"Well, Shinichi hasn't been going to school lately!" Vermouth said with a friendly smile in a soft voice, "Shinichi said you're a top student at school! So I was wondering if you have any free time to tutor Shinichi?"
While speaking, Vermouth deliberately put on a worried and gloomy expression.
"Sigh, that child, all he does is bury himself in research and reasoning all day long. If he continues like this, he probably won't even get into university!" She sighed and shook her head, looking at Yuzuru with expectant and pleading eyes.
"I wonder if Yuzuru-kun would be willing to spare a little of his precious time to help Shinichi? Of course, if you agree, I'll pay you a reward!"
Vermouth feigned sincerity, though she knew perfectly well that Yuzuru Hanyu would never agree to the request.
After all, according to the information obtained by the organization, Yuzuru Hanyu is not short of money, and his relationship with Shinichi Kudo does not seem to be very good.
You should know that Shinichi Kudo's childhood sweetheart was stolen away by Kusunoki Hanyu!
However, to Vermouth's utter surprise, Yuzuru nodded without hesitation and said:
"OK!"
"If it doesn't work... um?" Vermouth was stunned. All the words she had prepared were suddenly useless. She could only stare blankly at Yuzuru, who was smiling brightly in front of her, and didn't know how to respond.
"I haven't seen Kudo-kun in a long time either. I wonder when I can go and tutor him!" Yuusuke tilted his head, his concerned expression making it seem as if he really couldn't wait to run over and tutor Kudo Shinichi.
He wanted to see what Vermouth was up to.
Conan would brag about himself at home? Nobody would believe that!
Ai, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, also keenly sensed that something was wrong.
She frowned slightly, her eyes filled with suspicion as she stared intently at the mysterious woman who claimed to be Shinichi Kudo's mother.
She simply couldn't believe that her number one lab rat, Shinichi Kudo, hadn't told his family about shrinking his body!
There's definitely something fishy going on here!
So, Ai secretly winked at her sister who was standing at the door, then climbed into Nanami Hanyu's arms and stared intently at Vermouth across from her.
"Haha, that's great! But Shinichi isn't in the country right now; he's abroad handling a case. Once Shinichi's done, I'll have to trouble you, Yuzuru-kun."
Noticing that Akemi Miyano had quietly closed the door at some point, Vermouth's heart skipped a beat. She silently wiped the sweat from her brow and quickly changed the subject.
"Of course, but Mrs. Kudo, may I ask you a question?" Yuzuru ignored Ai's subtle movements around his waist and asked with a puzzled look.
Faced with Yuzuru's question, Vermouth tried her best to remain calm and friendly, her face still bearing a warm smile like a spring breeze, but the hand that was originally elegantly folded under the table was imperceptibly reaching towards her waist.
Actually, her purpose in coming here was to use her status as a best friend to find out some of Yuzuru Nan's true thoughts about how he treats his precious little angel.
But the current situation has developed in a way that has exceeded her expectations, and an ominous premonition has welled up in her heart.
Click...
With a crisp, cold sound of a bullet being chambered, the entire room seemed to freeze instantly, and the atmosphere became extremely tense and oppressive.
Yuzuru Hanyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked yet alluring smile.
He gently fiddled with the delicate, small lady's pistol in his hand, but his gaze remained fixed on Vermouth, who was already frozen in place, as if admiring a prey trapped in a desperate situation.
"I wonder why you carry a gun with you, Mrs. Kudo? Don't you know that it's illegal to possess firearms in Japan?" Yuzuru's tone was calm, but the implication was chilling.
In fact, the moment Vermouth stepped into the villa, the security system had already alerted Hanyu Nan – the visitor was carrying a lethal weapon.
Therefore, none of Vermouth's previous little tricks escaped his notice.
Just as she was about to draw her gun, Yuzuru effortlessly transferred the pistol to his own hand using his telekinesis.
At this moment, looking at the dark muzzle of the gun, Yuzuru's mocking expression, and then at the closed door behind her, Vermouth fell silent.
She inwardly groaned, realizing that she had acted somewhat impulsively this time.
She knew perfectly well that the other party possessed extraordinary abilities beyond her time, yet she still delivered them to his door.
Perhaps he was too confident in his disguise skills, or perhaps he was too worried about the safety of that "little angel"...
Perhaps she couldn't resist the mysterious allure of this man.
Yuzuru, on the other hand, was quite relaxed, calmly holding the equally curious Ai in his arms, and together they looked at the silent Vermouth.
Time passed slowly, and Vermouth finally sighed helplessly: "Would you believe me if I said I just came back from the M country and accidentally forgot about it?"
"Hehe, Ai, what do you think?" Yuu Nan chuckled softly, turning his gaze to the little girl in his arms.
Ai glanced at Vermouth expressionlessly, then looked up and took the pistol from Hanyu Nanasu's hand to examine it carefully.
Under Vermouth's surprised gaze, Ai Haibara raised her pistol without hesitation and pointed it at Vermouth.
"I trust the airport's strict security screening system more than she does."
Upon hearing this, Yu Shengnan's lips twitched violently.
If we follow Ai's logic, it seems we should indeed believe Vermouth.
After all, Gin was able to fly a helicopter and straf the Tokyo Tower, so it doesn't seem like a big problem for her to bring a handgun in.
"Ai, don't point the gun at the guests." Akemi, who had been standing at the door with a smile, walked over and said gently to Ai, reaching out to take the pistol from Ai's hand.
Then, Akemi turned her gaze to Vermouth, her eyes firm and sharp, but her voice remained gentle: "Leave this to your older sister."
Who are these people?!
That's my gun!
Seeing Miyano Akemi pointing a gun at her again, Vermouth finally couldn't hold back and roared in her heart.
It's just a gun, yet three different people have pointed it at me.
Vermouth was speechless. How come she never noticed that the Miyano sisters had this ability before?
