Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

"Then why did you save me? What do you want me to do?" Koizumi Akako asked, frowning.

Just after she asked that question, she saw Qi Ming's eyes light up.

"What does that look mean?"

Koizumi Akako took a few steps back uncomfortably, and pulled the blanket covering her tighter around herself with a wary look.

Qi Ming took a few steps forward, smiling as he rubbed his hands together.

"I want to learn magic!"

"??"

As if she had heard some kind of ridiculous question, Koizumi Akako replied with some confusion.

"Aren't you a magician?"

"No, I'm a Muggle, a normal person."

"..."

Koizumi Akako took a deep breath.

Haha, redefining the ordinary person, huh?

Ordinary people can drive flying cars and fire bullets, or casually swing a knife and destroy shops with a burst of blade energy, right?

Koizumi Akako suddenly remembered.

Qi Ming's behavior seemed to be very similar to the information recorded in her family's ancestral home.

Legend has it that besides orthodox magic schools like her, there are many freelancers with magical talent in the world.

Among them, there is a particularly special group: mad mages.

Because their magic was too powerful, but they lacked proper guidance, the powerful magic would constantly erode their minds, making them act crazy all day long.

Qi Ming is probably just that kind of crazy mage, which explains why he dared to act recklessly in front of everyone in the secular world.

This person is hitting himself one minute and saving himself the next; his mental state is truly worrying.

Qi Ming, seeing that Koizumi Akako hadn't said anything for a long time, shook his head helplessly.

"It's okay if you don't want to teach me, it's fine."

As Qi Ming said this, he went to the door and stacked the security door blocks that had been removed from the casino last time to block the door.

Finally, he walked to the window and drew the curtains, staring at Koizumi Akako with a kind expression.

"Let's go, it's alright, the door is over there, and I'm not an unreasonable person."

"..."

You've blocked all the doors, where am I supposed to run to?

Koizumi Akako secretly made her own plans.

I'm currently in a bind, so I'd better go along with this man for now to avoid him doing anything impulsive.

“I would like to teach you, but our Red Magic lineage has always passed it down to women, not men.”

"However, I do have some clues about other schools of magic at home. I can go back and get them for you if you'd like."

Other schools of magic?

Qi Ming shook his head.

After all, the system has already informed us that among the currently released DLC characters, only Koizumi Akako possesses magic.

The information about Koizumi Akako's family might be real, but if I were to actually see it, I'd have to wait for the latest updates to this garbage game.

"It's just a woman, it's not like I can't handle it."

Qi Ming performed a traditional face-pinching act in public, during which a holy light appeared.

When the holy light faded, Qi Ming had already transformed into a woman.

Koizumi Akako stared blankly at the brand-new Qi Ming, then waved her hand helplessly.

"It's about the physiological structure; everything must be female. It's not just about simple disguise."

"Who told you I was disguising myself?"

Qi Ming smiled, and then his clothes turned into faint specks of light and dissipated.

Koizumi Akako's pupils contracted slightly as she looked at the scene before her.

Then, she let out what was probably the sharpest high note of her life so far.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

……

The passageway outside the room.

Kaito Kuroba, who had been secretly following the two, shuddered and became anxious, wanting to take action.

But he had only taken half a step when a strong hand pressed down hard on his shoulder from behind.

"Don't get so agitated, going in now might cause trouble."

"...If we don't go in now, that'll be the real problem!"

Standing behind Kaito Kuroba is Akako Koizumi's butler.

"Uncle, isn't she your young lady? That sound just now was clearly abnormal, there's danger!"

Kaito Kuroba tried to break free from the butler's merciless iron grip, but the grip was indeed very strong, and he couldn't shake it off.

What's even more bizarre is that the butler held a crystal ball in his other hand, his expression indifferent, as if the person inside had nothing to do with him.

“I have already divined that the young lady is safe and sound. If we go in now, it is unlikely that she will be safe.”

"But……"

"Believe me."

The butler released his grip, and Kaito Kuroba, no longer acting impulsively, slumped down in frustration.

He had been following Qi Ming and Koizumi Akako the whole time, so he knew how dangerous and unpredictable this man was.

Now that we've left Koizumi Akako alone with Qi Ming, who knows what that madwoman will do?

But now that the housekeeper has said so, we can only believe that his so-called divination might be more reliable.

After calming himself down, Kaito Kuroba raised his head and looked at a corner in the corridor ahead with a somewhat helpless expression.

Around the corner, small heads, ranging from short to tall, peeked out in an orderly fashion, seemingly observing the room where Qi Ming and Koizumi Akako were, just like the others.

Why is there a little devil here? Is he here for that man?

……

After about 20 minutes of anxious waiting, the door to the room where Koizumi Akako and Qi Ming were located opened.

Kaito Kuroba and the little heads over there all shrank back at the same time.

Then, Qi Ming, who had returned to his original form, walked out of the room.

"Teacher Xiaohong, I'll leave the skill book to you now. I'll be going now."

"Yomiuri TV contacted me, bye!"

Qi Ming turned around and greeted Koizumi Akako before walking downstairs with light steps.

As Qi Ming's footsteps faded away, Kuroba Kaito and the butler quickly entered the room.

Seeing this, several petite figures hiding opposite them also emerged from around the corner and followed Qi Ming's route downstairs.

……

"Young Miss, are you alright?"

"How are you, Miss?"

inside the room.

Kaito Kuroba and the butler entered one after the other, and looked at Akako Koizumi sitting on the edge of the bed and asked hurriedly.

"It's nothing serious, and if that person really wanted to do something to me, I doubt anyone could stop him."

Koizumi Akako glanced at the two of them indifferently and stretched lazily.

However, somewhat strangely, a faint blush appeared on the girl's cheeks.

The butler naturally noticed his young mistress's unusual behavior, but he didn't say anything.

Kaito Kuroba noticed it too, but he simply took it as a natural reaction from the young lady who relaxed upon seeing the tension between the two of them.

"I never expected that Miss Koizumi Akako would suffer such a great loss. I've never seen you so disheveled before."

Kaito Kuroba tried to ease the tension by chuckling with his hands behind his back, but all he got in return was a glare from Akako Koizumi.

Koizumi Akako replied irritably:

"Yeah, I knew I shouldn't have come. Although I'm interested, I'm actually more curious about what kind of bloodshed you'll encounter when you meet him in the future."
