While Kurokawa Saki chose to retreat, the others were not that easy to give up.
In any case, the police couldn't confirm whether Kaito Kid was alive or not the next day and to check whether the egg was undamaged, the display was canceled and then it was taken back to Tokyo.
Kayama Ichiro was still able to follow Conan and the others.
But the others were not necessarily so.
Tsukasa Rika and Reiko Shita were really disappointed.
The good thing is that Kayama Ichiro kindly started a live broadcast for them to watch and follow through.
They watched as Conan found the mirror at the bottom and also the image of Yokosuka Castle and what followed was the series of reasoning by Mouri Kogoro and the others one by one.
Aside from Tsukasa Rika (no. 12) and Reiko Shita (no. 6) who were eager to watch, the others didn't care that much, though.
The reason?
…Because it's too freaking long!
Conan's movies were only one and a half hours to two hours at most. But if they have to follow Conan in real time, the time would be extended to days!
If they were not a real fan of reasoning, they wouldn't have the patience to wait and listen.
"Is there really a second egg?" Reiko Shita asked.
"No, from what I remember there's only one egg. The memories refer to the images inside the album if I'm not wrong," Tsukasa Rika replied.
"...You don't care too much about the treasure, do you?"
"The treasure is not as good as Kaito Kid!"
Reiko Shita: "..."
She couldn't refute.
Because she herself also likes handsome boys!
Kyaaa~.
…
High School Student [2]: Oi, oi, I'll appreciate it if you stop fangirling. There's a dead person here! Ahhh, I should have known that there's no Conan's movies that didn't end up with a corpse.
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Huh? You're still with Conan.
University Student [6]: Damn it! I'm so envious that you can follow Conan on the cruise ship while I can only watch from a distance! Ahhhh.
Doctor [9]: Try to solve the case, no. 2~.
Journalist [12]: Tch, he has no ability to solve cases. It'll be good enough if he didn't make trouble.
Megumi Aiko [4]: So, who's dead?
High School Student [2]: Hmm, Sagawa something who's a cameraman. I think it must be because he showed off the ring in front of so many people not long ago. Ah, I really don't want to be here right now….
…
Kayama Ichiro felt that he must have a screw loose in his head to follow after Conan and the others in their trip.
And the man was shot in the right eyes.
Ugh.
Just looking at the corpse made Kayama Ichiro nauseated.
But he still crouched down in front of the door and then started to use his ability.
'Hmm, this item didn't catch the image, this item only showed the feet, this item is full blackout… why can't I see it?'
Kayama Ichiro was confused.
Why can't he use his ability properly?
He had already used 24 hours but he still couldn't get the face of the culprit?
…
High School Student [2]: Hey, is it possible for our abilities not to be used properly?
Doctor [9]: It shouldn't be. I still managed to save many people's lives with my ability and there's no case of my ability not working.
University Student [6]: + 1
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: I never have any trouble related to my ability… is it because you use it around Conan, no. 2?
High School Student [2]: Huh? Are you kidding me? I usually still could get a glimpse of some clues one way or another, but there's none this time. Tsk, I guess it's just because my ability hadn't been fully developed.
…
Kayama Ichiro was really depressed, so much that he didn't watch when Conan ran away on his own again and the others were investigating.
No. 5 listened to Kayama Ichiro's words in the group and frowned.
He knew that their abilities all have limitations.
This was something that had been made known to them when they first entered this world.
But they never had any problem with it in the past.
'Is it because we're now in the main storyline that there are more limitations of our abilities?' No. 5 sighed. He hadn't experienced the so called ability blockade or something like that.
It might only happen near the main characters or the people around them.
Not only no. 5, even Kurokawa Saki was also wondering about this matter, feeling that she might have to be careful in front of the main characters in the future.
Because her ability involved life and death.
If she failed to keep someone alive… then it meant that the target would die a real death.
'Damn it, what's the requirement for the ability limitation?' Kurokawa Saki ruffled her head and then sighed.
If it hadn't happened to her, she wouldn't be able to know for sure.
Because only no. 2 experienced it, the others were still skeptical at this time and didn't put this matter into their hearts. Only some people were planning to be more careful when using their abilities around the main character.
Anyway, Kayama Ichiro only heard that they were going to Kosaka Family Castle.
And he knew very well that he might be in danger if he head there.
Kayama Ichiro: "..." is it too late for me to disembark?
But when he saw the girls were still fangirling and all rallied him to go there, he could only close his eyes painfully and decided to go with Conan and the others.
'I just have to protect myself while making sure to continue the live broadcast.'
Anyway, when Kurokawa Saki saw the chat group, she was silent when she saw these people fangirling again.
Oi, oi, oi, did you forget that Kaito Kid's real identity is Kuroba Kaito who's still a minor?
*sigh*
Poor Kayama Ichiro who was forced to continue the live broadcast. Though, she had no interest in watching it anymore because she knew that this case would have nothing to do with her.
Besides, Hikari Yuki had no time to care about it.
"Hmm…" Kurokawa Saki was looking at the message on her phone and her eyes narrowed slightly. This was a message from the lower ranked member in the organization whom she asked to tell her if there's any important mission. In exchange, she will give him enough money as payment.
There will be a new target: Yasuteru Domon.
Kurokawa Saki's eyes narrowed.
'So it's going to be Kir's arc and Akai Shuichi's death now.' Kurokawa Saki chuckled to herself as she checked into the plane back to Tokyo.
She simply sent a message to the group that was still excited about the chase of Kaito Kid and no. 12 heartbreaking cries.
[ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: No. 8, it'll be soon be Kir's chapter and Akai Shuichi's fake death. Are you going to participate in the battle?
Megumi Aiko [4]: Wait, what? It's going to be that chapter soon?
Public Security Officer [5]: Is the news reliable, no, 1?
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: Ugh, I'm grateful that I'm now injured and could stay in the hospital openly with my wife, so I don't have to participate in any unnecessary mission.
Corrupted FBI [8]: I won't act with them.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: No. 5, it's absolutely reliable. Also, shall we have a contest once again, no. 8?
Corrupted FBI [8]: Good idea. On that rooftop?
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Deal
Public Security Officer [5]: … you two better not kill each other! You hear me!]
[ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Don't worry.
Corrupted FBI [8]: We won't die so easily.
Public Security Officer [5]: …
Public Security Officer [5]: Forget it. No. 1, when will Gin go for that mission?
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Since it's an important figure, he's still making plans and this required some preparation. I estimated around a week's time. The exact date might need to ask no. 12. She can pay attention to Kir's schedule since they're working for the same Nichiuri TV.
Journalist [12]: Ahh, got it, I just need to find out when Rena will interview… who's the target?
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Yasuteru Domon, former Ground Self Defense Force Captain. He's known to be a tough guy who has been assassinated several times because of his righteous position. The organization will target him because his recent movements have touched upon their interest.
Public Security Officer [5]: Got it. I'll make additional preparations. The Ground Self Defense Forces are not going to be happy with this…
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: No need. He has some scandals that will make him retire from the public soon.
Public Security Officer [5]: …How do you know so much?
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: I have my own channel and this is mentioned in the comic.
Public Security Officer [5]: Then I'll check and probably also cooperate with them… those officers are hard to deal with.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: I'll contact them for you. Let's switch to a private channel for the specific.
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: Listening to them, I feel that I'm a useless undercover among all of us.
Megumi Aiko [4]: And what about me? It took me so long to be promoted even though I've been working for more than three years.
Corrupted FBI [8]: Just change jobs if you want to.
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: No.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Not possible. Anyway, if any of you meet the FBI, help me to beat them up for a bit. I really hate this arc because of the chaos that those people created…
Corrupted FBI [8]: Sure, I have an appointment to fight with Akai Shuichi again tomorrow.
Public Security Officer [5]: You all! Stop making trouble here!]
…
Kurokawa Saki talked with no. 5 a bit about some things related to the ground self defense forces. They were technically the military in Japan and some of their actions were different from the police.
She had some involvement with them because of cases in the past.
Thanks to that, Kurokawa Saki could contact and ask for help in case it was necessary.
So the two of them discussed a few things before they stopped communicating because it was enough. And as long as the case didn't turn out too big, they would not need the ground self defense force's help. It would be enough with the public security officials.
Kurokawa Saki smiled faintly.
She will not change the official events, but there were some things that had to be added~.
After all, she herself didn't really like the FBI.
