Simple = narration & indirect speeches
Bold = direct speeches
"Bold & Italic WITH inverted commas" = "thoughts"
Bold & Italic WITHOUT inverted commas = direct speeches from an external entity: for example the news on TV. (Almost always at least.😅)

🔥JOINED TOGETHER FOR THE SAME PURPOSE🔥
1. A NEW PRESENCE IN TOWN (INTRO)
It was apparently a day like any other: Conan, Ran and Kogoro were eating at their house while the latter was glued to the television foaming at the mouth watching the concert of "his" Yoko Okino: 📺🧑🎤
- You are more and more beautiful Yoko! What a voice! What movements! What determination! Go Yokoo!
- You're still the same old dad, i'm starting to believe that mum left you because you paid more attention to Yoko on TV rather than to her. 😮💨- his daughter reproached him.
- Stop talking rubbish Ran! If only you knew how much i adore that girl, so much that if it hadn't been your mother who insisted, you too would be named after her by now.
- You won't seriously tell me that you wanted to call your daughter Yoko, Kogoro?! 😳- little Conan intervened.
- Luckily mum stucked to her decision, that would have been the final straw.
Anyway thanks dad for this revelation, somehow i'm starting to appreciate my name a lot more now that i know this. 🙎
- Changing the subject for a moment Kogoro, it's been a while since i heard the office phone ringing, aren't there any more cases coming to you to solve? - Conan intervened again.
- Hmm? And what does it matter to you, brat? You can't wait to dig into some more mysteries again, right?
- Well, yes also haha. But it's strange to me, haven't you wondered why?
- What do i care?! As long as Yoko is on TV the phone can be silent forever! 📵😎
- But do you hear yourself dad? 🤦 I'm worried too, we still have expenses to bear and if you don't get any work how will we be able to support ourselves? - Ran asked apprehensively.
- Relax, a break can only benefit a great investigator of my caliber. In this way i have more time to rest and also remember that rest means everything to a detective like me, since i have solved all the cases while asleep.
"I can't believe he actually said that!!"😳- Conan thought with a shocked expression appeared on his face.
- We interrupt the transmission for extremely urgent news! 📺
- Oh no! What does all this mean? Give me back Yoko!! I want to see Yoko!! Nothing is more important than her and her concert!!!- Kogoro began to grumble while shaking the television as if by magic the singer would reappear.
- Come on, dad, move away from the TV and let's see what the news has to say.
- Unusually, fewer and fewer cases of crime are occurring in the city of Tokyo.
The crime rate is reducing significantly but apparently it doesn't seem to be due to an awareness of the criminals, since we have a witness here who could reveal something important to us about this story, tell us miss. 🎤 - thus passing the microphone to the woman the journalist had chosen to interview:
- I don't know if this event that i was able to observe with my own eyes is directly linked to the decrease in crime but i was saved by a child with extraordinary strength.
- Please don't spare the details, miss! - the reporter urged the interviewee to continue her story.
- I was returning home from my day's work at the hospital and just as i was walking along a side street adjacent to here and not at all crowded, i was suddenly attacked by some criminals who wanted to rob and rape me. I therefore thought i had no more hope since there were five criminals, but then HE arrived.
- Who is HE??? 🤨 - Conan, Ran and Kogoro asked themselves in unison.
- I know it might be hard to believe but in no time at all a child came to lend me a hand and knocked out the criminals in a fraction of a second, something unbelievable.
- Don't wait to be asked, miss, please describe this child to us as best you can! - the journalist decided to press her, as he was becoming more and more curious to find out what else was hidden behind that incredible story.
- This kid has a muscular physique, definitely muscular for someone his age, with blond and straight hair, blue eyes, and wearing an orange combat suit.
After thanking him in disbelief, i even tried to ask him what his name was and he replied by saying his name was Kakaroth.
I know you might think i'm crazy, but after that he put two fingers on his forehead and disappeared into thin air, almost as if he had teleported somewhere else.
- But what kind of name would that be?? It sounds like a vegetable!! Kakaroth? A teleporting child? Please, someone give this one a balloon test right now! But can they have to interrupt my Yoko to give voice to this drunk? I've had enough! 😤- Kogoro grumbled and suddenly decided to turn off the television.
- Hey dad, what are you doing? What do you say? To me she seemed sincere!
- Tsk, Ran! Blessed naivety! Listen to someone with a background of drunkenness like that of myself: you only make certain speeches when you have reached a decidedly high blood alcohol level.
I'm also surprised that the news gives a voice to certain people. But where have we arrived? 🤷 I'm going to get some fresh air. We will see each other later. - leaving then in a displeased manner.
- What do you think Conan?
- You know Ran, usually i don't really agree with your father's deductions but i have to say that this story is hard to believe even for me. It seems absurd to me.
- Yeah...maybe you two are right. Anyway, i'll take care of clearing the table and tidying up here; you go relax in your room or go out, do whatever you want. See you later.
--------------------------------------
- I'm back Bulma!✋
- Hey Goku! Where the heck have you been? I was worried. 🤷
- I was out to see if there was anyone in trouble i could help, you already know it, right?
- You're always the same. You know that i appreciate your innate sense of justice but you have to be careful now that you are in contact with earthlings: they are not and do not know what a Saiyan is.
- Don't worry Bulma, even though Pilaf with the cursed desire for him made me return to the body of a child, this does not mean that my brain has regressed along with it.
- Yes, i hope so.
However, my dear Super Saiyan, do not think that you will spend your life exclusively hunting criminals, since you live on Earth and as an earthling you will have to behave in turn, so be ready because i intend to enroll you in an elementary school together with children of your age.
- Please Bulma tell me you're joking!! - Goku objected.
- Not at all! By the way, did you by any chance reveal your name to anyone while you were transformed? Please tell me no. 🙏
- Yes and no. I mean, today i introduced myself to a woman i helped but using my Saiyan name, not my earthling one.
- Good! Now that you're going to start mixing with society and your "peers" you'll always have to keep your identity a secret, it's important.
So you can continue to do your good deeds, i have nothing against it at all, on the contrary, but it's important to keep the two identities separate, have i been clear? Kakaroth and Goku must never coincide, do you understand? And, another important thing, always remember your hair Goku: be careful with your hair because it will help you avoid getting exposed.
So don't you ever dare transform into a Super Saiyan in public, are we clear? Goku = normal stage with black hair and hazel eyes, while Kakaroth = Super Saiyan with blond hair and blue eyes. In this way it will be impossible to unmask you.
- Oh, so you weren't joking when you said i'll have to start going to school?! 😱 - the Saiyan replied, making it clear that his attention hadn't moved since Bulma had told him about her decision.
- Of course i wasn't kidding! And i'll also tell you that you can forget about your beloved combat suit when you have to appear in public as a normal child.
In fact, i've already bought you some nice and sober clothes that won't attract too much attention. Look how cute they are! 🤩 - The woman said while proudly showing off the new clothes she had just bought for Goku, with the latter thus starting to observe them although with a decidedly disappointed and annoyed expression on his face:
- Come on Bulma, seriously? It's not that they really match my style, i much prefer my combat suit.
- Are you dumb? But if i just told you that it's important to keep your identities separate, what would be the point of being in society with the same clothes you wear to fight criminals? 🤷You'd be unmasked in no time! But are you REALLY sure that your brain hasn't regressed along with your body as you claimed earlier? 🤔
- Ugh, and that's fine, but i still don't like them! 😤- Goku said as he tried reluctantly on the new pants and denim shirt that Bulma had bought for him.
- You'll get used to it and now come because dinner is ready.
From next week your life will change so you too will start doing everything that other children do and, during your free time if you want, you can continue to hunt down criminals. Easy, right?😊✌️
