Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 49 The Evil That Cannot Be Burned Away by the Fire of Karma 4

"Hi, Nai-chan's juice, Jinpei-chan and my beer..."

Hagiwara Kenji raised his glass and said, "To celebrate our Nai-chan's successful discharge from the hospital, and to celebrate the long-awaited reunion of the three of us. Cheers~"

Akikawa Sarina and Matsuda Jinpei beside them also raised their glasses in cooperation.

"cheers."

"cheers."

Under the slightly yellowish light in the private room of the izakaya, not to mention Jinpei Matsuda, even Akikawa Sarina, who always had a stern face outside, raised the corners of her lips slightly and looked at her two childhood friends with a smile, not to mention Kenji Hagiwara, who had the more cheerful personality of the three childhood friends.

The three of them in the room could also vaguely hear the music outside and the lively sounds of other people gathering after get off work through the door of the private room. In this kind of environment, there was always a magical atmosphere that made people relax unconsciously.

The place where the three of them were gathering today was chosen by Kenji Hagiwara. Akikawa Sarana heard from him that this was a place they discovered when they were in the police academy, and the food tasted great. Even now, some of their good friends would come here from time to time for a small gathering.

Originally, Kenji Hagiwara had selected several other places for Akikawa Sarina to choose from, but Akikawa Sarina chose this place.

Akikawa Sarana originally thought that since the three of them hadn't seen each other for so many years, if they really sat together and talked about the past, they might just look at each other in surprise.

But when they really sat down, they didn't even need their childhood friend Kenji Hagiwara, who was known as a "social terrorist" since childhood, to lead the topic. Even Jinpei Matsuda, who usually didn't talk much, became much more talkative.

They talked about their life and studies after separation as well as their current work. The three of them chatted for two or three hours. If it wasn't for the late hour, they would have continued chatting.

However, they still deliberately avoided some topics during the conversation. For example, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, who had already communicated with each other, avoided asking about Akikawa Sarina's relationship problems over the years. For example, Akikawa Sarina said that she started talking about her past since high school.

Watching Akikawa Sarina driving away after refusing to be sent home, Hagiwara Kenji put a hand on Matsuda Jinpei's shoulder and said, "It's bad, Jinpei-chan, Na-chan's past experience is the worst we could have imagined."

Matsuda Jinpei also frowned, "Since she doesn't want to say, let's investigate it ourselves."

"Yes, rescue our Nai-chan as soon as possible!"

"It should be so, naturally."

......

After leaving, Akikawa Sarana did not go home as she had told Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei, but drove away to the edge of the city.

After parking the car next to a factory, Akikawa Sarana entered a very ordinary-looking hall from the factory's exclusive passage as if she was familiar with the place. She walked into the elevator in the hall, verified her pupils, and then pressed the down button on the elevator.

"You're late, Limou."

Akikawa Sarana walked out of the elevator and just reached the door of the room when she heard the voice of someone she hated coming from inside. She walked into the room without changing her expression.

"I didn't expect that you, Gin, would personally assign me a mission. This is really rare. Didn't you forbid me from participating in your missions before?"

She didn't answer Gin's question about being late, and of course she knew that Gin wouldn't say anything about her being late.

Gin's cold eyes fell on Akikawa Sarana, and when he noticed her pale face, he felt a surge of annoyance in his heart (▼へ▼メ).

This mission is more important, and Rum and Vermouth both recommended to the boss that Limu be involved. Since his objections were futile, he had no choice but to agree.

He could understand Vermouth, that woman had always doted on Limu, but why did Rum go against his will and let this woman participate in this mission? And the boss clearly knew how unstable this woman was, so why did he agree to the two people's suggestions...

Gin, who was confused, decided to keep a close eye on Limu during the next mission.

"For tomorrow's mission, you will disguise yourself as this person and attend tomorrow's joint meeting on her behalf. Vodka will tell you the details later."

Akikawa Sarina looked at the photo that Gin pushed to her, "Isn't this kind of mission usually handled by Vermouth? Why would she let me do it?"

"Vermouth has other tasks. She is only responsible for disguising you."

Having met the people and assigned the tasks, Gin stood up and left, leaving only Vodka and Akikawa Sarana in the room.

Vodka had never been harmed by Akikawa Sarina, so he had no ill feelings towards her. He shook the USB flash drive in his hand and said, "Limu, get ready to start. You have quite a lot of tasks to do today. After Vermouth has changed your appearance after reading the information, you will have to rush to Fukuoka overnight to replace the target person."

Akikawa Sarana took the USB drive that Vodka threw to her and asked the previous question again, "Doesn't Gin dislike me participating in his mission?"

Vodka did not doubt him and replied with a smile: "Vermouth and Rum recommended you to do this mission."

Akikawa Sarana just felt that something was not right. The last mission had actually exceeded her job scope. Now she was asked to do it again this time. Was the organization doubting her?
