After today's concert, Ren took the Miyano sisters home.
The two returned to their own rooms.
They felt good about the concert they had attended all afternoon, though the only slight issue was that the main act started more than an hour late.
"Hmm~ Starting tomorrow, I'll need to properly cultivate in the villa."
Shiho hadn't forgotten that she needed to act as a Planter. Especially after learning that the subsequent Sequence involved species hybridization, which was even more suitable for her, she became genuinely interested.
Hybridization of plants and animals.
Just thinking about it made the experiment seem exciting.
Akemi glanced at her younger sister's enthusiasm and sighed helplessly.
"Shiho, don't forget, Lord god said to be careful with that, and not to actually create strange species."
"Oh, big sister, you're thinking too far ahead."
Shiho felt her sister placed too much confidence in her.
"I'm only Sequence 9 now. How could I reach the level the god mentioned so quickly?"
For now, all she needed to focus on was advancing as a Planter.
As for what came afterward, she could only think about it once she entered Sequence 8.
After joking, Shiho rolled over on her bed and suddenly looked at her sister.
"Big sister, do you like Lord god?"
Akemi froze slightly at those words, then looked at her. She thought about how her sister was now eighteen and had matured early because of the organization's affairs, so it was indeed time to face such questions.
"Shiho, you can think about it this way.
Someone who saved you from a den of demons, sheltered you, gave you freedom, provided everything you never had before, and even gave you power that everyone desires but cannot obtain. Would you not care? Would you not like him?"
Shiho considered it, then shook her head slightly.
"It's impossible not to care.
Even just this one thing, the god taking us out of that den of demons, is something we'll never forget for our entire lives."
For this reason alone, the god's place in her heart could not be moved an inch.
That diary was, for the sisters, more about establishing a deeper connection with Ren. As for the benefits they gained from it, they knew those also came from him.
He had given them power, given them freedom, and let them escape the oppression and pursuit of the organization.
"Not only that, but Lord god gave us not just safety, but also respect.
He never treated us as his property."
This statement was a little exaggerated, but Shiho said it directly.
Akemi, however, felt no dissatisfaction. She knew it was true.
"He gave us so much help, and enough respect, without ulterior motives, treating us like ordinary people.
Maybe that's part of his personality and habits, but I think this can also be called virtue.
Besides, the god's relationships with others are so complicated, yet he has never hidden anything, especially from Officer Sato, whom we met after the concert.
In such a situation, what girl wouldn't like him?"
Akemi nodded slightly in agreement.
Meeting someone who had helped them so much and arranged so much for them, perhaps they would not fall in love immediately, but at least they would feel the thought of giving everything in return.
"Lord god is not someone who wastes his energy casually.
And he has never wanted anyone to develop feelings for him out of repayment. In this regard, he is still traditional."
Indeed, traditional.
Shiho also felt that in this aspect, the god seemed like an omnipotent deity, yet more like an introverted boy.
"So, no matter for what reason, it's fine to continue staying by his side.
When we truly fall in love with him, I think he will accept us."
At this moment, Akemi had only this thought.
"I understand, big sister."
After understanding her sister's perspective, Shiho had no further questions.
Because she herself felt the same way.
At this time, Ren did not know about the conversation between the sisters. He was not someone who liked to pry into others' lives.
He opened his diary, took up a pen, and began to write today's entry.
[After school, today was the concert I had arranged with Miyano Akemi.]
[I took some time to learn about Two-Mix and understood that they are a self-composed and self-performed group. Arriving at the venue, I could really feel how many fans they had and how many people had come.]
[I originally thought it would just be a special experience, but I didn't expect to see those four, the Junior Detective League, in the park outside.]
[As I expected, the moment I saw Edogawa Conan, he was bound to be caught up in trouble. This time was no exception.]
[The person he bumped into was likely one of the stars of this concert, Takayama Minami.]
[The collision of those two was bound to affect the concert.]
[With that in mind, the Miyano sisters and I followed behind to observe.]
[The result was as expected. She was kidnapped right in front of so many people.]
[Naturally, the concert would be delayed.]
[At first, I didn't want to interfere, but Shiho was right. There was no need to let an accident ruin a rare concert.]
[So I performed a small divination.]
[The kidnapping was indeed for money, but not from ransoming the two celebrities. It was for money stolen in a bank robbery the previous year.]
[The two celebrities were truly unlucky. While seeking inspiration, they had recorded the murder at Shengyuan Temple during New Year. The recording clearly revealed the culprit.]
[Even more unfortunate, the two robbers also learned of this. Those two were truly cursed with bad luck.]
