Chapter 373 There's a mole, the meal is cancelled.
……
Twenty minutes later, the two reappeared at the entrance of the base, and Ai Haibara had already washed up and changed into new clothes.
She finally had a chance to look around and immediately recognized where she was.
The initial feelings of shame and indignation had dissipated, and Ai Haibara seemed to have thought of something, looking at Qi Ming with a somewhat uneasy expression.
"You're not planning to leave, are you?"
"Ok?"
Qi Ming looked at Ai Haibara with some confusion.
Where should I go?
"go back."
Ai Haibara still remembered Qi Ming's final mission to her: as long as he brought her back to the organization, he would be able to escape from this world and return.
So, is this the reason Qi Ming brought himself to the organization's base?
Qi Ming was taken aback upon hearing this, and then pounded his hands in surprise.
"Oh, I remember now, there was such a mission."
Ai Haibara's eyes remained fixed on Qi Ming, and surprisingly, she didn't make any comments at this moment.
"Um……"
Qi Ming looked Ai Haibara up and down, then stroked his chin with a somewhat conflicted expression and said:
"I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. Now that you've brought it up, I'm actually starting to think about leaving."
"..."
Why would you forget something so important?
Ai Haibara didn't say anything, but took a few steps forward and grasped Qi Ming's hand.
"...Don't leave so soon, okay? At least tell me in advance if you really want to."
Hearing Ai Haibara's soft, sweet voice, Qi Ming stopped his antics and squatted down to rub Ai Haibara's head.
"Alright, I was just kidding."
"Anyway, it's been so long, I'll wait until I've finished watching the final ending before I leave."
Ai Haibara looked up and saw Qi Ming's serious gaze, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not let go of Qi Ming's hand.
Perhaps having calmed down, Ai Haibara realized that what she had just said was somewhat embarrassing, and she quickly changed the subject.
"Going back to what we were talking about earlier, why did you go and rob a bank, and why did you bring an idiot with you?"
Upon hearing Ai Haibara's words, Qi Ming retorted in an annoyed manner.
"Don't you dare insult my good brother, Carlsberg is great too!"
"……Row."
Ai Haibara rolled her eyes at Qi Ming and continued to ask:
"And what is this NBT you mentioned back then? Do we, no, does your organization still have subgroups now?"
"It's not a grouping."
Qi Ming shook his head and explained to Ai Haibara what he had done that day.
Anyway, I'll definitely make this little girl my secretary once she recovers, so it's better to tell her these things sooner rather than later.
"In short, NBT is our current organization name, and Karasuma Renya has officially handed the organization over to me."
After hearing the explanation of all the directions for the organization's future development, Ai Haibara felt a pang of sadness, even though she hated the organization.
Although the previous organizations were equally bad, they always had a lofty ideal.
But now?
He turned into a complete villain.
"So what are we doing here now?"
"Organizing a get-together."
"Oh, a get-together...a get-together?"
Ai Haibara always felt like she was hallucinating.
Dinner?
Is it a dinner party like a company gathering or a get-together with friends?
"Oh look, they're here."
Seeing several figures emerge from the base gate, Qi Ming waved.
Ai Haibara also turned her head and saw several people dressed in black walking towards them.
Kaito Kuroba, Gin, Vermouth, Chianti, and Korn.
Although Kaito Kuroba is still wearing a school uniform, the dark blue color is somewhat similar to black.
"We can only call on a few people right now. The others have their own things to take care of due to the organizational changes."
Vermouth glanced at Ai Haibara before reporting to Qi Ming.
"Vodka drove off and will be here soon."
Qi Ming wasn't annoyed to see so many people coming.
"Taking care of our own business is the priority; if they don't come, so be it."
"..."
Ai Haibara feels like her head is buzzing right now.
So she was practically immune to these people in the organization, but the thought that she was going to have dinner with Vermouth and the others still made her feel a little absurd.
"Little sister, we meet again?"
Upon seeing Ai Haibara, Chianti knelt down in front of her and smiled.
After scrutinizing Ai Haibara for a while, Chianti turned to look at Gin, her smile vanishing instantly.
"Thinking about it now, that guy was really outrageous. He actually believed that Sherry had turned into such a little girl."
"..."
Hearing Chianti's sarcastic remarks, Gin remained silent, only pulling his hat brim down repeatedly.
Ai Haibara was also taken aback by Chianti's words.
She looked up at Qi Ming with a confused expression, and seeing the latter shrug, she hesitated for a moment before looking at Vermouth.
Vermouth noticed the look Ai Haibara was giving her. Although she didn't say anything, she gently tapped her watch.
After a moment of confusion, Ai Haibara understood what Vermouth meant.
This information was leaked by an undercover agent.
Hmm... It must have been that bastard Shuichi Akai who did it!
drip-
As soon as the two horns sounded, Vodka drove his stretch Lincoln out of the base.
Upon seeing this, Qi Ming immediately waved his hand and said.
"Get in the car, this is our first NBT get-together, everyone be alert."
"oh oh!"
After that sentence, only Chianti responded.
Qi Ming's expression immediately darkened.
"What's wrong with you guys? Why are you showing me no respect?"
"..."
Gin took a deep breath, but he wasn't in the mood to shout excitedly like Chianti. He simply raised his hand and clapped instead, and the others followed suit.
Ai Haibara stared in disbelief at the scene before her, then silently took out her phone from her pocket and snapped a picture.
……
Half an hour later, the black stretch Lincoln drove out of the city and along a mountain road to a lake.
After the vehicle drove a little further, everyone saw a European-style house by the lake.
After Vodka parked his car in the makeshift parking lot next to the house, everyone else got out of the car.
There were still quite a few cars parked in the parking lot, so it was estimated that it would be quite a long wait before it was their turn.
But Qi Ming was right. If they were to draw their guns, they wouldn't need to wait at all; they could eat right away.
"Teacher Bei, you have quite the refined taste. Eating in the mountains is perfectly fine."
Qi Ming walked to the lakeside in a few steps, picked up a stone, and skipped it across the water.
However, the stone only bounced once on the water's surface before flying far away and disappearing without a trace.
Seeing Qi Ming's actions, Chianti felt a playful urge and stepped forward.
Vermouth glanced at Gin, Vodka, and Cohen, who were also engrossed in admiring the scenery by the lake, and a sense of unease rose within her.
Who would have thought that one day the organization members would gather together not to do tasks or hold meetings, but simply to have a meal...
"Have you ever had such a peaceful time during your time in the organization?"
Hearing Ai Haibara's soft whisper, Vermouth glanced at the little girl beside her, covered her mouth, and yawned.
"At least compared to you, my days in the organization were much more peaceful."
Although Vermouth no longer intends to harm Ai Haibara, it's not bad to annoy her when she's bored.
Before, people blamed Ai Haibara's parents for developing that terrible medicine; now they blame Ai Haibara's guardian for constantly criticizing her.
Ai Haibara rolled her eyes at Vermouth, then put her hands behind her back and looked at the lakeside scenery.
Kaito Kuroba and everyone in the organization enjoy the beauty that nature brings.
However, this tranquility did not last long. Birds took flight from the mountains, and police sirens rang in everyone's ears.
Ula ura—
Upon hearing the voice, Gin reflexively pulled a gun from his pocket and pointed it at Vermouth, as if he had an allergic reaction.
There's a mole inside! Stop eating!
"Was it you who called the police?!"
Vermouth: ?
