Gin likes me?

But it was precisely because of this accommodation that both of them became very worried and troubled.

Later on, Kurosawa Hotaru even took out her Bluetooth headphones and stopped listening to Vermouth's instructions.

In this regard, Vermouth could only swallow her frustration and wait obediently for Kurosawa Hotaru's progress.

However, after seeing Kurosawa Hotaru coming to her car alone with a sullen face, Vermouth knew that the outcome would not be so good.

"What did Uozuka-san say to you in the end, Hotaru."

"I was watching from the sidelines, and Uozuka-san seemed quite excited."

"Uozuka, he is going to date me again the day after tomorrow."

"A new date the day after tomorrow? It seems that what you said when you were standing in front of the inn really irritated Uozuka-san."

Nodding in realization, Vermouth started the car, but turned her gaze to Kurosawa Hotaru.

"Can you tell me what you said?"

"Remember to tell the organization not to assign any missions to Yuzhong and me in the next two days."

"... What? You don't satisfy my curiosity at all, and you even ask me to help you with the work. Really, who am I working so hard for?"

She slapped the steering wheel in dissatisfaction. Seeing that Kurosawa Hotaru ignored her, Vermouth took out her cell phone in frustration, quickly edited an email with one hand and sent it to Rum.

No matter how much you complain, you still have to do what you need to do.

"Now let's see what Uozuka-san wants to bring out on our date the day after tomorrow."

Looking at the road ahead with shining eyes, Vermouth felt that today's boring day was not in vain.

At least, Uozuka Saburo has started to change, right?

"Then I won't get involved in your date the day after tomorrow. Xiaoying, you can do it on your own."

"Well, thank you for bothering me today."

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the street lights flowing backwards outside the car window, a hint of anticipation flashed in Kurosawa Hotaru's eyes.

"Uozuka, what do you want to do? I am looking forward to your date."

. . .

"So, Uozuka, what exactly do you want to do?"

Looking at Uozuka Saburo, who had not answered his calls since the end of the date and had to drive to the apartment to look for him, sitting in the unlit living room with his hands on his head and his head lowered, Kimura Ying shook his head helplessly.

Raising his hand to turn on the light in the living room, Kimura Takashi placed the takeaway in his hand on the coffee table. Then he went to the refrigerator as if he knew the way there, took out the refrigerated beer, and laid it out can by can.

"Take a sip first. There is nothing that cannot be solved, but the solution is definitely not to sit here alone with your head covered."

"...Kimura, I messed up today."

A low voice came out of Uozuka Saburo's mouth, but it didn't make Kimura Ying feel anything wrong.

He was indeed surprised, but that was only because Kimura Taka had hardly ever seen Uozuka Saburo in such a state of decline.

But no matter how surprised he was, Kimura Ying knew that there were more important things to do now than being surprised.

"Yeah, it's screwed, me too."

After taking a sip of beer, Kimura Taka leaned back on the sofa, seemingly having no intention of comforting Uozuka Saburo.

"In the final analysis, we are both heading in the wrong direction."

"Although it was you who said, Uozuka, that you wanted to let Miss Kurosawa experience what a normal date with a girl is like, but before that, we both overlooked a problem."

Looking at Uozuka Saburo who still had his head down, Kimura Taka continued talking to himself without stopping at all.

"That is, before we successfully pulled out Miss Kurosawa who was walking in the underworld. She is not a normal girl."

"It would be strange if a lady who is not from the human world could adapt to the various activities in the human world."

"..."

He quickly drank a can of beer, and looking at Uozuka Saburo who still had no intention of speaking, Kimura Taka narrowed his eyes and opened another can of beer.

"So, are you going to give up, Uozuka?"

"give up?"

Reacting to this word, Uozuka Saburo slowly raised his head and looked with a grim expression at Kimura Takashi who was about to say something.

"Snapped!"

He subconsciously raised his hand to catch the thing thrown by Kimura Ying. When he looked closely, he saw that it was a can of beer. Uozuka Saburo blinked in his hand and wiped the beer foam that splashed onto his face from the opening.

"It seems that I asked a boring question."

He opened the takeaway box with a smile, letting the aroma inside spread completely in the living room. Kimura Ying picked up a grilled bird skewer and opened a can of beer with one hand.

"Come on, eat something first. I'm watching you. Earlier in the restaurant, you were in no mood to eat dinner. You only ate two bites and then stopped. With your bear-like appetite, how could you possibly be full?"

"...what kind of vegetables did you buy?"

Blinking his eyes, Saburo Uozuka took a sip of beer, feeling it slowly sliding down his chest. He suppressed the coolness and refreshment in his heart and focused his attention on the takeaway food in front of him.

"Some simple barbecue, perfect with wine. Come, have a sip."

Raise the jars and clink them together.

For the following time, neither Uozuka Saburo nor Kimura Taka talked about what happened today, as if they were just enjoying a very ordinary drinking party.

"Phew, I enjoyed my meal. I'm too lazy to leave at this hour. I can sleep on the sofa."

Stretching lazily, Kimura Taka knew that the second bedroom in Uozuka Saburo's apartment was reserved for Kurosawa Hotaru, so he had no intention of staying there for a night.

"Okay, I'll get you a blanket."

The sofa in the apartment was spacious enough for an adult man to sleep on easily. However, as he still had some things he needed to think about, Saburo Uozuka did not invite Kimura Taka to sleep with him in his bedroom.

"By the way, tomorrow morning, I might get up early and leave first. I have some things to do. As for your date the day after tomorrow... I won't get involved."

Leaning on the sofa, covered with the quilt brought by Uozuka Saburo, Kimura Taka, who had taken off his glasses and finished washing, suddenly spoke to Uozuka Saburo who was about to return to his room.

"I think it would be better for you to do it yourself instead of me helping you out here and giving you random advice."

"Sometimes you don't need to think too much, Uozuka, you have to have more confidence in yourself."

With a smile on his face, Kimura Taka gave Uozuka Saburo a thumbs up.

"There is no one in this world who is closer to Miss Kurosawa's heart than you."

"I believe it won't take you long to figure out what you need to do."

"...I think so too, Kimura."

After a moment's silence, Uozuka Saburo grinned, revealing his white teeth confidently.

"That's right, the date is the day after tomorrow, take it, Fish Mound, easily."

"Of course! I'll get it!"

639: You must be prepared

"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all, Hotaru."

Walking out of the bathroom and wiping her wet hair with a towel, Vermouth shook her head unhappily as she looked at Kurosawa Hotaru sitting on the sofa in the apartment drinking red wine.

Originally, Vermouth thought that Kurosawa Hotaru would fall into self-doubt and depression because of the failed date yesterday.

Vermouth is prepared to accompany Kurosawa Hotaru well throughout the day today, so that this girl, who looks strong but actually has a low self-esteem when it comes to emotional issues, won't get stuck in a dead end.

The results of it?

Ever since Kurosawa Hotaru walked out of the bedroom in the morning, Vermouth felt that there seemed to be something wrong with her judgment.

In the second half of the date yesterday, the expression on Kurosawa Hotaru's face could no longer be maintained and she looked in very bad condition.

But after the two of them stood in front of the hotel and talked about something, and Kurosawa Hotaru returned to her car alone, Kurosawa Hotaru's condition miraculously recovered.

And this recovery became more obvious after a night of fermentation.

Kurosawa Hotaru's mood now can be described as good, otherwise, she would not have been so enthusiastic about making an appointment with Vermouth to practice in the afternoon.

But this makes things difficult for Vermouth.

Because she was worried about Hotaru Kurosawa's condition, Vermouth didn't want to refuse Hotaru Kurosawa's invitation.

But after really fighting with Kurosawa Hotaru, Vermouth realized that she should think wisely.

Although he is also a top killer in the organization, his skills are far beyond those of ordinary people.

But how could Vermouth possibly compete with Kurosawa Hotaru in close combat?

If Kurosawa Hotaru had intentionally held back, Vermouth might have had to spend the day lying in bed.

Even so, when Vermouth came out of the bathroom, she was exhausted and sore all over. This was completely different from the amount of training she usually did!

"Why rush?"

Kurosawa Hotaru glanced at Vermouth, put down his wine glass, and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower and answered softly.

"There was no progress in yesterday's date. Do you really believe that Uozuka-san will be able to give you an answer in tomorrow's new date?"

She stopped wiping her hair and looked at Kurosawa Hotaru who stood up from the sofa. Vermouth still couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Although Vermouth knew that Uozuka Saburo was not a person who liked to disappoint others, the matter between him and Kurosawa Hotaru was really troublesome for Vermouth.

"He will."

After stopping, Kurosawa Hotaru looked at Vermouth and said without any hesitation.

"Vermouth, you didn't see the look in Uozuka's eyes at that time. I've only seen that look once before."

As if she recalled something, Kurosawa Hotaru's gaze became distant, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which she herself did not notice.

"It was that time that made me decide to be the big sister of Yuzuka for life."

"Vermouth, just wait and see. Uozuka can do anything with that look in his eyes."

"Really? Then I really want to look forward to it."

Blinking, without asking what the experience was that one time that Kurosawa Hotaru was talking about, Vermouth just smiled faintly.

There was no need to ask any more questions. The expression on Kurosawa Hotaru's face had already told Vermouth everything. She really believed that after such a bad date, Uozuka Saburo could still give her a satisfactory answer.

"It seems that I am not as good as Hotaru in trusting Uozuka-san."

With an inexplicable feeling in their hearts, Vermouth and Kurosawa Hotaru simultaneously looked at the mobile phone that Vermouth had placed on the coffee table.

On the upward-facing screen of the phone, the icon of the new email is so conspicuous.

Seemingly calm but in fact quickly, he walked to the coffee table, picked up his mobile phone, opened the email and read the content clearly, and Kurosawa Hotaru nodded silently.

"Is Uozuka-san ready?"

"Ah."

Putting away the phone and looking at Vermouth, Kurosawa Hotaru hesitated for a moment before finally making his request.

"Before I go out tomorrow, I still need you to help me dress up, Vermouth."

"Of course, no problem~ I will dress you up beautifully~"

. . .

"Good morning, big sister."

After getting off Vermouth's car, Kurosawa Hotaru also imagined what the situation would be like when Uozuka Saburo met her today.

Although when talking to Vermouth, Kurosawa Hotaru showed great confidence in Uozuka Saburo.

But when the day of the second date came, Kurosawa Hotaru got up early and still felt a little worried.

She was not worried about Uozuka Saburo's preparations. As she had said before, she had great confidence that Uozuka Saburo would make his best preparations.

Kurosawa Hotaru is worried about herself.

She was a little scared. What would she do if she still acted so out of place in the date that Uozuka Saburo was preparing for?

She didn't want to admit that she really had no way to integrate into the kind of life that Uozuka Saburo wanted.

Although he could use tough measures to keep Uozuka Saburo by his side, even if Uozuka Saburo was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, he would not refute him.

But that's not what Kurosawa Hotaru wanted.
