A white sedan parked quietly not far away.
Senichi also noticed Ayako getting out of the driver's seat and closing the car door. He took the initiative to greet her.
Seeing this, Sonoko smirked and ran over to pet Conan's head, leaving Senichi alone with Ayako.
As they approached each other face to face, Ayako took another step forward and embraced Senichi.
"Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?" Senichi asked curiously.
"After all, it's because they received my invitation that they encountered such a terrible thing... If something had happened, I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life..."
Ayako rested her head on Senichi's shoulder, looking at the two girls who were no longer worried by the side, and the burden in her heart gradually dissipated.
"It's not your fault," Senichi quickly dispelled Ayako's thoughts, "You don't need to blame yourself. They are the kind of people who are attracted to cases."
Come on, when it comes to being involved in a case, the first choices are undoubtedly Conan and Heiji. Ayako was just collateral, so there was no need to feel guilty about it.
Although that's what he said, Senichi couldn't possibly explain these Conan-verse laws to Ayako, so he could only be glared at by her and change the subject.
Afterward, Senichi and the others went to the hospital together.
It wasn't for Conan and Heiji's checkup but to visit Ryōsuke and his wife, who was about to give birth.
After being rescued, when Heiji and Conan rushed to the scene of the incident, Ryōsuke was also frantically heading to the hospital.
In the end, he arrived just in time when his wife was about to give birth, dispelling her worries and regrets, and both mother and child were safe.
His grandfather had arrived outside the delivery room even before him. Watching his safe and sound grandson and the birth of a new life, tears of joy couldn't help but flow.
The silent estrangement disappeared at this moment.
Senichi and the others' arrival also earned them gratitude from Ryōsuke's family.
Watching the arrival of the new life, this beautiful scene made Senichi and the others couldn't help but smile.
After finishing this, everyone didn't stay much longer. Heiji and Kazuha took a car back to Osaka overnight to report their safety to their parents, and Ran took Conan home.
Ayako also bid farewell to Senichi and went home with Sonoko to get a good night's sleep.
As for Senichi, after washing up in his room, he was the most spirited of all!
There's no other way. It was time for the long-awaited lottery draw, and because the case was significant, Senichi had a feeling that the rewards this time would be great.
With anticipation, Senichi opened the panel.
[The Clown's World]
[Due to in-depth analysis of the main culprit's psychological state, the Profiling level is increased by one year.]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 300 Fate Points]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Skill points (5 years)]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining "greatly increased odds in the next ten consecutive lottery draws for Main Profession Skills, Phantom Thief Profession Skills, and Combat Skills."]
What a great harvest!
Although this case did require a lot of effort from Senichi and the others, and the situation was once very critical, causing them to run around Tokyo to investigate, seeing the rewards made them feel it was all worth it!
First of all, the Profiling level had increased autonomously, proving the saying "practice makes perfect" to be true. Just one case raised the level significantly.
There was no need to mention fate Points, this time the reward was a whopping five skill points!
Whether added to the main profession skills or combat skills, it would be a significant improvement in his abilities!
However, Senichi didn't plan to invest all the points into one skill. Some of his plans required specific skills to support their smooth implementation.
Therefore, he intended to use the points for the skills he would need in his future plans, compensating for any weaknesses and ensuring the successful completion of those plans.
As for the second reward, without even thinking, Senichi knew it was another "buff enhancement." However, compared to the previous "Phantom Thief Profession Skill" buff, this one was obviously more comprehensive.
There was no need to say more; with this reward and the previous ones, he now had a thousand points, which was enough for this buff.
Thinking of this, Senichi couldn't resist the temptation and decisively tapped on the "lottery" option, choosing to draw ten times in a row!
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Knowledge Card: Theft (1 year)]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Knowledge Card: Chess (1 year)]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Knowledge Card: Psychology (2 years)]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Knowledge Card: Italian Cuisine (1 year)]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Knowledge Card: Throwing Hidden Weapons (1 year)]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Knowledge Card: Magic (1 year)]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Knowledge Card: Music (1 year)]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Knowledge Card: Games (3 years)]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Knowledge Card: Voice Changing (1 year)]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Knowledge Card: Hacker (1 year)]
With a familiar ten consecutive draws, this time there weren't as many new skills, mostly the ones he had drawn before.
Chess, Italian cuisine, and music were all everyday skills, adding to his versatility, but were somewhat insignificant.
As for the new skill, Games... Well, it was just a gaming experience.
But honestly, this thing was useless! Even if he went to the arcade, it would be for entertainment, not e-sports!
Moreover, with his current physical condition and coordination, coupled with his nerve reactions, playing games was like bullying. The experience he gained would only speed up his familiarization with the game's rules.
Seeing the 3 year skill level, Senichi couldn't help but feel pain. It would have been so much better if he could exchange it for another skill...
But perhaps it was precisely because of its limited usefulness that he could draw 3 year skill level.
Well, there was some consolation; at least he could show off his gaming skills when he went to the arcade or played games in the future.
Even though four of the drawn skills were everyday skills and not particularly exciting, they didn't dampen Senichi's joy in the slightest.
The skills of Hacker and Throwing Hidden Weapons were self-explanatory; they were both useful skills he had drawn before, and having more of them was always better.
As for Theft, Voice Changing, and Magic, they were obviously the low-probability Phantom Thief profession skills.
Drawing three of them in one go could be considered a big win, especially since Senichi had never drawn the first two skills before. Now that he had the first taste, he might encounter them again after the store refreshed its items.
Though Theft seemed somewhat out of place for a criminal investigator, skills had no inherent morality; it all depended on how a person used them. At certain critical moments, having such a skill could be very useful.
As for Voice Changing, it was extremely useful. Senichi had originally thought about asking Professor Agasa to help make a voice changer, but with this skill, it wouldn't be necessary anymore. This skill, apart from disguise, was the one Senichi coveted most among the Phantom Thief skills. As a shadow behind the scenes, the concealed guardian, it was often inconvenient to reveal his identity, making disguises essential.
Finally, among the ten draws, there was the primary profession skill of Detective: Psychology. Although it was only one main profession skill drawn, it was a skill he hadn't drawn before, and it was for two years, making it a fantastic gain!
Many people thought psychology was very high-end and cool, but in reality...
It could only be said that there was a gap between filters and reality.
But psychology was indeed useful, especially when combined with profiling techniques, it could be very effective.
Among these six draws, Senichi had gotten three very good new skills, which was a hidden gain.
After all, if it wasn't for the boost from this enhancement buff, Senichi didn't know how many times he would have to draw to get these three skills.
As he drew more and more useful skills and items to enrich the store, the stability of the store began to show. After all, the randomness of the lottery could be too great, and becoming stronger purely by drawing was entirely based on luck.
As time passed, the probability of refreshing good skills and items in the store would increase.
So, as time went on, Senichi could gradually increase his savings in Fate Points.
With this, he could pursue a more targeted development in the future.
