Conan: I won’t clean up my innocence after joining the organization

Ai Tanihara in a certain timeline.

In classrooms.

Listening to the teacher's almost hieroglyphic speech on the podium, Ai Tanihara, who was sitting in the corner and successfully got the test paper, couldn't help but rub her hair.

The little girl's feet just touched the ground at this moment.

He sat a little further into the chair and began to swing his feet in the air.

'System, what should I do if I don't understand this?'

Ai Tanihara looked at the question in front of her and her face turned bitter for a moment.

Although she learned Japanese with the help of the system, the questions in the school exam were not the cloze test that Ai Tanihara had imagined at the beginning.

But...

proverb.

Those familiar words from other people's mouths became blank in front of me.

This blankness turns into an invisible wall, separating oneself from others infinitely.

The system with the mechanical announcement sound also took a look at the test paper.

Many books in my consciousness have been flipped through, but none of them are useful.

Everyone was stunned for a long time, but finally, Ai Tanihara couldn't help it and wrote a few words of what she knew in the flower-growing language she was familiar with.

The moment the pen fell, the test paper on the table was taken away.

What followed was bullying that I had never experienced in the past.

After opening the shoe cabinet for the umpteenth time and taking out the indoor shoes covered with rotten eggs, Ai Tanihara closed the cabinet.

From the moment an undisguised chuckle sounded beside my ear, this sound appeared in my ears one after another.

Ai Tanihara turned her head and looked at those people with blinking eyes.

The moment those people whistled, he looked away again.

Bullying has always been serious here, especially in Japan, which is particularly hostile to foreigners in this era.

Not to mention……

Ai Tanihara, who was being laughed at, had an ordinary face at this moment, and she was like a nobody who would not be noticed in the crowd.

In the eyes of teachers who always prefer to keep their affairs to a minimum, this kind of situation is often condoned.

The human skin mask on his face made the covered skin itchy for a moment.

The system did not say anything, but was curious about Tanihara Ai's reaction.

At this moment, it thought of many ideas for revenge and even allowed the host to gain health points.

However, it also knew that as long as it said it, the host in front of it would refuse.

After closing the shoe cabinet door, Ai Tanihara let go of her hand as it had expected.

His eyes, hidden under his black hair, were slightly lowered to the ground, avoiding the sight of those people.

She pursed her lips, and after avoiding those people, she didn't say anything. She just closed the cabinet door, picked up her schoolbag and left.

This is already the third month that Ai Tanihara has joined the organization.

During these three months, I don’t know whether it was a deliberate arrangement by the organization or she deliberately avoided it.

Until now, she has not received any mission that requires taking other people's lives.

After leaving school, Ai Tanihara walked on the street. She tilted her head to look at her reflection in the window.

That face that couldn't stir up any waves in the crowd became the mask of myself who has not yet grown up.

Reaching out his hand and placing it on the human skin mask, for a moment, a feeling of irritation rose in Tanihara Ai's heart.

The fluctuation of emotions made the system stunned, but soon it found that the emotion had disappeared.

……

In a place filled with only black and white, two dark shadows were approaching him step by step.

Ai Tanihara raised her eyes, and the faces of the child she had killed and the man who had caused Matsuda's father to be detained became clearer and clearer in her eyes.

Lower your head again.

The pair of clean hands now contained a blood-stained knife.

The black shadow turned into a corpse and fell in front of her.

At this moment, she looked down at the knife she was holding tightly, and then looked at the two pairs of eyes on the ground that were staring at her when she died.

The knife in his hand fell.

But it didn't hit the ground.

But staring at yourself.

……

Waking up from the darkness countless times.

The moment she opened her eyes, she raised her hand.

Only after making sure it was clean did he close his eyes again.

There is no system sound in my ears.

The only sound left was Tanihara Ai's uneven breathing.

The only system that knows everything about you will not be on your side.

This is something I knew from the beginning.

That system would always discuss experiences with the so-called senior systems after it fell asleep.

Sharing experiences on how to get yourself stained with blood.

Just like now.

He covered his eyes with his hands to block himself from seeing the light coming through from outside the room.

After a long time, a faint sound was heard again.

"I don't want to kill anyone."

There were so many ways for me to appear in front of that person cleanly, but I was pushed up the ladder step by step.

Maybe there will be choices at the beginning, but later on, the choices will disappear from your eyes.

The so-called fate pushed her up the ladder step by step, and if she hesitated for a moment she would fall into the abyss behind it.

……

"Dad! Mom!"

The moment the two bodies fell in front of her, she staggered over.

She seemed to have fallen.

My legs hurt, as they were embedded with a piece of iron that had fallen from somewhere.

Strong emotions made her open her eyes again.

What happened next was that the finger that belonged to someone unknown broke off and fell in front of his eyes.

……

I am used to staying alone in that black box and I always think of one thing.

If I had pushed them away at that time.

If I hadn’t asked my parents to send me to school at that time.

in case……

Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

Every time if it's just myself regretting, I don't want to see the future.

……

The room was quiet again for a moment, the hands that were covering his eyes loosened, and he patted his cheeks.

'You can't show your weakness any more.'

There wouldn't be so many hypothetical fantasies in this world.

Whether in front of the organization or in front of the system.

Now that things have developed to this point, it is not a reason for me to hesitate.

'I have unfinished business.'

That is what attracted me to come to the organization and what I can accomplish.

That will make that person's life free of regrets.

"I am from the organization..."

Ai Tanihara kept repeating this sentence.

It's like putting on a mask that you hate.

Only in this way can she fall asleep again.

……

Ai Tanihara eventually transferred schools, and it was unknown how many times she had transferred schools.

Every time she moved to a new environment, fewer people would choose to approach her.

Every night when I go to the organization for training, I am stuck in a position where I am neither moving forward nor moving forward.

She arrived at the organization too early and didn't know many people.

In this world, too many people will only meet in the future.

It’s just that those people are meaningless to me.

At this moment, I had gained the attention of that gentleman, but it was only for a moment.

If you don't have any outstanding abilities and don't work hard, you will be forgotten again.

Both hands were wrapped with gauze on the parts that were most likely to be worn out. The little figure kept punching, familiarizing himself with the fighting knowledge from his skills.

The rewards from the system were so effective that she wanted to redeem a lot of them at once.

But for some reason, there was a vague idea in her mind that made her give up.

He punched again, and a large hole appeared in the sandbag in front of him.

He retracted his clenched fist with some trembling, and beads of sweat from his forehead dripped onto the ground.

The sound was not loud, but it could have been heard by my past self.

However, at this moment, the only sound that entered his ears was the breathing of his own chest rising and falling.

[Host, exchange your skills. It doesn't require too many lives, and it can also save you from being so tired.]

The system's voice sounded at the right time.

The fist that had been drooping was clenched again.

She shook her head.

"I do not want."

The fist hit the somewhat damaged sandbag again.

Along with that strange stubbornness that is not worth mentioning.

……

People without code names can never escape the organization's scrutiny.

Although no lives were taken, Ai Tanihara still breathed a sigh of relief when she crawled out of the abandoned iron net covered with mud.

The feeling of being watched excites my sixth sense.

She looked up.

The crow's shadow looked at him again.

The puzzle pieces towards the final step are now complete.

She took off the mask on her face and smiled so sweetly that it made people's hearts tremble.

On the innocent face is the iconic devil's smile.

It was also at this moment that she truly stepped into the organization's territory.

"Long time no see, boss."

……

Ai Tanihara's status in the organization was eventually improved because of Karasuma Renya's attention.

The disguise when going to school is no longer just a simple, casual human skin mask.

Although the low-quality human skin mask would not be noticeable to ordinary people, I always felt uncomfortable after wearing it for a long time.

Whenever she took off her mask after leaving school, her face would always turn red from holding it in for so long.

……

There has been a lot more activity in the organization recently.

From Karasuma Renya's mouth, Tanihara Ai heard her fantasy about the legendary drug that could give people immortality.

……

"Eternal life?"

Ai Tanihara murmured the words spoken by Karasuma Renya.

This seems to be something that no one can refuse.

But it seems.

It’s also easy to say no.

...

"what is that?"

At this time, Ai Tanihara, who was less than ten years old, pointed to the place on the map.

That place was marked with a red dot by Karasuma Renya.

The other red dot is Baijiu Pharmaceutical, which went bankrupt in the past.

When the camera above his head turned, there was silence for a moment before he slowly spoke.

"That's a hotbed of miracles, kid."

Ai Tanihara lowered her eyes and looked at the place, blinking, "Then when it's finished, can I go take a look?"

"Of course, good boy."

The person behind the surveillance camera was silent for a moment, but continued to speak the same way.

……

The institute was built anyway.

Thanks to the huge financial investment from the Karasuma Group, the research institute was built very quickly.

Walking into that place with a face that symbolizes privilege.

But not long after, Ai Tanihara rushed out of the research institute and squatted on the roadside flower bed, retching.

After an unknown amount of time, she stood up again.

He walked in with slightly trembling steps.

There was an indescribable strange smell in the newly built research institute.
