Miyano Shiho took a deep breath and continued, "Although I am not entirely clear on the mechanism of this solution, I can say for certain that resurrection is impossible."
At this point, Miyano Shiho cast a cautious glance at Gin. Seeing that Gin did not lash out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Young scientist regained her composure: "Although I don't know how you resurrected Ms. Shiratori, but.."
"I will never reveal the secret within to you," Gin said indifferently.
His voice was not heavy, yet it carried an air of indisputability.
Miyano Shiho did not feel frustrated by this; she simply shook her head slightly. "I have no intention of knowing."
I want to ask a favor of you.. Please, do not reveal this Secret to the outside world.
—This was what she truly wanted to beg Gin for.
..
Gin told her, "You know the value of Silver Bullet."
That's right, Miyano Shiho certainly knew.
She was different from the righteous and "naive" detective; having grown up within the Black Organization since childhood, she possessed a much deeper understanding of human nature. She knew the value of a Silver Bullet, she knew the value of APTX4869.
It was a value significant enough to erase all of her past criminal history.
As a primary Researcher for APTX4869, Miyano Shiho knew all too well how many sacrifices had been made. Even she had been dragged into it, living in constant fear.
She did have regrets.
In fact, the more she spent time with Conan and the others, the more she experienced the care and protection of others, the more she opened her heart, the more she regretted it.
Kudo Shinichi, Mori Ran, Professor Agasa..
Yoshida Ayumi, Round Valley Mitsuhiko, Genta..
They were all so clean, so bright, that they made her yearn for it every moment, while simultaneously reminding her of her disgraceful past.
There are many excuses to justify oneself. For example, that it was the Black Organization's coercion, for example, that she grew up in the Black Organization, for example, that she had lost her freedom and had no choice..
But what meaning do these reasons have?
She is Miyano Shiho, she is Haibara Ai.
She was also the former Sherry of the Black Organization.
The solution experiments have killed one person after another, she is not unaware of the cost; the daily expenses run into the thousands, she is the leader of the research.
These are all facts, blood-stained facts.
She did not want to make excuses.
Miyano Shiho had once lost a lot, now, her Sister had returned. Just as Miyano Akemi wanted to protect her Sister, Miyano Shiho also wanted to protect her Sister.
She wanted to stop.
“I know,” she said.
Miyano Shiho's eyes were very clear, just as her heart remained soft despite having once been a member of the Black Organization.
I have been prepared for this for a long time.
His voice held a sense of calm, not the helplessness of someone resigned to their fate, but rather a willing tranquility.
She had long been prepared, long prepared for the Trial, long prepared for imprisonment.
If the law could let her go, she would be grateful; if she were to eventually go to prison to face the punishment she deserved, she would not hold a grudge.
But.. that solution should not continue.
That solution, which used blood and human lives as feed, should not be continued.
If she were forced to continue researching this solution, it would likely be an even more terrifying thing for Miyano Shiho.
Then—" Gin said unhurriedly, "Where is your sister?
Miyano Akemi's status within the Black Organization was far below her sister's.. however, she had still once been a member of the Black Organization.
Robbing ten billion yen was the last time, but it wasn't the first.. although it was far less serious than that robbery.
Thinking of this, Miyano Shiho's body stiffened, a hint of weakness seeped into her eyes..
However—
“I feel the same way.”
The woman's voice was gentle and beautiful, carrying a serene smile. She turned her head to look at her sister, her eyes filled with tolerance and determination.
"I am the same," she said firmly.
Some things.. are probably passed down through the bloodline.
..
Gin turned her head to look at the two sisters before her, who seemed fearless, felt a hint of amusement in her heart.
At first, he actually didn't like the Miyano sisters very much.
He was Interested, but he Really did not like them.
As time passed bit by bit, the Miyano sisters struggled and grew within the Black Organization, gradually finding their footing; the hardships and pain they endured were beyond words. This also caused Gin to develop a certain level of appreciation for the two sisters.
However, when he learned the Truth of Shiratori Midori's death, that appreciation turned into hatred.
Gin knew this was Venting anger.
But he could not help but vent anger.
The Miyano sisters are merely his colleagues at best, nothing more than optional acquaintances; but Shiratori Midori is one of his few friends. Even though Sherry holds an exalted position within the Black Organization, in his eyes, she cannot even compare to a single Finger of Shiratori.
So he couldn't help but vent anger.
A man does not kill her friend, yet the friend dies because of her.
However, after all the grudges and complexities, after so many years have passed, after he overturned B. W, now that Shiratori Midori has already awakened.. it seems it no longer matters much.
Back then, Shiratori also realized the truth; back then, it would have been easy for Shiratori to kill the Miyano sisters to accompany them in death.
Shiratori Midori's hands were covered in blood. She was not exactly a bad person, but she never claimed to be a good one either—soft-hearted people cannot survive in the Black Organization; even Miyano Akemi would resort to robbery for the sake of her sisters' freedom.
But even in moments of extreme despair and mental instability, Shiratori did not kill the Miyano sisters—the daughters of the couple who indirectly caused her tragedy—to die with her. Or rather, to take them down with her.
Perhaps she really thought so, but in the end, she didn't do it.
And by a twist of fate, Gin did not strike.. he even went out of her way to let Miyano Akemi off the hook.
So.. now that everything has settled down.. Gin has no need to go out of her way to make things difficult for the Miyano sisters.
Anyway, those who directly caused all this are either dead or crippled.. As for those who were indirectly involved..
Ahem, as for him, the grudge between Shiratori Midori and Miyano would entirely depend on Shiratori Midori's decision. If Shiratori Midori wanted revenge, he would naturally oblige; but if Shiratori Midori had no such intention, then he would not meddle.
After all, they were no longer youths.
Gin blinked and gave a definite answer: "I won't tell anyone."
Anyway, he had no intention of telling them in the first place; using this to make the Miyano sisters owe him a favor was a win-win deal.
But—" Gin paused, then continued, "The Silver Bullet research materials are not only in my hands.
"It's fine." Miyano Shiho shook her head.
She gently curled the corners of her lips, revealing her first smile of the day: "As long as it isn't something that can bring about a resurrection, then it's fine."
As long as the solution is not something that can cause 'Resurrection'.. then at least there is still room for negotiation in all of this.
Of course." At this point, Miyano Shiho's tone gained a hint of relaxation. "It couldn't anyway.
At this moment, she really did seem like a sly girl.
..
The meal was enjoyed by both the host and the guests.
The sisters seemed to have relaxed; although they were still somewhat restrained in front of Gin, they no longer felt as terrified as they had at the beginning.
Gin hesitated for a moment, in the end, he did not bring up the suggestion he had intended to make.
Actually, maintaining the persona of "Haibara Ai" for Miyano Shiho.. wouldn't be a bad idea.
Edogawa Conan longed to return to his original self, because Kudo Shinichi had his own life and people he cared about; his life, after all, should be "normal."
But for Miyano Shiho, growing up again while maintaining the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old might not necessarily be a bad thing. After all, the majority of her bonds were established as Haibara Ai, Miyano Shiho's most important Sister would clearly be able to accept her change.
And, for the current Miyano Shiho, the identity of a child is absolutely more beneficial than detrimental.
Setting aside everything else, even if she really went to court, wouldn't the jury take a Child into consideration?
It's just that..
Gin glanced at the expression on the Miyano sisters' faces and ultimately swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue.
Forget it.
This.. seems not bad either.
Anyway, they were already prepared.
Moreover, when it truly comes time for a "trial," there are still many uncertain factors.
..
Takao Haruki's speed was incredible; in just three days, she joyfully announced that she was about to set off.
When he learned of this, Gin was playing a game; he glanced sideways at a notification in the message bar, his hand jerked, nearly getting his teammate killed.
Fortunately, Gin's skill level was up to par; after only a brief pause, he calmly opened fire (in the game) to hit a monster, perfectly covering up his previous mistake and even earning a wave of Points. His Teammate beside him was enthusiastically spammed a string of 66666 for him, completely unaware that he had almost met a disastrous end just now.
Gin silently accepted it all, then his fingers tapped the keyboard with ease, controlling the movement of the Small character on the Game interface to launch a sneak attack on the Enemy from a blind spot. Caught off guard by the attack and lacking Gin's exquisite skill, the Enemy was smoothly taken down, resulting in a kill.
The match ended quickly. Only after the victory subtitles appeared on the screen did Gin close the game, turning his attention instead to the dialog box that had been neglected for so long.
The Silver-haired man calmly typed a line of text on the keyboard: 【I won't come to pick you up.】
Soon, a reply from Hell Puppeteer came through the dialog box: 【I wasn't expecting you to pick me up anyway, I was just letting you know.】
Gin: ……
Are you just looking for trouble?!
