Conan: My Pure Love Exceeds the Limit

Chapter 77 Shirley: What? I avoided her?!

After hanging up the phone, Gin revealed a sinister smile.

He didn't care what Vermouth was doing in Tokyo. As long as she didn't have designs on Sherry, he wouldn't ask or interfere in her affairs.

But if she makes a move on Shirley, he won't let Vermouth get away with it.

After all, Sherry is now the most important treasure of their base, without exception.

If anything were to happen to Sherry under his care, or even if she were to be killed, his standing in the boss's eyes would definitely be greatly diminished.

This is not okay.

Moreover, Vermouth has a criminal record, so he has to be careful.

After all, Vermouth had tried to lay a hand on Sherry back in the United States, and although she didn't succeed, it did scare some people.

However, Gin still doesn't know why Vermouth attacked Sherry. He has tried to find the answer, but to no avail.

This situation is quite normal.

Although Gin is the boss's confidant, there are some things that Gin cannot know, such as Vermouth's age and what happened to Vermouth back then. These are things that cannot be known to more people.

Even Gin shouldn't know about this.

However, Rum knew about this, after all, he inherited the code name Rum from his father.

So he knows some things, and he knows them very clearly.

But Rum also knew very well that some things could be said and some things could not.

Although the boss hasn't shown up for a long time, the power it can command is still terrifying.

If the boss wanted to kill Rum, it would be easier than crushing an ant.

But now, Rum still has value to us, so we can't kill him!
However, Gin is no longer interested in Vermouth's messy affairs. After all, it's a secret that can't be investigated, and continuing to investigate might kill him.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want to lose his life over something like this.

So now he only does what he is supposed to do, and he won't touch anything else, let alone violate the organization's taboos.

The astute Gin had already guessed that some of Vermouth's actions were among the organization's taboos, so he naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to continue investigating.

咚咚
Just then, there was a knock on Gin's office door, followed by a familiar voice: "Big brother, it's me."

That's right, that voice belonged to none other than Gin's henchman, Vodka!
"Go in." Gin paused, then slowly uttered a single word.

Immediately, the office door opened, and Vodka walked in.

Vodka was still wearing his usual outfit: a black suit, sunglasses, and a hat.

This outfit is not only what he wears when he's on missions outside, but also what he wears inside this base.

He really liked this tense feeling, which made him pay attention to his surroundings at all times and prevent any mistakes.

Shinichi Kudo: Ah, right, right, right!

Closer to home.

"Is there something you need?" Gin lowered his head and continued working on the documents in his hands.

Upon hearing this, Vodka said, "Shirley said she's going out tomorrow, so I rushed over to tell you, big brother."

Time flies, last month has passed, and now it's October!

That's right, it's October.

Although last month was May, this month is October.

As for why, you should ask Gin and Conan.

It was the two of them who created this bizarre timeline. Today might be summer, but tomorrow could be winter or the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

But it's not a big problem. We have to go through it anyway, so it doesn't matter whether we go through it sooner or later.

"Tomorrow?" Gin raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "Okay, you can make the arrangements. It'll be the same as usual. But I have to remind you, Vermouth is coming!"

"What?! Vermouth is in Tokyo?!"

Vodka was shocked when he heard the news.

He never imagined that Vermouth, the Thousand-Faced Witch and famous Hollywood actress, would come to Japan.

Of course, none of these names matter. What matters most is that this woman harbors deep hostility towards Sherry.

If Vermouth knew that Sherry was going out tomorrow, she might hide in the shadows and wait for an opportunity to strike.

It's worth noting that Shirley was assassinated by Vermouth when she was in the United States. Although the attempt failed, it still became widely known.

So he knew about this.

Thinking of this, Vodka looked troubled: "Brother, since Vermouth is here, why don't we keep Sherry from going out and let her lay low for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Gin said, "Go and talk to Sherry. If she agrees, then agree; if she doesn't, then proceed as usual."

Sherry is still relatively obedient and hasn't reached her rebellious phase yet, so he usually agrees to her requests, unless they are unreasonable.

He had already stipulated that Shirley should go out for fresh air, so if he didn't let her go out now, wouldn't he be contradicting himself?

He is a person who values ​​rules the most, but of course, he sometimes doesn't follow them.

Rules need to be considered over time.

Furthermore, his bottom line is quite flexible and can be adjusted at any time.

Upon hearing this, Vodka made a face, opened his mouth, and finally uttered, "Okay, I'll go ask."

"Ok!"

Vodka then left the office to find Sherry.

Shirley's office.

"Huh?" Sherry's pupils constricted and her body trembled slightly upon hearing the news that Vermouth was in Tokyo. These were natural reactions and nothing to worry about, but Vodka noticed them.

Seeing this, Vodka smiled and quickly said, "That's right, Vermouth has come to Japan."

"If you don't want her to cause you trouble, you should lay low for a while and go out again later."

"She's a big Hollywood star; she can't stay in Tokyo forever!"

At this time, he was unaware of Vermouth's plans to retire from acting, because she had not yet made it public.

How could vodka possibly know!

"What?" Upon hearing this, Shirley raised an eyebrow: "You want me to avoid her? Why should I?!"

If Vodka had spoken kindly, Sherry might have agreed, but Vodka unfortunately touched a nerve with Sherry and triggered her pride, causing her to immediately argue back.

"I'm going out tomorrow, you make the arrangements!"

"This is what Gin promised me. If you don't agree, I'll go talk to Gin myself!"

"Sherry, you..."

Hearing this, Vodka looked furious and gritted his teeth, saying, "Sherry, you'll regret this!"

"Vodka, I'm the one involved!"
