I don’t know how Morobushi Kagemitsu explained it, but in the end, Toru Amuro believed that he was a good person… maybe? ?

At least before leaving, although his eyes were complicated, Toru Amuro said to Jiang Lai in a serious expression: "Thank you for taking care of him before and in the future."

Jiang Lai: "Hey? You're welcome! We're all friends."

But to be honest, it seemed that Jingguang was the one who took care of me before and from now on... Jiang Lai of course didn't say it.

Amuro Toru narrowed his purple-gray eyes, but it was unclear how much truth there was in this smile. Perhaps this politeness and friendliness were just superficial.

Jiang Lai: ...Although I am a hidden boss, I am really a good person! !

Jiang Lai would check the mobile mailbox belonging to the hidden BOSS from time to time, but it was always empty.

Could it be that... they didn't contact me on their own initiative, but waited for me to contact them? Jiang Lai looked up at the sky. That would be troublesome.

I have no idea about the email addresses of the members of the organization!

Should I ask Matsuda...? Jiang Lai frowned. But Matsuda certainly didn't know much, and he couldn't explain the reason.

Besides, he hasn't figured out how to explain his extra identity as the boss to Jingguang and Matsuda. Should he just say that it is a non-existent memory?

...It seems possible? They should believe themselves.

Jiang Lai had a lot of thoughts in his mind. But he should wait a little longer. He should wait until he is sure.

Although he has an additional identity, Jiang Lai still leads an ordinary life, going to work and picking up his children from school.

In the first week of work after recovery, my office often received flowers and small cards quietly sent by students. Jiang Lai smiled and treasured these thoughts.

Suzuki Sonoko was much more outgoing and generous. She pushed open the door of the office during the break and said, "Teacher Jiang Lai! Have you recovered?"

"Ah, I'm completely recovered." Jiang Lai said with a smile.

"That's great!" The lively girl danced like a clever musical note. She handed over two invitations with a giggle, "How about going to the Western fantasy-themed makeup party? It's on Saturday, and I'm sure you'll have a blast!"

"Why?"

"It was held on the luxury cruise ship 'Purple Queen', a super-large makeup party held every three years!" Suzuki Sonoko patted her chest, "It's compensation for last time! Ah, I'm really sorry last time, I didn't expect that kind of thing to happen..."

The short-haired girl looked depressed.

"It's okay. These natural disasters and man-made disasters are not your fault." Jiang Lai reached out and took the invitation naturally. He knew that if he didn't accept it, the other party would feel guilty. "Thank you, Yuanzi."

Jiang Lai raised the corner of his mouth: "I have always been looking forward to going to a makeup party."

"Hehe, as long as the teacher likes it." Suzuki Sonoko also looked very happy, "Then I will go back to class. I wish the teacher a happy time in advance!"

"Okay, goodbye." Jiang Lai waved goodbye to Suzuki Sonoko.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was sitting at the desk next to him, raised his eyes and smiled, "You are very popular, Teacher Jiang Lai - I saw flowers and cards every day these days."

"Students are very kind." Jiang Lai looked down at the two invitations in his hand, "Two... It seems I have to find another one."

"You and Xiao Zhao go, I won't go." Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head and said, "I have something else to do."

Considering that they were outside, Morobushi Kagemitsu did not give any name or details, but Jiang Lai could guess that he was probably going to look for Amuro Toru.

"Okay." Jiang Lai responded, "Everything went well."

Of course, you have to dress up in advance for a Western fantasy-themed makeup party. Jiang Lai thought of dragons, princes, princesses, elves, and vampires, but in the end he chose the simplest option.

All you need is a piece of clothing with a red hood and a pair of white wolf ears.

"Okay! It's decided. I'm Little Red Riding Hood and you're the Big White Wolf." Jiang Lai tapped his right palm with his left hand. "Fairy tale, and it's also a Western fantasy theme."

He put on the coat with the red hood, saying that he was a genius - he didn't need any other outfits or cosmetic contacts, and it would be very convenient for eating, drinking and having fun on the boat!

Kurosawa Akira held up two white wolf-ear hair accessories and blinked his eyes: "But I remember it was a big bad wolf in the story?"

"It matches your hair color. It will look better this way." Jiang Lai smiled and bowed, "Okay, put it on quickly. We'll set off later."

"Okay~" Kurosawa Akira quickly put on two white wolf ears.

"If the staff asks, just say we are telling the story of Little Red Riding Hood," Jiang Lai said, shaking his finger, "a classic Western fairy tale."

"Yeah, I know. The teacher told me so!" Kurosawa Akira raised his face. His smiling eyes made it hard to tell the color of his pupils. "—I will keep an eye on you, deceive you, eat you, and reunite you with your relatives and friends in my stomach."

Jiang Lai: “…”

The story seems to be true, but it sounds so horrible!

Jiang Lai: "...Is this what your teacher said?"

"It's a story the teacher told me." The silver-haired boy asked hesitantly, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Jiang Lai patted the other person's shoulder. "However, next time when you condense the story, Xiao Zhao can try to change the language organization method that is more easily accepted, otherwise it will easily scare other children."

"Okay," Kurosawa Akira nodded obediently, blinking his dark green eyes, "I understand, Brother Jiang Lai."

"Then let's go." Jiang Lai held the silver-haired boy's slightly cold hand.

The Purple Queen cruise ship was more luxurious than the Starry Sky cruise ship they had taken before, like a moving luxury hotel. Jiang Lai held Kurosawa Akira's hand, looking a little out of place among the group of people dressed in fancy clothes.

Kurosawa Akira looked around with the excitement and curiosity of a child, his dark green eyes wide open. Jiang Lai looked down at the safety manual in his hand, and still habitually glanced through the emergency exits and emergency equipment storage areas first.

"Hey! Brother Jiang Lai," Kurosawa Akira seemed to have seen something. He pulled the corner of Jiang Lai's clothes and pointed to the other side, "It's Conan and the others——"

Jiang Lai: “!?”

He looked up suddenly and saw those familiar people gathered on the other side - of course, they also saw him.

"Teacher Jiang Lai." Xiaolan, who was wearing a wizard costume, waved over here and greeted first.

"It's you. Nice to see you again." Jiang Lai walked over with Kurosawa Akira. "Are you playing wizards?"

Suzuki Sonoko didn't come, maybe something happened. Standing here is the familiar trio of Conan, Maori Ran, and Maori Kogoro.

"Yes... well, this is a magic wand in your hand." Mao Lilan seemed a little embarrassed, but with the excitement of a young girl, "Where are Mr. Jiang Lai and Mr. Kurosawa?"

"It's Little Red Riding Hood and the Big White Wolf." Jiang Lai smiled.

"I think your teacher Jiang Lai made the right choice," Maori Kogoro said with dead eyes, "Really, holding this stick really feels stupid."

"Dad!" Mao Lilan pouted, "How can a wizard be without a wand?"

Conan also held a small magic wand in his hand. He smiled with his crescent eyes and glanced at Jiang Lai.

The black-haired young man was also looking at him, and he was lip-syncing with a lazy look: "Why are you here again——"

Conan: “…” I should be the one saying this!

Are they really here to enjoy the masquerade? Just wearing a red hooded outfit and acting like Little Red Riding Hood is too casual!

Jiang Lai: To be honest, I came here mainly to eat (?)

However... this kind of attire makes it very convenient to move. Conan analyzed it consciously in his mind, and then he looked back at Kurosawa Akira wearing the wolf ear hair accessory, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.

——Silver hair, green eyes, wolf ears, even if it is a shrunken version, this sense of déjà vu is too weird!!

Kurosawa Akira noticed Conan's gaze and waved in a friendly manner, "Conan-kun~"

Conan (Pain Mask.jpg): "..."

——How strange! Let me take another look (bushi)!

Kurosawa Akira: “?”

Kurosawa Akira: "What's wrong, Conan-kun? Does your expression mean... that you are not feeling well?"

This sentence brought back Ran Mouri, who immediately turned to Conan with concern: "What's wrong, Conan? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Really? I just glanced through the cruise ship manual and know where the infirmary is. Do you need me to take you there?" Jiang Lai also bowed to show his concern, but there was a hint of mischief in his expression. "Or let Big White Wolf Xiao Zhao accompany you?"

Conan: "...Haha, no need, thank you." He raised his head and said to Mao Lilan childishly, "I'm fine, Xiaolan sister!"

Jiang Lai stood up, a smile still on his face. He glanced casually at the crowd and suddenly seemed to see a familiar figure——

The man with long black hair was wearing a knitted hat as usual. He was dressed in an ink-colored long trench coat with a golden pattern, which looked a bit like a vampire, but without too many decorations, just to blend in with the background crowd on the cruise ship.

He leaned against the wall at the edge of the crowd, his face a little pale, not sure if it was the effect of the paint or his condition. But his back was still straight, his olive green eyes were deep and shiny,

Jiang Lai: "…" "The other party should be fine, right? It can't be that every time I meet Akai, the other party is in a bad state...

However, the other party's status is indeed unstable and uncontrollable.

There was another brown-haired man standing next to Akai Shuichi. They were probably talking, but they were too far away to hear what they were talking about. Jiang Lai guessed that the man was also a member of the organization - were they on a mission?

Now that he has an additional identity, Jiang Lai's attention to the organization's affairs has naturally deepened.

After saying this, Shuichi Akai left first and walked into the cruise ship with big strides.

The brown-haired man stared at the long-haired man's back for a long while before looking away. He took out his cell phone and played with it, seeming to be hesitating and thinking about something.

"..." Jiang Lai thought for a moment, then he smiled and said to Kurosawa Akira, "You play with Conan first, I'm going to the bathroom and will be back soon~"

Jiang Lai waved his hand, raised his feet and chased in the direction where Akai Shuichi left.
