Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

After learning magic from Hongzi, Conan returned to his daily life. Well, it was a daily routine of going out and seeing people die.

However, after learning magic, he discovered that these daily things that were not ordinary at all for ordinary people actually brought him some unexpected surprises.

"This feeling, wow, why didn't I hear Hongzi say that this can also increase magic power!"

Looking at the unfortunate man dying before him, Conan felt the magic power in his body. It was indeed a little stronger than before. Although it was not much, in this era, even such a small amount of magic power would require him to refine for several days.

Moreover, after he gave Maori tips as usual and helped him successfully solve the case, he was surprised to find that the magic power in his body had increased by an imperceptible amount compared to before.

"Hmm, so a death can increase magic power, and solving a case can also increase magic power? What's going on? I'll ask Hongzi later."

Conan thought to himself, feeling the magic power in his body that had increased after solving the case in the past few days, which was even more than what he had refined himself.

"Great Detective, are you okay? Why do you seem a little strange these past few days? Or is this related to that magic you mentioned?"

On the side, Xiao Ai noticed Conan's changing expression and asked curiously.

She had seen this kind of case countless times since she came to the office, and Conan had never had any special reaction to this kind of case before.

However, after he said that he was going to study magic, his expression would change subtly every time he encountered a case, which puzzled her.

"Could it be that the liar is to blame?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai's sensitivity towards Hongzi, whom she had never met before, also decreased a little.

That's right. To her, the so-called witch whose name she had only heard of was nothing more than a fraud! It was such a different era, how could magic even exist? She was a staunch materialist, a doctor!

As for Conan showing his magic in front of her, Conan said that it would be better for him not to show his magic in the real world.

Who made him have such a strange physique that whenever he casts magic, some living creature will suffer?

As for the display in the mental space, Xiao Ai said that in the mental space, let alone magic, she can even rub the Gundam with her hands!

In addition, although Hongzi agreed to join his small group and help him deal with the threat of the organization, for her own reasons, she still lives in Jianggutian. Xiao Ai, who has never seen Hongzi, naturally thinks that the so-called magic is all a lie.

Who made her never see Conan use magic?

"Well, that's probably the reason. Every time I encounter a case recently, I feel that the magic power in my body has increased to a certain extent, even more than what I have gained through gradual training."

Conan did not hide it and expressed his feelings.

"That's it!"

'It really is that liar's fault. I will definitely expose her true identity next time!

And this great detective is really something. He is obviously a detective, but he actually believes in such unscientific things? He is really too young. I don’t know what tricks the liar used to deceive him.

As Xiao Ai spoke, she complained in her heart.

Similarly, Xiaolan also noticed Conan's recent abnormality. Therefore, when no one was around, she squatted in front of Conan and asked the same question.

But when she heard Conan say that her magic power had improved, she looked at him with admiration.

"As expected of you, Shinichi! So, if I encounter a ghost next time, can you destroy it with a single spell?"

Well, Ran's attitude towards magic is completely different from Ai's. Ai is thinking about how to expose Hongzi's "disguise", while Ran is thinking about whether she will no longer have to be afraid of ghosts in the future.

Although after hearing Conan say that he had learned magic, she was scared for several days because "ghosts really exist in the world."

During those days, every night, Xiaolan would appear at the door of Conan and his friends' room, hugging a pillow and pretending to be strong. She said she was afraid of ghosts.

As for the actual situation, those who understand will understand.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After Conan told her that ghosts were not easily born in this world due to lack of magic power, and that she had never seen a ghost in her life, Xiaolan returned to her room in fear.

Otherwise, Conan and Ai, who suffocate several times every night, are really worried that they will be suffocated to death one night.

......

"So, your magic power increases every time you encounter a case recently? And it also increases after the case is solved?"

On the other end of the phone, after hearing Conan's description, Hongzi's face showed a hint of confusion. No, how could she never have heard that solving crimes could also increase magic power!

"Yeah, that's why I wanted to ask you what's going on."

Feeling the magic power in his body, Conan had a look of confusion on his face.

Although he was happy about the free magic power, he wondered why the magic power only increased after someone died! This made him feel a little strange. It was as if the increase in his magic power was due to absorbing the soul of the deceased.

"I've never heard of anything like this before! How about this? I'll go to your place to check out the situation and get to know the other people in the team you mentioned."

Hongzi was also confused. She had never heard of what happened to Conan. Even the necromancers who controlled the aura of death didn't have this ability!

If the souls of the dead could increase their magical power, then why would there be such a restriction as the Dharma Ending Age? Wouldn't it be possible to instantly increase a magician's magical power by simply finding a hospital or a slaughterhouse?

Therefore, with doubts, she decided to come here in person to see why Conan's magic power increased.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at Rice Flower."

When Conan heard Hongzi say that she was going to come over, he didn't refuse.

Although he didn't really want Xiaolan to see that he told her that the teacher who taught him magic was a beautiful woman about her age, it was more important to determine the source of the magic power than to worry about Xiaolan's jealousy.

He is not a pervert who enjoys devouring human souls.

"Well, I'll take a day off and go there tomorrow."

However, what they didn't expect was that Conan had to temporarily leave Mika tonight due to a special incident. Hongzi asked for leave to come here, but in the end, she was disappointed.
