Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Although it is a date, it is not right away. As Bourbon, Toru Amuro still has organizational tasks to complete, and the offline event is also scheduled for next week, so the date time is naturally next week.

Similarly, although they do not intend to interfere in the organization's affairs this time, they also need to keep an eye on the development of the matter in real time. Now that they already know the target, Toru Amuro has also asked Kazami to keep an eye on the laboratory that the organization is going to evacuate, and to keep an eye on Conan as well, to prevent the child from really getting into danger.

The system also volunteered to keep an eye on Akikawa Sarina, because she felt that Kazami was not as strong as her, and she could also help Conan directly from close range.

As for Conan's thoughts, Akikawa Sarana had already told Amuro Toru, so there was no need for him to repeat them.

In this way, it was the afternoon of the second day after Akikawa Sarina talked with Conan.

Thinking of what Conan wanted, Akikawa Sarina took the initiative to start sorting out the organization's accounts for the second half of the year in advance. At the base, she saw Vermouth, whom she hadn't seen for several days since the Hachijo Island incident.

In places like this, in the organization, except for the boss and Rum, even Gin and Vermouth are not allowed to enter or leave without the boss's permission.

So Vermouth just stood outside, and when Akikawa Sarina looked out the window, she signaled to her that she had something to talk to her about.

After seeing Vermouth, Akikawa Sarana put down the account book in her hand and walked out of the room.

Seeing her coming out of the room, Vermouth smiled and said, "It's rare to see you come here on your own initiative."

Although Akikawa Sarina had a blank expression on her face, a sweet smile flashed in her eyes. "Bourbon and I have an appointment to go on a date after he completes this mission. In order to avoid these things disturbing me at that time, I will clean it up first."

Vermouth had a slightly playful smile on her face, "Well, we've been busy all morning and it's time for lunch. I'll treat you."

Akikawa Sarana knew that she had something to ask her, so she didn't refuse and nodded, "Wait for me a moment."

Her coat and belongings were in the next room, so she had to go get them first.

As they were getting farther and farther away from the base, Akikawa Sarina was confused but did not say anything. She let Vermouth drive her away from the commercial center where the base was located.

The last place Vermouth took her to was a Japanese-style dining place. After getting off the car, Akikawa Sarina wrapped her clothes around her, narrowed her eyes under her sunglasses, looked around the scenery, and then turned her head to look at Vermouth, "This place doesn't seem to be the style you like."

Vermouth has never liked this style. Her taste tends to be more Western. She usually likes to go to some French restaurant and only goes to places like hot spring resorts on rare occasions.

Hearing Akikawa Sarina's complaints, Vermouth raised her hand and pushed the sunglasses on her face, "It's okay to change your style once in a while."

As soon as the two got off the car, a waiter walked quickly towards them. After confirming the reservation, he led the two to the private room that Vermouth had booked in advance.

The waiter did not ask them to order. He led them to a secluded private room and bowed to them, "Please wait a moment."

Then he left.

"This restaurant doesn't have a menu. The chef decides today's dishes based on what ingredients are freshest every day."

After the waiter left, Vermouth took off her sunglasses and explained to Akikawa Sarana.

"Open the blind box." Akikawa Sarina nodded knowingly and said casually.

She has gotten used to these messy membership stores that like to play tricks such as being mysterious, making items more expensive due to scarcity, or personalizing them.

Anyway, her purpose today was not to eat, so she was not afraid of eating raw food during her menstrual period. She had Tongzi's plug-in, so she just needed to drink more hot water when she got home.

Given her current physical condition, it won’t get any worse.

Noticing that Akikawa Sarina was checking whether the environment was safe, Vermouth continued, "Don't worry, the environment here is absolutely safe."

She had a mysterious smile on her face, and if you looked closely, it seemed to be a little bit sarcastic. "This is a private membership system. The owner of the shop has some background. The people he serves are senior politicians, top tycoons, and some people whose identities cannot be revealed?"

Akikawa Sarana lowered her eyes slightly, as if she understood the meaning of her next sentence, "People who cannot reveal their identities? You mean people like us who are in the underworld, right? It seems like this is a place where black and white are not taboo."

The owner of a shop that dares to accept and even select customers from both the black and white worlds cannot be just a simple person with a little background. And according to the meaning of what Vermouth just said, the owner of this shop may also be a gangster, or a bit black.

"You're still so direct in your words." Vermouth was helpless, but she did not deny what Akikawa Sarana said.

Now she no longer had to pretend to be aloof or psychotic when facing Vermouth. She just smiled lightly, "This is a rare advantage of mine."

Although the environment was confirmed to be safe, the two did not talk about the organization's affairs, but instead talked about some interesting things recently and a fashion class from Vermouth herself.

After waiting for the waiter to bring all the dishes and leave, Akikawa Sarana looked at her portion of food in front of her. Surprisingly, there was not much raw food, so she looked up at Vermouth.

The other party had a smile on his face that Akikawa Sarana couldn't understand. "Although the kitchen will make decisions based on the ingredients, if the guests have any preferences, they can tell them when they make the reservation."

Vermouth looked at Akikawa Sarina's slightly pale face. When she asked Limu out for dinner, it was not the first time she met her today. She saw Limu's state when he appeared at the base from the surveillance video, and naturally saw Limu's unintentional little movements. They were all women, so she had already guessed what was going on.

So I mentioned here that we should reduce the amount of raw food we eat.

"Thank you." Akikawa Sarana curled the corners of her lips.

The two of them were not the kind of people who would not talk while eating or sleeping, and no one would disturb their conversation from then on, so they began to simply discuss matters within the organization.

"When is your date with Bourbon?" Vermouth took a sip of wine.

Akikawa Sarana glanced at her wine glass and complained in her heart that she shouldn't drink and drive, so it seemed that she would have to drive when she returned home.

Hearing her question again, Akikawa Sarana had some guesses in her mind, and a puzzled look appeared on her face, "Next week, is there something going on?"

"nothing."

Limu and Bourbon were not included in this evacuation, and Vermouth, who knew more, was not worried that Limu would be harmed by the police, after all, Conan was there.

Vermouth took out an envelope from her bag and pushed it in front of Akikawa Sarina who was sitting opposite her. "This is for you, Boss."

Akikawa Sarana put down the chopsticks in her hand, wiped her mouth and hands, picked up the envelope, opened it and saw a pass inside.

"This is?"

Vermouth continued to sip the wine in his glass, "A pass to the N1 laboratory."

Akikawa Sarana frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she closed the envelope and put it next to her, "Boss gave this to me to ask N1 Lab to provide body cell samples or to win me over?"

As the second generation in the organization, she naturally knew the nature of the N1 laboratory, so she did not resist as she usually did when those laboratories were mentioned, and her reaction was very calm.

Vermouth was very satisfied with Akikawa Sarina's reaction speed, "He said the latter verbally."

"Win me over?"

Akikawa Sarana was confused, but then she thought of something, "Did you help me put in a good word in front of him?"

Vermouth certainly wouldn't push away her own achievements. "I told you before that he has been asking me to send someone to keep an eye on you. Yesterday, I reported to him some inaccuracies and omissions that were harmless to you, as well as information about blood ties and kinship."

"You told the boss about their existence." Akikawa Sarina quietly clenched her left hand on her leg into a fist.

Vermouth raised her eyebrows and glanced at Akikawa Sarana, without any surprise on her face. She knew that Limu would have this reaction.

"So it's not false that you value feelings."

She shook her head helplessly. It was right for him to tell the boss about the two policemen without telling her. "I later found out that the boss knew about your two good friends. In order to make your behavior more reasonable to the boss, I told him about your contact with them."

Looking at the silent Dilimu, Vermouth continued, "Don't worry, because of your alienation from those two people, the boss thought you were just missing your childhood. He didn't think much about it, but thought that your behavior of approaching those two policemen was right."

Akikawa Sarina raised her eyes, with obvious doubt in her eyes.

Vermouth just looked at her and said, "That's it."

"Feel sorry."

Akikawa Sarana lowered her eyes, "I was overreacting."

Vermouth smiled and shook her head, not minding her behavior just now. She knew that the two policemen treated Limu just like the two children treated her. Limu was restraining himself by not pulling out a gun directly at her, or maybe it was because of their friendship over the years that Limu endured it.

"As for the N1 laboratory, part of it is Gin. He mentioned to the boss that your body affected the action."

Akikawa Sarana had just suppressed her emotions, but when she heard about Gin, she was surprised again, "Gin? Is he so kind?"

Even if her physical condition affected the mission, it was strange that Gin would mention such a thing to the boss.

Vermouth was also puzzled by Gin's behavior, but it didn't matter. If there was someone who would not threaten his position in the organization to help him complete the mission, Gin would not refuse.

"The location of the N1 laboratory is not in Japan. I originally thought that you would take advantage of this mission to leave."

Vermouth propped her chin with one hand and looked at Akikawa Sarina, "Now it seems that you will choose to end your date with Bourbon before going."

Akikawa Sarana didn't say anything, and seemed to be thinking about when to go to the N1 laboratory.

"Speaking of which..."

Although Vermouth still maintained a smiling expression on her face, the emotion in her eyes was sharp enough to see through Akikawa Sarana.

Noticing the look in her eyes, Akikawa Sarana's expression remained unchanged, but her heart was already hanging in her throat.

"Bourbon..."

Vermouth uttered these two words slowly, and at the same time, she stared at Akikawa Sarana without blinking, taking in all her emotional reactions. "You are treating Bourbon better and better. Do you want to take him away from the organization as well?"

Fortunately, no one guessed that Bourbon was an undercover agent, but rather thought that she wanted to take Bourbon with her to leave the organization.

At the same time, Akikawa Sarana looked at Vermouth, with no emotion in her eyes.

She did not show any emotion. Her acting skills were taught by Vermouth. No matter what she did at this moment, it would be wrong. It would be better to have no emotion at all.

"Why do you ask that?"

Although she has always known what Bourbon's image is in the organization, Vermouth suspects that she wants to pull Bourbon out of the organization without suspecting that Bourbon might be an undercover agent. This situation is really a bit confusing.

Isn't that right, Bourbon?!

Seeing her reaction clearly, Vermouth had a rough idea in her mind, "Because of your performance."

Vermouth tapped the table a few times, a look of disapproval on her face, "Are you becoming less and less defensive against him?"

Without waiting for Akikawa Sarina to say anything, Vermouth continued in a tone of regret: "I know you are sentimental, but you have to choose who you are with. You can be sentimental to your young friend, to those children, and even to Shirley whose sister died, but you shouldn't be like this to Bourbon."

"He..." Akikawa Sarana pretended to defend Bourbon.

"Perhaps Bourbon is showing you his detective self in front of ordinary people.

But Limou, you have to know that Bourbon is a member of the organization. Think about how he completed those tasks and his completion rate..."

Vermouth was helpless. "He is not a person who behaves like a little lamb in front of you. He is a hungry wolf. He is a hungry wolf who can step on you to get to the top anytime and anywhere if he gets the chance, and then send you and your young followers to hell."

Akikawa Sarana was silent. She clenched her fists and looked down at the table in front of her. After a long moment, she whispered, "Since he's a detective, that means... there's really no chance that he can leave with me?"

Vermouth did not answer Akikawa Sarana, but her silence meant everything.

After another long silence, Akikawa Sarana said in a trembling voice, "I understand. I'll start to stay away from him after this date is over."

When Vermouth saw that tear, she once again wanted to kill Bourbon after he threatened her with the two children.

Her kitten has grown up, but it is rare that he cries in front of her.

Vermouth, who learned the truth later, said:... Very good, Limu, you have succeeded.
