[Megumi Aiko [4]: Woohoo, Conan is going to leave Tokyo! I hope he stays there for as long as possible.
High School Student [2]: Pfft. Did you suffer a lot from his cases, no. 4? It seems that you're not doing well lately.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Tsk, don't you know that the number of reports skyrocketed with Conan around? I have to work overtime several times, so I have been taking my break again and again!
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Hahaha. It's really hilarious, no. 4.
University Student [6]: It would have been more fun if we could go with them too. Kyoto didn't seem to be part of the main storyline, right?
High School Student [2]: I don't remember Conan encountering a case in Kyoto if he ever went there. Also, it has been a while since there's any fun games.
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Pfft. Are you trying to provoke the system into asking us for a performance again? Let me remind you that if we need to perform in Kyoto, it'll be very troublesome for some people.
Public Security Officer [5]: …Indeed, I can't go there personally.
Doctor [9]: It's not impossible to go, but I don't really want to.
Corrupted FBI [8]: It's boring.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Tsk, how about if we spar with each other? I've been training hard lately and I don't mind getting another opponent.
University Student [6]: Haha, someone is stimulated. Why don't you provoke no. 1 instead?
Megumi Aiko [4]: … I don't want to be beaten.
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: And you don't think no. 8 will beat you up?
Corrupted FBI [8]: Heh
Megumi Aiko [4]: I can still deal with him!
High School Student [2]: I salute your bravery, no. 4
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: + 1
University Student [6]: + 2
Public Security Officer [5]: Rather than fighting, can't you all be more harmonious with each other?
Megumi Aiko [4]: I'm already very friendly!
High School Student [2]: So friendly that even the telephone pole will fall down after you punched it?
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: I don't think it's possible for me to make friends if I have to be honest.
University Student [6]: Also, are we really not having any performance? I'm really not used to have such a long break like this.
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: You're definitely fishing right now.
University Student [6]: Ehehehe~
High School Student [2]: Then again, we missed the twin tower explosion and the mermaid islands before this. I heard Ran and Sonoko discussing those cases, but we basically missed it completely.
Megumi Aiko [4]: But Conan's appearance is really funny. You didn't see him with his hair chopped off some time ago, did you? I didn't expect there'll be a case that caused him to change his hairstyle even though it's only for a few days.
High School Student [2]: Huh? I didn't see it! No wonder Conan didn't appear in front of me in the last few days!
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Damn, you should have taken a photo.
University Student [6]: Picture!
Doctor [9]: I don't understand what's so interesting with Conan changing his hairstyle.
Artist [11]: It's funny! He has the same hairstyle for the entire episode but this time he's forced to change.
Journalist [12]: Did someone burn his hair or something?
Megumi Aiko [4]: I had no idea. That brat is surprisingly tight lipped about this matter…]
…
Since the system didn't respond for any performance, no. 5 was just waiting while reading their chats.
After getting to know each other, it could be said that their fun loving attitude was made well known. They all got along well and really loved to make trouble.
He sighed when he thought that he was placed among them.
Then again, he was not disgusted.
At most, he felt helpless.
As for Conan's hair…
No. 5 strongly suspect that it was no. 1 who made the move. She had done the same thing to Akai Shuichi twice and she might do it to Conan too.
As for the reason…
Probably either for fun or she hoped he could stop being so reckless.
No. 5 didn't know for sure.
He could only guess.
Thankfully, nothing seemed to be wrong with it.
…
The chat group was still noisy, but since there was no performance, Hikari Yuki didn't bother with it.
Only when there were system mission would she worry about it.
For now…
Her eyes turned sharper as Hikari Yuki took out her phone and made a call.
"Sake?" Gin's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Gin, you promised me that you'll lend me your people, right?" Sake let out a faint laugh. "Let me borrow some intelligent officers for a few days."
Intelligence officers?
Gin frowned. "I don't have enough intelligence officers, but you can borrow Bourbon for a while if you want to."
"Oh?" Sake arched her eyebrows.
She had just met with Bourbon under her other identity not long ago. And from the way it looked like, he was busy with other things.
Besides, he should have heard about Akai Shuichi's fake death, right?
Would he be willing to go on a mission under her?
Sake was doubtful.
"Is there no one else?" Sake expressed her doubts.
Does it have to be with Bourbon?
"Haven't you cooperated well with him so far?" Gin asked back.
The mission record of Sake, Bourbon, and Vermouth was perfect. The three of them were doing extremely good jobs some time ago.
This was something that Gin had heard too.
Sake was silent for a moment.
Excluding the fact that she and Bourbon almost killed each other a few times during their mission, the end result was indeed very good. This was mainly because the two of them knew what was important and would not let their personal feelings affect their work.
Only Vermouth should be able to see that the two of them were like oil and water.
They just clashed quietly against each other.
"Nevermind. You're the one to inform Rum, got it?" Sake continued.
She didn't want to contact Rum and asked to borrow his men.
Sake was absolutely sure that someone would definitely be angry at her. Especially if he knew that she was going to Kyoto.
It might be Malbec territory.
But if Sake has more influence there, she might end up threatening Rum.
