Outlaw in the World of Conan, Tokisaki Kurumi

The man saw the girl open her mouth, seeming to whisper something.

But with a fatal wound, he couldn't hear anything.

As King Crimson withdrew its right fist, the man's powerless body fell painfully onto the cold ground.

Blood gushed out like a spring, gradually dyeing the dirty road red.

His vision blurred more and more, and the man lying on the ground couldn't even wail before gradually losing his life like a stray dog.

Watching the man's eyes lose their light, Kurumi retracted King Crimson.

"Trash should die like trash."

92 The Sisters' Leisure Time

Having solved a destabilizing factor for society, Kurumi returned home drinking milk tea in an exceptionally good mood.

Entering the living room, Kurumi turned on the air conditioner, lay on the sofa, and turned on the TV with the remote, once again slumping into a soft, boneless state on the couch.

Meanwhile, Narumi, who had received Kurumi's call, took a taxi to the Mouri residence to start signing the lease transfer contract for the downstairs shop.

Thus, after another period of peaceful daily life, on a weekend, Kurumi received an outing request from Miyano Shiho at the Organization's research facility.

At a coffee shop, Miyano Shiho, who had rarely dressed down in casual wear, met her sister Miyano Akemi in private for the first time in a long while.

In the quiet coffee shop, two cups of fragrant coffee and two plates of cake sat on the table between the two women sitting opposite each other.

"Shiho, can we really trust this Bloody Mary person?"

With the deadline for her agreement with the Organization fast approaching, Miyano Akemi, after a brief reunion with her sister, shifted the conversation to serious matters.

After a moment of silence, Miyano Shiho finally spoke, "I'm not sure..."

Recalling every moment she had spent with Kurumi, no matter how Miyano Shiho tried to guess or analyze, she couldn't find the slightest flaw in Kurumi's words or actions.

It was as if she genuinely wanted to help the two sisters.

"But at this point, do we have any other choice?" Miyano Shiho, who knew the Organization's methods all too well, let out a bitter smile. "The Organization wants to kill you, and even if you wanted to escape, they could find you with ease."

What Miyano Shiho didn't say was that if Akai Shuichi, who had approached her sister back then, had taken her sister with him when he was discovered, her sister wouldn't be in such a precarious situation now.

Thinking of this, a surge of anger rose in Miyano Shiho's heart.

Miyano Akemi, unaware of her sister's thoughts, showed no change in her expression, but her eyes, full of worry, revealed that her mind was not as calm as it seemed.

Even though she had already prepared to sacrifice herself for her sister's future.

"Perhaps, we can only trust her," Miyano Akemi sighed and took a sip of her coffee.

At this moment, Miyano Shiho suddenly thought of something very important.

"By the way, sister, has Tokisaki approached you recently to discuss anything? Like a plan?"

"A plan?" Miyano Akemi was taken aback. "Not yet. Although she asked me to meet her at another coffee shop last time, a murder suddenly occurred there." Miyano Akemi said, "Bloody Mary... no, Tokisaki, because she was involved in that case, she told me to leave first, saying she would find me later."

Hearing her sister's words, Miyano Shiho frowned.

In a private meeting with Kurumi some time ago, Miyano Shiho had learned that Kurumi had a plan to fake her sister's death, but Kurumi hadn't revealed any specific steps or details to her.

This made Miyano Shiho somewhat worried.

Relaying the content of her conversation with Kurumi to Miyano Akemi, Miyano Shiho speculated, "Perhaps she's worried that there are other Organization members monitoring you, sister, which is why she didn't tell you about it."

The Organization's distrust of her sister wasn't new. If Kurumi still hadn't told her sister about this matter, it was likely because she had detected others monitoring, or even eavesdropping on, Akemi.

Sensing that the conversation and atmosphere between them were becoming increasingly heavy, Miyano Akemi shook her head, temporarily pushing aside the worries and fears in her mind.

After all, today was a rare meeting between her and her sister Miyano Shiho. If they continued this topic, Miyano Akemi worried she might snap the fragile thread of her sanity.

Forcing a smile, Miyano Akemi curiously asked Miyano Shiho, "Shiho, have you taken a liking to any boys during your studies in America or since you've been back?"

"Sister? Why are you suddenly asking this?" Miyano Shiho was clearly surprised when Miyano Akemi suddenly started caring about her romantic life.

However, being clever, she immediately realized that this was likely Akemi deliberately asking her to avoid continuing the heavy topic.

"No, I'm not concerned about that right now," Miyano Shiho spoke her true feelings. "I will never have any thoughts about those people in the Organization for the rest of my life!"

"That's true, they are too dangerous..."

After saying this, silence fell between them once again.

Just as Miyano Akemi was about to find a lighter topic, her phone suddenly rang.

"Who is it? Could it be Tokisaki?"

Hearing the phone ring, Miyano Shiho's spirits immediately lifted, and she looked at her sister with eager anticipation.

Glancing at the caller ID, Miyano Akemi nodded and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Miyano Akemi, are you with your sister?"

Through the phone, Kurumi's lazy voice could be heard.

On the other side, Kurumi, lying on the sofa and swinging her beautiful legs, watched the news on TV about Mouri Kogoro solving another case, looking bored.

"Yes, Shiho is with me right now."

"Oh, that's perfect," Kurumi said, feeling like she'd saved herself a trip to the research institute. "I'm almost ready. Send me your home address. I'll come over tomorrow to discuss the specific implementation steps and preparations for the plan in person."

Although Kurumi hadn't had any missions for the past few days, she had been working tirelessly to ensure Miyano Akemi's survival, running around to arrange Akemi's fake death plan.

For example, she had stolen a lot of explosives and firearms from some military arsenal, which were now piled up in the basement of the renovated art museum.

Whether Kurumi's actions would affect the action plan of a certain obsessive-compulsive patient later on was not Kurumi's concern.

Yes, you, Moriyama Teiji!

"Yes, I understand."

After Miyano Akemi finished speaking, Kurumi unilaterally ended the call.

"Sister, what did Tokisaki say?" Miyano Shiho asked, a little excited.

"She said she's coming to my place to discuss it. It's probably not safe to talk on the phone," Akemi replied.

Although this phone had never been given to anyone in the Organization since she bought it, Miyano Akemi wasn't sure if those cunning people might have other ways to eavesdrop on her calls.

"That's true..." Miyano Akemi's words made Miyano Shiho think about how her own room was also under the Organization's surveillance.

93 Miyano Akemi Under Surveillance (Second Update)

Since Miyano Shiho only had today off, she wouldn't be able to attend the secret meeting between Kurumi and her sister, Miyano Akemi, tomorrow.

Miyano Shiho looked very disappointed.

"Don't worry, Shiho. Since Tokisaki said she already has a plan, we can only trust her now, can't we?"

Her sister's comfort cheered Miyano Shiho up a little.

"Besides, didn't you say Tokisaki needs you to pretend you don't know anything? If you knew the specific steps of the plan, and something went wrong, it wouldn't be me in danger, but all three of us."

Miyano Akemi didn't know much about the Organization, but she was well aware that the Organization had absolutely zero tolerance for traitors.

If they found out that one of their most capable members was trying to help her, given the Organization's nature, they would definitely eliminate Kurumi as a traitor.

The kind Miyano Akemi believed that since Kurumi was willing to take such a huge risk to help her, she had to assist the other party in any way she could.

Hearing Miyano Akemi's words, Miyano Shiho could only nod silently.

To make the most of this rare opportunity, the two, after finishing their coffee, decided to make good use of the rest of the afternoon and evening.

As night fell, the two, who had spent the entire afternoon at the amusement park, went shopping for a bit in the evening.

Finally, the moment of separation arrived mercilessly amidst the sisters' laughter throughout the afternoon.

"Sister, you must take care!"

Seeing that the Organization's car had arrived to pick her up, Miyano Shiho solemnly reminded Miyano Akemi.

"I will, and you too, Shiho." Smiling, Miyano Akemi waved goodbye and watched quietly as Miyano Shiho turned and got into the black car, slowly disappearing from her sight.

"You take care too... Shiho..."

The next morning, knowing that Kurumi would be coming to her house to discuss matters today, Miyano Akemi got out of bed early. After washing up and eating breakfast, she started cleaning the house.

Around nine o'clock, Miyano Akemi, having just finished her mission, heard the doorbell ring before she could even sit down to rest.

"Coming, coming!"

She hurriedly opened the door and, as expected, Kurumi was standing outside, looking at her with a grin.

"Breathing rapidly, skin slightly sweaty... and the tiles at the entrance are still damp." Kurumi, staring at Miyano Akemi in her loungewear with her right eye, asked with interest, "Miss Akemi, did you clean up specifically because you knew I was coming?"

Miyano Akemi, surprised by Kurumi's analysis, stammered, "Uh... you can tell that?"

"Of course!"

With that, Kurumi walked in on her own.

Taking off her sneakers at the entrance, Kurumi scanned the apartment Miyano Akemi was renting.

The apartment's decor was simple and unremarkable.

But was it really that simple?

As if thinking of something, Kurumi's smile faded.

"Um, the slippers are here." Seeing Kurumi just staring at her living room, Miyano Akemi didn't know what to say.

However, she still handed Kurumi the prepared slippers.

"Thanks..."

The moment she took the slippers, Kurumi's intuition told her that the entire room had been tampered with.

However, considering Miyano Akemi's awkward situation, Kurumi did not choose to use her signal jammer to systematically scan for the listening devices placed in various corners of the room.

"Tokisaki, regarding the plan..."

Just as Miyano Akemi was about to ask Kurumi, Kurumi shook her head with a serious expression and then pointed a finger to her ear, indicating that someone was listening.

Noticing Kurumi's gesture, Miyano Akemi's eyes widened instantly.

She knew the Organization was definitely monitoring her, but she had already deliberately marked all the listening devices she could find.

Miyano Akemi hadn't considered removing them, but fearing the Organization would make a fuss about it, she had endured being monitored twenty-four hours a day.

What surprised Miyano Akemi even more was that Kurumi, who had never visited her home before, noticed something was wrong as soon as she entered.

"It's nothing, it's been there for a long time," Miyano Akemi said deliberately to explain to Kurumi.

"I see," Kurumi nodded upon hearing this.

"In that case, I won't ask any more questions."

"I came to see you today mainly to find out how your mission preparations are going," Kurumi playfully winked at Miyano Akemi, asking in a deliberately emotionless tone.

As she spoke, Kurumi very consciously sat down on the sofa, then turned to look at Miyano Akemi, signaling her to put on a good performance.

"Everything is going smoothly, you don't need to worry about that," Miyano Akemi understood the look in Kurumi's eyes, smiled, and then replied with feigned impatience, "Rather, I want to ask you, if I complete the mission, can you really let me and Shiho go?"

"Hmph!" Kurumi let out a cold snort in response to the question.

In a mocking tone, Kurumi calmly replied, "Of course, our Organization always keeps its word. As long as you can obtain one billion yen for the Organization, you and your sister can naturally leave the Organization."

"But, the premise is that you must succeed," Kurumi said, beckoning Miyano Akemi to sit down.

Sitting on the sofa to Kurumi's right, Miyano Akemi retorted, "Of course I can succeed!"

"Should I wish you good luck?" To convey her true intentions to Miyano Akemi, Kurumi thought for a moment, then made gestures for paper and writing, and then pointed to the television.

While turning on the TV and increasing the volume, Miyano Akemi also retrieved a notebook and pen from the bedroom and handed them to Kurumi.

"Alright, now tell me your plan in detail. I need to make sure there are no mistakes," Kurumi said, and began to meticulously write down her plan in the notebook.

To be honest, this clandestine behavior made Kurumi very unhappy.

She even regretted why she insisted on coming to Miyano Akemi's house instead of meeting outside.
