I wonder if Tequila would be to your liking? There's one going to be available soon, at the day and location that the Presentation of Mantendo's new game will take place.
Tell me later whether you like it or not.

Capture Tequila.
Aosaginohi : I'm going with you.
Ok.
Aosaginohi : Do you know that the New Game is about NS&VA Duo?
Eh?
Seriously?
Bakeneko : You didn't know?
No… *Sweat Drop*
Bakeneko : Everyone in my School is talking about it.
Bakeneko : White Horse is crying because he can't come to the Event.
Bakeneko : He's wishing that he could meet NS there.
So, are you going to join?
Bakeneko : Oh Right. Sorry, I'm busy that day.
Bakeneko : I got paired up with White Horse for a project.
Bakeneko : I can still come if you want.
Bakeneko : White Horse will be tagging along though.
No.
It's alright.
White Horse will come in the way.
Bakeneko : Ok, I won't come then.
Bakeneko : How are you going to find the Tequila?
Hacking into the CCTV, of course.
Nogitsune : Ah, I'm sorry, I'm busy that day.
Nogitsune : I'm meeting the Iron Man that day
Nogitsune : Maybe he will agree to meet up with Bakeneko.
Gozumaru : You managed to secure an appointment with him?
Nogitsune : Yes, and I can't pass up this opportunity.
Nogitsune : His Tech would help us greatly.
I understand, Nogitsune.
Gozu, Mezu.
I'm going to count on you guys with the CCTV.
Gozumaru : Understood, Daitengu-sama.
You know that you can drop the Sama.
Mezumaru : How are you going to keep track on him?
Once you spot him, I will 'collide' with him.
Trying to catch my fleeing Coins.
Then put a Tracker on him.
Bakeneko : Please be careful, Daitengu.
I will, Bakeneko.
Oh, I will need your Super Plaster for it.
Bakeneko : Okay, I will have Hikari-chan send it over.
Tsukuyomi : Sorry, just got out of the plane.
Tsukuyomi : I'm not in the Country, unfortunately.
Amaterasu : Same here, sorry.
Amanojaku : Just you two then?
Amanojaku : Would you like me to come with you?
No, just the two of us are fine.
Amanojaku : Are you sure?
Aosaginohi : Don't worry, we will be fine.
What Aosaginohi said.
Amanojaku : If you're sure…
Tsukuyomi : We can schedule to go home if you want, you know?
Amaterasu : At the first flight available if needed.
No, thank you.
We're only after Tequila for now.
So just the two of us are enough.
Don't worry.
Amanojaku : Fine.
Nogitsune : Sure.
Tsukuyomi : Ok.
Amaterasu : Okay.
Bakeneko : Have Fun, you two~
Aosaginohi : Hahaha. We will.
We will, for your part too.
Bakeneko : Good!
Mezumaru : We still have some Toys in stock, if you want.
Gozumaru : And we can make some more, if needed.
Thank you, but I still have some Toys left with me.
Aosaginohi : Same here.
Aosaginohi : Oh, but my Gloves are too powerful.
What happened?
Aosaginohi : … I destroyed a whole wall.
Aosaginohi : I just want to create a hole… *Sweat Drop*
Bakeneko : *Whistle* Awesome.
I need to be careful too then.
Mezumaru, can you add some Level setting to the Gloves?
Mezumaru : Like Kotengu's Shoes?
Mezumaru : Sure, I can. Come over, Aosaginohi.
Aosaginohi : Okay :)
Aosaginohi : After the Event though, just in case.
Aosaginohi : Ah, gtg. Bye!
※Aosaginohi left Capture Tequila※

"So…" A 6 years old boy wearing a navy cap began to say in English, "What is the game about again, Mio?" It was Shin Nisei, but he didn't wear his Uniform and Monocle, he wore normal clothes and colored contacts instead - they were Emerald Green.
"About Naito Shin and Violet Angel." Mio - who was actually the Violet Angel - answered him in English as well. She was also wearing normal clothes, but she still wore her black beanie - but with blonde wig this time, and she also wore Emerald Green colored contacts instead of her eye visor. "The players will arrive at some place, discover a corpse, and then solve the case with hints from Naito Shin and Violet Angel." She added after a moment of thought, "Once the case is closed, they will continue to the next location".
They were silent for a while, until they saw the hotel where the Presentation was held.
"Hey, Lio?" Mio began, earning a hum from the boy beside her, "How are we going to gain entry? The place is filled with many gaming professionals".
Lio looked around to confirm that they were alone before answering. "ECP is feeling a bit lazy, so when I asked for his help, he used the opportunity to get us to go as his representatives instead." He explained quietly.
"What are we going to excuse him with though?" Mio sweat dropped.
"Tea time with the Queen." Lio said simply, "You always prioritize the Queen than a mere Company's Event".
"Figures." Mio muttered under her breath.
They got in queue once they entered the hotel, and they met three of the Games Developers there, who chatted with them for a bit - in Japanese though - before noticing that they were running out of time, so they cut in line and got the three numbers in front of the two 'Siblings' - Mio and Lio Michaelis, who had introduced themselves as the Representatives of the Funtom Co. Mio and Lio got the number 100 because of it.
While they chat with some people and answered some basic stuffs about the Funtom Co, his Daitengu phone - yes, he decided to call his Shinichi / Naito Shin phone as Daitengu phone in the end, with his Conan / Shin Nisei phone being Kotengu phone - let out a notification tone.

"Lio, let's try that one!" Mio said excitedly in English once again - to maintain their cover, while pointing at the Punching Game.
"Are you going to imagine Snot's face again?" Lio asked dryly in English as well.
"Of course!" Mio replied as they walked over to the Punching Game, "He thinks that he's such a good flirt, while in reality he's just plain annoying*".
(*AN : I think you can tell who this 'Snot' is, I don't own him or the Fandom he came from by the way.)
One of the Game Developers suggested another Developer named Nakajima to try it, he got 348 Points since he used to do Boxing at University. Mio offered a go next, and she accepted it easily enough after she was told that it was good for relieving Stress and Tension. She got 400 Points, without the use of her Gloves, which made other people either looked amazed or dumbfounded.
Lio declined the offer to have a go, he went to the toilet with Nakajima instead. On the way, he saw Tequila just before they all collided - so he immediately used Sleight of Hand and planted his Spy Mic below his shoe, with the help of a Super Plaster that was created by the Kaitou Kid. He then asked if the 'huge man' was a Game Developer too, but Nakajima said that he haven't seen the man before.
After using the toilet, in which he used the opportunity to turn on his Earphone and Mic, he and Nakajima parted ways. Lio happened to see Tequila exchanged his key to a briefcase that had the same logo to Nakajima's company, and strangely enough, Tequila had the number 98 now - when he should have had number 124. This tipped him off that Tequila had either picked up the wrong key when colliding with Nakajima earlier, or the exchange was purposefully done. This was Tequila he was talking about though, so Lio believed it was the latter.
Pulling out his Daitengu phone, he quickly sent a text message to Mio.
To : Watson, Mezumaru, Gozumaru
I found Nemo, StandLi now. JiC, U too*.
(*AN: For your information: StandLi means Stalking and Listening. JiC is Just in Case. U is You, obviously.)
Seeing that the 'Nemo' - their code for Tequila - went to the telephone stand, Lio went to the nearest sitting area, acting as though he was tired of walking around. What really was going on though, was Lio turned most of his focus to the sound from his Earphone, and he didn't want to walk onto something due to being distracted.
=Yes, it's me, Tequila. The exchange was completed very nicely.=
Bingo. Lio held in a smirk, being careful to only see a bored expression on his face. He also made a mental note to investigate about Nakajima, and interrogated the man if needed.
Silence from Tequila, probably listening on what the person on the other end of the line was saying.
=No, no problems.=
=Pfft… Don't worry, Vodka. I will meet you there this afternoon.=
=Tell Gin as well. See you, Vodka=
Che, he's meeting Gin and Vodka later. Lio thought in annoyance as he saw Tequila walked away, so he stood up to follow the Crow, wondering silently how to capture Tequila without tipping the Crows that they did it.
Turned out, Capture Tequila Mission was a Failure by default. After all, no one could capture a dead man - except maybe if a Supernatural being was capturing the man's Soul instead.
"Lio?" Mio's voice pulled him out of his staring contest to the remaining shoes of Tequila, he looked up to see Mio's concerned expression, "What's happened? Are you alright?".
"I'm alright, Mio." Lio reassured her as he quickly pulled off the Plaster and Spy Mic from the shoe, then put it back down to its original spot exactly like how he found it, "But this is clearly not an accident, call the Polices".
Before Mio could make the call though, they heard the incoming Police Cars already, so they just needed to wait. And while they waited, Lio pulled out his Daitengu phone, telling Gozumaru and Mezumaru to retreat at once. It wasn't long before Megure-keibu and his team entered the toilet to begin the investigation, and Lio listened as the examiners speculated that the bomb was placed next to the door of the toilet that was closest to the window.
"You got here immediately…" Megure-keibu looked at the three Game Developers, "Did you see anyone or anything suspicious?".
They said that they didn't see anything, and soon the Boss told Megure-keibu about the threatening letter he received, but he really thought that it was a prank.
The investigation didn't go anywhere after that, so Lio decided to speak up. "I saw the victim." He announced, causing everyone to look at him - with Mio looking at him in warning.
"Is that true…" Megure began to say, before he finally realized that the boy wasn't the Naito Shin Nisei that he often saw at the crime scenes, "What's your name, boya?".
"Lio. Lio Michaelis." Lio answered him with a short bow, "The victim was 3 meters tall, and I think he's from Kansai." He then looked at Nakajima, "You saw him too, you know?".
"What?" Nakajima asked in confusion.
"We ran into him when we were going to the toilet." Lio told him innocently.
"Oh, him…" Nakajima clearly looked fearful there, "Was it that man?".
"Why do you look fearful?" Lio narrowed his eyes at the man, "You said that you never saw him before, but your reaction now clearly says otherwise".
"Lio!" Mio called out in warning.
Lio closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. "Sorry." He muttered before dropping a smoke bomb, and by the time the smoke cleared, it was Naito Shin Nisei who stood there - surprising everyone.
"Wait, Naito Shin Nisei?" Megure-keibu asked in surprise, before looking at Mio, "Then you would be…?".
With a sigh, Mio dropped a smoke bomb of her own, and she was revealed to be the Violet Angel once the smoke cleared. "Yes, I'm Violet Angel." She confirmed before looking at her Partner, "Why?".
"I'm sorry, but I want to interrogate Nakajima-san." Shin Nisei apologized to her.
"Can't it wait until this whole mess is settled?" Angel asked him in confusion.
"I can't, because he's the center of this mess." Shin Nisei revealed to them.
"What do you mean?" The Inspector asked as everyone else looked either at Shin Nisei or Nakajima, "He's the center of this mess?".
"Please show us your key, Nakajima-san." Shin Nisei demanded softly.
"My key?" Nakajima asked nervously.
"Yes, your key." Shin Nisei repeated calmly, "Please don't make me wear my Mask. I'm annoyed enough as I am now, so please cooperate".
And everyone would clearly know the consequence of making Night Baron Mode appeared, for it often being made the front page of many newspaper every time Naito Shin was angered enough to enter the Night Baron Mode.
"Just show us your key." Koji Ueda - his fellow Game Developer - nudged Nakajima at the ribs, "I have heard about the Night Baron Mode, and I really don't want to summon Naito Shin Nisei's wrath".
Finally, Nakajima relented and pulled out his key, before giving it to Shin Nisei when the Child Detective made a 'give me' motion. "Angel." Shin Nisei called her over, who did as was asked and knelt down so Shin Nisei could whisper to her.
With a nod of her head, Angel took the key from Shin Nisei and went to the Cloak Room to get the briefcase. Upon returning, she silently showed it to them before opening it slowly.
"Ah!" Nakajima ran forward, trying to stop her, but someone else yelled louder than him.
"AAAHHHH!" It was Takeshita, who immediately dove down onto the floor and covering his head.
They looked at him, before returning their attention to the content of the briefcase that Violet Angel allowed to drop to the ground.
"What's this?" Ueda asked Nakajima in bewilderment, "All those money".
"Huh?" Takeshita glanced backward in fearful confusion.
"You have the bomber, Keibu." Shin Nisei told the Inspector as he pointed at Takeshita, before proceeding to explain what he guessed had happened - how Takeshita was planting a bomb in his own briefcase, before switching his key with Nakajima, and then Nakajima exchanged the key with the victim, thinking that it was still his own key, and thus the victim ended up the one getting caught in the explosion.
Takeshita then screamed about how it was Nakajima who was supposed to die, because he killed someone named Yoshimi - the Manager of Boxing Club at their university, even though the girl had committed suicide and wasn't killed.
"Nakajima-san." Shin Nisei tugged the man's pants, making the man looking down at him, "If I were you, I will ask the Polices to protect me".
"W- why?" Nakajima asked in surprise.
"Accidentally or not, you messed up a deal." Violet Angel told him while crossing her arms, "If your business partner is evil, then they would come after you".
"Al- alright." Nakajima nodded in agreement.
With a sigh, Shin Nisei dropped a smoke bomb again, and by the time it was cleared, both Shin Nisei and Violet Angel were nowhere to be seen.

"Is that alright?" Ran asked as she walked alongside Conan back to the Detective Agency, "Not questioning him about where he met our Nemo?".
"It's alright." Conan replied quietly, "They probably would destroy the place as soon as they found out that he has contacted the Polices".
"Back to square one, huh…" Ran muttered unhappily.
"Patience is Virtue." Conan smiled up at her, "Don't let this put you down, okay? We will have another chance".
Ran stared at him for a few seconds, before she smiled as well and nodded. "You're right." She said in agreement, "There will be another chance, we just have to wait and be ready for it".

In this chapter, more Codenames have shown up, even though the identities behind those Codenames are still a mystery. Although, if you think about it, there are some subtle clues within the Chat, so you can easily guess who they are.
Also, in case you're wondering why Seiryu never show up in the Chat, the explanation is in Chapter 8.
Amanojaku is a Youkai that said to be able to provoke a person's darkest desire, and in some stories - like in 'Nurarihyon no Mago', there's a character called Awashima the Amanojaku - Amanojaku is said to be a Male during the day and a Female during the night.
Tsukuyomi is from Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, but I don't know why his name is listed in the list of Youkai even though he is a Moon God in Shinto and Japanese Mythology.
Amaterasu is seen as the Goddess of the Sun and the Universe, and just like in the case of Tsukuyomi, I don't know why her names is listed within the list of Youkai.
Nogitsune is Fox Youkai, just like a Kitsune, but far more dangerous - instead of shape shifting into a human, Nogitsune is said to be possessing the human.
Gozumaru and Mezumaru are two Guardians or types of Guardians of the Underworld in Chinese Mythology, Gozu has an Ox-head while Mezu has a Horse-face. Although in 'Nurarihyon no Mago', these two are the Underlings of Gyuuki the Ox Oni.
I'm really sorry if you got annoyed seeing those App Screening, I just wanted to give you a basic understanding of how the Spy App worked. As you can see, the Spy App had now been Updated, and would still be Updated some more in the future.
Also, if you didn't get it, the little bit I added at the end of the chapter is to imply that the Shadow Hunters would erase everything once it was over, so that there was no evidence could be found in their App system - to prevent hackers from finding out, only if they could penetrate the 'Kaitou Kid Patented Security Program' first though.
Still, they believed to be safe than sorry, thus they deleted everything after it's over, or after 24 Hours passed.
Of course, the Auto Backup is always on, in which everything that had entered the Spy App system would be copied and sent into two Safe Houses - one of Kid and one of Naito Shin - in the correct Chronological order. Once the back up was sent, the trace would erase itself, to prevent any hacker from knowing where the Data had been sent - again, only if they could penetrate the KK Patented Security Program first - making it only Kaito and Shinichi who knew where everything was.
Once again, it was better safe than sorry for them. After all, their Enemies are the Crows.
