Gin likes me?

"But since I became a cadre with a liquor name, Rum has no such intention at all. My course of action is still very single." Taking over Kimura Takashi's words, Uozuka Saburo was very calm at the moment.

After all, the things that Kimura Takashi is saying now are all things that Uozuka Saburo has already suspected and guessed.

Saburo Uozuka had already sensed that he was being intentionally isolated by Rum. He thought that the appearance of Chianti and Cohen was also Rum's way of alleviating his vigilance and suspicion a little.

After all, the Class C members of the two action teams, even those with wine names, are different from cadres like Uozuka Saburo in terms of their true identities.

However, Uozuka Saburo doesn't care about all these now. The only thing he wants to know is why Kimura Takashi said that he was intentionally isolated by Rum and why it was related to Kurosawa Hotaru.

"That's right. Actually, when I thought about the reason based on the information I got, it's not hard to understand." Looking at Uozuka Saburo with a heavy face, Kimura Ying spoke helplessly.

"That is, the person in the organization that your big sister, Miss Kurosawa Hotaru, wants to kill is not an ordinary member of the organization. It is very likely that he is a cadre who holds an important position in the magnesium country organization. Yes, he is someone that Rum may have to pay attention to and be wary of."

"Although I don't understand why Hotaru Kurosawa has been able to survive in the organization for so long with such an idea, from Rum's attitude, it can be seen that he believes that a conflict between Hotaru Kurosawa and the mysterious member is bound to break out. By then, only one person will be able to stay in the organization."

"So, in this situation, Rum wants to use his attitude of isolating me to show that he doesn't want to intervene in the fight between Big Sister and that mysterious member? No, it's too simple for Rum to think like this. Rum knows Big Sister's talent and my ability. He is worried that after I grow up and get to know more people in the organization, I will eventually intervene in Big Sister's fight."

His eyes kept flickering, and although Uozuka Saburo's expression was very gloomy now, his speech speed was indeed getting faster and his mind was becoming clearer.

"Rum doesn't want me to get involved in this struggle. He wants to unilaterally keep me as a capable member for the sake of Neon's organization, and let the big sister and the mysterious member solve the conflict between themselves. In the end, no matter who stays, it will not be a loss for Rum."

"It seems that the mysterious member is very special in the organization." Feeling a toothache, Saburo Uozuka sighed with a sullen face.

Although he knew that Kurosawa Hotaru had been hiding something, Uozuka Saburo had never expected that what Kurosawa Hotaru was hiding would be so dangerous!

At this moment, thinking back to when Kurosawa Hotaru first responded to my question, she said with a firm attitude, "I'll tell you when the opportunity is right," and her meaning was very clear.

What is the right opportunity? According to Uozuka Saburo's guess, when Kurosawa Hotaru tells him about this matter, it means that Kurosawa Hotaru has already dealt with the mysterious member by herself, and will only tell him after the dust has settled.

However, this is not something that Uozuka Saburo can accept!

"Well, what you thought is also what I thought at the beginning, but after I thought about it calmly for a while, I felt something was wrong." Touching his chin with a little stubble, Kimura Ying's voice interrupted Uozuka Saburo's thoughts.

"No, what's wrong?"

"Well, I'm not sure about that. I don't have the confidence to tell you. But, I've been with Rum for almost twenty years, so I know his temper and personality very well."

With the corner of his mouth twitched, Kimura Taka looked at Uozuka Saburo with subtle eyes.

"This is the last question I want to ask you, Uozuka."

"Why do you think Rum secretly assigned the two snipers that he had finally obtained from the Magnesium Organization to your subordinates after you became a famous cadre?"

"...Because he thinks highly of me?"

"I think that's one thing, but I always have an idea, Uozuka."

With his hands crossed on the table, Kimura Ying spoke word by word.

"In this matter, Rum is not like you think, wanting to stay out of it and just ensure his own safety."

375: You are begging me now

At the end of the conversation, neither Uozuka Saburo nor Kimura Taka could come up with any clear answer to the matter.

After saying goodbye to Kimura Takashi in the bar, Uozuka Saburo staggered back to the apartment which used to belong to his master and now had become his complete property.

Collapsing on the sofa and looking at the unlit living room, in the dim and vague world, Uozuka Saburo suddenly felt a sense of quiet and peace.

Yes, he was a little overworked.

Mingming thought that he had already dealt with the most dangerous situation in recent times and had also brought Kimura Takashi to his side. From now on, he would be safer in the organization and would not be easily suspected by Rum.

However, the news that Uozuka Saburo heard from Kimura Taka tonight was undoubtedly like being struck by lightning, and he was in a daze and could not believe it.

Although Uozuka Saburo had always promised Kurosawa Hotaru that he would listen to her personal explanation, today he decided to betray Kurosawa Hotaru's trust for the first time.

He wanted to know more details about the matter of Kurosawa Hotaru. If it was really as dangerous as Kimura Takashi said, Uozuka Saburo would never just watch Kurosawa Hotaru work alone!

He quickly made up his mind, and took out his cell phone, found a number, thought for a moment, gave up the idea of ​​making a call, and instead edited an email.

Although the email contained quite a few words, Uozuka Saburo was able to finish writing it quickly thanks to his fast writing speed.

After reading his email from beginning to end, Saburo Uozuka pursed his lips, closed his eyes and pressed the send button.

"Huh!~" He let out a long breath. It was just a mail sent, but Uozuka Saburo felt as if he had gone through a severe test.

But to be precise, Uozuka Saburo did feel that his soul was being tested and he felt guilty. After all, he had promised Kurosawa Hotaru that he would always believe in her.

Although his actions were intended to ensure Kurosawa Hotaru's safety, in the final analysis, this undoubtedly showed that he did not trust Kurosawa Hotaru.

"I guess the big sister will be very angry after knowing this. But even if it makes the big sister angry, it is better than doing nothing!" He said these words to comfort himself and continued to strengthen his heart. After sending the email, Saburo Uozuka was about to change clothes, wash up and rest. As soon as he stood up, he was startled by the sudden ringing of his cell phone.

Turning his head suddenly to look at the caller ID on his phone, Saburo Uozuka blinked, bent down to pick up the phone, and after his fingers trembled hesitantly, he pressed the answer button.

"Hey?"

"Hey, Uozuka-san, we haven't been in touch for a long time~"

"Nonsense, I called you not long ago to ask for your help." After subconsciously retorting to Vermouth, Saburo Uozuka came to his senses, coughed lightly, and sat back on the sofa.

"Really? It turns out that besides helping me, Uozuka-san couldn't he care about me? I'm so sad."

"Sister, this is really interesting... Ahem, Vermouth, you are replying to my message at this time, are you taking a break?"

"Oh~ I actually managed to hold back from complaining about this sentence. It seems that you have something very important to ask of me, brother Uozuka." With her eyes narrowed up and smiling, Vermouth crossed her legs, and her tone suddenly became light and teasing.

You know, since she met Uozuka Saburo, Vermouth has never seen Uozuka Saburo have such a peaceful attitude.

"Tell me, what happened to make our 'Bao Xiong' bow down like this? It can't be related to Xiaoying~"

"...Big Sister, is she by your side now?"

“Is it really related to Xiaoying?” Raising her eyebrows, Vermouth slightly restrained the smile on her face and sat up slightly.

"Xiaoying is not with me now. She went to the shooting range to train alone. Tell me, what happened?"

"... Vermouth, I have a question for you." He took a deep breath. This was the only person Uozuka Saburo could think of.

Apart from himself, among the members of the organization that Uozuka Saburo knew, the only person who obviously had a good relationship with Kurosawa Hotaru and whom he could talk to was the witch Vermouth, who had always been at odds with him.

"Big Sister, is there someone in the Magnesium organization who must be killed?"

"Hmm? Interesting, Brother Uozuka, I remember you once said that we must hear Xiaoying say it in person, right?" The beautiful eyes began to waver, and even the always calm Vermouth couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.

Vermouth was somewhat shocked when she heard the news from Uozuka Saburo.

You know, in the organization of Magnesium, only those cadres who have been in the organization for a certain number of years know something about this matter. Among the cadres of the organization in Japan, except for Rum and Pisk, no one else knows the news.

And Rum would never tell this to Saburo Uozuka, as for Pisker.

With a disdainful smile on her lips, Vermouth didn't believe that the old guy who had no fighting spirit and only focused on fighting for power in the organization would want to get involved in such troublesome things.

"Tsk, you just need to tell me whether this thing happened or not, Vermouth." After being retorted by Uozuka Saburo, Uozuka Saburo felt very aggrieved and ashamed.

These were the words that he had used to retort at the beginning, but today, Vermouth was using them to mock him.

"Let me think about it. Vodka, who knows about this, is your master, Yuzhong. He is already dead. The member who often follows you to complete missions without a name, obviously doesn't know about this. Chianti and Cohen, the two guys who only know how to snipe? Well, they are not qualified."

"The person who was able to find out this news and then tell your brother Uozuka... Oh, I remember that it seems that there was a period of time last year, that member of the Neon Intelligence Department named Cherry Brandy came to the Magnesium Organization and stayed for quite a long time~" Touching her chin lightly with her fingers, ignoring Saburo Uozuka's questions, Vermouth quickly came to her own analysis.

"That guy has only been in the Magnesium Organization for a few days, and he has already been hated by some male members. But it's also true that a man who is so charming and knows how to use his charm is very rare in the organization. It's no wonder that those women are eager to get close to him~"

"I guess he got the information about Xiaoying from those women and then told you."

Laughing out loud with some happiness, Vermouth answered Uozuka Saburo's question in an attitude that Uozuka Saburo could not understand at all.

"I didn't expect that Cherry Brandy has such a good relationship with you, Uozuka-san. It's really interesting. He was brought up by Rum, but he would do this for you."

"Vermouth, you know that's not what I want to hear."

"Oh, your tone really scared me, Uozuka-san, you are the one begging me now, this attitude is not good~"

"..."

376: This is a secret between me and Uozuka-san~

"Please tell me what's going on with the big sister, Vermouth."

After taking a deep breath, Uozuka Saburo simply bowed his head and admitted his defeat like Vermouth.

He had thought it through clearly. The rivalry between him and Vermouth was far less important than Kurosawa Hotaru's importance to him.

As long as he can get the information he wants from Vermouth, it doesn't matter if he lets Vermouth be proud. He is just showing weakness and there is not much loss.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that you, brother Uozuka, would actually say such a thing. I am so happy and angry." Caught off guard by Uozuka Saburo's straightforward words, Vermouth did not expect Uozuka Saburo to be so direct.

Now, she felt a little embarrassed to tease Uozuka Saburo too much.

If it were any other time, a little bickering wouldn't matter, but now Uozuka Saburo has shown weakness, and it's because of Kurosawa Hotaru that he's showing weakness to me. If I continue to tease Uozuka Saburo, then their decent relationship will really become nothing at all.

And to be honest, when Vermouth saw Uozuka Saburo showing weakness to her because of Kurosawa Hotaru, she felt mixed emotions.

From the very beginning, Vermouth had planned to have Kurosawa Hotaru sever his relationship with Uozuka Saburo, but there has been no development until now.

Knowing that she had missed the best time to intervene, Vermouth did not want to continue to be hated by Kurosawa Hotaru and Uozuka Saburo because of such things, so she just let it go over time.

However, based on Saburo Uozuka's performance today, Vermouth felt a lot more relieved.

This brat really regards Kurosawa Hotaru as the most important person to him.

Although Vermouth felt that such a relationship was even more out of place in this deformed organization, Vermouth did not hate the bond and relationship between Kurosawa Hotaru and Uozuka Saburo.

"You know the same news. Xiaoying said that there is indeed a member in the organization that she wants to kill. The reason why she trains herself so hard and must become an elite cadre in the organization is to achieve this goal."

"Why?" The voice was low and hoarse. Hearing that Vermouth finally mentioned the part he wanted to know, Uozuka Saburo ignored the previous embarrassment and listened to the phone attentively.

“Of course it’s because of a grudge~” Although there was still a hint of smile in her tone, compared to the playfulness at the beginning, Vermouth was now obviously a little serious.

"As for this matter, I can only tell you part of it. In fact, brother Uozuka, you are absolutely right about one thing. This matter must be told to you by Xiaoying in person." Her eyes were a little vague. Thinking of the thin figure who had accompanied her on missions and completed her training by her side in the past two years, a trace of heartache flashed in Vermouth's eyes.

"Otherwise, no matter you or I, Kurosawa Hotaru will dislike us. I believe that you, Uozuka-san, don't want to be disliked by Hotaru, right~"

"... Then, please tell me what I know now, Vermouth. Since I have already let my elder sister down for the first time, I will take this opportunity to clarify everything that should be clarified."

Silently lighting a cigarette, scenes of him and Kurosawa Hotaru kept flashing through Uozuka Saburo's mind, and his originally restless heart calmed down again.

Yes, in fact, the answer has been determined from the beginning.

They swore to each other that they would stay by each other's side, no matter what problems or difficulties they encountered!

"I like the determination in your tone, Brother Uozuka. Well, I will also betray my oath to Xiaoying and stand on your side~" Her tone became obviously happier, and as if tempted by the sound of Uozuka Saburo's lighter, Vermouth also lit a cigarette and held it in her mouth.

"Let me think about it, and start with why Hotaru appeared in Neon's organization~"

. . .

"Well, this is all I can tell you, Brother Uozuka. Do you understand what you need to do next?"

After putting out the third cigarette in the ashtray, Vermouth's voice became a little hoarse due to the long story, but this made her voice sound more charming.

However, this charm has absolutely no effect on the current Uozuka Saburo.

“Although it was a bit confusing and my head felt swollen, fortunately, the final conclusion was relatively simple and direct.”

After exhaling a long puff of smoke, Uozuka Saburo nodded heavily.

"In short, it's to improve your status in the organization together with the Big Sister, and then... seize the opportunity that will eventually come, and kill the bastard that the Big Sister hates! Make him grind to dust!"

"Although some of the adjectives are a bit harsh, I really like your speech." With a satisfied smile on her lips, Vermouth felt that from today on, she really had to change her attitude towards Uozuka Saburo.

"Well, I wish you, Brother Uozuka, to work harder in Neon. As for Xiaoying, it won't be long before you can have your own wine. By then, Brother Uozuka, you won't have too much time~"

"I know, this is enough." Taking a deep breath, Saburo Uozuka, who had already made up his mind, was not afraid at all.

Just as he said before, what Kurosawa Hotaru has to do is what he must accomplish!

That man is already dead! Even Jesus couldn't stop him, that's what Uozuka Saburo said!

"Well, just go ahead and do it boldly. As for Rum, your previous analysis has some reliable points, but many of them are still wrong. In short, Rum will not stop you from dealing with that guy. As for the rest, you can think about it slowly on your own." Hearing the sound of a key unlocking the door, Vermouth ended the conversation very decisively.

"Well, I'm going to hang up now. Good luck, Uozuka-san~"

"Well, thank you so much this time, Vermouth."

Hearing the voice of thanks coming from the phone, Vermouth smiled happily. Such a proud and happy smile made Kurosawa Hotaru, who pushed the door open and walked in, frowned strangely.

"what's going on?"

"Well, this is my secret, Hotaru."

"Huh, boring."
