Gin likes me?

"..." After silently glancing at Uozuka Saburo, Kurosawa Hotaru took the drink and easily pulled the pull ring.

"Those people today, you wanted to rescue them yourself, right?"

After taking a sip of the drink and letting the carbon dioxide bubbles spread in his mouth along with the refreshing orange flavor, Kurosawa Hotaru turned his eyes to the side and glanced at Uozuka Saburo, who had become quiet because of his question.

"Yes." After a moment's silence, Uozuka Saburo nodded seriously.

He didn't want to deceive Kurosawa Hotaru because there was no one in this world who was closer to them than each other.

"Yeah." Kurosawa Hotaru nodded slightly, took another sip of his drink, and looked around casually.

"You go and make dinner tonight."

"Um, okay, what do you want to eat, big sister?" He blinked dryly. Although he didn't know why Kurosawa Hotaru suddenly skipped that topic, Uozuka Saburo immediately reacted when he heard that his big sister was hungry.

"Just make it as you like." She waved her hand casually. This was not because Kurosawa Hotaru was being perfunctory, but because she understood that instead of letting herself order the dishes when she had difficulty choosing the food, it would be better to leave the preparation to Uozuka Saburo, who had a clear understanding of her taste.

"Okay, then I'll go buy some vegetables first. Big sister, please wait for me." He gave a thumbs up with understanding, and Uozuka Saburo stood up with a smile.

Dinner was prepared very smoothly. Although he wanted to show off his cooking skills, in the end, Uozuka Saburo only made four dishes and one soup.

After all, Kurosawa Hotaru has never had a big appetite, and she eats in the cafeteria every day just to satisfy the nutritional intake required for a day's training. Only occasionally when Uozuka Saburo wants to change his taste and cooks by himself, Kurosawa Hotaru can eat a little more.

While eating, Uozuka Saburo smiled and told Kurosawa Hotaru the interesting things he saw when he was undercover next to Yoshida Taiping.

And Kurosawa Hotaru, just like before, just listened silently to Uozuka Saburo's story, and only replied with a word occasionally to prove that she was listening carefully.

For the two killers, this was an all too ordinary time.

But it was also a time that the two of them couldn't help but indulge in.

On the last night, Uozuka Saburo, with a face full of shame, carefully lay down on his rather large bed under the cold gaze of Kurosawa Hotaru, who looked at him as if to say, "What are you thinking about?"

Well, Kurosawa Hotaru is on the other side of the bed.

Saburo Uozuka, who was originally hesitant before going to bed, calmed down after lying down on the bed and feeling the breath of Kurosawa Hotaru beside him.

"Big sister, why don't you ask me?"

This sudden speech broke the silence in the room, as Uozuka Saburo knew from the sound of Kurosawa Hotaru's breathing that he was not asleep, while he kept his back to Kurosawa Hotaru.

"Is there anything worth asking?" The cold and somewhat hoarse voice unique to Kurosawa Hotaru sounded, making Uozuka Saburo unable to help but listen carefully to the next words.

"Uozuka, as long as it's your business, I will help you, remember this."

"...Well, I remember the big sister!"

"Finish the mission soon. You've fallen behind on too much training."

"Ok, I know!"

He nodded confidently. Everything had been going well so far, said Saburo Uozuka. As long as no one made trouble, his undercover mission this time would be very smooth!

. . .

The troublemaker is coming.

Looking at the vodka who suddenly appeared in front of him with dull eyes, Saburo Uozuka resisted the urge to throw the cocktail in his hand into the other's face!

"What's the matter, Master? (gritting teeth)"

"Wow, that attitude is really hurtful, even though I've been helping you a lot."

"...You are right. I am very grateful to your master." After a slight silence, Uozuka Saburo nodded seriously.

Vodka was right, he did help him, and it was too unkind of him to drive him away without even saying thank you.

Well, I should be grateful now, right?

"Can you please get out of my sight as soon as possible! (Smile~)"

"I'm afraid not. After all, I also have something important to tell you." Vodka smiled and shook his finger. Before Uozuka Saburo's expression became more entangled, Vodka said something that instantly calmed Uozuka Saburo.

"It has something to do with your big sister."

“Please tell me what happened!”

"...Your attitude changes really quickly." He took the wine from Uozuka Saburo with a subtle look in his eyes, took a sip of vodka, and then spoke under Uozuka Saburo's serious gaze.

"Didn't I use the task interface to call out your big sister last time? Because it was a virtual task, I just said one that was easy to complete. Now that girl has returned to the base, I can delay it for a day or two, but if Pisco asks about it, I will show him the results of the task."

"You're right. So, what does Big Sister's mission require me to do?"

"Rather than saying that I need you, it's better to say that this task is best given to you. No, it definitely belongs to you." Giving a thumbs up to Saburo Uozuka, Vodka showed a smile on his face that made Saburo Uozuka's fists itch.

"It is my duty!" Taking a deep breath, for the sake of Kurosawa Hotaru, Uozuka Saburo had no intention of backing down.

No matter how difficult the task is, you have to complete it!

"I like your aura, Sanlang. The task you need to complete is to rush to the Rice Flower Hotel at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow, then attend a banquet and steal the disk carried by the target person during the banquet."

"Stealing disks?"

"Oh, by the way, this banquet is hosted by the Suzuki Group, so you have to pay attention to it."

"...Suzuki Group?"

"Well, always remember that your little girl will be here too!~"

"...Master, I remember you said that the whole mission was designed by you casually, right?"

"Well, I am worthy of being able to design a reasonable and not difficult task in such a short time!"

"..."

"Sanlang, why are you silent?"

"Ishikawa! Seal the door of the tavern and have the brothers bring their weapons over. This bastard seems to be from Yoshikawa Society!"

"Eh?" Vodka looked at Uozuka Saburo in surprise, who suddenly threw the wine glass to the ground and then looked at him viciously. He felt that things were moving a little too fast.

"Um, Saburo?"

"Brother Kurosawa, the brothers are here!"

"Alright, let's do it, regardless of life or death!!"

"Gan!"

073: Is it because you take a shower every day?

Of course, life or death is just a joke, not to mention that Uozuka Saburo certainly cannot let Vodka die here.

Just say that if he didn't fight hard, how could he hurt Vodka with the help of Yoshida Taiping's brothers in this bar?

just kidding.

He made up a plausible excuse to fool Yoshida Taiping who came to check the situation after hearing the news, and after another day of eating and drinking at public expense, Uozuka Saburo returned to his room.

His eyes wandered between the sofa and the bed for a while, and then Uozuka Saburo leisurely half-lay down on the bed.

Feeling the faint lingering fragrance between the wings of his nostrils, Uozuka Saburo had to admit that girls really are magical creatures.

Both Kurosawa Hotaru and I train so hard every day and sweat so much, but why does Kurosawa Hotaru smell better than me?

Could it be because Kurosawa Hotaru takes a bath every day?

Scratching his head in confusion, knowing that Kurosawa Hotaru never wears perfume or anything like that, Uozuka Saburo decided to give up on this question that he was destined to never figure out, and turned to look at a document he picked up from the ground at the door.

"If possible, I really hope that Master can use his mobile phone to send me information more often in the future."

He shook his head helplessly. The thing that Uozuka Saburo could not accept the most after traveling through time and space, which still made him depressed even after four years, was that the mobile phones and the Internet in this world were so backward compared to before he traveled through time and space.

After complaining a few words casually, he pulled out the intelligence sheets one by one and quickly looked at the contents of the intelligence sheets in the light of the bedside lamp.

The information provided by Vodka was as comprehensive and concise as ever. It took less than five minutes for Uozuka Saburo to read through all the information.

"This mission..." His eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and there was something wrong in Saburo Uozuka's eyes after reading the information.

This time, he wanted to steal a disk from the target person, but the identity of that target person was somewhat intriguing.

"Is it currently the largest automobile manufacturer in the Tokyo area?"

His eyes flickered slightly, and Uozuka Saburo picked up a lighter and ignited the information, which turned into ashes and fell into the ashtray on the bedside.

"Master, are you trying to help Pisk? No, are you trying to please Pisk?"

After thinking about it for a long time but still unable to figure it out, Uozuka Saburo decisively gave up thinking.

I don’t even have a name for my wine now, why should I worry about such things between cadres?

As long as he completes the task, hands the disk to Vodka and lets Kurosawa Hotaru get out of this matter, that will be enough for Uozuka Saburo now.

"The question is, how can I sneak into that cocktail party?"

Lighting a cigarette and holding it between his lips, Saburo Uozuka thought about the distribution of time.

Although it was usually enough for him to accompany Yoshida Taiping until around seven in the evening, Uozuka Saburo felt relaxed after Yoshida Taiping returned to his villa.

However, there have been a lot of things happening in the Fengyue Society recently, and Uozuka Saburo cannot guarantee that he will not really encounter any trouble on the day of the cocktail party, which will cause Yoshida Taiping to refuse to let him leave.

"Then we have to find a way to make Yoshida Taiping not want to go out and cause trouble."

There was a flash of coldness in his eyes, and Uozuka Saburo said in a deep voice.

. . .

"Eh? Train me!"

Yoshida Taiping, who was still in his pajamas and enjoying his morning relaxation time, did not react to the tilt of the wine glass in his hand. He looked at Uozuka Saburo who had suddenly come to his house early. Before he could say anything with a smile, he heard words that shocked him.

"That's right. I think the young master has been attacked too many times recently. Although he has our protection, if the young master can have a better understanding and sense of combat, his safety will be better guaranteed!"

Uozuka Saburo said these words righteously to the stunned Yoshida Taiping, and his performance was completely loyal to the person he was following, so Yoshida Taiping did not have any doubts at all.

"Um, but you're here, Kurosawa, I..." Blinking awkwardly, Yoshida Taiping put the glass with some spilled wine aside and wanted to explain.

"Master, don't forget the ambitions you told me back then! If we can't keep living, none of our dreams will come true!"

Looking at Yoshida Taiping with burning eyes, Uozuka Saburo's resolute attitude made Yoshida Taiping unable to even say "sorry".

"Master, please don't let me and my brothers down!"

"You're right, Kurosawa!" Yoshida Taiping gritted his teeth and looked at Uozuka Saburo who was so 'loyal' to him and was willing to give him advice at the risk of making him unhappy, and his heart was deeply moved.

That's right, he wants to achieve great things and become the man who is the boss of Tokyo, no! He wants to be the boss of the Japanese underground world!

How can you easily lose your life just because of some villains' spying?

"It's just exercise! Come on! I, Yoshida Taiping, have never given up on anything since I was born!"

"I'll leave this matter entirely to you, Kurosawa! I trust you!"

"Well, don't worry, young master." Looking at Yoshida Taiping who had mustered up his courage with a smile, Uozuka Saburo narrowed his eyes so that he could not see the hidden success.

"I am very professional!"

. . .

"Brother Kurosawa, Master, this is..."

Handing the dead dog-like Yoshida Taiping to his younger brother who was waiting outside the practice room, Uozuka Saburo clapped his hands in a relaxed manner, not caring at all about the expression on his younger brother's face that looked like he was about to cry.

"The young master is truly admirable. He is so determined to train. We should all study hard!"

He praised Yoshida Taiping in a deep voice to the people around him, and then Uozuka Saburo said that Yoshida Taiping, who had fainted after being thrown over his shoulder ten times in a row, was just too obsessed with training and became tired, so he asked his men to take Yoshida Taiping back to rest quickly.

"Phew, it's still early."

After looking at the time, Uozuka Saburo drove the car that Yoshida Taiping lost to him and quickly rushed to the Beika Hotel.

Quietly entering the staff's logistics room, Saburo Uozuka found the original owner of the identity that Vodka provided to him in the intelligence.

Knocked unconscious, tied up, gagged, and sent to the closet.

After completing this series of operations smoothly, Saburo Uozuka changed into the clothes of a man who was about the same size as himself.

"I'm the waiter who's in charge of changing the desserts on every table during the cocktail party. I'm a friend of this guy named 'Chishima Kota', and he temporarily asked me to help him."

Nodding to himself in the mirror with satisfaction, Saburo Uozuka took a deep breath and walked out of the locker room.

The infiltration is complete, and all that remains is to find a way to get the disk!
