Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"My name is also Quan."

Koizumi added, mumbling, "So, even though the system says it's a random selection, I always feel like it has something to do with the name."

【system】……

Gin silently stored this unknown new term into his memory bank.

Koizumi looked at Gin's face and explained, "Well, system... just understand it as my ability. They can be collectively referred to as 'system'."

Then, she gestured to Sakurai who was standing next to her: "To distinguish between the two of us, she is Sakurai and I am Melo. Is that okay?

"Oh, by the way, I've always been responsible for Mello's identity. Sakurai has never been involved."

She tapped her head and said in a relaxed tone, "According to our agreement, she is here to assist me most of the time. So, to make it easier for you to understand, it's not wrong to say that she is my second personality.

"We originally shared this body, but later on, for convenience, I used my abilities to create a new vessel for her."

"container."

Gin narrowed his eyes and repeated in a muttered tone.

"Yes, it's just a lifeless container."

Koizumi said very seriously: "I don't have the ability to create life, nor do I have the ability to revive anyone. All my skills exist for destruction. Please remember this."

Subtext: Don’t think about your Xiao Yingjing, I can’t save anyone!

Well, actually...

If the puppet is upgraded to its limit and possesses advanced intelligence, it may have the ability to think and learn independently, which would truly be the creation of life.

But she could just think about this idea herself, and she must never tell anyone else about it.

Gin narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a firm tone: "But you can come back to life."

"It's limited, and it comes at a price! If I exceed the limit, I will die."

Gin fell silent again.

After a long pause, he spoke again: "Three questions."

Koizumi nodded: "Well, go ahead."

"First, what is your ultimate goal?"

Koizumi answered without hesitation: "Like I told you before, kill Karasuma Renya and bring down this organization."

"and then?"

Koizumi was silent for a moment, then replied in a more determined and serious tone: "…Go home. Go back to where I should be."

Gin: "...So, you want to kill that gentleman and bring down the organization for this purpose?"

"Yes!"

"Do you know how to get back?"

"...I don't know. But I think I might be able to get the answer from Sister Bayonetta."

"You haven't seen her since then?"

"not yet."

Gin nodded slightly and relaxed into the sofa.

"Second question, what do you need me to do?"

"First of all, my position and identity as a member of the organization will not change. On this basis, I will continue to complete my plans in Tokyo and prepare for the final decisive battle with Karasuma Renya.

"During this period, you don't need to do anything special. You continue to make your gin, and I will continue to make Merlot. We can each maintain our current personalities and relationships.

"However, when I am carrying out some secret operations, in order to avoid revealing my whereabouts, I will let Sakurai remain in the public eye as my stand-in.

"Since you can easily distinguish between the two of us, please help cover up for us and don't let anyone notice anything wrong."

At this point, Koizumi spread his hands and said, "However, it's hard to say if there is anyone else besides you who can detect the abnormality and even distinguish between us."

Well, actually only the five of them could notice anything unusual.

In fact, it's not just five people. Koizumi is not too worried about Date Kou, Hagiwara, and even Furuya Rei.

But what about the person who has a buggy ability to read people's expressions, and the person who has a very good nose, Jinpei Matsuda...

It's really hard to say.

Gin frowned slightly: "What secret operation?"

"For example, I don't want that gentleman to know that I'm going to meet Sister Bay later."

Koizumi paused and said, "Of course, this also includes other people in the organization, as well as possible spies from other forces. I don't want them to know either."

After understanding the meaning of "other forces", Gin curled his lips slightly: "Okay. Then, the third question."

"Well, you said."

"Have you told those two people about what you told me today?"

"Eh?"

Koizumi was stunned for a long time before he realized who the "two people" Gin was referring to were.

"Bourbon and Scotland? I never mentioned that, and there's no need to."

Gin's mood seemed to become cheerful: "Then you'd better not say it again in the future."

"…Uh, okay?"

Koizumi blinked and answered hesitantly, "I really didn't intend to explain it to them."

Of course, the parts discovered or guessed by themselves are another matter.

But what does Gin mean by this?

The third question is a bit unclear.

"Ha ha……"

There was a sound of snickering beside me.

Koizumi turned her head with confusion in her heart, and saw Sakurai with a smile on his face, giving her a meaningful look.

What? Do you understand what Gin means?

Meeting Koizumi's questioning gaze, Sakurai just smiled and turned her head away, seemingly having no intention of explaining to her at all.

Koizumi: ???

So what does Gin mean by this?

...Forget it, if you don’t say it, then it’s not important.

Koizumi simply put the question behind him.

She was thinking, why not just reveal some of her follow-up plans to Gin and hint to him about Fujiwara Yuto's identity first?

Koizumi hesitated for a moment and moved closer to Gin.

"That's all your questions, isn't it?"

Gin glanced at her and said, "No more."

"…Don't you have any questions about the information I told you before?"

"No."

"…Then let me tell you about my subsequent plans?"

"No, don't tell me."

Koizumi frowned: "...Why? Are you afraid that you can't lie when that gentleman asks you?"

Gin gave her a strange look and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Hey, didn't the organization brainwash you?"

Gin: ...?

"They use drugs to give you psychological hints, forcing you to be loyal to the organization and not disobey the orders of that gentleman."

Gin sneered: "If the organization had such means, I would have sent you back to be sliced ​​into pieces long ago."

Koizumi: ...

Right.

"Then why do you always reject my intelligence? Aren't you curious about my special abilities and subsequent plans? Aren't you... worried that I'll trick you?"

Gin gave a normal smile and seemed to be in a very good mood.

He glanced at Koizumi with disdain: "Trick me? The prerequisite is that you have to have the ability to do so."

Koizumi stared.

Gin studied her expression and said, "Or to put it another way, will you cheat me?"

Koizumi: “…No.”

"So, do you have any follow-up plans that require my participation?"

"……No."

"Why should I know that?"

Gin said calmly and confidently: "Don't say anything, don't interfere with my thinking."

Koizumi: ...

So this is the reason why you have been refusing all along?

Although I don’t say it, but I enjoy it by imagining it?

...Damn, my fist is hard.
