…
Kurokawa Saki had no idea that she succeeded in making Akai Shuichi embarrassed with the new hairstyle that she gave to him. If she knew, she would be very happy and if possible, she wanted to keep a picture.
After all, it would be a rare spectacle!
Kurokawa Saki is happy.
Anyway, after talking with Vermouth, she received a call from Gin.
"Gin, what is it?" Sake asked in her casual and lazy tone as always. She naturally used the voice of Midori Yuki that she had always used in the organization.
"How did you know he'll be there?"
"I have my own information channel, Gin." Sake let out a chuckle. "And I'm not your subordinate, so don't think about ordering me around."
Gin sneered and puffed the cigarette in his hand.
Today's operation once again proved the importance of having a good sniper.
Even if the umbrella had obscured their view during this morning's operation, a skilled sniper would have had a high probability of success.
If they had accomplished the mission objective then today's mission wouldn't have been a complete failure.
So even though Gin was irritated by Sake's sudden appearance, he still admired her sniping ability. She started off as a sniper in the organization and her skills were extremely biased at that time. It was precisely because her distance was extremely far that he remembered her from the very beginning.
A powerful sniper is an important asset of the organization.
Later on, she climbed on her own and Gin didn't hear much about Sake until she was sent back to Japan. Her way of doing things was rather extreme and she often made a lot of trouble.
But none of the messes could be linked to them.
It was astonishing.
Slowly, some people started to think of Sake by her extremely smart means and handling.
But today, Gin was sure that they would remember her clearly by her sniping ability.
She was the only one in the organization who could rival that man, Shuichi Akai, in sniping, even slightly surpassing him.
Not only in the organization, but among all the people he knew, there was no other sniper like her.
There was also Akai Shuichi's junior whom he had asked the intelligence department to check. He had some powerful abilities and seemed to be hard to deal with.
But the two of them were suppressed by Sake.
"Let's have a duel next time," Gin said.
Sake: "..."
She arched her eyebrows and then let out a chuckle.
Why does it seem that everyone around her really likes to propose a duel with her?
And…
Sake smiled brightly.
It's really fun.
"Sure~."
In this way, the call between Sake and Gin ended with the two bottles of wine agreeing to have a duel next time. Of course, Gin still has to complete his mission first one way or another while Sake herself had no intention to go look for him directly.
Nonsense, it was not like she had all the free time in the world!
She still has other things to do.
'A fight with almost all the powerhouse ceilings in Conan. Did I miss someone? Oh, Makoto Kyogoku, Sonoko's boyfriend.'
But thinking that Hikari Yuki only showed that she knew some karate in front of Shinichi back then, Hikari Yuki felt a headache. Her close combat contained mixed martial arts and it was definitely not something that she could show so easily. With Makoto Kyogoku fighting capabilities, she would be in direct disadvantage without using her most familiar skills.
…Even then, she might not win in a martial arts spar. And she couldn't exactly show her real fighting capabilities in front of him.
Otherwise, Conan will be suspicious why his neighbor is so skilled.
Ah…
It's really troublesome.
Then forget it.
Anyway, Makoto is not a person who has faced the darkness of the world and Kurokawa Saki would feel a bit embarrassed to use these methods against him. Her techniques were more directed towards killing, so it would be more suitable for her to spar against Gin, Bourbon, or Rye.
Either one would be fine~.
It was definitely not because she was afraid that she would be beaten up instantly.
Definitely not.
…
While Kurokawa Saki went back on her own, the others were also busy with their own business.
One of them was no. 2
No. 2 really wanted to cry right now.
When he saw that there was a very familiar face that will become his classmates next, he really wanted to open the door and escape right away.
Eisuke Hondou himself is not that bad of a person, but he's troublesome to deal with.
And no. 2 already had enough of Conan staring at him. He knew that Conan would be wary because of Kir's capture and then after some cases, Conan will figure out that Kir was actually a CIA agent, but no. 2 really didn't want to participate in this mess…
He sighed.
[High School Student [2]: Are there no other performances whatsoever? Why can't we have performance outside of the mainline and unrelated to the case? Isn't the game supposed to be something for fun?
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: I suspect you're trying to goad the system, no. 2
High School Student [2]: … I really don't want to be so close with the main protagonist during this period of time. I feel as if he's looking at everyone around him suspiciously.
University Student [6]: Well, maybe we have to wait for some time…
[Ding! Fun Games Act 8. The time-bombed Skyskraper. Let's make the case more exciting and add a few more fireworks~! The people to participate are No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and no. 9. Time: 5 days from now]
…
[University Student [6]: Wow, awesome, no. 2, you really pull the system here.
Doctor [9]: Time bombed skyscraper? It's from Conan's movie, right? So after the movie with Kaito Kid in Osaka, we're going to participate directly in the movie?
Artist [11]: Rather than participating directly in the movie, it was more appropriate to say that we're asked to make bombs and to make the case more exciting.
Journalist [12]: Ehhh? But we might kill people if we use real bombs!
Public Security Officer [5]: No one said about real bombs. It only said fireworks, so we can just replace the content with dummies.
Megumi Aiko [4]: That's not a bad idea. The problem is, who will supply us with bombs? Also, don't ask me to be the one to plant the bomb because that will definitely destroy the image I have built over the years. Even if it's a prank… just thinking about the pile of reports left to be written afterwards, I already have headaches.
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: I can get real bombs here. I know a bomb maker in the organization.
Megumi Aiko [4]: … Can you ask to make fake bombs?
Public Security Officer [5]: It would be suspicious if the other party knows about it. I don't think any of us learn the skill of making bombs here but outsourcing the organization might attract Conan's attention, so it's not a good idea.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: I can make bombs, but let me say this in advance, they're a bit too easy to disassemble because I don't put too many points on this skill.
Megumi Aiko [4]: …
High School Student [2]: No. 1, I'm deeply concerned about your abilities at this point. How did you select your skills in the first place?
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: No. 1, I really think that we need to exchange IDs.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: I used bombs to cover up my tracks back then, but they're relatively simple. Considering that Matsuda Jinpei is still alive, I bet he can solve the bombs right away. Anyway, I'll buy some firecrackers and then build them. No. 5, I'll put it in that place.
Public Security Officer [5]: Ok. I'll take it and then give them to no. 3.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Make sure no one sees you.
Public Security Officer [5]: Don't worry, no one can find me and the evidence of these things. No. 3, I'll let you be the bomber, alright?
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: I… fine…
Megumi Aiko [4]: Then I'll take the case to investigate and probably drag Conan.
High School Student [2]: Plant the bomb in Teitan High School and in the hospital. That way, me and no. 9 can be the victims…]
…
Everyone worked quickly to make the script ready since they didn't have much time.
Kurokawa Saki went to buy some materials needed to make the bomb and worked overnight to finish everything. The three ghosts were watching over her curiously.
"Is there a new mission?" Morofushi Hiromitsu asked after he saw Kurokawa Saki make 5 fake bombs in succession. They looked incredibly real from the outside, but he knew that the content had long been replaced by Kurokawa Saki.
Or rather, she only put some fireworks inside.
"Someone asks me to help make some fake bombs for their mission," Kurokawa Saki replied and then finished the last bomb.
She couldn't make too many bombs in such a short period of time.
After all, no. 5 had determined that she only had 2 days to prepare. Moreover, no. 7 will also prepare a real bomb that he took from the organization. On the third day, he will take the bombs and then deliver it to no. 3. The real bomb will be specially marked. On the fourth day, no. 3 will deliver the bombs to the designation and on the fifth day, he will detonate the real bomb and then let the police search for the rest of the fake bombs, which will be distributed to Teitan High School and Beika Central Hospital.
The first one would be for no. 2 and the second one would be for no. 9.
The three people were still discussing the script right now.
"For distraction?"
"Yes."
Kurokawa Saki took two days to make 10 bombs as agreed and then delivered them to the locker that she had agreed on with no. 5. Aunt Kira was helping her to destroy the surveillance cameras around the area, so there's no record of her appearance.
She left the key in the specific place and then handed over the code to no. 5.
Her first mission is over.
