Crossover anime, and you call this a slice-of-life story?

'So, she's also a member of Karasuma Renya's organization? That old man really has done a lot of harm...'

Shangguan Yun picked him up and headed towards home.

Tang Keke didn't stay here today; she went back to her apartment and sent herself a picture of herself playing with Shoko and the others.

Back home, I randomly found a clean bedroom, placed it on the bed, and used energy to dry its body.

Shangguan Yun covered her with a blanket and went out.

'Have Chris come and take her away after she wakes up.'

Thinking this, Shangguan Yun dialed Vermouth's number.

"Hey, Shangguan Jun, what are the plans?"

It wasn't too late yet, and Vermouth wasn't resting. News of Sherry's escape had reached her, and she was preparing to go find her.

Although the BOSS has said that he will no longer conduct human experiments, it will take some time to make this decision. After all, it is a transnational criminal organization, and it cannot be stopped just like that.

Sherry, as a researcher, is a rare talent, and the organization will not easily give up on her.

Moreover, she had many grudges against her family, and consequently, she didn't like Shirley very much either.

When she received Shangguan Yun's call at this time, she naturally put his matter first. As for finding Sherry, she would leave it to Gin, the organization's model worker.

"Chris, do you have time? If you do, come over here."

"Huh? Could it be that Shangguan is finally having relationship troubles and wants to ask me for advice?"

Vermouth chuckled. She was a bold person by nature, and she dared to make some harmless jokes with Shangguan Yun.

"Ahem... no, I found someone, the one in the photo I gave you before."

Shangguan Yun almost choked; this woman really was...

"what?!"

Vermouth was taken aback. She had just given up the search, and this person had already ended up in her hands? And it was Shangguan Yun who had picked him up...

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Without hesitation, Vermouth put on her clothes and went outside.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

Shangguan Yun hung up the phone and suddenly heard movement in the room, which meant that the other party had woken up.

At this moment, Shiho Miyano rubbed her eyes with her little hands, looking a little dazed, as if she had just woken up and was still a bit dizzy.

They had no idea that they had just been unintentionally betrayed by someone.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Vermouth: Long Time No See, Sherry

Slowly, Shiho Miyano snapped out of her daze, her mind instantly sharpening as she recalled what she had witnessed.

The two monsters were fighting each other, and one of them ate its companion alive.

Just as he was about to kill himself, a person appeared and easily dealt with the monster.

'Am I having a mental breakdown and hallucinating?'

Looking around, I found myself in a very nicely decorated room.

But it seems no one has ever lived here before; the room looks rather empty.

'Was I rescued? Was it that guy from before...?'

Shiho Miyano thought of the figure that had appeared in front of her before she lost consciousness.

After thinking it over in my mind for a while, I carefully lifted the blanket and went downstairs.

She didn't know why her clothes were dry, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she found no signs that they had been taken off.

'That makes sense, though I'm dressed rather strangely, I'm in the body of an elementary school student now. Aside from perverts, no one would lay a hand on an elementary school student, right...?'

She gently opened the door and walked into the living room, where she saw the boy who had saved her earlier sitting there drinking tea. He didn't seem surprised to see her come out.

"Doesn't your foot hurt?"

Shangguan Yun put down his teacup and looked at Miyano Shiho who was walking over, asking her a question.

"..."

Shiho Miyano's expression froze. She had been preoccupied with her own thoughts and had forgotten that her feet were already blistered.

Now, after being suddenly reminded, a piercing pain struck her, causing her to gasp sharply.

I quickly moved to the sofa and plopped down, only feeling a little relief after my feet left the ground.

She glanced at Shangguan Yun with a hint of resentment, who seemed completely unaware of what she had done.

But after all, the other person had saved her, and through this incident, she realized that the other person was definitely not an ordinary person.

Despite the pain, she thanked him, her voice tinged with a little girl's gratitude, "Big brother, thank you for saving me."

Shangguan Yun didn't expose her for deliberately pretending to be a little girl. Instead, she took out a basin of water and a jar of ointment from under the sofa and handed them over.

"Here, apply this ointment and it will get better soon."

"Th-thank you..."

Shiho Miyano was taken aback and took the ointment from the other person's hand.

I had a strange feeling. Generally speaking, shouldn't you show a gentle side to a little girl and come over to comfort her? What does it mean to ask me to apply medicine directly?

Although I wasn't quite good at playing the little girl, I still had a strange feeling that I couldn't quite put my finger on.

First, I washed my feet with water. The other party didn't give me any alcohol, and even if they had, I probably wouldn't have dared to use it.

I dabbed some ointment on my finger and gently applied it to the soles of my feet. It didn't hurt much; it felt cool and quite comfortable.

After applying the cream evenly, seeing that Shangguan Yun remained silent, Miyano Shiho couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you curious?"

Shangguan Yun gave her a strange look. "What are you curious about?"

"Aren't you curious why a little kid like me would be there? You didn't even ask my name or where my family is..."

"So what's your name?"

Shiho Miyano was speechless for a moment; she even felt that the other person was doing it on purpose.

Fortunately, she had prepared her words before coming out: "My name is Ai Haibara. My parents are gone, and I was kidnapped by bad guys. Today, I secretly ran away when the bad guys weren't paying attention, but I encountered a monster. Luckily, the big brother saved me."

"Hmm, that's a good story. Here's a glass of water for you." Shangguan Yun handed him a glass of warm water.

Shiho Miyano took the water glass blankly, her mind a little blank for a moment. Was it something she made up? No, was her own experience really that suspicious?

"Don't worry, I've contacted someone who knows you, and she'll be here to pick you up soon."

Shangguan Yun explained very considerately.

Shiho Miyano's expression froze upon hearing this, a bad premonition creeping over her.

But she forced herself to remain calm. "I... I don't know anyone anymore. Big brother, you don't want those bad guys to take me back, do you?"

"Don't worry, she's not a bad person, right..." Shangguan Yun comforted her.

"Okay, she's here."

Shangguan Yun heard the commotion outside and knew that Vermouth had arrived.

She got up and walked towards the door. Shiho Miyano had just applied medicine to her feet and couldn't walk, so she could only nervously watch Shangguan Yun's figure.

But Shangguan Yun's figure soon disappeared from the living room.

At this moment, Shiho Miyano's bad premonition grew stronger and stronger. She knew this feeling very well. Every time she got close to the organization's leaders, she would feel like her heart was being gripped.

Could that guy have some connection to the organization?

Could the person he mentioned who knows him be from an organization?

Amidst the approaching footsteps, Shangguan Yun reappeared.

But when she saw the figure following behind Shangguan Yun, her pupils contracted sharply, and she froze.

A chilling sensation swept over her, making her even more terrified than when she first saw the two monsters.

Why is this woman here?! What's her relationship with this guy?

Shiho Miyano never realized that her brain was so inadequate.

He thought he had successfully escaped from the organization, only to find that he had just circled the edge of the wolf's den and almost got eaten by a lion.

Shangguan Yun clearly felt Shiho Miyano's trembling and fear, and looked at Vermouth, who was staring at her with an incredulous expression, with some confusion.

He had previously thought the other person was being chased by someone else, but then he remembered Vermouth saying that it was someone from her organization who called her over. Now it seemed that wasn't the case.

The other person looked at Vermouth as if they had seen something terrifying.

"Aren't you colleagues? Why is she reacting like this?"

Vermouth was a little embarrassed by this and didn't know how to explain, so she could only say the truth: "She was indeed a colleague before, but she escaped from the organization tonight."

Shangguan Yun was speechless; it seemed he was being hunted down by his own people.

It seems I've actually made things worse...

Looking at the little girl staring at Vermouth and herself with resentment, Shangguan Yun felt a headache coming on.

"Long time no see, Sherry," Vermouth greeted with a smile.

"Vermouth...who exactly is this person next to you? I never expected the organization to have someone like this."

Shiho Miyano's tone was icy. Things had come to this point, and she no longer needed to pretend. She knew that she couldn't escape today.

"You've misunderstood. Shangguan Jun isn't a member of the organization, and the organization can't afford someone like him."

"Ok?"

Shiho Miyano was taken aback, but for some reason, she felt a sense of relief.

She's now afraid that Shangguan Yun was also trained by the organization. If someone who can beat that kind of monster so badly is really a member of the organization, then the organization is terrifying.

Judging from Vermouth's tone, this guy named Shangguan seems to be someone even the organization can't afford to offend.

But the other party still personally delivered him into the hands of the organization.

Her emotionless emerald eyes glanced at Shangguan Yun, who was standing next to Vermouth.

He saved me once, and then handed me back to the organization, so we're even.

This may be her fate; the world simply cannot accept her.

"You killed my sister..."

She glared at Vermouth with resentment; if she were an adult, she would definitely fight this woman to the death.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yun recalled the woman who had been taken as a divine artifact by Bishamonten.

Shangguan Yun had a fairly good impression of him; he seemed to be a very gentle person, and he didn't seem to have much sin on him.

Unexpectedly, the other party was killed by Chris and her organization. This kind of hatred is indeed not easy to resolve.

Vermouth glanced nervously at Shangguan Yun, and seeing that he did not show any displeasure, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After all, she knew very well that he was actually quite kind-hearted, and she was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with her because of this.

As for taking action against the organization, Vermouth said she didn't care.

Vermouth took the initiative to explain, "Your sister betrayed the organization, and it was Gin who did it, not me."

Shiho Miyano's attitude didn't change at all upon hearing this. "You wanted to take me back, didn't you? Fine, come on then. But you'd better just kill me. I won't do anything for the organization anymore!"

Seeing that things were escalating and a tragedy was about to unfold at any moment, Shangguan Yun could only helplessly say, "Alright, stop. This time it was my fault for not clarifying things. As compensation, you don't have to go back to that organization, and I can give you another chance to see your sister."

"what?!"
