Gin likes me?

"So it was Vermouth who provoked you. Haha, this is really interesting. I should have come back earlier and gone to see how Vermouth's expression changed."

Vodka pounded the bar counter with his fists and laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe after listening to Uozuka Saburo's brief account of the whole incident.

"It's not too late for you to go now. Vermouth and Big Sister are still in Tokyo carrying out their mission. You should be able to contact Vermouth."

He shrugged, knowing that Vermouth would not contact him, so it was better to say that Uozuka Saburo, who was already too busy hiding from him, did not waste his time.

Compared to using this matter to mock Vermouth and then making that petty woman bear a grudge against him, Uozuka Saburo felt that it would be better for him to stay a little calmer.

Anyway, I'm already happy and Vermouth is already embarrassed, so isn't that good enough?

Moreover, Uozuka Saburo believed that even if he did not find Vermouth, Kurosawa Hotaru would not miss the opportunity to vent his anger.

And what made Kurosawa Hotaru jump in the face and sneer at her.

The corners of Uozuka Saburo's mouth curled up. He had already thought of Vermouth's helpless and pathetic expression that could only endure it.

"I won't go. If I deliberately go looking for trouble, I don't know how many times that woman will plot against me in the future. I don't want to feel unsafe in the organization anymore." Vodka waved his hands repeatedly, acting very realistically.

That’s right, if no one was deceived by her appearance, no one would want to provoke her.

It's too dangerous and I can't control it.

"But Vermouth wants to take your big sister out for training, tut tut." After exhaling a puff of smoke, Vodka glanced at Uozuka Saburo. The half-smile in his eyes made Uozuka Saburo very uncomfortable.

"Why are you yelling? If you have something to say, just say it." He glared at Vodka unhappily. Sometimes, Saburo Uozuka always felt helpless.

How on earth was I deceived by Vodka and accepted him as my teacher?

And the most important thing is that the relationship between the two people is so close that it is not even easy to hide something from each other.

No, strictly speaking, there are some things that I can't hide in front of Vodka. This old bastard Vodka is hiding a lot of things from me!

Not noticing the sudden ferocity that flashed in Uozuka Saburo's eyes, Vodka puffed out smoke and spoke in an erratic tone.

"I just feel a little sad. Every decision you make is so weird."

"What's so strange? I was just following the arrangements of the big sister. I just wanted to gain fame for the wine and become an elite cadre. Even if we didn't follow Vermouth's plan, we could have done it easily." Looking at Vodka with dissatisfaction, Saburo Uozuka felt that Vodka was being sarcastic to him.

"I don't refute that point, but it is obvious that you yourself agree with Vermouth's plan to separate that girl from you temporarily, right?" In the smoke, Vodka's eyes were aggressive, and the words that seemed like a joke just now suddenly became as sharp as a knife, easily cutting through Uozuka Saburo's defense.

His face changed slightly, and Saburo Uozuka turned his head and looked directly at Vodka. After pursing his lips, he smiled and shook his head.

"I told you, I listen to the big sister."

"Listen to the big sister. Tsk tsk, Saburo, this is the first time I find you are so good at evading responsibility." The smile on his face became clearer and more obvious. Vodka mocked Saburo Uozuka, but with his hands he filled the glass in front of Saburo Uozuka with beer until the foam expanded and slid down the wall of the glass.

"If it was someone else, you might have really fooled them. No matter who you are, you should think that the silver-haired girl is the one who holds the dominant position between the two of you. But unfortunately, we have known each other for too long, Saburo."

"..."

"Obviously, if you don't take the initiative to speak up about this matter, your big sister will definitely not agree to Vermouth, right~"

"I am speechless when you say that, Master." Picking up the glass of draft beer, Uozuka Saburo closed his eyes and drank half of it, then admitted it with a wry smile.

"Okay, it's not a big deal. Like you said, you two can get what you want without relying on Vermouth, right? Don't think of yourself as selfish. How do you know that what you did is not what your big sister wants~"

"But, Big Sister is indeed very anxious to obtain the wine name and become an elite cadre..."

"Oh, my Mr. Uozuka, although I am your master, I don't mind helping you deal with some of the troubles in growing up, just like Miss Sakura No. 2 that I have been recommending to you before~ But this does not mean that I always have the patience to be your intimate big brother and listen to your little complaints that you can obviously figure out but now feel frustrated and crazy."

Vodka raised a finger to interrupt Uozuka Saburo's words, a sinister smile on his face.

But Uozuka Saburo did not find it strange. After all, what Vodka said was right, and he and Vodka were not good people, and they did not have so much time to be sad.

"That's right, grown man, be more straightforward." Vodka raised his glass and clinked it with Saburo Uozuka, then narrowed his eyes with a smile. After Saburo Uozuka drank up the beer in the glass, he asked the bartender for another large bottle before speaking slowly.

"Now, tell me why you wanted to blow up my car with a grenade."

"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me." Nodding with sudden realization, Uozuka Saburo slowly put down the wine glass, then naturally reached down with his right hand and touched his waist.

"Snap!" A powerful left palm with the sound of wind instantly broke through the defense of Uozuka Saburo's left arm, and accurately and forcefully grasped his wrist when Uozuka Saburo's fingers were on the hidden scabbard on his belt.

"Saburo, what I mean is that you can just say it with your mouth." With a bright smile and eyes covered by wrinkled skin, Vodka held Saburo Uozuka's wrist tightly, as if he was sincerely revealing his feelings, revealing to Saburo Uozuka that he would never defend himself.

"Since it's something that Master is interested in, of course I have to explain it in detail. However, I'm not good at speaking and I'm worried that I can't express myself well. I still think it's more appropriate to use actions to help the performance!" Looking at Vodka with gratitude, Saburo Uozuka continued to exert force with his right hand, and his index finger had already touched the anti-slip rope of the handle.

"No need, Master, I have a very good understanding ability! (Trembling!!)"

"No, how can I trouble the master! (Push harder!)"

Looking at the two people whose bodies were pressed against each other, their faces flushed and veins exposed, the bartender who was about to come over to serve drinks stopped and turned his head helplessly.

"Boss, those two guests are tangling with each other again. Is this really okay?"

"It's okay. They are always like that. They will stop by themselves when they get tired."

296: Just do your best~

"So, you knew what was going on with the gate from the beginning, Master."

He moved his wrist breathlessly. Without even looking, Uozuka Saburo knew that his wrist was now covered in green.

However, he did not feel that he suffered a loss. After all, the painful expression on the face of Vodka, who was swinging his arms opposite him, also proved that he did not gain any advantage in the previous "competition".

"That's about right. Although I felt it was strange at first, considering how diligently he worked without being discovered over the years, I think we should not ruin his efforts over the years."

Vodka answered Uozuka Saburo's question in a very casual tone, and as if the pain in his arm had finally been relieved, he looked at Uozuka Saburo with an unhappy look.

It seems that I really need to find time to have a good "sparring" with Uozuka Saburo recently. If things continue like this, I may really not be able to beat this brat.

Damn it, isn't he really a bear in human skin? He's obviously at the age when his growth is about to stop, so why can his physical fitness improve so quickly, bastard!

"Don't cover this matter up with such a casual attitude!" Slamming his fist on the table angrily, Saburo Uozuka turned his head and nodded apologetically to the bartender who had just come over to serve wine but was startled by his action, then he put his angry eyes back on Vodka's face.

"But...but he's an undercover!" Pursing his lips, Saburo Uozuka put his head closer to the vodka and lowered his voice.

"And they are not undercover agents sent by ordinary organizations. Judging from their action plan and arrangements, they must be people of the same level as the FBI!"

"Well, Saburo, your judgment is right. Daimon is indeed a CIA man." Vodka patted Saburo Uozuka's shoulder in appreciation and looked at Saburo Uozuka with satisfaction.

When Vodka introduced Miyuki Daimon to Saburo Uozuka, he was looking forward to the moment when Saburo Uozuka would discover that something was wrong with Miyuki Daimon.

It now seems that Uozuka Saburo has a good vision.

"What a bullshit judgement!" He slapped Vodka's hand away in annoyance, took the beer on the table, and without even using a bottle opener, he opened the bottle cap with two fingers, then poured the beer into his draft beer cup.

"If I hadn't followed the gate by accident, how the hell would I have known that this guy had such an identity!"

After drinking half a glass of beer, Uozuka Saburo wiped the foam on his lips with the back of his hand. He looked at Vodka who was still smiling and was silent for a moment. Then he calmed himself down and spoke in a low voice.

"So, Master, what do you think?"

"Me? My idea is simple, isn't it? You should be able to figure it out easily~" Looking at Uozuka Saburo with a smile, Vodka slowly poured beer into his draft beer glass, looking very interested as if he really came here to relax.

"...keep the old-school undercover agent from another organization, let him continue to infiltrate the organization, and then spread the intelligence about the organization through the gate, so as to cause trouble to the organization, or even to the extent of weakening the organization's strength?" Looking at Vodka with subtle eyes, Saburo Uozuka almost spit on Vodka's face.

"You can come up with such a brainless plan? If you said that you liked the appearance of the gate and wanted to keep it with you, I might believe it a little bit."

"Hey, hey, it's really vicious to say such things. My sexual orientation is very normal. You should be very clear about this, Saburo." Looking at Saburo Uozuka in shock, Vodka never thought that Saburo Uozuka would have such an idea.

"And don't forget, even though you haven't met me, I am your old master..."

"You have a wife, right? I get it. There's no need to prove yourself so anxiously. If you don't see your wife once a year and don't even dare to contact her casually, the woman should break up with you decisively and find a new good man." Waving his hand impatiently, Uozuka Saburo's words were a big blow to Vodka.

It was visibly that Vodka's face turned red, to the point where smoke would come out of it in the next second.

"Who says I'm not a good man! I never forget her birthday every year and I always buy her gifts. I also never forget Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day, and our anniversary!!"

"Ah, yes, yes."

"Also, although I'm usually very busy, I will definitely go to see her whenever I have the chance, just like this mission, I will..."

"Just what?" With his eyebrows raised, Uozuka Saburo looked at Vodka with shining eyes, encouraging him to continue.

"Oh, anyway, a little brat like you who has never even touched a girl wouldn't understand such things." Vodka turned his head away with disdain. He thought that he also needed his own privacy, and the expectant look in Uozuka Saburo's eyes made Vodka very uncomfortable.

Why do you care so much about what happens between me and my wife?

Do you want to secretly tell her about me and say bad things about me when we meet again? Don't be ridiculous, I'd be surprised if I could give you this chance!

"Tsk." Seeing Vodka turning his head stiffly, Uozuka Saburo also let out a sigh of regret.

He had originally wanted to find out more about the woman from Vodka.

After all, Vodka is his master, so the woman must be his master's wife, right?

As an apprentice, Uozuka Saburo believes that he needs to contribute to the family atmosphere of his master and his wife!

For example, he could write down Vodka's consumption records in Neon over the years and give it to his master's wife when they meet by chance. Then he could briefly introduce some of the sets and flavors that Vodka likes and ask her to pay more attention to it so as not to make things difficult for his master.

After looking at each other, Vodka and Uozuka Saburo, knowing that the other party had no good intentions, both smiled and nodded, then frowned at the same time.

"Forget it, I have a lot of things to do here, and I don't want to talk about your family affairs." Although he was really interested in Vodka's mission in the past two months, Uozuka Saburo did not ask.

The fact that Vodka brought up his wife in China during the conversation has already expressed his attitude.

He didn't want Uozuka Saburo to get involved in this matter.

"So, I will pretend that I know nothing about what happened to Daimon Yuxing?"

Looking at the vodka with subtle eyes, Saburo Uozuka suddenly felt that he seemed to have gained nothing from coming out to drink with vodka today.

"Haven't you already done that? The organization hasn't discovered it in all these years. We workers don't have such good eyesight." Vodka said with a smile, holding up the wine glass.

"Just do your best, just do your best~"

297: My eyes are red!

Saburo Uozuka and Vodka stayed in the bar for about three hours in total.

During this period, apart from a few words about Daimon Yuxing at the beginning, the master and the disciple also opened up and told each other some interesting experiences during their respective periods of separation.

Although he didn't know from Vodka what the mission that took him more than two months was about, Uozuka Saburo still learned the area where he was going from Vodka's words "nice scenery" while drinking.

Not too far from Neon is the vast country above China across the sea, Russia.

This also resolved some of Uozuka Saburo's doubts and speculations.

After all, although after traveling through time, Saburo Uozuka had no chance to leave Japan, no matter what, Saburo Uozuka was a Chinese with a good family background in his previous life and he had never taken a day off for the flag-raising ceremony every Monday!

After learning about the organization's power distributed in the dark corners of Japan, Saburo Uozuka wondered whether there were also members of the organization in his original homeland, China.

And today, he finally got the answer.

Indeed, they do exist, but their number is very limited. In an emergency, not even a single member of the action team can be spared. Their biggest role is to serve as a transmission hub for intelligence, helping the organization collect some news and intelligence.

In response, Vodka said there was no problem at all.

After all, China's control over this aspect is terribly strict, not to mention that the woman Vodka likes has a high job in China.

Just kidding, as long as Vodka can get its hands on a list, China will know about it.

In response to this, Saburo Uozuka said that there was no problem at all!

Just report it! If it were me, I would do the same!

Of course, the most talked about topic throughout the night was Saburo Uozuka.

From the evaluation of Saburo Uozuka in the organization, to Saburo Uozuka's future plans, and even the girls who have a close relationship with Saburo Uozuka, Vodka really said a lot.

I just said that I don't want to be that disgusting and intimate big brother, but Vodka never stopped talking.

Although Saburo Uozuka felt a little strange and awkward about this, he had to admit that after living for so many more years, his horizons were different. There were many things that Saburo Uozuka could not have thought of or figured out, but with Vodka's brief guidance, a new path was easily opened up for Saburo Uozuka.

"Keep it up, Saburo!" When they parted, Vodka patted Uozuka Saburo's shoulder heavily, said a heartfelt blessing with excited eyes, and then left the bar unsteadily.

Looking at Vodka's leaving figure, Uozuka Saburo, who was stunned for a moment, also had red eyes. He stared at Uozuka Saburo's back without looking away, and did not pay any attention to the bartender who had walked to his side.

He just got his salary this month!!

"Sir, the total is 25000 yen. Here is the bill. Do you need a look?"

"No thanks, where can I pay the bill?"

. . .

"Hey, we just separated not long ago and you called me. What could make you so anxious, Rum?"

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Vodka skillfully avoided several intersections where drunk driving was checked and found a convenience store and stopped at the door.

Holding a Coke bought from a convenience store in his hand, Vodka leaned against the car body and spoke to the phone in a joking tone.
