Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

As soon as Lin Jiayou finished speaking, Chianti and Tequila made a knowing look on their faces.

Cohen, on the other hand, was stunned.

It's obvious that they're preparing a speech.

Upon seeing this, 'Asai Narumi', also known as Miyano Shiho, gently touched Hayashi Chia-yu with her hand at her side.

You'd better speak up for me!

Lin Jiayou then gave her a look.

I'm too lazy to explain anymore, you can figure it out yourself.

Shiho Miyano: ? ? ?

Her eyes widened slightly.

No, I can't change my voice. What am I supposed to do if you don't cooperate?!

We'll see.

A hint of mockery flashed in Lin Jiayou's eyes.

Sherry clenched her fists.

That wretched Cherry...

"Cough cough,"

Lin Jiayou still used ventriloquism to speak.

This cough gave Shiho Miyano a chance to react, and she quickly cooperated by making the corresponding movements.

Lin Jiayou's voice was rather weak, making it somewhat difficult for listeners to hear.

"Good evening, gentlemen. Ahem... I'm very happy to have a late-night snack with you all tonight."

"Ahem... I'm so sorry, my throat's been a bit sore lately, I can't speak very well, cough cough cough..."

Upon hearing this, Tequila was slightly taken aback.

Eating barbecue when you have a sore throat? Isn't that a bit...?

He immediately realized that Cherry must have brought her little sister to make them, the official members, more familiar with the place.

This is also a way of saying that I'm the one mentoring this newcomer, and I'm keeping an eye on her, so don't order her around all the time...

Yes, I can understand.

Agave nodded silently to itself.

Chianti has a lot to consider.

She glanced at Asai Narumi, then at Hayashi Keisuke's cold exterior, and a terrifying thought formed in her mind...

Could it be that Cherry actually...

Eek—

Disgusting...

Thinking this, Chianti quickly shook her head, then grinned and took Shiho Miyano's arm.

“Sungmi, we meet again.”

"Don't be so reserved, come on, call me 'sister'..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Chianti's enthusiasm caused even Shiho Miyano, whose voice hadn't changed, to cough unconsciously.

Lin Jiayou squinted, staring at a certain enthusiastic mushroom-haired woman.

"Chianti, I have a feeling you're thinking something rude..."

"Ah, no, no."

Chianti quickly waved his hand.

However, the expression on his face seemed to say, "Yes, Cherry, you're right."

Lin Jiayou sneered inwardly.

He knew Chianti was up to no good; she'd done the same thing to Sherry last time. No wonder Calvados wouldn't fawn over her...

"I'm sorry to disappoint you,"

Lin Jiayou said calmly,

"Asai Narumi is a boy, not a woman."

Nani? !

Chianti and Tequila, including Cohen who was preparing his speech, were stunned.

Well, Cohen was always dull.

Agave's eyes widened, and Chianti's mouth gaped open.

They had met Asai Narumi before, but they couldn't tell she was a man at all!

"Cherry, you're lying, aren't you?"

The words "Tequila" uttered incredulously.

Chianti couldn't help but stretch her hand forward...

Eh?

No, it's not a boy...

Shiho Miyano: !!!

Chianti's move completely baffled her.

She shoved Chianti away forcefully, her face turning as red as a ripe apple...

"Pervert, pervert!"

Shiho Miyano covered her chest with both hands and couldn't help but angrily rebuke him.

Not only her, but Lin Jiayou was also dumbfounded.

No, he just wanted to give them a heads-up, to let them know that Asai Narumi is a boy, so that the female colleagues in the organization wouldn't suffer in the future.

I never expected you, Chianti, to be so ruthless!

Damn, I got right to it right away!

I don't even have that yet...

Cough cough, he never had any interest in that person in the first place, he didn't care at all...

But this is troublesome.

Asai Narumi is indeed a man, but this time it's not Asai Narumi in disguise, but Miyano Shiho in disguise. Miyano Shiho is indeed a woman, and her identity cannot be revealed...

Doesn't that mean that in Chianti's eyes, Asai Narumi will be the woman for life from now on?!

OMG, it seems like we've screwed over Narumi...

"Hahaha, I knew Cherry was lying!"

Chianti was called a pervert, but he wasn't annoyed at all.

Having been in this organization for so long, isn't the word "perverted" a realistic description?

She was initially shocked and angry to hear that Asai Narumi was a boy, since she had taken the initiative to be so intimate with a man, but now she's happy...

Oh my, what an adorable little girl, Narumi! She wants...

babble-

"You're mistaken, Narumi really is a man."

Lin Chia-yu is still trying to defend himself and clear Asai Narumi's name.

But his words sounded so pale and powerless to Chianti, Tequila, and the others...

"I understand, I understand,"

Tequila waved his hand repeatedly, as if he understood perfectly.

How could he not understand? He knew Cherry too well.

Cherry is a typical example of someone who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She likes to keep her thoughts to herself and doesn't say anything. She's practically a super-faster version of Cohen.

It was like this back on Moonshadow Island, it was like this when I was with Sherry, and it's like this now that I'm with my ex-girlfriend's sister...

Sigh, Cherry just cares too much about what others think...

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

Chianti simply curled her lip in disapproval.

"unless......"

As she spoke, she revealed another wicked smile.

"Let me try again. I'm a woman, after all, I'm not afraid of being taken advantage of..."

"roll!"

Without hesitation, Lin Jiayou punched her and told her to get lost.

You're not afraid of taking a loss, but he's afraid that Shirley will take a loss!

After a few more casual remarks, the topic was dropped.

Lin Jiayou has given up hope of proving Asai Narumi's gender and can only hope that when Narumi actually arrives, she can change everyone's perception.

After that, Lin Jiayou, Miyano Shiho, Tequila, and Chianti began to make some preparations.

They were used to it; Gin and Vodka were routinely late.

Tequila also mentioned that Ireland wanted to come and eat there, but since he hasn't arrived yet, he's probably been caught by his strict father...

Lin Chia-yu and others expressed their deep sympathy for this.

Before long, Cohen's speech was ready.

He maintained his consistent, very official style.

"Hello, Ms. Asai, this is our first meeting. Welcome to the organization. I'm delighted to have fresh blood like you. Let me introduce myself, my name is Cohen, and I'm from the organization..."

blah blah blah...

Perhaps due to insufficient preparation time, Cohen's speech this time went on for far too long.

With some parts repeated, Lin Jiayou simply couldn't remember them...

Although everyone was getting a little sleepy, they still gave Cohen plenty of respect.

Even Shiho Miyano, who had heard him introduce the topic many times before, listened attentively again this time, despite her new role...

Just as Cohen was drawing to a close, the sound of rustling footsteps came from the nearby woods...

The group instinctively became more alert, until they heard an old yet powerful voice coming from the woods...

"What happened...?"
