Many thanks to the people who read this fic, and for staying glued on the recent arc. I really am happy that you like this fic, and though the City Hunter arc didn't meet some of your expectations, I'll make up for it as a new arc is about to commence as our heroes are now back to Tokyo and once more they'll be facing the Greed, as they struck anew.
Moreover, the Kougami Foundation, who has been monitoring both O's and Ankh, finally makes their move and approached our heroes and this is where we pick up the story that left off at the end of last chapter.
In the previous story arc, three things have happened...
O - Ankh and Kyuji are approached by the secretary of a famous publishing company and requests for their help while addressing Ankh as "Shinichi Kudo". Kyuji persuaded Ankh to play along so that they would convince the publisher not to make stories of Shinichi being active in public. Kaito Kuroba secretly followed to see what they are up to, curious to know more about Ankh.
O – While the CEO of the publishing company, Imumura Bugle, originally offered them the job to find Shizuko Imumura, Ankh agreed when told about a chest being unearthed at Hokkaido that contained "silver coins" and he and Kyuji sets off to find it. It is then revealed that private investigators, Ryo Saeba and Kaori Makimura are also after Shizuko, being approached by Koji Imumura earlier to find his daughter, which resulted in a chase that ended up at a cruise liner.
O – Soon a terrorist group hijacks the cruise liner to take the rich passengers hostage and to find the chest as well, and both groups (Ryo Saeba and Ankh) joined forces to defeat the terrorists, with Ankh acquiring 100 Cell Medals and Uva's Core Medal and have returned to Tokyp, only to be greeted by Erika Satonaka of the Kougami Foundation.
Upon arriving back at Tokyo harbor, Kyuji and Ankh left the place and about to head for the Ride Vendor that is stationed there, ready to head back to Agasa's house when another limousine came and the passenger came out. She is Erika Satonaka and she is holding a tablet monitor where the live feed of Kousei Kougami appeared, and greeted both Kyuji and Ankh.
"Greetings. You must be Kyuji Hino and the Greed called Ankh, am I correct?"
"A businessman baking a cake?"
"What kind of joke is this?"
At the monitor, Kougami is seen baking a cake and then makes his speech.
"The meeting of people is a portent to an upcoming birth."
The scene shifts farther where Erika is holding the monitor at one side while at the other side, Kyuji and Ankh are staring at the other side, baffled at what is happening right now.

As Kyuji and Ankh are dumbfounded by what is happening, Kougami, who is shown on the live feed of the monitor, is seen baking a cake while wearing both an apron and business attire yet he seem to be in control of the situation and begin the conversation to keep the two men's curiosity working.
"Let me repeat again…the meeting of people is a portent to an upcoming birth. But…just what will that be?"
As the two are still confused by this, they are unaware that the unexpected meeting with Kougami is actually planned, as it turn out that Kougami had secretly contacted Imumura about a favor, and learning that Shizuko has ran away, he decided to use that as a plot device to lure Ankh and Kyuji to a "chase" where he sent his men to place a chest he got from the Kougami Foundation and "plant" it at Hokkaido while convincing Koji Imumura to contact the two teens and use the chest as a "bait" to entice them into accepting the offer to find and bring back Shizuko.
Although Ryo Saeba's unexpected appearance at Hokkaido altered most of the course of the plan, Kougami is still pleased to see Ankh acquiring one of Uva's Core medals and seeing that Ankh has a "talent" for finding Cell Medals, he felt that now is the time to meet with him and use him as a way to get the medals without much difficulty. Now that he has "faced" Kyuji and Ankh, he uses a "coded" way to entice them to accept his offer which is now underway.
"…and just how will the cake I'm making turn out? Isn't your chest bursting in excitement and expectations?"
"Err…sorry…but I have no idea what you're getting at…"
"Just cut out the pleasantries and tell us what you want!"
But Kougami wasn't intimidated by Ankh's temper, yet he is impressed enough at the Greed who wanted to get to the point, so he decided to end the greeting charade and go straight to the point.
At this point, Erika decided to vut the chase and began to get straight to the point.
"Very well then…back to introductions…the man you are seeing on the monitor is Kousei Kougami…the president of the Kougami Foundation."
While the two stared still, Erika briefly dropped the monitor and took out a box and showed it to them, which Kyuji recognized the contents as a box full of Candroids.
"This isn't much but…please accept them as a token of our first meeting…"
"Th-they're…these are Candroids! Then…you're the one who has been helping us in the past few weeks…! So these are ours now?"
"Yes."
"Thanks!"
As Kyuji went to experiment on the Candroids, he activated them and learned that they are newly-created Batta Candroids, and while he is testing them out, Ankh confronted Kougami, having finally deduced that he is the one who is also after the medals besides the Greed.
"So then…are you the one who is gathering the medals despite being a human yourself?"
"Yes I am."
"How can someone like you could access its power…"
"That's a secret…but…if you wish to get to the point…then I'll be straight with you. I am here to negotiate."
"What? Negotiate?"
"Yes. I wish to share with the medals with you."
"What did you say? Share the Cell Medals with you? Are you kidding me?"
"That is correct. My foundation will offer you free access to our precious equipments such as the Ride Vendors and other weapons…the Candroids included. In exchange, you two will offer the medals you obtained during a battle with a Yummy and/or a Greed. It really is a simple deal, no?"
"…"
"Well…I am not a greedy human myself for I am not asking for all of it. I said a while ago that we would share them…in which I get 70% of the medals you collect…and you get to keep 30 %. Fair deal, no?"
While Kyuji is busy toying with the Batta Candroids, Ankh is irritated at the idea of Kougami getting 70 % of the Cell medals he and O's would obtain in exchange for getting free access to the foundation's weapons and equipments, and he didn't like it one bit and rebukes the offer, and began to head straight for the monitor that Erika is holding.
"You get 70% of the medals, and I get only 30 % you say? Well screw you!"
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
A hail of gunshots struck a foot from where Ankh is standing and looked behind him, where it is shown that Shintaro Goth is hiding behind the bush and is aiming his gun at Ankh, looking poised to shoot him down should things get uglier, though it was clearly a warning shot to get Ankh to halt his assault.
"That is just a warning shot…the next one would be your head if you lay a claw on her."
"You…"
But before the tension would worsen, a Batt Candroid went onto Ankh's shoulder, where it is shown that it is also a communicator that functions like a radio, which Kyuji tests it out. When Kougami asked Kyuji if he is fine with the offer, which he just heard, he readily accepted it, though Ankh isn't receptive of it so Kougami told Erika that they will take their leave while telling Ankh he will give him time to think, and so Erika and Goth leaves the scene as Kyuji and Ankh watched before taking their leave as well.

Elsewhere, the scene shifts towards the border of Tokyo and Shibuya, where a "kogal" is seen leaving a fashion store carrying several bags which contain items that were bought, and it shows that a teenage girl is the one carrying them while several other teenage girls watched her in admiration, as the "kogal" trend is prevalent in Shibuya. The teenage girl who bought the items glanced at her peers and proclaimed to them that she will become the ultimate "Super GAL".
"Listen up, everyone…you already know the drill…in the fashion world of Shibuya…there is only one who is the Super GAL…that is me…Ran Kotobuki! So if you need some advice…if someone is disrupting peace and harmony…or even threaten the fashion sense…just call me…and I'll be there in a flash. So don't feel shy to approach me…and don't hesitate to cheer for me…I'm approachable, you know…"
And so the girls began cheering the girl's name, much to her delight, which the chanting became louder and louder at every seconds.
"RAN…RAN…RAN KOTOBUKI! RAN…RAN…RAN KOTOBUKI! RAN…RAN…RAN KOTOBUKI!"
"SUPER GAL…SUPER GAL…RAN IS THE ULTIMATE SUPER GAL! SUPER GAL…SUPER GAL…RAN IS THE ULTIMATE SUPER GAL! SUPER GAL…SUPER GAL…RAN IS THE ULTIMATE SUPER GAL!"
The girl who made this proclamation and is being cheered upon at is identified as Ran Kotobuki, and she is the current "Super GAL" of Shibuya. As the other girls cheered at her, Ran is looked up to as a role model and is loved by them due to her strong charisma. However, the scene shifts towards the fashion store as another "Kogal" emerged, having bough the same fashion items THREE TIMES more than what Ran bought and this teenage girl appeared to be wealthy.
Like Ran Kotobuki, this teenage girl is also being adored due to being a rival "Super GAL" and is thus, a rival to Ran. She is identified as Mami Honda, and is once known as the "Queen of Ikebukuro" as she was once a reigning "kogal" at Toshima, Tokyo, which is a commercial and entertainment district. As Ran and Mami crossed paths, they had a staring contest before exchanging words, which the other teenage girls are anticipating to see a "word war" between the two.
"Better enjoy your moment, Kotobuki…because sooner or later…I will be the new Queen of this town…and the new Super GAL…"
"I doubt it once you run out of money buying things that doesn't require that many…"
"Hah! You're just jealous…"
"Who needs money when I got the brains…"
"Brains of a female chimpanzee…"
"What was that, you shopping baboon?"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SHOPPING BABOON?"
Amid the "chaos" that is happening right now, the scene shifts to another teenage girl standing on the opposite side of the sidewalk, watching the two "Super GALs" quarreling, and she is smirking rather deviously as she appeared to have something wicked on her mind, and as she is standing in front of a glass window of an empty store, the scene zooms at the girl's reflection, where it showed that the Greed form of the girl, which is actually Mezuru, which she is right now in a human guise. As the crowd gathers, Mezuru took her leave, feeling she has seen enough and is now awaiting for "what will happen next".
"Looks like I did the right thing by coming here…and having found my "prospect", I managed to use her as a host to my new Yummy…I do hope that my new one would fare better than the ones that hatched several weeks back at Hinamizawa Village…at least here there aren't any "syndromes" that causes one to do some formication…"

At the Agasa house, Kyuji is greeted by Hiroshi Agasa and Shiho Miyano, who immediately told them that Ran Mori has found out about Shinichi's current situation, which made him a bit nervous, but then Ran shows up and approaches Kyuji, asking him for an explanation about what really happened to Shinichi. After a minute of silence, Kyuji led Ran out of the house and went to the garden area and there he slowly told her about the details and circumstances surrounding Ankh, the Greed and Shinichi's current condition.
After about 30 minutes she came to an understanding and accepted what happened, and are about to head back inside when she saw Ankh about to steal a child's ice cream bar, so she yanked him away and began to berate the Greed for his actions, however, Ankh tries to rebut but he soon realized that he is in another compromising position when she overpowered him with her karate chops and other moves.
"You inhuman idiot! What you're doing isn't nice! I forbid you to steal food from children! And since you're attached to Shinichi's body…you'll have to do things the human way!"
"Stay out of this you wench!"
"Who are you calling a "wench"?"
"You are, wench!"
"AAAAIIIYYYAAAHHH!"
KA-PLAG!
SKA-PLAG!
WHA-KA-PLAG!
"KARATE CHOP! KARATE KICK! ROUNDHOUSE KICK! BACK ELBOW!"
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Kyuji…! Do something about this wench!"
"…"
Kyuji is shocked to see this but is nevertheless pleased that things would go well, while Ankh is grumbling that he will be stuck like this for the time being.
To Be Continued…
Aitsu by Dicot
(Opening Song from Super GALS!)
Saikin boku wa nani o suru koto ni mo aitsu no kao ga detekuru
Nijuuyo jikan to iu gisshiri no jikan mo aitsu ga shimete shimatta
Saa shigoto o hajimeyou dakedo aitsu jama o shite shimau
Bari bari bari bari no shigoto ningen desu
Dakedo boku wa mou aitsu de seihasareteita

Aitsu de ippai ni naru
Tonikaku ima wa aitsu ga ite kurenai to boku wa nanimo dekinai
Aitsu ga boku no naki ni iru iru iru iru iru iru iru
While the cast of Detective Conan gets a bit expanded given Ran Mori's appearance and that she is going to keep an eye on Ankh, the arc is going to get "fashionable" with the inclusion of the characters from the manga/anime "Super GALS!", but with Mezuru seen among the crowd, it is likely that one of the two Super GALs may have become the next host to spawn a Yummy, and that would mean trouble for Shibuya.
Ankh is pissed off as hell, and there are several reasons why:
- He still haven't found his OWN set of Core Medals;
- Splitting the Cell Medals which he only gets 30% while giving away 70% which he detests;
- Getting beaten up by Ran Mori as she puts a stop to his ice cream-stealing antics...
And since this arc involves the Super GALS!, a new ending theme is used here, and you already knew what song is used here...
Preview:
Mezuru decides to try her luck in taking on both Ankh and O's, while Ai Haibara decided to take Kyuji's words and starts investigating the Shibuya area which she and the others believe that a Yummy is hiding in one of the Super GALs' place. But can her detective skills be on par with Shinichi?
Speaking of Shinichi, his body is still being controlled by Ankh, and the Greed uses Shinichi's talent to find Kousei Kougami, but will he be able to?
