Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

The next morning, after a busy night, Koji Shimizu was the first one to get up in the family. Naturally, it was his responsibility to prepare breakfast.

Fortunately, breakfast is just toast and milk, which are foods that don’t require much preparation, otherwise Koji Shimizu would have a headache.

Koji Shimizu squeezed blueberry peanut jam on the toast and was about to take a bite himself when suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

I took out my cell phone and saw the caller was: Vermouth.

Koji Shimizu raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised. It seemed that Vermouth's ability to act was much faster than he had imagined. Only two days had passed.

"Moshimoshi, is there any progress so soon?"

"No, I just wanted to tell you that Ireland is back."

"Oh? Ireland?"

Koji Shimizu was a little confused. He was not unfamiliar with the name, but he was surprised that Vermouth would call him specifically to inform him about this.

"Why? Was he transferred back specifically to deal with us?"

"That's not the case. He came back this time just to find someone."

Vermouth deliberately kept it a secret, and Shimizu Koji ate his breakfast without any hurry, "Who is it? Is it related to us?"

"Well, that's about right. Remember Pisco?"

Vermouth on the other end of the phone mentioned another special code name. This time, it took Koji Shimizu a while to remember that it was the unlucky old man who was shot to death by him in the back.

"It's him."

"Yes, now that I think about it, it was you who did it, so I called you to let you know. Ireland has always respected Pisco as his own father, and he came back this time to find the murderer and avenge his father."

Vermouth paused, as if she remembered something, and sneered. Just as Shimizu Koji was about to ask, she took the initiative to say, "Speaking of which, Ireland had a big argument with Gin on the phone this morning about this matter. He once thought that it was Gin who did it. After all, Gin's reputation in the organization is not very good at all."

"Oh, there is such a thing. It sounds interesting. I thought everyone else in the organization was afraid of that Gin guy."

"Hehe, you are an exception, aren't you? They are afraid of Gin probably because they don't want to be targeted by that guy. Come to think of it, I didn't know before that Kiel is actually a member of the CIA. It's really unexpected that he used his father's life as a token of his loyalty to gain the trust of the organization."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Kiel is ours now. Don't say this in front of her to provoke her."

Koji Shimizu still has some headaches about Vermouth's personality. Although this Thousand-Faced Witch is now working for him, the witch character in her bones has not been restrained at all.

But after thinking about it, Shimizu Koji continued, "Since Ireland is coming for me, just leave him to me. Find a reason to assign him a mission and notify me later."

Vermouth on the other end of the phone couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard this. She had originally just given a reminder to show her loyalty, but she didn't expect that Shimizu Koji was really planning to take action.

You know, even Gin and she didn't find out that Shimizu Koji killed Pisco, and it would be impossible for Ireland to find out even if she was given ten years.

It seems that Shimizu Koji is more careful than she thought - eyes? It seems that she has to be more careful too.
"Okay, I see."

After hanging up the phone, Shimizu Koji was not affected at all. For him now, the organization's affairs were almost not worth mentioning. As for Ireland, he was not doing it for himself, but for an agreement with someone. Even if Ireland didn't come to him, he would go to Ireland sooner or later.

He made several sandwiches one by one, and then placed them on the dining table together with hot milk. Looking at this rare breakfast he made, Koji Shimizu actually felt a sense of accomplishment.

He even arranged several sandwiches in the same exact way, and would correct any mistake. Koji Shimizu didn't know what he was thinking, but as long as he didn't do that, he would feel uncomfortable, and his work would not be perfect.

Finally, after ten minutes of arranging the dishes, Koji Shimizu finally went upstairs and called everyone down.

Unfortunately, neither Yukiko, Akemi, nor Ai noticed the effort and sweat that Shimizu Koji put into preparing this breakfast. They just sat down and started eating, which made Shimizu Koji feel lost.

The three of them took a bite each. Mingmei's eyes lit up first, and she praised Shimizu Koji: "Koji, it tastes great!"

"Not bad~." This is Yukiko. Her expression is indifferent, but at least she gives a positive attitude.

But when it came to the last Huihara Ai, after taking a bite, she didn't even raise her eyelids and casually commented: "Just barely~."

Hearing this, Shimizu Koji's eyelids jumped, and he snatched the sandwich from Huihara Ai's hand, "Don't eat it if you can't bear it."

Whether it was Akemi, Yukiko, or Haibara Ai herself, they were all frightened by Kōji Shimizu.

But then, Yukiko and Akemi both covered their mouths and laughed. Haibara Ai looked at Shimizu Koji, and a strange look gradually appeared in her confused eyes.

"Ah, you are indeed a high school boy with a strong sense of self-esteem. It seems that even someone is not immune to this~."

"But I didn't say I didn't want to eat it, give it back to me."

She stretched out her little hand. Although Haibara Ai was small, it didn't mean she didn't have any aura. At least she looked so righteous and asked for food that Shimizu Koji couldn't bear to refuse her.

“Don’t waste food.”

Shimizu Koji frowned and handed the sandwich back to Haibara Ai.

The corners of Haibara Ai's mouth curled up, but she didn't say anything else. She could still feel and liked Shimizu Koji's feelings, she just instinctively acted tough for a while, but she unexpectedly discovered another side of Shimizu Koji, which was an unexpected gain.

"Koji is so cute~~."

"Hey, Sister Mingmei, that's not what you said last night."

Koji Shimizu was a little embarrassed, but he did not give in. His words not only made Miyano Akemi, who was teasing him, blush, but also made Yukiko and Haibara Ai blush and they all gave him a cold look.

"A high school boy whose head is full of dirty trash." Huibara Ai complained coldly.

"Heh, an elementary school that likes meowing—ugh!"

Haibara Ai stood up from her seat and stuffed the bread into Shimizu Koji's mouth.
