BWDC:SDDK Chapter 133: One of the Vigilante Principles is No Sleep, and Unlimited Donuts!
After Daisuke Torakura's death, Etsuko Torakura became noticeably more cheerful.
She invited Mouri Kogoro and the others to stay longer at the villa. However, Mouri Kogoro had no intention of lingering, just as he hadn't stayed long at the Nagatomo Group's villa before.
What if Etsuko Torakura suddenly had a change of heart and tried to pick a fight with Ren Ichimonji because he persuaded Shunsuke Tadokoro to surrender?
--- Don't say it's impossible; nothing is impossible for the "god-tier" residents of Beika Town.
If that really happened, wouldn't Etsuko Torakura be in extreme danger?
Mouri Kogoro knew all too well that when this bastard Ren Ichimonji starts throwing hands, he truly doesn't care if the opponent is male or female.
He hits men with heavy punches, and he hits women with heavy punches just the same.
If Etsuko Torakura really tried to engage in "real-life Mortal Kombat" with Ren Ichimonji, her face would likely be so swollen afterward that not even Tang Bohu's "Pretty Face Restoring Punch" could fix it. It was better to prevent such a cruel event from happening.
On the drive back to Tokyo.
Midway through the trip, Mouri Kogoro moved to the back seat.
Ren Ichimonji was now in the driver's seat.
For no other reason than Mouri Kogoro had only been driving for a short while before he started yawning repeatedly.
By the time they finished dinner and Daisuke Torakura was murdered, it was already 8:00 PM.
The police didn't arrive at the scene until past 11:00 PM, and the investigation didn't wrap up until the early hours of the next morning.
They stayed a bit longer and finally set off around 1:00 AM.
How could Mouri Kogoro not be sleepy?
Mouri Ran was also leaning on Mouri Kogoro's shoulder, half-asleep.
Only Conan, sitting in the passenger seat, was sporting dark circles under his eyes and struggling to stay conscious while watching the high-spirited Ren Ichimonji.
After watching for a while, Conan finally couldn't help but ask,
"I say, why don't you look sleepy at all?"
"I know you're going to say it's because you're Batman, but even if you are Batman, you can't just not sleep, right? How do you manage to work around the clock and still look so full of energy?"
It was unbelievable.
Could this also be solved by Batman's invincible willpower and famous catchphrases?
In response, Ren Ichimonji kept his eyes fixed on the dimly lit road and replied in a low voice,
"Since you've become my Robin, there's something you should know."
"One of our vigilante principles is: no sleep!"
Conan: ?
Who the hell is a vigilante with you?
Who agreed to be your Robin? Does being your Robin mean giving up sleep?
No wonder Batman went through so many generations of Robins in the comics. Could it be that they all made mistakes due to sleep deprivation, got beaten into the hospital by enemies, and had to be replaced?
--- In reality, Ren Ichimonji had drunk a cup of coffee before driving.
Thanks to the constant effect of the Coffee Cup, he was naturally high-spirited.
While the police were investigating, to avoid waste, he had used his once-a-day "One Minute Batman State" to continue reminiscing, hoping to remember some other new Batman technologies.
Ren Ichimonji wasn't greedy.
He would be satisfied with just a few inconspicuous high-tech gadgets from the Bat-family.
Unfortunately, the results of his recollection were unsatisfying.
He saw the conclusion of that previous memory where Batman barged into a villains' bar, and then he realized why he couldn't bring himself to strike Celyne Phis last time ---
That bastard Coffee Cup Batman had fought his way through the villains' bar, only to be surrounded by a group of flirtatious female villains.
Then, he subconsciously triggered the voice line [Hey, want to know my secret identity?], becoming completely infatuated. In the end, Harley Quinn whacked him on the back of the head with a mallet, knocking him out on the spot.
It seemed he was taken to be fed to sharks afterward.
"But, I think I saw Strange's Sling Ring portal... was it an illusion?"
Ren Ichimonji muttered to himself as he recalled that memory.
He must have misseen it. Although it was clear from that Batman's memories that it was a "mash-up" worldview, the possibility of a bastard like Strange hanging out with a "bastard among bastards" like Batman wasn't very high.
No joke, Strange was one of the top-tier bastards in the Marvel universe.
Deadpool once brought a dying person to beg Strange for help, but Strange stubbornly refused, leading to a huge mess. If only Strange's personality were tweaked a bit, the Sorcerer Supreme's publications wouldn't be such a mess.
"Should I also try to recall Oracle's memories when I use the Oracle state back home?"
... Hopefully, the memory doesn't get interrupted by the Joker breaking his legs.
He decided to deliberate further. He knew nothing about computers; even if he watched some memories, he'd just be watching for the sake of it. Just like math—if you don't know it, you just don't know it; it's all incomprehensible!
Suddenly, Conan, forcing himself to stay awake, asked a random question to keep alert,
"Since you said vigilantes have principles, besides not sleeping..."
"Are there any other principles?"
Ren Ichimonji replied casually,
"A certain Batman once said: the principle is unlimited donuts!"
Conan: ?
This Batman you're talking about... is he made of LEGO?
Speechless.
The God of Death was eventually defeated by the Sandman. He leaned back and fell into a peaceful sleep.
3:00 AM.
Unrobing to sleep, the moonlight entered the door. Happily getting up and walking, noting there was no one to share the joy with, he went to 2-chome to find Agasa.
Agasa was also not asleep.
He felt a faint light flickering before his eyes and opened them dizzily.
Seeing that Professor Agasa seemed to be awake, Ren Ichimonji gave a greeting,
"Good evening. How did you sleep tonight?"
Professor Agasa nodded dizzily and replied unclearly,
"Mhm, I slept very well..."
He turned over, wanting to go back to sleep, but then suddenly felt something was wrong.
Professor Agasa: ?
He sat up abruptly, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Ren Ichimonji in shock,
"How did you get in???"
Hearing this, Ren Ichimonji let out a sigh,
"Alas, Lucius."
"I would prefer it if, upon hearing my greeting, your first instinct was to greet me back, rather than shouting 'How did you get in?' How else could I get in? I walked in, of course."
Professor Agasa: ?
Who was Lucius again?
Wait, it doesn't matter who Lucius is! What matters is how you got in!
He looked at the programming computer for Noah's Ark next to Ren Ichimonji.
Seeing that the program was still running, he let out a sigh of relief, lay back down, turned over, and said,
"Well then, good night."
Ren Ichimonji: ?
What a god-tier sense of relaxation.
Professor Agasa, you win.
I admit that in terms of being "abstract," you are even a step above me, the little Batman of Beika Town!
Seeing that Professor Agasa had completely fallen back asleep.
Ren Ichimonji shook his head slightly and connected the data cable of his special micro-computer to Professor Agasa's computer.
Time was tight, and the task was heavy.
I won't be using the wheelchair tonight; I'm going to start sprinting!
