The next day.
At dawn, Miyano Akemi woke up from her sleep, rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked into the bathroom.
As the cold water hit her face, the coolness brought her back to reality.
It was only one night, but when Miyano Akemi looked at her unkempt self in the mirror, she felt like she was in another world.
After staring for a moment, she wrung out the towel and wiped away the remaining water on her face.
At this moment--
A voice came from beside her——
"woke up?"
This sudden sound startled Miyano Akemi. She had been living alone, but there was another person at home?
But the shock was only for a moment, and she soon recalled it.
It was already late at night when Belmode sent her home last night. Out of politeness, Miyano Akemi asked her to stay at her house for one night——
Originally, she was subconsciously worried about Belmod's safety, but then she thought about it. With Belmod's fighting power...it was other people who were in danger.
And... considering the surname Miyano, Belmod would probably not be willing to stay under the same roof with her for a long time.
Anyway, it's really just out of politeness.
As a result, Belmode agreed without hesitation——
Although the current relationship between Bellmode and Miyano Akemi is not close, as a best friend, Naomi Koyama has spent the night here many times.
Just staying overnight, already familiar with the road.
Miyano Akemi saw clearly the appearance of the silver-haired woman holding a mouthwash cup beside her.
She was wearing a thin pink pajamas, her long hair was simply tied behind her back, and she was holding a toothbrush in one hand. Judging from the foam around her mouth, she had been standing here for a while.
"Ah, that's..."
"What's wrong?" Faced with Miyano Akemi's surprise, Belmod frowned and asked.
"No, no, it's okay."
Miyano Akemi shook her head and did not point out that the toothbrush Belmod was using now belonged to Naomi Koyama, who had stayed at her house several times before.
Time passed quickly. After washing up and having breakfast——
After Miyano Akemi finished cleaning up, she quickly put the bowl back in its place. After saying hello to Belmod, she sat on the green sofa in the living room and took out her phone to make a call.
"Who are you calling?"
Belmode sat next to Miyano Akemi and held down her dialing finger.
"I'm going to call Brandy. If I just go on the mission, it's likely to fail, so I want to get some help from him, and..."
She bit her lip.
"besides?"
"Also, I hope this matter can be kept secret from Shiho."
"That's it."
After hearing the answer, Belmod let go, covered his mouth and yawned, lying back on the soft backrest of the sofa, "Don't tell him I'm here."
"Yes." Miyano Akemi nodded and dialed Brandy's number.
After five seconds of ringing.
"Can I help you? Miss Akemi." Asakura Makoto put down the pen in his hand, waited for the ink to dry, looked at the caller ID on the phone screen, and picked up the call.
"..." Miyano Akemi was about to make some public greetings, but before she could speak, the moment the call was connected, Belmode, who was half-lying lazily one moment, had her cell phone close to Miyano the next second. In front of Noakimei, there were prompts or commands written on the email editing interface - just say things directly.
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here..]
At the same time, she reached around the speakerphone button with her other hand and pressed it gently.
"That's right. I accepted the assassination mission at the rally last night."
"Scotland has already told me about this matter, so do you need any help?"
Scotland is worthy of being a member of the police academy team in the original history. His ability and understanding are first-class. Even without the guidance of Asakura, he has developed an intelligence agent under Rum without any guidance.
This time, at the end of the meeting, Scotland compiled a detailed report of the information and handed it over.
"I would like to ask if there is any way to make this mission successful." Success means the death of Akai Marie.
Asking this question, Miyano Akemi really made a lot of determination.
"Um......"
However, after she firmly asked this question, Asakura fell into silence for a while. This silence was as if she had encountered a problem and was thinking hard about how to solve it.
Is it impossible?
At this moment, Miyano Akemi doubted herself. It must be difficult to make Brandy show such an attitude...
Miss Miyano, who didn't know enough about Brandy's nature, entered a state of self-doubt, but Belmode sitting beside her unconsciously sat up straighter.
I'm afraid this guy has some dirty ideas again.
It has to be said that Belmode still understands Asakura Makoto, and her next words confirmed her hunch.
"If it's just you, there's no problem, but Moscato seems to want to find a teammate for you." Zhen Asakura said while spinning his pen, "They plan to let your friend, Xiaoshan Naomi is going with you."
Hearing this...
"?"
Belmode almost crushed the cell phone that was ready to remind Miyano Akemi at any time. She herself didn't know about this!
When it comes to dogs, it has to be brandy. If she hadn't been caught red-handed today, I'm afraid a mission would have fallen on her head out of thin air and she still wouldn't know what happened.
Countless curses in my heart finally merged into one sentence - Brandy, wait for me!
This sudden information made Bermod unable to help but lose his composure. Unfortunately, the moment Miyano Akemi heard Naomi Koyama's name, she entered a state of uncontrollable panic and guilt, and did not notice the abnormality of the people around her. Otherwise, Belmod's vest would have been exposed on the spot.
After hesitating for a while, Miyano Akemi was in a low mood, and asked in a trembling voice with some fear: "Is... is it because of me?"
"No, it's not because of you." Asakura was stunned. There was a clear "click" sound on Miyano Akemi's phone, and it was the pen that hit the table.
"It's because of me." Asakura said every word.
"Rum's goal was only me from the beginning. The reason he targeted you was to bring me down. The reason he targeted Naomi Koyama was also to bring me down."
"So you don't need to feel any guilt,"
He picked up the pen, checked that there were no scratches on it, and then continued, "Miss Shiho, don't worry, I will keep it a secret from her."
"As for the mission, I will send someone to go with you secretly. All you have to do is protect yourselves along the way. Be careful. You must be more careful about the black hands inside than the mission target."
"Rather than letting you fail the mission, it is actually a better choice to get rid of you directly. If necessary, you can give up Naomi Koyama and run away. As long as you don't show that you care about her safety, the killer will give priority to hunting you down."
Asakura spoke with great sincerity about his prepared methods, and meticulously fulfilled his previous vow to protect Miyano Akemi. Combined with his past record, he gave the impression that he was extremely safe at this time.
Just hang up the phone.
Even though Asakura took the initiative to take responsibility for causing Naomi Koyama to be involved in danger, Akemi Miyano still couldn't avoid worrying about Naomi Koyama's safety.
She sat on the sofa, holding the silent cell phone for a long time.
Seeing that the results of her enlightenment last night were in vain, Belmode sighed silently - this brandy was probably waiting for her to do this!
"Don't worry about Naomi Koyama, leave her to me."
