Gin likes me?

"I know. I know very well, Shiho."

Nodding slightly, Uozuka Saburo signaled Miyano Shiho to calm down and not be so excited.

Saburo Uozuka had also considered revealing some of his plans to Shiho Miyano.

But at the last moment, Uozuka Saburo still endured it.

As a member of the research team who is strictly monitored by Rum, Miyano Shiho is usually watched by too many members of the organization.

Even if Uozuka Saburo believed in Miyano Shiho's brain, for something like this that could have a huge impact if even the slightest oversight happened, it was better that the fewer people who knew about it the better.

Miyano Akemi has kept it a secret, so Miyano Shiho won’t be any different.

Moreover, Uozuka Saburo knew Miyano Shiho too well. Although she usually looked cold and indifferent, as if nothing could arouse her mentality, as long as it concerned himself or Miyano Akemi, this girl would definitely not be so calm.

Under such circumstances, Saburo Uozuka was even more afraid to tell Shiho Miyano about his own situation.

Not to mention, after Uozuka Saburo and Kimura Taka discussed, they found that under the current circumstances, the existence of Miyano Shiho would not play any significant role in their plan. It would be better to let nature take its course and let her slowly carry out research in the organization.

"I have never blamed Mingmei. I can swear to that. Not at all. Just like you know your sister, I also know what kind of girl my silly sister is."

Looking closely at Miyano Shiho beside him, Uozuka Saburo expressed his attitude towards Miyano Akemi without any hesitation or concealment.

"But why do you, Uozuka-san..."

The moment Uozuka Saburo's words came out, Miyano Shiho believed what Uozuka Saburo said.

After so many years of affection and bond, Miyano Shiho realized that the brother she had adopted was not the type of person who was good at speaking.

One could even say that, emotionally, Uozuka Saburo is so sincere that it's shameful.

But precisely because of this, Miyano Shiho could not understand why Uozuka Saburo would take the initiative to distance himself from Miyano Akemi.

Doesn't he know that such an action will make Miyano Akemi very sad?

"I can't tell you the specific reason, Shiho, I just want to ask you one question."

Looking at Miyano Shiho with a serious expression, Uozuka Saburo certainly had no way to explain, and in fact, he didn't need too much explanation.

"Shiho, you and Akemi, do you trust me?"

"No matter what happens, we trust you, Uozuka-san."

Without any hesitation, Miyano Shiho gave an answer that made Uozuka Saburo couldn't help but laugh happily.

This is also the true thought in Miyano Shiho's heart. Ever since Uozuka Saburo brought the first ray of sunshine and hope to her and her young sister in that dark organization, Miyano Shiho knew that this man who had always helped her shelter from the wind and rain in her life was worthy of her reliance and trust with her life.

"That's enough, I promise you, Shiho."

He raised his right hand and gently placed it on Miyano Shiho's head, rubbing her soft brown hair. With a relaxed but firm smile on his face, Uozuka Saburo made a manly declaration to Miyano Shiho.

"I won't let anything happen to you and Mingmei."

"Absolutely not."

"Well, I believe you, Uozuka-san."

. . .

"boom!"

"Oh, that's great. Ten rings again. It seems like you're in good form today, Daimon."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Kogoro Mori whistled softly in praise as he watched Daimon Miyuki complete his last shot of this round.

"It's OK, but not as accurate as you."

Twisting his neck and feeling more and more relaxed, Daimon Miyuki glanced at the scoring screen of Mouri Kogoro, who had finished shooting earlier than him and was standing next to him smoking.

"It's only 4 rings away. As expected, I can't compare to your shooting talent, Maoli."

"That said, I'm only slightly good at shooting. You're not the one responsible for most of the team's tasks. Even that little girl Aso has more tasks to do than me."

Shrugging his shoulders, Kogoro Mori did not feel proud or anything because of the praise from Miyuki Daimon.

He had seen very clearly how many capable people there were in Uozuka Saburo's team.

Not to mention Uozuka Saburo, who always made Kogoro Mori sigh that he was not a human being.

The comprehensive abilities of the Daimon Miyuki in front of him made Uozuka Saburo feel a little overwhelmed.

Although the little girl Aso Kasai is still a little immature in all aspects due to her young age, she is also a well-rounded potential. It can be said that Uozuka Saburo and Kimura Taka are cultivating Aso Kasai in this direction.

As for himself, apart from shooting, although fighting is also acceptable, Uozuka Saburo generally does not allow himself to get into close contact with the mission target.

As for disguise or infiltration, except for the initial shortage of people around Uozuka Saburo, Mouri Kogoro never showed up again.

Thinking of this, Kogoro Mori felt a little helpless.

Among the members of the combat team, it seems that their functions are indeed too simple.

As for Kimura Takashi.

He smacked his lips with the cigarette twice and looked at Kimura Takashi, who was sitting in a chair behind him and operating two laptops at the same time, with his fingers almost leaving afterimages. Maori Kogoro withdrew his gaze awkwardly.

He is also a pervert, there is no comparison, no comparison!

"That's not the case. Each of us is responsible for a different part, and no one can be missing. A team can only become strong if everyone performs their duties."

Smiling and shaking his head, Daimon Miyuki gave affirmation to Kogoro Mori's somewhat self-deprecating attitude.

At least in terms of medium and long-range shooting, Miyuki Daimon feels that Kogoro Mori is really outstanding.

"Okay, you two stop bragging to each other. Didn't we arrange to have a drink together today? Have you finished your round of shooting?"

An impatient voice sounded from behind. It was Kimura Takashi who saw that Daimon Miyuki and Mori Kogoro had finished their target practice but were standing there chatting.

He had a rare day off today, so he came out carefully, not to see the two old men bragging here.

"It's done. Let's go and have a drink. By the way, is Uozuka really not coming today?"

Putting the rifle on the table beside him, Kogoro Mori untied his gloves and asked curiously.

"Yeah, it seems like Uozuka doesn't have any mission today, so why did you suddenly say you can't come?"

Not only Kogoro Mori, but also Miyuki Daimon beside him felt a little strange. Generally speaking, Saburo Uozuka would never miss such a drinking party.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that Yuzhong definitely can't come today."

He nodded as if he had suddenly realized something, and with a subtle expression on his face, Kimura Ying closed his two computers.

"What's wrong? Are you being entangled by your girlfriend?"

He made a joke with a smile. Kogoro Mori has become very skilled at teasing Uozuka Saburo behind his back.

"No, even if all his girlfriends go into battle today, they can't interrupt what Uozuka Saburo wants to do."

"...What happened, Kimura?"

His expression suddenly became serious, and Daimon Yuxing came over and asked in a low voice.

Not only Daimon Miyuki, but also Maori Kogoro beside him narrowed his eyes and looked at Kimura Taka seriously.

"Uozuka is going to pick someone up today."

"Ha, picking someone up? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated about picking someone up? Hmm? What's wrong with you two?"

"From Magnesium Country?"

"Ah."

"...Gin is back?"

"...I know you're shocked, but there's no need to ask twice, Daimon."

627: What I cook is always the favorite of Big Sister

"Hey Hey."

With both hands on the steering wheel, Saburo Uozuka, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was in this state when he came out of the airport.

"Hey hehe~"

"Hold it back, Uozuka."

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Kurosawa Hotaru turned her head away and let her cold gaze sweep across Uozuka Saburo's face.

"Yes, eldest sister!"

He closed his mouth quickly and stopped the strange laughter that he had been unable to hold back since he met Kurosawa Hotaru.

However, even though he was not allowed to make any sound, Uozuka Saburo still couldn't control his joy at the moment.

Looking at Uozuka Saburo's mouth that was almost grinning from ear to ear, Kurosawa Hotaru's eyes flickered twice and he also smiled slightly.

In fact, it wasn't just Uozuka Saburo who was in a very good mood today. Kurosawa Hotaru was also in a very good mood.

It’s just that she wouldn’t express it as obviously as Uozuka Saburo.

"Hey, big sister, if you want to eat something tonight, just tell me. There's no restaurant in Tokyo that I don't know about."

His joy was beyond words. After being silent for less than two minutes, Uozuka Saburo could not help but speak again. He turned his head and looked at Kurosawa Hotaru, who was sitting in his passenger seat, supporting the window frame with one hand and scanning the surrounding environment with a calm gaze.

Hotaru Kurosawa, who is already 21 years old, has long lost her previous girlish immaturity. She is used to wearing black clothes and a windbreaker to hide her movements and weapons. At this moment, she looks like a mysterious investigator from a movie, cool and handsome.

Of course, for Kurosawa Hotaru, whose real identity is a killer, this kind of appearance that can be called eye-catching is not a happy thing.

But, she also had no intention of pretending to be ugly or ordinary.

On the one hand, Kurosawa Hotaru is more accustomed to working in the dark, and the night is her home turf. Most of the people who have seen Kurosawa Hotaru's true appearance are no longer in this world.

on the other hand...

Some time before she decided to return to Neon, Vermouth kept talking to her about many things. Although this made Kurosawa Hotaru feel annoyed, it must be admitted that some of her words still had a significant impact on Kurosawa Hotaru.

At least, after seeing the photos of Suzuki Ayako, Hagiwara Chisuga, and Andrea Vitellus that Vermouth had obtained at some point in time, Kurosawa Hotaru even went to the bathroom of the plane before getting off the plane and pretended to casually fix her hair.

Uozuka Saburo had no idea of ​​the strange ideas in Kurosawa Hotaru's mind, but from Uozuka Saburo's perspective, he was really shocked by Kurosawa Hotaru who appeared from the exit.

There is no need to talk about her appearance. Our big sister has always had a beautiful face that shines among celebrities.

Not to mention her figure. Kurosawa Hotaru, who has maintained high-intensity training all year round, has not trained herself to have a figure like a Barbie doll. Rather, every part of her figure is just right, with long and strong legs, a slender and strong waist, and proportions that are no less than those of a model.

If the first impression given by Uozuka Saburo is that of a ferocious and terrifying black bear, then Kurosawa Hotaru is like a female leopard.

Elegant and cold, it makes people feel the danger, yet it has a charm that makes people unable to look away.

As for the breasts that were now wrapped in loose clothes and not so obvious, Uozuka Saburo also knew how hidden they were.

After all, over the years, it was basically Uozuka Saburo who was responsible for selecting the sports bras for Kurosawa Hotaru, and he knew exactly how many changes the models had undergone.

"Let's go to Rum first. I need to report to him when I come back this time to discuss the next mission."

Slowly laying the chair down, Kurosawa Hotaru closed his eyes and adjusted his mind in a relaxed posture that no one else could see.

After completing her previous mission, Hotaru Kurosawa immediately applied to the magnesium organization to transfer back to the Japanese organization.

Although it is hard to let go of Hotaru Kurosawa, a very useful killer, but considering his contribution and experience in the magnesium organization, even Chivas would not be able to force him to stay.

It can be said that, apart from the boss, there is no one in the organization who can force Kurosawa Hotaru to do anything she doesn't want to do.

As for the boss, it doesn't matter whether Kurosawa Hotaru is in the magnesium or Japanese organization.

In fact, in recent years, the boss has not been so interested in participating in the daily management of the organization.

Judging from some sporadic information obtained from drinking and chatting with Vermouth before, the current boss seems to be recuperating his not-so-good health and has delegated most of the power to Rum and Chivas.

Although Saburo Uozuka also wondered why the boss dared to delegate the power of the organization like this, considering that Vermouth, Rum, Chivas, and even Kurosawa Hotaru all maintained a high level of respect for the boss whom Saburo Uozuka had never met, Saburo Uozuka suppressed this somewhat naive idea.

Never think that people who stand at a higher position than you have a shallower vision than you. If you do that, you will definitely suffer a great loss.

"Before returning to Neon, didn't Rum discuss the future arrangements with you, Big Sister?"

He blinked with some curiosity. Rum definitely knew that Kurosawa Hotaru was going back to Neon. At least Chivas would definitely communicate with Rum.

According to Rum's personality, he will definitely act very kind and tell Kurosawa Hotaru that she can choose her own mission in the organization and can be responsible for any aspect she wants.

But behind the scenes, Rum must have considered and prepared for all possibilities.

In fact, after Kurosawa Hotaru returned to Neon's organization, the only department he could join was the action team where Uozuka Saburo was currently.

"Rum said that after I come back, the operations team will be under my management."

The closed eyes slowly opened, and Kurosawa Hotaru glanced at Uozuka Saburo's profile from behind.

"From now on, the action team will no longer be yours to decide, Uozuka."
