Such a convenient item, it's naturally the best choice for Miyano Akemi to use.
In this way, the risk of her exposure would be greatly reduced, and her daily life would also become much easier, considering that she would have to live in disguise for a long time.
As for Senichi, he wouldn't need it in his usual circumstances. He is a police officer, not a thief. If he needs to use a disguise temporarily, his disguise skills would suffice. At worst, he could always retrieve the disguise later.
In fact, if it weren't for planning this rescue mission for Miyano Akemi, although Senichi admired the art of disguise, he wouldn't have been willing to spend the recent bonus skill points on disguise.
Although it was cool, there weren't many occasions to use it.
Afterward, Senichi set the mask to a half-coverage style, disabled the instant face-swapping function, and set the mask to resemble Narumi's appearance by about seventy to eighty percent.
As for the gesture to remove the mask, he set it to rubbing the temples in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction three times.
After setting everything, Senichi nodded in satisfaction. He just needed to find the right time to give it to her.
It wasn't too surprising for Senichi to receive this reward since one of the rewards was generated based on his actions.
Disguise techniques were an essential part of his plan, so receiving the related rewards was normal.
Plans might change, and Senichi had initially planned to manually create a disguise mask later, but now he didn't need to anymore.
Afterward, Senichi checked another high-tech item.
[H.X - Detective Attire: A multi-functional weapon made with future nanomolecular technology, convenient to carry, and an essential item for daily life.
Forms: Umbrella, cane, sword.
Note: Rainproof, bulletproof, sunproof, weapon, parachuting, all-in-one~]
After reading the detailed description of this weapon, Senichi couldn't help but get excited. This would be his main weapon, the standard equipment for himself.
When taken out, it appeared as a cylindrical stick slightly longer than the palm of his hand, which was its portable form.
However, this form was mostly for dealing with people's attention. it's quite concealed and could be kept without raising suspicion.
The next form was the cane.
There was a button embedded in the handle, pressing it would transform the cane into a seamless cane without any visible joints.
Although it was called a cane, it was more like a straight stick that gradually tapered from the handle, entirely black with only the bottom and handle being silver.
Pressing the button next to it, the cane split open with countless cracks, and a black umbrella fabric emerged from it, turning it into a windproof, rainproof, bulletproof and sunproof umbrella.
Although the umbrella ribs were very thin, according to the description, they were made of extremely strong material, ensuring that it maintained its shape during high-altitude jumps, without the risk of the umbrella flipping and causing casualties.
The final form was the sword. Whether in umbrella or cane form, it could transform into a sharp sword.
The long sword was slightly shorter than the cane, and Senichi noticed that the missing length was about half the size of the sharpest bottom of the cane and the umbrella's tail end, approximately the length of a finger.
Just like the note mentioned, this item was truly multi-functional.
Let's not mention the sword. Although it belonged to a portable weapon category and had a narrower blade compared to a regular sword, the material was still remarkable. Despite the slender and long blade, it was definitely sturdy and sharp enough.
The cane could be... cough, used by a refined person or as a self-defense weapon. Moreover, as mentioned before, when a gentleman had a cane, the chances of intervening when a lady encountered trouble would increase.
All in all, in the present situation, this was a form that Senichi would frequently use in the future.
After all, in this day and age, Senichi couldn't just go around attacking anyone he met. In the cane form, it could be used as a long knife with a sheath.
Lastly, worth mentioning is the umbrella form. With this, Senichi no longer had to fear falling from a great height. He could simply open the umbrella and descend gracefully from the sky, just like Boss Sakamoto (Anime: Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto).
On the other hand, it's bulletproof!!
This was indeed a very practical feature. Furthermore, the umbrella form had a secondary form, which was to enlarge the ordinary umbrella to double its size and increase the defense area.
Senichi experimented a bit and found that it unfolded from inside the umbrella fabric. The thinness made Senichi doubt whether it could withstand bullets.
All in all, Senichi was very satisfied with this weapon. It was a perfect blend of technology and black technology. He finally had his own special equipment, which made him a bit excited.
As for the last item, it was said to be a reward, but it was more of a tool to significantly change the plot's ending for Senichi.
[Butterfly Effect Stabilizer Card: Consumes a large amount of Fate's Favor to stabilize a significant deviation in the trajectory of fate.
Note: Although it can stabilize the trajectory to its original path, it cannot completely eliminate the effects caused by reality. Be careful of the different changes that may arise based on this, whether they are good or bad, please judge for yourself~]
The remark on this item served as a reminder—the existence of Akemi Miyano would bring about some changes that even this tool couldn't correct.
Of course, from the current perspective, all the changes seemed to be good. For example, Haibara now had a sister.
As for the bad changes, they couldn't be seen in the short term, but Senichi wouldn't overlook them. He planned to have Akemi Miyano focus on survival and avoid causing trouble as much as possible.
Another consideration was the usage condition of this item.
In the planned rewards for this case, one of them was a massive amount of Fate's Favor.
Once this item was used up, Senichi would probably have little left. It might be even less than the normal rewards he received after preventing cases a few times before.
But what could he do? Could Senichi really dare not to use it?
He rescued Akemi Miyano, but Ai Haibara was still in the hands of the Black Organization. What if they became furious and killed Haibara...
Even if they didn't kill her, what if she found out that her sister was rescued by a mysterious organization and didn't lose hope, thinking she should endure and find an opportunity to escape, willingly cooperating with the Black Organization to survive?
By then, the organization would definitely not trust her anymore. If the additional research personnel discovered a drug that could restore youth, the "black organization would explode!
At that time, all the deaths on the previous hit list would have to be reinvestigated, and Conan, who was jumping around, would undoubtedly be the first one to be targeted!
If it went that way, the story would soon come to an abrupt end.
Clearly, the "Butterfly Effect Stabilizer Card" was meant to allow the main storyline to proceed smoothly and provide logical self-consistency for the author's explanation.
Of course, even if he didn't want to use it, would the Ai fans be willing!?
Therefore, after reading the description, Senichi immediately used the card.
[Do you want to consume a large amount of Fate's Favor to stabilize the butterfly effect caused by the host's actions?]
"Yes!"
[Confirmation selected, Fate's Favor in use...Currently restricting the disturbance of the butterfly effect on the current trajectory of fate…]
Senichi glanced at these information prompts, but there was no way he could decipher anything. After all, even during his part-time job, it was the same. He had no reaction whatsoever to ordinary information.
But he didn't plan to take any action. Recently, under his leadership, the police department regained a billion yen in stolen money. It was quite exhilarating, but he couldn't help but attract the attention of the people from the Black Organization.
After all, this matter was related to them. Even though the system had already settled the reward, indicating that the matter had come to an end, Senichi still intended to keep a low profile for a while.
After all, when the tree grows tall, it catches the wind. It's best to develop quietly. Even if the people from the Black Organization stopped paying attention, the disappearance of "Masumi Hirato" would definitely attract the attention of others.
Better safe than sorry.
