Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

After briefly discussing the short-term action plan with Vermouth, Koizumi finally relaxed completely and strolled around London for a day.

And with Vermouth, a tour guide who was like a local, Koizumi had a great time.

I checked in at famous attractions in London and watched a musical at the Vent Garden Opera House.

Koizumi had been expecting that it might be the musical "Golden Apple" in the original work where Kudo Shinichi and Mori Nao first met Bayonetta, but unfortunately, probably because Kudo Shinichi was not present, the world's will did not come out to cause trouble like it did in Dorobiga Paradise.

Although he didn't understand anything, Koizumi still watched the entire performance with great interest, and then went to the restaurant that Bayonetta had booked in advance for dinner in the evening.

But this time, she finally met someone she knew.

Koizumi and Vermouth had just sat down for a while when they heard someone talking next to them.

"Hey, Aunt Sakurai!"

"Hey, Sharon?"

Vermouth was the first to smile and nod: "Yukiko, long time no see."

Koizumi: ...

Really haunted.

She came all the way to London, why did she meet this family?

Koizumi sighed silently, turned around and greeted the visitor with a smile: "Mr. Kudo, Sister Yukiko, and Little Kudo, good evening."

This family of three had obviously just come in from outside. The waiter who showed them to their seats knew them so he asked them considerately if they wanted to dine together and offered to give them a bigger seat.

Although Kudo Shinichi was only an elementary school student, his English listening skills were surprisingly good. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"

However, before Koizumi could refuse, Kudo Yukiko said, "It's very rude of you, Shin-chan. You haven't asked for the other party's opinion yet."

Kudo Shinichi pursed his lips and muttered quietly: "Anyway, Aunt Sakurai will definitely not agree, so we have to strike first."

However, before Vermouth or Koizumi could express their opinions, a male voice interrupted their conversation.

"Mr. Kudo, Ms. Sakurai, good evening."

Before the adults could say anything, Kudo Shinichi shouted in surprise: "Eh? Akai-sama!"

"Hey, Akai-kun?"

The Kudo couple also turned around and greeted him.

Akai Shuichi smiled and nodded: "What a surprise, I actually met you here."

Koizumi felt the corner of his eye twitch.

Unexpected troubles have arisen...

She had originally considered the possibility of running into Shuichi Akai, but both she and Sister Bei were active near the scenic area, so the chances of running into him shouldn't be high, right?

So was this encounter a coincidence, or...

Koizumi glanced at the expression of Vermouth beside him and saw that she was very relaxed and didn't care about the situation at all.

Therefore, this must have been just a coincidence.

...Or, she was arranged by the will of the world again.

No wonder it was so quiet the whole day today, it turns out that the event was arranged to start here.

Noticing Koizumi's gaze, Vermouth also gave Koizumi a questioning look.

Koizumi shook his head slightly, also indicating that the accident had nothing to do with him.

Sister Bei nodded slightly, and then gave Koizumi another hint.

Koizumi saw that Vermouth's gaze passed over Akai Shuichi and fell on somewhere behind him, so he followed her line of sight and saw a lady with fashionable clothes and short golden hair looking at them expressionlessly at a dining table a little far away from them.

Um, who is this?

Koizumi withdrew his gaze and looked at Vermouth again.

Sister Bei smiled meaningfully and said softly, "If I hadn't made an agreement with you just now, I really wouldn't want to give up this fun."

Koizumi understood immediately.

That woman turned out to be Akai Mari!

That’s right, Shuichi Akai is standing right next to him. The woman who can act with him in London is most likely Shuichi Akai’s mother.

Koizumi just agreed on the immediate action plan with Sister Bei yesterday.

First, forge a new identity so that she can hide from Karasuma Renya's sight in the future.

Second, although they will continue to stay in London in the short term, they will no longer continue to carry out the organization's cleanup tasks.

If those who are obsessed with the organization’s past mess are willing to continue investigating, let them do so.

This item specifically refers to MI6, including the Akai family, and intelligence organizations of other countries.

If necessary, they could even be given enough bait so that they could help muddy the waters and provide cover for Koizumi's subsequent actions.

Vermouth, a senior code name member, has been exposed to too many secret matters in the organization, and she has enough baits to use.

This new job is a perfect fit for her.

Of course, if Koizumi wants to know any secret information, he can also ask her.

In Bayley's own words: "I know all the mess in the organization very well. There's no need to dig it out from Rum's legacy. If there's anything you want to know, I can tell you the whole story even if it's an old story."

Koizumi: ...

It’s confirmed, the people in the intelligence team are just a bunch of melon farmers!

Also, if Gin were present, he would probably doubt whether this straightforward guy in front of him was really the "mysticist" Vermouth, right?

Laugh to death.

Ah, back to the topic.

What is the reason why Vermouth has been stationed in London for a long time?

The goal is to get rid of Akai Mary, who is a hindrance to the organization.

The reason why it has not been cleaned up is entirely because Vermouth is just being lazy and even has the intention of teasing people.

Even if Akai Shuichi and Akai Marie were to make it difficult for her, it wouldn't be that difficult for her, who had maxed out her disguise skills and wasn't afraid of getting hurt...

As for her being besieged and injured yesterday...

Sister Bei didn't explain.

But Koizumi felt that this was just a self-torture trick by Bayonetta.

She found an excuse to trick her over here, and seeing that Sister Bei was so pitiful and in a critical condition, as a nominal colleague of the organization, she had no choice but to help.

To put it bluntly, not only is she on guard against Bayonetta and 1999, but Vermouth is also on guard against her!

Now that Vermouth has confirmed that she will no longer continue to carry out the organization's cleanup mission, there is of course no need to pay attention to Akai and his mother.

...Well, it's not a bad idea to tease them for fun when you're bored.

However, they had just decided on the course of action and met Lezi Benle today, which was really a bit unexpected.

Koizumi glanced at the woman over there curiously.

Mary Akai looks young and beautiful, with skin and figure that are in no way inferior to Bayonetta. She doesn't look like a mother of three children at all, and I don't know how she maintains her looks.

...Well, young, beautiful and well-maintained?

A thought suddenly flashed through Koizumi's mind, but it was so vague that she couldn't catch it.

The situation at the scene did not leave her any time to spare.

She only exchanged glances for a few moments before Kudo Shinichi came over and sat down next to her in a very familiar manner: "Hey, Sakurai-san, why are you coming to London at this time?"

Koizumi: ...

Haha, Kudo Shinichi.

You call her aunt when nothing is wrong, but when something goes wrong she becomes sister?

Don’t think that she didn’t hear it clearly just now. When you first met, you, little bastard, blurted out “Auntie”!

Seeing Kudo Yusaku and Akai Shuichi standing in the aisle next to the dining table and chatting, the restaurant waiter next to them was obviously a little impatient.

He raised his voice slightly and asked again: "Excuse me, do you want to sit together?"

Shuichi Akai and the three Kudo family members all looked at Koizumi.

Koizumi: ...

Turning around, he asked, "Sister Sharon, do you mind?"

Vermouth chuckled: "Since they are all your acquaintances, it's up to you to decide."

If there were only the Kudo family or the Akai family, Koizumi would definitely not want to join a table as it would be very tiring.

But if the Kudo family and the Akai family are put together, first of all, the two groups will restrain each other, and the pressure on her will be reduced.

Not only will the pressure be reduced, but maybe there will be something fun to watch?

So Koizumi nodded decisively: "Then let's go together."

She glanced in the direction of Akai Mari and teased Akai Shuichi, "Does your girlfriend want to come too?"
