Gin likes me?

At most, he would take the initiative to speak up and interrupt to ease the awkward and tense atmosphere between the two of them when Kurosawa Hotaru was really impatient. The rest of the time, he really did what Vodka asked, saying less and watching more, and learning to figure out Vermouth's performance.

It was precisely because he calmed his mind that after three days of getting along, Uozuka Saburo was able to adapt to Vermouth's personality a little. At the same time, in his mind, he also raised Vermouth's level of vigilance to the same level as vodka.

No, strictly speaking, the danger level of Vermouth in Uozuka Saburo's mind at this moment may be higher than that of vodka.

This is a very scary woman, and she completely lives up to the evaluation and warning given to her by her master Vodka.

Although her style of doing things is very unpredictable, Uozuka Saburo feels that Vermouth's speed in identifying the target of the mission is faster than Vodka's, and the means of assassination are more covert, and even involve a lot of finishing and cover-up work. Compared with Vodka's style of just killing people and leaving, it feels more professional.

However, Uozuka Saburo also knew that this was because he and Kurosawa Hotaru had been acting in accordance with Vermouth's instructions for the past three days.

Although they are both killers of the organization, Vodka is the big shot of the serious action team. In terms of the ability of chasing and killing, he may be stronger than Vermouth.

However, regardless of the style, the abilities displayed by the two of them were enough to shock Saburo Uozuka and make him want to learn humbly.

It may be that Vermouth was a little surprised by Uozuka Saburo's clever performance, or it may be that she already had her own plans for Uozuka Saburo. After three days of getting along with each other, Vermouth's attitude towards Uozuka Saburo was better than at the beginning.

Although there is still a big gap compared to Kurosawa Hotaru, Uozuka Saburo is already content.

Rather, he didn't want his relationship with Vermouth to improve too quickly, as that would make Uozuka Saburo feel very panicked.

After all, if you become too close to someone who can lie to you and make you unable to see if he wants to deceive you, Sanro Uozuka will feel very insecure.

"He is definitely dead, and all other traces have been eliminated. The only footprint left is the one specifically left for them to discover."

Walking beside Kurosawa Hotaru yawning, Uozuka Saburo casually said something to confirm after checking the scene.

Yes, in fact, according to the actions of Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru in Vermouth, they could have carefully eliminated all traces of their presence, but they did not do so.

Because the purpose of this mission is revenge!

That's right, during the most turbulent period before, the Tokyo organization, under Rum's drastic decision, vigorously cleared out the undercover personnel in the organization at the cost of damaging its own interests and strength, and dealt with many "cooperative organizations" that originally had a cooperative relationship with the organization, but in the end they were waiting for a price and wanted to reap the benefits from both ends.

During this process, the organization leaders headed by Rum were extremely annoyed and angry.

Although we know that this is unavoidable as the organization develops, it is a huge price to pay. If the boss was not kind enough and the entire action did not affect the organization's research work, even Rum, the current second-in-command of the organization, might be held accountable and punished.

So, after the organization was almost stabilized and the remaining undercover personnel were temporarily left behind to be dealt with slowly, Rum immediately brought back from abroad the elite cadre, Vermouth, who had temporarily finished his current work and was in an idle state.

Revenge! This is the attitude that the organization must show! Although the organization's style of action has always been low-key and secretive, but at critical moments, the organization has never lacked the madness to make things bigger.

However, Rum was not blinded by anger. After weighing the pros and cons, Rum was unwilling to give up and viciously targeted the two organizations that were found to have sent the most troops in this undercover operation.

CIA and FBI.

Rum was not surprised at all that these two organizations would send undercover agents into the organization. After all, the organization was initially developed in Magnesium. During the decades of development, there had been countless frictions and confrontations with these two groups.

Moreover, after all, the organization's next goal is to expand into Japan, so Rum does not want to make any big moves on the local forces for the time being to avoid arousing greater vigilance and blockade from the Japanese officials.

But Rum will not be polite to these two old rivals.

Anyway, we have been in a life-and-death relationship for a long time, so I'll just use you to vent my anger!

268: Me too, Uozuka

"In this case, we have recovered all the information about this organization. Is this true? Why are there so many undercover agents in the organization?"

Throwing the briefcase in his hand into the burning iron barrel, Saburo Uozuka patted the ashes on his hands, his tone full of confusion.

Although he knew that the organization he belonged to was always rather mysterious, and seemed to have considerable power, Uozuka Saburo felt that it had not reached the point where it would arouse public outrage and cause people to rise up against it.

At least, the organization I'm in hasn't done bad things openly like those international terrorist groups, right?

Well, if you think about it this way, it seems that organizing such a group of people by yourself would be more of a headache.

"Because the organization has always been short of manpower, the speed of training through the base itself is too slow. There is no choice but to allow each member to develop his own downline and external members. However, there is no need to preserve the purity of the members obtained in this way."

Leng Yan looked at the flames that were growing increasingly angry in the iron barrel. After a week of mission, Kurosawa Hotaru looked even colder and spoke calmly.

Only Uozuka Saburo could make Kurosawa Hotaru give such an explanation. Do you think Kurosawa Hotaru would pay attention to anyone else?

You have to know that during this week, Kurosawa Hotaru was annoyed by Vermouth. If it weren't for her own special reasons, Kurosawa Hotaru would definitely not want to follow Vermouth.

"That's true. We usually feel that the mission is already very busy. Even though the action team has the most people in the organization's branch, it's still not enough."

"Having a large number of people is useless. The lack of people who can truly stand up and lead the task is the fundamental reason why loopholes are easily present in the organization's actions." With a disdainful smile on his lips, Kurosawa Hotaru seemed to be very disdainful of the organization's approach.

"No wonder the organization has been vigorously developing our own training base. It turns out that people trained by ourselves are more trustworthy, and we know them well and can assign tasks according to their abilities."

Nodding in understanding, Uozuka Saburo, who had not been interested in the organization's plans before, easily followed Kurosawa Hotaru's statement.

"In this case, after this cleansing, the organization should be more stable."

"Safe? If you think so, you, Uozuka, will be in trouble." His eyes flickered slightly, and looking at Uozuka Saburo who was acting careless and seemed not to take it seriously, Kurosawa Hotaru broke his composure with a cold voice.

"Uh, why do you say that?" Startled by the scolding in Kurosawa Hotaru's tone, and looking at Kurosawa Hotaru's obviously unhappy face, Uozuka Saburo also restrained his lazy attitude.

Kurosawa Hotaru has not been in a good mood these days, and Uozuka Saburo knows it. Although the woman Vermouth has always seemed to be very close to Kurosawa Hotaru, one-sided closeness can also bring a lot of pressure to people.

Especially when facing someone with a cold personality like Kurosawa Hotaru.

Of course, what also makes Uozuka Saburo feel strange is that if it were according to Kurosawa Hotaru's previous character, she would never tolerate Vermouth's attitude even if the other party was their current leader. However, Kurosawa Hotaru has really been taking Vermouth's teasing and approaching seriously these days.

"But even if I ask about this, it won't lead to any results." Feeling somewhat helpless, after being discovered by his indirect attempts to probe Kurosawa Hotaru, Uozuka Saburo completely gave up on this matter.

Kurosawa Hotaru is already in a very bad mood, so it would be better for her not to make herself uncomfortable.

"This operation did catch a lot of undercover agents and traitors, but Vodka should have told you the price the organization paid."

"The price we paid was indeed painful. Both in terms of manpower and the connected group rooms, the direct and indirect economic losses were huge... Oh, the main reason was that we didn't have enough manpower." After finding something from the information that Vodka had told him, Saburo Uozuka pounded his palm in sudden realization.

"Two training bases were destroyed. I think we only have four training bases in all of Japan, right? Tsk tsk, if you think about it this way, the loss of the organization this time is really huge. Under such circumstances, the man named Rum was not punished by the boss? Is our boss so kind?"

"Kindly, do you think it's possible?" He glanced at Uozuka Saburo, opened the passenger door and sat in easily.

The jeep that Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru are using now was loaned to Uozuka Saburo as a friendly donation from Vodka together with the apartment.

In his words, this mission might take a long time, so instead of leaving these things idle in Tokyo, it would be better to hand them over to Uozuka Saburo, who is currently mainly active in Tokyo.

Faced with such a statement, Uozuka Saburo of course accepted it without hesitation.

"That's true. If you think about it carefully, if we don't want the organization to face greater danger in the future, this cleanup is something that must be done. Whether it's the planning and action planning during the cleanup process, the temporary deployment in case of emergencies, or the finishing work after the mission is completed, it requires a person with comprehensive and outstanding abilities who can make the boss absolutely trustworthy to be in charge."

After starting the jeep, Uozuka Saburo shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that this man named Rum is really trusted by the boss."

"Is it possible that such a trusting relationship can exist in our organization?"

"It's just that Rum is too deeply involved with the organization, and the boss believes that he doesn't have the courage to betray him." Looking at the slight changes in the scenery outside the window, Kurosawa Hotaru turned his face and stared at Uozuka Saburo indifferently.

"Even if you provoke me with words like this, I won't respond to your curiosity, Uozuka."

"...Uh, I've been discovered. I was just purely curious. If you're unhappy, I won't ask anymore." He nodded with a silly smile. Even though his thoughts were revealed by Kurosawa Hotaru, Uozuka Saburo was not too flustered.

When Kurosawa Hotaru uses words to mock others, it means that she is still safe. If the situation is really dangerous, Kurosawa Hotaru always takes direct action.

After hearing what Uozuka Saburo said, Kurosawa Hotaru did not move his gaze away, but continued to look at Uozuka Saburo, until Uozuka Saburo began to feel a little scared and the expression on his face began to change, then he slowly spoke.

"I promised you, Uozuka, that when the time comes, I will tell you what you want to know."

"You, don't you believe me?"

"I'm sorry for talking too much, big sister." His expression became serious, Uozuka Saburo slowed down the car, turned his head and looked directly at Kurosawa Hotaru without any dodging.

"Big Sister, you are the person I trust the most in this world, and this will never change."

"Yeah, me too." Nodding slightly, Kurosawa Hotaru turned his head, supported himself with his hands and looked at the scenery outside the window again.

"Go buy dinner, Uozuka."

"Good~"

269: I am not like you, Vermouth

"Well, you did a great job. You are indeed the super rookie that even Rum praised highly."

Holding a slender ladies' cigarette between the index and middle fingers of her right hand, Vermouth was waiting for news from Saburo Uozuka and Hotaru Kurosawa in Vodka's apartment. She looked at the information and collected items brought back by Saburo Uozuka and the others, and smiled with satisfaction.

Yes, unless she judged that the mission required personal action, otherwise, Vermouth would just let the two of them do it after looking at their action plans.

Of course, this is also because the abilities of Saburo Uozuka and Hotaru Kurosawa are indeed outstanding, enough to complete these tasks that are difficult for ordinary action team members. Especially after seeing with her own eyes the tacit cooperation of Hotaru Kurosawa and Saburo Uozuka in the mission, Vermouth was truly shocked.

Just as Vodka and Uozuka Saburo said before, it is normal for them to be vigilant towards each other in an organization. Although after completing their assigned tasks, they will help their partners if they have spare energy to ensure the smooth completion of the mission, partners like Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru are almost never seen in the organization where they would really leave their backs to each other.

This really made Vermouth feel surprised and puzzled.

Although she had seen from the information before that Saburo Uozuka and Hotaru Kurosawa had been working together for many years, and even asked their superiors to continue to carry out missions in the same group after leaving the training base, Vermouth really did not expect that the relationship between Saburo Uozuka and Hotaru Kurosawa would be so harmonious.

At the beginning, Vermouth tried to tease Kurosawa Hotaru and Uozuka Saburo by using words like "we have feelings for each other" and "young couple", but when she found that the effect was very poor, she gave up this approach reluctantly.

Kurosawa Hotaru did not take these words to heart at all. She even completely disdained the level of emotions that Vermouth expressed.

Until now, Kurosawa Hotaru is still convinced that she and Uozuka Saburo are the most important people in each other's lives, and they will be together forever!

No identity, no person can break this relationship between them!

What boyfriends and girlfriends, what men and women who like each other, can such fragile relationships be compared with the bond between herself and Uozuka Saburo?

Do not joke!

As for Uozuka Saburo, his attitude made Vermouth even more angry and speechless.

He faced Kurosawa Hotaru's beauty, admired her charm, was proud of her achievements, and respected her attitude towards himself.

But ah!!! That's not a reason for you to have that 'My daughter is the best in the world! (??????)??' expression, you bastard!

Didn't you call Kurosawa Hotaru the big sister? But you think you are more senior than him?

A big sister in words, but a 'little fool' in heart?

Do all young people nowadays have so much fun?

After spending nearly five or six days to filter out the strange yet strong and terrifying relationship between Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru, Vermouth felt that all the values ​​she had developed over the years had been challenged.

Vermouth, who has traveled all over the world for the organization, feels at this moment that she may really be a little old.

Forget it, let it be. I originally wanted to find out what kind of coexistence relationship there was between Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru, but the result of the analysis was a heavy blow to Vermouth.

"So, what is the next task, Vermouth?" Putting the food in his other hand on the dining table, Uozuka Saburo glanced at Kurosawa Hotaru, who walked to the chair next to the balcony and sat down without saying a word. After sighing, he took the initiative to take over the topic.

"Not for now. Our efficiency has been very high this week, and the other side has already reacted and started to shrink and guard. It will not be a good thing for us to continue to act under this situation." After flicking the ash from her cigarette, Vermouth changed the way she crossed her legs, causing Uozuka Saburo to look over for a moment.

Of course, it was only for a brief moment. Sensing the air conditioning, Uozuka Saburo naturally looked away, walked to the refrigerator, opened the door and took out two bottles of drinks.

Haha, it's just thighs. It's not like I haven't seen them before. When the big sister comes out of the shower wearing short-sleeved shirt and shorts, her exposed legs look very beautiful too!

And Chisawa Hagiwara, she is a leg beauty, she still managed to control herself, as for Ayako, although she prefers to wear skirts, she has recently started to like wearing stockings, the exposed calves are also very beautiful, and the touch is also special... ahem.

Besides! This is obviously Vodka's apartment, and you, Vermouth, only let me stay with you temporarily out of kindness, but you were so rude. How could you wear pajamas in someone else's house?

How indecent! How very indecent!

He walked quickly to Kurosawa Hotaru and handed a bottle of drink to her. Then Uozuka Saburo opened his own bottle and gulped down most of it.

They are all floating clouds, made of flesh, I don’t care!

"So we can leave now, right?"

The indifferent voice made Uozuka Saburo, who was drinking a drink, shudder.

However, Kurosawa Hotaru seemed not to notice Uozuka Saburo's loss of composure. She turned her head and looked coldly at Vermouth who was sitting on the sofa and looking at her with a smile.

"It should be said that it is a holiday. In three days, I have a new mission to complete, and you two will still be the assistants assigned to me by Rum."

"...I understand." With a slightly changed look in her eyes, Kurosawa Hotaru looked out the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony again, leaving Uozuka Saburo standing beside her, touching his head in confusion.

But taking a vacation is a good thing.

"It's a good time to go see Mingmei and the others. We haven't contacted each other for a long time."

. . .

"You're just going to let him go like this?" Vermouth looked at Uozuka Saburo's receding figure with a smile on his face, his tone full of ridicule as he held a goblet in his hand.

"Are you sure you won't regret it if you let those two girls from the Miyano family trick people away?"

"Uozuka doesn't know." After glancing at Vermouth lightly, Kurosawa Hotaru turned his attention back to the pistol that he had disassembled in front of him.

"They don't deserve it."

"Besides, I don't hate the name Miyano as much as you do, Vermouth."

"Ah, what an unlovable child~"
