Chereads / Conan: I'm Really a Good Person / Chapter 388 - Ask Yourself

Chapter 388 - Ask Yourself

People's sorrows and joys aren't connected, and while Ichijō Mirai feels nothing but darkness in his future, Gin goes to get the medical kit.

He was quite capable, and with an air of skill, he took the heartbeat monitoring device from the medical kit and put it on Ichijō Mirai's wrist as if he had done it many times before, and said steadily, "Your heartbeat is not normal, it's already 200 now."

"Is it because of the side effects of the medication that caused the body to change, or is it because you're not in a good mood?"

Of course, it may not be incompatibility, but Gin has been living in the darkness of the future for a long time, and is already experienced.

It wasn't really a skillful process, it was just an aura, as he paused for a few seconds as he tightened the equipment around Ichijō Mirai's wrists, holding them tentatively and making sure that he didn't immediately get his hooves puckered by the great Savior-sama before continuing to tighten them.

The reason why he seemed so skillful was probably because he had practiced it in his head countless times, or maybe he had been controlling his own blood pressure and measuring his own heartbeat and blood pressure so many times that he had learned how to do it for others.

Ichijō Mirai leaned back against the game pod and watched Gin calmly take his own measurements, but not at the equipment or at Gin's cell phone, which was constantly ringing with text message alerts, but at the side of his face, which was half-frowning in concentration.

As he watched, he named Gin, "Gin."

"You're so cocky."

How dare you fly a helicopter across Tokyo in an anime!

Once and then again, in obscurity, and then once a year, an evil villain destined to be destroyed by the righteous.

Ichijō Mirai couldn't figure out how the evil, evil villain Gin could justifiably act like 'for the sake of world peace, love and justice, please don't go out and cause terrorist attacks'!

He didn't even step on a helicopter with a machine gun over Tokyo, he just played with a pistol and a sniper rifle, so he's even more ruthless and evil than Gin! How can you be an evil villain as 'Satan'!

Ichijō Mirai is confused, Ichijō Mirai is sad, Ichijō Mirai is depressed.

Gin is calm.

Because some of the members of the organization who can't be directly named are too inappropriate, he has a lot of experience, even if he was directly named as being too arrogant, he just raised his eyes to look at Ichijō Mirai, didn't even make a sound of doubt or protest, and simply admitted without blinking: "Yes."

Well, he was too arrogant, why? Probably because he stepped into the bathroom with his left foot first.

While measuring his heartbeat, he took a needle out of the medical kit to draw Ichijō Mirai's blood, and asked, "May I ask what happened in the game?"

What happened to make Ichijō Mirai, who has always been a misanthrope, appear as if he had been misanthrope, wanting to lie back down in the game pod to sleep and reopen his eyes to the world, depressed and shriveled like melted ice cream, and in a tone of voice that is quite angry.

Isn't this the state of the person facing Ichijō Mirai?

Ichijō Mirai: "..."

It's nothing. I just woke up as an evil villain.

In reality there are no protagonists, so there are no villains, in fact most of them are gray, but most literature has protagonists, and when there are protagonists, there are villains.

Unless they jump ship and change their ways, most villains don't end up well, and even if they don't die, the best they can do is go off into hiding.

Ichijō Mirai was willing to change his name and move away from Tokyo, he was willing to do so, he changed his alias a lot and didn't have much of a place to settle down, but... Suzuki Sonoko... he didn't seem to be a big villain who did anything wrong.

I don't think there's a villain who doesn't meet justice at the end, but instead gets a beautiful woman and goes on to become a winner in life, is there?

Then Ichijō Mirai couldn't accept it.

He also understood more and more why the materialized reality was going in the strange direction of 'Rum becoming the leader', and now it seemed like it was just a non-sticky pot, wasn't it?

I'm not the leader of an evil organization, so you can't beat me up after you beat up Rum, right?

Recalling that conversation, Ichijō Mirai could understand the part of the conversation that he couldn't understand before: why 'Ichijō Mirai' had made some incomprehensible jokes about time and still looked like he was in a very beautiful state of mind.

As we all know, "Detective Conan" is an anime that follows the flow of time in reality. When the audience goes through the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the anime also goes through the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. However, while decades go by in reality, only one or two years go by in the anime. Therefore, time can be described as compressed biscuits. One bite can taste the original taste of more than ten bites. Various flavors are mixed together, which is very complicated. It is not outrageous to have three Valentine's Days, two Christmases and one summer vacation in one month.

So the question is: if, if a character dies, then, on the next day, is she dead, or does she reappear?

Would the others be able to tell?

Will they wonder, "Hey, has Sonoko taken a leave recently?", or will they look at the air with eyes happily curved as if they saw Suzuki Sonoko, and call her "Sonoko" helplessly, or will they notice it but can't understand, "Why was Sonoko still alive yesterday on May 2nd, but she died today on April 13th?".

Regardless of whether other people could realize it or not, 'Ichijō Mirai' could have realized it, probably when he came to this world at the beginning or after Suzuki Sonoko's death, otherwise his mental state couldn't have been so beautiful.

According to his excessively beautiful mental state, Suzuki Sonoko, who should not have died, died, and there is probably a reason why he was implicated...

That's understandable.

Moreover, 'Ichijō Mirai' didn't go completely insane, he still had some sense, and left a lot of things behind, such as the death of the leader in the game, and in the manifestation of reality, the new leader is actually Rum...

This shows his tendency: not to kill off the main character, not to overthrow the black and white colors and reshuffle the cards, not to raise the table, but to go along with the anime, to say 'I'm not the leader, I'm the poor guy who was taken into the darkness by force'.

He even took into account the level of the player's uptightness, and created "Savior", a prop that even if the player does something bad, other people will understand it from their own point of view, and take the blame for the player.

Ichijō Mirai thought about this subtle tendency, and quickly decided on what he would do next: hold on, don't make waves, and continue to clean himself up and shrug off the blame.

Gin had already finished drawing blood, and he looked at Ichijō Mirai, who was clearly not going to answer and was thinking alone, and refrigerated the tube of blood before he heard the words of the great non-Chief Lord, "This afternoon..."

"Conan asked me out?"

"Yes," Gin said, "He said he'd pick you up at the sweet store with the others then."

After a pause, he added, "Belmode's on his way over, are you going to?"

He realized that as soon as he said 'Belmode', Ichijō Mirai dropped out of his contemplative state and swept his eyes over to him with the haunted look of a traitor.

Even more haunting was the tone of Ichijō Mirai's voice as she spoke, "No, I'm fine, let her go back."

It wasn't like rejecting the care of a dear subordinate, it was like sending off an unscrupulous relative who came to share his inheritance.

Gin didn't have a problem with it, and immediately responded, "Yes."

After disposing of the wretched Judas, who was most likely coming to eat his own table, Ichijō Mirai summarized his current information for a few moments, and confirmed one thing: the afternoon was going to be a tough one.

Not only do you have to deal with Suzuki Sonoko, who is likely to hate you, but you also have to prove to Conan that you're a good person.

But since he's been so good in all his non-game appearances and disguises, Conan has a good feeling about him.

He must believe he's a good guy, right?

*

Is Ichijō Mirai 'Messiah', or 'Satan'? Is he a good man, or is he an evil man who committed a terrible crime?

As he pondered this, Conan's expression grew heavy as he slumped in the passenger seat and exchanged a worried glance with Dr. Agasa in the driver's seat of the other car.

Sentimentally, Conan didn't want the idea that had taken root from Akai Shūichi's narration to be true, but reason told him that there were a lot of doubts, such as: in New York, Ichijō Mirai had just turned from a police officer to a criminal in the open, but how could he be so skillful, and so sharp and ruthless, as if he were a veteran criminal?

But if the current Ichijō Mirai is in fact 'Satan'...

With a sideways glance, Conan could see Suzuki Sonoko in the corner of his eye.

It was a day when the kids wanted to go out, and Mouri Korogō had an appointment near the amusement park, so they all went out together, with Mouri Korogō in the driver's seat, Mouri Ran carrying Conan in the passenger's seat, and the backseat being reserved for Suzuki Sonoko and Ichijō Mirai, who was about to get into the car.

Suzuki Sonoko was the only one sitting in the backseat, and she was carefully lying on the open window, pressing her fingers against the window with such nervousness and pressure that the center of her fingers turned white, and the edges of the white were flushed with red.

Mouri Ran's eyes were constantly looking at her, helpless and understanding, but Suzuki Sonoko was oblivious, looking straight at the sweet store in the sunlight, her eyes reflecting the sun's rays to the point that they were glowing.

After glancing at it for about ten seconds, Conan became more and more serious: if Ichijō Mirai was the 'Satan' who had gotten away with the bloodshed, then Suzuki Sonoko...

They had a crush on each other, so whether Suzuki Sonoko would be shocked and wave goodbye, or not believe that the man she loved was 'Satan', would Ichijō Mirai let her go?

Moreover, Mouri Ran has been accompanying Suzuki Sonoko all the time, and has been making his presence felt in front of Ichijō Mirai!

As he worries, he sees Ichijō Mirai coming down the stairs of the dessert store through the clear glass, and then pushes the door open.

His attention was firmly tied to Ichijō Mirai, so he was keenly aware that Ichijō Mirai was also paying attention to him.

'Ichijō Mirai was paying attention to him' was something Conan had known for a long time, but now, with the possibility that Ichijō Mirai was 'Satan', that attention had changed, and was so different that he had to be on guard.

The moment he met his eyes, Conan subconsciously withdrew his expression of thought and worry, and gave Ichijō Mirai a childlike, innocent smile.

Then, he realized that Ichijō Mirai's eyes were like running water. He looked at himself for the first time and seemed to be paying serious attention to him, but in reality, he didn't even stop for a second and looked directly from the passenger side to the backseat.

In the back seat, Suzuki Sonoko had already pushed open the back door and waved happily, "Mr. Mirai, you're here!"

Half of her body poked out of the car door, illuminated by the sunlight, not only her deep green eyes cleared up, even her hair was gilded with a layer of warm gold luster.

Ichijō Mirai walks over to her, placing a hand on the top of her hair, shielding her from the car's roof as he sits back down, "...Uh-"

He gets in the car and slides the door closed, his eyes fall on Suzuki Sonoko's smiling face that can't help but raise, like he's a little hesitant, a little unsure, and he speaks half a beat slower than usual, "...Sorry to keep you guys waiting..."

Conan: "..."

Ask yourself, is it really 'you guys' you're trying to say?
