In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 135 A sharp tongue rarely ends well.

Chapter 135 A sharp tongue rarely ends well.

On Christmas Day, young people and couples can be seen everywhere on the streets, as if any holiday can be treated as Valentine's Day.

Especially in this world of Detective Conan, besides the strong atmosphere of crime, the most rampant smell is the sour smell of love. It is quite normal for two atmospheres to converge in the same room.

As soon as he entered the KTV room, Akutagawa Hiko felt a gaze fixed on him.

In the private room, besides them, there were two men and two women, all members of Tatsuya Kimura's band.

The one watching him was Terahara Mari, who had always liked Kimura Tatsuya, and who, due to prolonged verbal abuse, had turned her love into hatred and decided to kill Kimura Tatsuya today.

When she saw Akutagawa Hiko turn around to look at her, she immediately panicked and tried to turn her head away, but she stopped herself and smiled at him in a friendly manner.

Then, Akutagawa Hiko noticed another unfriendly gaze, which came from Kimura Tatsuya, who was unaware of the tragic fate that was about to befall him.

However, Akutagawa Hiko's attention was not on the other people present at the moment, but mainly because the presence of a certain short, spiky-haired man on the screen was a bit too strong.

This person is called Iron Sword, also known as Iron Blade. He is the protagonist of an early manga, unlike the somewhat supernatural "Magic Kaito" and the "Detective Conan" which is similar to the ordinary world except for some Conan-related elements.

This character from "Legend of the Sword and the Hero" is incredibly powerful in combat.

Even as a guest character, he possesses top-tier combat skills in this world, and this world itself should be considered low in magic.

This person might actually be able to use some of the Dragon God's power.

This is a pre-recorded video used as background music for a song. No one pays attention to this guy with a sword slung over his shoulder except for Akutagawa Hiko.

Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri sat on the sofa, looking somewhat reserved. They had been having a great time gossiping yesterday, but now that they were in front of the person in question, they didn't know how to start the conversation. They lowered their heads, their faces were red, and their eyes were wide open.

Despite only hearing that it was the investor's daughter and her friend, the agent suddenly saw the famous detective's panic and forced Terahara Mari to distract herself.

"Why aren't you saying anything? You're all here now, don't be so reserved."

Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri exchanged a glance and asked the question they had been discussing so enthusiastically the night before: "We have a question for Mr. Tatsuya: is it true that you're dating Yumiko Koizumi?"

Akutagawa noticed that Ai, who had been somewhat bored, suddenly sat up straight and turned her ears toward them.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuan is also a gossip.

Tatsuya Kimura is sharp-tongued and arrogant towards those close to him, and likes to use unfriendly or even malicious language to motivate his teammates to work harder, but he is quite friendly towards strangers.

He wasn't annoyed by the two people's gossiping behavior: "Hahaha, don't worry, these are just things reporters wrote to grab attention."

Conan seemed speechless at the two's behavior, while Ai Haibara seemed somewhat disappointed.

Of all the people present, apart from Ai Haibara, who was rather introverted and silent, most others were more outgoing and quickly became familiar with each other, and the atmosphere soon became lively.

The best friend duo sang a song, which drew cheers from the crowd. Tatsuya Kimura also expressed his approval. However, his drunkenness did not stop him from praising his teammates: "They are so much better than our ragtag band."

Terahara Asa wanted to offer some advice, but was instead attacked directly at her appearance, which was what she cared about most besides her feelings: "You ugly hag, shut your mouth!!"

A few years ago, Tatsuya Kimura's singing career was on track and he was about to be taken over by a big company. He even said things like, "It's so great to be able to invite you to be my manager."

Based on their usual interactions, Terahara Mari felt that the two must like each other.

However, she felt that her ordinary appearance was not a good match for the handsome Tatsuya Kimura, and therefore felt inferior.

So she went and got plastic surgery, and became the stunning beauty that Conan has certified.

To everyone's surprise, Tatsuya Kimura got very angry, calling him an ugly monster and arguing with him over trivial matters.

Moreover, all the care and recognition from the past vanished overnight.

Feeling that her emotions had been manipulated and that she had paid a heavy price, Terahara Mari instantly went from being on the verge of entering the paradise of love to falling into the hell of verbal violence. After enduring it for several years, she could no longer bear it and decided to kill Kimura Tatsuya at this celebration banquet.

Cosmetic surgery is not a one-click face change; it not only involves enduring the pain of post-operative recovery but also carries the risk of botched procedures.

The combined psychological and physical torment was beyond her capacity to bear.

Conan whispered to Akutagawa Hiko, "This Kimura Tatsuya has drunk too much, how could he call such a beautiful woman ugly?"

Ai Haibara glanced at Conan and said calmly, "Don't tell me you didn't notice. This manager has had plastic surgery. You should have learned your lesson by now."

The things they hadn't learned before were all taught to them by Akutagawa Hiko. Since Akutagawa Hiko taught her separately courses on physiognomy and disguise, it means that Conan had learned them.

Because of her fear of certain witches with a thousand faces, Ai Haibara is extremely eager to learn about this subject, but she is worried that there might be other members of the organization who know more than her capable henchman, Gin.

Vermouth and Sherry's relationship is exceptionally bad; the grudges of the previous generation fell on her shoulders after her parents died when she was little.

This master of disguise is no pushover; besides the organization's radar, which seems to be defunct, we must have other countermeasures.

Conan met Akutagawa's scrutinizing gaze, feeling that if he said he didn't see it at a time like this, he would be tortured until he couldn't even lift his arms or move his fingers.

Conan quickly pointed out the inconsistencies to prove he hadn't forgotten the facts, then breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "It's really unnecessary. It looks so good. Even if it's been surgically altered, we should respect the objective facts."

Ai Haibara picked up a small snack from the table, examined it, smelled it, and tasted it lightly before putting it in her mouth to make sure it was okay: "Maybe she prefers her appearance before the plastic surgery. Your preferences don't represent everyone."

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by 'my hobby'?!"

Conan protested irritably, then casually picked up a cookie and stuffed it into his mouth: "You're being a little too cautious. Isn't that troublesome?"

"It's always good to be cautious when you're out and about. If you had been more careful, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Conan was instantly speechless and silently listened to the others sing.
