Outlaw in the World of Conan, Tokisaki Kurumi

Inspector Megure, who was lying in wait on Moon Shadow Island, along with almost all other police officers, learned within half an hour of the incident that someone had intercepted the vehicle transporting the prisoners at gunpoint, resulting in the injury of three officers and the deaths of two prisoners.

After leaving a message on Moon Shadow Island saying, "We've been ambushed by thugs," Inspector Megure, his eyes blazing with anger, led all the officers to immediately withdraw from the island, leaving the Mouri family utterly bewildered.

At the inn, Mouri Kogoro indignantly exclaimed, "These thugs nowadays are truly audacious, committing such acts in broad daylight."

Mouri Ran, having learned of the incident from her father, wore a worried expression. "Dad, could it be that those two offended some yakuza by selling drugs? And perhaps they were silenced after being killed?"

Taking a sip of beer, Mouri Kogoro nodded. "That's quite possible. Perhaps the killers didn't want the police to extract any secrets from them."

Beside them, Conan did not join the father and daughter's speculation.

Because he knew very well that if anyone could have done this, it would be Kurumi.

If he guessed correctly, Kurumi had likely already left the clinic and returned to Tokyo alone.

To confirm his suspicion, Conan found a casual excuse and left the inn, his short legs carrying him straight to Aso Narumi's clinic.

He roughly pushed the door open and immediately saw Aso Narumi, wearing a white coat, staring at him with a look of surprise, clearly not expecting anyone to barge in like that.

"I'm asking you, did Tokisaki do that?" Conan asked directly, cutting to the chase.

"That? What are you talking about?"

Ignoring Conan's rude tone, Aso Narumi genuinely didn't know what he was referring to.

After all, they had been quite busy these past few days.

"I'm talking about Kuroiwa and Nishimoto being killed!"

Conan, still catching his breath, hadn't calmed down yet.

"Oh! You mean that incident!" Now Aso Narumi understood.

She nodded. "Yes, that's right."

Aso Narumi's tone sounded as if she was in a good mood.

Seeing her seemingly nonchalant attitude and unhurried tone, Conan became angry. "Didn't you guys promise before that Tokisaki wouldn't act personally? How could you go back on your word?"

Hearing Conan say that, Aso Narumi became unhappy instead. She frowned and looked at Conan irritably. "Listen, great detective, the previous agreement was that those two scumbags were on Moon Shadow Island. Now they've already returned to Tokyo. Is it wrong for Kurumi to have acted?"

Conan's small face turned red, almost unable to catch his breath after being cornered by Aso Narumi's retort. He was momentarily speechless and didn't know how to refute her.

Meanwhile, Kurumi, having already returned home, took a comfortable bath, changed her clothes, and lay on the sofa watching TV.

'System, check current points.'

Kurumi, who hadn't paid much attention to her system for a long time, suddenly thought of it when she had free time.

[Current Points: 9750]

9750 points were the usable points Kurumi had accumulated over the past two years.

With a four-digit number, it wasn't enough to exchange for any good Stands. Currently, if she were to exchange, most of the Stand abilities in the Stand section would be those of minor characters from JOJO.

They were like a chicken's rib – useful, but not very practical.

If she considered it little... there were quite a few technological weapons she could exchange for, but compared to Stands, these externally powered armaments were far inferior in terms of convenience and stealth.

'Forget it, let's check the daily quests first.' With the attitude that even a mosquito's leg is still meat, Kurumi turned her attention to the daily quests issued by the system, hoping to randomly get a reliable task to earn some points.

The next morning, feeling a bit tired and lacking energy, Kurumi, in a rare move, drove herself to the airport in Tokyo.

According to Vermouth's instructions, a character who would play a rather important role in the plot would be arriving on a flight soon.

Miyano Shiho, a genius girl with the Organization's codename Sherry.

In the bustling lobby stood a beautiful, graceful young girl, seemingly waiting for someone.

Due to Kurumi's exceptionally attractive appearance, she was also approached by many people while she was bored waiting for Miyano Shiho.

Some of them were even talent scouts looking for potential stars.

Of course, Kurumi rejected all of them without a second thought, especially the talent scouts who shamelessly approached her and showered her with praise from the start, speaking in a tone and manner that suggested her future stardom would undoubtedly surpass Ono Yoko's. Kurumi found it utterly disgusting.

Kurumi was not some naive girl who knew nothing and was easily deceived.

Did those men really think their intentions could be hidden from her?

So, after Kurumi rejected several people, she finally had some peace while waiting for Miyano Shiho.

About ten minutes later, a girl with short brown hair arrived in the lobby, accompanied by a burly man in black.

Noticing that her target had finally arrived, Kurumi, who was starting to feel sleepy, walked over.

"Sherry?"

Ignoring the large man beside Miyano Shiho, Kurumi looked directly at Miyano Shiho, who was appraising her.

"You are... Bloody Mary?"

Looking at the sweet-faced girl in front of her, who appeared even younger than herself, Miyano Shiho's eyes were filled with suspicion.

As an important member of the Organization, Miyano Shiho had, over the years, heard bits and pieces about Kurumi's codename within the Organization and the amount of blood that had flowed under that codename.

She had once imagined Bloody Mary to be a mature, beautiful, and alluring female spy, like those seen in spy thrillers.

Or perhaps an ordinary appearance, the kind that disappears into a crowd.

Miyano Shiho even speculated that Bloody Mary might actually be a man disguised as a woman.

"No need to look further, it's me." Kurumi read suspicion and surprise from the other party's scrutinizing gaze.

From this alone, Kurumi could imagine that Miyano Shiho's impression of her probably wasn't very good.

"Lord Bloody Mary, as per orders, I need to escort Sherry to her destination."

Since the Black Organization member was not part of her faction, the man's tone held neither respect nor hostility when speaking to Kurumi.

He acted as if he were merely a tool.

65 Escort Mission Completion and the Imminent Cohabitation

His neither humble nor arrogant tone and attitude indicated that the man held some status within the Organization.

However, compared to Kurumi, who already possessed a codename, the man's apparent status was still slightly inferior to hers.

"Here are my car keys. You'll be driving when we depart."

Tossing her car keys to the man from her pocket, Kurumi disliked acting as a 'chauffeur' for people she didn't know.

On the other hand, she wanted to test the man's skills, to see if he was merely showing off or if he had hidden abilities.

The car key, imbued with King Crimson's power, was thrown by Kurumi's right hand with extreme speed and force towards the man's chest from a distance of over a meter.

Clack!

Under Miyano Shiho's slightly surprised gaze, the man's right hand swiftly and accurately caught the flying car key.

Perhaps stunned by Kurumi's sudden burst of power, a hint of pain flickered across the man's impassive face.

Feeling the sting in his palm, when he looked from the car key back to Kurumi, the previous dismissiveness in his eyes was gone.

Because he knew this was Kurumi giving him a display of dominance.

"I understand, my lady."

The man nodded, tacitly accepting Kurumi's new assignment.

Miyano Shiho glanced at Kurumi, then after a moment of thought, a look of amusement crossed her face. "I didn't expect the renowned Bloody Mary of the Organization to be such a young girl."

In fact, Miyano Shiho always felt a terrifying aura emanating from the people in the Organization, especially those with codenames.

But she felt none of that from Kurumi, as if she were just an ordinary young girl, putting one completely at ease.

This made Miyano Shiho a little curious.

"Miss Sherry, haven't you heard that you can't judge a book by its cover?" Kurumi, who had a good impression of Miyano Shiho, teased with a gentle smile. "After all, judging by appearance is not a good habit."

Stumped by Kurumi's retort, Miyano Shiho pursed her lips and fell silent.

She already disliked people in the Organization, and if it weren't for Kurumi's stunning beauty, she wouldn't have bothered talking to her.

After a few minutes' walk to the parking lot, Kurumi had the man get into the driver's seat and then sat in the back with Miyano Shiho.

They arrived safely and without incident at the Organization's research facility in Tokyo. After a series of checks and verifications, Kurumi successfully brought Miyano Shiho to the laboratory within the building.

As for the man who had driven them, Kurumi took back her car keys upon arrival and then unceremoniously sent him away.

Standing before the laboratory door, Kurumi said, "Alright, from today onwards, this will be your workstation, Miss Sherry."

Kurumi's tone suggested she didn't live there. Miyano Shiho, who had been silent the entire way, finally spoke, "Are you really that confident in me?"

According to the Organization's rules, valuable researchers like herself should be under strict surveillance, much like in their American branch, where researchers had to report to security personnel whenever they left their workstations, and were even monitored constantly when resting at home to prevent any untoward incidents.

To Miyano Shiho's question, Kurumi smiled. "I don't care about those restrictive rules and regulations. My task was just to bring you here. As for other matters, someone will remind you later."

Upon hearing this, Miyano Shiho nodded, lost in thought.

After completing her mission, Kurumi returned home.

She was enjoying her leisurely daily life when a few days later, Kurumi received a call from Aso Narumi.

"Hello? Kurumi?"

Hearing the noisy sounds coming from Aso Narumi on the other end of the line, Kurumi knew he must have arrived in Tokyo.

"Sister Narumi, are you done over there?" Kurumi asked with a playful smile, lounging on the sofa and swinging her legs.

"Yeah, there wasn't much left on Moon Shadow Island..." As she said this, Aso Narumi, standing at the pier, lacked confidence.

After all, at her feet were a fully packed backpack and two suitcases.

"Honestly, why didn't you call me before you got on the boat, Sister Narumi? Then you wouldn't have had to wait!" Kurumi's tone held a hint of complaint, as she knew it took a considerable amount of time to drive from Tokyo to the pier.

Aso Narumi felt a bit awkward being lectured by Kurumi, and being shy, she couldn't possibly say she was too eager to see the other person and had forgotten about it, could she?

"It's okay, I don't have anything else to do, so I'll just wait for you here!" Aso Narumi, her face slightly flushed, quickly hung up the phone.

Aso Narumi sat on her backpack in the open space nearby, quietly reading a magazine while waiting for Kurumi to arrive.

Hmm... starting today, I'll be living with Kurumi... Will Kurumi do those kinds of things to me again tonight? Her mind had completely drifted from the magazine, and Aso Narumi's imagination began to run wild.

Especially recalling the intense pleasure from that time, a madness that seemed to soar to the heavens, causing Aso Narumi to unconsciously press her legs together, clad in black stockings.

"Ah! I'm so shameless!"

Narumi, feeling a bit flustered, quickly stopped her train of thought. At this moment, she could feel her face turning bright red.

When Kurumi drove up to the pier, she immediately spotted Aso Narumi sitting by the side of the road, and...

"Sister Narumi, you call this 'not much stuff'?"

Seeing Narumi laden with so many bags, Kurumi's eye twitched. "Also, how did you manage to carry all of this by yourself?"

Kurumi felt like she might have underestimated Narumi's physical strength.

"Well~ don't worry about those little things."

Narumi quickly stood up, rubbing her hands together and stuffing a magazine into her backpack.

Seeing Narumi's shy demeanor, Kurumi smiled.

Ah! I can finally live together with a beautiful girl! Yay!

"Alright, I'll help you put your luggage in the car first." Looking at the backpack that was almost taller than herself, Kurumi thought for a moment and said, "The suitcases can go in the trunk, and as for this big guy... it'll have to go on the back seat."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Narumi, feeling like her wish had finally come true, readily agreed.

66 Kurumi's house is quite large

Narumi, feeling like she could finally live with Kurumi, chatted excitedly with her all the way.

It took quite some time to get from the pier back into the city. Kurumi parked the car in her own yard.

"Wow! Is this your house? It's really big!"

Looking at the exquisitely decorated two-story house in front of her, Narumi marveled at how truly wealthy Kurumi was.
