Journalist [12]: Ah, as long as I'm far away from Conan, I'm good. So far, I'm having fun working as a reporter hehehe~
Member of the Organization [10]: I want to change my ID! I don't care what it is as long as I don't have to be here. I'm either in the hospital or the training ground and my body hurts so much!
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: If you're willing to trust me, tell me your pseudonym and I'll arrange you for a long term mission after you've been discharged.
Member of the Organization [10]: You can give mission to others???
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: ?
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Do you have some misconceptions of the Winery? Every codename member can order members without a codename. For our missions, we can even use the ordinary members as cannon fodder if you're willing to.
Don't think that only the code members are doing missions in the Winery so there's no ordinary members. Most people in the Winery didn't even know about the behemoth's existence. They only have a single line of contact with a certain codename member or even an ordinary member without a codename.
They'll be asked to do things for money, usually they didn't even know there's a big organisation behind it. Many times, people are pulled inside without knowing how big the organization is.
Even Miyano Akemi is the same. She didn't understand how big the organization is, so she naively thought that they'll release her sister with only one billion yen.
Anyway, not only me, no.7 also has a codename, so he can give orders to you too if you're willing to trust us. Otherwise, it's fine even if you stay there.
Kami Shita [6]: O.o you have such a great understanding of the Black Organization.
Public Security Officer [5]: Most of us who have more contacts with the Black Organization also understood this. In fact, this is also one of the reasons why it's so hard to eliminate this organisation. At least in this game, this is one of the main reasons.
Once their trails are caught in the open, they'll cut it off without hesitation. And many people were nothing more than peripheral members who were not aware of the Black Organization behind them. They only knew that they could earn some money through some illegal yet easy work. Many times, members of the organisation whom we have caught will be assassinated either by people outside or even undercover agents planted inside if they were to know a bit more things.
But the undercover agents don't usually move unless the person they needed to kill is a codename member. Most of the time, their task is just to send information and didn't participate in actions. Ordinary peripheral members didn't have enough information and it's enough to hire other lower ranked members to kill them in prison.
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: And the headquarters is said to be in Japan. Neither me or no. 1 has been in Japan in the past 3 years and I suspect the system did it on purpose.
I myself am not very capable and barely toiling around the missions. The number of missions I took in a year is also not many. Please don't compare me with Bourbon who took on a lot of missions every single time.
I only go to 1 to 3 missions each month unless I was injured. The rest of the time is spent resting, especially after I obtained my codename. I can slack off more.
Public Security Officer [5]: …So much until you're nearly killed by Gin for not doing enough missions in your third year, just two months before the start of the mainline.
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: I can't help it, okay? It was so freaking frustrating that I had to kill people every single time. Even if I reminded myself that I'm playing a game, the gory sight in front of me seems to always remind me of how real this game is!
Anyway, that's why my rank hasn't increased much and I'm on the verge of being punished repeatedly. But if it's about sending lower ranked members for missions, I can do it too. Just tell me what kind of missions you want to do.]
They were all silent for a while.
After all, some of them did treat this as a game and didn't have much thoughts about it. But for those who have survived for 3 years in their respective positions, it was difficult.
This 'game' is too real.
These people on the red side are also trying to maintain their mentality straight. As for the one on the black side…
[Doctor [9]: I'll be honest, I only had one contact line when I was undercover in the FBI from the Black Organization and his codename was Bacardi, someone who didn't appear in the original Conan story or maybe will appear in the future timeline.
Since I'm in the US, I assume he's under Rum and just like any other intelligence Personnel, he never appears in person, not even when I asked him to.
He'll only come to me when he needs something and I have to deliver it to him. In return, I can get a lot of money… *beep* I forgot about those things. When I go to the US, I'll pick them up.
Anyway, my knowledge of the Black Organization is definitely very shallow. Aside from the fact they never cared whether I'll be found or not, they never actually paid attention to me and I lived a relatively peaceful life.
High School Student [2]: I died before staying for long in the organization and it's only because of my ability that I know a lot of codenames that have been used.
But I have never actually seen them (shrug.jpg)
And if I have to be honest, it's not very pleasant to be forced to do things I don't want to. Especially when I was asked to save a codename when I'm only a weak intelligence Personnel that ended up with me being killed.
Kami Shita [6]: Thanks to you, I was also implicated.
High School Student [2]: Sure~
Kami Shita [6]: Tsk.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Basically, without the comic, our knowledge of the Black Organization is actually very shallow. If there's anyone who understands more, it'll be no. 7 and no. 1 who has been going undercover for a long time.
Corrupted FBI [8]: Tsk. I have some dealings with them. Secretly, of course. But they know how to force others to follow through what they want.
If money is not enough, then they'll start with coercion and threats. When it's not enough, it'll end up in death. I have the privilege to watch some of their work and it's disgusting. Unfortunately, I don't have information to share aside from telling you that I met with Tokaji.
But the last time I met him was more than 6 months ago. Who knows what happened to him now.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Tokaji is dead. I tried to capture him around 3 months ago before the mainline started, but he committed suicide before I succeeded.
Corrupted FBI [8]: … No. 1, let's have a competition for real.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: No, just shooting competition. I don't want to kill you.
Corrupted FBI [8]: Tsk. Why can't I be the one to kill you?
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Are you sure you have skills above 100 points?
Corrupted FBI [8]: …
Corrupted FBI [8]: Sniping battle.
Corrupted FBI [8]: And Vice Leader, we have a second Akai Shuichi here.
Public Security Officer [5]: I can see that.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Don't compare me with him.
Corrupted FBI [8]: You don't like him?
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: No
Corrupted FBI [8]: Then we agreed on the same thing. Let's have a double against him next.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Sure
Public Security Officer [5]: Wait! You two! Don't weaken the red party side!!!]
While the conversation did get lighter, why the hell are these two people started talking about beating up Akai Shuichi?
What crime did he commit to make you two hate him so much?
Also, no. 1, you have already nearly killed Furuya Rei before and now you want to fight Akai Shuichi. Are you not afraid those two will cooperate and beat you up first???
No. 5 felt deeply how miserable it is to have talented yet troublesome subordinates.
No, one of them is his leader.
No. 5: "..." I really can't stand this leader.
[High School Student [2]: Well, with newfound information, I become increasingly certain that it's better for me to stay away from the mainline, especially if one didn't have enough abilities. Anyway, I have a more important question… Is the monetary reward from the Black Organization so rich that you can say 1 billion yen is just???
Serial Killer [3]: That's the more important thing???
Megumi Aiko [4]: Tsk, no. 2 don't tell me you want to defect.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Depends on what mission you're taking. The reward for every mission is different. Don't ask me for money, though. I have used up more than 99% of the money I received.
Kami Shita [6]: Wow! Even more ruthless than the Winery Spendthrift sister duo!
Doctor [9]: You should say it's Winery Sisters triplets from now on hahaha!
Artist [11]: You'll make me tempted to join the Winery tsk, tsk, tsk.
Member of the Organization [10]: … I don't have any money and can only afford instant noodles everyday!!!
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: The money is quite generous. I earn a few millions yen yearly from working in the Winery even though I often slacked off and usually spend it to buy weapons. But you really need to have a life to enjoy it. Even with my skills and talent, I almost died several times in the past three years.
