章 82: **Chapter 82: The Rice Flower Batman**
From Hideaki Nakajima's words, Fujino finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that Manten Hall was planning to release a new detective game and wanted to invite him to be the supervisor.
However, after some consideration, Fujino decisively refused.
The reason was simple: this matter was related to the Black Organization.
If Fujino remembered correctly, this man named Nakajima was supposed to make a deal with Tequila on the day of the Manten Hall game release event.
But because Tequila took the wrong box, he ended up being blown to pieces.
Fujino had already caught the attention of the Black Organization, and if he went to Manten Hall to participate in the game supervision...
If the incident of Tequila's explosion was blamed on him by the Black Organization, it would be a big trouble.
…
A few days later.
Although the threat from the Black Organization remained, as Fujino had guessed, possibly out of fear, they hadn't made any moves.
So, in these few days, he enjoyed a long-lost daily routine.
Of course, there were no system tasks triggered.
Without system tasks, he could only find ways to improve his existing professional skills.
Going to school daily to grind proficiency points, learning swordsmanship at Konoha Sword Dojo after school to strengthen his body.
At night, he would put on an assassin's robe, wear a Batman mask, and patrol the streets of Rice Flower Town as a vigilante.
In this crime-ridden town, it's easy to grind proficiency points as a combat expert.
Every night out, he could earn at least twenty proficiency points.
As of today, he had upgraded his combat expert profession to intermediate level, and after leveling up, he gained a new skill: [Combat Insight].
**[Martial Artist: Intermediate (10–300)
Professional Skills:
- Basic Combat Knowledge (fundamental fighting techniques)
- Combat Expert (Intermediate: increases host's strength by 40%)
- Combat Perception (Beginner: increases host's perception ability by 20%)
- Combat Insight (During combat, the host has a 10% chance to predict the opponent's moves)]**
Fujino experienced this move prediction skill on the night he first upgraded.
It's a freakish skill that allows predicting others' actions.
Unfortunately, it cannot be upgraded and only has a 10% probability.
Apart from upgrading the martial artist profession, Fujino also improved his cooking profession while making meals these days, upgrading it to intermediate.
**[Chef: Intermediate (upgrade requires 20–300)
Specialty Chef (Intermediate: any food made by the host has a 10% chance of gaining a random enhancement)]**
At Fujino's home, in the bedroom.
**[Crime rate in Rice Flower Town drops significantly! The reason is...]
[Who is the Rice Flower Batman? Appearing suddenly on dark, windy nights to strike down criminals in Rice Flower Town!]
[Is it legal for Rice Flower Batman to use vigilante justice when the police can't reduce the crime rate?]
[The monk of Yama Temple, who was captured by Rice Flower Batman a while ago, suffers from severe schizophrenia and was admitted to Aoyama Psychiatric Hospital a few days ago for Dr. Fukuyama's latest treatment]**
Fujino sat on the sofa, reading today's newspaper, with a strange expression on his face.
The head monk of Yama Temple, who was captured by Rice Flower Batman, was admitted to Aoyama Psychiatric Hospital with severe schizophrenia?
He didn't think he did anything significant...
Just put a sack over the guy's head and hit him with a wooden sword all night, right?
And threw a few bat-shaped darts at him.
How did he end up with schizophrenia?
And the previous case of Numaguchi Kazuhiro.
Clearly, he also didn't do much, just subjected him to some mental and physical torment.
He heard that later Numaguchi was also diagnosed with mental illness.
Fujino shook his head and couldn't help but sigh, "People's mental endurance is too weak these days."
After sighing, Fujino took out his phone and glanced at today's date.
It was Monday.
Hmm, yesterday was Wednesday.
Very Conan-esque.
Accustomed to the Conan timeline, Fujino washed up, put on his school uniform, and headed to the underground garage.
"It's not easy."
Staring at the newly refurbished motorcycle in the parking spot, Fujino couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This motorcycle, bought just a few days ago, was severely damaged in an assassination attempt.
Fortunately, he had purchased insurance when buying the motorcycle.
So, just yesterday, the newly refurbished motorcycle was delivered to his home.
Now, he could ride his motorcycle again.
After sighing, Fujino rode his motorcycle to Teitan High School.
"Good morning, senpai!"
"Good morning, senpai!"
As soon as he arrived at school, Sonoko and Ran came over to greet him cheerfully.
In Class 2B, Fujino was most familiar with these two girls.
To some extent, they could be considered friends.
At lunchtime, Fujino, Ran, and Sonoko gathered together.
Sonoko mysteriously said to Fujino and Ran, "Hey, Ran, Fujino-senpai, have you heard the recent rumors?"
"Rumors, what rumors?"
Ran tilted her head, her hair dancing lightly, showing confusion about Sonoko's words.
"It's the recent Rice Flower Batman rumor."
Ran seemed puzzled, "Rice Flower Batman?"
"You don't know?"
Sonoko was surprised at Ran's puzzled look.
Then she explained, "Rice Flower Batman is a person who recently appeared in Rice Flower Town, wearing a white robe and a bat mask."
"A person wearing a Batman mask?"
Ran asked in confusion.
After thinking for a moment, she recalled the bandaged man, Takahashi, from the bandaged mansion.
She showed a trace of fear and asked Sonoko softly, "Is he like that bandaged guy at your villa before?"
"No."
Sonoko shook her head and explained with a laugh, "Unlike Takahashi, who wanted to kill people, Rice Flower Batman is a good guy who punishes evil and promotes good."
Ran asked in confusion, "Punishes evil and promotes good?"
"Exactly."
Sonoko nodded and stood up, pretending to be mysterious, "Every dark and windy night, Rice Flower Batman roams Rice Flower Town. If he finds anyone committing robbery or stalking girls, he suddenly appears from the shadows and uses his powerful fighting skills to subdue them, usually beating them into the hospital."
"Although it's violent, due to the legend of Rice Flower Batman, the crime rate in Rice Flower Town has reduced significantly recently."
"Although it's wrong to beat people up, the person pretending to be Batman is indeed a good person."
Ran nodded in agreement.
Fujino: "..."
Sitting beside them, Fujino listened to their conversation with a strange expression.
Rice Flower Batman was his alter ego.
Ran said Rice Flower Batman was a good person.
Doesn't that mean...
He got a good guy card?
Sorry, I stayed up late revising, overslept, and updated late today.
