Nobuyuki Sugo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard 'Mouri Ran', a name that was obviously a girl's name. The boss's daughter was the key to his reaching the pinnacle of life, so naturally he couldn't let other guys get in touch with her.

"Have fun then, and I'll see you later."

"Phew, finally gone."

Asuna looked through the peephole, and after confirming that the other person had left, she muttered to herself:

"This annoying guy."

Asuna's arrival on this luxury cruise ship was arranged by her parents, who wanted her to familiarize herself with the family business and prepare for taking over the industry in the future.

Of course, he also wanted to find an opportunity to connect himself with Nobuyuki Sugo.

Asuna's parents naturally wouldn't say this, and it was something Asuna figured out later.

As for business, it is about the joint development and promotion of the large-scale virtual reality game "Sword Art Online" recently developed by the company and Yakumo House.

To be honest, a high school girl like Asuna, who is a rookie and has absolutely no business experience, has no chance of getting involved in such an important business negotiation.

In all the previous negotiations, she had been sitting next to her mother, watching her mother bargain with the person in charge of Yakumo House. The only thing she could do was to keep quiet and learn from them with a ladylike smile. To put it simply, she was as complex and beautiful as a flower.

If the person in charge of the Yakumo House was a man, it might be of some use, but the other party happened to be a mature and beautiful woman.

Asuna was deeply impressed by this.

Because the career women she had met before were either dressed in formal business suits or dressed like dignified ladies.

However, the person in charge of the Yakumo House is a black-haired woman wearing a strange armpit-exposed shrine maiden costume. Although this strange dress does not diminish the capable temperament she exudes, even her mother, who she thinks is the most powerful and capable, is overwhelmed by her momentum and negotiation skills during the bargaining.

Asuna couldn't help but admire the other party for this. She wished she could be as good as him.

What impressed Asuna the most was not these things, but that after every conversation, the other party would take out a cash box from some unknown corner.

The pious witch who claimed to serve the gods used all kinds of ridiculous words to persuade them to be kind and offer sacrifices to the gods.

It was like this every time, and not just them, but everyone near the scene was not spared. Under her powerful aura, those rich people who believed in money supremacy did not dare to say a word and obediently gave up their faith.

The change on Asuna's body had long been eaten up by the other party's cash box. It was hard for her not to remember the other party, after all, the other party was so independent.

Yes, if I remember correctly, the other person’s name should be Hakurei Furin.

"How wonderful it would be if all this was just a dream, and I could still meet you in my dreams..."

Asuna, dressed simply, picked up her phone, clamped it between her shoulder and forehead, and answered it.

"Hey--"

"Xiaolan? I'm almost out."

"Yeah, wait on the deck, right? Give me three minutes, I'll be there soon."

"That's it. Bye first."

Looking at herself in the mirror wearing a ladylike dress, Asuna thought it would be better to change into a different skirt. She heard that short skirts matched better with white stockings.

Although she was going to meet her lesbian friend, a woman's pursuit of beauty is not limited by occasion or time. She will do it when she thinks of it. This is a woman's nature.

As for whether it would take three minutes to change clothes, that was not something Asuna considered.

Her good friend Mao Lilan probably also knows that the time a woman promises to spend on getting ready to go out often needs to be multiplied by 10.

"hateful!!"

After several minutes of chasing, Theresa finally realized that the other party had deliberately left them aside. What made her even more angry was that the other party was a luxury cruise ship under the name of the Destiny Organization. This made Theresa feel embarrassed under the teasing gaze of Grandpa Mo Yi.

If they had their communicators with them, with just one phone call, Lord Lutuo would have transferred these colorless subordinates to Antarctica to herd penguins.

"Okay, don't be angry anymore."

Grandpa Mo Yi took advantage of Theresa's anger and pretended to casually pat her on the head, comforting her:

"After all, our presence was somewhat suspicious, so it's normal for them to avoid us. It's good that they didn't open fire directly."

It’s not that the high-tech wooden boat made by Grandpa Mo Yi can’t catch up with the luxury cruise ship, but how to get on it is also a problem.

You can't let Theresa carry Judas up, knock down the other side's security first, then borrow a phone to call Mr. Lu Tuo and do some urban pretentious plot of "I'm actually the granddaughter of the big boss, you guys look down on me".

As for Theresa's original luggage, which had been kept in Grandpa Mo Yi's personal space, Grandpa Mo Yi temporarily forgot about it.

"Humph--"

Theresa snorted in dissatisfaction, not sure if it was because of the cruise ship incident or the head-patting that was still wreaking havoc on her head.

But since the other party does not resist, it means they agree.

Grandpa Mo Yi is very familiar with this kind of experience. He has drawn many books about tsundere lolita.

"I have a special way of stealth. Why don't we sneak up first, and then you can find a way to contact someone and get us an official ride."

After hearing Grandpa Mo Yi's suggestion, Theresa nodded. This method sounded very reliable, but the other party was running all the time. Could she really sneak up on him and sneak in?

I was afraid that if I didn't get close to others, they would just open fire.

You know, on the high seas, it is reasonable for others to open fire to drive them away.

"It's time to show the true power of the 'Theresa'."

After saying that, Grandpa Mo Yi activated the membrane rune on the Theresa, and then a light blue magic shield wrapped around the wooden boat.

"This is?"

Theresa was still not surprised enough when the wooden boat suddenly dived underwater. The magic shield isolated the seawater. Theresa muttered to herself in surprise:

"Magic is truly amazing. It can do things that current science cannot."

Grandpa Mo Yi thought about it and decided not to correct the other party. This was membrane magic, not something inferior like magic.

Why are you making such a fuss just because of diving? If I tell them that the final cleric of Theresa is the ship that transforms into a ship girl named 'Theresa Moon Embrace' who looks exactly like her, wouldn't I lose the chance to keep this ship girl figure that I have been working on for several days and constantly patching it?

After the wooden boat entered stealth mode, the inspectors on the luxury cruise ship instantly lost their target object under various techniques. In their eyes, the wooden boat seemed to be overturned by the waves and suddenly sank. Even modern inspection devices such as radar and helium could not find any trace.

Although they were puzzled, they did not dwell on it for too long. There were so many strange things on the sea, such as sea monsters, Godzilla, Devil's Island, and ghost ships. They were simply endless. Anyway, it was fine as long as the other party disappeared.

——————The dividing line on the luxury cruise ship——————

"Conan, don't wander around, be careful not to get lost."

Ran Mouri, who had made an appointment with Asuna to wait on the deck, looked on worriedly, while Conan Edogawa was wandering around looking for suspicious people.

Conan Edogawa, whose real name is Kudo Shinichi, is a famous high school detective in District 11. He solved many cases at a young age and was even called the "savior of the District 11 police" and the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era."

However, he was discovered while following a suspicious group of men in black and was drugged. Although his good character improved and he did not lose anything, his body shrank to the size of a 7-year-old elementary school student.

As for why the Men in Black organization wanted to silence the witnesses, they didn't just beat them to death with a brick or dump them in the river with cement, but instead chose the latest poison to kill them. Some even walked away after feeding them the poison before confirming whether they were dead or not. This series of outrageous moves probably reflects the style of the Men in Black organization. How can they silence the witnesses without any artistic sense? Instead of just hitting them with a brick, they would of course use the expensive poison that was developed with great difficulty.

As for leaving before making sure the other party was dead, it was because they were confident in the poison they developed. Just like a real man would never look back at an explosion, a villain certainly does not need to look back to check whether the victim is dead or not when he kills to silence him.

In short, Kudo Shinichi, who survived the disaster, had an affair with the Black Organization, but because his body became smaller, he could only use the pseudonym Edogawa Conan and live in the home of his childhood sweetheart and future girlfriend Mouri Ran.

Of course, Mao Lilan never knew that the Edogawa Conan who was staying in her house and whom she treated as her younger brother was her childhood sweetheart Kudo Shinichi.

Against this backdrop, Conan Edogawa lives a life where he encounters a murder case every day, and his long-term goal is to track down the Men in Black organization and find an antidote.

Therefore, he is also known as the strongest elementary school student in history, with the ability of causality - wherever he goes, he dies, and is also honored as the 'Death God Elementary School Student'.

Light Yagami and the like are far inferior to him. If you make Conan angry, he will just follow you every day. Unless you are an important character who is loved by the world and cannot die before completing the historical mission, otherwise, with his ability of "die wherever you go", one day you will die under such a causal attack.

This luxury cruise trip was also because it was discovered not long ago that the Men in Black organization was about to appear on this cruise ship and had an unknown conspiracy.

In order to track the man in black, Conan made some arrangements and finally boarded this luxury cruise ship.

Coincidentally, the fact that he took leave to go on the cruise was discovered by Mao Li Ran. After a series of coincidences, Mao Li Ran and Mao Li Ran's father Mao Li Kogoro also embarked on a journey of unknown circumstances.

"Um--"

Conan Edogawa responded to Ran Mouri in a bad mood. He was really helpless about the fact that the other party always treated him like an elementary school student, but he couldn't refuse Ran Mouri's concern.

After turning his head, he continued:

"Sister, I saw Uncle Maori. I'll go find him so I won't disturb you and your friends from playing."

After saying that, he slipped away without giving Mao Lilan a chance to refuse.

"Conan——"

Seeing that the other party slipped away so quickly, Mao Lilan had to give up. Although she was a little worried, Conan was indeed the smartest and most alert child she had ever seen. With his father, there should be no problem.

"You came."

Haibara Ai, a former member of the Men in Black Organization who also took poison and shared the same fate with Conan, looked at Conan with some dissatisfaction when he finally came to meet her.

Haibara Ai betrayed the Black Organization because her sister was killed. By chance, she was taken in by Conan and they lived a thrilling elementary school life together.

Detective Conan has more than a thousand episodes, and almost one person dies in every episode. How can the life of an elementary school student not be tense and exciting?

The two are the teammates who know each other best, and their common target is the Men in Black Organization, so this time they tracked it down to the cruise ship together.

"Um--"

With no one around, Conan finally stopped playing the role of a primary school student and resumed his serious and cool appearance as a boy, asking:

"Did you gather any useful information?"

"I think I found their target."

Although Haibara Ai's tone was calm, it faintly revealed a hint of fear and hatred.

"Have you heard of the Destiny Organization?"

Although Conan is a famous detective in Area 11, has solved countless major cases, and knows hundreds of ways to kill people in a locked room, he is ultimately just an ordinary person, at most a smart ordinary person. Naturally, he has no access to the mysterious and scientific truths hidden deep in human society.

After thinking about it for a while and finding no recollection, Conan shook his head and guessed:

"Could it be that the name of the black organization we've been pursuing is Tianming? What an arrogant name."

"Ah--"

Huiyuan Ai sneered and said:

"You think too much."

"How can the Men in Black, who at best bully ordinary people like rats, possibly compare to the Destiny Organization? It's fair to say they don't even qualify to be compared to them."

"Ok?"

Now, Conan also became curious. Although the other party denied it, Conan always knew that the other party was still afraid of the Men in Black Organization in his heart. But now his tone was very wrong, and there must be a big story behind it.

Seeing Conan's curious expression, Haibara Ai thought about it and decided to tell him the truth about the world.

This world is actually not what ordinary people think it is. Things like magic, super powers, black technology, and the end of the world exist at any time and place.

There are two forces, scientific and mysterious, that secretly manipulate the world and confront each other.

Among them, the Destiny Organization is the main force on the scientific side. Although they represent the scientific side, the technology and power they possess are no different from the magic and superpowers in the movies in front of ordinary people.

“Uh(⊙o⊙)…”

Conan suddenly heard such an unbelievable thing, that no one even said anything on April Fool's Day. He always prided himself on being smart, but his brain was confused for a while.

In fact, it is easy to understand. He once used a football to blow up a missile. Because the situation was urgent and he did it himself, he didn't think much about it. If others saw such a thing, they would also complain loudly that it was unscientific.

"Just give me a minute to be quiet..."

One minute later——

"All right."

After calming down, Conan could only accept the new worldview because he believed in Haibara Ai and believed that she would not joke with him about such things.

Anyway, he has lived for so many years and has never seen people fighting with magic or superpowers on the street. So what does it have to do with him whether there is mysterious power in this world?

All he had to do was to continue to fight against the Men in Black, an ordinary terrorist organization that still used guns and poisons. He could let the big guys worry about superpowers and magic.

"So what does our current situation have to do with the Destiny Organization?"

"Dark forces like the Destiny Organization have infiltrated every corner of the world. For example, the luxury cruise ship we're on is one of the Destiny Organization's assets."

"More importantly, the Men in Black's target this time is precisely something that is being transported on this cruise ship."

Conan: "What?"

"If the Destiny Organization is really as terrifying as you say, how could the Men in Black risk offending it?"

"Conan, you don't have to think of the Men in Black as being so terrifying. After all, they're no different from me. They control and drive me. If I don't obey, they'll hunt me down. In this world filled with mysterious forces, the Men in Black are just ordinary people, driven by the powers above them. If I don't obey their orders, what difference will my fate make?"
