Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

To Vodka's astonishment, the bartender's head was pierced by an ice pick, turning him into a human skin mask with a wig.

"Vermouth?!"

Upon seeing the male bartender reveal his true form, Gin's pupils contracted slightly, and he put down the ice pick in his hand.

Gin initially thought the male bartender was an FBI agent or a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, which is why he was so ruthless when he attacked.

I never expected it to be Vermouth, that woman who loves to play pranks. In that case, there's no need to take any further action.

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously!"

Vermouth tossed her long, fluffy blonde hair and said in a somewhat playful tone, "That expression of yours is really scary. You're not thinking of eating me, are you?"

"Humph!"

Gin snorted in displeasure at Vermouth's teasing and sat back down in his seat.

Seeing Gin's displeased expression, Vermouth smiled and said, "I was just teasing you because I saw someone drooling over the singer's good looks!"

"Is...is this really okay?"

Vodka glanced around instinctively, and seeing that no paparazzi were following or taking pictures, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but whisper, "Isn't it inappropriate for a famous female celebrity like you to be seen with us?"

"Don't worry! I've already shaken off those annoying paparazzi."

Vermouth waved her hand with a smile and said, "As for the other guests here, their attention is all drawn to that beautiful singer, and no one will notice what's going on in this corner."

Gin lit another cigarette and said, "Getting back to the point, have you found what I asked you to find?"

"Well? To be honest, we haven't found the right person yet!"

Vermouth shook her head first, then leaned closer to Gin and asked, "By the way, did you find the kitten that ran away earlier?"

"Not yet, but I will definitely find her."

Gin sneered, "My nose is always most sensitive to the smell of traitors. I'll make sure she knows what terror is!"

"Then I'll be waiting to see!"

……

Saturday was sunny.

Led by Professor Agasa, Suzuki Haruaki and his friends took a bus to the ski resort near Beika Town.

The reason Inoue Ryuichi wasn't allowed to drive his van was because Suzuki Seimei's van had been sent for maintenance and repairs.

Inoue Ryuichi originally planned to bring a spare nanny van, but Suzuki Seimei refused.

Since Suzuki Seimei came to this world, he has been chauffeured around every day and has never ridden a public bus in this world. Occasionally experiencing the life of an ordinary person is quite interesting.

Therefore, under Suzuki Seimei's insistence, Inoue Ryuichi reluctantly obeyed his orders, abandoned the idea of ​​driving the spare nanny van, and took them onto the bus.

The bus was crowded, and to prevent Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai from being accidentally jostled by other passengers, Inoue Ryuichi and Kurosaki Tamaka took them to two seats near the back.

"Cough cough cough..."

Upon seeing Professor Agasa wearing a mask and coughing incessantly, Conan couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Professor, are you really capable of coming skiing with us looking like this?"

"It's fine!"

Professor Agasa forced a smile and waved his hand, saying, "It's just a minor cold, I know what I'm doing."

"Doctor, you can't do this!"

Ayumi raised her little head and said, "When we get to the ski resort, I think it would be better if you stayed in the house and slept quietly."

"That's right!"

Mitsuhiko, sitting in the front row, nodded, turned to Professor Agasa, and said, "People say you have to be most careful when you first catch a cold!"

Genta quickly added, "You can't sneak out, okay?"

"..."

Hearing the children's words, Dr. Agasa was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Ai Haibara shook her head with amusement and said, "Now I really don't know who the child is."

"Doctor, don't worry!"

Kurosaki Tamaka smiled and comforted her, "I'll help look after these children later, so you can rest easy."

"Then I really have to trouble you, Tamaka." Professor Agasa smiled somewhat embarrassedly upon hearing this.

The idea of ​​taking the children skiing was originally proposed by Professor Agasa, but last night while he was watching skiing videos and practicing his skiing techniques, he accidentally caught a cold.

In order not to disappoint the children, Dr. Agasa had no choice but to muster his spirits and take them skiing.

However, Professor Agasa, who had a cold, was indeed not in good spirits, so he didn't even drive his own Beetle, but instead took Suzuki Seimei and the others on a bus.

Seeing Professor Agasa's listless appearance, Suzuki Haruaki thought to himself, "It seems that when we get to the ski resort, I'll have to prepare a cocktail for the professor to help him regain his strength."

Currently, Suzuki Seimei possesses two items that can help people restore their strength: [Mother's Food Box] and [Magic Wine Jar].

Among them, "Mom's Food Box" only requires two points of mental energy to summon a cup of milk coffee, which can restore four points of stamina to the drinker.

The [Magic Jar] only requires two points of mental energy to summon a cocktail that can restore stamina.

This cocktail not only restores four points of stamina to the drinker, but also provides minor healing for injuries, making it a better value than milk coffee.

Once Professor Agasa has regained his strength, Suzuki Seimei can give him his own specially developed cold medicine to help him recover quickly.

do not forget!

Suzuki Seimei also possessed the basic skill of "Potion Concoction." Although it wasn't enough to concoct potions with miraculous effects, concocting a potion that could quickly cure a cold was a piece of cake.

Whether it's a mild or severe cold, as long as you take the magic potion prepared by Suzuki Seimei, you'll be cured in no more than half an hour.

While these cold remedies may not be as valuable as those that cure terminal illnesses, they have a very wide appeal.

With billions of people worldwide, almost everyone gets a cold a few times a year. Even if only half of them buy these cold medicines, it would be enough for Suzuki Seimei to make a fortune.

Unfortunately, the potions concocted by Suzuki Seimei not only require the ingredients used in normal medicines, but also often consume a certain amount of mental energy during the concoction process, making mass production impossible.

Otherwise, Seimei Suzuki could have easily acquired another pharmaceutical company and then mass-produced these effective cold medicines.

It feels like losing tens of billions of dollars all at once, it's truly heartbreaking!

"Next stop: Beika Park Station. Passengers who wish to get off, please prepare in advance."

As the bus announcement sounded, the bus slowly pulled up near the bus stop at Mihana Park.

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

When Suzuki Haruaki subconsciously looked towards the bus door, his eyes suddenly widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Of the seven passengers who had just boarded the bus, four of them had the words "Check-in Available" floating above their heads.

Besides the four passengers who met the check-in criteria, two other passengers turned out to be old acquaintances of Suzuki Haruaki.

One of them is Vermouth, who is disguised as Dr. Araide, and the other is Ms. Jodie, whom we met at the game center last time.

While two passengers who met the sign-in requirements were walking towards the back of the bus, Suzuki Haruaki secretly reached out and touched their thighs.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Akai Shuichi. You are rewarded with a Master-level 'Fire Precision' manual, which you can claim at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Shirakawa Kuriko. You are rewarded with 1 speed point, which you can claim at any time."

Upon hearing the system notifications ringing in his ears, Suzuki Seimei's expression changed drastically.

As for Shirakawa Kuriko, well, just from her name you know she's definitely a minor character.

But Shuichi Akai is different. Although he is a scumbag, he is also an FBI ace agent with formidable strength.

In fact, Suzuki Haruka should have been able to recognize an important supporting character like Shuichi Akai immediately.

However, at this moment, Shuichi Akai was not only wearing a blue knitted hat, but also a thick ski coat, and he was also wearing a mask. It would be a miracle if Seimei Suzuki could recognize him at first glance!

Upon seeing Conan, Dr. Araide's eyes flashed with tenderness as he greeted him with a smile, "Conan, you're here too?"

"Yes! Professor Agasa is taking us to the ski resort today."

Conan smiled and nodded, then glanced curiously at Jodie, who was following closely behind Dr. Araide, and asked, "Dr. Araide, are you and Ms. Jodie on a date?"

"That's right!"

Before Araide could answer, Professor Judy interjected, "Professor Araide and I are going on a date to the Ueno Museum of Art today!"

"No, we just happened to meet at the station."

Dr. Araide offered a somewhat helpless explanation and then naturally sat down in the seat in front of Conan.

Ms. Judy put her hands on her hips and said, feigning displeasure, "Really, how could you let a girl lose face in front of so many people?"

"I'm...I'm sorry."

Seeing Ms. Judy's displeasure, Ms. Shinichi quickly waved her hand and explained, "I'm worried that some rumors might accidentally spread in the school, which wouldn't be good for either of us."

"That's true, that's not a good idea."

Despite saying that, Ms. Judy still sat down next to Dr. Shinichi.

"Ok?"

Just as Suzuki Seimei was curiously observing the other two passengers who met the check-in criteria, he suddenly felt Haibara Ai grip his hand tightly.

Seeing Ai Haibara with her head down and her delicate body trembling slightly, Seimei Suzuki asked with some concern, "Ai, what's wrong?"

"I...I'm fine."

Ai Haibara's pupils contracted slightly, and she replied in a voice barely audible.

Seimei Suzuki stared at Ai Haibara for a while, then turned to look at Dr. Araide, who was chatting with Jodie-sensei, and suddenly understood why she had become so nervous.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here~"

Suzuki Seimei quickly reached out his small hand and touched Ai Haibara's hair, gently comforting her.

If Suzuki Seimei is not mistaken, it must be that Ai Haibara's "sensory radar" has taken effect on the Black Organization members.

In the original story, Ai Haibara has demonstrated a sixth sense-like perception ability on several occasions.
