No...
No no no no no no no!!!
If it ends up like this, I can’t resist at all, I can’t stop at all──!
Vermouth let out an unnatural, whimpering sound.
She now looked completely stripped of her usual elegance, not even caring to maintain her image. This unprecedented sweetness was far beyond what anyone could imagine...
This was definitely not normal.
It can’t be like this.
Normal situations would never be like this!
The sweetness was so overpowering that even a woman like her felt as if her brain was about to lt, and her rational mind trembled uncontrollably.
From her crimson lips, she begged for rcy — practically pleading.
Her appearance was far more outrageous than Hayashi Yoshiki had imagined. This scene even made him laugh silently:
"It’s so embarrassing, Miss Vermouth... If Calvados knew you were like this, he’d be dead."
"What on earth did you... do?"
"? I don’t think I did anything except the beginning, right?"
...!
After those light words fell, Vermouth’s expression froze.
Tears smudged her eye makeup, and she wore a stunned look. She turned back tremblingly, and after seeing everything clearly, her gaze wavered before she forced a sowhat ugly smile.
Yes, Cointreau did nothing.
He simply sat there in the most convenient position for himself...
Vermouth did all of this by herself, begging for rcy in an extrely shaful manner.
Even though Vermouth usually had little sense of sha, she still wanted to find a hole to crawl into at this mont — as a person of high status, Vermouth, who was accustod to teasing others, seed to possess extraordinary pride. But now, that so-called pride was fragile and cheap.
Hayashi Yoshiki glanced down at the ring on his hand.
I didn’t expect to be able to do this...
He had just tried it on a whim, yet the effect was astonishingly strong.
After all, it was sothing that could instantly drag people into an illusion.
"It’s still early."
"I wonder if Miss Vermouth has ever participated in a marathon?"
"I participated once before, but I didn’t want to attract too much attention, so I left with five kiloters remaining... At that ti, I was in good shape and could have run twice as far."
Hayashi Yoshiki’s voice beca very gentle.
That was how he usually spoke. There was always clarity in his kind eyes, and his bright expression made people feel genuinely close to him.
What did that an?
Was he showing off his physical strength?
Vermouth was even a little distracted from his words as Hayashi Yoshiki stood up.
He smiled and gently embraced Vermouth.

After that,
Hayashi Yoshiki found a computer disconnected from the internet and reviewed the data Seiran Hoshi had copied.
Winery spy Masaaki Okakura was not on the full list. It did not include himself. There were a total of twenty-three nas.
So of these spies had beco secretaries to mbers of parliant, so lurked in hospitals, and so controlled the dia’s mouthpieces...
But no spies were working for the police or public security agencies on the list.
Hayashi Yoshiki felt a little disappointed with the result — but not too much.
After all, all this information was related to the winery. Even if it seed useless now, who knew when it might co in handy?
At that mont, the phone rang and he answered.
"Hello? What’s up, Yoko?"
"Yashu-kun~ Hey, there’s sothing I want to discuss with you."
Yoko Okino’s sweet voice ca from the other end of the line.
Hayashi Yoshiki closed the computer, stood up, and walked to the balcony to open the curtains:
"Sure, what’s the matter?"
"My friend said she’s been dealing with so pranks lately and wants a detective’s help... I was wondering if I could ask Uncle Mori to help?"
"Uncle Mori?"
Hayashi Yoshiki was a little surprised, "Aren’t you asking to help?"
"That’s because... um, hehe~"
I can’t say my friend is a beautiful hostess, and I’d feel bad.
Yoko Okino smiled and changed the subject:
"I’ll tell you the reason later, Yoshiki-kun. I’ll ask Uncle Mori, and he should be able to do it, right?"
"If it’s Uncle Mori, he probably won’t refuse. But Yoko, you can just have your agent contact him."
"But if I don’t tell Yoshiki-kun about this, I’m afraid you’ll think I’m deliberately avoiding you."
"...Thank you, Yoko."
Hayashi Yoshiki was actually quite happy to hear her say that.
Yoko Okino smiled sweetly over there.
"But Yoko, you’ve been too busy lately, haven’t you? Recording shows and filming dramas. Don’t overwork yourself."
"I know, but the script for this drama is really good. Yoshiki-kun thinks so too... so I have to work hard."
"Then make sure to rest."
They talked on the phone for a while before hanging up.
Yoko’s friend and her mischief...
Hayashi Yoshiki thought of Rena Mizunashi.
It seed that since Rena Mizunashi, the winery had gradually beco a watering hole, and the code-nad mbers that appeared afterward were either undercover agents, traitors, or just garbage.
So, was there anything useful in this incident?
Hayashi Yoshiki thought carefully.
The incident involving Rena Mizunashi was essentially another confrontation between the FBI and the winery, and it also laid the groundwork for Conan’s subsequent cooperation with the FBI.
However, Hayashi Yoshiki recalled what Gin had said before:
"Rum is only good at dealing with the FBI."
In addition, there was so information from Vermouth...
All these clues indicated that Rum had soone inside the FBI — and his position was not low.
In this case, Hayashi Yoshiki must be very cautious if he encounters the FBI.
After piecing together these thoughts, Hayashi Yoshiki took the phone and called Uncle Mori Kogoro.
"Uncle Mori, it’s . Are you resting?"
"Ah? Yoshiki? Ha—ah, what’s the matter?" A yawning sound ca from the other side.
"Yoko asked to call and see if you’re free to participate in her show ’Yoko’s Four Minute Kitchen’ tomorrow."
"Yoko’s Four Minute Kitchen? What!? You’re inviting ? Is this true?!"
"Fake."
"Fake!?"
Mori Kogoro, who had already jumped up excitedly, imdiately frowned at the answer. He said angrily:
"You called just to tease , didn’t you!?"
"Haha, because I’m the one participating in that show, but Yoko has reserved so seats for the recording. Want to co?"
"Go! Of course, I’m going!"
