Chapter 264: Ending under the full moon, Yuya talks to Vermouth
Vermouth said coldly: "You seem to be overthinking."
"Oh, really?" Yuya ignored the gun on his head and said slowly, "During the bus hijacking incident, when Conan was in danger from the criminals, you were the first one to come out to protect him, and you kept an eye on him the whole time, as if you were afraid that he would get hurt."
"Just now, when I told you that Xiaolan was in danger, you didn't even bother chasing me. All you could think about was her safety."
"For a stranger, this kind of concern seems a bit too much."
"Of course, if I really am overthinking it, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
Vermouth fell silent. Was she being so obvious?
"What about you?" she suddenly asked, "You clearly had the chance to kill me just now, so why did you only hit my shoulder? You should be able to guess that I was wearing a bulletproof vest, right?"
What Vermouth was talking about was that when the two of them were circling just now, Yuya went around from behind and attacked them.
At that time, Yuya only aimed at the shoulder. If he had aimed at the head, it would have been useless even if Vermouth wore more bulletproof vests.
"I think that we don't have to be hostile to each other, to some extent." Youye said slowly.
Belmode sneered: "Why, do you want to turn me against you?"
Yuya couldn't help but laugh: "How is that possible? I'm not that naive."
Vermouth has always only paid special attention to Conan and Mao Lilan, but she is ruthless to others.
Vermouth was a little confused: "You don't seem afraid that I will kill you?"
Yuya looked ahead and suddenly asked, "Do you know what the legal age for marriage is in Japan?"
Vermouth was stunned for a moment, and answered subconsciously: "18 for men and 16 for women. Why are you asking this?"
Yuya showed a look of realization: "Oh, then isn't Xiaolan old enough? But Shinichi seems to be one year short?"
Vermouth was a little confused about Yuya's thoughts: "What do you mean?"
Youya glanced at her and said calmly, "Have you ever thought about attending their wedding?"
Vermouth's pupils trembled violently. She had never thought about such a... ridiculous thing.
He suddenly laughed again: "What's so difficult about this kind of thing? As long as I..."
"Just pretend to be someone, right?" Yuya interrupted, "What's the point? It's not you anyway."
Vermouth fell silent. She knew it too, but what could she do?
"This is such a ridiculous thing..."
"You think it's unimportant?" Youya interrupted Vermouth calmly.
Vermouth fell silent again.
Not important? How could it not be important? She might not be able to have such an experience in her life, but her angel and cool guy could!
It would have been fine if she hadn't thought about it before, but now that Yu had brought it up, even Vermouth couldn't help but imagine that scene.
Going a step further, if she could attend in her true identity and send them her blessings, that would surely be great, right?
But how could such a thing be possible?
Vermouth couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect that I would be moved by such a ridiculous statement."
"Or do you think that saying these will prevent me from killing you?"
Yuya smiled faintly: "You can't kill me."
"Oh? Do you want to try it?"
"Sure, let's try..."
Vermouth's eyes suddenly blurred, and when she saw clearly, the gun in her hand had already fallen into Yuya's hand and was pressing tightly against her forehead.
“... Let’s try it.”
"Click!" The trigger was pulled.
Vermouth's pupils subconsciously shrank into a small dot, so quickly that she had no time to react!
What shocked her even more was that there was no bullet in the gun? !
"Do you believe it now?" Youya glanced at Vermouth indifferently.
Vermouth's pupils trembled: "When..."
Yuya said slowly: "When the flash bomb exploded, you also blocked your vision for a moment, right?"
Vermouth was stunned. In just such a short time?
This young man actually emptied the bullets in the gun in such a short time?
"Did you let yourself be caught by me on purpose?" Vermouth couldn't believe it, her voice a little hoarse.
Just how far has this young man gone in his calculations?
"I guess so." Youye shrugged.
Vermouth glanced at the revolver in her other hand. She suddenly felt a little lack of confidence. She didn’t react at all to Yuya’s action just now. If she succeeded once, would it be difficult the second time?
This revolver might be snatched away by him before I even aim it?
With her severely injured body now, she couldn't fight against this young man at all.
He might be even scarier than Shuichi Akai!
Vermouth sighed and resigned herself to her fate by putting away her revolver.
Youya noticed her actions and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
First, he appealed to Vermouth's emotions and used some beautiful images to arouse Vermouth's expectations for the future. Then, he unexpectedly displayed powerful strength, using one soft and one hard method to successfully dispel Vermouth's idea of taking action.
He knew that Vermouth no longer had any intention of killing him.
"Who are you?" Vermouth looked at Yuya deeply.
Yuya looked ahead with deep eyes and said slowly: "Kamiya Yuya is a detective."
"Detective..." Vermouth was stunned, and in a trance, the figure of a young man appeared before her.
"My name is Kudo Shinichi, and I'm a detective."
The boy's figure blurred and turned into a child again.
"Edogawa Conan is a detective."
The child's figure changed again and turned into the young man in front of him.
"Kamiya Yuya is a detective."
The three figures blurred and turned into one person.
"We...are detectives."
Vermouth lowered her head with a bitter smile on her face.
“You guys...are so alike..."
Yuya looked at Vermouth with some confusion, but she lowered her head so she couldn't see her expression and could only respond vaguely.
Vermouth suddenly raised his head again and said slowly: "I lost today."
"You will never win from the beginning." Yuya said calmly, "Because tonight's plan was made by Conan and I, and there are many people helping us, but you are alone... Oh no, there is also Bourbon."
"But that Bourbon seems to have abandoned you and ran away alone."
Vermouth was silent for a moment, then asked, "Isn't Akai Shuichi here?"
Youye shook his head: "No, tonight he is just a thug at best."
“I see,” Vermouth suddenly smiled with relief, “If that’s the case, then I have no complaints.”
Yuya glanced at Vermouth, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Vermouth smiled slightly: "I know what you want to say. Since I lost today, I will not attack Shirley for the time being, and I will not report this matter to the organization."
"For now?" Youya raised an eyebrow.
"For now." Vermouth said coldly, "The hatred between her and me is not so easy to eliminate."
Yuya chuckled, "That's enough. You won't stand a chance."
That's good. He is really not good at talking, and he doesn't have as big a halo as Conan in Belmore's eyes. If she still doesn't want to let go, he can only take action.
Given Vermouth's current condition, he had enough confidence to keep her at a very small cost.
Vermouth was silent for a moment, then said, "Stop the car."
Yuya was stunned for a moment and stepped on the brakes.
"Get out of the car." Vermouth said coldly.
Youya got out of the car obediently.
Vermouth moved to the driver's seat, glanced at Yuya outside the car, and slowly said: "Keep an eye on your girlfriend, don't let me get the chance..."
After saying that, he slammed on the brakes and sped away.
Youya looked at the taillights of the car going away and breathed a long sigh of relief.
In the car, Vermouth looked at Kamiya Yuya who was gradually disappearing in the rearview mirror, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Kamiya Yuya... I'm starting to be interested in you."
