In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 59: I Want to Make the Billboards Green

Akutagawa Hiko only learned about the case from Conan the next day.

Looking back, no one died in this episode, the kidnapping was fake, the incident stemmed from a misunderstanding, and it ended with a rare happy ending.

During a soccer training session, Akagi Hideo accidentally broke his friend Uemura Naoki's leg, causing him to need a considerable amount of time to recover.

Naoki Uemura is an awkward guy. Although the outside world has always called them geniuses, he feels that he needs to put in several times the effort just to barely keep up.

Only recently has he gained the confidence to keep pace with, or even surpass, his friend Hideo Akagi.

At this particular moment, an unexpected incident occurred. Naoki Uemura assumed that Hideo Akagi was narrow-minded and couldn't stand seeing him overtake him with his black foot.

In the eyes of this man, who had always felt inferior to his friend, the sudden drop in training meant he would probably never be able to surpass that true genius again.

Logically speaking, this level of misunderstanding would be enough to cause a tragedy in the world of Detective Conan.

However, Naoki Uemura was only coaxing Mamoru Akagi, Hideo Akagi's younger brother, to come to his house to play, and then faking a kidnapping to threaten him into losing the match.

Although it was unfair to his teammates in the Tokyo team, it didn't involve any deaths, so this kind of revenge wasn't considered serious in the world of Detective Conan.

The door that Xiaolan kicked open finally hit him, but it didn't affect the outcome of the game, so it could be considered a small punishment.

On television, when Hideo Akagi gave his victory speech, he not only dedicated the victory to Naoki Uemura, who was unable to attend, but also urged him to recover quickly so that they could fight side by side on the court.

Naoki Uemura was moved to tears, partly because she felt ashamed of her unfounded speculations and actions, and partly because she was touched.

It wasn't a one-sided pursuit, but rather a mutual regard formidable rivalry...

Akutagawa recalled that when he watched this episode before, he didn't think much about it at all; he simply watched the whole episode without any fear, which was quite rare for him.

Looking back now, it's definitely full of bromance.

Conan, oblivious to Akutagawa's thoughts, stood in a perfect horse stance and continued his tirade: "Ran was absolutely terrifying yesterday..."

Akagi Ryoko really got him into trouble. It was only thanks to the doctor's help, and the person who made the request, who took the initiative to explain, that the misunderstanding was cleared up.

If Ran mistakenly believes that Shinichi Kudo is actually a lecherous scumbag who seduces and abandons others, Conan would be dead.

He admitted to being a womanizer, but said that anything beyond that was absolutely impossible.

That damned Black Organization!!

If Shinichi Kudo could appear openly and honestly, this misunderstanding would never have happened.

After cursing the Black Organization in his mind every day, Conan felt much better, and his legs didn't tremble as much.

While listening quietly, Akutagawa Hiko's mind wandered.

This case ended happily ever after, without even the police being called, so it's not a big deal to miss it. But if it were a serial murder case that could increase media exposure, it would be a shame to miss it.

Why did Ryo Akagi choose to find Shinichi Kudo, who had been missing for some time, instead of looking for the newly minted famous detective?

The fame is there, but there's no stable way to contact them.

The Akutagawa Detective Agency is only known within a small circle, and his fame is relatively recent, so even if you wanted to find him, it would probably be quite difficult.

Or, how about buying a GG spot?

Akutagawa thought of the foot massage parlor that had closed down right after the blind massage parlor. There was a sizable VIP spot next to it, and renting it would definitely make it very eye-catching.

However, before doing this, you might want to ask for the advice of a genius. Having plenty of money doesn't mean you have to be a nag.

"What do you think about me buying the prime spot next to the office?"

Conan blinked, clearly a little unaccustomed to the rapid shift in the topic. Recalling the location of Akutagawa Hiko's agency, he nodded and said, "Good idea. Your agency is located in a very remote area, making it difficult to attract clients."

Akutagawa Hiko said with satisfaction, "I think so too."

It's said that good wine needs no bush, but in reality, the wine itself has to come out to attract customers; the aroma of the wine is what makes the wine so appealing.

After assigning Conan his training tasks for the day, Akutagawa Hiko began working on the project, and soon obtained the design drawings.

The entire design features a black background with gold patterns, and the use of a cursive script that Akutagawa Hiko couldn't identify creates a unique and flamboyant effect.

They truly deserve the title of "professional".

For a GG (good quality product), it mainly needs to meet two elements: be eye-catching and leave a lasting impression.

After looking at the artistically beautiful design, Conan couldn't help but admire Akutagawa Hiko's efficiency; he had obtained the design so quickly, and the quality was so high.

"I want to change this thing to green..."

Upon hearing this, Conan's big eyes instantly shrank to tiny beads: "Wh...what?"

Akutagawa patiently repeated himself, pointing to the black background: "This, this background, I want to change it to green."

Conan: (°ー°〃)

Ultimately, after Conan's reasoned arguments, Akutagawa Hiko abandoned the idea.

Changing it to green would certainly be eye-catching, but it's not very aesthetically pleasing unless it's redesigned.

Seeing that Akutagawa Hiko had given up on the idea, Conan breathed a huge sigh of relief. At least Akutagawa, the client, hadn't ruined the other party's hard work.

However, good intentions don't always bring good results. Not long after Akutagawa entered the house, he came out with a cup of dark, bubbling, unidentified liquid.

Conan stared at the beer mug in front of him, swallowing hard. "You're not trying to make me drink this stuff, are you?!"

Akutagawa Hiko revealed a sinister smile that sent a chill down Conan's spine: "That's right, inside is the poison that will prevent you from leaving this room. Will you drink it yourself, or shall I force-feed it to you, hmm?"

Conan closed his eyes, pinched his nose, and gulped down the entire cup of the secret medicine.

I originally thought it would be hard to drink, but the taste was actually acceptable. The texture was somewhat like overly thick black sesame paste, slightly bitter, but with a sweet aftertaste.

Not long after drinking it, Conan felt warm all over, and his depleted energy was almost fully restored.

"This thing must be very expensive..."

Akutagawa Hiko shrugged nonchalantly: "I sent the bill to your parents, and they happily transferred the money to me."

Akutagawa Hiko exchanged for more than one kind of secret medicine formula: some restored chakra, some restored stamina, some activated a special power boost, some healed wounds...

The drink Conan drinks not only restores his physical strength but also nourishes his body. It has a particularly noticeable effect on Conan, who is not used to exercising.
