After a few seconds, Kami Shita decisively abandoned that plan.
Unless she received a death script, she would not go and provoke those powerful characters. There was really no need for her to risk her life and death for the sake of her second main mission.
The next day, when Kami Shita went to work, she was still as listless as before. It was Megumi Aiko who came and patted her on the shoulder to console the other party.
"Are you not busy?"
"Well, I give myself a break appropriately." Megumi Aiko shrugged. She had no interest in overworking herself to death. Besides, her second main mission was advancing steadily and once it reached 100%, she would be able to get some reward.
As for what that reward is, Megumi Aiko didn't know.
"I see." Kami Shita sighed once again.
Seeing her so listless, Megumi Aiko felt really amused and patted the other party. "Do you want a hug from me too? Just a friendship hug, though."
"Sure," Kami Shita replied with some amusement.
Megumi Aiko hugged Kami Shita and patted the other party gently. But she found Kami Shita stiffened suddenly.
"What's wrong?"
[Main mission 2: Hug 20 main character (17/20) ]
Kami Shita almost thought that she was seeing things wrongly. Because the main mission 2 was clearly stating that she had to hug the main characters.
But Megumi Aiko is…
"Aiko, you're now considered a main character."
Megumi Aiko was stunned too.
After a few minutes, the two of them bombarded the chat group to talk about this matter. They were so shocked by the fact that Megumi Aiko was considered a main character and that there might be a chance for them to cheat the task through this method.
[Public Security Officer [5]: No. 6, try to meet with no. 9 in the hospital to see if she's also considered a main character. We need to figure out the rule to determine whether someone has become a main character or not. It seems that because Megumi Aiko appears commonly in front of Conan or it was because she's involved in the main cast.
Megumi Aiko [4]: I don't care which one it is. All I know is that I should not die so easily now!
Corrupted FBI [8]: I can try hiring people to kill you.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Wait no! Are you crazy no. 8?
High School Student [2]: Forget it, let's try the hug first. You can find me at Teitan High School, no. 6 and see if I have become a main character too. I've been under Conan's radar for a long time.
Kami Shita [6]: Ayee]
…
In this way, no. 6 took a leave and went to the hospital before going to Teitan High School.
The result disappointed them.
No. 9 and no. 2 were not among the main characters.
So it seemed that it wouldn't be so easy to cheat things and No. 6 went back to afternoon work with her head down. She was so excited when she thought that she had found a loophole, but it turned out to be for naught.
No. 6 felt disappointed.
But their disappointment didn't last long because they had to do other things.
After all… there will be a series of accidents before Conan's confrontation with Vermouth during this period of time.
So if they followed Conan, they would be able to have fun.
The problem is, most of them just want to watch.
Participating is too dangerous!
Josh Parker looked at his fellow colleagues and his eyes narrowed slightly. He saw the interview of Conan about some food and then contacted the others.
…
[Corrupted FBI [8]: Do you remember the case where Conan was being interviewed in a TV?
Megumi Aiko [4]: Huh? No, what are you thinking about, no. 8?
High School Student [2]: I'm also watching it, but do you really want to participate? You might bump into your colleagues if you come forward.
Corrupted FBI [8]: Ah, without meeting them, they'll never let me participate in the matter related to the organization.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Huh? You're not part of their team?
High School Student [2]: … I don't think I need to know more information.
Public Security Officer [5]: Do what you want, no. 8. I can't interfere with your career.]
…
As much as no. 5 kept on asking them not to make trouble, he would not make the decision for their career.
These people have their own consideration for their lives and no. 5 couldn't take care so much.
He just hoped that they could stop targeting the Red Party.
It was tiring to clean up the messes.
And at this moment, no. 8, Josh Parker, was looking at Conan who was busy on the scene. Conan was trying to solve the case as fast as possible because Haibara Ai's condition was not right.
He looked at Jodie who was present on the scene, yet Conan was still wary at the other party.
[Corrupted FBI [8]: no. 2, is Jodie still your teacher?
High School Student [2]: Huh? Yeah, I try my best to reduce my presence in her class, though. It's somewhat suffocating to have her watching us. Why?
Corrupted FBI [8]: Because she's on the scene and seems to have found out about Haibara. If I'm not wrong, Akai Shuichi was bugging someone during this period of time, right?
High School Student [2]: …I don't remember the story anymore. Ask others.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Sorry, I don't remember the details either.
Drug Dealer [3]: + 2
Artist [11]: + 3
Journalist [12]: + 4
Doctor [9]: + 5
Public Security Officer [5]: I can lend you a bug detector if you want to.
Corrupted FBI [8]: Forget it. It's not convenient for me to step forward either. My confrontation is with no. 1 and not Vermouth. I shouldn't even know about her.
Akai didn't even tell me much about the organization's matters and you know very well that they're very tight lipped if they didn't want others to know.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Eh, whatever you want to do is up to you. But don't make trouble or I'll catch you myself!
High School Student [2]: …You two, please don't be the downgrade version of Akai Shuichi and Furuya Rei.
Journalist [12]: Pfft. What an apt description.
Doctor [9]: …They're far from comparable.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Hey!!! Don't look down on me so much!]
…
Amidst Megumi Aiko's protesting, no. 8 completely ignored them.
And at this moment, Hikari Yuki was actually present on the scene and was currently looking at the row of police officers' car from outside.
The reason why she's here was because someone called her.
*ahem*
"Akemi… she'll be fine," Hikari Yuki said reassuringly. She felt a headache when she thought about her own work that had piled up and the fact that the confrontation between the FBI and Vermouth is coming.
This time, she had to play the role of the black party too…
"But what if they…"
"I'm one of the few people she called to hunt her down," Hikari Yuki said slowly and then the corner of her lips curled up. "I'll naturally send additional people to ensure her safety."
The Japanese Public Security naturally couldn't be moved openly.
But it didn't mean that she couldn't operate in secret.
Miyano Akemi saw Hikari Yuki's confident look and breathed a sigh of relief. Even though some people's confident look really want to make others beat them up, it was actually quite cool too.
At least, when it's someone reliable on your side, you would also feel confident on them.
"Then, I'll leave her in your care."
"I have made a promise. In the worst case scenario…" Hikari Yuki looked at Miyano Akemi but didn't say the rest.
The latter gave a smile, completely accepting it.
If Miyano Shiho needed to join her as a ghost, then Miyano Akemi would be happy too. No matter what, she just wanted her sister to be safe.
Hikari Yuki looked at Miyano Akemi who was still watching Miyano Shiho from the side and sighed in her heart. Even though Miyano Akemi put her attention on her sister for hours every single day, she still spent her time learning various other useful things.
It was obvious that Miyano Akemi was waiting for the day when she could be released from the ghost's state and then helped her out.
These two sisters were actually really strong.
Their capabilities might be limited, but they have their own way to do things.
She glanced at Josh Parker and Akai Shuichi on the street before she left quietly. Vermouth had already found Haibara Ai from a long time ago. She didn't know why Vermouth hadn't made a move for such a long time, but it might be related to the fact that Calvados was not in Japan during this period of time.
There were not many capable snipers that Vermouth could move at will.
Calvados was one of them.
But the problem is, Calvados also has his own mission since he's part of the action team and could not always be available.
Hikari Yuki lowered her eyes slightly.
'Calvados will die because he committed suicide and I can't really shoot him if my angle is not right… And even if he's caught, it wouldn't be so easy to make him speak since he's so loyal to Vermouth.'
It was not an exaggeration to say that Calvados is Vermouth's licking dog.
Hikari Yuki made a few sets of plans in her mind.
Her ability could cause an illusion as if Calvados died because of other reasons. But if she wanted to take action against Akai Shuichi, she might need to evacuate almost immediately.
Even if the FBI couldn't move openly, she didn't believe they didn't have more people in Japan.
So it's dangerous if she didn't leave after the shooting.
If Akai Shuichi were to catch her… Hikari Yuki couldn't imagine it. Even with the ghost keeping watch for her, she didn't dare to increase the risk unnecessarily.
'But perhaps, I can still save him and capture him…'
The biggest problem is just the fact that Calvados will know that Sherry is Haibara Ai and if this matter spread…
'Wait, will the game allow such a thing to happen?'
Hikari Yuki was stunned.
The game's correction mechanism was really strong.
Even until now, the main reason why she could save Morofushi Hiromitsu was because he was living as a ghost and no one knew about it. Megumi Aiko managed to save Matsuda Jinpei but they were still nearly blown to death.
The two of them spent a long time recuperating in the hospital afterwards.
Well, she will just try.
If it was not convenient, then she would not make any move whatsoever.
With that in mind, Hikari Yuki left quietly.
