Cherreads

Chapter 36 - 478

This confrontation has temporarily come to an end.

And Senichi didn't expect that his actions each time would correspond to vodka, perfectly making him the scapegoat.

The wings of the butterfly stirred different "airflows." Although not apparent at first, some things have quietly started to be influenced and changed with the passage of time.

As for what will happen in the future, no one knows.

At this moment, Senichi is having breakfast prepared by Akemi Miyano at Professor Agasa's house.

"Have you organized the information?" Senichi looked at Haibara who was beside him while eating fried eggs. "Any findings?"

"Although they timely shut down the computer using a power cut, I must say that what you prepared was a 'cunning gift'"

Haibara said while eating her sister's breakfast. "After organizing the content, I obtained a lot of information about the drug 'APTX4869.' It saved me a lot of trouble, and the research progress has directly crossed a lot."

At this point, Haibara also has a strange emotion quietly spreading in her heart.

She, who has always been shrouded in the shadow of the organization, never thought of rebellion. Escaping was already exhausting for her.

Living a peaceful life like now with her sister feels like a dream for Haibara, almost making her feel unreal, afraid that it is just a beautiful dream.

As for confronting the organization, it's something she doesn't even dare to think about, let alone causing setbacks to the organization.

Especially making Gin suffer loss, this even made Haibara, who has always been shrouded in the shadow of the organization and Gin, somewhat incredulous.

Even though the software development had her and Professor Agasa's help, including Senichi using the "Cash Ability" to outsource some of the parts, Haibara still has a dreamlike feeling.

But the fact that it happened like this. And those "spoils of war" were in front of her eyes, making her unable to help but believe.

And compared to disbelief, She felt a kind of emotion that she herself does not understand at the moment...

If you have to describe it, it feels like someone has knocked out cracks on that thick outer shell of shadow.

Although only a very small part, it made Haibara see the brilliance called "hope."

Compared to Haibara who took the first step out of the shadow, Conan didn't have as many feelings.

Apart from the thoughts of "Senichi is awesome!" and "I was too unprepared and need to study hard," and feeling the gap between him and Senichi, the rest is all excitement.

After all, Conan's main gain this time is information about the drug "APTX4869." He couldn't help but ask after hearing Haibara's statement that she has made considerable progress:

"When can I get the antidote!?"

"Antidote?"

Haibara glanced at Conan with an expression that said, "What nonsense are you thinking?" and replied, "Although this portion of the information saved me a lot of effort and accelerated the progress of the antidote, we are still far from having it."

"How can that be?" Conan looked skeptical, "Are you afraid that if I turn back into Shinichi and it will attract the attention of the Black Organization, so you don't want to give me the antidote?"

"While there is indeed a factor in that regard, it is not the main reason," Haibara admitted her concerns and turned to Conan, then she said in an annoyed tone, "But don't forget, 'APTX4869' is an unfinished drug, and the effect that caused us to shrink is an incidental side effect of 'APTX4869.'

Although there is experimental data of you accidentally turning back after drinking white wine that allowed me to extract the antidote components from the white wine, combined with the data from this time, it will allow me to make progress in a step-by-step manner.

But developing a drug from scratch is not as easy as you imagine."

Although Haibara's words on the surface are explanations, Senichi could sense a hidden meaning – you, a non-expert in pharmaceuticals, keep quiet if you don't understand!

And picking up on Haibara's disdainful tone, Conan felt a sense of "academic contempt" and weakly chuckled twice. After that he stopped talking.

Silence.

"Do you need any research equipment?"

Senichi asked with a smile after Haibara finished scolding Conan.

"If you do, I can purchase some experimental equipment in the name of Professor Agasa. I have connections and channels to even procure some more advanced ones."

"Well..." Haibara thought for a moment and said, "I do need some. Later, I'll make a list for you..."

After saying this, both of them looked at Conan simultaneously and stared at him and Conan said with a bewildered expression. "Huh? What are you two doing?"

"We're waiting for you to say something, boss," Senichi said with a smile. "Haibara is a researcher, and I can help find people to get equipment. As for money..."

"Uh..." Conan had a black line on his head upon hearing this. "Fine, I'll pay. I'll pay for it."

"Okay, that's settled then." Senichi and Haibara nodded in satisfaction, then promptly skipped over this topic.

Senichi didn't leave after breakfast. He directly called Inspector Megure and took a leave, then went straight to rest at Professor Agasa's residence.

After all, from yesterday afternoon until now, neither Senichi nor Conan had gotten any sleep. They both needed a good rest in the morning.

Senichi stretched lazily after finishing the milk in one go. He exchanged greetings with everyone, and then went to freshen up.

When he was about to catch up on sleep in the guest room, Senichi opened the system panel while feeling a bit tired.

[Mainline plot detected to be finished. Do you want to proceed with reward settlement?]

Seeing the page for mainline rewards again, Senichi clicked on [Yes] once more with a hopeful expression.

In the next moment, the familiar flood of information began to continuously pop up.

[Mainline plot detected...]

[Calculating the fate fluctuations caused by each case...]

[Calculation completed. ]

[Residual Silent Evidence]

Case 1 Ending: Itakura's death, successful capture of the murderer, and acquisition of Black Organization Intelligence.

Fluctuation Value: Normal.

[Jewelry Robbery]

Case 2 Ending: Arrest of the jewelry robber.

Fluctuation Value: Normal.

[Case Evaluation: Only changed the process without altering the outcome, so the rewards for the last two cases are just ordinary gains.]

But detecting traces of a layout and considering the recent needs of the host, directly converted to a [Peaceful Days Card (Seven Days)].

[Mainline: Confrontation with the Black Organization]

Fluctuation Value: ???

[Case Evaluation: The wings of the butterfly begin to stir, the layout has just begun, and no one knows where it will lead.]

[Because the future variables are too large to calculate, this reward will be settled together in the subsequent confrontation with the Black side.]

Seeing this, Senichi's expression couldn't help but become a bit strange.

Is this a preparation for cumulative rewards?

But this unexpected result seems quite reasonable.

Now, the impact of his actions is uncertain, and he probably needs to participate to find out.

In this situation, delaying the reward for this time and giving the reward based on the subsequent results seems to be a logical outcome.

Although it's a bit regrettable not to get the reward now, he will be twice as happy in the future!
