Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

A stronghold of the organization.

Gin sat in the shadows, the cigarette between his fingers burned to the end, but he seemed oblivious.

His face was terribly gloomy.

"There seem to be quite a few people willing to dedicate themselves to the organization..."

Gin murmured softly, his voice carrying a chill.

Just yesterday, he was still worried about not being able to find people to carry out the mission.

He searched through all the elites in the organization who usually swore oaths. Those guys initially agreed readily, patting their chests and saying they were willing to die for the organization and go through fire and water for it.

But the result?

I had just made my promise to him when the accident happened as soon as I turned around.

Someone had just stepped outside when a falling billboard broke their leg.

Someone slipped on a banana peel while walking and broke their arm.

Some people even slipped and fell while taking a shower, fracturing their coccyx.

The most outrageous thing is that these people all said in unison that this was revenge by "Lord Jundu".

"Lord Count is too amazing..."

Gin sneered inwardly.

They hadn't even begun their mission when they were already facing divine retribution.

This isn't because Jundu is powerful; it's clearly because these bastards are afraid of Zheng Yi and dare not carry out the mission!

A bunch of cowardly insects!
They have absolutely no determination to die for the organization!

Gin grew increasingly angry, and he sent Vodka to "visit" Cohen and Chianti.

That afternoon, the two of them "accidentally" fell off the bed, aggravating their injuries, and it is unknown when they will be fully recovered.

"A bunch of useless trash!!"

Gin stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray with a hissing sound.

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in," Gin said coldly.

The door was pushed open, and Kiel cautiously walked in.

She was wearing an elegant dress and had a smile on her face, but there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

Seeing Gin's face, which looked as if Sherry had just run away, her movements became even more subtle.

"Gin, you wanted to see me?" Gil asked softly.

"Sit down." Gin gestured to the chair opposite him.

Kiel sat down obediently, his hands folded on his knees, quietly watching Gin, but his heart was pounding wildly.

Shoichi abdicates, and Gin returns.

Gin will definitely investigate the warehouse incident and the mess left by Shoichi; both are things that could drive a man crazy.

As a lowly undercover agent, she had no desire to get involved in such matters.

"I'm giving you a task," Gin suddenly said, his voice as cold as ice.

"What?" Kiel's heart sank.

“I want you to infiltrate Zheng Yi’s inner circle,” Gin said.

"what?"

Kiel's expression froze instantly; it was worse than he had imagined.

She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

Although the truth hasn't been fully revealed yet, she has guessed that Zheng Yi is Jun Du.

Should she infiltrate Zheng Yi's inner circle?

Gin, what are you trying to do?

“Gin, if I’m not mistaken, Zheng Yi is Jundu, right?” Gil asked tentatively.

“That’s right.” Gin nodded.

"If he's part of the organization, why would I infiltrate his ranks?" Kiel asked, puzzled. "Shouldn't he also be working for the boss?"

“He’s not entirely one of the organization,” Gin said. “His ambitions are too great, they’ve exceeded the organization’s control. I need you to monitor him, and…”

Gin paused for a moment: "Transfer all the money from his group to the organization."

Upon hearing Gin's words, Gil's hands began to tremble.

To steal Zheng Yi's money?

Isn't this sending me to my death?
"I'm just a broadcaster, I can't do something so big," Kiel quickly declined.

"Even if I join the Justice Group, I won't be able to become a manager. Besides, Zheng Yi knows my identity, so he will definitely be wary of me."

"I only care about the results," Gin said coldly. "Don't betray my trust."

Kiel desperately wanted Gin to stop trusting him so much.

But seeing Gin's unyielding face, Gil had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

She was afraid that if she didn't agree, she wouldn't be able to leave the room.

"Don't even think about telling Shoichi. What I hate most is traitors," Gin warned.

Kiel nodded.

Of course she knew what Gin's taboos were and wouldn't break them.

Therefore, as long as you break your leg, you can avoid doing the mission.

"And don't even think about breaking your arms or legs." Gin seemed to see through her thoughts and said coldly, "As long as you can still move your fingers, you have to carry out the mission."

"Yes." Kiel nodded helplessly.

Gin was quite cautious, but Kiel had other options.

At worst, I can commit a minor crime and go to jail, then I won't have to do any more missions.

As a codenamed member, she committed a crime unrelated to the organization, which shouldn't warrant Gin's execution.

“Don’t even think about hiding in prison,” Gin added. “Unless you’re planning to hide there for the rest of your life.”

Kiel nodded, speechless for a moment.

This is a little troublesome; Gin has been overly thoughtful.

But there are other ways.

She can lose her memory.

I've decided. After leaving here, I'm going to cause a car accident.

"Heh." Gin sneered, "Don't even think about amnesia, I have plenty of ways to cure it."

“I don’t have that many wicked thoughts,” Kiel chuckled dryly.

She looked at Gin with a complicated expression.

How could he be so thoughtful?

Is this a task she absolutely has to carry out?

Kiel was deeply worried.

Gin spoke a few more words to Gil before letting her leave.

After she left, Gin stared blankly at the doorway.

The organization is suffering from a talent shortage.

Right now, the only person willing to infiltrate Zheng Yi's inner circle is Gil.

The rest of the people were all cowards who feared death. Even Cohen and Chianti had lost their previous courage.

Moreover, Gil's identity is not very suitable for carrying out this mission.

It might be many years before she reaches the management level of the Justice Group and is qualified to move funds.

Gin was so worried about the organization that his hair turned white.

Kiel, who had just left, was also very worried.

If she told Masakazu this directly, Gin could kill her.

If we do as Gin orders, then Shoichi can kill her.

If she outwardly accepts orders but actually slacks off and does nothing, given Gin and Shoichi's pettiness, they would both want to kill her.

"Ah~"

Kiel sighed as he walked down the dimly lit corridor.

"Ok?"

Not long after she sighed, a person with a cane walked towards her.

"Has the organization been up to anything lately?" she wondered to herself.

This wasn't the first person she'd seen using crutches; many members of the organization were injured, and she didn't know why.

If the organization is planning a major operation, there's no way she wouldn't have heard about it.

Moreover, there are few capable people in the organization right now, so if there's an operation, she'll definitely be summoned by Gin.

"Ah!" "Ah! I remember now, I remember everything!"

Passing by a room, Kiel heard screams coming from inside and randomly stopped someone to ask, "What's going on in there?"

"Oh, he has amnesia. Boss Gin is using special methods to help him regain his memory," the man replied.

Kiel frowned.

Special methods?

How did she hear the sound of a whip cracking?
Kiel continued, "Has anyone in the organization gone to jail?"

“Yes.” The man said, puzzled, “I don’t know what happened. Many people are injured, many have lost their memory, and many have gone to prison. There’s a lot of panic in the organization.”

Kiel nodded expressionlessly.

No wonder Gin was so thoughtful; he has a "think tank" behind him.

It seems my little tricks are no match for Gin.

"It's over..."

Kiel sighed inwardly.

"This is truly a dead end."

She looked up, her eyes filled with despair.

……

"Could you please get out of my car?"

Shoichi was unaware that Gin had already begun to take action against him, and was still leisurely enjoying life with Ai and Momiji.

In the end, Momiji kept her promise to Ai and bought her a little girl motorcycle.

Just as Ai was about to test the motorcycle's performance, Seiichi shamelessly got on and brazenly asked her to take him for a ride.

Ai yelled at Masakazu, "Didn't you see that the motorcycle collapsed under your weight after you got on it?"

"Oh, it's okay, it can still support my weight." Zheng Yi put his arm around Xiao Ai's waist and urged her to drive faster.

He hasn't been taken for a drive by Ai yet.

Hongye stood to the side, arms crossed.

She bought the car, so why are Masakazu and Ai playing with it?

Moreover, Shoichi's hand was already around Ai's waist, showing absolutely no sense of boundaries.

Hongye glanced at Zhengyi and, seeing nothing unusual on his face, remained silent, lest her words create an ambiguous atmosphere.

But when she saw Ai, alarm bells went off in her head.

Ai's face turned bright red; she looked very shy.

Her mind isn't as simple as Zheng Yi's!

Zheng Yi, still oblivious, asked, "Why is your body so hot?"

"I...I'm not feeling well," Ai said.

Zheng Yi blinked.

"Are you about to transform?" Zheng Yi asked.

Xiao Ai was taken aback.
She subconsciously felt the blood in her body, and the burning sensation, as if her cells were burning, was spreading along her blood vessels to her limbs and bones.

It seems that's true.

Ai then nodded and said, "Maybe?"

She hadn't transformed in a long time and had almost forgotten about it.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ai gritted her teeth, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. "Take me back to the house... Ugh!"

A violent wave of dizziness washed over her, and everything went black before Ai's eyes. She collapsed limply into Masakazu's arms.

Zheng Yi quickly helped her up, feeling the small body in his arms undergoing rapid changes.

The bones are stretching, the muscles are expanding, and the originally loose children's clothes instantly become tight.

Zheng Yi and Hong Ye quickly carried Xiao Ai back to the bedroom.

With a loud bang, the door slammed shut, leaving Zheng Yi outside.

"Can you manage on your own?" Zheng Yi asked from outside the door.

"This isn't my first time; I'm experienced."

Hongye said, "She needs to change her clothes now. As an adult male, is it appropriate for you to stay here?"

"Alright." Zheng Yi nodded and said, "Call me if anything happens, and I can break in."

Hongye stood by the bed, looking at Xiao Ai.

"Why does it have to change back?"

Hongye muttered something softly and quickly reached out to help her take off her clothes.

Soon, the changes on the bed ended, Shiho's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Momiji crossed his arms and looked down at her: "Welcome to the adult world, Shiho Miyano."

Shiho paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Looks like I've turned back into my old self."

She propped herself up and sat up, feeling sore all over.

After Shiho regained her strength, Koyo came out of her room, and then Shiho went to take a bath by herself.

After she finished showering and came out, she saw an unhappy face sitting on the living room sofa.

"Where's Shoichi?" Shiho Miyano asked Momiji.

Hongye pointed outside.

The two went outside and saw Zheng Yi riding that 'Loli' motorcycle, speeding down the road.

Zheng Yi was curled up in this small vehicle, like a gorilla forcibly stuffed into a toy box.

"Boom—Boom—"

The sound of the engine was so pitiful.

A plume of black smoke billowed from the exhaust pipe, as if it were about to explode on the spot at any moment.

Zheng Yi's legs were bent exaggeratedly, his knees raised high, almost touching his chest.

"Squeak—squeak—"

Shiho Miyano could even hear the groans of metal straining under the weight.

That motorcycle was so pitiful.

"Get off my motorcycle right now!"

"Huh? You're alright so quickly?"

Shoichi parked his motorcycle at the entrance, got off, glanced at Shiho Miyano, and looked slightly disappointed.

Shiho Miyano glanced at Masakazu, then at Momiji, and noticed that neither of them seemed very happy.

And their unhappiness seems to stem from the fact that they've reverted to being like Shiho Miyano.

Shiho Miyano's face instantly darkened even further.

She asked the two of them, "Don't you like me that much?"

"No no."

No, no.

Zheng Yi and Hongye waved their hands in unison, indicating that they absolutely did not mean that.

“It’s definitely a good thing that you can turn back,” Zheng Yi said. “We are all very happy for you.”

Hongye nodded in agreement: "Zhengyi is right."

Both of them wore happy smiles.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see the forced smiles on their faces.

Hongye said softly, "It's just a pity that you can't wear all the clothes I bought for you."

Shiho stared at her expressionlessly.

Are you really regretting this?

"It's a shame you can't ride the motorcycle we just bought," Zhengyi said.

Shiho looked at Shoichi and nodded.

This is indeed a real pity.

I can only experience it after some time has passed and I've turned back into Ai.

Zheng Yi looked at Shiho Miyano and said, "If you're riding that motorcycle now, wouldn't that be considered a big horse driving a small car?"

"Snapped!"

"Ow~"

Shiho Miyano skillfully slapped Masakazu across the face.

That bastard, not a single word he says is pleasing to the ear. (End of Chapter)
