Chapter 140 Gin and Vermouth's Arrival, The Birth of Haibara Ai
An airplane landed at Tokyo Airport.
Gin and Vodka walked off the plane. Shortly after Gin got off, a slender figure also disembarked.
Soon, this slender figure got into a Porsche 356A.
"Vermouth, why did you come to Japan this time?"
Gin asked Vermouth, who had gotten into the car. It sounded more like an interrogation than a question.
"Just think of it as me coming for tourism."
"That's best. I don't want you to cause the mission to fail."
"How cold, Gin. But this mission's target is just an ordinary person, yet they've offered such a high price. Don't you think that's suspicious?"
Gin took a drag from his cigarette, then replied indifferently, "No matter what the problem is, the boss personally gave the order this time. I have to complete it. If you hinder me, I'll take you out too."
"How ruthless you are."
Vermouth sighed, then looked out the window at the scenery and said, "I'm just here for tourism."
"That's for the best."
"The target this time is named Yagami Hakuto? A seventeen-year-old high school student, yet the organization's ace is being sent to take care of him personally. And someone is willing to pay such a high price for you to act. I'm really curious what kind of person he is."
"No matter who he is, to me, completing the mission is all that matters. I don't care about anything else."
Vermouth stopped talking. Floating before Vermouth's eyes was a diary that only she could see.
'We'll be meeting soon, Yagami Hakuto.'
Vermouth chuckled softly, then looked at the night view outside the car window.
As midnight passed.
[Yesterday's diary completed. Starting reward distribution. You have received a FLiNG Trainer.]
[Yesterday's diary keeper received reward. Starting drawing: one diary copy holder will receive the same reward.]
[Drawing complete. Congratulations to XXX (Umaru Doma) for receiving a FLiNG Trainer (one-time use).]
[Diary copy holder reward distribution starting. The person mentioned the most times by the diary keeper yesterday was Miyano Shiho. Starting reward distribution now.]
[Congratulations to Miyano Shiho for receiving the Metamorphosis ability. Metamorphosis: Can transform into any form.]
FLiNG Trainer: Enter any game and silently recite to bring up the FLiNG Trainer, allowing data modification within reasonable limits, with no risk of detection for data anomalies.
[Wow. FLiNG Trainer? I'm going to soar. If I use the FLiNG Trainer as soon as I enter the game, won't I be able to go straight to the top in no time?]
[I was originally planning to be a whale in the game. But now, to hell with being a whale. I'm going to be a cheater.]
In another room, Shiho used Metamorphosis. She transformed into a child, then into an old woman, and then into a man.
Male, female, old, young. Shiho's Metamorphosis displayed them all in the room. Finally, Shiho transformed into her childhood appearance, the form of Haibara Ai.
"That guy always wanted to make me small, didn't he? Well, I'll satisfy him. And being small will also prevent the organization from finding me."
Shiho suddenly thought of something.
"Since I'm getting small, I'll need a fake identity. As for the name..."
'Ai.'
This name instantly appeared in Shiho's mind.
"I've got it. I'll call myself Haibara Ai."
The next day, Hakuto woke up again under the oppressive presence of Rem and Ram.
Now Hakuto knew for sure that Rem and Ram must have planned this together.
But he didn't expose them.
After getting dressed, he went out and saw Shiho walking out of her room. Just one look left Hakuto dumbfounded.
"How did you become like this?"
Looking at Shiho in the form of Haibara Ai, Hakuto's eyes showed shock and confusion.
"I woke up this morning and found I had shrunk. But I can change back to my original form at any time."
Hakuto was instantly confused.
'Was this world becoming strange?'
"So, you plan to walk around like this?"
"Yes. I've even given myself a new name. Haibara Ai."
Hakuto fell silent again.
[Plot correction power? Waking up this morning, Miyano Shiho had already turned into my little wife Ai. And she can change her size freely?]
Miyano Shiho's, no, now Haibara Ai's expression immediately darkened.
"Change size freely" sounds like "use the toilet freely" due to similar pronunciation.
Although it was just a common pun, Haibara was still a bit exasperated.
'This guy, Hakuto, was completely ruining my reputation. What a bastard.'
Haibara suspected that the other diary copy holders were probably laughing so hard they couldn't straighten up right now.
"After this, I plan to go back to my sister's side."
Hakuto looked at his phone, then said to Haibara, "I'm afraid not. I just received news that the Black Organization's strongest assassin, Gin, arrived in Japan last night. His target is me. And you two are probably on his hit list too."
'Gin?'
Haibara's expression stiffened slightly.
The name Gin instinctively terrified her.
"Don't worry. I'll deal with Gin. You'll be reunited with your sister soon."
Haibara's expression relaxed slightly.
"Thank you. Can you come here? I have something to tell you."
Hakuto, not suspecting anything, approached.
"Lean your ear in."
He crouched down and leaned in.
"Thank you. And this is your reward."
A light, fleeting kiss landed on his cheek. Hakuto looked at Haibara.
"It's just thanks for your help. I haven't fallen in love with you yet."
Hakuto gazed at Haibara and nodded slightly.
Meanwhile, at the slightly open door to Hakuto's bedroom, two pairs of eyes were looking at Haibara as if she were a thieving cat.
