Chapter 578 What a coincidence

"Hey bro, what do you think of yesterday's news broadcast?"

"What can I say? These people up there think everyone has nothing to do all day, so the official channels are just creating this mess."

"I actually think it's true. When I got back, I kept sitting in front of the mirror and trying to convince myself that this was a game. And guess what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

"I successfully missed out on the 800 limited-time game coins for my game event."

"..."

restaurant.

As Shiho Miyano cut her steak, she could hear the conversations around her, which seemed somewhat abstract.

"Don't just focus on eating, how about sharing some tips with them?"

Qi Ming found what these people were saying quite interesting, and he didn't even want to eat his food anymore, just listening to them brag and chat.

"...I have no experience whatsoever."

"I can't help it," Shiho Miyano said helplessly, glancing at the time and occasionally turning to look out the window.

Yesterday, while she was lying in bed, she received news that her sister would be flying back to China today.

She originally wanted to pick her up at the airport, but Miyano Akemi refused, so they all agreed to meet at a restaurant for dinner.

Besides Akemi Miyano, Qi Ming also has a guest today.

Natsumi Kasaka.

The organization's mascot has finally finished dealing with all her affairs and is ready to return to work. Congratulations!

"Isn't it normal for flights to be delayed? It would be abnormal if they arrived on time. My mascot, for example, hasn't come back yet."

Qi Ming said, picking his teeth.

"And you've been talking here for so long, why don't you call her and ask? Maybe she's already gotten off the plane and taken a taxi over."

Shiho Miyano was taken aback.

"...Oh, that's true."

"Fool."

"You are stupid!"

While Shiho Miyano was on the phone, Qi Ming turned to look out the window, lost in thought.

When he came to his senses, he saw three familiar figures walking towards the restaurant.

Qi Ming watched curiously as the three of them walked closer and closer, eventually entering the restaurant.

"We have reserved a private room."

"Let me see... Okay, no problem, please follow me."

As the three turned around, their eyes met Qi Ming's. They froze, standing still without taking a step forward.

Seeing that they didn't seem inclined to greet him, Qi Ming had no choice but to speak first.

"What are you three doing? What are you thinking? You see the boss and the second-in-command and aren't going to greet them?"

The group dining here consisted of Vermouth Gin, Vodka, and their small organization.

"..."

Vermouth sighed softly.

How come I could just walk into a restaurant to chat and run into Qi Ming and Shiho Miyano?

This country isn't that small, is it?

Qi Ming waved.

"Come, come, sit down and let's chat."

"...No, we won't bother you any longer. We're going to go to the private room to talk about something."

"A private room? That works too, let's go together! We were just looking for a private room, but they said it was fully booked."

Qi Ming glanced at the waiter who was with the three people. The waiter was surprised to feel a little uneasy under Qi Ming's gaze.

"If we didn't have guests today, and if this idiot next to me hadn't been holding me back, I would have insisted on getting a private room."

Upon hearing this, Shiho Miyano silently pinched Qi Ming's waist.

But you can't pinch it off.

"……All right."

Vermouth, naturally, dared not refuse and nodded with a look of utter despair.

"Let's go."

Qi Ming patted Shiho Miyano on the shoulder.

Shiho Miyano nodded, hung up the unanswered call, and unconsciously slid her fingernails across the screen.

A moment later, she spoke softly to Qi Ming.

"My sister didn't answer my call."

"Just keep it on silent, I like it on silent."

"...Don't assume my sister will do the same thing based on your own habits, okay?"

Shiho Miyano gave Qi Ming a disgruntled look.

She had a vague sense of unease in her heart.

Could it be...

Shuichi Akai found out that his sister was preparing to return to Japan. Was she kidnapped by Shuichi Akai as soon as she got off the plane?

After all, it's been a long time since I've seen that man; he might be plotting something bad!

……

"It's quite unusual that you guys are all out to eat together."

As they walked toward the private room, Qi Ming asked the three of them curiously.

It's been a long time since he's come back to the organization.

However, he has his own life and is too lazy to care about other things.

"I just wanted to talk about what happened yesterday."

Vermouth answered casually, glancing at Qi Ming.

She now feels that Qi Ming seems pretty good here too.

At least in Vermouth's view, Qi Ming was the one who knew everything.

"It's about that news from yesterday."

Qi Ming raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Really? You have an idea?"

"...maybe a little."

"Cough cough!"

Shiho Miyano suddenly quickened her pace, stepped forward, took Qi Ming's arm, and stood between Qi Ming and Vermouth.

"Let's talk inside later, what's the point of talking here?"

"..."

Vermouth watched Shiho Miyano's actions and gave a soft snort.

Jealous? That's hilarious.

Although I am indeed better looking, have a better figure than you, and have a more refined demeanor than you.

But being with this man would shorten her lifespan, and she wasn't about to invite that suffering.

Gin glanced at Qi Ming, feeling a strange unease in his heart.

what is this?

The organization's former traitor and former loyalist, now the boss, have teamed up?

It's somewhat magical.

But compared to this increasingly surreal world, this scene seems easier to accept now.

After all, he had seen a living dead person on TV yesterday.

Kudo Shinichi!

Although he still wouldn't remember the people he had killed, he couldn't help but hear Vodka constantly nagging in his ear while watching TV yesterday.

They even retrieved the kill data from that time on the computer.

Gin's memories were forcibly awakened even though he didn't want to remember.

On the other side, seeing Shiho Miyano holding Qi Ming's arm, Vodka didn't want to say anything.

He didn't really know why he came; he just followed his older brother who asked him to come along.

He still remembers the look Vermouth gave him when they met.

I particularly dislike it.

The staff member led everyone to the private room and smiled at them.

"It's right here. Um, would you like to order something else?"

"Okay, one of everything on the menu."

"Eh?"

Vermouth shook her head and sighed as she looked at the staff.

"Listen to him, he's our boss."
