Looking out of the window of Erins now home office on the second floor, Conan is reminded once again, how little time actually went by. It hat has only been two months since he got reincarnated, but he already feels more at home in this life than his last. - Giacomo Girolamo Casanova is dead. Long life Conan Casanova.!-
Looking at the silver magic cube constantly moving, Conan remembers how he destroyed the original one when testing out his limits. After the one-week adjustment period, the strength behind his power multiplied many times over. Because of the original one destroyed, Ai consulted with Agasa to create a sturdier magic cube out of titanium and with numbers instead of colors.
Said cube now floats above Conan's right hand as he remembers all the changes that took place the last few days. With Erin having gone back to her work as a lawyer, Ran once again attending school and Ai working with Agasa, he is essential left alone to his own devices for the first time since having accepted his identity as Conan Casanova.
Just like himself, the manor also received a great deal of change since the renovations have concluded just yesterday an today the cook, a man named Emanuel, a fellow Italian, despite Conan's new ethnicity being Asian. Aside from being a superb cook able to make both western as well as Asian dishes, Emanuel is also totally gay.
-As if I would let a straight man living with me and my beauties... I don't plan on playing matchmaker with my lovers like in my last life.- Moving from Erins office through wide double doors, Conan enters their bedroom, the crown jewel of the room to him at least is the large 10m×10m special order Emperor sized bed, more than enough room for more than ten people to sleep on. Remembering yesterday's christening of the bed by Erin, Ran, him and Ai, Conan makes a painfully smile, remembering His rejection of joining them. In the end, he had heard her masturbating while spying on him, Ran and Erin.
Thinking of Ai, Conan remembers having to remodel most of the basements vine cellar to make room for her laboratory. From high tech to high-cost the girl got everything she wanted. Thinking about having spent 2.5 million just on her equipment alone, the pain of her refusal to part take in their nightly activities as well as her not wanting to change to a more mature form, Conan can't stop himself from being angry at her.
After Ais laboratory, the second most expensive remodeling job had been turning the gym into a private dojo for Ran. With 500k it was many times less expensive than Ais laboratory, but many times more bothersome.
Shaking his head not wanting to think any further on his currently high spending, Conan looks into his latest obsession, the internet.
Thinking about what he knows from the manga about his enemy, Conan can't really believe the mangas ending. He got it, that the original Shinichi and Ran would end up getting married but what he couldn't accept was the idea of the organization just disbanding. Comparing the scale of the organization, he would neither believe nor accept that it just ended. Not even the great Roman Empire just ended, because it's downfall was a development of several hundreds of years.
-I will have to get into the organization to comprehend it's full scale.- Conan thinks to contemplate how he could do that. Researching into the fields he knows the organization to be involved with, he starts formulating a plan to learn more about the organization. The more he learns, the more he figures out the organizations Achilles heel, that mainly being its funding.
-No organization big or small can go without it. Large amounts of money are key.- Checking out the internet Conan reads up on investment opportunities in the fields the organization is active in.
Under the alias Jacques Farussi, he becomes an investor
Conan becomes an investor, buying stakes in many companies he suspects to be related to the organization. The alias is a combination of an alias he used in his last life and his last life mothers maiden name. Jacques from his pen name Jacques Casanova and Ferussi from his mother Zanetta Farussi.
Investing 2/3 of his remaining capital, he expects it to come back to him with massive returns. Enjoying the added bonus of being able to spy on the companies easy as an investor, Conan can't stop himself from praising the internet and modern finances. With the click of a button, the instantly receives information of a companies properties, factories or even personnel.
Checking out the market, Conan finds the rare opportunity of investing in a failing company, Suzuki Motor Corporation to be more precise. Despite not remembering the organization getting involved in the automobile industry, Conan invests in it heavily by investing 50 million into it.
Sitting at the laptop, deeply immersing himself into the material and finer details of what he just bought, Conan isn't aware of Ai, who just walked in. Staring at Coman work, the woman turned the girl, can't stop herself from looking at the boy.
Both as a person, and as a research subject, even as a potential lover or husband, Ai is more than just intrigued by him. Having seen his godly technique in satisfying his lovers as well as his stamina, Ai is sure that not all of it is the result of drugs.
Observing Conan's behavior, Ai finds many obvious 'old man' gestures in his movements like deep frowning or rubbing an in his case imaginary beard. Thinking about it, Ai realizes, that she herself also has such subtle tell signs showing off her true age. Just like Conan, she isn't showing any childish or what could be classified as childlike behavior in her movement's or gestures.
After observing Conan for a few more minutes Ai finally comments. ''Oh, please stop it...'' Finding Conan looking at her with a surprised and questioning face, Ai explains. ''... You act like an old man while looking like a child. How is anybody supposed to believe that you are just a normal child?''
''I don't know what you mean...'' Conan tells her, returning his attention back to the screen in front of him before rumbling. ''... now bugger off and don't disturb me further. I have some very important investigations to make.''
Getting angry cause of being ignored by a boy one year younger than herself, Ai standing behind the laptop, slammed it shut. Grasping surprise and anger himself Conan eyes the girl with contempt.
''What do you want?...'' He says rolling his eyes. ''... I have business to attend to.''
''It can't be more important than all our security...'' States Ai, glaring at him with righteous anger. ''... With all I mean You, Me, Erin, Ran and my sister.''
Looking down on her Conan asks with a raised eyebrow. ''Your point being?''
''Our cover is falling apart...'' Explains Ai. ''... Neither your nor I act like children. You even behave like an old man...''
-I am an old man you undisciplined and ungrateful bitch!- Thinks Conan while listening to her explanation.
''... If the organization figures out who you really are, that the two of us are in contact and that you have a still unknown superpower, they will start hunting us. It would be inevitable that they get us. I can a sure you, Dr. Franks breeding experiments can be considered human in contrast to what the organization does to us than.''
Huffing proudly, Ai concludes her argument, now looking expectedly at him. Thinking about it, Conan finds it indeed disturbing how much he still behaves like an old man.
''What is your solution for it?...'' He asks her, once again rubbing his imaginary beard. ''... I assume you already have one?''
Nodding Ai says. ''Naturally, but I don't think you will like it...''
''Tell me and let me be the judge of that.'' Comments Conan, dismissing Ais deduction.
''Well, okay...'' Says Ai, suddenly smiling at him. ''... we will have to go to elementary school!''
