Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Akasaka Concert Hall.

Akikawa Sarana saw from a distance the three girls and Conan who were waiting for her at the gate. Although it was already afternoon, she still felt that the weather was too cold, so she asked a few people to wait for her at the door of the hall.

It was obvious that the four people over there also saw her and waved and greeted her in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Akikawa Sarana quickened her pace and walked towards the group of people.

As soon as she pushed the door open and entered the outermost hall of Akasaka Concert Hall, the four people guarding there had already run to the door.

"Long time no see, Sister Akikawa! Good afternoon~ How are you feeling today?" Suzuki Sonoko was still as energetic as ever. Because she called Akikawa Sarina every few days, she seemed to be much more familiar with her than before and even dared to ask directly about her health problems.

"Good afternoon, Sonoko and everyone."

Akikawa Sarina naturally understood why Suzuki Sonoko was close to her. She was actually a little confused as to why this young lady liked her so much, but being liked by others was a very happy thing, so she naturally would not reject her kindness.

However, due to the existence of the organization, she could not show obvious awareness of Sonoko's kindness and could only pretend that she did not quite understand.

"I feel good today. The recent period of rest has been very effective."

To be honest, the place that Vermouth found for her must have been carefully selected. It was really suitable for her body to recuperate. It was only after living there for such a long time that she realized that the place was half a sanatorium, but it was too expensive. She had to stay there for a while before the organization was destroyed.

Or maybe she didn't have enough vision. Before, when she thought about reimbursement, she just tried to spend more of the organization's money on the most common necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and bought properties in various places like a little hamster.

When it comes to reimbursement, it has to be Vermouth. In this regard, Akikawa Sarina really admires her.

However, Ling's methods of claiming reimbursement were varied. She had no idea where her former boyfriend with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a serious face learned all these tricks.

It was not obvious that Akikawa Sarina was distracted. Even the perceptive Conan did not notice that Akikawa Sarina, who was talking normally to everyone at the moment, was distracted to the point of admiring Vermouth and her boyfriend's various ways of reimbursing money.

"By the way, didn't Sister Akikawa say that Mr. Amuro would come with you? Where is he?" As expected of someone who grew up abroad, Masumi Sera is confident and generous without being reserved at all. She has already started to call her sister affectionately like her friends.

"He went to park the car. It's about time for him to arrive."

Akikawa Sarina was also wondering why her boyfriend took so long to park. There weren't many people here today, so there shouldn't be a queue when parking.

But what she was thinking was whether he had received an important call or email that needed to be dealt with.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran looked at each other, and a hint of apology flashed in their eyes. Of course, this was not towards Akikawa Sarina but towards Amuro Toru who had not arrived yet.

The two wondered if they had disturbed the date between Akikawa Sarina and Amuro Toru.

Conan had noticed the entanglement between Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko before. Based on his understanding of these two people, if they were really on a date, there was no way they would accept the invitation.

So in order to make Mao Lilan not feel entangled, Conan spoke directly, "Akikawa sister, were you dating Mr. Amuro before? After all, it is a rare good time on the weekend."

Akikawa Sarina raised her hand and flicked Conan's forehead, "You are such a smart kid."

After Conan spoke, she also understood the change in the expressions of the two high school students just now. She said to the two of them: "The two of us were researching a new recipe at home. Of course, Toru was the one doing the research, and I was in charge of the tasting. We didn't have any other plans for the afternoon, so we just happened to come over to watch the rehearsal. Thank you too."

"A new recipe?"

Sera Masumi blinked, "So can we expect new dishes from Polloli?"

Just at this moment, Toru Amuro walked over from another direction and heard what Masumi Sera said from a distance.

He winked at his girlfriend who had already seen him, and replied, "Of course..."

When everyone heard his voice, they turned to look in the direction of Amuro Toru, and then heard him finish the second half of his sentence.

“It’s not a dish that will be served at Polloli~”

"Huh? Why?" Sera Masumi, who was originally looking forward to having delicious food, was visibly wilted. As a person who was poisoned by dark cuisine since childhood, she really likes to eat all kinds of delicious food.

Others were also very curious. After all, there were very few dishes developed by Toru Amuro that were not served in Polloli's menu, and he himself was not the kind of person who would keep his own dishes to himself.

Akikawa Sarana glanced at her boyfriend who was keeping her in suspense and said the second half of the sentence for him, "It's because the venue of Boro is not suitable. New dishes take a lot of time to make, so they are not suitable to be sold in Boro."

Ling has indeed been researching new dishes recently, and pickling vegetables is indeed a time-consuming and material-intensive process, but it was not what the two of them did this morning.

"So that's how it is." Another person walked out not far behind Amuro Toru. He lagged behind Amuro Toru by a few steps and his body was blocked by the decorative vase behind him.

"Mr. Okiya?"

Not only the children, even Akikawa Sarina's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but she hid it very well and no one noticed the change in her eyes.

It turned out that the reason why Zero didn't come over immediately was because he met him. Akikawa Sarina understood it in her heart.

Subaru Okiya waved to everyone, his tone gentle, his signature smile on his face, "Good afternoon, everyone. I didn't expect to meet you here. I was a little surprised to run into Mr. Amuro in the parking lot just now."

Looking at Okiya Subaru greeting everyone, Akikawa Sarina glanced at Conan standing next to her.

She sighed in her heart, [Hoho, I think you are right, that USB flash drive might... should... most likely be with us, Conan, Akai Shuichi, me and Zero...]

[Host!!! Please be careful, it is impossible that only the Red Team is here.]

Akikawa Sarana, who was more familiar with the organization's methods of operation, naturally knew why her own Tomoko said that, although she understood it from another perspective.

[Yes, I know. We have to be on guard against Gin and Rum who have not made any move. Even if Vermouth is in charge of this mission, they can't just ignore it, especially Gin.]

Maybe this mission is another test or... a gamble?
