I, Shinichiro Sano, am a traveler with a system. Although the tasks from the system are all strange, the rewards are even more...refreshingly unique. For example, a hammer that can't cause any damage, a scooter that goes incredibly fast, a coat that makes you lose your sense of direction after wearing it, sunglasses that make it impossible to tell humans from animals within a radius of five hundred meters, and so on... What? You're asking how I can live better in this world? Shinichiro Sano chuckles and puts on a disguise: In the world of rivers and lakes, one cannot avoid getting caught. If you want to avoid getting caught, you have to create multiple identities. The more disguises I have, the more amusing it is. I'll be the one waving the flag for the liquor factory. When Shuichi Akai asked Conan how he views the Black Organization, Conan responded like this: The Black Organization? Although they may act violently, they're all good people... Wait, which Black Organization are you referring to?
