Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 273 The Darkness Before Dawn 7

After the two finished their brunch, Akikawa Sarana felt that her energy had returned. She rejected Amuro Toru's idea of ​​asking her to rest, and instead helped him clean up the table and put the dishes used by the two into the dishwasher.

Akikawa Sarina leaned against the kitchen counter and looked at Amuro Toru who was washing fruits. "Zero, have you contacted Gin yet?"

Amuro Toru washed a strawberry, removed the stem, and handed it to Akikawa Sarana who was standing next to him. Then he nodded, "Well, I contacted him this morning, and he didn't sound as angry as we thought."

Akikawa Sarana stuffed the strawberry into her mouth, "Hmm, the strawberries you bought are so sweet... Actually, tell me quietly, Gin is not like what the organization says he is. He is actually a very calm person. In most cases, he just looks..."

She was thinking about what words to use to describe Gin, "He just looks a bit perverted."

"I bought it on the street next to the supermarket we often go to. I'll buy some more tomorrow."

Amuro Toru also heard his girlfriend's dilemma. He recalled the previous times when Gin had put a gun to his head. "I think he is quite perverted. He always threatens me with a gun to my head."

"Has he ever threatened you like this?" Akikawa Sarina took another washed strawberry, and her face instantly turned ugly when she heard what he said about Gin's behavior.

"Damn it! He really is a pervert!"

Amuro Toru keenly caught the word "also", and his expression changed a little, "also?"

Akikawa Sarana quickly comforted him, "He usually scares me, and I don't cooperate with him much. Moreover, most of the time I deliberately provoke him in order to solidify my reputation in the organization."

Gin's punishment on her on behalf of the organization is usually just sending her to the laboratory or interrogation room.

Akikawa Sarina began to change the subject, "You have always been following Rum, and recently you have been working with Gin..."

She thought of something when she said this, "Is it the time when the undercover list was leaked?"

Toru Amuro still looked a little unhappy, but he knew that his girlfriend was trying to change the subject, so he followed her answer. As for the rest, he planned to check it out himself later.

He nodded. "It was my mistake that time. I didn't expect someone to sneak into the police station. But now the defense has been readjusted, and no one will be able to sneak in again."

"At that time, I was still in the United States dealing with the aftermath of Pisco's sudden death. I hadn't been back since then, and I only had a general understanding of the incident. It was only after I came back that I learned that you were also implicated."

Akikawa Sarina had a trace of regret on her face, "You almost got into trouble."

Amuro Toru, who had just finished washing the fruit, wiped his hands and reached out to touch Akikawa Sarina's head. "It was just an almost accident. Actually, I was fine. Conan-kun helped me at the time, and Hiro also rushed back."

Akikawa Sarina looked up, "That's still different."

But this matter has passed, and they are not the kind of people who would keep dwelling on such things.

So Akikawa Sarana didn't continue talking about this matter, and just thought about taking revenge on Gin if she had the chance in the future.

She took a fruit plate from Toru Amuro and stuffed a strawberry into his mouth. The two of them walked out of the kitchen, each holding a fruit plate.

"Let's eat grapes tomorrow. I suddenly want to eat grapes. Are the grapes in that store fresh in this season?"

Amuro Toru recalled the freshness of the fruit he saw in the fruit store today, "It looks pretty good today. The fruit in that store is changed every day. I will buy some grapes tomorrow."

"Ah."

......

Some of the washed fruits are also used to entertain guests who will come later.

The place where they live now has already been thoroughly investigated by the public security when Toru Amuro moved in, and they also strengthen the inspection of the surrounding area on a regular basis. In addition, Akikawa Sarana originally bought this house to use as a safe house, and the location is relatively hidden, so they finally held today's review meeting at their home.

The first person to come was Tongzi, who came with Conan. They had exchanged contact information last night. In addition, Tongzi's new home was very close to Conan, so they agreed to come together.

This was the first time Conan came to the place where the two people lived. After entering the yard of the villa, he looked at the entire exterior structure of the villa with some curiosity.

Tongzi was also looking around, she was looking for her friend Haro. Now that she had a human body, she could play with Haro without any worries!

Amuro Toru, who was also standing at the door observing the two people, glanced at Niino Natsuho who seemed to be looking for something. He was not suspicious, but felt that Niino-san's behavior was really strange.

He is like a child who is curious about everything. Although he looks to be in his 20s, his eyes are clearer than those of ordinary children.

Or in other words, it seems more appropriate for Shinno-san's eyes to appear on Conan's face?

If Akikawa Sarana knew what Toru Amuro was thinking at this moment, she would definitely give him a thumbs up and secretly praise his sharpness.

Isn't it supposed to be like this? Her Touko and Conan are completely opposite. One is a mature soul in a small body, and the other is a system that has just become humane in a large body.

Of course, the word "humanity" here is not a derogatory term.

However, she was now in the house preparing tea sets to entertain the guests, so she didn't know about this.

"What are you looking for, Mr. Niino?" Amuro Toru asked with a smile. Sarina said she was trustworthy, and his guard was lowered a lot, so he didn't speak as cautiously as he did yesterday.

The system may not have heard Toru Amuro's slightly kinder attitude towards her, but Conan heard it. He raised his head and looked left and right at Toru Amuro and Niino Natsuho, and when he saw Toru Amuro with a happy look in his eyes and eyebrows, he lowered his head again.

It seems... Miss Akikawa must have discussed Miss Niino's matter with Mr. Amuro last night.

"Looking for Hello, oh... is it called Hello?" Touko blurted out, but then realized that she had made the mistake of being too familiar with the host, so she quickly made up for it, "Sarina-sister said that you have a super cute dog at home, so I was a little curious."

Toru Amuro nodded. He had no doubt about this. After all, it was obvious from the yard of their house that they had a dog.

"Haro has been at the pet store these days, and I haven't had time to pick him up yet."

He gave a brief explanation, and then said to the two people, "Go in first."

Although they are relatively secluded here, it is better not to stand in the yard for too long. Amuro Toru stepped aside to make way for the house, "Sarina is waiting for everyone in the house."

When Tongzi heard that Haro was in the pet shop, she was obviously disappointed, but she immediately cheered up.

Finally, I can see the host. Her data was locked in a small dark room yesterday and was not released until recently. As a "scholar" system, I don't know what to say.

What did her host do with Toru Amuro from last night until today that caused her to be locked up in the small dark room all this time?

The "scholar's" system has added some colors to its head.

"Sister Sarina~" After the system entered the room and changed into the guest's slippers, it pounced directly on Akikawa Sarina who came out with the tea set, and then learned its lesson and braked one step away from her.

Akikawa Sarana was also very happy to see her own Tomoko jumping around. She smiled with a smile in her eyes, "Hoho~"

She turned her head to look at Conan at the door again, "Good afternoon, Conan."

Conan also greeted Akikawa Sarana in a baby voice, "Good afternoon, Ms. Akikawa."

Then he felt a hint of cold air behind him. Conan knew what was going on without turning around. His crescent eyes twitched at the same time.

Hey, Mr. Amuro, is this necessary? He just wants to hear more news later, so he habitually uses the tone he usually uses when trying to get information. Is this necessary? He's about to let off some murderous intent!

If Toru Amuro were asked to answer, he would of course say that it was necessary. Conan is not a real child. He is a high school student who is about to become an adult. Naturally, he will be on guard.

The system didn't care about the person at the door. She took the tray from her host, then smiled and winked at her host, as if to say that she could finally help her host in this regard.

Akikawa Sarina smiled and touched the head of Tongzi, who was a little shorter than her, and said, "Thank you, Hoho."

The next people to arrive were Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda. Conan, who was sitting in the living room reading the intelligence information given to him by Akikawa Sarina, was startled by the two people who walked straight in.

Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it was Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda.

Amuro Toruya looked at the two people who came in and asked, "Why are you two dressed like this?"

Jinpei Matsuda took off the knitted hat on his head, and then took off his long down jacket. Kenji Hagiwara did the same thing.

When the two heard Amuro Toru's question, Matsuda Jinpei rolled his eyes at him behind his sunglasses.

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said to him, "We are afraid that someone will notice us coming here, so we changed our clothes."

As he spoke, his eyes were still looking around the room, and when he didn't see the person he wanted to see, he asked directly, "Where's Sarina?"

Amuro Toru looked at the two people who were sweating profusely, stood up and went to the kitchen while saying, "She and Shinno-san are going to get the information they had investigated before. You two should take a rest first, I'll get you some drinks to cool you down."

He guessed that these two people didn't want to drink the freshly brewed tea now.

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and winked at Amuro Toru, "Thank you~"

The two people who had already changed and hung their coats at the door walked to the seat next to Conan and sat down. Noticing the way Conan was looking at them, Matsuda Jinpei took off his sunglasses and looked back.

"Conan-kun, what are you looking at us for?"

Conan glanced in the direction of the kitchen and then quietly glanced in the direction of the door, then asked quietly: "Are Officers Matsuda and Hagiwara planning to reconcile with Miss Akikawa?"

He had noticed yesterday that the two police officers were extremely angry about Miss Akikawa's disregard for her own safety and taking risks. He thought they would be angry for a few more days.

Hearing Conan's question, Matsuda Jinpei raised his hand and tapped him lightly on the top of his head. The force was just right, so as not to hurt his brain. "It's an adult matter, kids, don't interfere too much!"

Conan was confused. He looked at the information in his hand, then looked up at Jinpei Matsuda. The meaning in his eyes was very clear.

If I were really a child, would you let me watch these? Isn't this an unspoken understanding between us?

Hagiwara Kenji was amused by Conan's confused and shocked look. He put his hand on Kokunran's shoulder with great joy. After laughing enough, he explained to Conan: "Although we were indeed very angry yesterday, what can we do? Sarina is our sister, and a brother is supposed to protect his sister. As for the fact that our sensible sister accidentally did something wrong... then we, as brothers, should be tolerant."

Toru Amuro, who came out of the kitchen with sparkling water, also heard what Kenji Hagiwara said. His brows softened a little. He was not happy because of these two people's unlimited tolerance of Sarina, but he realized that his friends were using another way to make Sarina compromise.

It's the same method he used.

Toru Amuro walked up to the two people, put down the sparkling water, raised his eyebrows and looked at them, without making any comment on what he had just heard.

Just like Sarina herself said, she is a stubborn person who responds to soft words rather than hard ones. If they keep getting angry with her about this kind of thing, it will only encourage her to not treat herself well.

Sarina would reflect on their thoughtfulness. She would rather suffer a loss herself than let people close to her get hurt, so retreating is the best solution.

Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara also raised their eyebrows at Toru Amuro, confirming through their eyes that they were both handling the matter in the same way.

Conan didn't notice the eye contact between the three people. After thinking about what Hagiwara Kenji said, he said with his half-moon eyes: "It's not what a qualified brother should do to indulge his sister without any bottom line, right?"

Although he didn't know much about family education, he had seen so many cases that he knew the impracticability of this method. "Although Miss Qiuchuan is a person who is good at reflection..."

As he spoke, he looked up at the three people and saw strange expressions on their faces.

Conan only felt more confused, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No."

It was Hagiwara Kenji who answered him, "I was just wondering, Conan-kun, you usually understand things very well, why are you a little confused this time?"

"Eh? What's not clear to Conan?"

Akikawa Sarana, who had just returned from outside, heard these words as soon as she entered the room. Hearing Hagiwara Kenji's voice, she felt a little nervous and asked casually.
