"The notes on system props are as flashy as ever, but even if you really spent 988 Fate Points in the mall, why would I buy it when I already have it?!"
Senichi glanced at the seemingly third-rate advertisement for a moment, skillfully opened the mall, and discovered that there was indeed a book titled["Super Sense of Smell" Talent Development Manual]placed on the shelf. He couldn't help but complain.
But complaints aside, Senichi was quite curious about this reward because it was evident from the name that it was a manual for developing a talent.
With a thought in mind, Senichi opened the manual and began checking its contents.
After roughly browsing through the manual's contents, even though he had already guessed the approximate effect of the prop from its name, Senichi's eyes still lit up when he saw the actual content.
In terms of value, this reward was much better than the lackluster Magic Poker cards he had drawn before.
Those Magic Poker cards are truly the most useless prop in Senichi's possession now. Although he understood magic, he wasn't a magician, and he rarely had a use for it.
Using its inherent properties as a weapon was a bit extravagant since it was non-recoverable. The chances of retrieving it after using it as a hidden weapon were very slim. He couldn't just pick it up during a fight.
This was a matter of compatibility. If he gave it to Kaito Kid, it might actually be a good prop.
This time's reward, on the other hand, clearly matched his abilities very well, to the point that it seemed tailor-made for Senichi.
Senichi's first acquired talent indeed brought him a dilemma.
The ability of Super Sense of Smell was undoubtedly excellent, but sometimes, it caused inconvenience in daily life.
As for pleasant smells, that was fine since they were considered good scents. However, foul odors... to be honest, Senichi didn't want to dwell on that. This was also the reason why he often deactivated his ability in his daily life.
While daily life was peaceful, it also inevitably wasted this talent.
For example, when passing by someone, or when riding the subway, he might encounter individuals with the smell of blood or drugs.
Perhaps he could even come across some criminals and earn some additional rewards.
But... Senichi had to admit that he used to say, "I really can't do it!"
Especially in crowded places, when he activates his Super Sense of Smell, the smells...
Leaving that aside, the consumption is too high. Countless odors require the brain to distinguish, which is a significant drain on the brain and can easily lead to fatigue.
But now, there's no need to worry about that. The method is here!
If the previous Senichi only had the talent and used it in a rudimentary manner, what he has now obtained is a refined skill.
As long as he undergoes targeted training according to the methods in the manual, Senichi can selectively lock onto a specific smell.
For example, the smell of blood, which is almost synonymous with a crime scene.
After extensive practice following the methods in the manual, even if Senichi usually keeps his Super Sense of Smell turned off, he can still detect the smell of blood from a distance!
In other words, after training, Super Sense of Smell can selectively include specific smells within its "range."
This way, it won't interfere with Senichi's daily life, and he won't miss out on these specified smells.
If other special odors need to be searched in a case, Senichi can open his Super Sense entirely, making this talent even more flexible.
After inspecting the reward with a pleasant feeling, Senichi once again returned his attention to the dining table.
At this moment, perhaps because it was a joyous day, people didn't dwell on troublesome matters anymore. With Kogoro Mouri's presence as well, the atmosphere quickly became lively.
With everyone's blessings to the two new lovebirds, the celebration party eventually ended on a high note.
As they were about to part ways, Yoko Okino specifically found Senichi to express her gratitude for preventing a tragedy caused by a misunderstanding.
Senichi just smiled and told her not to mention it before bidding her farewell.
Due to the alcohol, Senichi didn't drive but took a taxi back.
After taking a slightly tipsy shower, he went straight to bed and fell asleep.
The next day, Senichi woke up from his dreams and finished getting ready.
The talkative taxi driver informed him of some big news on his way to pick up his car—Kaoru Kusano had announced her relationship!
Looking at the newspaper handed to him by the driver, Senichi couldn't help but smile as he looked at the sweet winter photo of Miss Kaoru Kusano and Mr. Atsushi Makuma.
Good things always put people in a good mood, don't they?
After retrieving his car from the apartment complex, Senichi drove directly to the Suzuki residence.
"Here's your breakfast."
At the front gate, Ayako had been waiting for a while. When she saw Senichi park his car and lower the window, she smiled and waved the sandwich and freshly squeezed juice in her hand. "Should I drive? You can have breakfast first."
"Sure, that works." Senichi opened the car door, got out of the driver's seat, and accepted the breakfast. He walked towards the passenger seat.
As an adult, Ayako naturally knew how to drive, so while Senichi ate breakfast, the two of them chatted about what kind of house they were going to choose today.
Yes, today's activity was to select their "love nest" together.
Although living in the single apartments provided by the police headquarters was convenient, they were both financially well-off now. It didn't seem right to not have a decent place in Tokyo.
So, before the gathering yesterday, the two of them had arranged to go house hunting together today. Given their financial status, they could simply choose a house they liked, without much consideration for other factors.
As they were selecting a house, on the other side, Conan, who had been struck to the core, had originally planned to decline the invitation to go out and play with the kids, intending to work hard and be diligent. However, in the end, he was forcefully overruled by Ran.
Although he was still somewhat reluctant on the way there, after watching the circus performance, Conan found that taking some time to relax wasn't a bad idea.
"The performance was really interesting!" After leaving the circus, Mitsuhiko was still immersed in the previous performance.
"Yeah! Especially that all-white lion, it was amazing!" Genta enthusiastically agreed.
"Because it's undoubtedly the star of this circus!" Ayumi smiled as she took out a pendant and showed it to the two. "Look, there's even a pendant of that lion!"
"Wow! That's awesome!"
"Hehe, this is something Haibara and I bought together before the show started," Ayumi said with a smile, hearing Mitsuhiko's praise.
"I never thought you'd like this kind of stuff," Conan quipped from behind.
"Well, it's better than someone half-baked detective who's only interested in bloody cases but can never catch up to Officer Senichi," retorted Haibara immediately with a biting comment, effectively shutting Conan down.
