Chapter 246

Scotland and Bourbon were discussing whether Usuiba Saiki had let Miyano Akemi die or had interfered in keeping Miyano Akemi alive, and whether he had any conscience at all. Usuiba Saiki was happily counting his doubts.

The system was also quite pleased: [Although with Conan Edogawa around, the undercover agents' suspicion levels aren't quite up to par, they still have weight, so it's clear they can't bear to give them up!]

Usakabe Saiki sighed: "It's just a pity about my nanny. But considering Gin's original plan to have her deal with drug trafficking, she probably wouldn't have had time to come here anyway, so it's not such a bad deal."

System: 【…………Can't you clean it yourself?】

Bo Yezaki argued vehemently: "I don't come back here often! It'll just collect dust if no one cleans it!"

The system thought about it and felt quite worried for Bo Yezaki: "So what are you going to do now?"

"That's easy." Bo Yezai picked up his phone. "I'll ask Vodka how he plans to compensate me."

He's so good at passing the problem on to others to solve!

Amidst the system's silence, Vodka answered the phone: "...Potnis, what's up now?"

Vodka's tone carried a suppressed pain.

Because he was currently suppressing his urge to complain—Big Brother! Can I call you Big Brother? You just instructed Chianti to ruin my Gin's mood today, and now you're calling again, are you trying to show off?

Once a day is enough! Even if you're going crazy, you should still consider other people's ability to handle it!

It's so late, can't a person get a good night's sleep?!

Usoppai didn't care about vodka's life or death; he only cared about his own pleasure: "I just suddenly remembered that Miyano Akemi died today. When are you going to send me a new nanny? You didn't think everything was fine after you took her away from me, did you? No way, no way?"

Vodka shuddered.

Oh no, he's been so preoccupied with worries lately that he forgot about it!

But he couldn't admit it out loud, otherwise Bo Yezaki would definitely cause trouble by asking, "Are you looking down on me?" Vodka quickly made an excuse: "Of course not, it's just that it's hard to find someone who meets your standards. I've been looking for one! I'll let you know when I find one!"

Bo Yezaki pressed aggressively: "When are you going to find me? What am I supposed to do all this time? Just let my house gather dust?"

Vodka: "...???"

If you go home often, the house won't get dusty, right? It's precisely because nobody lives there that the house gets dusty so easily!

But he didn't dare to really criticize Ye Saiki like that, and could only weakly reply: "As soon as possible, as soon as possible. How about I find someone to coordinate something in the meantime, and get Scotland... Scotland won't do."

Scotland is part of the action team. With Gin recently being sanctioned, the work has been distributed to other capable people, so Scotland is busier than before. He probably wants to rest more now that he has some free time. It would be inhumane for him to let someone deal with Usui Saiki. After all, Scotland is an ally who often speaks ill of Usui Saiki with him!

However, Usoppei Saiki said, "I think Scotland is quite capable. He came over today to cook a meal for me. He seems to be quite free. You can make some arrangements."

Vodka: "…………"

Scotland, you've suffered...

Although they are both codenamed executives, Scotland has a connection to Gin because he was always under Gin's tutelage when he joined the organization. Scotland can be considered a member of Gin's faction, even though Gin is sometimes marginalized by Boss. Scotland is still relatively obedient to Gin.

There was no need to discuss this with Gin. As Gin's partner, Vodka could arrange it himself. He quickly called Scotland and asked if he was willing.

After hearing the purpose of Vodka's visit, Scotland paused for a moment and said, "I feel like my status hasn't risen at all over the years."

Not long after joining the organization, he became a babysitter for Usaku Saiki. Now that he's a code name member, he's still being asked to be a babysitter!

"Anyway, you cooked for him today too..." Vodka said guiltily, "Just doing it a little, helping out, you two have a good relationship, right?"

"Actually, we haven't been in touch very often these past two years..."

Scotland doesn't really want to see Usui Saiki right now.

Although he did find some plausible reasons that allowed him to still hold a glimmer of hope for Bo Yezaki, it was still possible that his senior had raised a heartless and ungrateful person, and Bo Yezaki had always been indifferent and cold-hearted in front of him. Even for the sake of his mental health, he didn't really want to go lately.

Because this would affect the glorious image of the senior in his mind.

Vodka pleaded earnestly, "But after Miyano Akemi passed away, he immediately thought of you. That already shows that he treated you differently! No one else gets this special treatment!"

"...How about this treatment for you?"

It's just asking him to clean and cook! What's so different about that?

If this is the special treatment this kid gives to his adoptive father's colleagues, then he really would rather not have it!

Just then, Bourbon gestured something from the side.

Scotland frowned and gave him a "Are you sure?" look, while Bourbon nodded firmly.

So after further persuasion from vodka, Scotland said, "How about this, let Bourbon go? He owes me a favor, so this is a good opportunity for him to repay it."

"Uh... I have no objection." He was already satisfied that someone had taken the landmine vodka, but he couldn't help but remind her, "But Potts might not agree. Bourbon isn't a woman, and Potts won't show any mercy..."

“…Anyway, I’ll give it a try,” Scotland said. “Speaking of showing mercy, didn’t he plead for Miyano Akemi?”

Vodka: "No. But it's Potts, not surprising."

Indeed, given that it is Usaku Saiki, it is not surprising that he would do anything.

Scotland wasn't particularly disappointed by the answer; she calmly hung up the phone and then looked at Bourbon: "You actually want to contact him again? Didn't you say you never wanted to think about Usui Saiki again?"

“Just once,” Bourbon said. “I haven’t been to his current home yet. I’ll observe him. Although I don’t want to deal with him, I can’t completely ignore him… I think we should update his information.”

That's definitely the truth.

Gin was the one in the organization who most wanted to ignore Usaku Saiki, and everyone can see what he's become now.

Many people and things don't cease to exist just because you ignore them.

Bourbon continued to criticize: "And I don't think it's appropriate for you to see him again right now. It feels like you have unrealistic expectations of him."

Scotland sighed: "Actually, I've realized it too... After all, I'm different from you. I've actually benefited from him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gotten my codename so quickly. When I was with him, my mission targets were all people who deserved to die... How should I put it? Looking back now, those days were actually pretty good."

On the contrary, it was only after leaving Usakusaiki that he truly entered the dark side of the organization. It can only be said that contrast makes the heart more beautiful. Even the past when he was so frightened by Usakusaiki that his heart was arrhythmic seemed like a trivial matter in retrospect.

Bourbon had only one comment: "You should see a psychologist."

Although Bo Ye seems to be bad at reading the room and talks nonsense all day long, since his judgment of people is ridiculously accurate, his ability to understand people's hearts should not be too weak. His usual behavior can only be attributed to his complete disregard for other people's feelings.

The period immediately following his infiltration of the organization was the most unstable time for the undercover investigators, and unfortunately, Kagemitsu became Usuiba Saiki's partner...

Who knows if Kagemitsu's current state was also part of Usaku Saiki's calculations!

Bourbon expressed deep skepticism.

Usaku Saiki, who had almost become a worrywart in Bourbon's eyes, woke up at noon after taking a nap, which was quite unusual.

His new house wasn't far from Shinichi Kudo's house; it was just two streets away. Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to return the borrowed books first and then think about what to eat nearby.

If Professor Agasa wants to eat something, he can eat it with him, so he won't have to worry about making a choice. Perfect.

But just as he returned the book to the shelf, before he could even choose what to read next, the doorbell rang.

Bo Yezaki: "...?"

Who would come to the Kudo residence at this time?

Bonus chapter for landmines! Settling accounts! Bonus chapter for recharging 20/100

.

Although it can get serious at times, this book won't be angsty, and there won't be any fake deaths or anything like that. Don't worry, it's a pure, lighthearted, and humorous story...

.

Vodka: Bo Ye Saiki, can I call you big brother?! Please let me go! Once a day is enough!

.

Yes, Scotland still held a sliver of hope for Bo Ye because he suspected that the preferential treatment Bo Ye had given him was a deliberate act by Bo Ye after discovering that Bo Ye already knew his identity.

He quickly acquired a codename, and the people he killed wouldn't affect his mental health much...

But now Bo Ye's behavior is contradictory, so... he's even more suspicious of her (x)

Bourbon, having received no benefit, was more rationally suspicious...

Thin Leaf: Thank you for being an undercover agent.
