Chapter 75(1/2)

"Host, calm down! Calm down! Calm down!! Calm down!!!"

On the Shikishima dormitory train returning to Tokyo from Hokkaido, in a certain bedroom car, a figure with snarling teeth and claws was holding the gun holster at her waist. The expression on her face was distorted by extreme anger, and her facial features were flying around, and she was stunningly beautiful.

His face became terrifying as a result.

The system frantically held Furukawa Kumisa's gun-drawing hand in its mind, trying to calm her down.

"Warning! Warning! The host's emotional value is abnormal. In extreme cases, the system will activate the click mode to help the host ease the condition!"

Furukawa Kumisa yelled: "Electricity! You have the ability to call me! You have the ability to electrocute me directly!! I can't stay in this broken world!! Come on!!! Do it!!!"

The system listened with fear to the series of exclamation points in Furukawa Kumisa's tone, while trying to continue to comfort her.

"Calm down, host, it's useless even if you draw your gun now, we don't even know where Shuichi Akai is!"

This sentence finally convinced Furukawa Kumisa, and she seemed to calm down: "You are right."

The system breathed a sigh of relief.

"I should find Akai Shuichi first, and then draw the gun."

System: ...No, that's not what I meant.

But no matter what, Furukawa Kumisa finally extinguished his hot-headed anger and stopped drawing his gun and rushing out.

She walked around the room twice to dissipate her anger, then picked up the mineral water on the table and drank two gulps. Still feeling that she couldn't suppress her anger, she walked towards the door.

The system was instantly shocked: "What do you want to do?"

"Go to the bathroom compartment and take a cold shower."

The system stopped her again: "Wait a minute..."

Furukawa Kumisa was instantly furious: "This won't work, and that won't work either! I can only sit alone in the room and go crazy, right?!"

The system was yelled at and felt aggrieved: "...I mean, you forgot to bring a change of clothes."

Furukawa Kumisa:……

She held the doorknob for a moment.

After a long while, under the silence that frightened the system, Furukawa Kumisa finally retracted his hand, sighed heavily, and then fell against the quilt.

The system waited for a few minutes, and seeing that she had no other actions, it tremblingly opened its mouth: "Host..."

"Stop talking, let me be quiet..."

Having said this, Furukawa Kumisa suddenly sat up and asked an unrelated question: "System, do you have a physical body?"

System: ...Although I don’t know why the host is asking this, I just want to tell it that this is not a question that can be answered with "yes".

If it had a body, its head would be shaking like a rattle by now: "No, no, no."

...Although it is true, the tone in which it was said made it sound like it was trying to hide something.

Furukawa Kumisa sighed and lay back down again.

The system thought for a while and then asked: "If I have an entity, what do you... want to do?"

Furukawa Kumisa said quietly: "So do you have it?"

"...No, no, no."

"Then you don't need to know."

system:……

After intimidating the system, Furukawa Kumisa's last trace of uncool anger was finally suppressed, and her mind gradually began to clear up.

Now that things have happened, no matter how angry you are, it won't help. It's better to calm down and think about where Akai Shuichi is now, then you can have a chance to take revenge... No, dispel his suspicions.

Unlike Kudo Shinichi's time, Furukawa Kumisa witnessed the entire process of his testing of her and his eventual fall from grace, which was a happy death for her.

But this time, Akai Shuichi was in a sudden disaster - she didn't even know where Akai Shuichi's person was until now, but suddenly disaster fell from the sky, and she fell off her horse with a "snap".

There is no cause or effect, no signs.

She almost wanted to grab the system by the collar and ask if there was any bug in it.

After the system repeatedly assured that it had not made any mistakes, Furukawa Kumisa fell into deep thought.

Okay, now assuming that the system made no mistakes (System: I just didn’t make mistakes!), that is to say, Akai Shuichi has indeed obtained reliable information that "he is the second Natafi".

It is known that the targets of the previous lives have retained their memories of themselves, but ordinary people in this world do not, which means that Shuichi Akai cannot connect himself with Natafi through any conventional means.

Then there are two possibilities.

The first thing, and the first thing that comes to Furukawa Kumisa's mind, is that the problem lies with Haibara Ai.

At present, Haibara Ai is the only person who knows that "Furukawa Kumisa is the second Natafi", so it is completely normal to suspect her in the first place.

But on the other hand, Furukawa Kumisa also believed that Haibara Ai would definitely not take the initiative to reveal her identity to Akai Shuichi - after all, he had already told her the "cause of death" at that time.

She didn't think that after learning the truth, Haibara Ai could remain indifferent and reveal her identity to Akai Shuichi, the "murderer".

In comparison, Haibara Ai might choose to fight with Akai Shuichi.

...Whether it can be beaten is another matter.

Second, Shuichi Akai learned through other channels that there is another "Natafi" in the organization.

This is also the most likely reason at present.

Akai Hidemoto still remembered himself. Now that he knows that there is another "Natafi" in the organization, he will definitely think of himself.

"System, come out and get beaten!"

The system woke up instantly: "Why is it none of my business again?"

"If you hadn't been too lazy to change my code name, this wouldn't have happened now!"

The system is also very aggrieved. After all, it has never seen such a situation. It never knew that each target can recover its memory across worlds. You can't blame it for not being prepared at the beginning...

But it knew it was wrong, so it cowered away without making any excuses.

After scolding the system, Furukawa Kumisa suddenly had an idea.

Logically speaking, even if Shuichi Akai knew that another "Natafi" had appeared in the organization, he should not be able to immediately be sure that he was still alive based on this information alone. At least there should be a process of testing himself, right?

That naughty kid Kudo Shinichi had been making a fuss for nearly half a month, but it was because of his own mistakes that he was able to confirm his identity.

——So, is it possible that the above two situations are combined?

Akai Shuichi learned that there was another "Natafi" in the organization. At the same time, he also learned that a version of himself appeared next to Haibara Ai...

If so, then two more problems arise.

First of all, how did Akai Shuichi know the situation in the organization? - Of course, this question is actually easy to answer. The organization has now been turned into a sieve by undercover agents, not to mention that there is Mizuno Reina who wants to know the latest information about the organization.

Not difficult.

Then there is only the second question left - how did Akai Shuichi know the situation around Haibara Ai?

In particular, she became familiar with Haihara Ai after they came to Hokkaido.

That is to say, Akai Shuichi was able to detect the information about himself around Haibara Ai, only at the latest stage.

Thinking of this, Furukawa Kumisa, who had just laid down on the bed, sat up "risingly", startling the silent system.

"...What do you want to do again?"

Furukawa Kumisa ignored it, put on his coat and walked out.

The system watched her push open the door and go out, but she just walked towards Haiyuan Ai's room without doing anything out of the ordinary, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Toru Amuro and Conan Edogawa, who had just come out of Subaru Okiya's room, came from the other end of the carriage.

In the narrow carriage corridor, two groups of people met in a narrow way.

Toru Amuro looked at Kumisa Furukawa in front of him, and his first reaction was why this scene was so familiar.

The second reaction was - things are about to get worse.

Sure enough, a suspicious look appeared on Furukawa Kumisa's face, and he looked at the two of them: "Didn't you two go to the dining car to eat?"

Although she didn't see the scene when the two of them walked out of Subaru Okiya's room, she at least remembered that the dining car was not in this direction.

Toru Amuro and Edogawa Conan froze slightly. No one expected that Furukawa Kumisa would be so active today - usually she would hardly leave the bedroom for a walk at night, but they didn't expect that she would run out twice in a row today and bump into them.

.

Edogawa Conan improvised: "We just went to the bathroom compartment."

Furukawa Kumisa's eyes were even more wrong: "You two? Wash together?"

Toru Amuro:......

Furukawa Kumisa obviously didn't believe his nonsense: "What about your change of clothes?"

Edogawa Conan:……

Toru Amuro coughed, and his mind quickly turned to Edogawa Conan to make up for it: "We..."

Before he could find an excuse, the door next to him was opened with a "clatter", and Haibara Ai stood at the door with an angry look on his face. The low air pressure around him could even be felt by Edogawa Conan who was standing farthest away.
To be continued...
