Gin likes me?

However, such a life does not make Miyano Akemi happy.

Her life has changed since the explosion more than half a year ago.

Although Uozuka Saburo still visited Miyano Akemi afterwards and showed concern for her on a daily basis, Miyano Akemi herself always felt uneasy and guilty.

The most important thing is that Miyano Akemi can feel that although Uozuka Saburo seems to care about her as usual, compared to before, there has been a slight rift between them that is enough to make Miyano Akemi sad.

Miyano Akemi was able to confirm that Uozuka Saburo's concern for her was genuine.

But she could also feel that Uozuka Saburo's attitude towards her had changed a little. Sometimes, it seemed as if he was deliberately keeping a certain distance from her.

Miyano Akemi believes in the bond and feelings between herself and Uozuka Saburo. She guesses that it is because of Akai Hidei's incident that Rum in the organization no longer trusts her and orders Uozuka Saburo to keep a proper distance from her.

She hoped so.

As for the worse speculation, Miyano Akemi didn't dare to think about it.

The only thing that made her happy now was that, although not like before, Saburo Uozuka would come to her house every month to have dinner with her and would call her every week to ask about her recent life.

But Saburo Uozuka would still come to my house for dinner and occasionally call me to show his concern.

Just the interval is much longer than before.

But what can Miyano Akemi do?

Blame Uozuka Saburo for being cruel? She couldn't do such an unreasonable thing.

Blaming herself for not being able to judge people well? Miyano Akemi felt that even if she had to do it again, she couldn't do better.

Resent Akai Hidei's deception?

This is true, but Miyano Akemi is not the kind of person who likes to blame others. Moreover, although Akai Hidei deceived herself, she was also very sincere to herself. She even wanted to take herself with her when they were about to evacuate.

She just refused because she couldn't let go of her sister Shiho and her brother Uozuka Saburo.

When I think about it this way, it seems that there is really no fun in my life now.

With all sorts of thoughts in her mind, Miyano Akemi opened the door with her key.

"I am back."

Although no one would respond, Miyano Akemi still said it out of habit.

What are you going to eat tonight? I don’t feel like moving today, so I’ll just have a quick bite.

"Welcome back~"

"Um?!"

She froze in place as she raised her left leg to change her shoes. She heard two voices of "Welcome back" coming from the room. Miyano Akemi was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly raised her head and looked towards the living room of her apartment with excited eyes.

There, in front of the TV that he rarely watched, two familiar figures were sitting on the floor, holding the game consoles that he had carefully put away and had not been used for a long time, and were playing a fierce game against each other.

It was after I pushed the door open that the two people who noticed I came back paused their game and looked towards me.

"Shiho, Uozuka-nii."

Muttering something, Miyano Akemi was a little overwhelmed and subconsciously hugged Miyano Shiho, who stood up from the ground, ran to her and stretched out her arms to hug her.

"Sister, I'm back~ I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too, Shiho!"

The voice of "sister" that had not been heard in her ears for a long time instantly broke Miyano Akemi's heart.

Tears flowed from her eyes almost instantly. Miyano Akemi hugged Miyano Shiho tightly, with an extremely happy smile on her face.

"Okay, stop squatting in the hallway and come in first."

Standing at the entrance of the hall with a smile on his face, Saburo Uozuka looked at the two sisters hugging each other, crying and laughing, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

Ever since Miyano Shiho went to study in Magnesium, this small apartment hasn't been so warm and lively for a long time.

And Miyano Akemi hasn't laughed so happily in a long time.

Because of this, every time Kimura Taka curiously asked himself whether he was angry with Miyano Akemi because of Akai Hidei, Uozuka Saburo's answer was a firm no.

He has always been very clear that this shining girl, Miyano Akemi, is such a soft and lonely girl.

Although he usually takes care of her, Uozuka Saburo has too many things to be responsible for, and it is impossible for him to be with her all the time.

When Uozuka Saburo could not show up in time and Miyano Shiho was far away in Magnesium, it was very normal for Miyano Akemi to be taken advantage of by the company of Akai Hidei.

She just wanted to have someone to accompany her in daily life, to eat with her, to chat with her, and to go shopping with her.

However, these are just the simplest things for ordinary girls, but they cannot be easily reflected in Miyano Akemi.

"Well, let's go inside, sis."

She quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Seeing Miyano Akemi after a long time, Miyano Shiho couldn't control her tears.

"Ah."

She happily helped Miyano Shiho to stand up, and Miyano Akemi's hand was still tightly around Miyano Shiho's arm, not willing to let go at all.

"Uozuka-san, were you the one who brought Shiho back?"

Looking at Uozuka Saburo who was smiling as he watched his two sisters crying, Miyano Akemi also showed her temper to Uozuka Saburo for the first time in a long time.

"Of course, didn't Shiho tell you?"

Pretending a hint of surprise on his face, Uozuka Saburo instantly threw the pot away in the face of Miyano Shiho's disdainful eyes.

"No, Shiho said she was going back to Neon, but she didn't say when she would be back."

Miyano Akemi pouted and looked at her sister beside her, looking like she wanted to explain.

"That's really too much. I was supposed to wait for you, Uozuka, to come to Magnesium before I could return to Japan, but someone actually dumped all the responsibility on me?"

With her eyes narrowed slightly, Miyano Shiho certainly would not choose to take the blame.

She didn't want to be stared at by her sister with such resentful and pitiful eyes.

"Hey, is that so?"

The dissatisfied look shifted from Miyano Shiho's face to Uozuka Saburo's, but how much of that was genuine dissatisfaction was clearly known to the three people present.

"Haha, isn't this just a surprise for you, Mingmei?"

Touching his neck, Uozuka Saburo smiled and made way for the two women to walk into the living room.

"Mingmei, we bought a lot of ingredients. Should we have a good meal today?"

"Of course, there is still a lot of wine at home. As for the ingredients, Brother Uozuka, you bought everything. Okay, leave it to me from now on, and you guys can continue playing games."

Looking excitedly at the ingredients filling the entire kitchen counter, the idea of ​​being too lazy to cook that I had when I entered the house was long forgotten.

I must use all my cooking skills today! I must cook a meal that will make Uozuka-san and Shiho's tongues drool!

626: Someone wants to take over the fish grave

Although Rum really wants Miyano Shiho to start working as soon as possible.

However, considering Miyano Shiho's talent and ability, and for the sake of Saburo Uozuka, Rum still gave Miyano Shiho three days of vacation.

During these three days, Miyano Shiho can be said to have had the happiest time of her life in recent years.

She cherished the three days she spent with Miyano Akemi, because Rum had already informed her that after she officially started working, she would not be able to see Miyano Akemi every day so easily.

There are separate arrangements for accommodation and other things. You can call each other at ordinary times, but if you want to meet in person, you basically can only get approval.

Miyano Shiho was quite resentful about this, but when she showed that she had successfully accepted the information left by her parents and was able to start research immediately, Rum had already given the death order.

Saburo Uozuka could see that after Rum had experienced too many mission plans that were intended to be grand but ended up failing miserably, it was becoming difficult for him to use his merits to make the boss notice his attacks and then give him what he wanted.

So, he focused his attention on Miyano Shiho.

Although up to now, Saburo Uozuka is still confused about what exactly Rum wants to get, the thing that should be closely related to the organization's ultimate research goal, but when Rum expressed such a strong demand, Saburo Uozuka couldn't say anything more.

On the one hand, he is still Rum's subordinate. Although Rum has always given him face, Uozuka Saburo himself must also be clear about what bottom line he can try to touch and what bottom line he must be absolutely careful about.

Rum may not mind having a good relationship with the Miyano sisters, and take better care of the two girls for his own sake.

But Rum would never allow himself to openly do anything that goes against the organization and his orders because of the Miyano sisters.

Not to mention, in Uozuka Saburo's current plan, he also needs to make Rum think that there is some problem in the relationship between him and Miyano Akemi.

Therefore, in response to Rum's order, Saburo Uozuka could only remain silent.

Miyano Shiho is quite open-minded about this.

She is now in a state where she can finally officially take over her parents' research and is ready to show her talents.

Research is a very important thing for her. Anyway, she has returned to Neon and is right next to her sister. They can contact each other by phone at any time. If she wants to meet, it won’t be too difficult.

Such conditions were completely acceptable to Shiho Miyano.

Rather, the issue that Miyano Shiho needs to solve right now is not her own problem.

"Shiho, how do you feel about your first day at work? Are you adapting well in all aspects?"

After driving to the research institute and looking at Miyano Shiho sitting in the passenger seat, Uozuka Saburo smiled, put out the cigarette in his hand, started the car again and drove out.

Today is Miyano Shiho's first day at work. After work, Uozuka Saburo will take Miyano Shiho to the apartment arranged for her by the organization to let her see the environment.

That apartment can be said to be a place carefully selected by the organization. Not only is it convenient for handling unexpected situations, but there are also many surveillance points around it.

These were all told to Uozuka Saburo by Rum.

Although Saburo Uozuka was not allowed to be personally responsible for the supervision of Miyano Shiho, Rum still allowed Saburo Uozuka to make arrangements for the selection of monitoring personnel for Miyano Shiho in the organization.

This is a form of monitoring, but also a form of protection.

Saburo Uozuka couldn't say anything about this. This was something Rum had already decided, and he could only go ahead with the arrangement.

The only thing we can try hard is to select some members of the organization who are agile, quick-witted, and definitely not outsiders or undercover agents for protection.

"There aren't any ingredients in the new house, so why don't we go out to eat? Then I'll take you to the apartment. I've already seen the apartment, and the environment is very nice. Of course, if you have any requirements for furniture or something, you can also put it forward, and the organization will arrange it for you."

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Uozuka Saburo asked Miyano Shiho if she wanted to eat anything in the evening.

"It's just a place to live. I don't have too many requirements."

After fastening her seat belt, Miyano Shiho slowly shook her head, and her big eyes looked at Saburo Uozuka beside her in the shadow of the car, with a fluctuating expression in them.

"That's fine too. Just tell me if you need anything. What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Have a bite. I've been busy in the lab all day, but I haven't done any thorough research."

Her lips were gently pursed together, and after the car passed two traffic lights, Miyano Shiho could no longer hold back the irritation and demands in her heart, and spoke out to call for Uozuka Saburo's attention.

"Uozuka-san."

"Well, what's wrong?"

"What happened between you and your sister, right?"

"...Who told you that?"

After a moment of silence, Uozuka Saburo turned around with a smile and looked at Miyano Shiho who was looking at him seriously.

Having already prepared himself mentally for the situation, Uozuka Saburo did not show any sign of panic.

He knew that Miyano Shiho, who had a keen eye, would not fail to notice the strange atmosphere between him and Miyano Akemi.

Not to mention, that girl Miyano Akemi has absolutely no talent for lying.

"I was chatting with my sister during our vacation and I felt something was wrong."

Seeing that Uozuka Saburo did not deny it, Miyano Shiho's heart skipped a beat and her tone became a little anxious.

You know, when she directly asked Miyano Akemi what happened at home, she didn't get an answer immediately, and she was so annoyed when she saw her sister's hesitant, resentful, and self-righteous expression.

However, this annoyance was completely wiped out by shock and panic after Miyano Shiho found out what happened from Miyano Akemi.

She never imagined that the two of them, who had lived peacefully during the time she left Japan and studied in Magnesium, would encounter such a change just about half a year before she was about to return to Japan.

Almost immediately, Miyano Shiho began to bear a grudge against the woman in the organization named Rye Whiskey, whose alias was Aya Moroboshi and whose real name was Hidei Akai.

In Miyano Shiho's opinion, if it weren't for this woman, her sister would never have such a delicate relationship with Uozuka Saburo now.

But this is not the most urgent problem to be solved at the moment!

"Brother Uozuka, you know that my sister would never do anything to harm you. In this matter, she was also deceived."

Her tone became more and more urgent, which was inconsistent with the attitude Miyano Shiho had shown in the past. However, since it involved Miyano Akemi and Uozuka Saburo, the only two people Miyano Shiho cared about in the world, Miyano Shiho just couldn't calm down and speak slowly.
