Model worker and his little darling

After the three had finished their conversation, Pingqing looked at Koizumi Akako and said, "Miss Witch, would you be interested in joining? I really admire someone as talented as you."

"I have no interest in becoming your subordinate."

Ping Qing shrugged. Okay, they're not interested.

After leaving the coffee shop, Heikiri walked alone on the quiet street, recalling Koizumi Akako's words. Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong; he heard a gunshot and immediately slipped into the darkness.

Having found a good spot, I was about to see what was going on when I saw Chianti and Cohen lying on the roof of a building. Judging from Chianti's twisted expression, they were completely intoxicated.

Looking through the binoculars to the other side, I saw Gin and Vodka there as well.

Taira no Kiyoshi: ...

It's so late at night, turns out it's one of our own.

It seems that Gin brought the two out for training and to complete a mission along the way.

Since Gin was busy, he didn't want to bother him.

Reflecting on what he had seen and heard over the past two days, the old man's goal was not only immortality, but also the woman in the photograph. To defy the tide of time and bring the dead back to life.

The organization not only engages in science but also researches magic. Thinking back to our last encounter with the Inagawa-kai, it seems the zoo is also involved in science.

Thinking of Karasuma Renya, Taira Kiyoshi rubbed his temples.

"Xiao Qi, is the old man really only relying on medication to maintain his health?"

[Host, there are signs of drug treatment on him, as well as fluctuations in other energies.]

"So it really could be a magical family."

Not getting a response from Xiao Qi, Ping Qing pouted, "Xiao Qi, can I learn magic?"

[Host, your teleportation and Black Wings...]

"Hmm? Magic? Teleportation? Tsk, Xiao Qi, when did you start stuttering like that? This is actually a magical world, and you're a magical being?"

Those who possess magic are a very small minority. If they come into contact with too much dark energy, they will lose control.

"Why does it have to be black magic? Can't I just learn red magic from Koizumi Akako? So the old man really knows black magic? He uses magic to prolong his life?"

【Host, you're overthinking it.】

"Really? I'm afraid I'm underestimating things. After all, this world is getting weirder and weirder. I might just die if I'm not careful."

After saying that, Pingqing looked at his hands. His current life was getting further and further away from his initial goal of being a lazy bum. Perhaps he shouldn't have come to Japan in the first place.

But it seems that no matter what, he will eventually come to Japan.

"The magic side, the science side, it's really amazing."

However, both have drawbacks.

Pingqing leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. "I feel really uncomfortable."

"In America, I was either training or at school, so I didn't have time to do anything else. After I came to Japan, I was always out having fun, sometimes not returning to the base for months at a time, and the old man just let me be. Those undercover agents, Sherry, Conan, they all did things according to my plan, even though there were better arrangements, weren't there?"

"It wasn't until I was with Gin that I started to get involved in the affairs of the base, and later managed the base, went to Myanmar, and was guided step by step into it. Now I've gone to the Twilight Mansion and come into contact with magic."

"Xiao Qi, I think my fate in this life will be... the same as in my last life."

【Host, that's impossible.】

"Really? The experiences of the two lifetimes are too similar. Both were trained from childhood, both were assassins, and both had identities outside... except for the unexpected presence of you, and a few memories of this world."

Xiao Qi also fell silent, confirming that what Ping Qing said was true.

【Host, what if all of this is just a coincidence?】

"maybe."

Gin?

"It's not entirely unexpected. The feelings are real, but there can be checks and balances, right? It's the same with family and lovers. Besides, Gin has also sensed the changes in me."

【Host, what are you planning to do now?】

"What can I do? I'll just sleep it off and forget about it, then keep having fun."

He's not a god. Even if he were cheating, he's still just an ordinary person, and besides, he's living a pretty good life now.

Xiaoqi:......

I thought the host had some grand ambitions.

In the silence, Heikichi sensed someone approaching and opened his eyes to see Gin returning with Vodka and the other two.

He flashed a bright smile and waved to the group, "Good evening."

Upon seeing Pingqing, Gin's lips curled into a slight smile. He then sensed that Pingqing's mood was off and walked directly to his side. "How long have you been here?"

"A few minutes, let's go." With that, he left with Gin.

Watching the two leave, Chianti smiled like a doting aunt, "Oh my, what a lovey-dovey couple!" Then she grabbed Cohen and happily discussed what to eat.

Vodka:…

So? He's the only single guy left behind. Can't the world be a little kinder to him?

The two strolled leisurely down the street, their intertwined hands swaying gently. Ping Qing smiled, thinking how wonderful it was to be with Gin.

After walking for a while, Gin suddenly stopped and pulled the person into his arms. "Are you unhappy?"

Pingqing blinked. "With you here, how could I?" She was just a little annoyed.

Seeing this, Gin gave a piece of candy to Heikichi, who hugged Gin with a smile. It was so nice.

"Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you."

Hearing this, Pingqing nuzzled Gin's face and said, "Gin-chan, hold me tight."

After speaking, Blackwing slowly appeared and flew towards Tokyo Tower with Gin in his arms.

The night sky was pitch black, and the night wind rustled the hems of their clothes.

"Koto-chan~, the view here is nice. Standing at a high point can broaden your mind. Not everyone can come here."

Upon hearing this, Gin thought of the Twilight Villa. Clearly, Taira no Kiyoshi's current state was related to that place, or perhaps to the BOSS.

Actually, he longed to see the child who used to chatter away all day, giving him headaches.

Looking at Hirai's delicate features, Gin reached out and touched them, his mind flashing back to Vermouth, Chikako, and the woman in the photo.

Finally, a kiss was placed between his brows.

"what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Taira leaned directly against Gin, their blond and silver hair intertwined, inseparable, revealing the intimacy between them.

"Koto-chan~, I'm so tired. I should have known better than to do so much. I'm such a lazy person, and now I'm so busy I barely have time to breathe."

If he didn't interact with Conan, didn't cause trouble, and just stayed at the base all day, doing two missions a month, would things be different now?

Hmm, that seems unlikely too.

Before Gin could speak, Taira took a step back, smiled, opened his arms, and fell face down.

Upon seeing this, Gin was startled and reached out to grab Hirakiyo, but failed.

Gin then smiled and leaped into the air.

In the night sky, both of them wore crazed smiles; this was their own world.

Extreme madness and romance.

At the cost of life.
