Yoruichi Toyama finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, Conan-kun will be going this time too, and we already agreed..."

“Of course I know…” Akemi sighed softly, turned and sat down on the sofa, her voice lowering, “It’s best if Conan and I don’t appear at the same time, lest…”

"But this time we're going to a remote island, and as you said, Mr. Amuro will accompany and protect Conan."

It's because Amuro Tooru went too!

Yoru Toyama thought to himself, "Originally, only Conan went to Tsukikage Island, but now Amuro Tooru has joined us. If Miyano Akemi is added to the list, is it going to be a side story about opening a winery on the island?"

What if Qin Ye gets carried away and drives his Apache over there?

"Ahem... Let's keep a low profile, you're a girl..."

Even though she's the kind of girl who can rob a bank...

Recalling Akemi Miyano's resume, Yoruichi Toyama's persuasion seemed rather weak.

However, Akemi glanced at him, and her gaze gradually softened.

"Yoruichi, are you worried about me, or are you afraid I'll hold you back?"

Although they usually address each other by their first names, Yoruichi Toyama blushed unconsciously and scratched her head after a long while.

“Um… a certain police officer entrusted you to me, asking me to protect you…”

"So you're saying you're worried about me?" Mingmei quickly replied, her eyes brightening as if she were pleased. "Aren't you confident you can protect me?"

"Akami, the situation is a bit complicated this time. We still don't know if that Asano Minoru is..."

With Akemi's lowered eyes and ambiguous smile, Yoruichi Toyama unconsciously stopped talking.

Did I say something wrong?

"I think if it were another guy, he would probably say, 'I will definitely protect you'..."

Despite saying that, Akemi's expression didn't show any blame; instead, she laughed as if she were mocking herself.

"But I've never heard anyone else say that..."

Yoichi Toyama paused for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead in realization.

She must have been thinking of Shuichi Akai!

That unreliable ex-boyfriend, despite being in a relationship with her, abandoned her alone in a dangerous place when he ran away.

I would never do such a thing!

After weighing the options for a while, Yoruichi Toyama decided that Akemi should not go to Tsukikage Island.

Even if there were an all-powerful police officer present, we shouldn't take this risk.

"Mingmei..."

However, he had barely opened his mouth when Mingmei gently patted his chest, stopping him.

"Alright, I know. I won't go with you this time. I'll stay here with Kotaro and wait for you."

"Remember, this is the last time."

With that slender hand pressed against her chest, Yoruichi Toyama suddenly felt an inexplicable urge to hold her fingers.

But I didn't dare.

Then, on a whim, he laughed and said, "That's perfect, keep an eye on Mr. Mao for me."

"He said he was one of our detectives, and every time I went out, he would go fishing."

"This isn't fishing, it's more like catching fish by slacking off!"

"If this continues, we're not paying his salary anymore!"

Thinking he was about to say something, Akemi couldn't help but chuckle, her smile masking a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Then she handed the cat to him and turned to walk towards her room.

"We don't pay him a salary anyway, do we?"

...

Because of the decision not to bring Taro along, the transmigrated elf was very dissatisfied and kept grumbling in the mind of Yoruichi.

"First, I need to take the bus to Beika City to meet Conan and the others, and then we'll take the ferry together from Takeshiba Pier. They won't allow pets there."

Yoruichi Toyama was also having some trouble sleeping, so she patiently explained it to him.

When we get from Beika City to Fudomyama...

"Wouldn't that mean I hid you in my travel bag?"

[When I went to the wedding of the Matsumoto administrator's daughter, and also to the diplomat's house, I always sat in the car!]

"I rode in the Mingzhi car for the wedding, but took a taxi to the diplomat's house..."

Why don't you just take a taxi this time?

The cat's voice sounded quite aggrieved, just like a child throwing a tantrum.

[I hid it in my bag when we were on the boat, why couldn't it be done!]

"Cough..." Yoruichi Toyama was quite helpless and had no choice but to sit up and face those cat eyes that seemed to be spitting fire in the darkness.

"You won't have a chance to use your skills this time!"

"According to the plot, once we arrived on the island and met Asai Narumi, we could keep an eye on him and prevent him from having the opportunity to commit a crime."

"But now..."

"Besides, you can only identify someone by meeting them in person. We don't even know Asai Narumi yet."

"Then I can too..."

"Alright!" Yoruichi Toyama chuckled and stroked the cat's head.

"If I want to keep an eye on those people who killed the Aso family, I can keep an eye on them."

"I definitely won't give Asai Narumi... well, it should be Asai Narumi, the opportunity to commit the crime."

"No matter where he's hiding."

...

Two days before the full moon, Yoruichi Toyama and Kogoro Mouri's group met up and boarded a boat together to Tsukikage Island in Izu.

Although the Izu Peninsula belongs to Shizuoka Prefecture, the Izu Islands are under the jurisdiction of Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Therefore, if you need to check any information or report an incident, you can directly contact the Metropolitan Police Department.

For Yoruichi Toyama, a special advisor in the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division, it was quite convenient.

However, Inspector Megure, who was in charge of checking background information, was rather incompetent.

This was a consensus reached by Yoruichi Toyama after she met with Tooru Amuro and exchanged a few words in private.
