Start By Becoming A Mangaka
Chapter 611: Genta Is Brave!

Yuuki had asked his father to help him sue the department store for the safety matter. There were a lot of witnesses and there was also evidence there.

"Is it okay to treat us sushi?" Ayumi asked with drool on her mouth.

"Sure, you can eat whatever you want," Yuuki said.

"This guy is a tycoon, you don't need to worry," Haibara said.

"Tycoon? What is that? Is it delicious?" Genta asked. Even though he didn't have an appetite before, it was different when there was sushi in front of him.

"Tycoon is someone who is very rich," Mitsuhiko said.

"What?! You can eat a lot of Unagi (Very expensive freshwater eel)!" Genta was surprised.

'Why should he buy a lot of Unagi?' They thought inwardly.

"Enough about me, what are you guys doing here?" Yuuki asked.

"We're doing a Detective Boys activity!" Mitsuhiko and Ayumi said.

"Oh, Detective Boys' activity? What is the case?" Utaha asked with a curious expression.

"I - I saw the serial purse snatcher!?" Genta said with a scared expression.

"Eh??"

They were startled when they heard him.

Conan opened his phone and searched the picture of the serial purse snatcher. He showed it to him and asked, "Is it him?"

"Yes, that's him, his appearance is similar to the person that I have seen before," Genta nodded.

"Hmm, I have read the news about this person, this person has targeted a lot of old people and women, the police is very incompetent to let this person out around the town," Utaha shook her head.

"Did you tell the police?" Ayumi asked.

"Yeah, about a week later, since there was no portrait yet when I saw the guy but I forgot where I saw the guy," Genta said and ate the salmon sushi in front of him. He chewed very fast and continued, "But I found a guy who saw the culprit along with me."

"Along with you?" Conan asked.

"Yeah, 5 days ago, there was another one of those purse-snatching cases, so I went to take a peek and I found him along with the crowd...." Genta said with a worried expression and added, "The blonde guy next to me when I saw the culprit's face!"

"And? What happened?" Haibara asked.

"Of course, I pulled that guy's hand and brought him to where the policemen were! 'This bro knows where I saw the culprit's face!', I told them," Genta said and added, "But that guy replied, 'You don't know me and you know no culprit...'"

"Did you see the culprit with that blonde guy?" Yuuki asked.

"Yeah, it seemed that guy was sitting next to me when I saw the culprit so I'm sure he must've seen him..." Genta said with an unsure expression.

"It'd seem?" Yuuki raised his eyebrow.

"I was sleepy then..." Genta said and added, "And when I woke up that blonde guy was next to me!"

"You're too careless," Utaha said and no one refuted her.

"And where was the culprit?" Haibara asked.

Genta tried to remember, "I feel like he was there or wasn't there...."

"You really don't remember where it was?" Utaha asked with a strange expression. She really felt that this fat kid was very careless.

"Y - yeah..." Genta said and suddenly his head was hit, "Ouch! Big sister! What are you doing?!" He looked at Utaha with an angry expression.

"I have read that hitting someone's head can make them remember something," Utaha said.

"Oh, I have read that too," Haibara gave him a smile and added, "We should hit his head until he remembers where he has seen the culprit."

"N - no!!!" Genta protected his head.

Yuuki wanted to laugh, "Alright, enough of teasing him, so you tell us that you forget where you have seen the culprit a week ago, but you have forgotten the location of that place since you're sleepy?"

"Yes," Genta felt that Yuuki was really kind since he could stop both Haibara and Utaha.

"Sitting in a seat and sleepy, hmm, theater?" Mitsuhiko thought.

"Or a train?" Ayumi thought.

"Given the story flow of your story, it'd seem like the person who is chasing you, Kojima-kun is the purse snatcher," Haibara said.

"Sheesh, why didn't you tell the police? That someone's trying to kill you," Conan asked.

Genta suddenly had a scary expression, "I - I got a phone call, 'if you let it be known that you saw me, I'll kill you! You, your buds, and family, gonna kill them all!!"

Yuuki wasn't sure but he felt that he had heard 'Gonna catch them all!!'. He shook his head and said, "Do you want me to take care of this?"

"What do you mean?" Genta asked.

"I can make him into fish food in the sea if you want," Yuuki said.

"Eh? He is human! How can he become fish food?" Mitsuhiko asked.

Only Conan, Utaha, and Haibara knew his meaning.

"Still, that's why you don't tell anyone," Ayumi said.

"You're a really brave kid," Yuuki said while caressing Genta's smooth head. He felt that someone who was bald was really good to be touched.

"T - thanks," Genta felt that his eyes were red when he was praised. He had been scared for a few days and it felt nice when someone was praising him.

"But that's bad, if he knows the phone number then he probably knows the address too," Utaha said with a worried expression.

"Yeah, if we rush into the police all of a sudden, they might get the wrong idea that he's remembered it all and we can't predict what he'll do," Conan said and looked around, "He might be in this store keeping an eye on us, too."

"Eehhhh!!" Ayumi was startled.

"And? You don't remember any other clues that might help us replace the culprit?" Haibara asked.

"I told the policeman that he was smoking using his left hand," Genta said.

"So the culprit is left-handed!" Mitsuhiko said.

Genta rubbed his chin, "He also had an odd t-shirt black cloth with a white skull..." He tried to remember until he suddenly shouted while pointing at something, "Aaahhhh!!!"

They were startled and turned toward seeing what could make him have that kind of expression.
