Chapter 790 Vermouth's Plans After Arriving in Tokyo (1)
"Welcome back, sir/madam! We hope you'll visit us again soon..."
"Oh dear, sir, your place is dirty. Let me wipe it for you..."
"Mr. Amuro, you're amazing! This dish is fantastic..."
"Mr. Amuro, your coffee-making technique is amazing................................"
Enomoto Azusa's voice never stopped all morning.
Of course, nobody really cares about that...
Neither the customers she served so enthusiastically nor Amuro Tooru, whom she praised so highly, noticed why she had suddenly become more talkative today...
Realizing this, Enomoto Azusa felt a little strange inside...
It's understandable that those customers didn't notice her changes.
but.................................
Why didn't Amuro Tooru notice either...............................
Oh no.............................
In my own mind, I should refer to him as..........................
Bourbon..........................
Vermouth, disguised as Enomoto Azusa, thought to herself.
Today was her first time impersonating Ms. Enomoto Azusa, but aside from that, she had been investigating Ms. Enomoto Azusa for quite some time...
For the past month, I've been coming to Poirot Cafe every day to observe Ms. Enomoto Azusa's daily routine, to ensure my disguise is flawless.
Of course, as a master of disguise, Vermouth naturally understood one principle—
No matter how skillful the disguise, it will eventually be exposed one day...
But she didn't care.............................
Or rather, this time, in order to expose herself quickly, Vermouth deliberately revealed many flaws so that Amuro Tooru could discover them immediately...
but..............................
hehe............................
Vermouth smiled coldly to herself.
It seems Bourbon has been living a life of ease for too long; he's even lost the most basic sense of vigilance...
Perfect timing, I'll remind him myself this time...................................
While lost in thought, Vermouth continued talking to customers and other staff, her hands constantly busy with the tasks Enomoto Azusa was supposed to be doing...
However, she no longer speaks as flippantly as before...
She returned to the person Enomoto Azusa should have been—a lively and sunny girl....................................
As she worked, Vermouth's thoughts raced through her mind...
The reason she painstakingly spent nearly a month researching Enomoto Azusa at Poirot Café, and the reason she impersonated Enomoto Azusa to get close to Amuro Tooru, was all for a reason............................
The deepest purpose...
It was Shinichi and Ran...........................
These two children, a boy and a girl, whom she treated like her own son and daughter..............................
Back then, the appearance of these two children was like a ray of light shining into her seemingly utterly dark inner world, giving her a sense that life still held some hope...
Therefore, she silently vowed in her heart that she must protect these two children, ensuring they never experience the darkness of the world, and allowing them to grow up happily in the sunlight...
Yes, she felt from the beginning that this vow could only be half fulfilled—
Because Shinichi and Ran were already sixteen-year-old teenagers at the time...
However, she now feels she can complete three-quarters of it..............................
Because Shinichi shrunk!
Vermouth felt a sense of unease at this thought...
For most people, getting smaller is actually not a good thing............................
After all, any organization or person capable of shrinking you must be a behemoth to you, and they might very well use you for some purpose...
In Vermouth's view, Shinichi Kudo's current situation, or rather Conan's, is somewhat... interesting...
The organization is too powerful!
If Conan's shrinking is exposed to the organization, what will happen to him?
No matter how hard I try, how could I possibly fight against the organization that nurtured me?
So, Vermouth came here..................................
Conan's shrinking was something Vermouth only gradually discovered a month after returning to Tokyo.
Upon returning to Tokyo, the first thing Vermouth did was to visit her goddaughter and godson.
Even if she could only catch a glimpse of it from afar, Vermouth would still go and see it..............................
result.............................
It would have been better if she hadn't looked; once she did, she discovered...............................
My godson, Shinichi Kudo, has disappeared!
Just a few months ago, he was a renowned high school detective in Tokyo, known as the "Kudo of the East," the savior of the Japanese police...
He had only completed a mission and was flying back to Japan from the United States when he disappeared without a trace...
For Vermouth, who loved her son dearly, it was like the sky had fallen..................................
However, Vermouth still harbored a sliver of hope...
After calming down and analyzing the situation, she concluded that Shinichi Kudo should be alright.
Firstly, her previous public identity was that of Yukiko Kudo's close friend. If her son were gone, Yukiko Kudo certainly wouldn't be able to continue traveling and enjoying life in the United States so carefree as she is now...
Secondly, Xiaolan doesn't seem to be sad at the moment.
If Shinichi Kudo were really gone, Ran couldn't possibly act like nothing happened...
Therefore, Vermouth believed that Shinichi Kudo should be fine.
Of course, this is only a possibility; she didn't say everything she meant...
The main reason is that there are indeed organizations and departments in the world that can completely erase all traces of a person's death, as if it had never happened...
And coincidentally, the organization she belonged to was one of them.............................
Vermouth knew all too well the organization's power.........................
So she began a thorough search.
Therefore, she had almost no contact with anyone in the organization, including Gin, and Lin Jiayou, a familiar stranger..............................
Why do I say "almost"?
The main reason is that Calvados, that sycophant, immediately flocked to her as soon as he heard she was in Tokyo.
This guy is pretty good, capable and has the right attitude. She might as well take advantage of this kind of workhorse who's practically begging her to be used.
After a series of investigations, utilizing her expertise in disguise and meticulous analysis, along with the information about Sherry's 'defection' and disappearance from the organization, she finally found her godson again.
The child has shrunk!
God knows how nervous Vermouth was when she found out...
She was truly terrified that Conan would be discovered by the organization, taken away for human experimentation, and never see the light of day again, his former justice and brilliance reduced to darkness and gloom...
Upon learning that Conan had shrunk and discovering that there was another 'Sherry' who had also shrunk beside him, Vermouth immediately began planning her operation...
She disguises herself as Araide Tomoaki and works as the school doctor at Conan's school, ready to carry out her mission at any time.
She named this operation—Operation Full Moon...........................
On the night of the full moon, he would use a unique ball to lure Conan and his family away, and then stage a murder there to sever Conan's connection to his subsequent actions.
Then, I will personally take that fake Sherry away and execute him to eliminate any future troubles!
Yes, Vermouth's plan was excellent. She even included Judy, who was working as an English teacher at the time, in her plan, and successfully won over Calvados, a key figure in the operation, determined to nip any dangers surrounding Conan in the bud...
However, plans can't keep up with changes.
Just as she was about to take action, she suddenly felt as if she had made a mistake...
