Gin likes me?

"Then believe me, you've done a great job." He rubbed his hands twice with slight force and looked at Miyano Akemi, whose emotions had stabilized a little. Uozuka Saburo knew that he would be forced to act as a psychological counselor tonight.

"As a sister, you are already very good, so the rest is to do your own thing."

"Come on, tell me, what is it that has you so entangled?"

120: So she is Mingmei

"Brother Uozuka should know that Shiho and I's parents were once members of the organization, right?"

When Miyano Akemi spoke again, Uozuka Saburo also calmed down and listened to her story seriously.

Not only did he care about what Miyano Akemi was worried about, but more importantly, the parents that Miyano Akemi mentioned were once members of the organization but had died due to an experimental accident.

Saburo Uozuka didn't know much about those two people, but he knew that they were definitely not ordinary researchers.

Not only does Vodka, as an elite cadre in the organization with a reputation as a wine lover, have a lot of interactions with them, but even the big sister Kurosawa Hotaru, who seems to know a lot about the organization but doesn't say anything, once implicitly stated when she met the Miyano sisters that it would be best not to have too many interactions with the two sisters.

Based on Kurosawa Hotaru's personality, she would definitely not worry about the two girls who have no fighting ability at all. The only explanation is that there are people or backgrounds behind them that even Kurosawa Hotaru is afraid of.

In fact, even Saburo Uozuka himself had some guesses. Although there are many members of the organization living in the Pisk Building now, Saburo Uozuka, who survived and even graduated from the organization's killer training base, knows very well that their organization is definitely not an organization that likes to do charity.

Cruelty, competition, cold-bloodedness and efficiency are imprinted in the organizational style!

Saburo Uozuka has experienced this too much.

In such an organization, an ordinary girl who is sixteen years old and still attending high school, a young girl who is just ten years old and can't do anything, can actually own her own residence and receive a living allowance from the organization every month, which is not rich but enough to meet her basic needs. This is already a big problem!

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but Uozuka Saburo didn't say anything.

He knew that perhaps today he would be able to learn something deeper from Miyano Akemi.

"When I was still young and Shiho wasn't even born yet, my father and mother had already joined the organization. But at that time, I didn't have much involvement with the organization."

Sitting next to Uozuka Saburo, Miyano Akemi opened her eyes and looked at the sky above her head, her voice sounding a little vague and ethereal.

"I don't know much about my parents' work. I just vaguely know that they seem to be researching a drug under the organization's request. The organization also attaches great importance to this drug. My parents also have a high position in the organization, but they are also under very strict supervision."

"Until Shiho was born, our family didn't have much time to go out and play together. At that time, I even complained about why my parents were so busy every day." With a bitter look in her eyes, it was difficult for Miyano Akemi to maintain a good attitude when talking about her deceased parents.

"My parents always smiled and said that everything would be fine in the future, but I didn't know at that time how helpless they were when they said that."

"Originally, I had almost adapted to this kind of life. Although my parents were busy with research every day and I was with Shiho most of the time, we still had time together as a family."

"Until... until mom and dad left us forever because of the failure of the experiment."

Her body began to tremble, and Miyano Akemi tried hard to calm herself, but she couldn't help but raise her right hand tremblingly, as if craving for comfort, and carefully but firmly grasped Uozuka Saburo's sleeve.

"Amei." Seeing Miyano Akemi, who had always been gentle and cheerful, showing such a sad expression, Uozuka Saburo opened his mouth but could not say any words of comfort. He could only continue to put his hand on Miyano Akemi's little head, hoping to bring her some warmth.

"Actually, I've somewhat accepted the fact that my parents have passed away." Miyano Akemi wiped the corner of her eyes with her left hand. Feeling Uozuka Saburo's concern, she felt a little relieved, but she did not let go of the hand that was pinching Uozuka Saburo's sleeve.

"I originally didn't want to have anything to do with the organization anymore, but I had no choice at the time. I had no ability to provide Shiho with living conditions, so I could only accept the organization's request."

"I'm willing to work for the organization in the future, but, I just don't want Shiho to continue to be involved with this organization, but, but!" The voice suddenly trembled again, and Miyano Akemi's eyes were full of helplessness and pain, and she looked at Uozuka Saburo pitifully.

"I still haven't taken good care of Shiho. I never thought that Shiho would inherit her parents' talents and have such talents in biology and medicine! She's only ten years old!"

"When I was found by the organization and heard them talking about the next training plan for Shiho, I was really confused. The thing I was most worried about happened!"

"Brother Uozuka, Shiho is only ten years old. Why is God so unfair to our family?"

"..." Silence. Uozuka Saburo didn't know what else to say except silence.

Just looking at the sad Miyano Akemi in front of him, Uozuka Saburo also felt depressed.

Without any distracting thoughts in his mind, Uozuka Saburo reached out his hands and slowly hugged the trembling Miyano Akemi.

After being embraced by Uozuka Saburo, Miyano Akemi, who had been keeping her emotions tense, seemed to have broken through the barrier. She buried her head tightly in Uozuka Saburo's chest and suffered silently.

A long time, a long time.

"I'm sorry, Uozuka-san, for causing you trouble today."

When the trembling body gradually calmed down, Miyano Akemi, who had calmed down, took the initiative to break away from Uozuka Saburo's arms, and a gentle smile that was not unnatural appeared on her face again.

"I've been rambling a lot, I'm really sorry, but..."

"I know, Mingmei, it's okay, just say it out."

"Well, Uozuka-san is indeed so gentle." With her eyes flickering, Miyano Akemi nodded with a smile, then stood up from the bench.

"It's getting late. I have to go back to take care of Shiho. Brother Uozuka, you should also go back and rest early~"

"...good."

"Hehe, I'm really happy on my birthday today. Really, really happy. Thank you, Uozuka-san!~"

"..." Silently watching Miyano Akemi leave with brisk steps, Uozuka Saburo sat there without moving.

He took out a cigarette from his bosom and lit it. Looking at the burning flame, Saburo Uozuka did not put the cigarette in his mouth.

How could a cigarette relieve the depression in his heart at that moment?

"I originally thought that Mingmei would ask you to find a way to get her sisters out of the organization."

A voice suddenly sounded from behind Uozuka Saburo, and a hand reached out from behind and took away Uozuka Saburo's lit cigarette.

However, Uozuka Saburo was not moved at all and still sat there motionless.

"It is precisely because she cannot do that that she is Mingmei."

"Isn't it, Master?"

121: This feeling of powerlessness

"When did you find out I was here?"

Leaning back on the bench, Vodka turned his back to Uozuka Saburo and smoked a cigarette.

"It was about the same time when Mingmei and I sat down. But you didn't hide your presence at all, did you? Mingmei is invisible to ordinary people, but professionals will not ignore the aura you exude."

Waving his hand casually, Saburo Uozuka was not interested in Vodka's actions following behind him.

"Well done, Saburo. I know that Mingmei and Shiho had a lot of fun today."

Vodka chuckled and exhaled a puff of smoke, and Uozuka Saburo raised an eyebrow at what he said.

"So, you still think that you can't say it, and you are not going to show up in front of the two sisters?"

"I'll be very satisfied if I can take care of them a little bit behind the scenes and keep them from getting into danger."

Shaking his head in self-mockery, Vodka at this moment abandoned his former self-confidence as an elite liquor cadre, and his words were full of bitterness and helplessness.

"Because of the drug Mingmei's parents were researching?"

He slowly turned his head and looked at Vodka, who had his back to him and only half of his face was visible in the shadow. Uozuka Saburo's eyes were full of confusion and curiosity.

"What on earth is that drug? Why does the organization attach so much importance to it?"

"..."

"And both you and Big Sister seem to know something, but neither of you has the intention to tell me!"

"It's right not to tell you. This matter is not something you should be exposed to at your current level."

"But why does the big sister seem to know something?"

"Her? She's a little special, but if you're really curious, it's better to ask her directly. Is the information you got from me really what you want to know?"

"... Tsk, you really can't tell me?" His eyes were a little unhappy. Uozuka Saburo really hated Vodka's practice of arousing people's curiosity but then doing nothing about it.

"The research of that drug was personally ordered and supervised by the boss of the organization. It is the drug that is given the highest priority. All actions of our entire organization are for the research of this drug. Anyone who may hinder the research of the drug will not be spared by the organization and the boss. This is the only thing I can tell you now. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I get it." With an unwilling sigh, Uozuka Saburo only then realized how real his situation was.

Even though most things had gone smoothly for me since I met Kurosawa Hotaru at the training base, I still felt so insignificant when I was faced with this behemoth organization.

"When I become an elite cadre with a wine name, I will be qualified to know these things, right?"

"That's right. Once you become an elite cadre, you will truly discover how terrifying our organization is."

With an insincere smile on his lips, Vodka spoke in a low voice with an ambiguous expression.

"That's really scary." Shaking his head, Uozuka Saburo took out another cigarette from the cigarette box, put it in his mouth and lit it.

"So, about Shiho's matter."

"Don't get involved, no matter how uncomfortable you feel. Even I can't do anything about it!"

"...I see."

"If you feel uncomfortable, just take better care of the two sisters in the future." Reaching out and patting Saburo Uozuka's shoulder, Vodka left the indoor park silently with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Tsk."

With a displeased sigh, Uozuka Saburo stood up with a cigarette in his mouth, and his figure slowly disappeared from the park.

Since I can't do anything now, I'll just work hard to become stronger!

Saburo Uozuka will remember clearly the personal experience of feeling powerless in the face of the organization today.

. . .

"hu~hu~"

Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down from Uozuka Saburo's head, but Uozuka Saburo no longer had the energy to wipe the sweat off.

His eyes were staring at the figure in front of him, which was much smaller than himself, like a tiger staring at its prey, and Saburo Uozuka's face was full of solemnity.

'No, I still can't see the flaw!'

He gritted his teeth unwillingly, feeling helpless as Saburo Uozuka, who had always been confident in his close combat.

No matter how better your physical fitness and strength are, your blows will not work if they don't effectively hit the target!

"Ha!" Knowing that he didn't have much time left, Uozuka Saburo was not going to continue wasting it here. After taking a deep breath, Uozuka Saburo rushed forward, hoping to make up for all his disadvantages with a wave of powerful continuous attacks.

However, his opponent did not give him this opportunity.

"boom!"

The continuous punches were cleverly blocked by the force. When Uozuka Saburo was not stable in another lunge, Kurosawa Hotaru nimbly found the gap in Uozuka Saburo, stepped forward, pressed down, and knocked Uozuka Saburo to the ground.

"Ha! No, I still can't beat you, Big Sister."

He fell heavily to the ground, but without feeling much pain, Uozuka Saburo stretched his sweaty limbs and body on the spot with a sad face.

He had been fighting with Kurosawa Hotaru for nearly half an hour. This was an intense fighting training that aimed to exhaust the body's physical strength. Uozuka Saburo would do this with Kurosawa Hotaru once a week.

It's just a pity that since the beginning of this link, Uozuka Saburo has never won a victory over Kurosawa Hotaru.

Looking at Uozuka Saburo lying on the ground and unable to get up, Kurosawa Hotaru's mouth corners slightly raised.

She would never tell Uozuka Saburo that she had given her all in this fight, without holding back at all, and had risked being knocked down by Uozuka Saburo's heavy blows several times yet still managed to win.

Even a strong-willed person like Kurosawa Hotaru had to admit that when it came to close combat, Uozuka Saburo was much more talented than himself.

Excellent reaction ability, strong beast-like instincts, plus the physical fitness and strength of a humanoid black bear.

Kurosawa Hotaru could conclude that if he was given another year or two to hone his skills, Uozuka Saburo's close combat ability would be among the best in the organization.

"I'll have to find a way to train with weapons in the future."

Not wanting to show her inadequacy in front of Uozuka Saburo, Kurosawa Hotaru had some dark thoughts in her heart, but she took water and a towel in her hands and sat casually next to Uozuka Saburo.

"Wipe the sweat off."

"Hey, okay, big sister."

122: You are showing off! You are showing off!

Feeling that Kurosawa Hotaru had sat next to him, Uozuka Saburo also moved his arm slightly to avoid accidentally touching something he shouldn't touch.

Although he has always treated Kurosawa Hotaru as a younger sister, the eldest sister in his family is also a grown-up girl, and there are some things that he, an older man, should pay more attention to.

Fighting and training are one thing, but in daily life, we still have to realize that Kurosawa Hotaru is already a young girl.

"The big sister is really powerful. I have tried my best, but I am still no match for her."

He grabbed a towel and wiped his face, then rolled up the towel and placed it behind his neck to make himself more comfortable.
