Gin likes me?

Should we say that things are going even more smoothly than Uozuka Saburo imagined?

When accompanying Reiko Akiba to the London police station for investigation the next day, Saburo Uozuka also deliberately observed Vitas Mita who came to the police station.

Judging from the other party's attitude, Uto Eiichiro should have kept his promise to him and really did not tell him the truth.

This made Uozuka Saburo's colleagues feel relieved and also made them more curious about Uto Eiichiro.

According to the information sent to him by Kimura Takashi this morning, Uto Eiichiro had just been kidnapped last night. After returning to the embassy and resting for a day, he picked up his work again without delaying the handover with the Yingguo police.

According to the investigation report obtained by Kimura Takashi who invaded the internal intelligence network of the police station, Uto Eiichiro's answer was completely described in accordance with Uozuka Saburo's requirements. As long as Yingguo's room was investigated based on this report, they would never find anything on him.

"That person is really strange. If it were me, I would have made a similar decision in order to stabilize the kidnappers and protect my own life. But now that I'm back in a safe place, he's still keeping his promise with you without anyone knowing? Does he really want to be turned by you?"

The distressed voice reached Reiko Akiba's ears through the transatlantic phone call. Saburo Uozuka, who ran to the bathroom outside the theater to smoke, shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't understand what Eiichiro Uto was trying to do.

"Anyway, the current situation is favorable to us. I will personally handle the remaining matters after Uto Eiichiro returns to Neon."

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Saburo Uozuka, who had already made sure that there was no one else in the bathroom, was not too worried about discussing these confidential issues over the phone.

"Let's talk about something else. Li Ai should have gone back by now, right? How are your preparations going?"

"Li Ai's plane will land in an hour. After landing, she will rush to the location to get the briefcase. I have already hacked into the surveillance system of that area in advance. I will cooperate with Li Ai in the operation."

When mentioning this, Kimura Ying's tone became a little playful.

"I really didn't expect that under such circumstances, Uto Eiichiro would dare to play the trick of replacing the contents of the briefcase with another one, taking the contents out of the briefcase and storing them in a locker inside Tokyo Station, and leaving Neon with only the briefcase."

"I didn't expect this, but in the end the thing still fell into our hands, didn't it?"

His eyes flickered slightly, and Uozuka Saburo threw the cigarette into the trash can, and his voice became lowered.

"There is one thing I need you to promise me, Kimura."

"Well, tell me what's going on?"

"After you get those things, don't let anyone see what's inside until I get back."

"...including me?"

"include."

"I understand. I will keep it well and give it to you when you come back."

His attitude became serious. Although he was very curious about what information the organization wanted so much that it took so much effort to obtain, Kimura Takashi knew what was most important to him.

That was the trust of Uozuka Saburo, and the tacit understanding and close relationship they had cultivated with great difficulty.

Kimura Takashi doesn't want to ruin this relationship because of his momentary curiosity.

"Well, I'm relieved that you can handle it."

"Isn't that inevitable~" The atmosphere became cheerful again. Knowing that the important matters had been almost dealt with, Kimura Takashi also became interested in chatting more.

"By the way, how was your time with your 'niece' in London?"

"Don't speak in such a strange tone."

He curled his lips in dissatisfaction at first, but Uozuka Saburo was used to Kimura Taka's attitude towards himself and the girls around him.

"I finally relaxed a bit today. I drove to some tourist attractions this morning and had lunch at an old restaurant with good reviews. How should I put it? It was okay. It was much better than I expected."

"I am now in a theater, watching an opera with Lianzi. I guess this activity is not really suitable for me. I feel it is not as good as the concerts on TV."

"Hmm? I remember that you got an A in the art appraisal course, Uozuka. A large part of the knowledge was taught to you by me, right?"

"It's not that I don't understand, right? If you ask me to talk about something about this opera, I can tell you. Otherwise, how do you think I managed to watch it with Lianzi?"

Hearing Kimura Takashi's question, Uozuka Saburo subconsciously refuted it.

"But being able to watch it doesn't mean I like it, okay? There is an essential difference."

"Well, it seems that you are a pretty good uncle. What are we going to do after watching the opera? I would like to go to London when I have time. Can you help me check out some places?"

"I'll go back after I finish watching. What else would I do? Oh, by the way, tomorrow, Reiko and I are planning to go to Paris. Reiko has always wanted to go, and I can understand that. After all, she's a girl. I'm also going to buy some gifts for Ayako and Chisuka. Can you give me some advice?"

"...You really deserve a beating for saying that. But never mind. I am more familiar with Paris. I have been there before. I will send you a list of which stores and which products are selling well."

"OK, I knew that this kind of thing would be no problem for you, Kimura~"

"Don't be too happy too soon. You said it was Akiba Reiko who took the initiative to take you to Paris, right?"

"Uh, yeah, what's the problem?"

"What do you think? What is Paris? What does it mean to a girl who studies music and is influenced by art? What does it mean to a girl who has someone in her heart? You don't know anything at all?"

"...I'll take care of myself, nothing will go wrong!"

"Then I can only wish you the best. Oh, by the way, your injuries haven't healed yet, so remember to be gentle with your movements."

"Go, go, go! Go as far as you can!"

540: How do I compare with them?

"You've got fun this time, Reiko."

Uozuka Saburo was in a very good mood as he looked at Akiba Reiko who was sitting opposite him sipping red wine, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

This time during his visit to Paris, Saburo Uozuka had a great time.

During the three-day trip, Saburo Uozuka and Reiko Akiba visited almost all the famous attractions in Paris, which was something Saburo Uozuka had looked forward to but had never experienced in his previous life.

With the help of Kimura Taka, Uozuka Saburo also bought many gifts for his girlfriends, such as some clothes and jewelry that Uozuka Saburo thought matched them very well. Well, there were also many things like stockings and pajamas that Uozuka Saburo bought for his own personal use.

Between lovers, there are always some small items as a mood-maker to make the relationship between the two more intense and novel, right?

Uozuka Saburo strongly agrees with this view.

Of course, this shopping trip also helped him to clear out several percent of his savings over the past few years. Although for many reasons, he did not buy any extravagant gifts, but he had many girlfriends.

You can't always favor one over the other. You have to know that in terms of feelings, even if you can't treat them truly equally, Uozuka Saburo definitely doesn't want to owe them anything.

Although Uozuka Saburo himself knew that he couldn't give Hagiwara Chisuga a gift that was too expensive, after all, the man worked in a government department, so he still had to be careful.

As for Ayako Suzuki and Andrea Vitels, well, maybe when they buy things for themselves normally, if they are in the mood, the price they pay may be more expensive than all my expenses this time.

But that's not the case. Uozuka Saburo is confident that the three girls will be very happy after receiving his gifts. This is what makes them lovable, and it is also what makes Uozuka Saburo want to do his best to take care of them.

Of course, during this process, Uozuka Saburo had thought about buying something for his big sister, but looking at the clothes and jewelry in the bright window that looked very beautiful just on the mannequins, Uozuka Saburo found that he had no way of putting them on his big sister.

Really, I can’t even imagine what it would look like.

Compared to the gestures he gave as gifts, Saburo Uozuka felt that the person might be happier if he gave a Beretta pistol that was improved by the Suzuki Military Research Institute.

In the end, there was no other choice but for Uozuka Saburo to spend a lot of time and carefully select three sports bras that were said to be the most convenient for exercise, breathable and sweat-absorbent, very flexible, and comfortable against the skin. They looked ordinary, but one could feel the craftsmanship and design behind them and prepare them for Kurosawa Hotaru.

This was the most suitable gift that Uozuka Saburo could think of.

Of course, shopping is only one part of this trip. What really excites Saburo Uozuka is the restaurants he chooses for every meal during the three days in Paris.

As a foodie, Saburo Uozuka feels so happy these days. It has always been his dream to try delicacies from all over the world, not to mention that the taste of French cuisine is definitely comparable to its international reputation.

The restaurant for today's dinner was carefully selected by Saburo Uozuka, and he even took into account the advice of Ayako Suzuki who was far away in Neon.

Because tomorrow Saburo Uozuka and Reiko Akiba will set off back to Eikoku, hand Reiko Akiba over to her mother An Akiba who has already returned to the Eikoku Royal Academy of Music, and then Saburo Uozuka will return to Neon by himself.

As this was the last meal they would share together, Uozuka Saburo had to choose the best place.

"Yeah, very happy."

Putting down the red wine glass in her hand, Reiko Akiba's already rosy cheeks looked particularly youthful and energetic. Under the influence of alcohol and the atmosphere in the restaurant, her usually cool and bright eyes looked at Saburo Uozuka opposite her even more intently.

"Thank you, Uncle Kurosawa, for accompanying me to Paris. I was originally planning to come here alone, but now I think it would be too lonely."

"Of course. Although there are people who like to enjoy themselves, I still think that when it comes to traveling, it's more fun to have more people around. The atmosphere is also better. When you discover delicious food and beautiful scenery, you can also exchange feelings with the people around you in the first place."

He grinned and was very happy to see Reiko Akiba showing such a cheerful and lively expression.

He could sense to some extent that this time when she came to Ying from Neon, Reiko Akiba seemed to have a lot of confusion in her heart.

After some indirect hints, Uozuka Saburo also learned some of Akiba Reiko's thoughts.

Although according to the arrangement of her mother Akiba An, Reiko Akiba would study at the Royal Academy of Music in Ying Country for one or two years with the help of her mother's connections, which would be of great benefit to Reiko's future development, it was obvious that Reiko Akiba was reluctant to leave her hometown where she had lived for 20 years.

Uozuka Saburo said that he could understand this mentality of a traveler on a long journey. When Miyano Shiho was about to be sent to Magnesium by the organization, no matter how calm the two sisters appeared and how much they didn't want the other to worry about them, they still looked for Uozuka Saburo in private and cried and said that they were reluctant to let her go.

That's right, even the always cold and arrogant Miyano Shiho was sad because she had to leave her hometown and her family, so in Uozuka Saburo's view, this emotion is really normal.

"So, Reiko, how did you decide?"

Putting a piece of foie gras into his mouth and looking at Akiba Reiko who had finished eating and was just tasting the red wine, Uozuka Saburo hesitated for a moment and decided to ask.

No matter what, I am the other party's elder, and I have more experience than the other party. If Reiko Akiba really has something that she can't get over, knowing it myself can help her feel comforted.

"I have decided to stay in the music school for further studies."

Her long eyelashes flickered and swayed under the movement of her eyelids. When she heard the question from Uozuka Saburo, Reiko Akiba gave her answer very straightforwardly without any hesitation.

"Very good, Lianzi, your talent in singing can be said to be top-notch. I believe that you will become the best singer in the world in the future."

He smiled and nodded. Uozuka Saburo had absolutely no doubt about Reiko Akiba's talent. When he first heard Reiko Akiba's singing in a competition in Chiba, he was already shocked.

In recent years, whenever Reiko Akiba invited him to perform, Saburo Uozuka would definitely go to enjoy the performance if he had time.

Even Suzuki Ayako praised Reiko Akiba's singing, although Uozuka Saburo didn't know when Suzuki Ayako had listened to Reiko Akiba's singing.

"That is my goal. I also want to become a world-famous singer."

Looking at Uozuka Saburo with a burning gaze, the passion and persistence in Akiba Reiko's eyes made Uozuka Saburo, who originally wanted to say something, slowly close his mouth.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong. The atmosphere between the two should have been that of a cordial elder and a confused junior communicating and opening their hearts.

but now.

He cautiously glanced at Reiko Akiba who was sitting opposite him and looking at him, and then Uozuka Saburo turned his head away guiltily, trying to focus his attention on the food on the table that had not yet been eaten.

However, Akiba Reiko obviously did not want to give Uozuka Saburo the chance to escape.

"Please look at me, Uncle Kurosawa."

"..."

Blinking his eyes quickly, Uozuka Saburo sighed in his heart, but still raised his head and looked directly at the girl who was looking at him stubbornly. At the same time, he kept cursing Kimura Takashi for his bad mouth in his heart!

Everything was going fine for the first three days, and we were going to separate tomorrow, but this happened to me at the last minute?

"Lianzi, there are some things we both know, there is no need to explain too clearly."

Although he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, facing Reiko Akiba in front of him, Uozuka Saburo still expressed his attitude very directly, just as he had always told himself before.

He, Uozuka Saburo, is a man with a bottom line. He must be clear about what should be done and what should not be done!

"As expected, Uncle Kurosawa knows about this. He is really mean. He has been pretending to know nothing for such a long time and deceiving me. Is this really okay?"

She did not receive Uozuka Saburo's signal that the topic was over. Perhaps it was because of what she wanted to do today that Akiba Reiko got herself half drunk at the cooking table to increase her courage.

She is also a young girl. Even if she has a strong and courageous character, she will still feel shy and retreat when faced with such things.

"It's not a lie, it's just that there's nothing I can do. Could it be that Lianzi wants me to be more direct, or more distant?"

"Of course not. If Uncle Kurosawa distances himself from me because of something like this, I will do something that will make him regret it~"

He chuckled and said words that made people's heart beat faster. Then, Saburo Uozuka looked helplessly at Reiko Akiba who was looking at him with a smile, and picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"That's really scary. The Reiko I know wouldn't threaten people like this."

"Is this a threat to Uncle Kurosawa? I'm so happy. It seems that my position in Uncle Kurosawa's heart is higher than I thought~"

"Stop talking nonsense and don't joke about this kind of thing, Reiko."

Looking at Reiko Akiba, who was holding her face in her hands while drunk and looking very happy, Uozuka Saburo felt that he should reiterate his attitude again.

"I just treat you as my junior. I don't want you to have any extra feelings for me. You also know my identity. I don't have the extra energy to think about this..."

"You're lying, Uncle Kurosawa. You obviously have a girlfriend. Is it really okay to say something like that?"

"I have a girlfriend?" His heart sank, and Uozuka Saburo began to quickly think about what went wrong and who was discovered by Akiba Reiko.

"Well, doesn't Uncle Kurosawa even dare to admit that he has a girlfriend? He bought so many gifts."

"...Yes, since you know that I have a girlfriend, you should know that you should give up your unnecessary feelings for me. My girlfriend and I have a good relationship..."

"You have a good relationship, so you bought two gifts for her?"

There was nothing to say, and Uozuka Saburo was choked.

At this moment, how could Uozuka Saburo not know that the gifts he bought for Hagiwara Chisuga and Suzuki Ayako were discovered by Akiba Reiko.
