"Thump!"
Shiho Miyano closed the door, leaning her back against it and panting heavily.
A Porsche 356A… Only Gin drives that kind of antique car, right?
Shiho Miyano's heart pounded as she looked at the car parked outside the door. Did they really find me this quickly?
If Gin found her, then the man who took her home might have already been… taken care of by The Organization.
Shiho Miyano, you really are a jinx. Everyone connected to you meets with misfortune.
She rushed to the kitchen and grabbed a cleaver from the table.
Even if I die, I won't die so easily at The Organization's hands.
But I'm sorry, stranger, for getting you involved. If there's a next life, I'll make it up to you.
Guchuan parked the car in front of the door, his Beretta tucked into his waistband, feeling quite pleased.
[Beretta Handgun (Gin's sidearm)] successfully collected. Collection Points +10.
It was a shame he still hadn't managed to collect that Porsche 356A. Guchuan couldn't help but complain inwardly about Gin. He's so stingy, not even willing to give me a car.
Now, it was time to check out his "new collection."
"Ahhh~!"
As soon as Guchuan opened the door, he was met with a cleaver from a little Loli. He narrowly managed to pull back the force of his kick, only causing the Loli to plop down on her bottom, her cleaver sent flying far away.
"Little one, isn't your sense of self-preservation a bit too strong? Besides, this is my home. Is this how you welcome the original owner?" Guchuan picked up Shiho Miyano.
"Why is it you?" Shiho Miyano was also surprised.
She had clearly seen Gin's car. How was it that the person who came into the house was the one who had taken her home last night?
"Haha, did you forget that I brought you home last night? Let me refresh your memory; you were practically begging to come home with me." Guchuan placed Shiho Miyano on the sofa, picked up the cleaver, and returned it to the kitchen.
Shiho Miyano blushed. Damn it, I almost attacked my savior.
"I'm sorry." Shiho Miyano bowed a perfect ninety degrees to express her apology.
"It's fine, I don't mind."
Guchuan washed some dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen, then placed the purchased breakfast into bowls and brought them out.
"Have some breakfast first."
"Okay."
Shiho Miyano, filled with apology, sat obediently in the chair, sipping her porridge in small mouthfuls.
"Is that car outside yours?" Shiho Miyano asked.
"That's right. It's a very old antique car. There might not be a second one like it in all of Tokyo," Guchuan said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Shiho Miyano murmured.
I know there's a second one. That car belongs to a very terrifying person.
After breakfast, Shiho Miyano helped Guchuan clear the dishes.
"Um, thank you for taking me home last night and for washing… washing my hair." Shiho Miyano said, blushing.
"Actually, I found a female doctor," Guchuan said.
"Is that so? Well, thank you very much anyway." Shiho Miyano's face turned even redder.
"Since I've woken up, I won't bother you anymore. I need to go home," Shiho Miyano said.
"Home? Don't you not have parents?" Guchuan feigned confusion.
"Oh, right. Actually, I came to stay with Shinichi Kudo. I'm his relative," Shiho Miyano said, scratching the back of her head.
"Shinichi Kudo? Yusaku Kudo's son?"
"Yes."
"Wait, are you very familiar with Shinichi Kudo?" Shiho Miyano's eyes suddenly widened.
"Huh? I don't know him," Guchuan said, a bit bewildered.
He had just returned from America and hadn't met Shinichi Kudo yet. Why was Shiho Miyano asking if he was familiar with Kudo?
"But why do you have his photo in your house?"
"???"
Guchuan watched Shiho Miyano jog over to the table by the TV in the living room and pick up a photo frame from beside the television. Inside the frame was a picture of Shinichi Kudo.
???
"Why do I have another man's photo in my house?" Guchuan was stumped.
This was his first time in this new home. Could it be that the previous owner of this house was a fan of Shinichi Kudo and collected his photos?
Guchuan then opened the cabinet below and found many photos inside.
There were photos of Kudo's father, Shinichi Kudo, and even more of Yukiko Kudo.
I can understand having photos of Yukiko Kudo, but why are there so many pictures of Shinichi Kudo and his dad?
"Why do you collect so many photos of the Kudo family?" Shiho Miyano asked curiously.
"I don't know," Guchuan shook his head.
"I just got back to the country, and this is my first time in this house."
"Is that so?" Shiho Miyano nodded, then suddenly froze.
No wonder this house feels strangely familiar. It's because I've been here before, and I even searched it thoroughly.
Because this is Shinichi Kudo's house!
"Ahahaha, I'm really sorry. I accidentally went to the wrong house." Guchuan was a bit embarrassed.
I actually spent a night at Shinichi Kudo's house without even realizing it. It's all because of that master key. If it hadn't opened Shinichi Kudo's front door, how could I have gone to the wrong house?
"It's really strange, you know? That female doctor last night also mistook the house," Guchuan scratched his head.
"It certainly is strange." Shiho Miyano's face instantly turned red.
Whether that female doctor even existed is still debatable.
Guchuan led Shiho Miyano to 2 Chome, 20 Beika Town, Tokyo, and checked the house number multiple times before entering.
Shiho Miyano was speechless. He's so muddle-headed he can't even tell his own home from another.
"Even though I entered the wrong house, it proved that no one is home at the Kudo residence. So, you can stay at my place for now."
Guchuan closed the door, then locked it from the inside.
"Actually, I could go to Professor Agasa's house." Shiho Miyano suddenly felt a little scared.
I've heard there are a lot of perverted Loli-cons in Japan. Could this person in front of me be one of them?
Even if he's not a pervert, casually being able to open someone else's front door doesn't seem like something a good person would do.
Although, I'm not exactly a good person myself.
But right now, I'm just a child, and living with someone who doesn't seem like a good person is a bit too dangerous.
"I investigated the neighbors' information before moving in. Professor Agasa is too old to take care of children," Guchuan ruffled Shiho Miyano's fluffy hair.
"So, just relax and stay here with me. I'll send you back once the Kudo family returns. Don't worry, I'm a good person." Guchuan showed a smile that looked genuinely kind, his face practically etched with "I am a good person."
Shiho Miyano took a step back.
He really doesn't look like a good person.
"If it's possible, you could take me to the police station or even an orphanage. I don't want to cause you any trouble."
Taking me in will cause a lot of trouble.
Even if you don't seem like a good person.
Speaking of which, I, who created that drug and helped The Organization murder so many people, am also a thorough 'bad person'.
