Scotland stood outside the safe house, coming to his senses.
The whiskey team is too familiar with each other, and it will be a matter of time before the organization moves them away. Scotland has already been mentally prepared for this.
Bourbon will definitely develop into intelligence personnel in the future. At present, it seems that rye is mixing with gin.
And he was assigned to Kashasha.
Nominally he and Kashasha are partners, but in fact... the winery does not trust them.
It’s just the relationship between the watcher and the watched.
But as a monitor, Kashasha showed great trust in him.
In a sense, this trust is more terrifying than Gin's suspicion.
Because Scotland can't help but relax in Kashasha's free-wheeling chat and gentle attitude.
He needs to constantly remind himself to remain vigilant as an undercover agent.
Inside the safe house.
Kawakami was picking at the big bag of instant noodles he had brought back. He listened to the movement outside the house, and his brain subconsciously began to analyze Scotland's every move.
Judging from the sound of footsteps, Scotland stood outside the door for a long time before walking down the stairs.
Thanks to his hyperamnesia, Kashasha even pictured the cat-eyed young man standing outside the door, frowning and thinking.
Kawakami knew exactly what Scotland was thinking.
It's nothing more than the unspoken rules of the organization, the so-called surveillance period for newcomers, and Kawakami's overly friendly attitude as a supervisor.
First of all, there is no conflict between a friendly attitude and surveillance. If we get along peacefully, everyone will be better off.
Secondly, to be honest, not all winery people are as courteous to partners with suspicious identities as Gin.
As long as they don't involve themselves, most people don't care, even Rum. Suspicion is just suspicion. As long as there is no conclusive evidence, there is no ambiguity in using people.
Wineries are equally suspicious of newcomers. Regarding this, their workers need to look at it dialectically:
Organizations doubt your identity and spy on you. Organizations doubt the identity of all new people and spy on all new people. Everyone is treated the same, which means the organization has no suspicion of spying on you.
So no need to get too nervous about it, right?
Of course, with Tsuyoshi Kawakami's position and identity, he cannot talk about this with Scotland.
Anyway, for newcomers to the winery, the loyalty inspection period is an unforgettable workplace experience. Kawakamiji had no conscience to think about.
As for whether the other party is an undercover agent...
Hope not.
He quite likes Scotland, and there aren't many normal people hanging around in the distillery.
After messing around with lunch, Kawakami visited the organization's official website and started checking the task list.
The mission release model of the Winery Action Team is very user-friendly: code members will be assigned a certain number of tasks every month, which must be completed.
In addition, the winery will release some tasks that are not time-critical and have low confidentiality for employees to choose, and they will be selected immediately without refund or exchange. Salary and benefits are directly linked to task participation.
Therefore, the working modes in the winery are very diverse: you can choose to work like gin for 996,007 every day, or you can only complete the assigned tasks and then wait to die.
Tsumugi Kawakami actually yearns for the latter, but the situation does not allow it:
First of all, he would involuntarily take on the task driven by his interest; secondly, he had a close relationship with the gentleman, and if he was too promiscuous, he might be asked to chat.
Kawakamiji wanted to find a mission that would take him to Hokkaido.
A month ago, he obtained the information he wanted through Belmode's mission. From that information, Kawakami successfully analyzed the location of the organization leader's private vault: Hokkaido.
That vault is his now.
But without enough legitimate reasons, it was impossible for Kawakami to run to Hokkaido alone without being suspected. So he wanted to take on a mission in Hokkaido.
It's a pity that Kawakamiji hasn't been brushed this whole month.
It was the same today, there were no tasks he wanted, not even tasks that could arouse his interest. Kawakami turned off the computer in disinterest.
Let him think about it...
He was going to take Scotland on a field trip in two days, and he already had a rough idea of how to plan the mission.
But we still need to go to the site to do some reconnaissance, and today is a good time.
----------------------------------------
Scotland returned to the safe house around one o'clock.
At that time, Kashasha was about to go out. He said hello to Scotland and said that he would be back in the evening, allowing Scotland to arrange his own time freely.
Kashasha looked uninterested in what Scotland had done or what he was about to do.
Scotland still maintained the caution of an undercover agent. He did not take the opportunity to contact the police, nor did he try to enter Kashasha's room.
Scotland put the purchased vegetables into the refrigerator and watered the pothos. Like a true winery man, he spent nearly an entire afternoon maintaining the firearm.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon.
Scotland wanted to call and ask Kashasha if he would be back for dinner, but found that he did not have Kashasha's contact information - the email address Kashasha notified him of the meeting place was a garbled number.
So Scotland only took care of his own weight, and was surprised to find that his relationship with Kashasha had become harmonious too quickly.
When they were still a whiskey trio, it took nearly half a month for the Scotch and rye whiskeys to mature enough to eat together, despite the constant obstruction of bourbon.
At 11:13 in the evening, Kashasha came back with tired steps.
The gray-haired young man had a big guitar bag on him, and he opened it in front of Scotland without hesitation.
What's inside is actually a guitar.
Some of the faded edges indicate frequent use, and there are a lot of coins and banknotes underneath the guitar, old and new.
Scotland was suddenly curious about what Kashasha had done.
"Can you play the guitar?"
"Not bad, not bad, professional level." Kashasha said proudly, "As you can see, the hospitality of passers-by is hard to resist."
Kasha Shadeser's appearance made Scotland smile: "You're not really going to hold a concert on the street, are you? The organization's mission also includes this?"
"Not included, but my personal hobbies include it." Kashasha replied, "Do you have a musical instrument that you are good at?"
"As for an instrument, I can play bass."
"Bass?" Kashasha's eyes lit up. He clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it into the palm of his left hand. "We can go to a concert together and the profits will be split in half. How about it, Shadow Lord, what do you think?"
Kashasha looked serious.
"If you have time," Scotland replied.
Kawakamiji nodded, thinking that if Gin saw him and a newcomer singing on the street...
The picture is so beautiful that it’s hard to imagine. I really want to try it.
He was the best at leading newcomers into bad situations, and Tsumugi Kawakami didn't believe that Gin could find fault with him in this matter and ask him to write a review.
Kawakami poured the money in his guitar bag on the table and began to sort it.
Scotland watched Kashaxia busy at work. The gray-haired young man moved skillfully and methodically. He couldn't help at the moment.
Music is a good starting point.
Kashasha is easier to get along with than he thought, and for the sake of undercover, he may be able to get closer.
Scotland went back to his room and he took the bass out.
After joining the group, Scotland hadn't relaxed enough to play bass for a long time.
"Do you want to hear it?" Scotland asked with a smile.
