After becoming a doctor in the Demon Slayer world and treating many patients, then a novelist in the Naruto world writing with enthusiasm, I was quite tired. So, thinking of taking a short vacation, I decided to head to the Conan world.

[You have acquired 12,527 points as a reward for progressing in Naruto.]
This ti, the Naruto reward was quite small. I could roughly guess why—probably because I hadn't yet entered the main story. The bond level rewards seed to make up most of it.
"Status window!"

Again, I used magic to raise my luck and started a 50-pull.

[(SS) Straw Doll Technique]
A long-range curse technique using straw dolls, hamrs, and nails imbued with curses.
[(A) Craftsmanship]
Improves the quality and completeness when creating or shaping objects.
"Hmm... Size manipulation and the Straw Doll Technique..."
Size manipulation felt like a dud—not necessary. 'Honestly, if I could get Pym Particles from the Marvel world, I wouldn't need this. So the only real gain is the Straw Doll Technique?'
Luck wasn't on my side this ti. Still, the Straw Doll Technique, if used well, could be quite overpowered.
This technique is used by Nobara Kugisaki from 'Jujutsu Kaisen'. The scary part is that it can implent the 'sure-hit effect' of a Domain Expansion in a standard technique and can even target the opponent's soul. Theoretically, with enough skill, it could neutralize or instantly defeat even the strongest sorcerer, Sukuna.
That sounds like the ultimate technique, but of course, it has weaknesses. It requires a part of the target's body as a dium, and tools like a hamr, nails, and a cursed doll are needed. Also, if the target is overwhelmingly stronger, it has little effect, and after one use, your hand is revealed, and you could be tracked. In other words, if the first strike isn't fatal, you might be in trouble.
'But I have my inventory, and there are almost no beings stronger than , so it's quite useful.'
One interesting thing is that [Weightlessness] is A-rank. Even by the original work's standards, that seems excessive. Testing it on objects in the room, unlike Ochaco's, I could nullify gravity with just one finger.
'Is it because of the rank? Still, I'll seal it for now.'
This ability could cause a major accident if used unconsciously on objects or people, so I kept it turned OFF. Floating things was already possible with [Telekinesis], so I figured I could use it for ability fusion later.
And the [Craftsmanship] ability appeared. Maybe it was a sign to make and sell figures.
'I'll hold onto it; it might co in handy soday.'
I also checked the items. I got: [Appearance Change Ticket], [Elixir] x2, [Penalty Removal Ticket], [Companion Entry Ticket]. For food: [Delicious Random Cake] x100.
'Oh~ I got an [Appearance Change Ticket].'
I thought I'd never see one again, so it was a welco surprise. Not that I needed it, with [Haki Infusion] and [Transformation] already. It was just nice to have.
Equipnt was still useless, so I skipped it. Other unusual items included [Big Breast Pill] x10, [Diet 10kg] x10, [Giant Penis Pill] x10, [Birthing Simulator] x10, [Humiliation Chair] x10, among which two were things you'd expect to see in an OB-GYN office.
'Is this telling to play doctor?'
Among the items from creative works, one piqued my interest: the 'Tumbler' from 'Batman: The Dark Knight'. As soon as I saw it, I went outside, drove it around Altea (the Starcraft base).
"I really like this."
I was so pleased with the Tumbler that I began modifying it. I replaced all the exterior panels with vibranium, and swapped the propulsion system for a Marvel-tech plasma thruster. I improved the interior comfort, replaced it with digital displays, and added an active camouflage panel. Then I used [Material Duplication] to make several copies and stored them in my inventory.
"I'm going to enjoy riding this in other worlds."
Finally, after checking on Altea and finding no problems, I clicked on 'Detective Conan'. I arrived at my house in the Conan world.
'This place is still peaceful.'
It had been a while, so I looked around the house. The modified bike was still there, and the maids were all well. Now, I took out all the fake talismans from my inventory and disposed of them. With my [Talisman Art] ability, I began making real ones. Now, with [Necromancy] and [Barrier] abilities, I could even act as a real onmyoji.
And since this world was ant for relaxation, I considered buying a yacht. There was an interesting fact: in Japan, you need to be 18 to drive a car, but you can get a type 2 small vessel license at 16. The restriction is that you can only operate it within Japan, but the advantage is that you can freely operate yachts up to 20 tons.
'I don't know why they set it up like that. Yacht races, maybe?'
Another interesting thing was the tax on luxury yachts. If the price exceeds 300 million yen, a heavy tax of 10.02% acquisition tax and 5% property tax applies. In other words, while you can own a yacht over 20 tons, the reason Japanese people usually buy yachts under 10 tons is precisely this heavy tax.
'This is a headache.'
So I decided to take a shortcut. I would buy a used 18-ton luxury yacht to reduce the tax and then modify it myself. That would solve everything.
'Why buy an inconvenient 10-ton yacht?' you might ask. But under 10 tons, there's only one room. Over 10 tons, there are two. If it were just Ran and , it would be fine, but with Kogoro and Conan in tow, two rooms were essential.
So I rode my bike around yacht dealerships and imdiately bought a used luxury yacht, the Italian-made 'Azimut Atlantis 45'. I would need to take a short break from school to get the license, so I told Ran and Sonoko about my plan. Seeing them after so long felt great.
"What? You're getting a small vessel operator's license?"
"Yeah. So I might not be able to co to school for a week. I already told the teacher."
Even if I tried to get the license as fast as possible, I had to complete the required training hours, so it couldn't be helped.
"Oh~ So can we ride the yacht you drive, Jin?"
Sonoko, who had been listening, said with anticipation.
"Of course. Bring your swimsuits."
"Huh? You're buying a yacht too?"
Ran was quite surprised. She still wasn't used to rich people's conversations.
"Of course. I'm not getting the license just for decoration."
"B-But aren't yachts incredibly expensive?"
"They are. Including taxes, about 180 million yen."
"What?!"
Ran was shocked again.
"I can't keep up with this conversation... I honestly don't even know how much money Jin has. I don't know if this is excessive spending or not…"
"Ah, don't worry about that. I can afford it. I earn quite a bit."
Then Sonoko chid in. "Right, Jin earns a lot, so don't worry. All we need to do is buy cute swimsuits~!"
"R-Right..."
Actually, the biggest expenses for a luxury yacht are insurance and dock fees. But I didn't plan to pay dock fees. I could just take it out of my inventory whenever I needed it.
So the next day, I took ti off from school and began training at a boat license school. People there recognized and asked for autographs, which was annoying, but since there weren't many students, it died down after two days.
"Perfect. You're amazing. I think you're the best driver among all the students I've seen."
"Haha, thank you."
After about three days, the course was complete. Only the license issuance remained. Unlike in Korea, where you get it imdiately, here it takes about five days. So I spent ti inspecting the yacht, and when the promised week passed, I returned to school.
"You're back. Did you get it?"
"Yeah, just waiting for the license."
"Wow~ Congratulations!"
Ran was overjoyed and congratulated . Then she shyly handed a notebook.
"Huh? What's this?"
"Since you missed class, I took notes for you."
"Oh~ Thank you. I'm touched."
The notebook contained neatly handwritten notes, divided by day. The quality was beyond what ordinary effort could produce.
"Wow~ I should treasure this."
"Heheh, it's no big deal. I have to study anyway."
Ran was very embarrassed. Sonoko, looking sour, said, "You two are so sickening. We're at school. Get a room."
"Haha, r-right."
Honestly, I felt a bit guilty. I had bought the luxury yacht purely for fun in the Conan world, yet Ran had gone to such lengths for .
'I should treat her well.'
Three days later, the license was finally issued. From that day, as soon as school ended, I headed to a deserted island on my yacht and began modifications. I duplicated the yacht with [Material Duplication] and started modifying. One I kept as-is for the mandatory periodic inspections, and the other I equipped with an arc reactor so it could run without fuel.
To reduce seasickness, I couldn't do much about forward-backward rocking, but I upgraded the yacht's lower hull with cutting-edge technology to control lateral tilt. The interior was also completely remodeled to be luxurious and clean.
'Hmm... This should be enough.'
I had pre-made parts, and with the help of 'Nano', and [Material Manipulation] and [Control] both EX-rank, the modifications didn't take as long as expected.
'Now I can finally relax.'
I was returning ho, satisfied, when my manager called.
· Jin, a big client has co in. The Chairman of the Nagato Group himself placed a request.
"Huh? The Nagato Group?"
· It's a request to find a woman. For the details, it's better to et in person.
I thought about refusing to go on the trip, but considering the Chairman of the Nagato Group was asking to find a woman, this must be the 'Famous Family Serial Murder' case. I couldn't ignore it.
"I see. Understood."
