Chereads / Conan: I'm Really a Good Person / Chapter 99 - Yes It's Me

Chapter 99 - Yes It's Me

Gin has long silver hair, Ichijō Mirai has short black hair, and their eye colors are different, one with green eyes, the other with red.

Not to mention face-blindness, even a color-blind person who can only see black, white, and grey colors and can't distinguish between eye colors can instantly tell the difference between the two by the color and brightness of their hair.

Or at least the length of the hair, right?

Ichijō Mirai looking at Ujiyu Ruri.

There was a dress code for members of the organization, and this time he chose a black shirt.

Ujiyu Ruri had the third button from the bottom of the black shirt in her hand, and she flicked the buttons absentmindedly, and when she was reminded of this, she showed a somewhat confused expression, and then, as if realizing it, she smiled, straightened her back a bit, and then wrapped her arms tightly around Ichijō Mirai's waist, "It's very nice, very handsome."

"Gin with short black hair has a different kind of charm, I can't help but be touched every time I see him," Her voice was soft and gentle, like a lover treating a lover, like a mother treating a child, "Gin with silver hair that I haven't seen in a long time is also very handsome."

"No matter what kind of Gin, I'm attracted to him."

'A silver-haired Gin that I haven't seen in a long time'.

Ichijō Mirai's simple translation extracts two points.

First, the Gin that Ujiyu Ruri saw had black hair and silver hair.

Second, the last time Ujiyu Ruri saw Gin with silver hair was a long time ago.

However, Gin still has silver hair.

Ichijō Mirai was certain that Gin's silver hair was definitely real hair, and that tugging on it would cause the owner to lower his eyebrows and tilt them back.

And the long silver hair was too long to wear a wig.

If she really couldn't tell the difference between a human and a Gin, then... she wasn't seeing a Gin at all.

But how could anyone not recognize it? It's so fake.

Ujiyu Ruri reached for Ichijō Mirai's hand and placed it over her heart, her eyes curving up, "Feel it, my unique heartbeat for you."

"'Boom', 'boom', 'boom', 'boom', one after the other, like an Eve tempted by a serpent and about to eat the forbidden fruit."

Ichijō Mirai: "..."

Does 'unique heartbeat' mean you can't tell him from Gin? It's quite unique.

Not being able to tell the difference between two very different people is so fake that if you ask people on the street about it, 99% of them will laugh and answer, 'hahaha, you can't tell the difference on purpose, you heard the gunshots and were scared and couldn't get away, so you had to grit your teeth and try to get along with the bandits'.

But Ujiyu Ruri's expression was too relaxed, her body was relaxed, and even more than that, her hand was ruffling the buttons of Ichijō Mirai's shirt, and she was clearly hesitant and confused: why does Gin seem to be resisting me today?

Relaxed enough that if Ichijō Mirai let go of his resistance, she'd be able to get her hands under his shirt for some nighttime entertainment that would be perfect for him.

This was not the attitude of a gangster, but of an intimate lover.

Her hands even began to tentatively hook into his shirt.

Ichijō Mirai had to grab Ujiyu Ruri's hand and remind him again: "I just shot."

Even if her eyesight was not good enough to distinguish between him and Gin, and she couldn't see some of the spattered blood on her black shirt, Ujiyu Ruri could hear the gunshot that had just been fired as long as her hearing was normal, and she could smell the smoke and blood as long as her sense of smell was normal.

He lowered his eyes and gazed at Ujiyu Ruri, pressing with his sight: Wake up, don't pretend.

"I hear you," Ujiyu Ruri met his gaze, smiling sweetly, like a young woman in love, "Gin is protecting me, I know it."

Ichijō Mirai: "?" 

"Every time you come over, you always clear out the rest of the villa, either before you come to see me, or after you leave." She moved her hand, stopped touching the buttons, and reached for Ichijō Mirai again, "I'm a public figure, and if one of your temporary staff takes any pictures..."

"I know you're trying to protect me."

She whispers, then lifts her face again, her eyes lighting up, "I'm trying to do something for you too, Gin, I've got the papers you asked for on that Mr. Congressman."

Ichijō Mirai: "..."

Gin is capable of such things, and it's understandable that Ujiyu Ruri didn't get nervous when he heard the gunshots.

But it's still very strange.

He didn't move, he didn't half enter the 'lover' status.

In the unanswered silence, Ujiyu Ruri showed her apprehension as she bit her lip, "He didn't touch me, Gin."

She grabbed Ichijō Mirai's hand and brushed it against her cheek, "Mr. Uemoto had just been sniped and many suspected that the target was behind it, he's been very busy lately and hasn't touched me again, I sneaked the documents out of the safe while he was away."

This is not a weak, blind lady, this is an intelligence spy, a spy who has been working as a lover to steal information from a member of parliament who is not on good terms with Uemoto Tarō.

Ichijō Mirai extracted this information and further judged that she was very powerful.

Humans are different, and those in power are two very different creatures from ordinary humans, and suspicion, skepticism, and caution are part of what keeps them safe. To gain the trust of a councilor, to know the location of the safe and the combination, and to steal secrets while the councilor is away is impressive.

This is very different from Uemoto Tarō.

Uemoto Tarō was obviously groomed by the organization, perhaps from the beginning or halfway through, and the benefits of that grooming are clear: as a member of the council, he could provide a lot of benefits to the black organization.

But there are also some problems, such as the assassination, the organization has to go to great lengths to protect him, to protect the apple tree that they have cultivated, to make sure that the tree is still alive, and that they can still pick the fruits that the tree provides.

Ujiyu Ruri, however, is not a tree, but a person who can pick fruit. With such a person, the organization doesn't need to spend a lot of effort to cultivate the councilor at all, and by placing her next to the councilor, the organization can indirectly control the councilor, and gain the same convenience, without having to protect the councilor, and even use the councilor as a target to hide her from the organization.

Even if the councilor dies, she can still look for the next councilor and succeed in achieving the achievement of 'a councilor in flowing water, but a lover in iron'.

It didn't matter, Ichijō Mirai wasn't interested in councilors for now, but he was interested in one thing: information.

He broke away from Ujiyu Ruri's hand and took the initiative to touch her face, confirming, "You have access to a lot of information, don't you."

You can investigate the information about the hospital that those two instructors said, and you can investigate the information about the player's parents.

Ujiyu Ruri looked at him and answered softly, "Of course."

"Even if it's information from the past," Ichijō Mirai reconfirmed, "as long as I need it."

Ujiyu Ruri still replied softly, "Of course."

She grabbed Ichijō Mirai's wrist, her eyelashes fluttering softly, "As long as Gin needs."

Ichijō Mirai said with a straight face, "I didn't think you'd find out,"

"Yes, I am Gin."
