Gin likes me?

The movement was so quick that Suzuki Ayako could not see clearly. Kurosawa Hotaru pulled out a pistol from his waist, pointed it at Suzuki Ayako and tilted his head.

"As long as you move your index finger slightly, all your pride, tolerance and so-called love will disappear completely. Isn't this ridiculous?"

"If you really choose this, Miss Kurosawa, then I really can't do anything about it."

Facing the dark muzzle of the gun, Suzuki Ayako still did not show the slightest fear. She maintained a slow tone and spoke words that made Kurosawa Hotaru subconsciously clench his index finger.

"But we have been talking for so long, it seems that Miss Kurosawa does not want to take my life today."

"You speak as if you know me very well."

"It's just a little bit, but I know very well that Miss Kurosawa is too disdainful to say anything more to a dead person."

"You are very brave to gamble with your own life."

"Looking back now, my choice was not wrong. Moreover, if my death can help Mr. Uozuka to strengthen his determination to leave your organization..."

Before he could finish his words, the aura and murderous intent that erupted from Kurosawa Hotaru became even more violent.

Although she knew that her words had angered Kurosawa Hotaru, Suzuki Ayako did not back down. She straightened her back firmly and looked at Kurosawa Hotaru fiercely for the first time, revealing her offensive intentions.

"I'll be very happy!"

A cold and tense atmosphere spread in the bedroom. Kurosawa Hotaru's finger kept retracting on the trigger, but in the end she put away the pistol.

Her gaze never left Suzuki Ayako's eyes. In those eyes, Kurosawa Hotaru did not see the slightest guilt or disguise. Kurosawa Hotaru knew that the woman in front of her was really ready to die for Uozuka Saburo.

"It seems that I won the bet, Miss Kurosawa."

A drop of sweat dripped down her forehead. Feeling the high pressure dissipating from her, Suzuki Ayako smiled comfortably.

Even though Suzuki Ayako's curious behavior had once caused Uozuka Saburo to explode with force towards her, it was not as great a threat and fear as the Kurosawa Hotaru in front of him.

"As expected, she is the big sister of Uozuka-san. She is really scary."

Pursing her lips, Suzuki Ayako looked at Kurosawa Hotaru, who had put away her gun and her aura and was sitting on the sofa looking at her. She took a deep breath and stood up from the bed on her own initiative.

"It's still early. I wonder if Miss Kurosawa would like to have a few drinks with me."

“I only drink good wine.”

"That's a coincidence, I only have good wine at home~"

634: We both have something to confirm

Although they wanted to drink, after Suzuki Ayako took out the red wine, Kurosawa Hotaru did not stay in Suzuki Ayako's bedroom for more time.

About ten minutes later, Kurosawa Hotaru put down the glass of red wine she had only drunk, got up from the single sofa next to the window that she had pulled back to, and approached the floor-to-ceiling window entrance to the balcony.

"We're leaving, Ms. Kurosawa."

Looking at Kurosawa Hotaru with a smile, Suzuki Ayako, who also stood up from the sofa, stood gracefully and looked at Kurosawa Hotaru with a smile.

"Well, let the guy outside who's been aiming at us from the tree put away his gun. His mentality is good, but his ability to hide is too poor."

With a casual glance at the courtyard that was not considered an order, Kurosawa Hotaru whispered something that made Suzuki Ayako laugh out loud.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Miss Kurosawa."

"Heh, the security layout of your entire Suzuki family was trained by Uozuka, right?"

With a disdainful laugh, Kurosawa Hotaru opened the French window.

"It's enough to block others."

"I see."

Nodding in understanding, Suzuki Ayako certainly would not doubt whether Uozuka Saburo was not putting his heart into it when helping her train the security guards.

Whether it was from the mouth of Saburo Uozuka or Ayako Suzuki using the power of the Suzuki Group to search for the name of Gin in the world's dark web, there was only one evaluation that could be obtained.

Recognized as one of the top three super killers in the world, a bottle of strong liquor on the dark side of the world, Killer Gin.

If Kurosawa Hotaru really wants to, there should be no place in Neon that can stop her.

"Well, I am very happy to have the honor of tasting wine and talking with Miss Kurosawa tonight. Since Miss Kurosawa is leaving, please forgive me for not seeing you off."

Kurosawa Hotaru, who had already stepped half a foot onto the balcony, stopped, slowly turned her head, looked at Suzuki Ayako who was slightly bowing to her, and blinked.

"You are a nice woman, Suzuki Ayako. I hope you won't do anything that would make me visit you again in the future."

"Please rest assured, Miss Kurosawa, you won't have that chance. Of course, if Miss Kurosawa just wants to come and have a drink with me, I'd welcome you very much~"

"Today is your birthday."

His eyes swept over the gift from Uozuka Saburo that Suzuki Ayako was wearing around her neck, and Kurosawa Hotaru turned around and slowly walked out of Suzuki Ayako's bedroom.

"When you wake up tomorrow morning, the first breath you take will be like the air you have regained. That will be my gift to you, Suzuki Ayako."

"..."

Suzuki Ayako stood there motionless, silently watching Kurosawa Hotaru's figure disappear before her eyes. Only when her cell phone on the dressing table rang did she walk over and pick it up.

"Big sister, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine Mr. Tanaka."

Nodding slightly, in response to Tanaka Hata's concerns, Suzuki Ayako quickly gave a reassuring answer.

"Ms. Kurosawa has left already?"

"Yes, she moved very quickly and took a very tricky route. No wonder no one in our security team noticed her when she came in."

A serious and low voice sounded on the phone. Suzuki Ayako could hear that Tanaka Hata was in a very bad mood.

It's no wonder. As the chief security officer of the Suzuki family, he was infiltrated like this. Tanaka Flag could not accept it. Moreover, the intruder went directly to Suzuki Ayako's room.

As soon as he discovered that something was wrong, Tanaka Hata ordered the bodyguards on duty to spread out and block the area around Suzuki's residence, while he himself took a rifle and found the place where he could best observe the situation in Suzuki Ayako's room.

If Tanaka Hata hadn't seen Suzuki Ayako walk to the dressing table and contact him using special means to tell him not to act rashly, he might have rushed over directly.

"She spotted me from the beginning, didn't she."

"Yes, don't worry too much, Mr. Tanaka. There are not many people in this world who can beat her in the dark."

With a chuckle, Suzuki Ayako comforted the somewhat frustrated Tanaka Hall.

"Miss, you said she was Miss Kurosawa, so she is..."

"Mr. Tanaka, no one came to my room today, right?"

"...Miss, I can't help you hide this matter."

"No need to hide it. I will find a chance to explain it to Mom and Dad. There's no need for you to help explain it to me, Mr. Tanaka, okay?"

"...I understand, Miss. It's getting late. You should have a good rest. We will guard the house well tonight."

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

Suzuki Ayako put down her cell phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window at some point. She looked at the night in the distance, raised her hand, and closed the floor-to-ceiling window door that Kurosawa Hotaru left.

“Reborn.”

Suzuki Ayako murmured about the gift that Kurosawa Hotaru gave her and closed her eyes. The pressure and fear that she had been suppressing in her heart were finally relieved.

Suzuki Ayako herself knew that even though she had acted so naturally and tough in front of Kurosawa Hotaru just now, the person who had the upper hand from beginning to end had always been this woman whom she regarded as a strong rival.

If Kurosawa Hotaru hadn't been a little absent-minded today, as if she was thinking about other things, Suzuki Ayako's situation might have been even more difficult.

"Is it because of something that happened to you, Mr. Uozuka, that made Ms. Kurosawa so flustered?"

With her eyes flickering, Suzuki Ayako hoped that things would not turn out to be what she was most worried about.

If, if Kurosawa Hotaru understood her feelings for Uozuka Saburo, then...

"In that case, I'll just have to try harder to grab it."

Suzuki Ayako sighed deeply, took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky.

"You are right, Ms. Kurosawa. Tomorrow morning when I see the first ray of sunshine and breathe the first breath of fresh air, that will be the time when I will be reborn."

"This gift is really precious."

. . .

"Big sister, what did you and Vermouth do yesterday? Why did you come back so late?"

While eating noodles, Uozuka Saburo asked casually while looking at Kurosawa Hotaru who was also sitting quietly at the dining table having breakfast.

"I went out to have dinner with Vermouth. It was over soon."

"Um, but you came back so late yesterday. Did you go to a concert by yourself? But as far as I can remember, there didn't seem to be any famous singers holding concerts recently."

"I didn't go to the concert, I just chatted with people and had a good glass of wine."

"Oh, huh?"

His eyes widened instantly, and Uozuka Saburo looked at Kurosawa Hotaru in surprise. He could not imagine that Kurosawa Hotaru would find someone in Tokyo who could accompany her for a drink and chat.

This doesn't fit with Kurosawa Hotaru's personality.

"Why, do you care?"

Noticing that Uozuka Saburo's eyes were always on her face, Kurosawa Hotaru ate the noodles in small bites and asked in a calm tone.

"One thing, may I know who that person is?"

He scratched his hair, and driven by strong curiosity, Uozuka Saburo couldn't help but ask.

"can."

Nodding slightly, Kurosawa Hotaru looked up at Uozuka Saburo, opened his lips slightly, and said the name that made Uozuka Saburo stand up suddenly from the table.

"Suzuki Ayako."

"Ayako!"

His eyes trembled violently, and Uozuka Saburo stood up from the chair and looked in shock at Kurosawa Hotaru who was still sitting calmly eating noodles.

"Big sister, have you done anything?"

The trembling voice coming out of Uozuka Saburo's mouth was enough to show how shaken Uozuka Saburo's heart was and how afraid he was to hear the news that would make him collapse from Kurosawa Hotaru's mouth.

"What should I do, and if I do it, what are you going to do?"

"I..."

He opened his mouth and looked at Kurosawa Hotaru who was looking at him calmly, and Uozuka Saburo found that he couldn't continue speaking.

With a flickering gaze, Kurosawa Hotaru looked at Uozuka Saburo's ugly changing expression and his gradually heavy breathing. Having made up her mind, she did not give Uozuka Saburo the chance to think wildly.

She couldn't bear to see Uozuka Saburo torturing himself like this.

"Like I said, just chatting and having a glass of wine."

"Ah, and then nothing happened?"

Although Kurosawa Hotaru's voice was cold, it sounded as sweet as heavenly music to Uozuka Saburo's ears.

Although he believed in what Kurosawa Hotaru said in his heart, Uozuka Saburo couldn't help but ask another question when it came to Suzuki Ayako's comfort.

After glancing at Uozuka Saburo coldly, Kurosawa Hotaru continued to eat noodles with his head down, not wanting to repeat what he had said.

"Hehe, I knew that Big Sister is not that kind of person."

He sat down again with a smile on his face, and Uozuka Saburo even moved his chair closer to Kurosawa Hotaru and picked up a piece of egg for him in a flattering manner.

"But big sister, what are you talking about with Ayako? Is there anything you can't tell me directly?"

"Uozuka, what you want to say to me is not this kind of nonsense."

"...Sorry, big sister."

The smile on his face disappeared, Uozuka Saburo fell silent, and then he raised a bitter smile, but he looked at Kurosawa Hotaru seriously.

"I don't know what's wrong with you, Big Sister, but I can guarantee that none of the promises I made to you were lies! I can say it, and I can do it at the risk of my life."

"But, Big Sister, if you have anything to say or anything to ask of you, just tell me directly, and don't go looking for Ayako and the others."

"They are all good girls. If they hadn't met me, they would have lived happier and freer. I feel very sorry for them, so..."

"They are indeed good girls. What about me, Uozuka."

"Big sister, please... huh?"

The words that were about to come out of his mouth were abruptly interrupted. Looking at Kurosawa Hotaru who turned her head and looked at him, Uozuka Saburo blinked in sudden realization, as if he wanted to confirm whether he had heard something wrong just now.
