Gin likes me?

His throat moved as he looked at Hotaru Kurosawa, who had driven to the airport to pick him up and then sat in the passenger seat, polishing her nails. Saburo Uozuka wiped away a drop of sweat on his forehead by pushing up his sunglasses, and spoke with a smile.

"That's about right. I've been babysitting her for the past two days. Big sister, you're right. Vermouth really went to cause trouble for Akai Hidei and got beaten up."

"Oh."

With his eyebrows slightly raised, Kurosawa Hotaru's eyes flickered as he watched Uozuka Saburo start the car naturally as if nothing had happened.

"I've heard you and Vermouth talk about this over the phone. It's not surprising that Vermouth would want to attack Akai Hidei, but she really didn't succeed... It seems that Akai Hidei has really become stronger again."

"Well, she is indeed more sensitive than the previous fight. However, this time the operation is to rescue Vermouth. I did not take the time to really touch her and see what level she is at now."

Nodding slightly, when talking about Akai Hidei, Uozuka Saburo's attitude also became serious.

Saburo Uozuka has always regarded this FBI undercover agent who worked undercover in the organization for many years and finally retired with honor as his most dangerous opponent.

"There will be a chance. I have a feeling that Akai Hidei will return to Neon in the end. This is her realization."

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking at the streets flying backwards outside the window, Kurosawa Hotaru made a confident judgment.

"And when that time comes, it will be our day to deal with her."

"Big sister, you are right. I am also looking forward to the day when Akai Hidei returns to Japan."

Nodding in agreement and glancing at the clock on the car's operating table, Uozuka Saburo turned around and asked.

"Big sister, what is our schedule today?"

"There is no schedule. I reported to the organization that I was going out on a mission. Today is the day you return from completing the mission. Strictly speaking, you still have two days of vacation. You can go and rest by yourself in a while."

"Oh, it's nice to be able to rest."

He laughed happily. It must be said that ever since Kurosawa Hotaru returned to the Neon organization, Uozuka Saburo has been living a very comfortable life.

Sure enough, the feeling is different when there is a strong backer protecting you.

"What about you, big sister? Do you have any work to do these two days?"

"Tomorrow, there is a surveillance mission to complete."

Looking up at Uozuka Saburo, Kurosawa Hotaru spoke in a calm voice.

"Shirley applied to meet her sister, and tomorrow is the approved date. I need to go with her to ensure Shirley's safety."

"Ah, Zhi... Shirley is meeting Mingmei tomorrow."

He nodded as if he had suddenly realized something, and looking at Kurosawa Hotaru who was obviously not interested, Uozuka Saburo took over the task with a smile.

"Then let me go on the protection mission tomorrow. I just happened to be back with nothing to do. Big sister, you don't really want to see Mingmei and Shirley, right? Why don't you let me do it? It just so happens that I haven't seen them for a long time."

"You want to go."

"Well, a little bit."

"Then go ahead. You know the lab. Remember, the hours are from 8am to 5pm. Of course, if you're following along, it's ok to go a little later, but you have to send it back to the lab in the end."

Without much hesitation, Kurosawa Hotaru agreed to Uozuka Saburo's request.

How could she not know that this was because Uozuka Saburo was worried that she had always disliked the Miyano sisters and would cause unpleasantness when they met.

In this matter, Kurosawa Hotaru doesn't mind making Uozuka Saburo feel better.

"No problem, big sister, just leave it to me."

Smiling and patting his chest, Uozuka Saburo said that he was already familiar with this simple protection mission.

"Then you can rest tomorrow, Big Sister. Are you planning to go shopping somewhere?"

"I'm going to go check out the house. I'm going to prepare two more safe houses in Tokyo."

"Well, if you ask me, there's actually no need for us to prepare so many safe houses, but if you like, Big Sister, it doesn't hurt to take a look."

Blinking his eyes, Uozuka Saburo had no objection to Kurosawa Hotaru's caution, although Uozuka Saburo felt that in Tokyo, if he really wanted to avoid someone, there were too many ways to do it.

"Are you planning to rent it or buy it? If you are planning to buy it, I may have some connections that can be used."

"Suzuki's?"

"No, it's some real estate and community guys I met when I was on a mission before. They are quite reliable. We can find someone to buy the house on our behalf, and the price will be quite favorable."

"Okay, let me take a look first, and I'll tell you when I decide to buy it."

"it is good."

Holding the steering wheel steadily, Saburo Uozuka glanced at the sign at the intersection.

"Are we going home now, big sister?"

"It's still early, let's go find a restaurant and have a bite to eat. I guess you haven't eaten much Japanese food during your time in Magnesium."

"Okay, although I cook for myself, I haven't eaten authentic Japanese food."

"Well, during the time you were taking care of Vermouth, was she emotionally stable?"

"It's quite stable. Although he's injured, his injuries are not serious. There is a medical kit prepared in advance in the safe house. The dressings are changed every day. He is recovering very quickly. I will stay for a few more days to see if I can catch some more traces of Akai Hidei."

"Even though the injury is not serious, it is still an injury. She is too careless. Did Vermouth change the dressing by herself?"

"I helped at the beginning, and I saw the wound with my own eyes. It's really not serious. You don't have to worry about it, big sister."

"I trust your judgment."

Nodding slightly, Kurosawa Hotaru's gaze moved away from Uozuka Saburo's face and looked casually out the car window.

Just as Uozuka Saburo shifted his attention from Kurosawa Hotaru to the road ahead, a light voice came from the passenger seat.

"Are Vermouth's stockings pretty?"

"Stockings? She wore loose pajamas most of the time in the safe house."

With a blink of his eyes, Uozuka Saburo naturally took up the topic that Kurosawa Hotaru had thrown at him.

And his answer wasn't a lie.

When she was in the safe house, and indeed most of the time, Vermouth wore loose pajamas that made it convenient to change dressings.

But at other times, only Uozuka Saburo knew how well Vermouth's figure matched the clothes she wore.

"Big sister, do you want to wear stockings? If you do, I can recommend a few that must be from the same brand as Big Sister!"

Pretending to casually look at Kurosawa Hotaru's slender legs wrapped in black trousers, Uozuka Saburo said half-seriously.

Although he also wanted to use this excuse to change the subject, Uozuka Saburo would be very excited if he could really see Kurosawa Hotaru wearing stockings and standing in front of him again!

The image of Kurosawa Hotaru wearing stockings during their previous date is still lingering in Uozuka Saburo's mind.

"There's a chance."

Noticing that Uozuka Saburo's gaze was moving over her legs, Kurosawa Hotaru's eyes flickered and a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he did not continue to ask about Vermouth.

Some things are okay if they are stated vaguely, but if you really want to clarify them, it will be very troublesome.

only.

"It seems that something did happen between Vermouth and Uozuka. When I have the chance, I will ask Vermouth about it."

Yes, although Uozuka Saburo reacted very quickly just now, he still could not escape Kurosawa Hotaru's observation.

Knowing that Vermouth had developed some feelings towards Uozuka Saburo after the last underwater accident, and after this assistance, Kurosawa Hotaru felt that even Vermouth would be touched.

However, Kurosawa Hotaru would not ask Uozuka Saburo about such matters.

She didn't want to see the ambiguous words that Uozuka Saburo said because he didn't want to deceive her, but also didn't want to make her worry.

"Hurry up and find a restaurant. I'm hungry."

"Okay!~"

. . .

"Brother Uozuka, you're back from your mission!"

After seeing a familiar face appearing from the lowered car window, Miyano Shiho, who had been cold and serious, suddenly smiled happily in front of the surprised eyes of the research institute security guard.

"Oh, it's not easy. You can smile so happily when you see me. Did something good happen recently?"

Looking at Miyano Shiho with amusement as he opened the passenger door and got in, Uozuka Saburo said jokingly as he drove the car out of the research institute.

"Good things, what good things can there be in this organization."

After the initial surprise and excitement faded, Miyano Shiho calmed down and became the girl with her usual cold face again.

"Why, I'm taking you to see Mingmei today, isn't that a good thing?"

“…This is indeed something to be happy about.”

Although she didn't want to see the smug expression on Uozuka Saburo's face, Miyano Shiho had to admit that she was very surprised when she saw that the person who picked her up to meet her sister today was Uozuka Saburo.

According to the rules, the person responsible for her formation today should be Gin.

As for gin.

Although she hadn't told Uozuka Saburo, Miyano Shiho had already developed a fear of this super elite cadre of the organization who had disliked her and her sister since childhood.

My mind and will were like a joke in front of her. I didn't do anything, but she could easily make me lose control of my body out of fear.

When facing Gin, Miyano Shiho rarely sticks to her own principles and pace.

This was unacceptable to Miyano Shiho, but she had no choice but to accept it.

But today is indeed a day worth being happy about. Miyano Shiho put aside all the troubles in the organization and sat in Uozuka Saburo's car, chatting about topics that interested her, and soon arrived at the coffee shop where she had an appointment with Miyano Akemi.

"What? My sister has something to do and won't be able to come over until later. Seriously, you clearly agreed to meet me today, but you didn't make the arrangements."

She frowned somewhat unhappily. Only in front of people as close to her as Uozuka Saburo and Miyano Akemi would Miyano Shiho show the expression of a little girl of her age.

"Mingmei has a formal job now, so it's normal for her to have trouble arranging her time. You should also consider this. You can go back later today, so it won't matter if you wait a little longer."

Looking at the mumbling Miyano Shiho with some amusement, Uozuka Saburo took a sip of his coffee.

Miyano Shiho, who was originally feeling a little resentful, felt better once she thought that she could go back to the cold research institute later today.

Not wanting to sit there alone, Miyano Shiho took the initiative to find Uozuka Saburo to continue the conversation in the car.

"By the way, I just returned to Neon and heard that your research has yielded some good results. This will further consolidate your position in the organization."

"It's an achievement, but it's not what I wanted at all."

After hearing what Uozuka Saburo said, Miyano Shiho showed a bitter smile on her face.

"I haven't fully understood the notes left by my parents, and the research is not going smoothly. The organization is too anxious to see progress..."

"It's okay. Just take your time. No matter what you're researching, you researchers know it best. Rum still has some patience."

"The researcher knows best. Actually, after taking over this research, there are still many things I don't understand."

"Oh, by the way, Brother Uozuka, you don't know that when I was doing research, I discovered something very magical!"

654: Can this be researched?

"What's going on?"

After taking a sip of coffee, Uozuka Saburo was actually not very interested in what Miyano Shiho said.

Although as a super professional killer, Uozuka Saburo also learned a lot of knowledge to facilitate him to conceal his identity and carry out assassination missions.

However, the research content that Miyano Shiho talked about was too professional and it was not a topic that I could participate in.

However, it was rare to see Miyano Shiho so talkative, and Uozuka Saburo did not ruin her interest.

Anyway, he just had to listen to people talking, so Uozuka Saburo was used to it.

“This is something I discovered when I was doing experiments.”

When talking about her major, Miyano Shiho's attitude became serious.

"When I was testing the drug on experimental mice, one of the mice underwent a miraculous change after being injected with the drug."

With eyes shining, nothing can make a researcher more excited than discovering that his research results have shown miraculous performance.

"After the drug took effect, the little white mouse actually became smaller. You know, Brother Uozuka, it was just like in the movie, it became smaller!"

"Get smaller?"

His eyes flickered slightly. The news he heard from Miyano Shiho made Uozuka Saburo no longer happy.

"You must have seen it wrong. How could a healthy mouse become so small?"
