Everyone is urging me

The weird vibe ends when I decide to have lunch.

Gin has never been used to my leisurely lifestyle, and this time I brought up a topic that has nothing to do with the mission, and he doesn't want to stay here any longer.

If he wants to leave, of course I can't stay.

In order to show my fairness, I thought I was very considerate and said goodbye to him when he left, "Ah Zhen, walk slowly, have a good trip!"

Qin Jiu had already walked to the door at that time, and when he heard me yelling, his eyes shot over.

...Well, no matter how you look at it, you don't look happy.

I kind of don't understand what he's thinking.

Don't call my name, he snorted at me unhappily, call it now, he looks at me like a fool again.

It's hard to serve.

Of course.

What puzzled me even more was that as soon as I sent away the gin, Bourbon, who was originally in the kitchen, came over with a bowl of fruit salad. The fact of sending fruit itself did not make me vigilant, but him. With a smile, he forked the biggest piece for me and handed it directly to my mouth.

...Can I not eat?

Of course it is impossible.

After all, I just hesitated for a while, and Bourbon's smiling expression made me panic even more.

I swallowed with tears.

"Is it tasty?"

"...It's delicious."

Afraid that he would trick me, I immediately added, "Although it's delicious, I think one piece is enough."

He showed a regretful expression.

I'm pretty sure Bourbon was mad.

If you want to ask me why I know...

How could bourbon, who has lived with me for so many years, not know my dietary preferences?

But the fruit he just fed me was avocado, which I would never touch in salads!

I don't even believe that I'm not angry!

He didn't bother me after all.

The rest of the salad is my favorite fruit, and the accompanying drink is also my favorite taste.Even the sandwiches I asked him to make, he finished quickly, cut them up and put them in front of me.

But when I invited him to lunch, he smiled and declined.

...Does this mean you are still angry?

"Heh, man." Shuling sat at the corner of my dining table, and it sighed without any scruples, relying on others not being able to hear what it said.

And I didn't dare to talk, and ate quietly.

Seeing that I had almost eaten, Bourbon collected the bowls and chopsticks for me, washed them for me and put them away.

The whole process was smooth and smooth, and I didn't give me a little time to interrupt.

Just when I thought he was done and could have a good discussion about the situation just now, Bourbon directly blocked my opening statement on the grounds that he needed to track down Ley and contact Scotland to let him continue to pretend, and left without looking back.

what's going on?

Is this what I mean by being "abandoned" by both of them?

— Can anyone explain why they are angry?

I can't figure it out.

But in the end, I have enough food and drink, and I can continue to plan how to go next.

Shu Ling, who was watching the whole process, watched me go from being confused to working in a second, and couldn't help but click twice.

After I looked over, it shook its head seriously, and said, "I think I made the right choice at the beginning."

"what?"

"It's the script of the triangle, oh no, the quadrilateral love, you can actually do it." It floated over, patted me on the shoulder, and said with an encouraging and lively attitude, "How about this book? Don't try that one again? You are optimistic about you."

I showed half-moon eyes, "Don't even think about it."

But hearing it say that suddenly, I think it should have seen why Gin and Bourbon were abnormal just now.

"What are they doing?"

"Didn't you say that?" Shu Ling turned to look at me in amazement, and replied without any flaws, "They are under too much pressure from work, just like girls always have a few days when they are in a state of blowing up at one point. "

...but aren't they all men?

I think so.

But it wasn't really that important, so I easily accepted its nonsense.

Of course Ley didn't catch it.

Although the United States has organized strongholds, it is still not enough compared to Japan.

The people sent by Gin to the United States fell into a sea, and finally he went to battle in person.

After some confrontation, the two were tied, and neither could do anything to the other.

The United States is the territory of the FBI. If Gin can make a tie, no one will say that he is not doing well.

Only Gin felt that he had failed, saying that sooner or later Akai Shuichi would regret cheating the organization.

Of course I didn't punish him.

On the contrary, my grandfather heard about this incident, and said to me a little reproachfully, "You shouldn't let him go, the moment you know his identity, you should solve him."

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, there was a little accident." I didn't refute, and replied with lowered eyebrows, "But I didn't gain nothing."

"Shuichi Akai wanted to find out my identity, so he accepted the test without complaint, just wanting to use Phoenix's hand to find out the inside of the organization."

"but……"

"Not only did I not expose myself, but I also got the email address of his superior."

I revealed to him the information I had before reading the file.

In order to keep his "family affection" for me at the value I need, appropriate comfort and weakness are the best choices.

"Yeah." He was a little relieved to hear that although I failed to catch Akai Shuichi, but I managed to win the round, he said, "You just need to be careful."

My hacking skills are superb as he witnessed.

So knowing that Hideichi Akai failed to get the important information, and even got the information from me, he was finally satisfied.

"But don't underestimate the enemy." Karasuma said in a deep voice, "Akai Shuichi... If you let it go, it may become a deadly 'silver bullet' for you and me."

- oh well.

The name still exists.

"I've heard about Scotland. You have arranged it very well. Let him continue to lurk." He suddenly mentioned Scotland, which made me vigilant.

I heard from his words that although he has retreated behind the scenes, there are still some members in the organization who ignore my orders and disclose information to him, "If you are not sure of killing with one blow, don't let him expose himself."

"Yes, I understand." Although I had a lot of thoughts, I bowed my head to him in an unobtrusive manner, showing a docile look, "Scotland is a thoughtful person, he knows what he should do."

"As for Ley and Akai Shuichi... I will pay close attention to the development of the United States, find and eliminate this threat."

He smiled and patted my head, like an ordinary, kind elder.

But I am sober.

Renye Karasuma's affection for me is based on the fact that I can help him realize his ideals and strengthen his organization.

Not to be believed.

This incident came to an end for a while, and I returned to my daily life.

After dealing with organizations in the United States again, I finally got an intention to cooperate with one of them.

He is interested in the program in my hand (the USB flash drive he snatched from the programmer), and I have ideas about the technology he developed intelligently.

Plus I've heard his people are still working on a DNA testing system, and that's what I need to add to my program.

One is a programmer enough to "control" all human beings, and the other is an information emperor who has created artificial intelligence and holographic games.

The cooperation of the two can create more value.

No?

However, there is no rush to cooperate.

Even if the two sides try to run in, it will take several years.

I can wait.

Fast forward to a year later.

When I received the sudden message from Belmode, I suddenly realized that the plot of the original book had already come here.

In New York, one year after Rye's defection, it was the day Belmode met her angels.

And the news I received was that Belmode told me that she planned to pretend to be a "silver-haired murderer" and lure Akai Shuichi, who was found by Gin, to solve the action plan.

I stared at the message interface for a long time.

It wasn't until the book spirit at the side felt strange and called me a few times that I quickly typed out the characters "Permission".

"Huh? I thought you wouldn't let her go, or find someone to help her or something."

"Why do you think so?" I glanced at Shu Ling, "Do you think he can prevent Kudo Shinichi from saving Belmode? That's one of his foreign aids."

"If you think about it, it's not that you can't harmonize this incident."

"It's not necessary." I couldn't hear the good or the bad in my tone, "How do you say something? It's better to be blocked...Since there is a plot, let's let it go."

"Then you shouldn't save it."

I became angry when I was exposed by it's small actions, "I am rigorous!"

It shrugged and didn't bicker with me.

ok I admit it.

I do care a little bit.

So I secretly followed to New York, secretly observed Kudo Shinichi and Mourilan rescued Belmode who stumbled and fell down the stairs, it is also reasonable, right?

I watched with cold eyes the scene where Belmode was rescued.

But Hands honestly replaced all the surveillance around him, and by the way, notified the nearest organization members, asking them to lure away the FBI who wanted to catch Belmod in the name of Phoenix.

After doing all this, I finally saw Kudo and his little girlfriend leave.

It wasn't until Belmode hid in the dark and took off the disguise of the murderer that I walked to her hiding place with the most commonly used disguise of a blond-haired blue-eyed boy.

She obviously didn't miss my footsteps, and she had already touched the gun with only one bullet left by her waist.

This vigilance is justified.

Because she didn't arrange for someone to meet her.

"Bermode." I didn't get too close, but stood under the moonlight and spoke.

She recognized my voice, but didn't answer.

"Akai Shuichi was lured away by me, you can come out now."

I can't tell what thoughts are circling in my head now, but at least I heard my voice very calm, "Or, should I send you an email to prove my identity?"

After that, I twitched the corners of my mouth in a self-deprecating manner, and changed the male voice back to my own, "Whether it's a code member or another one."

This has already been stated.

I am Phoenix himself.

"Why didn't I know you came to New York?" Bellmode finally said, her waist was shot and wounded by Akai Shuichi, and now it is difficult to move, "The others just let you come?"

"What do I want to do, do I still need to look at other people's faces?" I stabbed lightly, I was silent for a moment, and then I took the initiative to give a hint.

"I saw the heroic appearance of those two children who saved lives just now."

"...just two naive brats."

Belmode made his words without any partiality, and was even too cold and heartless, "It's so stupid to save a murderer that I can't help laughing."

"You should know that if you want to get rid of some things, you can't just say a few words."

She stopped talking.

It should be that I heard the displeasure in my tone, and I was nervous about the order I would give.

For a moment, all I could hear was her masking her heavy breathing.

—Is she afraid?

Afraid that I would do something bad to Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran, her angel.

a little……

It's a little unpleasant.

"I told you a long time ago."

This unhappiness made me say something unexpected.

"Don't trust others casually, even those who show kindness to you... Did you listen to the 'anti-fraud rules' I read to you as a joke?"

What I said made her think of something, the breathing that was pretending to be steady is now chaotic.

[At that moment, Belmode thought of the past. ]

[As if she was hallucinating, she recalled that more than ten years ago, her little girl introduced "One Hundred and Eight Ways to Prevent Fraud" she brought back from abroad with a serious attitude. ]

[……is it possible? ]

[Or is this just another way for Phoenix to test her? ]

I don't want to wait for her to sort things out.

This time, I went straight into the shadows where she was hiding.

At first glance, I could clearly see the gunshot wound she was covering.

How to do?

I suddenly felt more angry.

Take three breaths to calm down.

After calming down, I squatted in front of her, took out the small medical bag I had been carrying, and helped her deal with the gunshot wound in her abdomen.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not here to ask the teacher for a crime."

"You just..."

She seems to want to confirm something, but I don't want to answer her right now.

"I don't care if you have compassion for the person who saved you, and I don't care if you have a heart for the light, because that's all human... Ah, except for the gin one."

I softened my tone and made a small joke before continuing, "I know that people who are in the dark always hope to find their own light."

"But Belmode, I hope you remember...too hot light will only burn people who are used to darkness."

Put medicine on her and wrap her in a bandage.

When I looked up after finishing everything, I happened to meet her complicated eyes.

"...I will not betray the organization," she said.

"I know you won't." I interrupted her explanation without thinking, and put my hand on her shoulder, "I won't stop you from paying attention to those two people."

Her expression was more complicated, maybe she was still doubting that I was playing hard to get, "Did I say that? I'm super capricious."

[Like another reminder. ]

[Bermod hears another memorized word. ]

[She vaguely remembered that when she praised the little girl for being obedient and obedient, the little girl refuted herself without even thinking about it. ]

[At that time, what the little girl said was, "I'm not good, I'm super capricious!"]

[The unbelievable truth came to her mind again. ]

A long time ago in the past, I told the other party my true disposition.

It's just that she didn't seem to take it seriously.

"Although not all, the confidantes I recognize are equivalent to 'family'."

"Everyone can have their own preferences, and everyone can have people that only they know and care about."

I emphasized my tone.

"but--"

"I won't allow betrayal of my family."

"Especially for 'Outsiders.'"

I think Belmode must be in a complicated mood right now.

it's fine.

I've already saved it.

If I can't do it directly, I can continue to subtly influence her thoughts, and even simply separate the little girl from Phoenix and completely become two people.

[fantastic. ]

[Belmod thinks. ]

[If it is the lord who knows all this, Belmode will only feel terrified when he hears these words. ]

[She will hide her concern for others, and she will try her best to prove her loyalty and determination not to betray to that adult, and she will even deliberately attack the "savior", just to dispel his suspicion. ]

[But facing Phoenix—no, the little girl in her memory, Belmode felt relaxed. ]

[She can express her concern for the boys and girls without concealment, and she can also hear the coquettish complaints in the words of the other party who seem to be warning. ]

[—Like a child whose mother's attention has been snatched away by others. ]

[Acting like a spoiled child to her mother willfully and seemingly threateningly, she is not allowed to care about other children, but only cares about herself. ]

[Is a cute little machine. ]

I don't know her filter on me, but I can see her softening.

So I struck while the iron was hot and made a request.

"Bermod, don't betray me."

Don't hand over all the kindness you have left just because you were saved.

Their justice is the very poison we touch and die.

[Bermode certainly wouldn't miss her expression. ]

[The expression that seems to be waiting for a sentence is exactly the forbearance that her little girl wants her to stay every time she sends her away, but she can't say it because she is too considerate. ]

[—Ah, so it is. ]

[It turns out that her little girl has always been by her side. ]

I'm a little apprehensive about her choice.

Not afraid.

But knowing that he can reverse the result at any time, he still doesn't want her to make a wrong choice.

[Bermod once regarded the little girl as his angel. ]

[That is the only vitality she can touch, and the only comfort in loneliness. ]

[But now, at this moment. ]

[She doesn't think so anymore. ]

[Because she suddenly discovered that she doesn't need an angel. ]

[The sudden idea at that time was just because I met her little girl. ]

[Her little girl is not an avatar of anything, just herself. ]

[Deceitful, willful, shrewd, very sweet little girl. ]

[The little girl who speaks softly even if she threatens. ]

[Bermod just gets it. ]

[All she needs from beginning to end is the girl's usual care. ]

I quickly settled down.

Because Belmode stretched out his hand and took the initiative to hug me.

"I will not betray the organization." She promised in my ear, "I will always be loyal to the organization and to you."

I don't know if her promise is true or not, but at this moment I have enough chips to bet on her sincerity.

It may be too late to mention it now, but I really don't want to compete with the original characters for the plot.

Probably the more I have experienced, the more I feel that the way of blindly caring about the original plot is psychologically due to my distrust of myself.

——I don't believe that I can get the goodwill of the original characters just by myself.

But in my opinion, the "fetters" obtained by preemptively following the original work can essentially be taken away by anyone.

I don't need such fetters.

What I want is to choose my persistence even after experiencing everything they should have experienced.

I will just be me.

No matter how many identities I have, the only person they see is me.

So I never take the initiative.

I'm going to get them to voluntarily take the bait.

Just as I spent 20 years weaving a web called "companionship" and "family affection" for Belmode, just to completely subvert the chess game in the future.

I think.

Time will prove me right.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

(Changed to the wrong place)

This chapter is a bit long, but I don't want to divide it into two chapters, so I will finish Belmode's affairs in one chapter.

So it is not unjust for Kudo to lose.

↑

Even before they got to know each other, the heroine, as Phoenix, helped Belmode deal with a lot of aftermath.

At that time, Belmode thought she was trying to show her favor, because they were all important people in the heart of the adult, and they couldn't get along too badly.And at that time, she just learned that Phoenix had a little girl, so she was more vigilant, and didn't realize that there were actually many aftermaths, and it was okay without Phoenix.

Now that the identity is revealed, Belmode realized that the "unreasonable" at that time was all based on the heroine helping (protecting) her as a little girl.

In the next chapter, let the squad leader also join the camp of the friends, and then you can write about Conan!

Then the only "super-expansion" in this volume will appear.
