Gin likes me?

There was no ulterior motive for his optimism. Uozuka Saburo did not think that the abilities he had demonstrated now were worthy of the goodwill of an elite cadre with a reputation as a winemaker in an organization!

Especially in an organization that can be described as cold-blooded, mercenary and profit-driven.

Apart from anything else, if the organization really approves of this kind of master-disciple relationship, why hasn't anyone taken action against Kurosawa Hotaru yet?

"What is the real reason why you want me to be your student?" Looking at Vodka with burning eyes, Saburo Uozuka did not give in even a bit just because the other party was a cadre.

"It's true that I simply like you, but I don't deny that I do have other thoughts about you."

Facing Uozuka Saburo's gaze, Vodka thought for a moment, and without hiding anything, he honestly expressed that he did not simply want to accept Uozuka Saburo as a student.

"Or rather, I have something to ask of you, but I cannot tell you this yet."

Vodka flicked the ash off his cigarette and looked at Uozuka Saburo with a smile.

"The time has not come yet."

"But I will promise to fulfill my responsibilities as a master." Vodka threw the cigarette and lighter to Saburo Uozuka. Even when questioned by Saburo Uozuka, Vodka did not show any impatience or panic.

Rather, he was full of confidence in this matter and was determined to succeed.

"I can feel that in this organization, you and I are similar, and you are different from the others."

"..." His eyes flickered slightly, and Uozuka Saburo had to admit that Vodka's words touched him a little.

"What's the difference? Aren't we all working for the organization?" Without continuing what Vodka said, Uozuka Saburo shook his head and lit a cigarette skillfully.

"Having an elite cadre as a backer is a rare opportunity."

"What should I call you from now on? Teacher, Master? Or just Vodka?"

"Just call me Master." Vodka nodded with a smile. He was not surprised that Uozuka Saburo agreed to him.

"Master." Since he had already made up his mind, Uozuka Saburo had nothing to be embarrassed about and immediately called out.

"Then will you arrange my future training?"

"The training plan that Pisco had people develop is the most suitable for you, so you just need to train according to it." After hearing the address from Uozuka Saburo, Vodka seemed a little happy, and the smile on his face became more obvious.

"I usually have a lot of tasks to complete, but when I'm free, I'll take you with me. After all, I'm your master, so I have to teach you something."

Touching his stubbled chin, Vodka looked at Uozuka Saburo from head to toe with a smile.

"Sanlang, the organization's information says that you are already 18, right?"

"Um, yes, is there any problem?" Although Vodka was a little confused by his sudden question, Saburo Uozuka still answered honestly.

"Well, we are not law-abiding citizens anyway, and you don't look like an 18-year-old kid." Vodka nodded with satisfaction. For some reason, the smile on Vodka's face made Uozuka Saburo feel a little nervous.

"Tomorrow, don't train in the base. I'll take you out and teach you some practical things."

Vodka crushed the cigarette between his index finger and thumb, and moved closer to Uozuka Saburo, still with a smile on his face that made Uozuka Saburo a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, you will be very happy when the time comes. Just think of it as the first benefit after becoming a student~"

"...You've made me even more uncertain, okay?"

. . .

"Oh, are you going out with him tomorrow?"

Sitting on a chair in Uozuka Saburo's room with her legs crossed, Kurosawa Hotaru glanced at Uozuka Saburo, who was standing next to her and looked a little flustered for some reason, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

"On a mission?"

"Not really. My master wants to teach me something." Uozuka Saburo himself didn't know how the smile on his face turned dry. He still hadn't figured out what words to use to fool the shrewd Kurosawa Hotaru.

"What should I teach you? Where to go?" The conflicted expression on Uozuka Saburo's face made Kurosawa Hotaru feel unhappy.

Uozuka Saburo had never hesitated when speaking to himself before.

"I don't know what to teach." Seeing Kurosawa Hotaru narrowing his eyes, Uozuka Saburo instinctively turned his head away and his eyes began to flicker around the room. In short, he didn't dare to look at Kurosawa Hotaru.

"Place."

"...It seems to be Hanabancho."

The suppressed voice did not escape the ears of Kurosawa Hotaru, and just as Uozuka Saburo guessed, after hearing the name of this place, the aura of Kurosawa Hotaru suddenly became cold.

"Hanabancho, you are such a good master." His hand slowly stroked the dagger tied to his leg. Knowing this location, Kurosawa Hotaru glanced coldly at Uozuka Saburo who was curled up like a quail.

She thought again, with her current abilities, what is the success rate of assassinating an organization leader!

028: Yuzhong is best only when he is with me

"Um, big sister?"

After Kurosawa Hotaru made that comment that was definitely not one of praise, the room fell into deathly silence.

Uozuka Saburo, who hadn't heard Kurosawa Hotaru say another word for a long time, couldn't help but raise his head. He carefully looked at his own big sister who was sitting on the chair with changing eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

In fact, Uozuka Saburo had thought about this matter before he told Kurosawa Hotaru about it.

Although Hanabancho is not a place that minors should go to, Uozuka Saburo has never been a law-abiding citizen in his life.

I've killed people before, so what's wrong with going to a red-light district?

Although it is true that Kurosawa Hotaru is her big sister, this kind of thing is not her business, right?

Don’t you have the right to choose where to go?

That was true, but when he returned to the dormitory and actually saw Kurosawa Hotaru sitting in front of him, that inexplicable feeling of guilt still filled Uozuka Saburo's heart.

"I'm not a coward! I just respect the big sister!"

After much hesitation, Uozuka Saburo, who was comforting himself in his heart, finally spoke to break the silence in the room.

"Since it is your master's request, you should follow him." Kurosawa Hotaru's voice broke his meditation and after being silent for a long time, he slowly raised his head.

His eyes had returned to their usual calmness and silence. Kurosawa Hotaru looked at Uozuka Saburo, who still had a nervous expression, and stood up from his chair.

"But I want you to remember that the most important thing for us right now is to improve our own strength. I won't allow you to indulge in such useless activities."

His eyes became slightly fierce, and Kurosawa Hotaru showed a rare seriousness and dominance towards Uozuka Saburo.

"Just for fun now and then, that's all."

"Uh, no, big sister, we're just going there, maybe there's a mission to do." After being put so bluntly by Kurosawa Hotaru, Uozuka Saburo's face flushed with embarrassment.

Suppressing the heat on his face, Uozuka Saburo reluctantly defended himself again.

"Besides, am I the kind of person who has weak willpower?"

"It's good that you know it yourself." With a slight nod, Kurosawa Hotaru turned around and prepared to leave Uozuka Saburo's dormitory.

"Big sister, is there anything you want? I'll bring it back for you~"

"No."

After receiving a cold answer, Uozuka Saburo was not discouraged. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The most difficult stage that he had expected was over! Since Kurosawa Hotaru agreed to work with Vodka, Uozuka Saburo no longer had any pressure!

"But tomorrow, hehe~" After quickly washing up, he lay on the bed. Although he told himself to stay calm, Saburo Uozuka still couldn't help but imagine what Vodka would teach him tomorrow.

As a strong young man with healthy body and mind, Uozuka Saburo feels that it is time for him to challenge his weaknesses and try to overcome his desires!

Without destruction, there is no construction! Uozuka Saburo has already made up his mind that no matter what happens tomorrow, he will face it with a critical attitude!

He believes that he can stand the test!

. . .

"That's all for today's class."

The slide show on the projector was paused, and the member of the organization in charge of teaching took off his glasses and pinched his nose bridge, but he couldn't help but look at the silver-haired girl who was sitting quietly in her seat without saying a word.

Although the silver-haired girl usually didn't like to speak much during class, the teaching staff could still feel her gaze wandering between them and the screen.

But today, the girl was obviously distracted instead of paying attention to the class.

"Kurosawa, you don't seem to be in a good state today. What happened?" The teaching staff asked curiously. They really wanted to know what made this usually calm and overly calm girl fall into a daze.

"Nothing." He withdrew his empty gaze and looked at the teaching staff who were looking expectant. He completely ignored the other party's meaning, put away his textbooks, turned around and left the classroom in the other party's disappointed eyes.

Before going to training this morning, Kurosawa Hotaru hesitated for a moment, but still pushed open the door of Uozuka Saburo's dormitory.

Looking at the empty room, Kurosawa Hotaru's mood also sank.

She has been in a bad mood since last night.

After knowing what Uozuka Saburo did today, Kurosawa Hotaru regretted letting Uozuka Saburo become Vodka's student.

Although she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she also felt that as a member of the organization, it was really nothing for Uozuka Saburo to just go to a red-light district.

But what was going on with that irritating feeling that had been lingering in her mind since last night?

"Because someone took the fish grave away from me."

After thinking for most of the night and barely finding an explanation that seemed reasonable to her, Kurosawa Hotaru began to adjust her mindset.

She has a clear plan for her life.

She knew that she would become a well-known cadre in the organization in the future, and an elite among the elites.

In that case, as long as she asked, it would not be difficult to get Uozuka Saburo to work by her side.

But before she reaches that step, she and Uozuka Saburo will face a lot of pressure and transfers from the organization.

Kurosawa Hotaru told herself to be mentally prepared for this, because in the end Uozuka Saburo would always stand by her side, so the process should be regarded as a small ordeal!

And the 15-year-old Kurosawa Hotaru already understands enough.

She knew how tempting the red light district was for Saburo Uozuka, an 18-year-old man with a healthy body who had trained hard in the base for four years.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Kurosawa Hotaru no longer cared about that kind of thing.

Just like she and Uozuka Saburo said, it was just 'for fun'.

Even if it's overbearing, Kurosawa Hotaru herself has no plans to get married and start a family in the organization. Similarly, she will not allow Uozuka Saburo, who follows her, to have such an idea!

Being a member of the organization and having a family is a joke in itself.

Knowing very well that so-called family and feelings will only become shackles for people in the organization, Kurosawa Hotaru does not want to let Uozuka Saburo take this detour.

She said she would protect him!

"Uozuka is best when he is with me."

With this thought in mind, Kurosawa Hotaru turned around and started training!

She needs to get stronger! Get stronger faster!

. . .

On the other side, early in the morning, Vodka dragged him out of the Pisk Building and into a large shopping mall, where he was dressed in a completely new outfit. As he looked at the nearby streets, his throat churned.

"What? You don't dare to go in?" Looking at Uozuka Saburo with amusement, Vodka raised a disdainful and playful smile on his face.

"Oh, why shouldn't I be afraid of this? I was born for this day!"

"...Then you are really amazing."

029: You told me that you have never been moved?

Although he refused to admit defeat, when Uozuka Saburo really followed Vodka to one of the stores in Hanabancho, he couldn't help but become nervous.

There is no way! Whether in the past or after crossing over, Uozuka Saburo has no experience in this kind of thing that requires interaction between men and women!

Although Uozuka Saburo felt that he might be able to learn without a teacher, after all, this is an instinct engraved in human genes, but...

As he glanced at the women walking back and forth beside the semi-circular sofas in the middle of the room that were separated like a bar, Uozuka Saburo's heart still beat faster.

That’s great!

The women coming and going were not wearing revealing clothes and their makeup was not too heavy. Although it was clearly a place of fireworks, it gave Uozuka Saburo a feeling of freshness mixed with temptation.

"How about it? It's eye-opening, right?" Looking at Uozuka Saburo with a smile, who pretended to be indifferent but whose eyes kept flickering left and right, Vodka took out a cigarette with satisfaction and lit one.

"This store is my favorite in Neon. Both the environment and the staff are top-notch."
