Kudo Kazuma left the base, cursing and swearing.

Gin, however, sent him a message after estimating that he had arrived home, telling him to come to the base the next day to pick up the address and key to the safe house.

Upon seeing the message, Kudo Kazuma's face darkened.

Gin really knows how to do things.

Knowing full well that he'd be too lazy to go to the base after he got home...

This is probably because they're afraid he'll just grab someone to do the mission for him tomorrow, so they're using the safe house to lure him to the base.

Rolling his eyes, Kudo Kazuma spoke in his mind, somewhat speechless.

[Xiaoyue, did you copy the notes from Shirley's notebook?]

[Yes, Master, everything has been copied. It's speculated that the content is research data related to APTX-4869. Would you like to take a look?]

If I don't understand it, I won't watch it; I'll leave it to Shirley to handle in the future.

[Speaking of which... this time it's not a scroll, is it? At least use A4 paper, right?]

The first time Kudo Kazuma asked the system Moon Fox to help him copy something, the system actually gave him a long scroll, which made Kudo Kazuma wonder if the system was a cultivator.

This incident meant that for a long time, Kazuma Kudo had to copy or secretly photograph the necessary information himself. This time, it was truly inconvenient, so he had the system take action.

[...It's a computer floppy disk, I've already learned about it...]

Kazuma Kudo: ...

Back at the base, after Gin finished sending the message, he looked up at Vodka.

Vodka, understanding the implication, said, "From the outside, it's said that Danpo just wanders around aimlessly at every house, at most helping to check if the cleanup work is done properly. It's the same at the Kudo residence; he hasn't shown any unusual behavior."

"In addition, the DNA comparison results are also in. Except for Hattori Heiji's blood, which we couldn't get, the other three are not related to Danpo by blood."

"Brother, should we continue investigating?"

Gin was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No need."

Vodka's actions were too obvious; Danpo must have already noticed.

Vodka scratched his head: "Then...then you sent Danpo to monitor Sherry, isn't that...isn't that also a test?"

Gin glanced at him: "Isn't this what Danpo requested?"

Vodka: "..."

Thinking of Danpo's cursing and swearing before he left, he couldn't help but sigh. His older brother still had a way of controlling him.

Late at night, without anyone knowing, Kazuma Kudo, wearing a white hoodie, appeared in Shinichi Kudo's room.

He glared at the picture of Shinichi Kudo looking cool in the frame, then casually opened the old wardrobe that Sherry had opened during the day.

really……

The smallest clothes at the very back of the wardrobe are all identical sets.

Those unaware of the situation might assume it's just a change of clothes for a child, but those who know they look remarkably like Shinichi Kudo might not think that way.

My parents are really something. They're such smart people, how could they make such a mistake? They never thought someone would come to the Kudo residence and rummage through things.

Kudo Kazuma packed up all his own little clothes and threw them into the system space before yawning, cleaning up the traces, and leaving.

The next morning at 9:30, it was still Danpo and Shirley, and the same person who was in charge of driving.

However, Shirley's expression was not very good.

She stared at Kudo Kazuma, her expression displeased: "You're half an hour late."

Kudo Kazuma raised an eyebrow: "Then what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and go, or you'll keep your sister waiting."

After saying that, he got into the car first.

Shirley was furious. What was with that self-righteous tone?

It was clearly Danpo who was late, so why is it acting like she was the one who was late?

After getting in the car, Shirley kept a cold expression on her pretty face and ignored everyone.

Upon arrival, she immediately pushed open the car door and headed straight for the agreed-upon coffee shop.

"Lady Shirley."

He stepped forward from the outside and raised his hand to stop Sherry. Before he could speak, his arm was pressed down by Kazuma Kudo.

Sherry glanced at Kazuma Kudo and walked straight into the coffee shop.

"Lord Danpo, what if...she runs away?"

"Wait in the car."

Kazuma Kudo waved his hand and went into the coffee shop as well.

When he went in, Shirley was acting coquettishly towards a gentle older woman.

So this must be Akemi Miyano.

He didn't go over, but leaned against the doorway, watching with great interest.

It's quite amusing to see the girl, who was just as cold as ice, finally showing her childlike side.

"Okay, as you mentioned in your text message, so I just arrived and didn't have to wait too long."

Akemi Miyano and Sherry sat together chatting, while Kazuma Kudo ordered a cup of coffee and sat at a table by the door playing on his phone.

The two sisters were simply chatting about their recent lives, but as Kudo Kazuma listened, he realized that their conversation had somehow turned to him.

"...He looks somewhat familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before..."

“You’ve seen him on TV, haven’t you?” Sherry glanced at Kazuma Kudo and said nonchalantly, “Your sister probably thinks Danpo is that high school detective Shinichi Kudo. They look a lot alike.”

"Danpo?" Miyano Akemi exclaimed in surprise, "Codename member?"

She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and asked, "Why did you suddenly send codenamed members to monitor us?"

She felt uneasy. She did intend to take her sister away from the organization, so what did Gin mean by sending codenamed members to monitor them at this time?

A warning?

Just then, the person in charge of driving walked in.

"Lady Sherry, one hour is up."

Shirley gripped her bag tightly, a look of dissatisfaction and resentment on her face.

But she knew that even if she was a codenamed member, the peripheral members wouldn't listen to her on matters like this...

"Get to what?"

Kudo Kazuma, resting his chin on his hand and stirring his half-finished coffee with a spoon, said nonchalantly, "Didn't Gin say it's a holiday? Don't you even know what a holiday means?"

He ignored the hesitant voices around him and turned to Sherry and Akemi Miyano: "Since it's a holiday, where are you going to go?"

The two sisters exchanged a glance, and Shirley looked at Kazuma Kudo before saying to her older sister, "Let's go shopping. It's been so long since we went shopping together."

Akemi Miyano smiled and took her sister's hand, then smiled at Kazuma Kudo and said, "Thank you."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "The biggest thanks you can give me is for not letting me carry your bag."

Therefore, the person carrying the bag became an outsider.

He desperately wanted to refuse, but he couldn't afford to offend Danpo...

Kudo Kazuma didn't keep a close eye on the two sisters; he just kept a distance. Once the two sisters entered the store, he would find a place to sit down and play on his phone.

He didn't even approach the two sisters when they were eating.

At 5:30, he waved his phone at the two sisters and said, "It's time to go home. I'm off work."

Shirley had already realized that he wouldn't make things difficult for her like other members of the organization, so she took the initiative to ask, "Isn't it a holiday? Why is there still talk of leaving work?"

"Sister, you're on holiday, but I'm working overtime."

Kudo Kazuma looked at Sherry with sincere eyes: "Today already counts as overtime, you don't want me to work overtime again on my way to work overtime, do you?"

He's not even this ruthless to his own company's employees.

Miyano Akemi couldn't help but smile when she heard his words. She took Sherry's hand and said, "Let's call it a day, Shiho. Remember what your older sister said. See you next time."

“Sister, you…” Shirley gripped her sister’s hand tightly, then slowly let go, and said, word by word, “You must take good care of yourself.”

After the sisters parted ways, Akemi Miyano looked at Kazuma Kudo and asked, "If there's a next time... and I meet Shiho, could you come again?"

Kazuma Kudo nodded: "I can come as long as you pay me overtime."

As for the fact that there won't be a next time, then it's not his fault.
