Gin likes me?

Although Saburo Uozuka was somewhat unwilling to accept this, he could not say anything as he was not as skilled as others, and he also had considerable doubts about his own gaming talent.

He was obviously the adult, but in the end he was no match for either Miyano Shiho or Suzuki Sonoko. This was really a big blow.

Even so, Uozuka Saburo still considers himself a master of the game.

"No, I'm good at survival and management games, so it doesn't seem to be a problem if I'm not good at this kind of fighting game." He found a reasonable excuse for himself, and Uozuka Saburo's mood also improved a lot when he heard the delicious dishes that Akemi Miyano brought to the table.

After chatting and laughing while finishing this long-lost meal, Uozuka Saburo stayed in the apartment for a while and said goodbye when Miyano Akemi invited him to dinner.

"Let me take you there, Brother Uozuka." Without giving Uozuka Saburo a chance to refuse, Miyano Akemi quickly changed into her coat and outdoor shoes and stood beside Uozuka Saburo.

His eyes changed slightly, and he knew that Miyano Akemi must have something to talk to him about, just like Miyano Shiho had said. Uozuka Saburo didn't say much. After saying goodbye to Miyano Shiho with a smile, he and Miyano Akemi walked out of the apartment building one after another.

"Sure enough, if I go out with Brother Uozuka, those people will follow me from a distance." Miyano Akemi stepped lightly on the ground and unknowingly walked to the side of Uozuka Saburo. She smiled softly, but said words that were not worth being happy about at all.

"After all, we know each other, and they have to give me this face." Shrugging his shoulders, Uozuka Saburo looked at Miyano Akemi beside him and wanted to smoke, but when he remembered that he had given all the cigarettes to Yoshiki Shokyu, he could only pull his hand out of his pocket helplessly.

However, just when Uozuka Saburo was about to open his mouth to bring up the topic, a box of cigarettes and a lighter were held in front of him by a fair and delicate hand.

"I knew it, Brother Uozuka, you didn't smoke at home all day today, you must have forgotten to bring your cigarettes. I remember this is the brand you usually smoke, right~"

"Good, your observation is very detailed." With a slight twinkle in his eyes, Uozuka Saburo smiled and took the cigarette from Miyano Akemi's hand. He opened the package swiftly, lit it, put it in his mouth and took a sip.

Neither of them walked fast, and they seemed to be walking aimlessly.

It was clearly said that he followed Uozuka Saburo's instructions, and the two of them were chatting and walking around, but after walking around in a circle, it was still Uozuka Saburo who sent Miyano Akemi back.

"Then I'll go upstairs, Brother Uozuka?" Standing downstairs of the apartment, Miyano Akemi took two steps forward and then turned around and waved to Saburo Uozuka.

"Akira, don't you have anything you want to tell me?" Pursing his lips, Uozuka Saburo looked at the smiling Miyano Akemi and asked softly.

"I think so. But if you have time in the future, brother Uozuka, please come and see us more often~" Touching her lips, Miyano Akemi smiled and shook her head.

"Don't worry, I'll come when I'm free." He nodded with a smile and watched Miyano Akemi turn around and go upstairs. Uozuka Saburo stood there motionless for a moment before turning around and taking a step forward.

"Shiho, your sister is much gentler than you think."

273: Uozuka-san, you are really interesting

"Snapped!"

The paint bullet hit the wall beside Uozuka Saburo's head, and the splashed paint narrowly passed over Uozuka Saburo's head.

With a somewhat unhappy sigh, Uozuka Saburo rolled out of his own shelter, and after two or three big leaps, he arrived behind another shelter.

He has been chased and beaten like this for a long time.

But there was nothing Uozuka Saburo could do. If it was a close-range melee, Uozuka Saburo was still very confident in himself.

But in the current venue, Kurosawa Hotaru and Uozuka Saburo are simulating a close-range street fight and gunfight. Apart from hitting the opponent with paint bullets to gain points, they are not allowed to take any other offensive means.

Well, the rules were set by Vermouth. This woman who loved to watch the fun followed with great interest when she knew that Kurosawa Hotaru was going to invite her to train together today. She didn't care at all about how much trouble her appearance would bring to Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru when she walked on the street.

After watching Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru's simple warm-up, unarmed combat, and armed combat competition training, Vermouth felt that it was not exciting enough and suggested that Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru have a gun competition.

Of course, apart from the sniper event, which Uozuka Saburo would definitely not admit defeat and could not be easily compared, Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru did not care much about this proposal because it was a long distance away from the nearest training base with a competition venue.

Then, Vermouth, the woman with great connections, brought the two of them to an indoor real-life paintball shooting base that had not yet opened for business and was even simply decorated.

Although Uozuka Saburo felt helpless about this, he saw that Kurosawa Hotaru suddenly became interested, so he had to swallow his anger.

I will risk my life for you today. Even if I cannot win, it is not shameful to lose to my elder sister.

Besides, who says that you will definitely lose? What if you feel particularly good today and beat the big sister, wouldn’t you be very happy!

Then, five minutes into the battle, when the paint bullet from Kurosawa Hotaru's gun hit Uozuka Saburo first, Uozuka Saburo knew that he had been thinking too much.

When it comes to firearms, Kurosawa Hotaru's strength and talent are much better than his own.

Apart from some limited counterattacks and effective attacks that were made by leveraging his understanding of Kurosawa Hotaru over the years, it was difficult for Uozuka Saburo to have any effective impact on Kurosawa Hotaru with the paintball gun in his hand.

Thus, this pursuit battle that lasted for more than half an hour was ended with Uozuka Saburo "changing into a set of colorful clothes" and Kurosawa Hotaru running out of bullets.

"Hehe, it seems that you still have a big gap in the use of firearms."

Smiling at Uozuka Saburo who was 'covered in blood', and Kurosawa Hotaru who had only a few spots of color on her clothes, Vermouth laughed happily as Uozuka Saburo's face became increasingly ugly.

"Okay, go take a shower. By the way, the renovation here isn't finished yet, and there's only one bathroom over there with plumbing. Xiaoying, go first. I think Uozuka-san should have no objection~"

"Well, of course I have no objection." Although he really wanted to wash off the paint and paintballs on his body as soon as possible, since Vermouth had spoken, what else could Uozuka Saburo say?

Kurosawa Hotaru did not reply. He just watched Uozuka Saburo walk to the side and sit down, then walked towards the bathroom on his own.

Anyway, ever since Vermouth secretly decided to call Kurosawa Hotaru "Xiao Hotaru", Kurosawa Hotaru would ignore her every time Vermouth called her that.

"How was it, Uozuka-kun? Did you find today's training interesting?"

Sitting on one side with legs crossed, looking at Uozuka Saburo, who was not far away from her but had actually created some space between them, Vermouth blinked and took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence between the two.

"It's okay, but this kind of gun is really uncomfortable to use." Shaking the paintball gun in his hand, Saburo Uozuka did not feel uncomfortable facing Vermouth's sudden conversation.

Anyway, Vermouth has already been regarded as a fickle person by Uozuka Saburo. No matter what this woman suddenly does, Uozuka Saburo will not be surprised.

My own code of conduct is very simple. If you ask me, I will answer. If you don't ask me, I won't tell you. I won't lie about what I can tell, and I won't know what I can't tell.

"Oh, then you never trained in gun combat during your previous training?" Looking at Uozuka Saburo with some curiosity, Vermouth did not say that she was someone who came out of the organization's training base.

It should be said that the training base was established less than the time when Vermouth joined the organization, and Vermouth, who has never been very curious about such things, does not know much about the various projects in the training base.

If it weren't for Kurosawa Hotaru, Vermouth wouldn't even want to know the most basic information.

"Of course we have, but we all use real guns, the modified ones, so the power is slightly smaller. We also use blank bullets. We put some protection on the key parts and then go ahead." Holding his neck and twisting it, Saburo Uozuka said casually.

"It hurts to be hit, but pain is the training effect, isn't it?"

"Well said, this is indeed a good training." She nodded in agreement. Although she didn't know whether Vermouth was really interested, she was indeed responding to Uozuka Saburo's topic.

"Don't be discouraged. Although you can't beat Xiaoying, your strength is also very good, Uozuka brother. You will definitely grow very powerful in the future. And you also have a good master. Although I don't want to admit it, there should be no one better than your master in the action team."

"If he heard this, he would probably be so proud that his mouth would turn up to the sky." Shaking his head with amusement, Uozuka Saburo seemed to have already seen Vodka's smug look.

“Although you and Vodka don’t seem to have a good relationship, but brother Uozuka, you still listen to your master very much~” With her right fist clenched and her thumb resting against her chin, Vermouth looked at Saburo Uozuka with a smile.

"Did Vodka tell you to be so careful with me?"

"Yes, the master did tell me so, and I think he is right."

"Oh why?"

"Because you are so beautiful, Vermouth. If I'm not careful, I'm worried that I'll behave inappropriately in front of the big sister, and then I'll be really ruined."

"Haha, hahaha, very interesting. Brother Uozuka you are really very interesting." After hearing the answer from Uozuka Saburo, Vermouth suddenly laughed happily, and her graceful body kept rising and falling with laughter.

"Since you answered so honestly, how about I give you a special discount~"

"You can ask me a question, and I will tell you whatever it is~"

274: Fuck, do you really think I don’t have a temper?

"really?"

His eyes lit up instantly. He didn't expect that Vermouth would say this to him. Uozuka Saburo suddenly felt a surge of surprise in his heart.

"Of course, I wouldn't lie about something like this, right?"

Looking at Uozuka Saburo with amusement, Vermouth laughed triumphantly.

She knew that Uozuka Saburo would not let go of the bait she had thrown out.

Her behavior these days has been very obvious. Vermouth can be sure that the curiosity in Uozuka Saburo's heart has reached a threshold. He was unable to speak up before due to many reasons, but this time she gave him a chance, and it would be a strange decision if he did not ask the question.

"Okay, tell me what you want to know."

“Well, I’m a little embarrassed, but I’m still a little curious.” Touching the back of his head, Saburo Uozuka looked at Vermouth a little embarrassedly, as if what he was about to say next was very difficult to say.

"It's okay, just say it." Looking at Uozuka Saburo with a smile, Vermouth encouraged Uozuka Saburo to be bolder.

“Okay then!” After taking a deep breath, as if encouraged by Vermouth, Uozuka Saburo finally made up his mind and looked at Vermouth expectantly and seriously.

"I've actually always wanted to ask this. Master said, Vermouth, you're also a veteran in the organization, right?"

"Hmm? That's right, I have been in the organization for many years." His eyes changed slightly, and Vermouth suddenly felt that the way Uozuka Saburo opened the topic was different from what she had expected.

However, the situation has come to this point, and Vermouth can only follow Uozuka Saburo's words for the time being.

“Right, Master also said that you have worked together in the organization for many years, and you can even call Vermouth his senior.” Nodding in agreement, and seeing Vermouth cooperating with him, Uozuka Saburo smiled even more happily.

"So although it may be a bit presumptuous, I am really very curious, how old are you this year, Vermouth?"

"..." The smile on her face froze slightly, and Vermouth narrowed her eyes slowly, staring at the face of Uozuka Saburo who was looking at her with a silly smile, as if he had no other intentions at all, and was just simply curious.

"I can't answer this question for you. After all, age is a secret that cannot be easily mentioned for every lady~"

Without making the atmosphere in the room more entangled and awkward, Vermouth laughed again after a moment of silence and winked at Uozuka Saburo as if jokingly.

"Also, as a gentleman, it is very rude to ask a lady's age easily. You must remember this, Mr. Uozuka."

"Oh, sorry, I'm just too nice. I won't do it again next time." After hearing what Vermouth said, Uozuka Saburo nodded obediently, looking very sorry that what he did was indeed lacking in consideration.

"Sure enough, I'm still a bad talker and always say the wrong thing. The big sister always got mad at me because of this."

Looking at Vermouth embarrassedly, Saburo Uozuka's expression was full of guilt.

"I'm still only good at more straightforward tasks. It's really hard to be out of my mind."

“Are you having a problem with your brain~” Looking at Uozuka Saburo with interesting eyes, Vermouth had already reacted at this moment and was looking at Uozuka Saburo with a half-smile.

As a movie queen who is a household name in the country, Vermouth would certainly not be fooled by such a poor performance by Saburo Uozuka.

Of course, Saburo Uozuka did not expect that his acting skills, which were only rated as B grade within the organization, could deceive Vermouth, a shrewd and non-human guy.

He was just expressing an attitude, an attitude that both he and Vermouth were aware of.

"I think that you, Brother Uozuka, have a very good brain. You will definitely shine in the organization and become a great figure in the future."

"Alas, I'm just contributing my abilities to the organization. Besides, if a person like me didn't have the big sister's protection, maybe something would have happened to me long ago. In the future, I won't ask for anything else. I'll just follow the big sister and carry out missions. Anyway, the big sister can't cheat me." With a dissipated shrug, Uozuka Saburo said something that had no ambition at all, but left Vermouth with no way to refute.

Because she has tested the bond and relationship between Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru more than once, she deeply understands that such behavior of hers will not only fail to achieve some interesting scenes that she wants to see, but will also make the two people more disgusted and wary of her.

Vermouth was too lazy to do too much of this thankless task.

"I will do whatever the big sister tells me to do. If the big sister has anything to tell me, I will just listen. As a younger brother, I don't need to think so much."

Looking at Vermouth with a smile, a hint of seriousness and sarcasm, without any disguise, flashed in Uozuka Saburo's slightly narrowed eyes.

That’s right, although he didn’t say it explicitly, in terms of his attitude, Uozuka Saburo had already openly confronted Vermouth.

"You can't influence the relationship between me and the big sister. Instead of wasting time on picking a fight, you might as well take care of your skin. I don't know how old you are, but you're still pretending to be young!"

Although such words cannot be said directly, but combined with Uozuka Saburo's previous questions and words, plus the look in his eyes now, it is enough for Vermouth to feel what Uozuka Saburo means.

Well, and Vermouth also really understood Uozuka Saburo's idea.

To be honest, because of Vodka's warning and the pressure brought to him by Vermouth's actions in recent days, Saburo Uozuka did not want to provoke this terrible witch unless it was absolutely necessary.

but!

No matter who you are, there must be a limit to what you do!

I can see that there's something unusual between you and Big Sister, so I don't usually join in when you tease Big Sister.

But you keep teasing the big sister like this, and you want to sow discord between yourself and the big sister, making the big sister unhappy every day?

Fuck, you really don’t treat me, Uozuka Saburo, as a human being!

How are the elite cadres in the organization? How are the old people in the organization?

At this distance, I can swing my punch faster than you can draw your gun!

Do you really think I have no temper?

With the intention of standing up for Kurosawa Hotaru, the momentum that erupted from Uozuka Saburo at this moment could be said to be extremely violent, and he rushed towards Vermouth head-on without any disguise.

Such violent and fierce murderous aura made Vermouth frown involuntarily, and her body tensed up subconsciously, ready to dodge at any time.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Vermouth already felt the threat from Uozuka Saburo at this moment!

However, the stalemate between the two did not last long.
