i treat myself with ice pack as Okino and Eri sit on the kitchen table.
Okino feel so awkward as she wake up Eri with her scream and she even masturbate using our intercourse as reference.
"Miss Okino, do you have comission to my husband ?"
".... ah yes, yes" Okino was completely anxious and panic, she cannot gather her rational now.
"What comission ?"
"My duet, Arashi....." Eri tilt her head and gasp.
"Oh your duet with him ? his voice is beautiful, i can't forget how majestic his vocal range was" Okino laugh awkwardly while peeking on me who currently sitting, ice on my cheek and on my own world.
"yes, i want him to join my cooking show, which is tomorrow, my manager ask me to find him"
"Hmmmm.... that will be hard, dear." i already asleep to escape Eri suspicious. Eri was enrage then she punch my head.
"What !"
"Find Arashi, Your Idol looking for him !"
"Yes, yes, yes i will"
"... suspicious, did both of you hiding something from me" Okino flinch while me continue to sleep again.
"No, we never hide something..." Okino try her best maintain her composure.
"... Dear.... Arashi is you correct ?" I am not answering it and Eri sigh.
"Okay.... alright for this commission will be free, but i want to be your audience in the show" Okino become more awkward as this can be use to excuse to having date with me.
"Yes, i would love too having Lawyer Eri as my audience" Eri not bite it, she still look at me with contempt and jealousy.
"I want to see Arashi, go dear, show me" i get up, goes to toilet and change my face to Victor, as i get out from Toilet, Both of them instantly stunned, my appearance is same as Hevenly being that descend to the world, unquestionable and mysterious.
"How was it ?" Eri pass out due nosebleed, Okino keep hiding her blush face from her hand.
I mean Victor is handsome in Otome Game, he gentle, attentive, little bit hard to approach and cold, but with my Heavenly emperor of charm, i must act like one, treat it as Acting.
first when acting as Victor, i must calm, well mannered, confidence, attentive, gentle in action, patience in responding other, graceful in movement and brilliance in words of speech.
Alright is decided then.
I carry Eri to her bed, and look at Okino who cannot keep her composure, my beautiful face and my charm enough to make her act up.
"Miss Okino ?"
"Haiiii.... !??!?!" she stuttering and cannot keep her head on the track as she see my face, her face blush red, her eye completely twisting and her mind cannot comprehend surrounding anymore, her heart rapidly beating to the point her own heart sound completely covering her own thought.
"You seems need a time to relax, you should return to Hotel First, if you sick before your TV show, that will be problem, you are the Star while me is surprise Guest"
"Ah yes.... yes.... I can't wait" i approach her, her heart racing like engine car as i give her peck on the forehead.
"Lucky charm" Okino cannot hold it anymore, she run away to her hotel while face bright red, she don't understand, little kiss on her forehead suddenly boost her mood to give her best tomorrow, but the best was when she want to be embraced by me.
her imagination running wild in her mind but she snap out of it because i have Eri, she cannot stole me from Eri, i am her husband.
"Forbidden Fruit...."
Tomorrow, in her cooking Show, she completely anxious, because i am not coming but suddenly there is commotion outside as then I appear in Victor, using such Single man in his near 30 attire, giving me charm i was Candidate of Husband type person.
"Miss Okino, thank you for calling me. I apologize for disappearing from the media as I had some matters to attend to in Germany. But this time, I look forward to working with you again," I said softly, politely, and very ethically, making the female crew members here fall for me.
Okino couldn't stop blushing, as if I were a prince from a distant land come to meet her.
"I look forward to working with you, Mr. Arashi."
"I will gladly help you make this event a success."
'Your presence alone makes it a success,' was what everyone thought, as I am known to bring good luck.
"3...2...1... Action," the show began with Okino enthusiastically opening the TV show and introducing the special guest prepared by the agency.
"Let's welcome, Arashi," Okino called. I appeared from the stage entrance, all cameras focusing on my confident face, gentle smile, and charming steps.
"Good morning, everyone. My name is Arashi in Japanese, but my real name is Ars Victorious. I am Miss Okino's duet partner for the song Hikaru Nara. Nice to meet you all." The audience cheered like fangirls seeing a prince from a faraway land, even the entire audience watching Okino's show fell for me.
Handsome, majestic, authoritative, polite, and always smiling. I showed no impatience and had an aura of calm, not quick to anger.
As the show started, we both took the spotlight. Okino tried to create a new recipe, and I helped her cook using an imagined recipe.
We worked in sync, capturing the viewers' attention. My cooking skills stood out, from cutting ingredients to multitasking as I helped cook and co-hosted the show.
Okino, not wanting to lose the spotlight, was also eager to shine on stage. Together, we presented a stunning culinary creation—a luxurious dish with detailed presentation and a richly colored broth that signaled fine dining.
"Here's a new recipe from the two of us. It looks luxurious but uses inexpensive ingredients. Would you like to try it, Arashi?"
"I'd be honored." I used impeccable dining etiquette, drawing everyone's attention as I tasted the dish, showing an engaging expression.
I carefully explained the flavors, from the broth to the fish, simply and meticulously.
"I'd give it a 9/10. Compliments to you, Miss Okino."
"Thank you, Arashi. We'll be right back after this commercial break." The live light signaled we were off-air, and chaos erupted as many female audience members crowded around me, eager to get my contact.
I gently responded to them, despite their insistence. I could sense the intense jealousy from Eri and Okino towards my interaction with the fans.
"Come on, come on," the director was unhappy with the women's behavior.
"Arashi, you're very talented. Would you like to become a model or an actor?" This offer excited Okino because she could work with me more, while Eri was happy about my potential popularity but worried about me being overworked.
"Being an actor is quite demanding for me, especially as a freelance artist who needs space to grow," I humbly replied, making the women cheer.
"How about a model?"
"I'll help as a model for this TV show. Since the live broadcast is over, maybe we can use the recording as an opening. I'll assist with that," I offered, setting up an opening scene showing me cooking, but without my face, for a segment on 'Today's Menu for Emiya Family.' I did this with passion, unaware that the director decided to go live and recorded me cooking with great enthusiasm.
My cooking was visually captivating, showing meticulous, slow, and gentle techniques. I hummed softly, with a tune so melodious that it captivated anyone listening.
When I presented the food, it included Mixed Hot Pot and Rice Porridge, Salmon and Buttery Mushrooms in Foil, Spring Chirashizushi, Field Mustard Sandwiches, Bamboo Shoot Gratin, Emiya's First Hamburg Steak, Simple and Light Cold Ochazuke, The Tohsakas' Fried Rice, Basic Japanese Food, Special Fluffy Rice Balls, and Crispy Crunchy Mixed Vegetables and Seafood Tempura, Fluffy Pancakes.
All the dishes looked delicious and appetizing, making everyone in the studio visibly hungry, even hearing their stomachs growl on air.
"That's a good sign that delicious food isn't just about appearance, but also about arousing hunger. I hope this recording..." I paused, noticing the on-air light. Smiling, I improvised.
"I misunderstood; I didn't realize we were live. To all the viewers at home or wherever you are, here's my best tip: Anyone can cook. Not everyone can be a master chef, but a master chef can come from anywhere, so give it a try."
"That's cooking with Arashi! We've given a special surprise for our viewers. As Arashi said, not everyone is a master chef, but a skilled cook can be anywhere. So, don't be afraid to fail because failure is the first step to success. I'm Yoko Okino."
"And I'm Arashi."
"See you again on the next show!" We closed the show, and the director called cut.
We watched the TV ratings soar. The first and second episodes, where I cooked, captivated thousands of viewers across Japan, even reaching millions. The director laughed, pleased with his cunning move to use me as a "rating boost." Even though this was Yoko Okino's show, my presence as a mysterious artist and foreigner significantly boosted her popularity.
"Arashi, thank you so much for your help this time. I hope you can come back as a guest star on the show," the director said, bowing.
"Of course, Director. Miss Okino can contact me. I have to return to Germany today, so I can't join the celebration party for the show's success. I apologize for my rudeness," I replied, bowing.
"No, no, it's not a big deal. You have many opportunities and talents. I'm motivated by hearing you speak. There's always room to grow, and I just need to use it and fill it."
"I'll take that as a compliment. I must go now."
"Arashi, wait!"
"Is there anything else—" Okino gave me a kiss on the cheek. I was stunned, and Eri instantly snapped, showing her jealousy.
"Thank you," I blushed, making all the women around gasp and scream. My embarrassed face was something Eri would remember for a lifetime as she recorded it.
"I... I'm sorry," I said, running away. That was an unexpected move from Okino, and my acting made me seem like a sweet guy who was easily flustered by a woman's affection.
"Okino, are you and Arashi a couple?"
"No, I just did what I felt was necessary... I didn't know he had such a sweet side. It's really cute," Okino giggled. By then, I had already reverted to being Kogoro.
[Welcome back sir]
"yes Ascendant"
[Rating of tv show completely boost Yoko Okino Popularity and your popularity as Foreign Artist]
"Thanks to luck and my charm, my acting ability increasing. alright back to usual" i give food to Huginn and Muninn.
Eri open the door and lock it.
"Dear"
"Yes ?"
"... you flirt with woman right in front of me"
"I apologize" Eri walk to me and push me to my table.
"Apologize accepted, but i still jealous"
"You want me to pamper you ?"
"No talking, proof it" i then pampered her like husband should do, give her attention for her need. and for our bonding moment, i teach her how to cook, i behind her guiding her action.
Ran, Conan and Sonoko aware of our bonding in the side.
"such sweet couple isn't it ?"
"Sshh" as Eri done cooking, her food from inedible turn into newly weed cooking, better and more not poisonous.
"..... i did it"
"Good job... now you can take care of yourself," Eri said, kissing my cheek. I gently fed her some of the food I made.
Eri was very happy, her mood lifted. As we were enjoying our time together, we noticed a trio spying on us, making Eri kick me in embarrassment.
"There's a client, go take care of it!" she said in her typical tsundere fashion. I went to handle the client, who just needed to clear up a misunderstanding.
"Mom..." Eri still couldn't believe she managed to cook, even if it wasn't as delicious as my food.
"Ran, Sonoko, Conan. Welcome. Were you spying on us?"
"...um, yes."
"Sigh, don't do that next time. You made me embarrassed. Try this; I assure you it's delicious." They tasted it and found it tasty, not poisonous like before.
"Are you enjoying it?" I appeared suddenly, making them choke in surprise. Sometimes, silent actions work best.
"Don't startle me like that, Dad!"
"Sorry, sorry. Did you see Okino's TV show?"
"Oh, we did. Arashi is handsome, tall, can cook...like a prince from a fairy tale stuck in the modern world," Sonoko said, using her wild imagination, making me laugh.
"Dad, do you know Arashi?" Eri glared at me.
"Yes, Arashi is a foreign man I met while handling a case. He's multi-talented but very shy and doesn't like showing his face in public unless necessary. Miss Okino wanted to make him a guest on her cooking show, and I think Okino's show will skyrocket in popularity."
"That's good...maybe you're right, Dad. Miss Yoko Okino might become a top celebrity."
"But only in the idol field. It's disappointing that anyone can be an idol, but finding a talented idol is easy since they are everywhere. Take Arashi, for example. He's a talented idol discovered by Miss Yoko Okino. He can duet with the sweetest voice, even better than mine, is skilled in music, excellent at cooking, and can host a show. If Arashi becomes a top star, he's the most flexible artist in the world."
'Ridiculous, you are Arashi, you're just downplaying it to keep your cover,' Eri thought, seeing through my gaslighting.
"That's true, Uncle...if I saw Arashi's face, I might go crazy."
"Is he more handsome than Shinichi?" Conan asked, giving me a strange look, while Sonoko nodded quickly. Ran was hesitant, comparing Shinichi to Victor was like comparing a regular human to a god-like human.
"Shinichi is more handsome, but Arashi is more charming. Even if his popularity grows, I can be patient," Ran answered maturely, making me proud. Eri also felt that my charm attracted many women, but actions are more important than appearances.
"Good answer, thank goodness."
"Dad is Arashi," Ran dropped a bombshell, making me sweat.
"...what are you talking about?"
"Dad has habits that are hard to hide. You always hum the same tune when cooking. I recognized it and felt it was familiar. Your habits are clear, even Conan didn't notice," I facepalmed, my cover blown, while Eri stifled her laughter.
"I am Arashi, so what?" Sonoko's smile turned to heartbreak. The prince she admired was actually the young-looking man in front of her.
"RAN, WHY DID YOU SHATTER MY IMAGINATION!" Sonoko regretted it immediately, while Ran didn't realize the impact on her friend.
"UNCLE IS NOT ARASHI, ARASHI IS A PRINCE, UNCLE IS AN OLD DEMON." I didn't deny it, and Eri laughed out loud at Sonoko's comment.
"Alright, I won't invite you to Izu." Sonoko went from sad to serious, her mood swinging.
"...Izu?"
"Yes, I got tickets for a hotel tour in Izu, free from the Minister of Science and Technology. Enough for 15 people with VVIP hotel rooms. But if you insult me again, I'll tear up the ticket."
'That's you, Kogoro, why are you twisting the facts?'
"I apologize, Uncle, for my rude words. But are you really Arashi?" I brushed my face back, revealing Arashi's face, making Sonoko have a heavy nosebleed and faint. Ran blushed heavily. Arashi wasn't just handsome but mesmerizing, captivating anyone who saw him.
I returned to being Kogoro and saw Conan wide-eyed, amazed at how I changed my face so quickly without preparation.
"Now the question is, out of 5 people, who are the other 10?"
"Yay! We're going on a trip!" I expected this. The Detective Boys, including Ai, were coming, making 4 more people. Luckily, Heiji and Kazuha joined, leaving 4 spots. I didn't want to invite more people.
Eri invited her secretary, and we included Goro, our little cat, who needed care, so he came with us.
Huginn and Muninn also tagged along. We headed to Izu, unaware that Okino was secretly following us on the bus.
We arrived at the hotel like tourists. I presented my ticket, an official invitation from the Prime Minister. The hotel treated us lavishly, knowing we were important guests.
There was a sponsored event by a computer company, which I watched over because the company had no growth, only a publisher, not a creator.
"Mr. Mouri, you're short of 3 people to meet the quota."
"Oh, the woman in excessive clothing is with us, the other was cannot attend due his busy schedule, and the last person is the Prime Minister himself, but he can't attend due to a government project. He wants my group to represent him"
Hearing that the Prime Minister was part of my group shocked the hotel staff and guests.
"I understand, I will clear the quota. Who is that woman?"
"Yoko Okino," suddenly there was silence.
"Miss Yoko Okino? Is she with Arashi?" This was getting more awkward. I should have used a fake name, but oh well, it seems the news about Okino and Arashi being partners was trending.
"Unfortunately, Arashi has returned to his homeland."
"That's sad..."
"Freelance artists are like that." We entered our VVIP room, which was incredibly luxurious and typically only rented by a few conglomerates. We booked it for two days.
It was nice because all our meals were prepared in advance by a four-star chef, compliments of the minister.
We were given seven rooms, divided as follows:
- Eri and Misaki
- Ran, Sonoko, and Kazuha
- Detective boys with Heiji
- Detective girls with Yoko Okino
- I had a private VVIP hotel room because:
"I have confidential and classified work, no outsiders allowed for privacy reasons. Please understand."
"Privacy! What are you talking about, Uncle Mouri?" I had to close this off, but I needed to keep my position as Prime Minister secret.
"I hold the rank of Major General for the JGSDF (Japan Ground Self-Defense Force), Admiral for the JMSDF (Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force), and Lieutenant General for the JASDF (Japan Air Self-Defense Force). This job is secondary while being a detective is my main job. That's why I need a separate space for meetings with military and government officials, which are highly classified and confidential. I can't disclose a government project to the public without approval from the Minister and the Prime Minister. Please understand that if I can't join you in your activities, it's because of this." They were all surprised except for those who already knew.
"Uncle, you made it!"
"Yes, a week ago, but I can't disclose more now." My phone rang, and I answered it.
"Prime Minister, good evening. Yes, I have arrived." I stepped aside to take the call in the corridor and took out some paper to write a memo.
They watched me working while talking on the phone, and even though I was extremely busy, I could see they were starting to unpack.
I tried to fool them with my acting, using the God Card and Ascendant to make this scenario seem real, allowing me to move more freely. I called Gin and Vodka to retrieve the Night Baron Virus during the murder. They were disguised as staff, ready and agile.
However, there was one crucial rule: no black cloaks while moving, especially during a mission. They followed my order.
The next day, I was still busy, but I enjoyed watching them play on the beach. I noticed Ran and Eri, whose bodies were voluptuous. They were the stars here with their charm, even overshadowing Okino, Kazuha, Sonoko, Ayumi, and Ai, who compared their less sexy figures.
"DAD!" Ran waved at me. I waved back and returned to work.
"Uncle Mouri, why are you wearing those clothes? Come have fun!" I finished my tasks early thanks to Genta's invitation. I got up and revealed my Greek soldier body build with natural Japanese skin color. My skin was remarkably well-maintained for my age, with no spots or blemishes, smooth and clean like a celestial being.
My aura of an experienced father and man was incredibly strong. Every woman on the beach, including young girls, looked at me in awe, their mouths agape.
I had broad shoulders accompanied by perfectly sculpted muscles from top to bottom, an ideal height exceeding the average, and skin that shone like it had been bathed in sunlight.
I joined them in the water, splashing Eri and Ran. We had a lot of fun. Eri threw me with Judo for laughs, but I countered with a one-arm shoulder throw. When I threw Eri, it was like a bomb exploded.
Eri got up and laughed, despite the wave and shock it caused. Thanks to the intimate One buff, Eri could withstand the throw. If it had been a normal person, they wouldn't have been able to handle it. Eri just shrugged it off like it was nothing.
"Mom, are you okay?" Ran was very worried, but Eri just laughed because the adrenaline had kicked in and she felt no pain.
"I'm fine. Your father's throw doesn't hurt me, though it would for a normal person. Your mom is strong."
"Really?"
"Ran, your mom can handle your strong dad easily. This strength is nothing for your tough and resilient mom." Eri looked at me and threw me far into the sea with ease.
"See? I can throw your dad, even though he's built like a god." They waited, but I didn't surface.
"Don't tell me your dad can't swim. KOGORO!" Eri panicked when I didn't come back, causing chaos, but I was underwater hunting fish and gathering food for cooking.
The four-star chef's food here wasn't to my taste, but the ingredients were high quality, and the natural resources here were exceptional, though limited. I used the God Card to artificially manage the ecosystem.
With the God Card, Ascendant, and Scenario System, I had the power to act like a playboy, womanizer, and pervert. I was a character created by my creator, who controlled my story.
"AUTHOR, LET ME FUCK VERMOUTH."
I checked the God Card again and saw shocking news.
[Gin and Vodka Failed to Retrieve the Night Baron due to Conan's interference with Ai's Black Organization detection]
I forgot Ai had ESP towards the Black Organization. I sent a message:
"Creator, Watch Out." Gin and Vodka knew that Sherry or Shiho was here, and their presence would disrupt everything.
However, my disappearance created a distraction, allowing Gin and Vodka to complete their mission easily. They drugged the woman and swapped the real virus with a fake one. Now, the Night Baron virus was just a cheap virus that concealed data rather than completely erasing it.
"DAD, DAD!" Ran's voice echoed across the beach. I crawled out and vomited up all the seawater from my stomach.
"Sorry, I forgot to stretch and got cramps while swimming back. I'm sorry for worrying you all. Please send my regards to the Prime Minister and apologize for my carelessness. I'll be more careful next time." Eri immediately embraced me and cried loudly. They were relieved I was safe, even though I vomited excessively because my body needed it. I could use this situation to my advantage later.
The paramedics arrived, and I helped them treat me, even though they were puzzled by my complex methods. But once the medical treatment was done, I gained something valuable from it.
[Buff obtained > Mermaid Lung: User has the ability to breathe underwater. Additionally, the user can see clearly underwater without the need for goggles or other aids]
I could feel my body stabilizing, and I felt refreshed because my lungs could filter seawater easily, and my alveoli could extract oxygen from the water.
"Uncle... did you gain another superpower?" Ai's question left all the paramedics and my entourage puzzled. What did she mean by that? I knew Ai was just curious, so I smiled and patted her head, trying to answer as innocently as possible.
"Unfortunately, no. Sorry to disappoint you." But Ai knew I was a man who could easily fool people, and she felt safe because my aura was brighter than before.
Warm, comfortable, and calming. Being next to me made Ai see me as a protector.
"Uncle is lying. You must have superpowers like shooting lasers from your eyes, shaking the ground with a punch, splitting the ocean with a clap, and cutting the sky in half with a sword slash." We all looked at Ai with mixed expressions of being impressed, amused, and confused. But I laughed heartily at that because I could potentially achieve those feats as a Primordial.
"Ai, it's not possible for Uncle to be that powerful. He's just an ordinary man with an extraordinary body." Ayumi and Genta's innocence made Ai remain unfazed, as she wanted to know the extent of my evolution.
"No, Uncle can do Onmyodo and communicate with ghosts. He must have supernatural and paranormal powers beyond human knowledge." She was like Conan, sniffing out something exciting, making her genuinely curious. The kids also looked at me with starry eyes.
"In theory and practice, it's true. But I haven't delved deeply into it because it's just a complement to my detective work when dealing with the supernatural."
"Can Uncle become Kamen Yaiba?" Okay, the kids were tapping into my inner child. I didn't have time to show off, but a little spoiler wouldn't hurt.
"Actually, I'm interested in Rider Transformations. In my spare time, I watch Kamen Yaiba and study special effects in the film industry. Maybe I can create an authentic Rider suit. Here's an example." I got up from my bed, did a sleight of hand, and put on a Rider belt around my waist. I struck a pose without saying a word and then did a transformation.
"Henshin!" I activated the belt, which spun quickly, forming the Tomoe symbol.
"Susanoo!" The belt announced, and my body was enveloped in lightning, revealing a simple Rider suit with a samurai motif from the past but not too heavy on armor, emphasizing the elegance and power of Susanoo. The helmet resembled a modernized samurai helmet with cool visor glasses.
"How do I look? Cool, right?" My voice was deeper inside the costume. The kids screamed in delight, seeing me transform in person. I was thrilled to see them so happy. I could probably monetize this, but it was just a hobby for now.
I deactivated the Rider belt, leaving me in a comfortable turtleneck sweater with long sleeves. My hair had grown longer, perhaps a side effect of the electricity speeding up my metabolism and evolution. Fascinating, to say the least.
"Well... a bit of a side effect from the special effects. Luckily, it's just a hobby I do when I don't have clients."
Then my phone rang. It was the Prime Minister, furious about my antics. Everyone could hear him scolding me through the phone. All I could do was apologize. He berated me for being late with a report he needed, and I turned pale. I immediately provided the report he requested, trying my best to calm him down with my explanation.
Initially, this report was just a government project I proposed. However, thanks to its "efficiency," it had become a significant project directed by me, supervised and monitored by the Prime Minister. The project was actually completed, but he needed my report to confirm it.
The Prime Minister hung up, and I let out a sigh of relief. I had nearly blown my cover. A bit careless, but I'm only human. Sometimes I make mistakes, sometimes I get things right.
"Fortunately, he's patient. I'm hungry and exhausted from swimming. Eri, next time, throw me onto the land, not into the ocean. If I couldn't swim, you would have to say goodbye to me." Eri smacked me and then started scolding me thoroughly. Everyone found our interaction amusing. I pulled Eri's cheek, and she yanked on my hair.
That night at dinner, I had bruises and a few cuts on my face, courtesy of Eri's rough treatment.
As I kept an eye on everyone, a woman approached me, introducing herself as Hideko. She came to ask about the Night Baron.
"Night Baron... the character or the program?" My question surprised the woman and intrigued my group.
"Detective Mouri, do you know about both the Night Baron character and the program?"
"Not only do I know, but I also figured out who's behind the Night Baron mask before Yusaku Kudo revealed it in the next chapter. As for the Night Baron program, I know who owns it and have been tracking it before I even came to this hotel. So, there's no need to dress up in front of me," I said. Hideko was shocked and impressed by my detective skills, while the others admired me. The perpetrator, however, was anxious about my actions.
"If you already know, why haven't you acted?" she asked. Annoying, but understandable. I took out my phone and called the JSDF and Izu Police.
In three minutes, I exposed Tokio Ebara's crimes as a hacker, detailing all his victims and showing the arrest warrant and his hacker ID from the Japanese government. I explained the data and documents he had stolen and outlined the penalties he would face. Before I finished, the JSDF and Izu Police arrived, and Tokio turned pale seeing the Japanese military respond so quickly.
I approached Akiko Sayama and looked at her sharply.
"You're planning to murder your brother's killer, Tokio Obara. Give me the Night Baron virus, and I'll ensure Tokio faces justice and never sees daylight again. Because of him, a lot of illegal goods were smuggled in, and crucial security data was erased. Hand it over, and I'll track down the organization you bought it from. I've already arranged with the Prime Minister that once the antivirus is developed, it will bear your brother's name." She cried and tried to hug me, but I dodged and took the virus from her, handing it to the JSDF and instructing them to take it to headquarters.
"Keep your tears to yourself." Although I seemed harsh, work needed to be taken seriously. Compassion could slow things down. The case was resolved, and I returned to my seat.
"Thanks for ruining my dinner with work, Miss Hideko. Good night," I said, heading back to my room to sleep, knowing I had just prevented a major incident.
"That was fast. Ran, does your father always solve cases that quickly?" Kazuha asked her.
"My father is quick because it's his job. Sometimes people wonder if he knows all the crimes in Tokyo and just waits for them to happen instead of preventing them. A detective never sleeps, which contradicts his title, but it makes me proud, despite his heavy side jobs," Ran explained in somehow proud manner.
"Handling three major positions must be stressful. It's amazing he's not severely stressed or insane. It's like he has experience, but Uncle Mouri... isn't the same lazy, drunken detective who used to do his job half-heartedly" Heiji commented about my duty as detective and other position.
'Because he has super soldier enhancements, making him superhuman. Human limitations aren't an issue for him' was Eri, Ran, Ai, and Conan's explanation, knowing about my enhancements.
"Maybe he has a supercomputer or a secret base in his office, or he could have superpowers that control lightning and become Kamen Yaiba by absorbing electricity for super armor" Genta speculated before Matsuhiko and Ayumi covered his mouth.
"Genta, shhh!"
"Kid, does Detective Mouri really have a supercomputer and super armor?" some people eavesdropped and try to dig more information.
"No, my friend is just making things up," Genta almost became a target of suspicion. I laughed in my room, playing a game with Ascendant and checking my stats.

The next day, we checked out of the hotel, dealing with some issues along the way. The Prime Minister called me about the virus, and I had already sent the software. But something felt off. I went to the restroom and checked the God Card.
[On their way back, Mouri Group will be ambushed by Black Organization car chase, Target You]
Damn, I didn't bring my weapon. I need to use another tactic.
Returning to the bus, I thought for a moment. We were on a public bus since the special bus was used by civilians returning to Tokyo. How inconvenient. I need to buy a bigger SUV.
We got on, and I whispered something to the bus driver. He was shocked and looked at me with concern. I nodded, and despite his fear, he nodded back.
My group noticed my conversation with the bus driver and grew suspicious.
"Dad, what's going on?" Ran asked.
"Nothing, don't worry," I replied.
"Uncle..." Ai sensed something was off and knew we were being tailed by the Black Organization.
"Relax, I have a plan," I said, taking my seat and making preparations. This was going to be a drive-by like in GTA SA, but with civilians involved, I needed to take the shortest route.
As the bus started moving, I could see the suspicious cars trailing us in the side mirror. this will be fun.
