"It sounds like you had a quarrel?" the gentleman asked caringly.
"There have been several quarrels before, but not recently." Kawakami replied strictly. "The reason why we quarreled before was because Scotland likes to meddle in other people's business. There was also a quarrel with Bourbon... or because Scotland likes to meddle in other people's business." Mind your own business.”
If he is free, the gentleman in such a large organization should have everything to do every day. If he is busy, he can still find time to chat with him.
In fact, even a job change can attract that gentleman, which really makes Kawakami feel a little valued.
"Is this why you are applying to dissolve the partnership, Kashasha?" the gentleman asked.
"Not entirely, how should I put it...I feel a little tired. My interest in partners usually doesn't last long." Kawakami replied, "If there are any new people in the organization, you can leave them to me to play with."
Half of it was a lie. Kawakami Kei's interest in his partner really didn't last long. He usually found it boring after he found out all the details about the other person; but Scotland was a surprise.
On the one hand, it's because this guy is quite stubborn and can act like a real member of the organization even though his identity is impure; on the other hand, Scotland and Kawakami have a good compatibility and their personalities are quite compatible.
As for why the partnership was terminated...
The direct reason is that because of the inconvenience, Kawakami's research on anti-C750 can easily be discovered by Scotland; the indirect reason is his current state. Under the influence of the medicine, Kawakami can easily associate Scotland with the previous Armagnac, thus Start calculating the likelihood that you will make the same mistake again.
Even if he knew rationally that there was little chance of him making the same mistake again, it would affect Kawakami's mood.
It's embarrassing because drugs can't control his emotions, but Kawakami has no choice but to test the drugs on himself, so he can only isolate the factors that make him unable to control his emotions first.
In fact, after Isori Hondo, the idea of dissolving the partnership came to Kawakami's mind from time to time. The lessons learned from the past are still there. Scotland's understanding of him has exceeded the boundaries between colleagues.
"Then you may be disappointed. There are not many new people in the Japanese branch recently." The gentleman said.
It's not that such a large organization is in an embarrassing situation of being out of work; it's because the mobility of high-level code personnel is actually not very high.
At present, the senior personnel of the Japanese branch have entered a relatively saturated stage. In this case, potential peripheral members are more inclined to distinguish themselves in other countries.
Why is it said to be relatively saturated? In fact, Gin always complained that he was short of people there, but if he really wanted to leave new people to him, he might be used as cannon fodder and die after just a few missions.
This is a bit wasteful. He would be left to others to practice for a few years, and it would not be too late to transfer him back to Japan after getting his code name.
"There will always be new people, and our organization will always be able to attract the best talents." Kawakami licked his lips and glanced at the bowl of instant noodles.
"Indeed, talents from any camp will be attracted - if you are hungry, you can chat while eating. There is no need to be so reserved in front of me." The gentleman noticed Kawakami Tsumugi's movements.
Kawakami took up the bowl of instant noodles smoothly and took another mouthful of instant noodles. The red soup base is disgusting. He was thinking about how to respond to that gentleman.
"Although I have lost interest, my judgment on Scotland is still the same as before. It can be used, but it cannot be reused. Just be a peripheral member with neither high nor low status."
"You avoided my question, Kashasha," said the gentleman.
Kawakami sighed in his heart, knowing that something was unavoidable: "Are you talking about the camp? To be honest, it's like leaving rye whiskey to gin. At least for now, Scotland has no problem. "
"It's rare to see you uncertain." The gentleman said, "Or is it the same as Mr. Ethan?"
The problem is getting more and more acute, but in the case of Armagnac, Kawakami knew he was wrong. As for Scotland...
"The organization follows the principle of acquittal, sir." Tsumugi Kawakami whispered, "In this case, as long as there is no evidence of betrayal, there is no betrayal."
This is also one of Kawakami's codes of conduct. As long as the general direction is good, he is sure that his small actions in private will not be caught by the organization.
Fortunately, the gentleman stopped talking about this topic, and then they chatted a little more about daily life, including the latest collective mission report handed in by Kawakami Tsumugi.
Half an hour later, the camera's red light finally went out.
Kawakami heaved a sigh of relief. While chatting, evidence that could prove that he was causing trouble - a tube of the latest version of the anti-C750 confession was pressed into his sleeve.
He picked up the instant noodles on the side, resisted the desire to pick out the lemon candy in the instant noodles, and threw the soup and water directly into the trash can.
…………
Scotland didn't know why he was angry, but it was a bit too much for Kawakami to throw a big move without saying a word. With this anger that he could not vent, he joined Gin's action camp.
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
As Kawakami Tsumugi said, breaking up the partnership is actually beneficial to him.
Scotland has better room for development within the organization, and has the opportunity to obtain more intelligence, and even... this means that he has gained further trust from the organization.
The word "trust" is a bit ironic.
Because trust was built on the fact that Tsumugi Kawakami did not report his anomalies to the organization, Kawakami Tsumugi was one of the most perceptive people he had ever met. Scotland no longer bothered to think about how many flaws he had exposed in front of his partner.
Chianti and Cohen warmly welcomed his new resident sniper, although Chianti said unabashedly that she would rather have Kashasha return so that there would be more variety in daily life.
Rye Whiskey said hello calmly after the mission:
"It's nice to see you again, Scotland. Not with Kashasha anymore?"
Rye's purpose in asking him about Kawakami Tsumugi was obvious, and Scotland only gave a vague answer: "Maybe."
Rye whiskey narrowed his eyes:
"As far as I know, Kashasha rarely lets go of people he finds suspicious, just like Armagnac who was killed before."
The codename Armagnac attracted Scotland's attention. With a smile on his face, he responded to Rye Whiskey calmly: "Doubting the loyalty of members when you meet them...is this your unique way of welcoming?"
Looking for information about Armagnac from Rye Whiskey was obviously not feasible. When the Whiskey trio was together, Scotland already knew that Morohoshi was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Just then another person intervened in their conversation:
"What are you talking about?"
It was Chianti, this woman with short orange hair and the excitement of killing people. She had no scruples to break the somewhat stagnant atmosphere between Scotland and rye. Next to him was Cohen, who was wandering around.
"We were just talking about our former colleague Armagnac. Unfortunately, he seems to be an undercover agent?"
Scotland said before Rye Whiskey spoke.
"He was killed by Kashasha himself, didn't you know?" Chianti raised his eyebrows in surprise, "He was still ahead of Gin, but he made Gin very angry."
"To make Gin angry... does seem like something Kashasha would do." Scotland was subtly distorting the point.
"Yes, he loves it," Chianti agreed.
