The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Raindrops rattled when they fell on Suz's umbrella.

Shiho Miyano became extraordinarily silent.

At this moment, she seemed to be extremely awake, and it seemed that she had lost her superfluous ability to think and became extremely unconscious.

There was not even a figure other than the two of them in the deserted streets.

After all, the base is located in a place that is rarely populated, and it is obviously impossible for Shiho Miyano to run to a crowded place in such a short period of time with just his feet.

"Do you remember now? Shirley. The person on the other end of the phone asked again, but there was no urging meaning, like a tolerant and gentle elder.

But the other party is by no means a good-tempered elder.

"Why did you give me another chance?" Shiho Miyano asked very calmly when he heard his voice.

Her words were not the answer to the question, but the other party must have understood that she had already remembered the original wish of Shiho Miyano when he had not yet received the code name.

And Shiho Miyano, who later became Shirley, forgot his original wish.

also forgot that at the beginning, the organization actually gave her the right to choose.

One option is to be a low-level member like her sister Akemi Miyano, who is not taken seriously, but there is no danger.

And Shiho Miyano, who was a child, chose another.

"I want my mom and dad to come back to life and live with me, my sister, and my family."

Eighteen-year-old Shiho Miyano seems to hear his own voice when he was young more than ten years ago.

She volunteered to join the organization and volunteered to study hard to get the code name.

Even once upon a time, getting a code name was one of her goals.

"Not just give you a chance, but also give Ato a chance." The tone of the person opposite seemed to be a little helpless.

"Although he sabotaged Heriga's lab, interrupted ongoing experiments, and let you go."

"But I don't want to punish him."

Shiho Miyano felt as if he had heard a sigh.

"Aitto is very precious to me."

"So, how about acting as if nothing happened today?"

"You're still Shirley of the Order, and he's still Avi Creel."

"You can still fulfill your original wish."

That person's words revealed the importance of Aito, and his undisguised preference, but Miyano Shiho did not doubt it.

Because...... This is normal.

She had known about it from the very beginning, when Aitto had just returned home and used the card he had given him to buy things for them.

The one who likes Aitto, no doubt.

“…… And what about my sister? Miyano Shiho's voice was low, with a little unconscious greed.

Since you can resurrect your parents, what ...... What about my sister?

"Your sister's body has been recycled and preserved, and if you insist, you can keep it." The one spoke lightly.

Shiho Miyano subconsciously showed an ecstatic expression, but he heard the other party say but.

"But...... What do you exchange it for? Shirley. ”

"Ordinary people need to be punished for doing wrong things, but I have exempted you from punishment this time, and the resurrection of your parents is a promise that the organization promised you at the beginning, and the extra resurrection qualifications belong to your sister...... What do you trade it for? It was still in a gentle, elegant tone, and he said it without hurry.

It seems that I can imagine the other party's face with a calm and shallow smile.

What did she exchange for?

Is there anything else she can give in exchange?

Shiho Miyano couldn't speak for a while.

She didn't have anything to come up with in exchange.

Her loyalty to the Order? This is something of no value, and in order to resurrect her parents, mothers and sisters, of course, she did her best to conduct research.

At this moment, even her life is in the hands of the other party, what else can she come up with that is enough to impress the other party?

Shiho Miyano was silent for a long time, as if he was simply thinking about what to exchange, and as if he was struggling with his conscience.

Finally, she ended her silence and spoke slowly:

“…… Shinichi Kudo didn't die, he was the same as me, and 4869 played a role in him. ”

"With him, the research progress will be much faster."

"Oh?" It was Suz who made the sound, and he spoke out in a little surprise.

Shirley wasn't the only one getting smaller, there was another?

But how did Shirley find out about this?

"In that case, you should go to Kudo Shinichi, it will be more convenient for you to observe and study, isn't it?" The voice on the other end of the phone still didn't fluctuate at all, it was always the same tone, calm, soothing, and unhurried.

"You can find Shinichi Kudo, right, Shirley." The one said in a calm, unquestioning tone.

“…… Yes. Shiho Miyano opened his mouth and lowered his head to give an answer.

"Looking forward to your research and final results." He used this as the last sentence to conclude.

The call is over.

Suzi put his phone away and stood up again with his umbrella.

"Escaped again, Shirley." He dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

The pitch-black figure faded away.

From beginning to end, he did not say a word to send Miyano Shiho a ride.

And he didn't tell Suz to do so.

The rain is still falling.

Shiho Miyano looked at the gloomy sky, and the vague figure of himself that seemed to have become equally muddy reflected in the sewage puddle beside him, and trembled and crawled up.

I'm afraid that the meaning of that person is to let her find a way to get to Kudo Shinichi by herself.

With a body as weak as it is now, in a high fever.

And she had no choice.

The haze, the heavy rain, like a faded painting, a girl stumbling through the painting in a dirty body, merging with the painting.

……

Suzi came to a parking place with an umbrella in hand, opened the black SUV door and got into the car.

"Is that okay?" The boy in the back seat of the car turned his head back and looked at Suz in the driver's seat.

"I don't know." Suzi put away his umbrella and yawned, leaning back in his chair with sleepy eyes, his head tilted back.

"But it looks like Shirley has made up her mind......"

"Again and again gave her hope of escaping, and again and again shattered this hope...... I think she's completely desperate. ”

Suzi recalled Shirley's expression and said thoughtfully.

How to describe the other party's last expression? It's like ...... Completely accepted the numbness and calmness of fate, and a little ruthless.

Until then, Suzi had always thought that Shirley was not like someone who grew up in tissue culture.

And now......

The other party finally has the feeling of being raised by the organization.

At the same time, it has become no different from the rest of the organization.

It's the same for everyone.

"Because it is said that like this, Sister Shiho will never want to run away again." The teenager in the back seat was lying on his seat, his voice soft and his smile sweet.

"Next, Sister Shiho will go to Shinichi's brother's side, which is where I live......"

The more time you spend together, the better the relationship will naturally become.

"But when will she die?" The white-haired, blue-eyed young man held his cheeks in his hands, and his tone was full of seriousness and distress.
