On the way back.
Toru Amuro was still the driver, Vodka sat in the passenger seat, and Asakura Makoto and Gin sat in the back seat.
"do you know?"
Asakura sat comfortably and said as if he suddenly thought of something interesting: "I heard that when driving, the driver will subconsciously turn when faced with an unexpected situation to expose the co-pilot to danger."
"..." Vodka, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned dark.
"Brandy."
Gin felt that his forehead was a little swollen. Just like Rum felt that Brandy wanted to talk to him, Gin also felt that Asakura was inexplicably saying that negotiations would not be so simple.
He was still thinking about whether some meaningful agreement could be reached during the negotiations, but——
Listening to the entire conversation in silence, he only wished he could not stop his previous self. If he had the time to sit down and negotiate, it would be better to let him empty the ammunition on the plane.
"That's almost enough."
"Uh-huh." Asakura shrugged, calmed down, took out his phone and sent an email to the person opposite.
Gin continued to relax with his eyes closed, Vodka was a little disappointed because he didn't touch the steering wheel, and Toru Amuro concentrated on driving the car.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the car became silent.
After sitting in the car and feeling it for a while, the full-time driver Vodka looked at the driver's seat. It is said that laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the door. With his superb driving skills, he rarely felt a sense of threat from his colleagues in the organization.
This man's driving skills are no less than mine.
But then I thought about it, Bourbon was Brandy's subordinate, and it was impossible to compete with him for the gin driver's position, so the sense of threat dissipated and turned into recognition between people with the same stand-in ability.
This feeling is probably the same as Kudo Shinichi's belief that those who like Sherlock Holmes are not bad people, and those who are good at driving will be the talents of the organization.
Even though it's a little ridiculous, that's pretty much it.
After the atmosphere in the car calmed down for a while, Asakura's fingers stopped tapping the keyboard like flying, and he looked at the remaining four people. The light of the phone screen reflected the somewhat unpredictable expression on his face.
"you......"
"Would you like to take a trip to see the reality of this world?"
"What?"
Gin opened his eyes and asked.
The reality of the world, what happened to Brandy again.
"Do the animals next door know about the Pandora's Stone they are pursuing? Let's go and see if it exists -"
"magic."
At the end of the 20th century, the explosive development of science made ignorance far away from human cognition at an extremely fast speed. Magic became dross and was swept into the garbage dump and basically settled down.
If someone else was talking about magic in front of Gin, he would have to let that person see the power of science to some extent, but what Brandy said...he thought it wouldn't hurt to go and have a look.
"Since it has something to do with those guys, let's take a look."
"Okay, Bourbon, turn right ahead and go all the way to the desert."
...
Koizumi Anko wore a standard witch suit, a pointed hat with a wide brim, and a mage robe with red and gold as the main colors. She sat sideways on a flying broom with her legs together, observing from a high position the dark ravine that suddenly appeared in the desert.
In the ravine, a low and miserable moan occasionally came.
This is the gateway to the Kingdom of the Dead in Egyptian mythology and legend. It was once the heyday of ancient magic and the territory of the great magician Osiris. However, with the advent of the Age of Ending Law, the outer seal was lifted, and the magic power that was sealed inside remained. Spread out.
Of course, this country of the dead cannot make any waves even in this world. After losing the seal, it will gradually disappear from this world due to the fading of magic.
It’s just that if this process of disappearance is discovered by ordinary people, the consequences will be more serious.
The setting of magic in this world is different from that in the fantasy world. The magic here is a product based on human beings' ignorant worldview, and gains power through people's fantasy of the world.

In other words, as humans gain a deeper understanding of the world and their illusions are shattered, magic will fade away.
The more humans understand the wonders of being watched, the more their power disappears.
The reason why Koizumi Anko came to stop him was because she wanted to preserve the inheritance of magic so that she would not become an ordinary person.
"It sucks."
Originally, Koizumi Hongzi planned to get help from the local magic community and borrow one or two useful magic props to strengthen her magic power. However, when she visited the most famous fortune teller, she was stopped by a dark-looking island native and was unable to make the trip. .
Later, she wanted to find time to contact him again, but found that the fortune teller had already boarded a plane to go abroad, leaving her only a message that everything would go well.
This kind of nagging guy is really annoying!
Koizumi Anko looked at the scars on the ground and thought about setting up a repellent barrier so that ordinary people couldn't find it.
Just wait until the residue inside the seal dissipates naturally.
As for the Kingdom of the Dead, which may cause consequences similar to a smaller version of the Ten Plagues of Egypt, the effect is not as good as the original version anyway, and not many people will die.
Just as heaven and man were fighting in her heart, one side said let's just leave it like this, and the other side said okay, okay, when an off-road vehicle came from a distance.
Yes, in order to facilitate movement in the desert, Asakura Shin and the others changed to a car.
In the empty desert, the trajectory of the car was particularly obvious, and Koizumi Anko saw their arrival at a glance.
At this time, she frowned, recited a few awkward spells in a low voice, and then shot an exorcism spell, hitting the target directly.
However, the effect of this spell only caused the car to shake slightly before it resumed driving.
invalid?
This result reminded Koizumi Hongzi of the weirdo she met.
It can’t be that guy again—
The guy here refers to Toru Amuro. Another Brandy who could resist her control was ignored by her because his disguise was too ordinary.
"What was that just now?"
Gin suddenly broke free from the effects of magic, and within a second, Brandy and Bourbon woke up one after another.
Only Vodka was confused and wanted to get out of the high-speed SUV.
After waking up, Gin gave his little brother a slap with a cold face to make him wake up too.
"Brother, what happened? What's going on? My face hurts." Vodka turned around and stared at Brandy.
The appearance of magic only broke Vodka's world view among the four people present.
Toru Amuro and Anko Koizumi had a fight. Gin came into contact with some traces when investigating Rum. Asakura Shin knew about the existence of Anko Koizumi from the beginning.
"That's magic."
As an insider, Asakura said to others.
"Did you see that man flying in the sky?"
He pointed at Koizumi Hongzi, "Catch her later and put her in the trunk, and then study her carefully when we get back."
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
The setting of magic is not important. Magic Kaito and Detective Conan have different settings for Koizumi Anko, so I simply thought of a setting myself to facilitate the exit of magic. Anyway, except for Koizumi Anko, there will be no one in the future. There will be other magicians appearing.
