Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Although she thought this in her heart, Vermouth still responded calmly:

"...Alright, I won't lay a hand on her again."

Vermouth was well aware that if she still dared to try to harm Shiho Miyano, she would really be asking for trouble.

Moreover, when the two went to buy a cake, Qi Ming had already stated that he would use verbal therapy to defuse the threat posed by him.

Although she didn't quite understand what a threat meant, Vermouth could guess.

Qi Ming's purpose was simply to act as a peacemaker so that he could give up the idea of ​​harming Miyano Shiho.

But Vermouth felt there was no need for further negotiation.

It was like the two sides in a business negotiation. They were communicating peacefully, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious as they went back and forth.

Suddenly, one of them pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the other's forehead.

He kept saying, "Let's all talk calmly and not get angry. Regardless of whether this deal is ultimately reached, we can still be friends in the future..."

Harmony my foot!

As Vermouth was lost in thought, she suddenly felt something gently touch her waist.

This sudden touch made Vermouth instantly embarrassed and annoyed.

Although she was indeed helpless against Qi Ming, wasn't this frivolous behavior a bit too much?

“Madera, you…”

Vermouth turned her head, about to symbolically reprimand Qi Ming as a teacher.

However, when she turned around, she was surprised to find that a little girl with brown hair had appeared between her and Qi Ming.

Ai Haibara.

Ai Haibara was also completely bewildered at that moment, but she quickly came to her senses.

Teleportation, huh? I'm used to it.

But when she caught a whiff of the fragrance, Ai Haibara's heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly turned her head to look beside her.

"..."

In that instant, the air seemed to grow heavy.

Vermouth and Ai Haibara looked at each other, their four gazes meeting.

Ai Haibara swallowed hard, a faint sound escaping her throat.

She felt it was time to have a serious talk with Qi Ming about this issue.

Every teleportation is so sudden, without any prior warning!

Especially now that Vermouth, who is completely undisguised, is sitting right next to him!

Ai Haibara felt a shiver run through her as she sensed Vermouth's rather aggressive gaze.

She looked away, avoiding eye contact, and unconsciously moved her body closer to Qi Ming, wanting to get away from Vermouth.

The little girl's expression had long since lost the composure she displayed when confronting Shuichi Akai.

However, after only a moment, Ai Haibara seemed to suddenly realize something and snapped back to her senses.

Eh!

What are you afraid of? Why are you hiding?

This is Qi Ming's car!

She's still being supported by Qi Ming!

It's not me who's afraid now, it's you, Vermouth, who's afraid, right?

Thinking of this, Ai Haibara instantly felt confident.

Her initial timid expression vanished instantly. She turned her head and met Vermouth's gaze with a stubborn look on her face.

"What are you looking at?"

"……hehe."

Vermouth observed Ai Haibara's expression with great interest, though she also wanted to retort, "What are you looking at?"

Knowing that Qi Ming would drag her to a meeting with Shiho Miyano later, Vermouth was too lazy to catch up with her old colleague now.

Vermouth turned her head and fixed her gaze on Shuichi Akai on the screen, then said to Qi Ming:

"Shuichi Akai is a huge threat to our organization. Should we deal with him now?"

Qi Ming didn't react, but Ai Haibara sensed a hint of emotion in his words.

It seems there's some personal grudge involved.

This woman seems to have a grudge against everyone.

"threaten?"

Upon hearing Vermouth's words, Qi Ming was slightly taken aback.

"Is he capable of turning the world upside down with a flick of his wrist, or of wielding a sword that chills fourteen provinces with a single stroke? Or is he capable of seventy-two transformations, or of splitting mountains with a single axe stroke?"

"he……"

Vermouth was thinking of an answer, but the next second the words got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't squeeze out a single word for a long time.

In her mind, Shuichi Akai was the organization's number one enemy, a silver bullet capable of piercing through the organization.

But now that I think about it, what does Shuichi Akai have?

Good marksmanship? Good hand-to-hand combat skills? Strong reasoning ability?

Then compare with Qi Ming...

Vermouth suddenly felt outdated, as if her thinking couldn't keep up with the latest version.

"...Do as you please."

Qi Ming stared at Shuichi Akai on the screen for a while before speaking to Vermouth.

"By the way, you mentioned before that Gin likes him?"

"Cough cough!"

Two coughs rang out at the same time. Ai Haibara looked at Vermouth in disbelief, while Vermouth looked at Qi Ming with a strange expression.

Ai Haibara was greatly shocked.

Gin is gay?

"When did I say that?"

Vermouth quickly retorted that she had never said such a thing.

"You yourself said that Gin always talks about Shuichi Akai. What else could it be but love?"

Vermouth rolled her eyes, somewhat amused by her annoyance.

"So, the fact that I keep mentioning Sherry means I..."

The next second, Vermouth stopped rolling her eyes and her anger subsided.

Damn it, I've been led astray.

When she finally came to her senses, the two adults who looked like children were staring at her in astonishment.

The emotions in his eyes made people feel awkward.

"...You decide what to do."

Vermouth coldly uttered a sentence, then turned her face to the window and closed her eyes to rest.

"Hehe, just kidding."

"hehe."

Did you see me smile?

Seeing that Vermouth clearly had no intention of speaking anymore, Qi Ming shifted his gaze back to the screen.

After gazing thoughtfully for a while, he suddenly clapped his hands loudly.

"Alright, since they're already here, and they've come all the way from America to my Japan, we should at least give them a special welcome ceremony!"

As Qi Ming spoke, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

Let's set off some fireworks!

As soon as Qi Ming said these words, Vermouth and Ai Haibara were both stunned.

Let's leave aside the welcoming ceremony for now.

Could you please translate what "My Japan" means first?

What is the organization's welcoming ceremony?

Ai Haibara asked curiously.

How come I, a prison inmate, have never heard of such a ceremony?

"The organization is preparing to take action against Bourbon... Oh, Master Abe doesn't know about this yet."

Qi Ming looked at Vermouth, who had a puzzled expression, and explained.

"It's about the helicopter sweeping of the Metropolitan Police Department. We can use Shuichi Akai to rehearse it first."

"Let's bomb him from the air!"
