Chapter 42 - New Mission

After a moment, Morofushi Hiromitsu contacted Furuya Rei about this mission.

On one side, he had to complete the mission if he wanted to get closer to the core. On the other side, the public security wanted the information that this man had in his hand and naturally also saved his life. He had already surrendered to them and the police wanted to protect him.

But…

Morofushi Hiromitsu looked at the message sent to him. 

[... someone will watch over your mission as your observer. - Sake]

The last part clearly told him that someone will be present to watch over his mission and if he were to purposely fail… what awaited him might be another pursuit from the organization. Just thinking about how miserable he was at that time when he got chased by many people in the organization, Morofushi Hiromitsu felt that things were really difficult. 

"I can go there in person and arrange for the police to move, but you have to act as if you really want to complete the mission." Furuya Rei's expression was not very good.

He knew that the two of them wouldn't be able to appear in person.

If the organization caught wind of it…

Well, it'll be dangerous.

"I understand."

Amamiya Yuki looked at the barrage and it only showed that Morofushi Hiromitsu sent a text message to Sake containing the sentence that he understood.

Amamiya Yuki: "..."

Tsk, she really couldn't cheat with the barrage all the time.

Then again, there were five active players right now. If any of them leaked out the matter to Conan, then it wouldn't be interesting.

Speaking of which, she wondered how Conan would be involved in. 

It couldn't be that he found out about the police secret operations, right? Their confidentiality shouldn't be that bad….

Thinking about Conan's magical operation, Amamiya Yuki was a bit doubtful now. If it's her subordinate who ended up leaking the news, she'll send him to the commander for an extended training!

Even if his opponent is Conan, it doesn't make sense to let him participate in such a dangerous matter.

[What kind of missions do these fake wines have?]

[AHH, I'm getting curious!]

[I want to see more of Conan finding another fake wine]

[Pfft! Always fake wine, huh?]

[It can't be helped. Real wine will only end up like Ireland.]

[Ireland hadn't appeared yet at this time]

[Ehh? Really?]

The live broadcast barrage was noisy.

And Peter was actually thinking about tailing Conan for the time being. After all, if Conan ended up being able to meet with the case, he could report it to the FBI.

This way, they could get ahead once more.

Not far from him, Lucas was slumped on the ground, feeling lifeless.

"Why do I get suspected to be Sake? I don't even know who it is…" Lucas felt hopeless when he saw the barrage that appeared in front of him.

If it's not because they couldn't see him right now, he would never say those things.

Peter glanced at Lucas helplessly. "Perhaps because the way you appeared is not interesting enough?"

"I just bicker with Jodie and then do what James told me," Lucas replied while staring at the mall. "If I can get some props, it's not impossible for me to go back to the past and become black party member."

It's just expensive.

And Lucas has no plan on taking another debt after finally paying off his previous debts to buy some skills suitable to become an FBI agent. He made ruckus appear near Jodie and Conan at that time, making Conan suspicious of him when he was also suspicious of Jodie.

Later on, Conan understood that he's also an FBI agent and naturally stopped pestering him.

"You can make good use of this wave. As long as you're being suspected of being red or black, it's not impossible for you to get a lot of popularity afterwards," Peter reminded.

Anyway, it's not that easy for them to get more fans by now.

Lucas remembered the forced live broadcast from before and covered his face in pain.

He really didn't want to remember that.

Obtaining popularity point was indeed a good thing, but if it had to be obtained through sacrificing his own reputation… Lucas really didn't want to. He also still remembered that Hanada Hitomi was still eyeing him.

It was estimated that she would not hesitate to smear his name if given the chance. 

"Oh well, since I'm suspected to be Black… let's go and see Conan next." Lucas decided that since he had been suspected, it's better to play until the end. He still has a long way to go before he could reach the amount of popularity points needed to stay in the Conan's world even after his death.

Peter shook his head and decided to plant a camera on Lucas.

This way, he could see what kind of case that Conan will participate in through Lucas.

While Lucas was following Conan and was involved in a case again, Amamiya Yuki was thinking of her itinerary today. The shooting was scheduled in the afternoon. As for why it's not midnight again, let's blame it on the intelligence agent who provided the information.

Anyway, there was still enough time and Amamiya Yuki made her way to Poirot Cafe.

There were not many people in Poirot Cafe today. 

When she pushed open the glass door of Poirot Cafe, she immediately saw Conan and his group sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Besides Conan and Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko was also there today. Freshly made sandwiches and juices were placed in front of them, and Sonoko was excitedly telling Ran about things at school. They seemed to be quite excited today.

Aside from them, Amamiya Yuki spotted Lucas and Peter who were sitting on the table not far from them.

Her eyes turned a bit subtle.

FBI agents coming to Poirot Cafe…

Are they not worried that Amuro Toru will kick them out?

Especially considering that Amuro Toru had already known Lucas' identity as an FBI agent after he was reported by Hanada Hitomi for illegal firearm possession.

"Welcome." Amuro Toru smiled when he saw Amamiya Yuki coming in, but she could see that he seemed to be a bit displeased not long ago. 

Well, he should have recognized those two FBI agents.

'But Amuro Toru is really fast in coming back to Poirot Cafe to work. I thought that he'll stay further away for the time being.'

"I would like to order honey pancakes," Amamiya Yuki replied casually.

Amuro Toru nodded and said that it'll be ready soon while Mouri Ran saw Amamiya Yuki and called her over to sit with them. 

"Yuki San really loves to have breakfast here." Sonoko teased when she saw Amamiya Yuki coming again. It was really easy to find Amamiya Yuki in the morning.

One just needs to go to Poirot Cafe.

"The food here is delicious." Amamiya Yuki chuckled.

Even if Amuro Toru is not here, Enomoto Azusa is also a good chef and the food are delicious. She enjoyed having breakfast here.

For lunch and dinner, she could only solve it in other restaurants.

"Oh, right, we didn't see each other after the Mystery Train stopped. Did you get out safely, Yuki San?" Mouri Ran asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I come out safe and sound." Amamiya Yuki chuckled. "I should be the one worried for you since your father is busy reasoning for the murder."

"Eh? You were there, Yuki San?"

"Yeah, I went out to find the restroom and stumbled upon the reasoning scene," Amamiya Yuki replied with a shrug. "There are a lot of detectives here."

They all laughed and then the conversation turned to Sonoko lamenting that she couldn't plant the letter that she wanted. 

"I really want to see Kaito Kid…" Sonoko sighed.

"Huh? But Kaito Kid was onboard, though?" Amamiya Yuki remarked casually.

The moment she said that, several pairs of eyes turned in her direction.
