Gin likes me?

Chuckling and shaking her head, Suzuki Ayako's voice had become lively again.

"What a pity, I still didn't get the name. I guess I can only look for another chance next time."

"...There won't be a next time. The big sister has already said this is the last time."

235: You promised me, didn't you?

"For the last time, what does this mean?"

Turning her head in surprise, Suzuki Ayako asked Uozuka Saburo in confusion.

Looking at Suzuki Ayako who turned her head and looked at him as if she really didn't understand, Uozuka Saburo shook his head helplessly, pulled out a chair and sat next to her.

"Ayako, you already understand, don't you?"

Slowly stretching out his hand, Saburo Uozuka took out a small hard box from under the plate that Kurosawa Hotaru mentioned. Although he was curious about what was inside, Saburo Uozuka had no intention of opening it in front of Suzuki Ayako.

Since this is related to the organization's mission, even if Saburo Uozuka believes in Suzuki Ayako 100% in his heart, he cannot let Suzuki Ayako get involved too much.

"For the big sister, the organization's mission has always been the most important, and her personality has always been cold and indifferent. She has never been nice to the members of the organization, let alone you, Ayako, who is outside the organization but knows the organization's situation."

Having said this, Uozuka Saburo also paused slightly.

Could he say bad things about Kurosawa Hotaru in such a matter?

Of course not!

Although Kurosawa Hotaru did not have a good expression when facing Suzuki Ayako today, and there was no other communication except a few words, Uozuka Saburo, who was familiar with the other party's character, knew that Kurosawa Hotaru had already made a lot of concessions for his sake.

Just from the perspective that she is not a member of the organization but knows people in the organization and understands some of the organization's affairs, if she was not the cause of all this, Kurosawa Hotaru would have silenced Suzuki Ayako when he saw her today.

Oh, the action today may not take place in the restaurant, but Uozuka Saburo believes that Kurosawa Hotaru will not let Suzuki Ayako, who has witnessed her appearance, go when she has time later.

However, Kurosawa Hotaru's patience is limited. After seeing Suzuki Ayako for the second time today, Kurosawa Hotaru has already made her position clear to Uozuka Saburo.

'Don't let me see this woman again.'

Faced with such an order, what else could Uozuka Saburo say?

Just listen to me. Kurosawa Hotaru has done his best. If you go too far, something bad will happen.

"Well, the big sister has always had a bad temper. Ayako, don't worry about it. This time the situation is special. In the future, you probably won't have many opportunities to meet, so it's good if you don't know each other."

Picking up a piece of fish that looked delicious with chopsticks, Uozuka Saburo placed it on Suzuki Ayako's plate and looked at her with a smile.

"Okay, the mission is over, let's start eating."

"Well, then enjoy today's food. I believe Mr. Uozuka will like it very much."

Chuckling and nodding, Suzuki Ayako cooperated with Uozuka Saburo to pick up the chopsticks, putting more of her thoughts deep in her heart.

Faced with what Saburo Uozuka said, Suzuki Ayako knew that she could only accept it.

She has been with Uozuka Saburo for such a long time. Although Uozuka Saburo is on guard, he still unconsciously revealed some information about Kurosawa Hotaru through Suzuki Ayako's indirect and ambiguous questioning.

Apart from anything else, it was these situations that made Suzuki Ayako realize how terrifying the opponent she was facing was.

Although she didn't know the other person's name, Suzuki Ayako understood how high a status the girl, who was three years younger than Uozuka Saburo, held in Uozuka Saburo's heart, and how much he respected and admired her.

It can be said that from words that Uozuka Saburo himself was not aware of, Suzuki Ayako understood that Kurosawa Hotaru could completely influence Uozuka Saburo's decision on any matter.

Such a woman puts too much pressure on Suzuki Ayako.

So, although Uozuka Saburo didn't say much after Kurosawa Hotaru came in today, some of his subconscious actions and the timing of changing the subject had already touched Suzuki Ayako very much.

She knew that Uozuka Saburo wanted to share the pressure with her, and that he made the decision under great pressure.

And she knew it even better, and so did the girl who took control of the entire momentum and situation after entering the room.

Otherwise, when the other party finally turned his gaze to him, he would not have shown such direct disdain.

This made Suzuki Ayako feel a little nervous, but also a little happy.

It's not that Suzuki Ayako has any bad habits, but compared to the last time they met, although she brought her immense pressure with murderous intent, she never looked at her from beginning to end, and walked past her like passing by a tree. Today, Kurosawa Hotaru undoubtedly took her seriously and expressed her attitude.

"Mr. Uozuka, you said that we won't have the chance to meet again in the future. How is that possible?"

Her narrowed eyes were filled with tenderness and helplessness. After Suzuki Ayako picked up a piece of barbecue that Uozuka Saburo liked very much, she no longer had any appetite.

She must be with Uozuka Saburo, and if that happens, Kurosawa Hotaru will be a big mountain that she must buy over!

Although Uozuka Saburo has always expressed that he treats Kurosawa Hotaru as a big sister and a relative, Suzuki Ayako does not believe it.

"Perhaps Mr. Uozuka and the girl themselves are not aware of it."

Suzuki Ayako took a sip of the drink, recalling the look Kurosawa Hotaru gave her the last time, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

If Kurosawa Hotaru didn't care so much about Uozuka Saburo, how could she have such direct hostility and disdain towards him?

Maybe Kurosawa Hotaru really didn't realize this, but when she saw herself sitting next to Uozuka Saburo, her instinct had begun to reject herself.

“There’s still a long way to go.”

With a helpless sigh, Suzuki Ayako did not lose confidence. On the contrary, after today's meeting, her fighting spirit was even higher!

"What do you mean by far? Ayako, is the place you are going to this afternoon very far? And why don't you eat?"

"I'm full, because I'm looking forward to the dinner in the evening~" Holding her face with a smile, Suzuki Ayako completely forgot the figure of Kurosawa Hotaru, and her eyes were fixed on the face of Uozuka Saburo who took off his sunglasses.

"It's just a meal, why are you so happy Ayako?"

"Hehe, it's different, Mr. Uozuka. The meal we have tonight is from a Western restaurant that I really like." Shaking her fingers mischievously, Suzuki Ayako's expression at this moment was like a little fox who had succeeded in her plan.

"And the most important thing is that the western restaurant can prepare the atmosphere of a candlelight dinner in advance according to the customer's requirements~"

"...Um, Ayako."

"Mr. Uozuka, you said before that you would agree to all my non-violation requests today~"

"..."

236: That’s my big sister

"Hey, did you get the stuff?"

It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that the candlelight dinner finally ended with Suzuki Ayako's happy and cheerful expression. After sending Suzuki Ayako back to the Suzuki family, Uozuka Saburo rushed to the address sent to him by Vodka.

"Hey, Saburo, Saburo! Calm down, this is a tavern!"

Cold sweat rolled down his forehead. Vodka, who was about to make a joke, looked up to Saburo Uozuka, who pulled out a pistol and pointed it at his head without saying a word. He quickly raised his hands to show that he was still loyal to the organization.

"It's okay, I've already added a silencer, and there's no surveillance in this tavern. I've blocked our position with my body, so even if someone looks over, they won't notice anything wrong." With a ferocious smile on his lips, Saburo Uozuka squinted his eyes and looked at Vodka with a smile, but his sharp eyes like a knife did not contain any smile.

"Oh! You've thought it through thoroughly, Mr. Uozuka."

The frightened expression on his face slowly faded, and Vodka, who had been trembling with fear, smiled and put down his hands, then leisurely picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"But if you put the magazine in, I might be even more scared."

"Oh, I'm afraid if I really load the magazine, I won't be able to help but fire the gun."

With a disgusted glare at Vodka, Saburo Uozuka sat down on the chair next to Vodka in a bad mood, took out the magazine he had removed from his pocket and put it back into the pistol.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I admit that this matter is somewhat inappropriate, but I can't help it."

Seeing Saburo Uozuka sitting down angrily, Vodka hurriedly poured wine for Saburo Uozuka with a smile.

"You see, the mission from the organization is so unreasonable. They want Kurosawa Hotaru to deliberately expose herself to the surveillance of those people and confuse them, and they also want to find a way to safely take over the important intelligence items from her. After thinking about it, I can only borrow some of the power of the Suzuki family from you~"

Vodka poured a glass of wine for Uozuka Saburo with a smile, then picked up his own glass and clinked glasses with Uozuka Saburo despite his reluctance.

"Anyway, if it's just suspicion, it won't cause any damage to the Suzuki family. You will leave the Suzuki family in that identity, so there will be no problem~"

"Besides, this is a serious matter, and it also affects the safety of your big sister. Don't I have to arrange the most appropriate solution on my side? So don't be angry."

"...Anyway, I never said such nonsense to you." After feeling aggrieved for a long time, Uozuka Saburo finally drank the wine in the glass.

He knew that what Vodka said was actually right. In the current chaotic situation in Tokyo, it was the best option for him to come forward and hand over to Kurosawa Hotaru.

But. . .

"Anyway, I'm almost used to it. Just tell me the truth, Master." With a somewhat dejected and helpless sigh, Uozuka Saburo handed over the bedding and asked Vodka to pour him another glass of wine.

"Do you want to see what will happen when Big Sister and Ayako meet?"

"How could that be? Am I the kind of person who is good at both public and private matters? And how could I do such a thing to harm my apprentice? Am I still a human being?"

"...it's okay if you admit it. I don't have the energy to argue with you anymore. I'm used to being tricked by you, so I don't bother to get angry anymore."

"Really?" Looking at the listless expression of Uozuka Saburo, Vodka smiled and nodded happily.

"Well, actually a little bit, because there is a lot of..."

"bass!"

"Hey, Mr. Uozuka, are you going to say you're not angry?" Vodka held his wrist with one arm and looked at the tip of the knife less than 2 centimeters away from his eyes, blinking in a helpless manner.

"Yes, I'm indeed not angry. What's there to be angry about with a dead person? Isn't that right, Master?" With a hearty smile on his face, Uozuka Saburo slowly increased the strength of his arms. The powerful pressure gradually changed Vodka's expression.

You know what, if it comes to a single-strength fight, Vodka is really no match for this physically perverted guy named Saburo Uozuka.

"Tsk." He withdrew his forceful arm and looked at how Vodka was shamelessly resisting with both arms. Uozuka Saburo was too lazy to care about anything anymore.

Anyway, this is just how his master is. He has given up on expecting him to have some moral integrity.

"Hehe, are you no longer angry?" Seeing Uozuka Saburo retracting the dagger, Vodka came up to him again with a smile.

"To be honest, I really want to punch you in the face, Master." Looking at his shameless master with gritted teeth, Uozuka Saburo angrily drank another glass of wine, and took out the small wooden box that Kurosawa Hotaru gave him at noon from his pocket.

"Here, these are the things of the big sister."

"Oh, you really made it. That's amazing." Looking at the small box handed over by Uozuka Saburo with some surprise, Vodka took it directly without any hesitation.

"Aren't you curious enough to open it and take a look?"

"Forget it. I still know the organization's style. The less I know, the less trouble I'll have."

"Well, that's a good point. But if you keep thinking like this, you won't know how you'll suffer in the future." Vodka said with a smile, saying something that silenced Uozuka Saburo. He didn't say much either. He used both hands to easily crush the small wooden box and opened it.

With a ding, a silver key fell on the table, and was quickly picked up by Vodka, who held it in his hand and examined it carefully.

"Is this thing important?" He originally didn't want to ask, but seeing Vodka's serious expression, Uozuka Saburo couldn't help but came up and asked.

"Well, what do you think of the key that can open the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's No. 1 confidential file room?" Vodka smiled and shook his head, then put the key away and looked at the shocked Uozuka Saburo with emotion.

"Sanlang, your big sister is really, indescribable."

"I have worked in the organization for many years, and have gradually met many members who are considered to be outstanding and talented."

A trace of memory flashed across his eyes, and Vodka's tone was cautious and sighing.

"But apart from the ever-changing witch who is hard to find, this big sister of yours is the second person who makes me feel dangerous."

"...Of course, she's my big sister~"

237: It will be very busy next time

Looking at the proud look of Uozuka Saburo, Vodka curled his lips and was too lazy to say anything.

Vodka already has enough understanding about his deviated apprentice.

If you praise him directly, Uozuka Saburo may not have any big reaction. Although in the eyes of most members of the organization, Uozuka Saburo is relatively easy to get along with, but if you simply talk about strength and ability to complete tasks, he is also very confident that he can stand at the forefront of the younger generation.

Rather, in the eyes of the vast majority of members, even the old-school members of the organization, Uozuka Saburo is the second most talented person in the past twenty years, second only to Kurosawa Hotaru.

Well, the most important thing is that such talents are cultivated by their own organization, which makes them really happy.

Otherwise, do you really think that the organization would let Uozuka Saburo go out at will so easily and allow him to coordinate his classes and mission time relatively freely?

Even with the face of Kurosawa Hotaru and Vodka, the organization is not so easy to talk to.

The only pity is that, in the organization's view, if Uozuka Saburo continued to grow, he would definitely be qualified to become the sole leader of a region.

But only in this matter, Kurosawa Hotaru, who had always obeyed the organization's requirements and had no objections, expressed strong dissatisfaction and even said directly, "Uozuka must stay by my side, and you can arrange other matters as you like."

Considering that they do not want the dissatisfaction and gap from this elite member who will definitely become the leader of the organization in the future, the organization still strongly agrees with Kurosawa Hotaru's idea.
