"How does this guy like to build a villa in a place like this."

When the car stopped halfway up the mountain, Ikekawa Na touched the pet lying on his lap and rested with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but complain as he looked at the scenery outside.

Yasuda Zaibatsu President Ichiro Asuda set up the main house at the top of the mountain, with only one mountain road leading to the main gate, lined with lush trees.

Looking from the middle of the road, it is easy to see the shadows of the trees as people hiding in the shadows, and the whole mountain looks like a ghost movie set.

Originally, he wanted to go back after the mission was completed, he didn't like to sleep in unfamiliar places, but looking at the road conditions and the snow that had begun to fall at the moment, it was estimated that he would not be able to go back until tomorrow morning.

Listening to this complaint, Amuro Touyan, who was in charge of driving, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

...... And say others, isn't your villa also on the mountain, and the whole mountain is fenced off and half a person can't go up, it looks like a haunted house than here.

This is probably a common problem of rich people.

"You can go down here." Seeing that the roof of the villa could already be seen here, Ikekawa opened the car door, and the cold wind quickly poured in from the open car door, blowing up the wide robe.

He touched Enoch's furry ears and motioned for the other party to get out of the car, "Enoch? ”

This uncommon 'pet' naturally can't be brought in directly from the gate, and many times when he goes on a mission, he will let this smart big cat go to the location by himself.

It has the acumen of a beast and can monitor the movements of everyone outside the mission site and eliminate unnecessary dangers in time. Sometimes you can add a meal to get rid of some 'things' that are found to be causing trouble.

However, Enoch usually takes the initiative to get out of the car at this time, but at this moment, he stands up slowly, turning his head to look at people's expressions and a little aggrieved.

“... What's wrong? Ikekawa reached out and pinched its paws, "Still uncomfortable?" ”

I think that guy just doesn't want you to be alone with me.

Thinking of the leopard's various appearances, Amuro narrowed his eyes.

It's a bit too smart, and this beast is not suitable for breeding in the first place, and its coat color is slightly different from that of a normal snow leopard, so it may be the recipient of the kind of drug that has been researched in the tissue laboratory.

He remembered that animals were often used in the laboratory, after all, human samples were not so easy to obtain, and if nothing else, the leopard should have come out of the laboratory.

This kind of perfect sample was casually given to each other as a gift...... No matter how you look at it, the boss is too fond of this adopted son, right?

He believes that some adoptive parents will also treat their adopted children without reservation, but judging from the rumors in the organization and his own feelings, the guy who killed the previous boss thirty years ago and became the new ruler is a person who is most oriented by profit.

Is it really good for this kind of person to have such a gratuitous reason for a child who is not related by blood...? Or is there something profitable about Na Ikekawa.

Amuro lowered his eyes and suppressed his thoughts, and when he turned his head, he looked like honey in the villa not long ago.

"If you're not feeling well, just stay in the car, right? However, it is easy to be spotted in the car, and the trunk of my car is still very large. ”

He looked at the snow leopard that looked like he was eager to come over and give him a mouthful, and his tone was a little softer, "If you don't feel well, don't force yourself to follow, but since your health is so poor, you shouldn't be able to follow such a dangerous mission in the future, right?" ”

The snow leopard glared at him and got out of the car.

Sure enough, it's still green tea, which specializes in green tea.

But this pet is too possessive of its owner, or rather, because it is a beast, there are no twists and turns in its head, so it will react to its emotions as soon as possible.

Seeing that the snow leopard's figure quickly hid in the woods, Amuro turned his head and continued to drive, and under the guidance of the maid who had been waiting at the gate of the manor, he parked the car in the parking lot at the entrance of the villa.

Keeping in mind his current status as a butler, he knocked on the door first.

"Hello, my surname is Amuro, it's Ikekawa ......"

"Mr. Ikekawa." The middle-aged man who opened the door had a beard, his gaze did not fall on the blonde man in front of him at all, he took a few steps forward, reached out and held the hand of Ikekawa Na in the back, "It is really our honor that you can come to the engagement banquet of the little girl." ”

"Mr. Yasuda." Quickly matched the other party's face with President Yasuda Ichiro in the photo, and the black-haired man withdrew his hand and said detachedly, "Because I can't pull away tomorrow, I have to visit today, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

"No, no, how could it be. It's my pleasure that you're here, please, I've got someone to make hot tea... Uh, who is this? After saying this compliment, the president was about to take the person inside before he noticed the blonde man standing next to him.

"The surname is Amuro, and he is the young master's personal butler." Maintaining the expression on his face, Amuro reached out and shook his hand.

“...... A personal butler? Hearing this, Yasuda Ichiro was stunned for a moment, and his expression was much more ambiguous, "If that's the case, do you need me to arrange for you to rest in a suite tonight?" ”

......？

The blonde housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and was about to wave his hand to refute, when he heard Ikekawa Na's exceptionally calm voice coming from the side.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." He nodded and followed the other into the room.

As soon as these words came out, the president's expression became more ambiguous.

In the heated room, which was heated by the wood burning in the fireplace, he quickly felt the heat, and turned his head and motioned to the man behind him to remove his jacket with a velvet collar.

...... It's really a young master.

Amuro sneered, because of today's identity, he still reached out and took off the other party's warm coat, held it between his arms, he moved closer, and whispered in the other party's ear, "Why do you agree?" ”

Agreeing to this request is not just pulling out a bunch of misunderstandings for no reason, Columbeth should not do this kind of thing.

“...？” Freeing herself from under her heavy coat, Ikekawa Na turned her head to look at him strangely, "You were going to come over at night, wouldn't it be more convenient to live together?" ”

If you live separately, you have to find a reason to meet, whether it is a task handover or other things, it is inconvenient.

Toru Amuro: ... So you didn't see the president's ambiguous expression at all, did you?

He twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't continue, just followed a few people into the room.

Why do you feel that sometimes Columbai's brain in this regard is particularly weak, just like in the villa just now, even the housekeeper's smile stiffened after he finished the play, and he didn't even react to anything wrong.

But usually when other people or himself make any moves, he dodges the fastest, as if he was in the winery before, and the action of withdrawing his hand from himself can be called agile.

Insensitive to this aspect of the hint in the discourse.,It's quick enough to hide in the face of intimate movements.。

Tea had already been prepared on the coffee table in the living room, Yasuda Ichiro beckoned the two to sit down, took out the tea set and poured a few cups of hot tea and pushed them over.

Ikekawa Nai picked up the teacup and took a sip, and caught a glimpse of a black figure flashing not far away, "...... Who is that? ”

"That's my doctor, and to be honest, I've always had a heart problem, and this time I asked him to come and take a look." As the president spoke, he was about to call out when he was interrupted by the sound of a maid coming forward to speak.

"Master, there's a guest outside, it's ......"

"It must be that Tateki guy here!" Before he could finish listening to the other party's words, Yasuda Ichiro stood up happily, turned his head and said as he walked outside, "Narihiko Tateki is the president of Tateki Software Development Company, he is my partner and friend, and he came to me to celebrate in advance because he has something important tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Ikekawa Na stood up and looked at the entrance of the villa like the other party.

If nothing else, the target is to take the bait, and probably that guy didn't expect the people of the organization to chase such a remote place.

He was also brought into the room by his friend without suspicion, and he was waiting for him in the living room.

He really wanted to see the look of the mouse that had been hiding for more than a month, thinking it was safe, but when he ran into the cat that captured him, he was stunned and didn't dare to show it directly in front of the others.

The maid opened the heavy door, and who knew that it was not the man who had come with his wife and children to visit his friends and hand over the information about the organization in his hand, but a middle-aged man in a gray suit with two mustaches who looked like he had just drunk a few days ago.

And...... The other party also has a very familiar face.

Nai Ikekawa, who was originally waiting for the target to come in:.

Suddenly I had a very, very, very bad premonition.

"I took the liberty to interrupt, I was despised, and here's the thing, we were driving past this mountain when we happened to have a blizzard and couldn't go down, and we saw this villa again. So I would like to ask if I can spend the night here? He rubbed his hands together and smiled sheepishly.

"You're the famous detective!" The puzzled expression on Yasuda Ichiro's face changed, and he happily welcomed a few people into the house, "It's not a secret, the little girl will hold an engagement banquet here tomorrow." ”

"We often have guests here who come to stay overnight because of the heavy snowfall, and over time there is a saying that receiving these people will accumulate blessings, so it seems that if you are here today, my daughter's engagement banquet will go smoothly! Everybody, please come in. ”

Maori Kogoro exaggerated his sigh, "Then I might as well be respectful, and my car is still on the road outside......"

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll have the outside door open so you can park in a safer parking lot." With that, the president quickly beckoned the maid to open the door at the entrance.

Another voice came from outside the door, and it seemed that it was also someone who was traveling with Maori Kogoro, "Then I'll go drive first, you guys go in first." ”

Listening to the president's words of good luck, Ikekawa Na turned her head to look at Mori Kogoro again, a little hesitant. br />

No, isn't it right for this guy to come?

How did he remember reading a report before that the probability of this chosen detective encountering a homicide was as high as 90 percent...?

But if it's just him today, it's okay, the homicide is much better than meeting the two people I've seen before, it shouldn't be ......

Before she could finish thinking about this, Ikekawa Na heard two voices that made her teeth sore.

"Then we'll bother—"

The long-haired girl and the bespectacled little boy in the back said in sync, and after saying that, they walked inside and quickly met the eyes of a man in a black kimono in the living room.

"Hey?!!"

Ikekawa's face was wooden.

Knowing that there would be such a follow-up event, he felt that he should have raised his chips a little higher at the winery! Who knew that a cooperation would extend so many other things, and he thought that he would never see each other again in his life.

No, why did you want Bourbon to be your temporary partner this time! But he didn't expect that he could collide with Maori Kogoro and his party in such a place!

"Oh, this house is really beautifully decorated." Mori Kogoro walked over under the leadership of Ichiro Yasuda, and was obviously stunned when he saw that there were still people in the house, "Is this your son?" ”

"It's not! Of course not! President Yasuda waved his hand in a panic, "This is Mr. Ikekawa Na, don't look at his young age, he has already taken over the Ikekawa chaebol a few years ago." ”

"It's really young and promising......" After following the other party's meaning, when Mori Kogoro turned his head, he soon saw a familiar figure with blonde hair and black skin next to the sofa, "Amuro?!" Why are you here?! ”

"Huh? Mr. Maori, do you know each other? The president was a little confused, and said, "This is the personal butler that Mr. Ikekawa brought. ”

"A personal butler? How did you get here to be a housekeeper...? You're not... Ahem! Uh-you-cough-"

The detective was puzzled, and before he could ask the sentence clearly, he felt his throat tighten

Mao Lilan suddenly put his arms around his neck from behind, and pressed the rest of the words back into his throat by violence.

Because of his too much strength, the person who was strangled was so suffocated that he even turned red.

Xiaolan! Out of breath - let go!!

Mori Kogoro struggled to ask for help from the boy who was narrating, and who knew that Edogawa Conan also waved his hand again and again at this moment, and answered, "I understand! Mr. Amuro is here to work part-time, right?! ”

"yes, I think it must be." Only then did Mao Lilan let go of the hand that was holding his father's neck and said with a smile, "After all, Mr. Amuro has a lot of part-time jobs!" ”

"Ahem——! Finally let go, the detective rubbed his neck and slowly stood up, his expression was in a trance, and his eyes were full of circles, "Yes, is that so......"

I almost looked like I was about to see heaven just now......

"Yes, because Mr. Ikekawa's old butler has to take care of the affairs of the family, and his eyes are not suitable for driving at night, so he temporarily applied for someone else to take on the position of butler."

Amuro explains, "I also happen to have worked in other places a lot, so I was a good fit for this job. ”

After he said this, he didn't know what the girl next to him thought, and quickly gave a 'I understand' look, and his face was flushed, "I'll just say that's it!" ”

Compared to Mao Lilan, who thought it was a young couple pretending to be a master and servant in order to get along more, Edogawa Conan frowned and thought more.

The first thing he noticed was that the two of them were wearing black clothes now, whether it was Ikekawa Na or Amuro Toru, they chose the kind with a large area of black in the choice of clothes.

Black, the first thing that comes to mind is the organization. Mr. Amuro rarely wears black on a daily basis.

Are they here to do organizational tasks... In this case, the young man named Ikekawa Na may be a member of the organization!

Edogawa Conan narrowed his eyes, looked at the man who was chatting with a few people with some vigilance, and carefully looked at the other party's current appearance.

It doesn't look like you're carrying a weapon, and this style of kimono isn't easy to move, but if it's a mission, it's likely to be the kind of mission that doesn't require easy movement, such as a trade...... However, black suits are very common......

Wait, did he have the neck ring around his neck before?

The bespectacled little detective was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up again, Ikekawa Na had already turned his head away because he was talking to the person next to him.

In this position, his clothes and black hair blocked the collar around his neck, but the green diamonds on the headband shone in the light.

It's familiar, this thing looks like I've seen it somewhere before......

He turned his head and looked at Toru Amuro, who had been a butler for little talking. On the tie on the man's chest, a tie clip with the same diamond was pinned.

Did the collar that someone else was going to give to Amuro have emeralds on it?

Conan Edogawa:.

Not really! If this is a mission, why are you doing so many bells and whistles on a mission?! And that collar, Mr. Amuro, isn't that really your personal interest? Is the other party really so cooperative?!

Adults with terrible interests......

The little detective's eyes were already in circles, and there were a hundred boys with glasses in his heart who were scratching their hair with their short legs and shouting, 'Are they real?', and after shouting, they started shouting, 'What kind of master-servant game are you doing here because of the task or the love?!' ’。

Can you make a clear distinction between public and private? You make me repeatedly struggle with whether the two of you are in a relationship or on a mission, is it really difficult to do it!

I didn't know what the little boy next to me was collapsing about, and being in the same space with two people who thought he and Bourbon were lovers, Ikekawa Nai only felt like a man's back.

He twitched the corners of his mouth to maintain his expression, chatted casually with the president opposite, and prepared to go back to the room later, and come out when the target returned.

Anyway, Enoch should have arrived around the villa by now, and even if Narihiko Tateki found out that something was wrong and wanted to run, he wouldn't be able to run out of this mountain.

He thought, but suddenly noticed a gaze falling on him.

Since having ABO's buff, he is very sensitive to some specific sights or emotions, and at the moment he only feels as if the sight has pierced through the barrier on his neck and burned directly on the back of his neck.

The inner alarm bell sounded, and Ikekawa Na subconsciously covered the back of her neck, and only breathed a sigh of relief when her palm touched the cold metal surface of the barrier.

Fortunately, there is this thing, just now I almost thought this thing was gone.

Why is it strange to be stared at the back of the neck, how can this thing look like a radar?

Lowering his hand, the black-haired man looked up to find the source of that gaze, but only saw a few maids busy in the room.

It's weird, and it doesn't look like a delusion......

"Sir, please go inside, inside is the living room." The maid's clear voice sounded outside, and she quickly brought a pink-haired man with her, who had just gone to the parking lot to park her car.

The moment he appeared, the atmosphere in the living room seemed to change suddenly, Ikekawa Na turned her head suspiciously, and saw that there was black air floating around Toru Amuro, who was smiling next to him, "... Do you know him? ”

"I've met a few times, and I'm a regular at the café." The blonde man replied quickly.

...... Looking at your expression, it doesn't look like you've met a few times, and you look like you have a grudge against each other.

"Sorry, I just went to park the car, and I was a little late." The man wore his eyes, took off his scarf as he spoke, revealing the high neck underneath, and had a gentle temperament, "The surname is Okiya, and I came with Mr. Kogoro Maori." ”

"Finally parked the car." Mori Kogoro came over with a big grin and patted the other party's shoulder, "This is Okiya Pleiades, a graduate student at Tokyo University." Let me introduce you to Mr. Ichiro Yasuda, and this is his house. ”

"Thank you for letting us stay overnight, Mr. Yasuda."

After a few people finished politely, the topic went around a few times, and finally fell on Ikekawa Na next to him.

"This is Na Ikekawa, is... In short, it's a powerful chaebol young master. ”

Ikekawa pursed her lips and reached out to hold the other party's outstretched hand, "Hello." ”

“....... Hello. ”

The other party paused, his original squinting eyes opened a little, and the light from his green eyes was slightly blocked by the lenses.

He slowly pronounced the other person's name, as if he had circled it between his lips and teeth, "Nice to meet you, Ikekawa Na...... Mr. ”

"I didn't expect to see Mr. Okiya here."

Amuro interjected with a smile in the back, "You know how to combine work and rest, and there are still a lot of courses and papers, do you come to this kind of place to relax on vacation?" ”

"I have to breathe in those things every day."

Okiya didn't hesitate, "But Mr. Amuro is still powerful." Did you hear that you are taking on other gig workers to subsidize the family? I heard Miss Xiaozi say, you have taken leave for the third time this week, and you are working very hard, right? ”

"Isn't it hard? I see ......"

Na Ikekawa: ......?

How did these two people talk?

He looked down at his hand that was still being held, and his expression was a little tangled.

Let's chat, let's chat, can you let go of my hand first!

As if hearing what he was thinking, Okiya quickly let go of his hand, but when he let go, his fingertips accidentally crossed his palm, causing a strange itch.

Ikekawa Na quietly rubbed the faintly itchy palm between her sleeves.

I always feel that this guy in front of me has an inexplicable sense of familiarity. ：，，.
