The Outlaw in Conan's World: Tokisaki Kurumi

Hearing his personality questioned, Conan quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I just have a small gift I wanted to give to Sister Tokisaki personally, but I don't know where she lives, so I haven't been able to deliver it."

"A gift?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Conan with suspicion.

90 Conan: "Sister Tokisaki, I'm here to bother you!" (Chapter 5)

In the end, Mouri Kogoro agreed to Conan's request.

After dinner, Conan, with his short legs, ran back to his bedroom and casually grabbed a brand-new, unopened book he had bought not long ago from his closet. He found Mouri Kogoro.

"Uncle, I'm ready!"

Seeing the book in Conan's hand, Mouri Kogoro scolded him irritably: "You little brat! You can't possibly give a detective novel as a thank-you gift to a girl, can you? Aren't you just messing around?"

Although Mouri Kogoro himself had no experience giving gifts to girls, he knew that a gift for a girl should never be a detective novel like Conan's.

"No way!" Seeing his hobby being looked down upon, Conan stared at Mouri Kogoro with dead fish eyes: "Detective novels are exciting, and I absolutely won't allow you to belittle them, Uncle!"

"Am I belittling them? I'm stating facts!" Mouri Kogoro, holding the file bag, clenched his fist.

Noticing this detail, Conan, whose head began to ache again, quickly put on a fawning smile: "Actually, Sister Tokisaki also likes detectives! Last time, she solved a murder case all by herself, she's really amazing!"

"Really?" Mouri Kogoro looked surprised upon hearing that Kurumi had solved a murder case by herself.

"Yes!" To make Mouri Kogoro wary of Kurumi, Conan recounted exactly what happened at the coffee shop that day.

After Conan's passionate narration, Mouri Kogoro sighed: "That's truly impressive, being able to take down a suspect that big. Could she be a karate practitioner like Ran?"

"Who knows~" Conan pretended to mention it 'casually': "I see those assassins on TV are just like Sister Tokisaki; even though they're small, they can deliver a fatal blow in one hit!"

"That's really amazing."

Mouri Kogoro's reaction was not what Conan had expected.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's hurry to the bank by car. Keeping a lady waiting is not the act of a gentleman!" Looking at the time, Mouri Kogoro straightened his clothes.

"Yes~ yes~" Conan replied perfunctorily.

More than ten minutes later, Mouri Kogoro and Conan, driving to the bank, saw Kurumi sitting in the lobby.

As they saw Kurumi, she also noticed the two figures, one big and one small.

Especially when she saw Conan, Kurumi sighed helplessly.

"Um, isn't Doctor Asai coming?" Mouri Kogoro asked curiously, seeing Kurumi sitting alone in a corner.

Quickly changing her demeanor, Kurumi smiled and said: "No, Sister Narumi went grocery shopping this afternoon, so I came alone."

Understanding the reason, Mouri Kogoro said, "Oh~"

"Well, I've already prepared the contract." Sitting down next to Kurumi, Mouri Kogoro handed her the brownish-yellow file bag: "If you find anything problematic, you can point it out directly."

"Also, I originally planned to come alone, but I didn't expect Conan, this little ... friend, to say he wanted to give you a thank-you gift, so I had no choice but to bring him along." Mouri Kogoro had intended to say "brat," but out of consideration for Kurumi, he quickly corrected himself.

"Here you go, Sister Tokisaki!" Conan approached Kurumi with a fawning expression, handing her the detective novel he bought with his allowance.

"..." Seeing the title of the book, Kurumi was stunned.

"This is something I specifically chose as my favorite to give to you, Sister, as a thank you for helping me dodge that man's attack last time!"

Seeing the bright smile on Conan's face, Kurumi's right hand trembled slightly as she took the detective novel from Conan. She suppressed the urge to beat him up and accepted it: "Thank you, little Conan!" She thanked Conan through gritted teeth and set the book aside.

Opening the file bag Mouri Kogoro had given her, Kurumi carefully reviewed the contract.

"Uncle Mouri, the rent is still three hundred thousand, but why is the security deposit so much lower?" After finishing the contract, Kurumi pointed to a line and asked.

In response, Mouri Kogoro quietly explained to Kurumi: "Tokisaki, you're also Ran's friend, and seeing how close you two are, I'm happy as a father!"

"So, I took the liberty of reducing a portion of the security deposit. This way, the pressure on you will be much less!"

Noticing the serious expression on Mouri Kogoro's face as he spoke, Kurumi's impression of him improved significantly.

"Not at all, actually, I sometimes need Ran's care too." Although she was benefiting from something she didn't necessarily need, Kurumi knew she couldn't really refuse Mouri Kogoro's kindness.

She would have to owe him this favor for now.

"Uncle Mouri, I have no issues with the contract. I'll go to the counter to withdraw the money later." With a few swift strokes, Kurumi signed the contract with her pen. After Mouri Kogoro finished signing, she handed him one copy and said.

However, at this moment, Conan suddenly interjected.

"Sister Tokisaki, I remember you live with Sister Narumi, right? Is this money Sister Narumi's? And aren't you a student? I recall that contracts usually require an adult's signature to be legally effective, don't they?"

Hearing this, Kurumi summoned King Crimson and had it prepare its foot to trip Conan when he left as retaliation.

Mouri Kogoro also realized what Conan said: "Right, I almost forgot about that!"

He then said to Kurumi with an embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry, Tokisaki, I forgot about that. Why don't you call Doctor Asai and ask her to come over..."

Kurumi was furious!

She was about to lose her temper!

"But it's a bit troublesome for Sister Narumi to come all the way here. How about I call her and ask her to go directly to your office, Uncle?"

"And since we're already here, it would be more troublesome to go back and forth for the money again."

Kurumi's words made Mouri Kogoro ponder.

Mouri Kogoro nodded in agreement, "That works too. It's quite a hardship to be out in the middle of winter."

"In that case, I'll head to the counter right away!" With that, Kurumi walked directly to the counter without even glancing at Conan.

Watching Kurumi's retreating back, Conan, feeling he had successfully annoyed her, was incredibly happy!

91 Trash Deserves a Trashy Death (Sixth Update)

At the counter, Hirota Masami, who was actually Miyano Akemi in disguise, was serving Kurumi.

"I've already applied for a day of leave for your sister. You should have a good talk with Shiho this Sunday."

While waiting to withdraw money, Kurumi quietly said to Miyano Akemi, "Coincidentally, some things might not be believable coming from me, but I think what your sister tells you will be more persuasive than I am."

Hearing Kurumi's whisper, Miyano Akemi asked with some hesitation, "But why are you helping us like this?"

Miyano Akemi couldn't understand why Kurumi, a key member of the Organization, would choose to help her, someone the Organization had targeted. And to help her and her sister Miyano Shiho so much, it was truly baffling.

"It's very simple, because in a way, we're all the same kind of people..." Seeing that several other staff members had brought over the packed money, Kurumi stopped talking.

After they left, she continued, "From now on, you should just do what you normally do. I'll figure out the rest."

With that, Kurumi called over Mouri Kogoro, making him, the big man, responsible for transporting such a large sum of cash.

"Wow! So much money!" Mouri Kogoro exclaimed softly, marveling at how truly wealthy Kurumi was. He immediately felt that the young lady's family background was likely even deeper than he had imagined.

Even Conan, seeing Kurumi withdraw such a large amount of money at once, couldn't help but inwardly ponder just how many 'good deeds' Kurumi had done.

As Kurumi and Mouri Kogoro were making the transaction, a man wearing a mask in the lobby stared intently at Kurumi's elegant figure. His dark pupils flickered with greed and madness.

When the transaction was complete, Mouri Kogoro confirmed that the funds matched what was stated on the contract. He then took out his passbook, chatted up the beautiful Miyano Akemi, and deposited the money back into his account.

"Then, Uncle Mouri, I'll be going back to give this contract to Sister Narumi, and she'll go to your place to complete the signing."

With everything handled, Kurumi no longer wanted to see Conan's detestable, provoking gaze.

"Oh, oh, do you need me to give you a ride back?" Mouri, having received another sum of money, was in an exceptionally good mood and offered to take Kurumi home.

Hearing Mouri Kogoro's words, Conan's eyes flashed.

Excellent, as long as you agree to Uncle's offer, I'll know where you live! Conan schemed in his mind.

Kurumi shook her head, refusing Mouri Kogoro's kind offer. "No need, I still need to buy some things. Uncle, you should take Conan back first!"

Kurumi knew what Conan was thinking without even looking.

Hmph! You want to figure out where I live? Dream on!

However, Mouri Kogoro had no idea what Kurumi was thinking.

Upon hearing that she didn't need him to escort her, Mouri Kogoro prepared to take Conan home.

Ah~ I made a fortune today. I should have some beer tonight to celebrate! Mouri Kogoro, feeling pleased, looked at Conan. "Let's go, don't linger around Tokisaki!"

Seeing his plan foiled, but not discouraged, Conan licked his lips and waved at Kurumi. "Goodbye, Sister Tokisaki!"

"Goodbye!" Go to hell! Kurumi said with a smile, letting King Crimson extend a leg thick enough to break a man's groin towards the departing Conan.

"Thwack!"

With Conan's cry of pain, Mouri Kogoro, hearing the commotion, turned back to see Conan sprawled on the cold tile floor.

"You're really clumsy!" Mouri Kogoro kindly helped Conan up and saw that Conan's entire face had turned red from his intimate encounter with the tiles.

Hmph! Serves you right for causing trouble!

Seeing Conan's miserable state, Kurumi's face broke into a smile, her heart beaming even brighter.

Alright, next I'll go buy a cup of milk tea. Thinking about what to do next, Kurumi also walked out of the bank.

At the same time, as Kurumi left, the masked man from before also stood up and walked out.

Outside.

Light snow began to fall from the sky.

The white snowflakes drifted down, further lowering the surrounding temperature.

Kurumi bought a cup of milk tea from a nearby shop and had King Crimson glance behind her.

Noticing a man watching the scenery, Kurumi couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile.

Perfect, I can take out all the frustration I felt earlier on you!

After buying the milk tea, Kurumi drank it while pretending to enter a nearby alley, seemingly looking for a shortcut.

About ten meters behind Kurumi, the man also looked around and followed her in.

As the surroundings grew quieter and the sound of cars on the street faded, Kurumi, walking in the alley, had her signature side-swept bangs flutter in the windless air.

Through King Crimson's other ability, Epitaph, Kurumi could foresee what would happen if she encountered danger.

Through her golden clock-like left eye, Kurumi saw herself walking along when a man suddenly appeared behind her.

The man, wielding a sharp knife, pounced on her from behind and pressed the knife against her throat.

And what happened next...

Was rather interesting.

'Such a rude man~'

Seeing a scene that would make any girl fearful, Kurumi remained completely unfazed.

Following her prediction from the Epitaph, she took a wrong turn as if she had gone the wrong way. Kurumi 'completely' 'failed' to 'detect' the man behind her.

Immediately after, as the man behind her rushed towards her, King Crimson personally saw that the man's right hand was still holding a dagger.

And his eyes were bloodshot with madness and excitement.

'You're seeking death!'

Thinking of everything in the Epitaph, Kurumi turned around without hesitation, wanting to personally witness this detestable man being punched through the chest by King Crimson!

"Pfft!"

With a strange sound, the man's body suddenly froze in the exact sprinting posture he had been in, less than a meter away from her.

A sharp pain emanated from his chest.

Blood slowly flowed from the fist-sized puncture wound.

The man had no idea what had happened; he only saw that the girl who should have been struggling beneath him was now looking at him with a smile. That smile was beautiful yet dangerous.

But it held an extreme allure.

'What happened?' The man, unable to see his Stand, only felt something pierce his abdomen, and that something was still inside his wound.

"Die."
