Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Permanent Item: Hidden Coin Gun

A delicate fragrance filled his nostrils, refreshing and intoxicating.

Heiji hugged Miwako Sato tightly.

It was the first time she had hugged a man, and a stranger at that, so Miwako Sato felt very strange in her heart.

"Oh... Miss Miwako, worthy of being the flower of the Police Department, your psychological attack is truly impressive. You almost convinced me to surrender."

Everything Heiji had just said was an act, even the tone of his voice was feigned, but it was so perfect that it deceived Miwako Sato and the others.

After all, it was Miwako Sato who started playing psychological warfare with him, so he couldn't be blamed. He took the opportunity to play along and kidnap her.

Before Miwako Sato could react, she felt a pain in her neck and instantly fainted.

"Officers, when the night calls again, when evil resurfaces, we will meet again."

With that said, Heiji took Miwako Sato in his arms and jumped off the edge of the bridge.

Conan's face changed drastically. He jumped onto the railing and watched the Night Baron gliding over the sea's surface: Damn it, I should have realized this problem sooner.

He had been wondering how the Night Baron had arrived, and it hadn't occurred to him that he might have come flying from the sky, just like Kaito Kid.

"Miwako~~!!"

"Officer Sato~~!!"

The faces of Inspector Megure, Takagi, and the others changed drastically, shouting as they watched Miwako Sato being kidnapped by the Night Baron.

"Notify the coast guard immediately! Top priority to the capture of the Night Baron and, above all, ensure Miwako's safety!"

Beep, beep, beep~~

Countless police cars started up, chasing him frantically along the roads.

At that moment, no one paid any attention to Conan, much less noticed that he had slipped into Inspector Megure's car.

Heiji glided through the night sky with Miwako Sato in his arms. He had to admit that the figure of the Police Department's flower was excellent, well-proportioned, tall, and sexy.

On a winter night, the wind over the sea was sharp and icy.

Heiji was wearing warm clothes, but Miwako Sato, to disguise herself as the Night Baron, was not wearing much. Although she was unconscious, she instinctively clung to him, and her soft, curvy touch gave rise to all sorts of fantasies.

A blood-red figure soared through the night sky and landed on a multi-story building.

If Miwako Sato had been awake, she would surely have recognized the place. It was where she and the Night Baron had first met, and also where the maple leaf gold coins were discovered and stolen.

He left Miwako Sato leaning in a window opening and, seeing her slightly pale lips, decided to pay a visit to a nearby clothing store to commit a little theft. Actually, it wasn't a theft, at least he left a maple leaf gold coin as payment.

Whoosh~~

With a leap, a blood-red figure disappeared into the night sky.

When he returned to the Mouri Detective Agency, it was already past twelve at night. But that guy, Conan, probably wouldn't be back before two.

"Host has completed the D-class special mission. 1 evil point has been deducted. Additionally, please choose a number."

Lying on the bed, a virtual screen suddenly appeared before his eyes, showing a large roulette wheel with the numbers 1 through 9.

[What is this?]

Heiji was a bit puzzled. This system has lotteries too?

"This is the reward for a special mission. The numbers 1 through 9 correspond to an item or a reward of evil points. The items can be permanent or temporary. The evil points vary depending on the level of the mission. It all depends on the host's luck. Next, please choose a number."

It was rare for the system to give an explanation on its own. Although the voice was still cold and emotionless, this time it was pleasant to hear.

[So this is what special missions are. You can even get items. System, can we negotiate something? How about you give me more special missions in the future?]

"Special missions appear randomly, depending on the host's luck."

Heiji shrugged. Anyway, he had only asked for the sake of asking, he didn't expect this cheating system to actually agree.

"Please, host, choose a number."

The system said mechanically.

"Then 6, for good luck."

Heiji chose a number at random. Since he didn't know what he was going to get, he wasn't going to dwell on which number to choose.

On the virtual screen, the number "6" suddenly emitted a dazzling glow and disappeared in an instant.

"Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Hidden Coin Gun."

As soon as the system's voice finished, an incredible-looking gun appeared out of nowhere and landed on him.

[A gun?]

Heiji's face darkened. The design was very elegant and fit the identity of the Night Baron, especially the blood-red glow that completely covered it. But he couldn't carry it with him all the time, what good was it? If someone saw it by accident, wouldn't he be revealing his identity?

"How useless!"

He threw it to the foot of the bed indifferently.

At that moment, as usual, a line of text appeared before his eyes, describing the function of the skill or item.

Item Name: Hidden Coin Gun. Permanent item. Upon binding with the host, it can transform into any object of their choosing. Attention: the transformation can only be performed once and cannot be reversed.

Usage: Can be loaded with coins of any size and fire them as bullets. A magazine can hold ten coins. Range equivalent to a Desert Eagle, power equal to a revolver.

Special Note: When not needed, the item transforms into what the host has chosen to hide itself, becoming ethereal.

After reading the description, Heiji sat up abruptly and carefully took the gun in his hands: "Damn, this is a treasure!"

Being a machinist, how could he not have a weapon?

However, since this world was not like his own, and his identity was different, it was not convenient to carry a weapon, so he had not considered getting one. This hidden coin gun perfectly solved that problem.

"It seems the identity of the Night Baron will appear frequently. Let the gun become a ring."

Instantly, the bright blood-red gun disappeared, and on the ring finger of Heiji's right hand, a blood-red ring appeared. With a thought, the ring became ethereal and disappeared.

He touched his finger, he felt nothing strange, as if there was nothing there.

Heiji was very satisfied. He would test its power when he had time.

The night was already deep. Tonight, he would have a good dream.
