Gin likes me?

What else can Uozuka Saburo say when faced with a big sister who dotes on him like this?

"What is our next mission?" There was no need to say words of thanks, Uozuka Saburo's eyes became serious. Since the next mission was a long-awaited collaboration between him and Kurosawa Hotaru, they had to complete it beautifully.

"It's simple, kill people." His body had been adjusted to the best condition. Kurosawa Hotaru opened the safety of the pistol, turned his body, and pointed the gun at the pursuers who were still chasing him from behind through the broken rear window.

"That's really exciting~" Saburo Uozuka laughed and pushed up his sunglasses, and he became excited again after a long time.

It has been a long time since he last carried out a mission with Kurosawa Hotaru!

"I will definitely be able to shake them off in fifteen minutes. During this time, it will depend on how much you can kill, Big Sister! ~"

"Fifteen minutes? That's plenty of time."

With a slight smile on her lips, she listened to Uozuka Saburo's excited tone and understood his mood. After taking aim, she put the pistol back into the holster on her waist, and then... she took out a submachine gun from the bag she had left on the back seat.

But she had no intention of letting the people behind her catch up from the beginning!

. . .

"Did he run away again?"

The chase started quickly and ended just as quickly.

Looking at the car that was constantly moving among the vehicles in front of him and getting farther and farther away from his sight, the middle-aged man with glasses sighed helplessly.

After all, as FBI investigators, they cannot really ignore the safety of the people around them and only focus on hunting down the target criminal, even in a chaotic Tokyo like today.

Being forced into a gunfight is already a very inappropriate choice. If they continue the exchange of fire without scruples and cause the deaths of innocent people, even they will not be able to completely extricate themselves from the matter.

The CIA people should also understand this.

Glancing further back, he saw a jeep with a broken tire that had crashed into a street pole. The man felt a mixture of emotions that finally turned into a sigh.

"what a shame."

"If we can catch a decoy so easily, I will have to reevaluate that organization."

A voice that did not sound much disappointed sounded calmly in the man's ears, causing the man who was thinking about his next plan to subconsciously turn his head and look at his companion who was in the driver's seat and was still looking in the direction of the leaving vehicle.

"It seems that you are not too disappointed. Did you find something?"

"Akai."

247: Start hunting

"Shake it off."

After slowly slowing down the car and turning left and right for about ten minutes, Uozuka Saburo finally turned around proudly and gave Kurosawa Hotaru a thumbs up.

"Yeah." She nodded slightly. Although Kurosawa Hotaru found it interesting to see Uozuka Saburo's smug look, it was not her style to laugh along with him.

What's more, just as Uozuka Saburo believed in Kurosawa Hotaru's strength, Kurosawa Hotaru also thought that it would not be a problem for Uozuka Saburo to get rid of those guys, not to mention that he had his own help by his side.

"Sure enough, it's more fun to complete missions with the big sister." He closed his grinning mouth, held the steering wheel with one hand, and leisurely took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth with the other hand.

"It seems that you haven't wasted your time during this period."

Watching Uozuka Saburo light up the cigarette, Kurosawa Hotaru's eyes flickered but he didn't say anything.

It was a long time ago that Saburo Uozuka learned to smoke. At that time, due to the harshness of the training, even Hotaru Kurosawa felt that she could not bear it and tried to learn from the instructors at the training base to smoke to strengthen her spirit. It was Saburo Uozuka who desperately stopped her.

He gave all kinds of reasons and patiently explained to me the disadvantages of smoking. Finally, with his tired body from training, he gave himself a massage every night to relieve the double pressure of physical and mental stress.

Then, Uozuka Saburo himself learned to smoke.

Kurosawa Hotaru doesn't care too much about cigarettes. It doesn't matter if she doesn't smoke. Rather, compared to using cigarettes to relax her mind, Kurosawa Hotaru feels that Uozuka Saburo's massage is more comfortable.

Of course, Kurosawa Hotaru would not take the initiative to tell Uozuka Saburo such words of praise.

"Uh." After hearing what Kurosawa Hotaru said, Uozuka Saburo's expression became subtle for a moment.

But he did not forget what the scene was like during their brief meeting just a few days ago.

Although he had no idea of ​​Kurosawa Hotaru's exact opinion of Suzuki Ayako, Uozuka Saburo knew that his big sister definitely had no good feelings towards her.

The only thing he was thankful for now was that Vodka was still somewhat of a human being and did not really tell Kurosawa Hotaru about what happened between him and Suzuki Ayako.

According to what Uozuka Saburo knew, Kurosawa Hotaru would not be the kind of person who would like to ask about such things. In this case, as long as he didn't take the initiative to ask, he would just keep it secret for as long as he could.

After all, Uozuka Saburo himself had not yet figured out how to tell Kurosawa Hotaru about this matter.

At least, he had to wait until he and Kurosawa Hotaru had higher status and power in the organization.

His eyes flickered slightly, and thinking of Kurosawa Hotaru's trust and indulgence in him on weekdays, Uozuka Saburo felt that things might not be as sad as he imagined.

"My tasks are not particularly difficult, but they are all time-consuming. However, I am a little depressed and angry. You, the big sister, knew the purpose of the organization from the beginning, but I didn't know it until the end."

"It's just the organization's plan. Even if you knew about it in advance, you wouldn't have the opportunity to participate in my mission so early."

Listening to Uozuka Saburo's complaints, Kurosawa Hotaru, who knew that the other party wanted to come to her side to help her, curled up the corners of her mouth slightly, but did not let Uozuka Saburo notice.

"Why? As for me, in terms of comprehensive ability, I am second only to the Big Sister among the newcomers in the organization! Not to mention the tacit understanding between me and the Big Sister!"

"Uozuka, you are too old. If you act with me, you won't be able to hide your tracks and change your identity." With his arms crossed in front of his chest, Kurosawa Hotaru said calmly.

"Although those people's abilities are not that great, they are still better than ordinary police officers. Although my apparent mission is to act as bait, bait does not need to be exposed to the other party all the time."

"...You make sense." Shaking his head helplessly, Uozuka Saburo knew that what Kurosawa Hotaru said was correct.

Although his infiltration and camouflage performance were good, his body size and aura could not be completely concealed to a certain extent.

When dealing with the best officers from the CIA, FBI or Japanese public security departments, even the slightest mistake could put your life in danger.

"Let's talk about something happy." The car was slowly driven into a remote alley. Uozuka Saburo, who got out of the car first, glanced at the car that had been replaced with a 'battle-damaged version' skin, and shook his head with some regret.

As a driver with excellent driving skills and a man, Saburo Uozuka has a natural love for cars.

Although given his current circumstances, it is difficult for him to buy a car for himself.

"Our next mission is an assassination. Who is the target?"

"There are many targets, and apart from some basic information, it is difficult for us to get any useful help from the organization for the time being."

She got out of the car carrying her travel bag in one hand and handed the bag naturally to Uozuka Saburo who came over and stretched out his hand. Kurosawa Hotaru took out his cell phone and casually flipped through the emails from the organization.

"Oh, hunting mode, I'm familiar with this." His eyes lit up slightly. This mode of action was really familiar to Saburo Uozuka.

When in Osaka, vodka taught him a good lesson!

"Well, let's go, change a car, we have to start the action."

"Hey, let's get started? Big sister, aren't you going to eat something?"

"There's not enough time... Are you hungry?"

"Well, a little bit, but it doesn't matter. I can just buy some bread."

With her long eyebrows slightly raised, Kurosawa Hotaru was still looking at the email on her mobile phone, but she had already taken a step forward.

"I've arranged the order. Let's go to the first target location first and find a restaurant to eat on the way."

"Oh, ok big sister!"

. . .

"boom!"

With a crisp gunshot, Kurosawa Hotaru, who was kneeling on one knee on the rooftop, pressed his right shoulder with one hand and placed the sniper rifle that had just fired a bullet on his shoulder.

"Hit the target, confirmed headshot kill."

Saburo Uozuka, who was squatting nearby, also put down the telescope in his hand and gave Kurosawa Hotaru a thumbs up with a smile.

"Sure enough, a distance of 400 meters is still too easy for the big sister."

"This is the fourth one." He raised his hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows. Ten hours had passed since he met Uozuka Saburo in the morning. Kurosawa Hotaru, who had already carried out three assassination missions, also felt a little tired.

"Well, there are still five people on the list, but there is no rush to deal with them all today." Looking at the somewhat tired Kurosawa Hotaru, Uozuka Saburo persuaded with some heartache.

He felt that he was not being lazy. Although it was a hunting mission, the organization did not require it to be completed within one day.

"Let's go downstairs first." Looking up at Uozuka Saburo, Kurosawa Hotaru didn't say much.

She understood what Uozuka Saburo meant. In fact, she also felt that there was no need to continue with today's mission.

However, when you are on a mission, there will always be unexpected things.

248: One shot is over, let’s go eat

"tread."

Although the sound of soles stepping on the stairs was faint, it was very clear in this construction building chosen as a sniper point.

Kurosawa Hotaru has confirmed that today's mission will be completed soon. After being busy all day, Uozuka Saburo can't help but stretch his tired body.

Although they were hunters, most of the people who were targeted died inexplicably before they even had time to be on guard, let alone encountering resistance.

However, after running around all day without any rest except for a short break for meals, such behavior was already very obvious.

"Where are we going to rest at night? Should we book a hotel? Big sister, what do you want to eat tonight?" Carrying the sniper rifle that Kurosawa Hotaru had just used for assassination, Uozuka Saburo followed Kurosawa Hotaru downstairs while asking about the plans for the evening.

After a busy day, it’s not too much to eat something delicious.

As for this location, Saburo Uozuka remembered that Suzuki Ayako once took him to a Japanese restaurant with very delicious food, so he could just take Kurosawa Hotaru to try it.

However, when Uozuka Saburo was about to say something, Kurosawa Hotaru, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. A sharp gleam flashed across his originally calm and indifferent eyes, and he raised his hand to stop Uozuka Saburo behind him.

"What's wrong, big sister?"

The reaction was very quick. The moment Kurosawa Hotaru raised his hand, Uozuka Saburo had already moved sideways in tacit understanding, pulled out the pistol and held it in his hand.

“Something feels wrong.”

His frown did not relax as he looked ahead at the unfinished floors of the building, which appeared dim with only a hint of light coming in from the building next door. Kurosawa Hotaru kept looking at the environment below.

There didn't seem to be anything wrong, but Kurosawa Hotaru didn't take a step.

The intuition developed through many life-and-death experiences was constantly warning her that if she continued on this path, she would definitely encounter very bad things.

But what exactly is the problem?

Leaning against the wall on the side of the stairs, Kurosawa Hotaru closed his eyes slightly and tried hard to think about places that might bring danger to him.

The construction building under your feet, the surrounding environment, and those distant vantage points that could be used as sniper points.

Ok?

Suddenly opening his eyes, Kurosawa Hotaru showed a hint of doubt.

Compared to the two previous floors of stair entrances and exits that were blocked by various stacked building materials, the stair entrance under his feet was completely empty and unobstructed.

Apart from a few concrete pillars, the building without any glass has no defense capabilities at all.

The only point that can reach this position and still pose a threat to oneself is the rooftop.

However, that was already almost the maximum sniping distance he could reach now.

It's not that he is very arrogant, but Kurosawa Hotaru is very confident that he has a unique talent in the profession of killer.

Even now, his sniping skills have surpassed those of many professional snipers in organizations.

"A better sniper than me?"

Taking a deep breath, Kurosawa Hotaru waved and took back the sniper rifle he had just used from Uozuka Saburo's shoulder.

When he saw Kurosawa Hotaru's actions, Uozuka Saburo's eyes also changed.

"We're being held captive?"

"It should be. I feel that way."

After assembling the sniper rifle, Kurosawa Hotaru returned to the upper floor and, with the cover of building materials, slowly came to a shadowy place.

"Uozuka, be careful."

"I know." Nodding slightly, Uozuka Saburo, who was hiding behind another piece of demolished construction material, wrapped the wire he had just picked up a few times to make an 'iron rod' with supporting capabilities, then slowly took off his hat and placed it on it.

Unlike Kurosawa Hotaru's position, his position was not completely obscured by the shadow, but there was only a little light illumination. Considering the distance between him and the other party, he would basically not be seen.

However, Uozuka Saburo just wants the other party to see it!
