Kuroki Jin watched the car explode in front of his eyes, and he even had the mood to say "Wow".
Walking into the bar and waving the bartender away, Kuroki Jin walked in and picked up the utensils skillfully.
"It's an incidental part of the Bourbon Inspection. It's a shame you can reuse it, Gin."
"Hmph." Gin sneered, "When there are more people in the organization in Tokyo recently, all kinds of people start jumping up and down."
"But for a little thing like this, there's no need for gin, so you have to do it yourself." Kuroki Jin complimented without leaving any trace.
Gin glanced at him sideways, and Kuroki was almost hairy before saying, "Aren't there some people who have been avoiding me since the last mission?"
Kuroki Ren: "..."
No, he is just guilty.
"Ahem...Corpse-Reviver-No2, use it slowly." Kuroki Ren changed the subject.
Gin's hand paused, and he glanced at the wine in the glass, which was translated as [Resurrection of the Dead No. 2], and thought about the rat that was executed just now.
How long has it been since he took Jin Kuroki to the fighting ring and beat him up?
At this time, Kuroki Jin didn't know that the knife was already hanging above his head, and he was still talking about the mouse that had just gone to Paradise.
"What do you think he thinks? He dares to play the role of a middleman and eat both sides under the nose of the organization. He is really blinded by money."
Gin pulled his thoughts to synchronize with Kuroki Jin, and sneered: "Let Bourbon dig deeper, maybe there is a black hand behind him."
"Please spare the bourbon." Kuroki Jin handed a glass of Black Russian to the vodka, "He has been so busy arranging the membership list recently. If I give him another job, I guess he won't be far away from quitting the job."
Gin was noncommittal. He also knew that this was probably because he was embarrassed. After thinking about it, he set his sights on Kuroki Jin.
"Don't look at me, Gin." Kuroki Ren was frightened and took a step back. "I'm also very busy, and intelligence analysis is not my specialty. How about I lend you my intelligence officer?"
Gin knew Mead, so he sighed at Kuroki Ren's arrogance, and said slowly: "No need, anyway, there is still some time before the transaction of this thing, I will check it myself."
Only then did Kuroki Jin remember that Gin and the others had made a deal just now.
"There won't be another murder this time like last time." He took back the two empty wine glasses and asked with his eyes whether he wanted to refill them.
Gin stood up and motioned for Vodka to follow.
"Then just hope the guy across from you is a smart guy."
Monday, December 20, 1993.
Jin Kuroki posted a notice on the door of the candy house that the candy house will be open for the last week before the new year and will be temporarily closed after Christmas.
The festival is approaching and there is an endless stream of guests. Kuroki Ren's handmade candies are well-known in this area. In addition, in order to make children happy, he makes the candies into various cute shapes, resulting in unprecedented sales.
According to Kuroki Ren's estimation, this batch of candy may not last for two days.
"Brother Ren——"
Another child came over to buy candy.
Kuroki Ren smiled, with a hint of helplessness after seeing the familiar figure.
"Yuan Taijun, didn't you say you should eat less sugar?"
"But Brother Ren, the candies you made are so delicious." Motojima curled his lips, "But today I'm here to introduce you to new friends, Brother Ren."
"Oh?" Kuroki Ren looked at the two children, a boy and a girl, standing obediently behind him. The boy has some small freckles on his face and is thin; the girl is cute and cute, with a hairband on her head.
"Hello, Brother Ren, I am Yoshida Ayumi, and I am good friends with Gentai-kun." The little girl said first.
"My name is Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, hello Brother Ren." The boy was even more shy.
"Hello." Kuroki Ren walked out from the counter, squatted down slightly to be level with them, and said with a smile, "I am Kuroki Ren, please give me some advice."
"Wow -" Ayumi Yoshida had little stars in her eyes, "The candies made by brother Jin are so delicious. No wonder he hid them from us last time we went to Genta's house."
"Thank you for the compliment, Ayumi." Kuroki Jin touched her hair, and then looked at Kojima Genta with a slightly disapproving look, "Genta should learn to share, and can't secretly hide the candy and not share it with others. Guys."
"You only let me buy a limited amount every day, and I don't even have enough to eat." Moto Kojima had his own theory, "That's why I brought them here. The classes have been assigned. The three of us are here In a class.”
"That's good." Kuroki Ren turned around and picked at the counter, then held out his hand to them, with six candies placed in the palm of his hand.
"This is a small gift. You each pick two. Yuanta, you take it last. You know the taste. Let your good friends choose first."
The six candies come in six different flavors. Four are sweet and the other two are slightly sour, but overall they are in line with children's tastes. Naturally, Moto Kojima already knew their taste, but Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Ayumi Yoshida, who came to the store for the first time, did not.
"Then Ayumi should choose pink and green." Girls prefer warm colors, so it's not strange to choose pink, but she may choose green because she just likes it, because even the schoolbag she is carrying is pink.
"Then I want yellow and blue." Mitsuhiko, a boy, chose these two.
Yuanta, whose favorite flavor was picked out by Ayumi, just bulged his lips in dissatisfaction. Fortunately, the remaining ones were also very good. In addition, it was the extra candy he got today, so he obediently stepped forward and took it.
Seeing the children eating the candies he made so happily, Kuroki Ren also felt very happy. This may be one of the few relaxing times in his limited life.
The three of them looked at the drinks area for a while. Anaisuki, who came out of the back kitchen, gently introduced the taste of each drink to them, without any hesitation because they were too young to afford it.
Kuroki continued to pack candies for the customers who came. Some customers would come in in advance after seeing the notice outside the door to make reservations to pick up the candies before Christmas. Kuroki also wrote them down one by one and went back to make them slowly.
After hearing that the candy house would be temporarily closed after Christmas, the three children were disappointed. After discussing it for a while, they said hello to Kuroki Jin and left. They probably wanted to go to the family to stock up in advance. candy.
"Are we still going to hold activities for Christmas?" Anaisuki asked before finishing work.
"I don't have the time to do it." Kuroki Ren smiled lightly, "But I can make some candies with Christmas patterns and sell them on the holiday. Will Wen Ren come over and help me?"
"Brother Kuromu is going to teach me how to make candy?"
"Yeah." Heimuren nodded.
"Okay." Ruomu Wenren smiled happily.
