When she heard his tone, she could guess that he was up to something and sure enough, Conan was trying to warn her to stay away from Gin because he's dangerous and a bad person.
She naturally knew that he's very dangerous.
But Hikari Yuki couldn't possibly know that.
*sigh*
She's just adding more drama and workload to herself.
Not that she didn't enjoy herself, though.
"Really? I don't think much about it. He's such a handsome guy and I don't think he's a bad person," Hikari Yuki replied with an innocent look.
Haibara Ai silently took the ice cream and looked away.
Knowing Hikari Yuki's real identity and the fact that she herself was in the Black Organization, Haibara Ai really couldn't bring herself to act like she knew nothing.
She just wanted to laugh.
But at this moment, Haibara Ai realized something else.
If Hikari Yuki truly wanted to, her acting could be extremely superb and no one would know when she's telling lies or the truth.
'But I think that she hadn't lied to me before.'
Haibara Ai glanced at Hikari Yuki, who laughed at Conan's exasperated expression as he told her not to judge men based on looks.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
If Hikari Yuki was such a shallow person, she wouldn't have been able to rise to become the third in command in the Black Organization.
"You don't have to worry so much about me, Conan." Hikari Yuki chuckled. "Besides, I don't think that I can see that guy again in a short term."
As long as she didn't suddenly receive any mission to cooperate with Gin, she didn't need to see him again anytime soon. There were still some missions that she had to do as Sake in the Black Organization, but most of them could be done remotely.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stay in Japan peacefully like this.
Besides, Gin and Sake didn't necessarily get along well with each other all the time…
Conan still looked at Hikari Yuki suspiciously and then grumbled, "I really didn't expect that you would like a dangerous looking guy like that, Yuki Nee."
"What are you talking about?" Hikari Yuki rolled her eyes and handed the ice cream to Conan while her other hand was messing his hair. "I don't like him romantically and only have appreciation for his good looks. Speaking of good looks, that recently rising cat artist also looks good…"
"Ah, I know, it's that handsome and cute big brother, right?" Ayumi was instantly energetic.
Hikari Yuki nodded and then started to talk about no. 11, Hirata Seiji, without hesitation. His youthful appearance made him quite popular and added with his cat like catchphrase and antics, many people like him so much.
Conan, who wanted to get more information, was petrified.
How did the information turn into talks about idols?
Haibara Ai patted Conan's shoulder and then said, "No matter what age, being handsome and beautiful is very important."
"Huh?"
Conan was confused and then he watched as Haibara Ai energetically chatted with Hikari Yuki and Ayumi about the latest fashion.
He stared at the three women and then deeply felt that he really didn't understand women.
But it was a good thing that Hikari Yuki was not interested in Gin and only thought that he's handsome in an appreciative tone.
Uh wait, Conan couldn't think of Gin as handsome, though.
Definitely not.
…
Gin's side
Vodka was driving and the car was quiet. He glanced furtively towards Gin on the passenger seat cautiously.
"What are you looking at?"
"Brother, Sake…"
"Let that madman be." Gin's face darkened slightly, thinking that Sake is really crazy. If it was not because they were outside, he really wanted to drag Sake to the training ground.
Vodka was silent.
"Tell me what happened."
So Vodka could only explain about the things that happened in the convenience store, which naturally include Sake's sudden interruption and her cold threat.
Gin only snorted.
"Sake brought those kids around?"
"Yes, Brother. It was those kids you saw before," Vodka replied quickly.
Gin thought about those kids who hid behind Hikari Yuki and snorted. Only those people from the intelligence group would bother playing with ordinary people and entered their circle. From the way the children huddled around Hikari Yuki, it was obvious that she was trusted by them.
Is it more of her boring games?
Tsk, it was really annoying.
"Brother, is Sake…"
"Ignore her." Gin lit up a cigarette. "Sake is a manipulator. Don't get fooled by the innocent and playful appearance he showed… if he truly wants to target someone, they will never know how they died until the very end."
Manipulating everything behind the scene.
Sake was not that capable in the beginning, but as she gained more power and had many more subordinates, she didn't really need to do everything on her own. Her subordinates were extremely capable and those who dared to betray her were tortured beyond recognition.
Granting her the position of the third in command might be a form of appreciation and also appeasement towards that crazy woman.
If it was not because she was truly capable and irreplaceable, Gin really wanted to shoot her.
"Yes, Brother." Vodka sat up straight.
No one dared to offend Sake in the organization.
Even if they didn't quite understand the reason.
The children went back to the park after they finished their ice cream and continued their ball game while Haibara Ai sat on the side, watching calmly.
Conan looked at Haibara Ai and asked, "Why do you think Gin let her off so easily?"
Haibara Ai's expression turned a bit strange as she looked at Conan. "What do you think Gin is? A mass murderer? They're in public, Kudo."
Conan: "..."
Right.
If it was not because they were in public, perhaps Gin would have shot Hikari Yuki for teasing him like that.
Hikari Yuki heard their words, and she secretly laughed as she passed the ball to Genta when she heard the notification from the system.
[Ding! Special Arc Act 1. Introduction. Get to know the special animal transformation organization. During the first case, try to interfere or be noticed by them. Everyone may participate. Time: Within a day. Place: Tokyo]
Animal transformation?
While Hikari Yuki was confused by the words from the system, she could guess that something would happen soon.
Her expression remained normal as she continued to play the ball with the children.
But their brain chat was far from idle.
…
[High School Student [2]: Special arcs! Hell yeah!
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Game points, I'm coming~
University Student [6]: It's going to be in the form of a case? Do we have any death immunity or not?
Doctor [9]: I don't think so
[Ding! Death during the special arc will be counted as real death. No one has special mission during this period of time]
Artist [11]: … Great, we can die
Journalist [12]: Who would want to die in the first place?
Megumi Aiko [4]: By the way, what case is it? Is it related to the Black Organization or something?
Public Security Officer [5]: I don't think so, no. 7, no. 1?
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: I have no mission at all recently.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: I don't know.
High School Student [2]: Then just pay attention if there's any high profile case or something? Would this involve Conan, by the way?
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: You can try to get closer to Conan during this period of time.
University Student [6]: That will be a good idea. No. 4 or no. 2 can do it.
Megumi Aiko [4]: No, I better stay in the police station in case I can hear about the case from here.
High School Student [2]: Then I'll approach Conan.]
…
Hikari Yuki's eyes flickered when she heard that they were about to approach Conan.
Since she's currently with Conan, no. 2 will end up meeting with her, which was not something she wanted to happen.
So she pretended to take out her phone and made an excuse to leave.
The children were disappointed while Haibara Ai was somewhat wary. After all, she knew that Hikari Yuki might have to go for a mission again later.
