Chapter 526 Bar Collection
Qi Ming felt he was really lucky.
He was planning to catch people on the street, but now the guinea pig has come to him on its own.
Karasuma Renya was silent for a moment before answering.
“…Okay, then I’ll choose to attack.”
Without much preamble or asking Qi Ming why he chose the offensive side, Karasuma Renya directly accepted Qi Ming's suggestion.
That's what smart people and seasoned veterans are like; once someone tells them a solution, they'll never ask why.
A few seconds later, after Karasuma Renya made his choice, he sent another reply.
“I received a text message on my phone asking me to meet at a bar at 8 p.m. tonight as a support member of Lupin III.”
"tonight?"
Qi Ming raised an eyebrow.
Otherwise, how come others haven't caught them after so long? They simply had several extra days to prepare.
"Okay! I've also chosen the attacking side. Send me the bar location later, and I'll go there too."
"no problem."
The phone hangs up.
Only after Karasuma Renya sent the location to Qi Ming did he realize that something was wrong.
After participating in the activity, won't the location be sent to your phone?
Why would Qi Ming ask him for his address?
Karasuma Renya deduced the answer after a moment of thought.
Qi Ming probably didn't choose the offensive side, but rather the lone wolf or the defensive side, right?
Is he here to extract information?
"Are you going to the Sand City Battle at 8 PM tonight? The attacking team will be gathering tonight."
Qi Ming hung up the phone and looked at Ai Haibara, asking a question.
"You can also scout out the enemy's situation while you're at it, Shiho Miyano."
"...Don't call me that, and besides, even if I said I didn't want to go, you would still force me to go, right?"
Ai Haibara rolled her eyes at Qi Ming.
This guy is always quite polite; he even knows to ask others for help when he needs something.
"Who said that? If you don't want to go, then you don't have to go."
"...Okay, fine?"
"You said it yourself, I didn't force you."
At that moment, Shinichi Kudo also came out of the restroom.
I don't know what he did in there, or what he ate.
The young man still had a smile on his face.
Fortunately, he came out late; otherwise, he would have probably questioned his existence after hearing Qi Ming's voice on the other end of the phone.
Why does the voice on the other end of the phone sound so much like Karasuma Renya?
"What good luck."
Shinichi Kudo stretched and couldn't help but sigh.
It's really great to have a son of an official by your side; Hattori Heiji has already helped him get into the team.
Although Heiji's father was an official in Osaka, the system is a closed circle, and there are always people in it.
"..."
Suddenly, I thought of Noah's Ark.
Shinichi Kudo shook his head, a fighting spirit igniting in his eyes.
He wanted to see if Lupin and his gang were as impressive as they claimed.
……
At 19:30 p.m., night had already fallen.
On an unnamed street, a blue sports car slowly pulled up to a stop at the side of the road.
Qi Ming sat in the driver's seat, his gaze falling on the bar across the street through the car window.
The sign was filled with light pollution, and the name on the plaque matched the one Karasuma Renya had given him.
"This is the bar."
Qi Ming got out of the car and couldn't help but sigh.
"Golden Harbor, the next life... Whenever I think of gatherings, the first place that pops into my mind is always a bar."
"I wouldn't mind if it were a fancy bar, but this bar isn't even as big as my bedroom in my castle."
"..."
Ai Haibara also got out of the car, but didn't respond to Qi Ming's complaints.
Not only did she not respond, she didn't even speak to Qi Ming, and walked towards the bar entrance with her hands behind her back and a cold expression.
The little girl is a bit sullen right now.
After all, she originally wanted to revert to being a big loli after leaving Professor Agasa's place.
Then she discovered...
It seems that after signing up for that event, until the event ended.
She can never go back to being herself.
I'm unhappy, extremely unhappy.
What a ridiculous event with so many restrictions! I shouldn't have told Qi Ming about this event in the first place!
"The bar isn't even open yet. Why aren't these people coming at the right time... Ugh, what can you see right now? Do you have any event information or anything?"
Looking through the bar's glass window, Qi Ming asked Ai Haibara a question.
In fact, this should be the first time those people have been involved in the event.
Why are they all so calm? Why didn't they all come early to wait for the door to open?
"What could I possibly see? This is just an ordinary bar, and I didn't even choose this side, how would I know?"
Ai Haibara crossed her arms and said calmly. She squinted at the chain on the bar door, stood on tiptoe, and reached out to grab the chain with both hands.
Click——
The chains were torn apart by Ai Haibara's outstretched little hands.
Ai Haibara gave a soft snort and pushed open the door, walking straight in.
"Why worry so much? Just go in, won't you?"
"...6."
Qi Ming always felt that Ai Haibara had learned some of his good qualities.
However, perhaps because she is currently in a bad mood, she probably wouldn't do this normally.
The lights in the bar turned on automatically, and Ai Haibara sat at the bar, her face resting on her hand, looking at her phone with a bored expression.
Qi Ming treated the place like his own home, stuffing bottles into his backpack one after another.
About five minutes later, the sound of an engine roaring could be heard from the street outside the bar.
Qi Ming peered over and saw four people getting out of a convertible on the side of the street.
Three men and two women.
One of the men looked like a monkey, wearing a red suit, and walked towards the bar with a hunched back.
He was extremely thin, a skinny monkey.
The other two men, one of whom was also wearing a suit, but in black and white.
He was wearing a tall hat, so his face was obscured. His figure was extremely thin, like a man who looked like a monkey.
Greyhound.
The last person had messy, medium-length hair, an open white shirt, and a bandage wrapped around his abdomen—a classic samurai outfit.
He had a Toyako sword—no, it should be called a Zantetsu sword—tucked at his waist.
He was also extremely thin.
It's still a greyhound.
If size could represent combat strength in this world, then the woman among the four would probably be the strongest.
After all, the size in a certain area is indeed quite large.
The four people who came were none other than the main NPCs for this event.
Lupine III, Daisuke Jigen, Goemon Ishikawa and Fujiko Mine.
The four of them chatted as they walked toward the bar.
"Do you think that client is crazy? They clearly said they'd entrusted this matter to us, but they still insisted on sending more people over?"
"It's probably for surveillance purposes."
"Tsk, does that guy think I'm going to tell the police? What a waste of his time."
"Forget it, didn't he say whether he needed us or not? We'll just make things difficult for the people he sent and get rid of them."
