"It's been so long already~ Sister Narumi sure takes her time in the bath..."
It had been nearly an hour since Aso Narumi went in to take a bath.
"Maybe she's soaking in the tub." Without thinking much of it, Kurumi continued reading the rather complicated medical book.
A little while later, the bedroom door was finally pushed open.
"Sister Narumi, are you done bath—?" Seeing Aso Narumi walk in wearing a bathrobe, Kurumi had been about to greet her, but the unsteady steps and flushed face made her look puzzled.
Do real girls all look like this after a bath? Kurumi couldn't figure it out.
"Um, Kurumi, I washed your clothes too." For some reason, Kurumi felt that Narumi's voice sounded a little lazy.
Still, curious as she was, Kurumi had originally intended to wash her own clothes. Upon hearing that Narumi had already washed her underwear, she thanked her anyway.
"It's nothing~" Narumi's smile looked somewhat awkward.
After all, she couldn't exactly say that she had just gotten Kurumi's underwear soaking wet.
That would be embarrassing if Kurumi found out.
Aso Narumi felt like she might just die of social embarrassment.
Sitting on the bed, Aso Narumi took the initiative to chat with Kurumi about all sorts of things, trying to ease the awkwardness after having used Kurumi's underwear and image as side dishes just now.
And as they chatted, little by little, the two ended up talking on the bed.
Narumi's bed was not particularly large, but since they were both girls with relatively petite builds, it was not too crowded even with both of them lying on it.
"Kurumi, what are you planning to do next?" After turning off the lights, Aso Narumi tilted her head and looked at Kurumi's beautiful face just inches away.
"Hmm, about that..." Conan's appearance had indeed disrupted Kurumi's original plan.
On top of that, because of their agreement, neither Kurumi nor Narumi could personally kill Kuroiwa and Nishimoto.
That condition was rather restrictive.
Fortunately, Kurumi always had several backup plans for anything she did, so she was not worried at all.
"Don't worry. I already have a new plan." Kurumi's confident tone put the worried Narumi much more at ease.
As time passed, Aso Narumi felt the person she had just wildly fantasized about lying defenselessly beside her. Listening to the steady breathing so close at hand, her heart, which had only just calmed down, began pounding again.
As if possessed, Aso Narumi stared at Kurumi's soft lips and couldn't resist leaning closer...
Smuggling the Troops Past Chencang
Soft lips pressed against Kurumi's.
Feeling that heart-stirring softness, the slightly shy Aso Narumi squeezed her eyes shut, not daring to look at Kurumi's breathtaking sleeping face so close by.
However, Aso Narumi, who was secretly taking a taste, did not know that Kurumi had already woken up the moment Narumi leaned close. Kurumi had merely wanted to see what Narumi intended to do to her, so she continued pretending to be asleep.
What Kurumi had not expected was for Aso Narumi to be so bold as to steal a kiss from her. Besides her surprise, Kurumi also felt a little secretly delighted.
That makes things easy!
Overjoyed, Kurumi secretly narrowed her eyes to a slit. When she saw that Aso Narumi still had her eyes closed, Kurumi decided she could not let such a good opportunity slip away.
Before Aso Narumi could prepare herself at all, Kurumi opened her mouth, and her soft, slick tongue invaded Narumi's mouth.
"Mm! Kurumi?"
Feeling the intruder in her mouth, Aso Narumi's eyes flew open. With a shocked expression, she quickly pulled her head back.
"Hehe~ I never expected you to be this bold, Sister Narumi~" Kurumi licked her lips seductively. The smug, teasing look on her face made Narumi blush after realizing she had been caught red-handed.
She hurriedly tried to explain, "No, it's not that, I just..."
Seeing Narumi's face turn bright red with embarrassment, Kurumi decided to strike while the iron was hot. She sat up and swiftly pressed Aso Narumi beneath her.
The blanket slipped off, revealing Kurumi's loose sleepwear and the lovely sight within the gaps.
The naturally hanging yet still deep cleavage was especially eye-catching.
"There's no 'just' about it~ Since you ambushed me, Sister Narumi, you should be prepared to pay the price!"
Nervously watching Kurumi's smiling face, Aso Narumi finally noticed that Kurumi's left eye, which had always been hidden beneath her bangs, was golden. Nor was it an ordinary eye—it resembled an ancient clock, strange and mysterious.
"I..."
Before Aso Narumi could speak, Kurumi lowered her head and kissed Narumi on the lips.
That nimble tongue invaded Narumi's mouth, wantonly demanding more and giving Aso Narumi a strange feeling.
My body's so hot... and my head feels dizzy.
As Kurumi invaded further, Aso Narumi only let out a couple of token moans before her entire body went limp, allowing Kurumi to "have her way."
More accurately, she was enjoying it...
King Crimson!!!
While Kurumi and Narumi were engaged in a fierce clash—or rather, while Kurumi attacked and Aso Narumi could only defend passively—the situation was the exact opposite for Conan. Full of worries, he returned to the inn and received the expected scolding.
Mouri Ran sternly reprimanded Conan for running around everywhere so late at night.
"What's with you, kid?!"
After being scolded, Conan's mood only worsened.
How can I get Uncle and Inspector Megure to strengthen the guard? Conan soaked in the bathtub with his brow furrowed.
For all his intelligence, he could not find a suitable reason to persuade Mouri Kogoro and Megure without revealing that Tokisaki Kurumi and Aso Narumi were the real masterminds.
But since Tokisaki already said that she and Doctor Aso won't personally act, and if she really has no accomplices like she claims, what makes her so confident that Kuroiwa and Nishimoto will be killed?
What a headache!
Conan scrubbed shampoo into his hair until his whole head was covered in foam. Though he was nearly racking his brain apart, he simply could not understand why Kurumi had agreed to a proposal that offered her no benefit whatsoever.
At that moment, Mouri Ran had already made the beds in the room. After waiting and waiting without seeing Conan emerge from the bathroom, she grew a little anxious and walked to the door to knock on it. "Conan? Are you done washing yet?"
Hearing Ran's voice outside, Conan realized he had wasted too much time and hurriedly replied, "I'll be done right away, Ran."
Conan frantically rinsed off the foam, dried himself with a towel, then walked out of the bathroom in his bathrobe.
"Honestly, it's already very late." Mouri Ran puffed out her cheeks slightly. "And with something so frightening happening on the island, why did you still go out to play, Conan? Aren't you afraid of danger?"
Hearing the concern in Ran's voice, Conan felt somewhat embarrassed too.
Scratching his head awkwardly, Conan lowered his head and said, "Sorry."
Seeing Conan's sincere attitude, Mouri Ran did not know what else to say.
"Forget it. We should be getting to sleep too."
Looking at Mouri Ran lying in her bedding, Conan suddenly remembered that Mouri Kogoro had not scolded him tonight.
"Oh, right, Ran, where's Uncle?" Conan asked as he dried his hair with a towel.
"Dad is still with Inspector Megure. It seems they're going to secretly transfer Kuroiwa and Nishimoto back to Tokyo tonight." After thinking for a moment, Mouri Ran said, "Dad said it was enough for them to be there, so he told us to return to the inn."
At the mention of criminals finally being punished by the law, Mouri Ran's tone became much brighter.
"Wait, Ran, are you saying Inspector Megure and the others are transferring Kuroiwa and them tonight?" Conan's face filled with surprise as he realized what she meant. "But didn't they say earlier that they were waiting for support from Tokyo?"
"I'm not really sure about that either..." Faced with Conan's question, Mouri Ran had only heard a rough outline from Mouri Kogoro, so her explanation was vague as well. "It was Inspector Megure and Dad's idea. They said they wanted to catch the murderer off guard. As for the rest, Dad didn't tell me."
Conan was deeply shaken by the news.
But more than that, he silently gave Mouri Kogoro and the Tokyo police a thumbs-up for finally being reliable for once.
Hehe! Tokisaki, you never expected Uncle Mouri and the others to pull a secret transfer tonight, did you?!
Secretly delighted, Conan knew full well that the two would not attack the other villagers. So long as those two scumbags were moved away in the middle of the night, no matter how capable Kurumi was, could she really chase them all the way into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?
It was in the bag. This was absolutely in the bag!
Thinking about the surprise and anger on Kurumi's face when she learned the news, Conan felt much of the frustration from being constantly stymied all night finally fade away.
I Was Careless!
Late at night, Kurumi sat on the bed after finishing her battle with Narumi.
Admiring Aso Narumi's lovely body, drenched in sweat from the fierce battle, as well as her endlessly charming face, Kurumi was in an excellent mood.
"Phew~ Kurumi, how... how are you so good?" Narumi panted. After being happily played into four GG losses by Kurumi's one-sided assault, Aso Narumi's stamina bar was completely empty as she looked at Kurumi's sweat-dampened white back with sultry eyes.
Taking Narumi's praise to heart, Kurumi, who only lacked a post-battle cigarette, proudly declared, "Of course. I'm naturally gifted!"
After savoring Narumi several times to her heart's content, Kurumi was in an exceptionally good mood.
Especially after learning that it had been Narumi's first time, the joy in Kurumi's heart was almost beyond measure.
"All right, Sister Narumi, get some rest first. I'll go get another blanket for us to use."
Looking at the bed sheets beneath them, soaked over a large area, Kurumi climbed out of bed.
"Mm."
Already completely weak but feeling incomparably refreshed, Aso Narumi struggled to pull the blanket beneath herself.
"I'll have so much to wash again tomorrow~" Narumi's slightly hoarse voice was proof enough of just how fierce the earlier battle had been.
The next morning.
Leaving behind Narumi, who was still asleep from exhaustion, Kurumi washed up, got dressed, and prepared to head to the Community Center to check on the situation.
Just like before, police officers were stationed all around the Community Center. Although the placement did not appear professional to Kurumi, it was nevertheless obvious that she could not repeat her previous method of getting in.
The officers stationed at those positions not only had an advantage in their fields of view, but could also watch one another, preventing another officer from being knocked unconscious in a blind spot.
"Interesting!"
Hiding in the shadows, Kurumi made a rough calculation and curled her lips into a slight smile.
She liked a challenge!
Since she did not know how the police were arranged indoors, Kurumi decided to launch her assault directly through the second-floor window of the room where Kuroiwa and Nishimoto were being held, in order to avoid any unexpected situations.
Even if there were police inside, or even Mouri Kogoro, she could simply use King Crimson to knock them out.
After all, her agreement with Conan was only that she would not personally kill Kuroiwa and Nishimoto. It did not mean she could not act against anyone else.
Besides, she was not killing them. She was merely knocking them unconscious.
By that logic, it did not count as hurting them.
No sooner thought than done.
After Kurumi bypassed the police and passed through the bushes to reach the other side of the Community Center, she found that the police had not stationed anyone here.
Walking up to the wall, Kurumi summoned King Crimson.
After having it crouch halfway down and clasp its hands together in a lifting gesture, Kurumi stepped onto King Crimson's large hands with one foot.
Up!
At her command, King Crimson's tremendous strength launched Kurumi up to the second floor.
Gripping the windowsill firmly with both hands, Kurumi nimbly flipped through the window, which the re-summoned King Crimson had opened from inside.
Tap.
Her feet landed on the floor. Having safely entered the second-floor room, Kurumi knew she could not waste too much time here.
After knocking out every police officer along the way, Kurumi finally reached the target room.
Now this is what you call infiltration!
Having enjoyed herself, Kurumi did not immediately push open the door. Instead, she had King Crimson phase through it first to scout the room.
Mouri Kogoro and Inspector Megure are in there too... Using King Crimson's vision, Kurumi saw the two people who could obstruct her operation. One was sitting in a chair reading a newspaper, while the other was staring at the bed in the corner.
Judging from the bulges beneath the covers, Kuroiwa and Nishimoto should still be asleep.
Seeing this scene, Kurumi could not help but marvel at how carefree those two were.
