As Kurokawa Saki was contemplating, a familiar voice came from below.
"Jump down, I'll catch you."
Huh?
Amuro Toru?
Kurokawa Saki was stunned for a moment. She actually didn't sense any danger when Amuro Toru was so close to her?
Unbelievable.
But this was not the time for her to think about this.
There was no time for her to hesitate and Kurokawa Saki decisively jumped down with the child in her hand.
A pair of powerful arms caught her gently and then covered her and the child with a wet coat before rushing out of the fire.
And then, the two of them were put on the ground.
Kurokawa Saki looked at the child, who was still dazed and chuckled softly as she put her down. "You're fine now."
She patted the child and then looked at the person who saved her just now. It was Amuro Toru but not the Bourbon whom she had seen before. He looked like a sunny young man from next door instead of the dangerous Bourbon who was going to kill her and full of hidden murderous intent when facing her.
Did he not recognize her?
It seemed that her disguise skills were pretty good.
Or well… it seemed that Amuro Toru's skills in recognizing disguise was actually quite poor.
She felt a bit perplexed about this considering that Amuro Toru basically spent a long time with Vermouth in the comic. Yet he failed to learn how to detect disguise. Then again, Vermouth's disguise was indeed very good and normal people wouldn't be able to discern it.
"You did well and you're really brave." Amuro Toru looked at the cute girl in front of him and smiled kindly. "But if something like this happens again, please prioritize your safety. Saving people is important, but your own safety is also important."
Kurokawa Saki looked a bit dazed and then nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, I know my limitations well. You're also very strong, Brother."
Amuro Toru smiled in response.
At this time, the child's parents came and thanked the two of them.
Morofushi Hiromitsu watched from the side and almost cried.
So it seemed that when Amuro Toru didn't have the organization's filter when facing Kurokawa Saki, the two of them could actually get along harmoniously with each other.
'Should I let Saki hide her identity from Zero all the time?'
Morofushi Hiromitsu shook his head in amusement.
He believed that sooner or later, the two of them would know each other's full identity.
'Hmm, so Saki is not comfortable to talk with Zero when he's full blown showing his hostility… well, it's expected.'
Who would like to face someone who wanted to kill you with a sincere smile?
Even Morofushi Hiromitsu would feel uncomfortable.
For Kurokawa Saki who already had to face a lot of people in the organization and had to keep her act almost all the time, the hostile Bourbon is also her enemy.
So she would not hesitate to show her hostile side to him too.
And then this cycle turns around and around.
Morofushi Hiromitsu sighed in his heart.
"Are you injured?" Kurokawa Saki asked after the child's parents had left and they were treated by the paramedics. She glanced at the camera and saw Morofushi Hiromitsu nodding at the side, meaning that they had taken care of the camera.
As long as they were in the organization's mission, the ghosts could also take care of the cameras. Aunt Kira is a technical talent and was capable of hacking onto the cameras. So when Kurokawa Saki was not convenient, Aunt Kira would help her to erase the surveillance cameras.
Incidents outside like this were naturally included.
"No, I'm fine." Amuro Toru shook his head and looked at the young woman beside him carefully.
Hikari Yuki was wearing gloves when she rushed into the fire just now but because she grabbed the burning woods, the gloves were torn and she had taken them out. Perhaps because of wearing gloves all day long, the gun markings on her hand were very shallow.
Without touching it directly, one wouldn't be able to sense it.
The paramedics had treated and bandaged her palm that was burning slightly and Kurokawa Saki felt a bit helpless.
It seemed that even if she wanted to go on a mission, she wouldn't be able to.
"Thank you for your help just now." Kurokawa Saki bowed slightly. "I have to go. My brother is waiting for me."
Morofushi Hiromitsu: "..."
He chuckled in his heart but accepted this title. Anyway, Kurokawa Saki was already half of his daughter in his eyes or perhaps a younger sister is also fine.
"Alright. Be careful in the future."
The two of them didn't even exchange names and left the scene soon after, avoiding the reporters that came to the scene.
"You seem to be getting along just well with him," Morofushi Hiromitsu said teasingly.
Kurokawa Saki: "..."
"Brother Hiro!"
"Hahaha, I'm kidding." Morofushi Hiromitsu chuckled. "I know this is only going to happen outside."
"Mhm." Kurokawa Saki nodded.
To be honest, when seeing Amuro Toru, Kurokawa Saki was quite surprised herself. She knew that he was on the red side, but she didn't expect that he would also help people without hesitation when he saw they were in danger.
But then again, he's indeed a person who's full of justice.
…A bit too much in fact.
"Well, at least when he didn't try to kill me, we can still talk." Kurokawa Saki shrugged, clearly not expecting much from the other party.
Morofushi Hiromitsu nodded in understanding. It was indeed not easy for her to meet Zero outside of their identity as an organization member.
"I'm going to be a shut in for the next few days." Kurokawa Saki sighed.
She had enough of this excitement.
Morofushi Hiromitsu laughed helplessly and nodded in understanding. "I understand."
…
Amuro Toru was planning to slip away when he suddenly heard a loud 'Brother Hiro' from the back, making him nearly stumble.
And the female voice was also very familiar.
He turned around and saw Hikari Yuki had already walked away. It was hard to see whether she was with someone at this distance.
But after a moment, Amuro Toru suppressed his thoughts.
It was probably someone with a similar name.
He didn't think that Hiro would still be alive after so many years.
…
While Kurokawa Saki was going away, no. 12 came to the fire scene with Rena Mizunashi. After all, she's a junior worth cultivating in the TV station.
"It's a big fire and I heard that there are two people who helped the trapped child escape?" No. 12 asked curiously.
"Yes. But they have left."
"Can you describe the appearance?"
"A beautiful woman and a handsome man!"
No. 12: "..." can you be more specific?
In the end, Rena Mizunashi had to step forward and helped the other party to maintain the proper interview.
No. 12 followed Rena Mizunashi like a little tail and nearly stumbled upon the fallen debris. They listened to the guest's description of the two people who saved the guests and No. 12's expression turned a bit strange.
"You mean… the one who jumped that high is a woman?"
"Yes. She jumped high and grabbed the second floor balcony before climbing up. Her movements are very neat and swift! She's so cool!"
No. 12 silently looked at the intact guest house on the side and tried to jump up.
Swish!
Her hand passed by the balcony by a large margin.
"Ahaha… is it a tall woman?" Even though no. 12 herself was nearly 170 cm, she still felt that she's too short.
"No, that girl is short, petite and she looks like a high school student."
A high school student?
No. 12 looked like she was doubting the world.
Rena Mizunashi looked at her junior who basically showed everything she thought on her face and sighed deeply. "Come on, control your expression."
"Yes, yes, senior!"
So when Kurokawa Saki reached home, she was stunned to hear a notification again.
[Ding! No. 12's impromptu performance in front of several main characters is perfect. Congratulations for earning the title, "Cute and Adorable Reporter." You have obtained the score of 100 in this performance and received 100 fun points]
Kurokawa Saki: "..."
It seemed that this no. 12 is surprisingly suitable to become a reporter. In such a short period of time, she had already earned 2 titles.
Their chat came to live again, but Kurokawa Saki was too lazy to join in. She only watched no. 4 laughing at No. 12 and even telling the other party that she broadcasted it live in the Metropolitan Police Station.
Congratulations for no. 12 to become famous among the policemen.
Pfft, Kurokawa Saki really wanted to laugh.
Because of her burns, Kurokawa Saki was too lazy to come out of her house and finally got her well deserved rest. At the same time, it was finally time for Conan to go to Tsuchikage Island.
…
[Megumi Aiko [4]: I'm going with Conan to Tsuchikage island today! Hehehe~
High School Student [2]: If I'm not too busy with class, I would have come along.
Serial Killer [3]: I don't dare to come out of my house
Kami Shita [6]: Ahhh, I hate the second division! Every day is a chase with annoying thieves. If these thieves are as handsome as Kid, I'll be willing to let them steal! But they're all ugly as hell and I want to beat them all up when I see them.
I also want to take a break, but I don't think I can do any of the missions for this.
High School Student [2]: Pfft, if those thieves heard what you said, they'll suffer secondary mental damage.
Kami Shita [6]: I don't care! I hate them for giving me so much more work!
Public Security Officer [5]: Good luck
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: I'm hospitalized right now. Otherwise, I really want to see Conan before Miyano Shiho comes or else she'll definitely detect that I'm a member of the organization.
High School Student [2]: Huh? What happened to you, no. 7?
Serial Killer [3]: Is it because of a mission?
Doctor [9]: If you don't mind revealing your identity to me, I'll go see you as your attending doctor. My skill is related to healing and I can help you recover quickly.
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: It's Margaret… She's a cadre in the organization who's a killer but under Rum. Gin was annoyed by her and threw me out to fight against her. In the end, both of us were hospitalized. Also, no. 9, I'm in a black hospital since it's a gunshot wound, so you can't come here.
