"...I am very wronged."
Belmode performed the performance with great emotion, but it was a pity that the only audience did not even want to give her a look.
"It doesn't matter what Xiaoren did this time. After all, I owe the Black Feather Bandit a friendship, not his son."
"What's more, in our profession, there is no kindness or righteousness left in us."
Kuroki Jin was tired: "Stop acting."
He didn't believe Belmod's lies.
"I'm not angry that I did such a thing." He took out the Campari that Belmod had given him before from the refrigerator and poured a glass of it. "I originally thought that among so many people in the organization, the relationship between you and me should be better than the others."
"It's definitely better."
"But there is no difference." Kuroki Jin said lightly, "Belmod, this is not the first time."
"I hate being taken advantage of and doing things that go against my own will."
"Gin sometimes takes advantage of me, but except when he is completely too late, he will explain it to me in advance, even if he uses vague code words to hint to me."
"So I don't object to doing things for him. I think there is no problem in leaving these things to me."
Kuroki Jin drank more than half of the glass of wine in one gulp. He couldn't help but wrinkled his nose as he couldn't get used to the taste of the wine.
"But you are different. You never say anything. You only push people to move forward step by step, and then you have to choose the answer you give."
Kuroki Jin: "I won't talk about some trivial matters. I made it very clear that day at the dock. If something happens in the future, you can tell me directly. I will consider doing anything that does not trigger my bottom line. of."
"You promised me, Belmode."
"But there were several times after that, did you still plot against me, and every time you looked at me as if I didn't realize it... OK, you have a reason every time, and I don't mind again."
"But did I call you before this operation?"
Kuroki Jin became angry, "I looked for clues myself and guessed that you might be related to Kaitou Kidd, so I asked you specifically if you wanted me to do anything about this matter."
"You said no, let me do it myself."
"I vowed to catch him, but he returned the favor you wanted, which makes my actions tonight completely lose the meaning I wanted."
"Is it difficult to talk about this kind of thing? Or in your eyes, I am not worthy of you opening your mouth to explain these two sentences."
"If this is the reason, just pretend I didn't say it tonight."
He wrote a long message, getting more and more angry as he spoke. He drank two glasses of wine, and when he was pouring the third glass, the wine bottle in his hand was covered by warm palms.
"Xiaoren," Belmod's voice was very gentle, "you calm down first, don't drink like this."
"You don't have a good capacity for drinking. Drinking like this will hurt your health."
Kuroki Jin didn't look at her.
"Let me apologize to you first," Belmod gently rubbed the back of his head, "Although this is indeed my usual behavior, I ignored your feelings."
Kuroki Jin's feelings for Gin and Belmod have long gone beyond the feelings of ordinary organization members or simple benefactors. Compared with his superiors and subordinates who have a simple relationship, he spends more time relying on them.
When you are used as a pawn by someone you trust in exchange for benefits, it feels tantamount to betrayal.
Kuroki Jin is a very well-behaved child. He doesn't know how to express when he's wronged, and he only gives in generously again and again.
This kind of concession will make Belmode think that he is already used to all this.
No wonder Gin treats him so fatherly sometimes...
Belmode thought to himself.
"Xiao Ren, I promise you, there won't be a next time." Belmode took the bottle from Kuromu Ren's hand at some point, "If you have any grievances in the future, you can just do what you did today. Just show it to me."
"I'm not Gin, and I will never be straightforward. If you don't tell me, I won't know your true feelings in your heart."
"...Xiao Ren?"
Belmod found that Kuroki Ren was distracted, which made her a little helpless. She didn't know whether she should repeat what she just said.
She hadn't been so harmonious and kind to anyone in decades, and even that gentleman didn't deserve to be treated like this.
Kuroki Jin didn't mean to be dazed. He was listening to Belmod's speech very carefully, but when he heard the words "No one will know what you are thinking if you don't tell me," Haiyuan suddenly flashed in his mind. The sad figure.
Even if there are so many communication problems between Belmod and him, who he has known since childhood, does that mean that maybe his feelings have never been successfully conveyed to Haiyuan?
"I know..." Kuroki Ren whispered.
"Huh? What?" Belmode didn't hear clearly, so he leaned slightly closer and asked carefully.
"I'm easy to coax." Kuroki Ren faced her and pursed his lips slightly.
Belmode smiled, charming but not enchanting, "Then Xiaoren, have you forgiven me?"
"Of course...but I still need some mental comfort."
"What do you like about your sister?"
"Well..." No matter what it is, it is ordinary for Belmode, and she will not feel bad if she gives it to herself. But Kuroki Ren didn't want to be so relaxed. She had made him uncomfortable so many times, and he would feel sorry for himself if she didn't retaliate.
"Is anything possible?" Kuro Muren raised a smile on his lips.
Although Kuroki Jin's smile gave Bermod a bad premonition, she still gritted her teeth and said, "Anything is fine!"
"Then prepare a gift for Shirley."
"……ha?"
Kuroki Jin said seriously, "I thought about it, I don't have anything in particular that I want, and I don't really want to give up this opportunity, so I generously gave the opportunity to the person I like."
Belmode: "..."
Sorry, she just wants to know, does the person you like know that you are so generous?
All kinds of emotions appeared on Belmod's face in just a few seconds, as if his face changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really want this request?"
It was rare to see Belmod in trouble, so Kuroki Ren didn't intend to change his mind, he just needed to tactfully recruit her.
"Of course it doesn't matter if you don't want to..." His tone was calm, but with a hint of grievance, "Just pretend that nothing happened today."
"……OK."
"Huh?" Kuroki Ren looked at her with wide eyes.
Belmod gritted his teeth and said: "I said yes, I will prepare a 'gift' for her!"
"It's a gift in the truest sense. After all, it's up to me to deliver it."
Kuroki couldn't help but remind him that she was afraid that Bermod would find someone to kill him in anger and send his head to Shirley as a gift.
"Don't worry!" Belmode glared at him fiercely, "You can definitely do it!"
Kuroki Ren nodded obediently and sighed inwardly:
This tone does not sound like someone who wants to give a gift at all.
