The two women clinked their glasses and Kurokawa Saki didn't stay in the bar for long. She didn't have much interest in drinking with Vermouth in the first place.
It was already quite late when she came here.
On her way back, Kurokawa Saki sighed deeply, wondering how the main storyline will advance now. She messed up a bit in that bus and no. 10 plus no. 8 had entered Conan's eyes. Well, it'll be quite fun.
"Sister Yuki?" Conan saw the somewhat familiar neighbor and called out. When he came closer, he could sense the smell of alcohol around her body. "Are you drinking?"
"What? I'm already an adult, Conan-kun." Kurokawa Saki rubbed Conan's head and then rubbed the child's cheek. "You have blood here. Did you get hurt?"
"Ah, it's not my blood." Conan remembered that he helped Ai get up for a bit. She has blood from that man's hand, so this should be his blood.
Hmm?
Can he check it out?
But the blood has been contaminated and the result wouldn't be accurate.
"You have to be careful. Whenever I see you, you're always involved in some kind of accident," Kurokawa Saki said in a helpless tone.
"I will!" Conan raised his head and looked at this woman once again.
Hikari Yuki was a neighbor that he rarely saw and from what he knew, she didn't have much interaction with him either. She's a lively and kind elder sister whom he and Mouri Ran befriended.
"Go to sleep early, Kid."
"Um."
Conan watched as Hikari Yuki left before he returned to Mouri Kogoro's detective agency.
Kurokawa Saki didn't have much interest in Conan and always behaved as an ordinary neighbor to the other party. She will greet them when they meet and then talk a few words. But after that, she will leave.
It was not the time for her to join the main storyline.
…
To be honest, Conan had just left the Metropolitan Police Station and wanted to plant a bug on either Akai Shuichi or No. 8. But for some reason, he failed miserably no matter which one he targeted.
Before he knew it, the two people had completely disappeared.
The frustrated Conan could only go back and that was when he met Hikari Yuki.
On the other hand, no. 8 was not that lucky.
"Now, care to tell me why you're there, Josh?"
"I don't have to explain myself to you." No. 8 rolled his eyes and walked in a different direction, he made his attitude clear that he had no interest in talking with Akai Shuichi.
"Your injury?"
"It's healed more or less."
"A gunshot wound would not heal that fast." Akai Shuichi narrowed his eyes. "What are you pursuing, Josh?"
"You won't understand." Josh Parker, no. 8, had no interest in explaining his action to someone like Akai Shuichi. Moreover, he himself was not entirely sure what he actually pursued.
The two men broke up on bad terms.
It was obvious that if they were to meet each other in the future, they would quarrel once again.
…
[Ding! Fun Games Act 6 is over. Result: 90 points. The respective scores are 90 points for no. 4, 90 points for no. 8, 90 points for no. 10. Great Performance! In addition, 50 points are given to the supporters who helped to make the performance fun, which is no. 1, no. 5 and no. 9]
[Megumi Aiko [4]: Ooh, it's finally over. Why does it take so long?
Corrupted FBI [8]: I confronted the FBI just now.
High School Student [2]: Ooh? Did you make more trouble? I want to see! I want to see!
Drug Dealer [3]: I'm still waiting for a death script for me.
Kami Shita [6]: Huh? Did you make more trouble? But this time there are a lot of helpers
Doctor [9]: It can't be helped, someone got injured and I have to help a bit.
Member of the Organization [10]: I confronted Vermouth just now. It feels good to threaten her! Now I understand why Bourbon did it in the first place.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Y…you threaten Vermouth??? Are you crazy?
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: I wouldn't suddenly get the task of killing you no. 10, right?
Member of the Organization [10]: How should I know, but I was sure that my performance was good, why can't I get an additional title or something?
Megumi Aiko [4]: Maybe because it's still within the performance game.
Public Security Officer [5]: You three… please stop making trouble.
High School Student [2]: Forget it, Vice leader. At least they're now provoking the black side instead of the red side.
Drug Dealer [3]: Do you need a quick acting heart pill? I can prepare it for you for free.
Public Security Officer [5]: (face palm.jpg) forget it. Vermouth is already Dr. Araide, so I'm afraid she'll set the trap to Ai soon. After this, he should cooperate with Akai Shuichi to fake his death and Okiya Subaru will be born.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: It's next week at the earliest. She just asked me for help.
Corrupted FBI [8]: I'll side with the FBI this time.
Megumi Aiko [4]: There's no performance, right?
Public Security Officer [5]: Even without a performance mission, you can still act in front of those main characters. By the way, don't forget to finish your own second main mission. Without it, you wouldn't be able to finish the mission.
Journalist [12]: Don't worry, we're not going to forget about it.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Yep, yep.
High School Student [2]: Hmm, but I didn't dare to make trouble in front of Ran and Sonoko. And Sera will come soon, right? I really don't want to be involved with her.
Kami Shita [6]: Why? She's cute.
High School Student [2]: Too troublesome. I want to be an intelligence dealer again and leave the school. *sigh*
Doctor [9]: Good luck with that. I doubt it'll be successful, though.
Drug Dealer [3]: Death script!
Megumi Aiko [4]: Forget it. It's better to hope you can earn enough fun points.
High School Student [2]: … I'll try!
Megumi Aiko [4]: *Cheers*
Kami Shita [6]: Hahaha! Let me know if you experience social death!]
No. 2 sneered at the group of people who only wanted to have fun. Well, he himself was not much better.
Tomorrow at school is the time for school festival training. He'll try to play well~.
So the next day, no. 2 audition as the knight in front of Mouri Ran and recite the script passionately, inviting the girls to cheer excitedly.
"Wow, Ichiro is on fire today." Sonoko looked excited.
"He's so handsome too!"
Conan, who had just arrived: "..."
"No, he's not suitable for Ran neechan!"
One hour later, no. 2 came out of the classroom with a composed and proud look.
