Chapter 420
After agreeing on a strategy, the organization members who participated in the mission to eliminate Sherry began to tacitly guard against Usaku Saiki.
The others were fine; they just needed to keep an eye on their phone calls with Usui Saiki. But Amuro Tooru was different; he had also promised to cook for Usui Saiki.
However, there's always a way to overcome difficulties. Relying on his status as an undercover agent, Amuro began to appeal to Usui's emotions, explaining that it was inconvenient to be discovered, and that he would cook at the shop and have someone deliver the food to Usui.
Amuro Tooru had mentioned this method before, but he still wanted to show off his abilities in the early stages and then gradually switch to this method later. He didn't expect this unexpected incident, which was best avoided by Usui Saiki, so he had to bring the plan forward.
Otherwise, with so many opportunities to meet with Usaku Saiki, given Usaku Saiki's discerning eye, it would be too easy for him to discover what he was trying to hide.
To be honest, even though Usuiba Saiki saved Miyano Akemi and Morofushi Takaaki, Amuro Tooru was still unwilling to share the mission related to Sherry with Usuiba Saiki.
It's not a matter of distrust... well, it's just that I don't trust them!
After Amuro overcame Morofuku Kagemitsu, he only believed in himself.
Even after they become partners, when he wants Conan's help, he still chooses to frame Kogoro Mouri instead of directly explaining things to Conan.
Even the reliable Conan Edogawa is so cautious. If Amuro Tooru is going to be even more secretive when facing the unpredictable Usuba Saiki, he's afraid of getting into trouble by getting involved with Usuba Saiki.
Strictly speaking, the point isn't even about trust or distrust, but rather about avoiding a plague...
Haven't you noticed that Gin suffered terrible luck in every mission related to Sherry and Usui Yasaki?
Amuro Tooru was afraid that after learning about the mission, Usui Saiki would try to cause trouble for Gin again and interfere, causing his plan to save Sherry to fail...
It would be difficult for him not to take his anger out on Gin as well.
It was all Gin's fault that he brought Usuo Saiki here!
In short, to be on the safe side, it's best not to let Usaku Saiki know about this from the beginning, and reducing his meetings with Usaku Saiki will also be more prudent.
Bo Yezaki didn't intend to deliberately make things difficult for anyone; he was content as long as he could eat something delicious, so he readily agreed.
Toru Amuro: "…………"
Bo Yezhai asked knowingly, "Wasn't this your own request? I agreed to it, so why are you silent now?"
"...I'm thinking about how to thank you." Amuro Tooru coughed. "What would you like to eat tonight?"
Usakabe Saiki started ordering without any politeness. After he finished, just as Amuro Tooru finally relaxed, he suddenly asked, "Why are you suddenly being so nice? Are you hiding something from me?"
Amuro Tooru remained calm: "There are many things I've kept from you, and no matter how much you ask, I'm not going to tell you."
Bo Yezaki grumbled, "Fine, don't tell me if you don't want to. Anyway, I'm busy playing games and beating levels lately, so don't come to me for help if you run into trouble."
After hanging up the phone, Amuro Tooru felt a cold sweat breaking out on his brow.
It seems like he couldn't hide it from them any longer; Usoya Saiki did notice something... Luckily, he was engrossed in playing video games!
Thank you, anime!
However, Amuro Tooru knows that Usaku Saiki is addicted to video games, but the others don't!
Vodka was on tenterhooks for a long time, but he didn't receive a call from Usoppon Saiki. He couldn't believe his luck.
If Vodka hadn't still believed Gin wasn't really an undercover agent, he would have been quite curious about how Usui Saiki planned to "predict" his older brother's actions this time...
However, this time it was mainly Bourbon and Vermouth's operation. Even if the mission failed, it was not Big Brother's fault. Botnis should not try to slander Big Brother again!
But he was still worried, so when he confirmed tomorrow's operation with Vermouth and Bourbon, Vodka couldn't help but ask a question.
"What has Potts been up to lately? Have you guys been exposed?"
Vermouth: "What, he called you?"
Vodka: "It's because we didn't fight... that I'm a little uneasy..."
Bourbon said, "He's been playing video games lately, saying he absolutely has to beat the game in the next few days."
Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wait a minute." Vermouth suddenly realized something was wrong. "How did you know?"
Bourbon sneered: "Go ask Vodka."
While he was still worried that his cleaning service for Usakabe Saiki might arouse suspicion, Usakabe Saiki sent an email saying that it was all taken care of and that Vodka would put in a good word for him.
In order to avoid being exploited by Usakabe Saiki, he suggested that Usakabe Saiki frame Bourbon so that he could easily control people. When asked about it by the person in question, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Well... there are all sorts of problems here, and it's not easy for Bourbon either... In short, he must have been threatened and is now working as a babysitter for Potts."
Vermouth: "...?"
Usakabe Saiki is just hiring a nanny for himself, why does it seem like some kind of secret mission?
This kid really doesn't compromise himself; he finds another one as soon as one leaves, it's seamless. Even someone like Bourbon got caught red-handed...
But let alone Bourbon, once Usuiba Saiki comes to her senses and realizes that the organization that shrunk Shinichi was their organization, she, who was protecting Shinichi, will have something on her hands.
Thinking of this, Vermouth then recalled Vodka's wariness when mentioning Usui Saiki, and Gin's avoidance of Usui Saiki...
I always felt that Usaku Saiki had turned the organization into a game, and no one could do anything to him!
Although mentioning Potts made the atmosphere a little awkward, everyone managed to eliminate a potential problem, and the meeting quickly ended, with everyone logging off to continue preparing for the next day.
As a result, just a few minutes after feeling that all the problems had been resolved and finally boarding the mysterious train, Bourbon suddenly received an email from Vermouth.
[Didn't you say Potts was going to be playing video games all the time?! I just saw him!]
In those two short sentences, Bourbon was able to discern that even the usually elegant Vermouth seemed somewhat flustered.
Let alone Vermouth, his heart skipped a beat when he saw this description.
Bourbon didn't ask any nonsense like "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"—they weren't Gin; their eyesight wasn't that bad, and they could tell who it was just by looking at them.
"You stay hidden and don't get spotted," Bourbon replied. "I'll handle it."
Vermouth typed a 1 to indicate that she had received the message.
Usakabe Saiki, whose mere appearance had severely affected the mentality of the two organization members, was quite happy at the moment.
He sat in the train carriage with Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri, drinking tea, and seamlessly blended into the girls' conversation without any sense of incongruity.
"I wonder what kind of magic tricks Lord Kid will perform this time?" Sonoko Suzuki's eyes lit up. "I didn't get to ride the airship last time and didn't get to see Lord Kid's performance either, but I never thought I could make up for it all this time. I'm so lucky!"
Bo Yezaki smiled and said, "Indeed, it was such a pity last time. Thank you for inviting me."
"You're welcome." Ever since Sonoko Suzuki inexplicably started talking about the troubles of love with Saiki Usaku at the okonomiyaki shop, she felt much closer to Saiki Usaku and had already included him in her inner circle. "I'll keep inviting you if there's anything fun to do in the future!"
"Sure, I'm pretty free anyway."
Sonoko Suzuki chuckled, about to say something more, when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Ran Mouri, who was sitting near the door, responded and opened the door, only to find that there was no one outside, but she found an envelope on the ground.
Sonoko Suzuki exclaimed excitedly, "Ah! This must be the regular activity for mystery enthusiasts on this train? Have we been chosen to be the culprit, the detective, or the victim?"
Ran Mouri opened it and read: "It tells us to switch rooms with the people in carriage seven, and then tell the detective who comes to investigate that we are in carriage eight... Well, I guess you could call us accomplices."
"What...?" Sonoko Suzuki was immediately disappointed, but then she thought it was quite a part of the experience, better than just being a passerby, so she perked up again, "Then let's go quickly, and bring this teapot and teacups with us!"
Usakabe Saiki knew this was part of a plan by someone who intended to kill someone, but he didn't intend to expose it.
After all, he also felt that the person the other party wanted to kill deserved to die.
So he stood up cooperatively, and even thoughtfully took extra teapots to help everyone move.
As a result, they ran into an acquaintance halfway there.
"Miss Ran, Mr. Usakuya," Bourbon greeted them with a professional smile, "and this one..."
"My name is Suzuki Sonoko." Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up when she saw the handsome guy. "Ran, is this someone you know?"
Ran Mouri explained, "This is the man I told you about before, my father's top disciple, Mr. Tooru Amuro." Then she turned to Bourbon and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Amuro to be in the car too."
"Well, I just happened to get a ticket. After all, I'm a detective, so of course I'm interested in this car... But who are you...?"
Bourbon's tentative gaze drifted toward Usui Saiki.
Didn't you say you were going to be playing games all day?!
Usakabe replied with a smile, "Sonoko felt that we didn't have enough fun on the airship, so she invited us here to have another good time... In order to be able to play freely today, I finally managed to beat the game a few days ago, so I can finally relax."
Bourbon: "…………"
He wanted to go back and beat up the person who had helped him pass the level while he was stuck.
When this topic came up, Ran Mouri also had something to say: "Usuke-kun, Conan-kun's eyesight is already nearsighted, so don't always make him play games for too long."
Bo Yezaki: "Okay."
Bourbon: "…………"
Is this obedient Usui Saiki really that lacking in maternal love?! It's such a blatant case of favoring girls over boys!!!
And Conan Edogawa even helped him beat the game, right?! He remembered that!
This kid with a fake name is better off not letting him find out anything!
Otherwise, he would hold the debt of apologizing to Bo Yezhaiji accountable and demand it back with interest!
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Bo Yezhaiji, fearing it might interfere with the prisoner's revenge, urged, "Alright, let's stop chatting here. We should move on to another room. It wouldn't be good if we delayed the game."
Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki suddenly realized, "That's right, then see you later, Mr. Amuro."
Bourbon waved to them with a warm smile and watched the group leave.
Changing rooms and stuff... is it related to the reasoning activities on this train?
It seems that Usaku Saiki's interests are now focused on this area, which may put his mind at ease.
Bourbon breathed a sigh of relief and sent an email to Vermouth.
[The Suzuki Group heiress invited him; it shouldn't have been one of us who leaked the information.]
Vermouth was skeptical: "Let me double-check with Vodka."
Bourbon: "..."
Well, Vermouth's suspicions are correct.
--------------------
Vodka: ? Is nobody speaking up for me?
.
Bourbon: It's nothing, he's been busy beating games lately.
Thin Leaf: I beat the game just for today!
Bourbon: ...Anyway, it's all Gin's fault.
