Gin doesn't want to work hard

"Turn around and go inside."

Kurosawa paused, instinctively looking around, and as expected, spotted a hidden camera.

Is the boss spying on him?

But why?

Has his secret embezzlement been discovered?

Kurosawa discreetly hid the bag behind his back and turned to walk towards the safe house as if nothing had happened.

The boss quickly hung up the phone, walked a few steps to the door, and Kurosawa inserted the key into the lock.

After a slight noise, Kurosawa opened the door and entered the house.

A strange, dark figure stood in the center of the room.

Kurosawa's pupils contracted, and he instinctively drew his pistol.

"Boom!"

Two shots rang out, and the bullets landed precisely on the dark figure's forehead and chest.

"boom!"

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground brought Kurosawa back to his senses. He looked at the fallen figure and remained silent for a moment.

"This...could this be the boss?"

Chapter 2 codename... let's call it Gin.

Kurosawa looked at the motionless black figure and hesitated whether to go forward.

"What if that really is the boss?"

"Should we go up and see if there's any hope?"

That being said, Kurosawa was still very confident in his marksmanship.

After just two shots, the boss's brain is probably a complete mess...

"Let's just run away!"

He lifted the money pouch in his hand and had the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to slip away.

"The organization estimates it will be some time before they discover the boss is dead, so we can still escape now."

"Although the organization is large and powerful, with its influence almost all over the world, as long as it keeps a low profile and hides, it will probably be difficult to find them."

"I happened to be doing missions during this period, and I... cough, I saved up a lot of money, enough to eat, drink and have fun for the rest of my life."

Thinking this way, Kurosawa seemed to already envision a life of lying around eating, drinking, and having fun every day, which strengthened his resolve to run away.

"In that case..."

Kurosawa looked at the lifeless figure lying on the ground, his hand gripping the gun itching to strike.

"Just in case the boss is exceptionally talented and not completely dead, let's finish him off with a couple more shots!"

Remembering the endless missions since leaving the base, Kurosawa revealed a somewhat crooked smile and raised his hand to fire a few more shots at the shadowy figure.

"Pfft!"

The shadowy figure that had been hit by the bullet twitched, but showed no reaction.

Kurosawa lowered his gun with satisfaction.

"This is what happens to a scumbag boss who exploits his subordinates!"

No longer paying attention to the scoundrel boss, Kurosawa walked towards the bedroom on the right, preparing to run away with the little money inside.

……

On the other side, the boss watched Kurosawa, who opened fire as soon as he entered the room, and fell into deep thought.

This is the first time an organization member has killed their own body double upon first meeting them.

"That's a bit too bloodthirsty..."

"However, this is not a problem."

After a moment's thought, the boss decided not to care too much, since his organization wasn't exactly a formal organization.

Aside from that, Kurosawa is the perfect member of the organization!

He grew up in the organization's base and his background is not problematic.

They are also very capable.

The boss has seen Kurosawa's test report, and both his fighting and marksmanship are top-notch.

Most importantly, he has strong execution skills!

The tasks I complete every day are several times more than others, and over this period of time, the amount of tasks piling up in the organization has been reduced significantly!

The more the boss thought about it, the more satisfied he became with Kurosawa.

Highly capable and efficient, he can kill and make money, as well as gather intelligence – a true all-around workhorse!

"Absolutely perfect... huh?"

The boss's eyebrows twitched as he watched Kurosawa suddenly pull out a pistol and start firing at the "corpse" with a gleeful smile.

You finally found a member who's great in every way, but it seems like his mood is off?

"...After that, we'll arrange for him to undergo a psychological evaluation."

After much deliberation, the boss ultimately decided against giving up on such a useful tool.

"As for the codename... let's call it Gin!"

Having made his decision, the boss pressed the button in front of him.

At the same time, Kurosawa, who was walking towards the bedroom, stopped and turned around.

"Crunch, squeak..."

A scraping sound came, and the dark figure that had been lying on the ground stood up in a contorted position.

"Sizzle..."

Accompanied by an electromagnetic sound, two red dots lit up where the shadowy figure's eyes were.

Kurosawa stared at the shadowy figure and reached out to press the switch on the wall.

The lights above his head turned on in an instant, and Kurosawa finally saw the true face of the shadowy figure.

"A...plastic mannequin?"

Kurosawa glanced at the dummy's distorted posture due to its broken torso, then focused his gaze on the dummy's face.

After just one glance, Kurosawa looked away with disdain.

"How ugly!"

Because of the bullets, the dummy's face was completely mangled, and coupled with its bizarre standing posture, it was an eyesore!

"Sizzle, cough, sizzle... Hello?"

The electromagnetic sound gradually weakened, and then a synthesized electronic voice came through.

Kurosawa quickly grasped the general outline of what had happened.

It's likely that the boss wanted to see him but didn't want to appear in front of him in person, so he put a mannequin in his room to communicate with him.

Unexpectedly, he "killed" the dummy as soon as he entered the room, which greatly surprised the boss.

That's why the boss is only speaking now; he must have been struggling with how to start the conversation.

As Kurosawa pondered this, he subtly surveyed his surroundings and, unsurprisingly, discovered several security cameras in an inconspicuous corner.

"Ahem, I am..."

The boss began by introducing himself, boasting about his organization, and finally praising and encouraging Kurosawa.

Kurosawa listened quietly, his face expressionless, but inwardly he felt regretful that he couldn't escape.

"It's okay, I'll always find a chance to run away later... My days as a lazy bum will surely come!"

Kurosawa comforted himself with a word, nodded casually, and responded to the boss for a few moments.

The boss looked at Kurosawa, who was "attentively" listening to him, with satisfaction, and then got to the main topic of the day.

"Now that you have enough experience, you are eligible to receive your own code name."

The boss paused.

"Gin, your code name."

Kurosawa nodded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong.

Wait, Gin?

No, no, no, this must be a coincidence!

Even if it's codenamed Gin, it doesn't necessarily mean it's that brewery!

Kurosawa tried to comfort himself.

"First of all, I have blonde hair and I don't own a Porsche 356A."

"Although I usually wear all black, have long hair, and use a Beretta gun, and although I'm equally dexterous with both hands, I'm more used to using my left hand..."

"And what was his name again in this life? Kurosawa... Jin?!"

Kurosawa fell silent.

"Damn! Gin's hair was blonde in his early days! As for Porsche, who knows when Gin got it! He doesn't even have his little brother Vodka yet!"

Meanwhile, the boss continued speaking.

"The organization's key members all have their own code names, which are also the names of alcoholic beverages..."

Kurosawa gave up struggling.

"...Fine, so this is the water plant that was tainted with Gin, right!"
