A luxury hotel.
Vermouth stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in her pajamas.
Her beautiful eyes glanced calmly in the direction of the research institute. An alibi, is that it?
I can give it to you!
After this incident, I need to get back to grinding quests.
[Although I really like Shiho's shrunk appearance, Shiho doesn't seem to like it. It'd be best to make her turn back soon!]
At Xia Ye's villa.
Shiho and Yukiko are chatting.
As usual, the logbook was floating around them.
Upon seeing the new entries in the log, Yukiko quipped:
"As expected, in Xia Ye's heart, you are the most special. You can tell from what he said in his diary how much he likes you when you're small. Now he's actually changing his mind for you, tsk tsk..."
"Haha~"
Shiho's slightly arrogant face showed disdain, but her heart was filled with warmth.
She thought to herself: Should I just keep things like this for a while longer, as a reward for him?
..........
Twelve o'clock at midnight.
[Log reward has been issued]
0 ······Requesting flowers·· ··
[Shiho Miyano nominated for award: Superman Glasses]
[Superman Glasses: A special gadget that conceals your identity and prevents anyone from suspecting you. Note: The glasses can be styled at will.]
[Miyano Akemi received a reward for watching the log: the buff "Natsuha's Blessing". Natsuha's Blessing allows her to choose any one of Natsuha's skills as a buff. The duration is calculated based on the skill's strength and lasts for at least one day.]
This is the first time that people who are waiting for the draw in the daily logs have felt that watching the rewards is better than being nominated for them!
Of course, the Superman glasses are also good; they can hide one's identity and change one's appearance, making them a very useful gadget. But Xia Ye's blessing—
That's one of Xia Ye's skills!
A room in an apartment building.
Akemi Miyano stared blankly at the prompts in the log.
When she looked at Xia Ye's identity information again, each skill she saw emitted a golden light.
...... ...... .......
She felt that as long as she confirmed it, she could temporarily acquire this skill.
Should I just choose the Spider's Physical ability? That way, I think I can fight my way out on my own...?
but--
Forget it!
Xia Ye had already made his plans, so I shouldn't disrupt them.
At Xia Ye's villa.
Shiho was holding a pair of black-rimmed glasses without lenses.
"Is this what they call Superman glasses?" Yukiko asked curiously. "Shiho, why don't you try them on?"
"Good~"
Once Shiho got the glasses, he understood how to use them.
With a sudden thought, the glasses became small and elegant in her hands. She put them on and looked at Yukiko.
"How about it?"
"so cute!"
Yukiko's eyes lit up; she wished she could hug Shiho and kiss her.
"Oh my! Now I finally understand why Xia Ye is so obsessed with what you looked like as a child. Tsk, you were way cuter than my Shinichi was as a child!"
"Who asked you that?!"
Shiho rolled her eyes at her speechlessly. "I was asking, did you feel the effect of the glasses? Like, the kind that hides your identity?"
"no!"
Yukiko didn't sense anything unusual.
"failed?"
Shiho took off her glasses and frowned.
“Impossible!” Yukiko analyzed, “This is a product of Natsume’s system, how could it be broken? It’s possible that we are all log holders and the glasses’ functions are not working for us?”
"You try it~" Shiho handed the glasses to Yukiko. Yukiko thought for a moment, and the glasses transformed into a pair of exquisite silver-rimmed glasses in her hands. After putting them on, she asked curiously, "How is it?"
"I don't feel anything, I can still recognize you as a big star!"
"Let's take it out and try it on an ordinary person tomorrow," Yukiko suggested.
"Okay~" (knife)
Chapter 51 Vermouth Came to Japan
"and many more!"
"How come Xia Ye has another identity now?"
Putting down her Superman glasses, Yukiko, who had been preoccupied with discussing the log rewards, noticed the notification that Natsume's identity information had been updated.
"First place in the Japanese Senior National Civil Service Examination?"
"Is this considered a kind of identity?"
"National Civil Service Examination?"
Shiho picked up her phone and searched, then exclaimed in surprise, "The exams just ended yesterday, and the results haven't even come out yet!"
"Xia Ye's system is terrifying!" Yukiko frowned.
"Can the results of such a national-level exam be changed? Isn't that unfair to other candidates?"
"fair?"
Shiho felt like laughing. Yukiko was such a grown-up, yet she was still so naive. "He's already cheating, what do you care about fairness?"
"Right!"
Yukiko cursed herself for overthinking.
This world is inherently unfair. Xia Ye already has the "667" system, so expecting him to be fair is just nonsense!
.....
Shiho's apartment.
Natsume wasn't bothered by Yukiko tonight, so she's full of energy and hasn't gone to sleep yet.
He glanced at the newly added identity notification, ignored it for the time being, and instead turned on his phone.
Monday, September 7th.
Oh, by the way, yesterday was June 7th, which was also a Monday...
He gained a new identity for two consecutive days, which is normally only possible once a week. And believe it or not, this is perfectly reasonable in the world of Detective Conan!
[First Place in Japan's Senior National Civil Service Examination] (Ordinary Status)
Quickly choose a career path to serve the people!
Additional abilities: Determined after choosing a profession.
Identity Mission: You will receive a reward after choosing a profession (once).
This lousy system really knows how to come up with some new tricks!
Xia Ye roughly understood the meaning of this identity. Winning first place in this exam was just a transition. It all depended on where she chose to work. Government agencies, prosecutor's offices, courts, and the Metropolitan Police Department in Japan were probably all options!
Of course, this is practically impossible in reality.
Civil service exams are based on applications for specific positions, so it's impossible for the top scorer in the national civil service exam to not have chosen a position yet.
Of course, with the system cheating now available, Xia Ye is too lazy to bother with it.
But where should we choose?
Xia Ye would never choose a regular job, which is a fixed job. How could he possibly go to work a 9-to-5 job like An Sheng?
Moreover, Japanese civil servants work long hours, so if they go to work, they won't be able to do anything else!
If you work very hard, short-term employment or part-time jobs are possible, but these positions are not good jobs.
After thinking for a while, Xia Ye put the matter aside for the time being and prepared to consider it carefully before making a decision.
..........
Early the next morning.
Kaito Kuroba was already prepared as he entered his apartment.
Xia Ye disguised him as Shiho and then took him away from the apartment.
At the entrance of the institute.
"Brother Roland!"
"Hello, big brother!"
As is customary, the men in black came over to greet Xia Ye first.
"Go ahead and get busy!"
Xia Ye waved her hand, telling them to get lost, then looked at Akara Ryosuke, whose eyes were filled with gossip, and said:
"What's wrong? Any more rumors?"
"Big brother..." Ryosuke Akara leaned closer and whispered furtively, "Brother Gin almost got surrounded by the cops yesterday on a mission, and had to retreat before even completing the mission... Hehe!"
Where did you get this information?
Xia Ye was speechless. It had only been one night, and the news had already reached the research institute. Also, judging from Akara Ryosuke's gloating look, Gin must be unpopular among the lower-level members!
"Big brother, there are some brothers from my training camp at Outpost Two..."
Ryosuke Akara clearly had a strong obsession with gossip, and continued to send information to Natsume, "Brother Gin has been at Outpost Two all night and hasn't left yet!"
"Outpost Two~"
Xia Ye raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly, which was exactly where she had chosen to create an alibi.
Gin is there; I guess I need to think of something to say first.
"I understand, you can go ahead and get busy~" Natsume looked at Akara Ryosuke and gave him a few perfunctory words of reprimand, "Also, you're not allowed to criticize your boss during work hours!"
"yes, Sir!"
.........
Central Laboratory.
After entering, Xia Ye instructed:
"I'm leaving this place to you."
"understand!"
Even in such a dangerous place, Kaito Kuroba remained confident; putting everything else aside, his mental fortitude as a phantom thief is undeniably strong...
"Then I'll-"
"Jingle Bell--"
