Chapter 71: Magic Puppet Technique

Akaso Kaze is too lazy to bother with this unconvinced little detective.

He is using his intent to fiddle with Ikeda Chikako's soul in the space.

The head is a head, the arms are arms, the legs are legs, all can move.

But they can no longer be combined, cannot be coordinated, and she can't even stand up.

Takahashi Ryoichi didn't use a scalpel to cut her; he used an axe.

Too much bone is missing at the break, and they can't be reconnected.

Akaso Kaze thinks this girl's name was definitely chosen incorrectly.

"Support frame," listen to that name; it falls apart as soon as you take it apart.

What should he use to connect her body?

Looking around at the items in the space, Akaso Kaze has an idea.

First, he takes a bundle of branches.

These branches were collected using prediction magic and are suitable materials for making magic wands.

Using the table knife brought in by Negishi Masaki, he cuts several branches of appropriate size and thickness.

Then he uses the necklace string brought in by Kishida to connect them, making a puppet shape.

Both the string and the branches are things suitable for souls to attach to.

It is very easy to thread Ikeda Chikako's soul's limbs and body onto them.

Ikeda Chikako's soul moves her limbs, turns her head twice, and immediately shows a joyful expression.

Finally, she looks like a proper soul.

【Ding, host is self-taught and has created a magic puppet. Reward obtained: Magic Puppet Technique (Basic).】

【Magic Puppet Technique (Basic): Uses magic threads to control puppets or corpses for combat. The host can manufacture puppets themselves and control them.】

Magic Puppet Technique!

Akaso Kaze's intent immediately focuses on Chikako's soul.

Threads made of magic power extend from the void, connecting to the soul's limbs, body, and head.

The soul immediately acts involuntarily according to Akaso Kaze's commands.

At ease, attention, turn the head twice, do the splits...

Chikako's soul swells up in humiliation.

Sizzle.

She shrinks again in humiliation.

In the blink of an eye, five days have passed since the mountain villa case.

The dates in this world are very chaotic.

Today is the 1st, tomorrow might be the 31st.

Today is Monday, tomorrow might be the weekend.

So, most of the times Akaso Kaze makes appointments with people are for the same day.

Especially when making an appointment with someone who might die at any time, he cannot break the appointment.

Even if it is snowing heavily, Akaso Kaze has to go out.

He goes downstairs and is about to drive when he sees a chubby woman saying goodbye to Conan downstairs at Mori Kogoro's place.

"Thank you for taking care of Conan these days; I will definitely come to thank you again another day."

Huh, the Death God is on the move; could there be another soul to collect?

Seeing the woman take Conan away, Akaso Kaze greets them.

"Ran, where is Conan going?"

"Akaso-san, you're going out? That was Conan's mother just now, taking Conan away."

"Conan's mother?"

Wait! Isn't Conan actually Washing Machine (Shinichi)?

Edogawa Conan is just a fake identity, where would he have a mother?

"That's right, Conan's mother is named Edogawa Fumiyo, she's an aunt who looks very kind." Ran says.

"Edogawa Fumiyo?" Akaso Kaze suddenly realizes.

He remembers.

This is Conan the brat's parents pretending to be people from the Black Organization, kidnapping him and playing a big prank on him.

Tsk tsk! To have such a pair of prankster parents, it's truly not easy for Conan the brat to survive.

No soul, then it's not interesting.

Akaso Kaze smacks his lips, says goodbye to Ran, and gets in the car.

Half an hour later, at the home of Maru Denjiro, chairman of the Maru Group.

Akaso Kaze looks at the Japanese sword flashing with cold light in front of him.

"Akaso-sensei, this Kikuchiyo is a famous sword passed down through generations in a family. I obtained it with great difficulty, and I won't sell it for less than 20 million yen."

Just like the European longsword obtained last time.

This sword is also a naturally formed magic tool.

It should have been formed by years of killing on the battlefield.

The blade carries a very dense aura of death.

As long as it is converted into magic power, it can become a magic tool.

In the island country, carrying a European longsword is too conspicuous; a Japanese sword would be much better.

Looking at the shrewd-looking Maru Denjiro, Akaso Kaze smiles faintly.

"Maru-san, I see your forehead is dark; you will definitely have a bloody disaster in the near future."

"Would you like to trade this Kikuchiyo for one of my talismans?"

Maru Denjiro is stunned upon hearing this.

Baka, one talisman for 20 million?

You are even darker than me.

At the very least, this is a precious sword; that guy Suwa Yuji borrowed a lot of money from me to exchange for it.

You want to exchange it for a talisman you drew casually? You're thinking too beautifully.

He shakes his head repeatedly, "Sorry, Akaso-sensei, I won't sell it for less than 20 million."

Akaso Kaze smiles dismissively.

He wanted to save your life for the sake of the magic tool, but since you don't value it, forget it.

He casually takes out a check and writes 20 million for him.

He takes the Kikuchiyo and leaves.

You won't even trade 20 million for your life; when you end up under my command in the future, I'll show you what's coming.
