Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

"There are still 23 minutes left."

Miyano Shiho glanced at the number on the timer, moved his buttocks, and sat next to Sakaki Makoto.

Stroking the handkerchief soaked with blood, she said softly:

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurt just now, but it doesn't hurt anymore."

Sakaki also dropped the scissors, took out his cigarette case and wanted to smoke one, but remembered that he was next to a bomb, so he gave up in frustration.

"When it exploded just now."

Miyano Shiho asked quietly:

"what's on your mind?"

"Want to hear the truth or lies?"

After finding a comfortable position, Sakaki said with a smile.

"Of course"

Miyano Shiho paused:

"Whether a lie sounds better or the truth sounds better."

"Maybe we only have 23 minutes left, so I want to hear good things."

"actually."

Sakaki scratched his head:

"I didn't think about anything at the time."

"My mind is blank."

When the explosion occurred, hugging Miss Miyano was a completely subconscious reaction, a mechanical action without thinking.

but.

Even after careful consideration, he would still make the same choice.

"What a coincidence, so am I."

After receiving this answer, Miyano Shiho smiled silently.

"Tell me an interesting story about when you were in school."

Sakaki suddenly said:

"You are only eighteen years old, how come you are recruited by the organization to work as a coolie?"

"Graduated early."

Her ice-blue eyes were curved into crescent shapes. She smiled slyly like a little fox:

"I'm a genius scientist."

"Then we are truly a match made in heaven!"

Sakaki said quickly.

"Are you a genius too?"

Miyano Shiho was stunned.

"No, I'm the devil."

Thumbs up, Sakaki grinned:

"The devil protects the angels."

"Angel"

She shook her head:

"I'm no angel, if I may."

"I would rather make a sword that will never be sad or cry."

"Then I'll be a dragon."

Spreading his hands, Sakaki said:

"The evil dragon is so good. He can rob whatever he wants. When he's unhappy, he goes to the village to kidnap a girl and brings her back for a tooth ceremony. When he's happy, he just looks at his pile of treasures and rejoices. No one dares to bully him. He has to Pay tribute on time."

"I thought you wanted to be a hero."

Miyano Shiho looked at him in surprise:

"And the evil dragon will eventually be killed by the hero, don't you know?"

"I know."

Sakaki said matter-of-factly:

"But someone has to be the dragon, otherwise where would the hero be?"

"The hero killed the dragon and returned to the palace to marry the princess. As time passed, he was no longer needed, and he gradually became a new dragon."

"Evil dragons will never disappear. When one falls, a new dragon will immediately take over. Heroes are different. Heroes are warriors who step forward with a sharp sword to fight the dragon and kill it. The talent of the evil dragon is called a hero, and those killed by the evil dragon can only be called cannon fodder."

"But a hero can marry a fair-skinned and beautiful princess!"

Miss Miyano tilted her head and continued:

"The evil dragon can only guard his village girl day after day. No matter how much treasure he has, he can't spend it."

"So the hero is the winner in life, and the dragon is just a stepping stone on his road to life."

"Isn't it?"

Grabbing a wire on the ground, Sakaki fiddled with it and said absently:

"There are a lot of weeds outside the evil dragon's cave. It sleeps on a pile of rusty swords. When it wakes up, it can see the weeds outside. When the hero travels a long distance and gathers companions to attack it, it can Play hide and seek with the sword and whisper to the weeds.”

Miss Miyano was stunned for a moment, and then she finally came to her senses.

this.

Are you talking about her?

The hero has to protect thousands of people, so he is loved.

But the evil dragon will only protect the weeds near the cave, and anyone else who dares to come close will take a bite of its dragon flames.

Although the hero is the spokesperson of good, he will also kill the defender of the sword for the sake of the sword.

As for the evil dragon, although it likes to rob girls of treasures, it eats wild beasts in the forest. When it is happy, it will save people, so that villages or passing caravans will not be troubled by the beasts.

Are heroes really good and dragons really evil?

"you"

"will you marry me?"

A ring made of wires was stretched out in front of him.

Miss Miyano was completely dumbfounded:

"Propose as soon as you come up?!"

"The span is too big!"

"There's no time"

Sakaki pointed at the timer with only a few minutes left and sighed helplessly:

"Besides, there's no one else around."

"So we."

"Just make do?"

His face suddenly darkened.

Glancing at the extremely simple ring, Miss Miyano said with a dark face:

"You are so insincere!"

"I'm just a substitute for co-writing!"

"No."

"A unique ring, given to the unique you."

Sakaki's eyes became serious:

"Outside the dragon's cave, only one strong weed can grow."

"will you marry me?"

"Of course"

Miss Miyano rolled her eyes:

"I don't want to!"

"What the hell kind of proposal is this!"

"It's weird that a girl would agree!"

The eyes suddenly dimmed.

Looking at the ring made of wire, Makoto Sakaki muttered:

"I'm really not prepared."

"I had to improvise."

"Then let's try it."

Miss Miyano reached out and snatched the ring, but didn't put it on:

"You look so pitiful. Humph."

"I'll give you a chance."

Eh?

This is a twist in the plot.

Makoto Sakaki's eyes lit up.

He thought Miss Miyano refused.

"You agreed?"

"Of course I can't marry you."

Miss Miyano pouted:

"You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to build relationships step by step."

"Although there may be no chance."

The sudden sense of happiness made Makoto Sakaki dizzy.

He raised the scissors and asked:

"There's no time."

"Which one do you want to cut?"

Time came to the last minute, and the countdown began.

Outside the Beihua Municipal Hall, Megure Jusan looked at the second hand on his watch that was clicking towards the finish line, and he was a little breathless.

Conan, Moriya Teiji and others all looked up at the fifth floor and clenched their fists.

Their hearts were pounding, their blood pressure was soaring, and even the usually calm and composed Superintendent Hakuba became nervous.

The rescue teams all withdrew from the building.

Above their heads, helicopters from major TV stations were hovering in the air, and the hosts were holding microphones and spitting at the cameras.

At this moment, the entire Tokyo, and even the entire Japanese people, focused their attention on the fifth floor of the Beika City Hall.

"Are you sure?"

Holding Miss Miyano and holding her hand, Makoto Sakaki asked softly.

On the timer, the time entered the final sprint.

10, 9, 8, 7

"Yeah."

Miss Miyano nodded.

3, 2, 1

"Cut it."

Click!

This day has finally come...
