect of his transmigration, but Yuu's memories of the Conan world were gradually becoming blurred. He could only remember some important characters and some main plotlines.

For example, regarding this incident, he remembered that Conan's identity was almost discovered by Ran. Fortunately, Kid the Phantom Thief came to help, and he narrowly escaped. But Conan's identity was also known to Kid the Phantom Thief. Thankfully, Kid was a friendly guy and hadn't exposed Conan's identity in subsequent events.

"No, I have to go check it out tomorrow. With a Scorpion there, he's a dangerous individual for Shinichi and the others. They might even be in life-threatening danger." Thinking this, Yuu began to prepare his Batman suit. Although Scorpion was nothing to Yuu, it was still better to be safe than sorry. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if he got caught off guard.

The next afternoon.

Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were walking towards Professor Agasa's house, while denouncing Conan, "That Conan, he's so infuriating."

"Honestly, he went to Osaka and didn't even respond."

"He completely forgot he's a member of the Detective Boys." Everyone was very displeased with Conan's secret trip this time.

When they arrived at Professor Agasa's doorstep, they found Yuu and the others were about to leave. Professor Agasa's Beetle car was already parked at the entrance. Haibara stood beside the Beetle with her hands on her hips, shouting at Professor Agasa in dissatisfaction, "Professor! Haven't you found your driver's license yet?"

Professor Agasa kept rummaging through the car, "I remember putting it here!"

Seeing this, Haibara also got into the car to help search. "If you don't hurry, Conan will beat you to it."

Yuu couldn't bear it any longer. "I'll drive. I have a driver's license too."

The trio chuckled mischievously, "Heh heh heh."

Professor Agasa said awkwardly, "I'm getting old, my memory isn't what it used to be. Then you drive, Yuu."

"It seems our car has three new passengers." Haibara said somewhat helplessly.

Professor Agasa looked at Haibara, puzzled, "Huh?"

"Oh, you mean Genta and the other two? I saw them long ago. Anyway, there's room in the car, so let's take them along to broaden their horizons." Yuu, who had started the car, poked his head out and said to Professor Agasa.

Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi appeared from the back of the car, cheering loudly, "Big Brother Yuu is so nice!"

On the other side, in a car heading to the castle in Yokosuka, Sergei asked Mouri, "Mr. Mouri, is Samukawa's ring really Maria's?"

"It has been handed over to Inspector Megure for appraisal." Mouri wasn't sure if the ring belonged to Maria.

Sergei continued, "Maria was the most outstanding of the Emperor's four sisters, with a pair of grey eyes. After the Russian February Revolution, the Emperor's family was shot, but Maria and the Crown Prince's bodies were never found."

Conan was startled by "grey eyes." "Grey? Like Natsumi and Miss Seiran."

After Mouri and his group arrived at the castle, Ran looked at the tall castle before them and couldn't help but say, "What a beautiful castle!"

Shiratori explained to Ran, "It's very similar to Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, which is the prototype for Cinderella's castle."

"Why is it German-style architecture? Wasn't Natsumi's great-grandmother Russian?" Conan didn't understand.

At this moment, Yuu drove up to the Kosaka family's castle. The trio eagerly rushed out of the car.

"Conan!"

"Hello, Conan!"

"How are you?" The trio greeted Conan.

Ran looked at Yuu and his group, surprised. "Yuu and Professor are here too?"

Yuu tidied his clothes. "I got a call from Conan, heard something interesting was happening, so I came to check it out." Yuu immediately recognized Inspector Shiratori as Kid the Phantom Thief in disguise, and subtly winked at Kid, signaling that he had discovered him.

"So I came with Yuu, hahaha." Professor Agasa said, scratching his head and laughing.

"..." Kid slightly nodded. He hadn't expected Yuu to spot him at a glance. "Should I say, as expected of you?"

"Why did you bring them?" Conan asked Yuu, referring to the trio.

"I thought I'd bring them to see the world. After all, opportunities like this don't come often," Yuu explained, looking at Genta and the others.

"It's like a fairy-tale castle!" Ayumi, who longed for fairy tales.

"There must be treasure hidden inside!" Mitsuhiko, who loved adventure.

"How many bowls of eel donburi can I eat?" Genta, whose mind was only on eel donburi, asked after hearing Mitsuhiko.

"Yuu is fine, but you absolutely are not allowed inside!" Mouri sternly told Genta and the others.
