Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 Exploding Gold Coins Isn't Illegal, Right?

A few hours later, Chizuru, who had barely recovered, stared at the line of text on her phone screen, [Deposited: 300,000 Yen], and fell into a long silence.

Her heart at this moment was as complicated as if she had knocked over a bottle of five flavors.

Just then, the master bedroom door was pushed open. Makoto, who had already finished washing up, walked in and asked casually, as if nothing had happened:

"The money arrived?"

Chizuru softly murmured "Mm" in acknowledgment.

She looked at this man who had taken so many of her 'firsts', not knowing how to face him.

She could feel that Makoto had no emotional feelings for her in that way… it was purely... a transaction.

But regardless, he was her first.

Without a doubt, Makoto would leave an indelible mark on Chizuru's heart.

Makoto suddenly remembered something and asked with interest:

"Now that you've mastered the Transformation Technique, why are you still doing this line of work to make money? It's not like you simply enjoy it, right?"

In the original story, Chizuru relied on makeup to change her appearance to work as a rental girlfriend. Now that she had the Transformation Technique, it was obviously more convenient.

But the problem was… if you've already learned the Transformation Technique, why are you still working as a rental girlfriend?

If you just casually browse through criminal laws, which one isn't a way to make money?

"How could I possibly enjoy it!? That... would be illegal."

Chizuru first let out a shriek, then muttered quietly.

Although she had also spent two years in the Naruto World, most of that time was spent going back and forth between the Ninja Academy and the orphanage.

Aside from the different learning content, life was basically no different from the real world.

Therefore, whether it was Chizuru or Yukino, their personalities and worldviews hadn't actually been greatly impacted.

That was also why they were so surprised when they saw Makoto causing so many earth-shattering incidents.

Hearing this answer, Makoto was simply speechless.

'—That makes so much sense, I have nothing to say.'

'Anyway, exploding naive guys' gold coins isn't illegal, right?'

Makoto felt that if Chizuru were to hang out on Tiktok from his previous life, she would definitely become a spiritual guide for those fairies.

After that, Chizuru limped out of the Yukinoshita Residence.

As she was leaving, she ran into Haruno who was just returning.

Seeing this pretty girl walking with an awkward gait, Haruno was startled for a moment but didn't say hello.

Back at the house, Haruno opened the trunk, which was filled with the water balloons and rubber balls that Makoto had asked her to buy.

"I've bought the stuff."

Makoto casually picked up a water balloon and began injecting Chakra into it.

Immediately, the water inside the balloon began to surge irregularly.

"Pop!"

The chaotic Chakra caused the water balloon to burst, splashing all over Makoto's hand.

"It's really not that simple."

Makoto muttered to himself.

After all, this was the ultimate technique developed by Minato to rival the Tailed Beast Bomb.

That's right, what he was practicing now was the Rasengan.

This was the only Ninjutsu in the original story that had a detailed training method and was clearly an A-rank technique. It would be a shame not to learn it.

Haruno watched from the side, dumbfounded.

'What kind of power was this?'

Just then, Mrs. Yukinoshita walked over: "Haruno, don't disturb Makoto's training."

Haruno looked speechless.

It felt like in just one day, her own mother had become a loyal devotee of Makoto.

And at this moment, the look in Mrs. Yukinoshita's eyes as she watched Makoto grew more and more satisfied… using Makoto's words from his previous life, it was 'a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law'.

Except... which one was more suitable, Yukino or Haruno?

Mrs. Yukinoshita was still seriously considering.

On the other side, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

As Makoto had predicted, after he thoroughly dealt with the First Investigative Division led by Inspector Megure, the Tokyo police immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with Makoto.

Actually, the discussion didn't take long.

After all, although the power Makoto displayed at Shuchi'in Academy yesterday was shocking, it hadn't yet scared the police senseless.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the superior of Inspector Megure who participated in the meeting, a fierce-looking man, stated:

"Why go through so much trouble? Just find the kid, figure out his route, and set up a sniper."

And as for the sniper—

"Leave it to Mouri Kogoro."

That's right, in this anime crossover world, Mouri Kogoro had not resigned to become a detective but continued to serve in the police department, and he was also the department's top sharpshooter.

This mission was perfect for him.

In the past, considering that Makoto was a minor, the police might not have used guns.

But after seeing his abilities, everyone realized… this time, they had to use guns.

"But we can't find him. We've already checked all the city's surveillance cameras."

Takagi Wataru scratched his head and said in distress.

The group discussed for a while but still couldn't come up with a solution.

In the end, it was Inspector Megure, the 'Subordinate Fruit ability user', who spoke:

"Let's ask Kudo-kun for his opinion."

Hearing this, Kogoro looked speechless.

He really didn't want to see that brat who wanted to steal his precious daughter.

The next day, Shinichi was called to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Whether it was because Shinichi's background was just too strong, or because the entire police headquarters was full of useless people… no one thought it was unusual for the police to seek help from a high school student.

After listening to Inspector Megure's reason for calling him, Shinichi also found it difficult.

Letting him solve cases was his specialty.

But asking him to find someone... this was indeed a problem for him.

After all, in the cases he handled, the suspects never ran away… they always stayed obediently at the scene waiting for him to uncover them.

Seeing Shinichi's constipated expression, Kogoro, sitting in the front row, couldn't help but show a smug smile:

'—You brat, there are actually things you can't solve?'

Just then, Takagi Wataru walked in and reported to Inspector Megure:

"Chief, there's a girl who says she can provide information on Nishikawa Makoto."

Inspector Megure's eyes lit up, and he had Takagi Wataru bring her in.

Soon, Takagi Wataru brought in a girl wearing the same black Shuchi'in Academy uniform as Shinichi, with a cool temperament and very high beauty level.

Shinichi was stunned.

He knew this person.

His own classmate… Yukinoshita Yukino.

Also the person who had been slapped by Makoto at the opening ceremony earlier.

"Yukinoshita, you know where that person is?"

Shinichi asked with a frown.

Yukino spoke with a cool expression:

"That person possesses a disguise technique similar to Kaito Kid's. You won't find him with ordinary methods."

She didn't reveal the matter of the Reincarnation Game… the Reincarnation System had said that if she dared to reveal she was a player, she would be killed.

Although it didn't specify whether she could say it in the real world, she didn't dare to gamble.

She could only use Kaito Kid as an example.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Especially the Second Investigative Division led by Nakamori Ginzo… they were the main force trying to catch Kaito Kid. So they had been toyed with by Kid's disguise technique, and knew how troublesome it was.

"This is bad... It won't be easy to even find him like this, let alone arrest him."

Inspector Megure looked distressed.

"I would like to join the investigation."

Yukino said.

She had been struggling these past few days. In the end, she still hadn't told her family about her superpowers.

Because she felt that even with supernatural power, she should actually stay true to her original intentions and follow justice.

And she, who had always been extremely upright, so upright that it was sometimes hard to tolerate, naturally couldn't tolerate Makoto's lawless behavior.

Therefore, Yukino wanted to personally bring Makoto to justice.

That was also the reason she had proactively sought out the police department.

It's just—

Yukino didn't yet know that while she was busy looking for Makoto, he had already stolen her home.
