Gin likes me?

"Vermouth, I don't care who is around Uozuka, but you. No."

"No one can take the fish grave away from me except you."

"...Hearing such comments, I really don't know whether to cry or laugh." Looking at Kurosawa Hotaru who was looking at her with a serious and cold face, even Vermouth couldn't help but pinch her wrinkled brows and suppressed the curse in her heart.

Vermouth was very happy to be repeatedly affirmed by Kurosawa Hotaru's charm, but Kurosawa Hotaru's attitude that she would definitely fall in love with Uozuka Saburo really made Vermouth stomachache and annoyed.

Why do I feel so frustrated when my daughter, whom I raise, is worried that I might steal someone else's boyfriend? !

Who is she, Vermouth? She has been the most beautiful girl in the organization since she joined it! She has charmed countless members!

And her public identity makes her an international film queen that countless men pursue and express their love to!

A woman like me who writes book reviews has met all kinds of men and can find all kinds of men!

Do you still like Uozuka-san?

Only a silly girl like you, Kurosawa Hotaru, who has been held in the hand of Uozuka-kun since childhood, would treat him as a treasure! Otherwise, who would care about you!

Well, the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family also has some problems in her brain! It's obvious that she has read too many fairy tales and is obsessed with her princess dream!

Hey, there's also the policewoman! You're a policewoman, a policewoman! You're a policewoman... Check... Can't you tell that you're an undercover?

No wonder Japanese police are criticized by the media every day, they deserve it!

Vermouth was getting angrier and angrier the more she thought about it, so she couldn't help but sit up straight. Her phoenix eyes were full of anger and her voice was gritting her teeth, which was a rare sound.

"Remember Xiaoying, I, Vermouth, always keep my word!"

"I will never fall in love with a bear-like idiot like Uozuka Saburo!"

"It's impossible in this life!"

517: I can’t stop

"I'm back, um, what's wrong with you guys?"

Saburo Uozuka, who had just returned to the apartment with his hands full of food, looked at the strange atmosphere in the apartment and couldn't help but lower his voice.

"Nothing, I'm just a little hungry waiting, Uozuka-kun, why don't you hurry up and prepare the food?"

"Is that so? Just wait a moment, I'll get started."

He raised his eyebrows. Although he was dissatisfied with Vermouth's attitude towards him, the subtle feeling in his heart made Uozuka Saburo give up arguing with Vermouth and choose to temporarily avoid the living room which obviously had a strange atmosphere.

"Could it be that Vermouth provoked the Big Sister again and made the Big Sister angry?"

While preparing the food, Uozuka Saburo had strange thoughts in his mind.

This idea seems very likely to Uozuka Saburo, because Vermouth likes to play tricks, and this is not the first or second time she has teased Kurosawa Hotaru, and basically every time she is fought back by Kurosawa Hotaru, but she still enjoys doing it.

But that doesn’t make sense. If that were the case, Vermouth shouldn’t have suddenly felt so resentful towards herself. Does that mean I’m also at fault this time?

But... If it was about her, why would Vermouth be angrier than Kurosawa Hotaru? It doesn't make sense.

Even after Uozuka Saburo prepared the food and called Kurosawa Hotaru and Vermouth to the table, Uozuka Saburo still didn't understand the ins and outs.

Of course, Kurosawa Hotaru and Vermouth would never let Uozuka Saburo know what they had talked about before.

"Didn't Uozuka-san say before that he wasn't planning to leave and return to Neon for the time being~"

After picking up a piece of meat and putting it into her mouth, Vermouth recovered from her initial strange mood and looked at Uozuka Saburo with a smile, breaking the dull atmosphere at the table again.

"What's matter?"

His eyes flickered, and Uozuka Saburo was somewhat reluctant to answer Vermouth's words.

After all, to Uozuka Saburo, Vermouth is directly equated with trouble.

Knowing that he had no mission and was still idle in Magnesium, Vermouth would most likely drag him into some troublesome situation and make him a laborer and thug.

However, this time, Uozuka Saburo was indeed wrong.

"No, no, it's not us, it's Uozuka-san, what's the matter with you~"

The smile on her face did not fade, and Vermouth shook the hand holding the chopsticks slightly, as if to say, "You can't hide it from me."

"Brother Yuzhong, you may be angry with me. I just happened to hear you talking on the phone on the balcony. You know, we killers have very good hearing, and when we see someone talking on the phone, we will instinctively lean over to listen. It's really instinct."

"Tsk, what did you hear?"

With his eyebrows locked, Uozuka Saburo glanced sideways at Kurosawa Hotaru, who was still picking up the dishes calmly, but her eyes were obviously looking at him, waiting for him to speak, so she reluctantly started to speak.

Then he turned his fierce eyes towards Vermouth.

Regardless of whether Uozuka Saburo would believe Vermouth's joking statement... Well, it was impossible to believe it. Uozuka Saburo was just angry about why he didn't notice the sneaky Vermouth when he contacted her on the phone!

"Just some simple messages, like 'prepare to act', 'make a feint to the east and attack in the west', 'break in directly' and 'FBI' or something like that~"

Looking at Uozuka Saburo with a smile, Vermouth said something that she felt was very bad after hearing some bits and pieces of it.

"So, what exactly is Uozuka planning in Magnesium Country? Especially since he even involves the FBI, Xiaoying is very worried about you, Uozuka~"

"I just wanted to give it a try on a whim." Helplessly looking at Kurosawa Hotaru who had locked his eyes on him, Uozuka Saburo sighed, put down his chopsticks and began to tell the story.

"Because you discovered a suspected undercover agent during the operation, you want to hack into the FBI archives to collect intelligence? I have to say, Brother Uozuka, your idea is really reckless."

With her slender fingers tapping lightly on the table, Vermouth looked at Uozuka Saburo with a half-smile as he finished his story.

Because they discovered the flaws in Rum's recruitment operation, they wanted to take the initiative to ensure the internal security of the Neon Organization as much as possible?

Vermouth was not going to make any comment on this when she finished, she just laughed it off.

"Okay, I know this idea is a bit far-fetched, but I still feel a little unwilling."

He shrugged his shoulders, knowing that Vermouth was teasing him in disguise, and Uozuka Saburo was not angry.

After all, even he himself knew how impulsive this action was.

But Uozuka Saburo also has his own reasons.

Although he had comforted Kimura Takashi before and told him not to act rashly, as it had been confirmed that CIA personnel had appeared in the organization and the FBI had also sent people in, Uozuka Saburo had never lost his vigilance.

He was not worried that he would be caught by them due to some accident.

But he hated this feeling of being on guard all the time.

Especially since he has people like Suzuki Ayako and Hagiwara Chisou around him who have nothing to do with the organization but are close to him.

Saburo Uozuka didn't want the girls around him to be exposed to the CIA and FBI, which are official and formal, but in fact, a den of filth, because of him.

"Tell me about the plan, Uozuka."

"Hey, big sister, stop it, you just..."

"Uozuka, you're too long-winded."

"...All right."

Now that Kurosawa Hotaru has spoken like this, what else can I say?

Saburo Uozuka knew in his heart that as long as Kurosawa Hotaru knew his plan, he would never have the chance to act behind Kurosawa Hotaru's back again.

"I'm on vacation, but I have to attend these troublesome things one after another. Brother Uozuka, how are you going to compensate me~"

"Actually, you don't have to go to Vermouth. I think it might be more convenient to move around without you."

"...You saw it, Xiaoying, I said, only you would treat a man like this as a treasure."

"Huh? What kind of divisive statement is this?"

"No, I just want to say that you are really not likable at all, Uozuka-kun~"

"Really? Thank you so much~"

. . .

Although the plan was beyond Uozuka's own expectations, with the help of Kurosawa Hotaru and Vermouth, Uozuka and his team actually broke into a high-level FBI branch.

Although the final result only further confirmed the existence of an FBI undercover agent in the organization, which made Saburo Uozuka feel a little regretful, Vermouth on the other side was extremely happy.

This time, there was no need to ask for instructions from the organization, and the harvest could be said to be very rich. Just the documents and intelligence that Vermouth brought out would definitely allow Vermouth to hold her head high and be proud and dignified when reporting in front of the boss.

Of course, this is also what Uozuka Saburo finds most difficult to accept.

"My original action plan ended up with you being the one who gained the most, Vermouth. Do you think this is reasonable?"

"It makes sense. It makes so much sense. Uozuka-san, you are my lucky star. I love you. Ahem, it's just an exaggeration. Xiaoying, please don't look at me like that."

The unsatisfactory harvest did not make Uozuka Saburo too happy, but the three consecutive days of dull daily life with Kurosawa Hotaru still made Uozuka Saburo excited.

"So I think, after all you said, apart from the time you went to rescue Miss Kurosawa, the rest of the things don't seem to be serious matters, right?"

Shaking the wine glass in his hand, Kimura Takashi looked with subtle eyes at Uozuka Saburo who had returned to Neon to look for him to drink.

"That's really hurtful. I've already confirmed that there are FBI agents in Neon's organization."

After blinking, Uozuka Saburo made a hurt expression that made Kimura Ying feel nauseous.

"Heh, it's like if you don't confirm, we will just pretend that there is no FBI in the organization. There are already two CIA members who have been found out, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are other people."

"Okay, I'm used to the fact that you like to criticize people when you talk." He shrugged indifferently, drank a glass of beer, and let out a refreshing breath.

"You were watching Daimon and Mizunashi Reina the whole time?"

"Well, I'm watching. There haven't been any strange actions recently, but there are indeed some developments regarding Mizunashi Rena."

Putting a string of roasted bird eggs into his mouth, Kimura Ying spoke vaguely.

"Because she has a good image, Rum said he was going to find her a relatively official identity that would make it easier to collect intelligence."

"Official capacity? Police?"

"Not really. Although we have people among the police, it's not easy to send them in now. From what I know, Rum is now more of a cooperative way to find 'companions' among the police. Now you know why Rum insisted on letting you deal with that group of guys before."

"Tsk, the funds are running out, they are really cruel to attack their own people."

He curled his lips. Although Saburo Uozuka did not ask too many questions after meeting Vermouth in Magnesium this time, the original idea became more and more certain in his heart.

There must be a close connection between Vermouth and the organization's biggest secret.

"According to current thinking, he is most likely a TV host or something like that. After all, with this identity, he has many opportunities to get in touch with the police and official sources. After all, he is a Japanese policeman."

Shrugging his shoulders, Kimura Takashi didn't say it too firmly, but Uozuka Saburo had already understood the meaning of his words.

"Whatever. It won't have much impact on us anyway. Besides, my boss asked me to behave myself. Even Rum can't order me to do troublesome and tedious tasks anymore."

Laughing at his winning streak, Saburo Uozuka was very satisfied with his current status.

Saburo Uozuka felt that he really needed to lie low for a while. According to the 'List of Dangerous People in the World' compiled for him by Andrea Vitels and Kimura Takashi on the international dark web, vodka was at the top of the list.

Saburo Uozuka never treated other people in the world as fools, and he knew that anything he did could never be foolproof.

But when he actually saw his ranking as a dangerous person, the deeds below his name and the bounty next to his name, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

I used to be a future flower, proudly wearing a red scarf under the red flag, but how come I became like this after changing into a new world?

It was also on that day that Uozuka Saburo used a whole box of cigarettes to commemorate his lost innocence and sincerity, and then... he laughed out loud in the doting look in Suzuki Ayako's eyes, as if she was watching a child playing.

Anyway, this is also a proof of Uozuka Saburo's strength!

In other words, it's just like the bounty in Black Thief King! It's a symbol of status!

Judging from his bounty and ranking of danger level, if not among the Four Emperors, he should be at least at the level of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

Saburo Uozuka felt that the middle school spirit hidden deep in his heart was satisfied!

Then, when Suzuki Ayako asked with a smile whether the Suzuki family should pay another reward to help Uozuka Saburo gild his image, he calmly chose to give up.

Well, excitement is only temporary. As a killer, it is my duty to keep a low profile.

Mainly because when he thought about the fact that the bounty he had worked so hard for was not even enough to buy a sports car that his good girlfriend had randomly picked for him, Uozuka Saburo felt confused, and he could only vent his confusion on Suzuki Ayako who was watching the fun with a smile beside him.

Oh! So what if I have money!

What men want is status! It is the domineering attitude of letting the other party know what position to change with just one move!

Ahem, that’s what I mean.

He silently poured himself another glass of wine, and Uozuka Saburo's expression was no longer as calm and playful as before.

"In fact, Kimura, if I hadn't received a call from Rum, I might have stayed in Magnesium for a few more days with my elder sister."

"Uh, so you were called back by Rum? That shouldn't be the case."
