After breakfast, Kawakami slowly huddled on the bed in his room, playing with his mobile phone while discussing the plan about rye with the Mad Hatter.
After the plan was initially drawn up, but before it could be implemented, Scotland knocked on his door.
"What's wrong, Scotland?" Kawakami asked lazily.
Although before asking the question, Kawakami already knew what happened: Scotland had put on his guitar bag and put on a black jacket over his blue sweatshirt.
This member of the organization with blue cat eyes was fully dressed and his eyes were cold and serious - in contrast to the gray-haired young man who was still wearing a pair of slippers and was standing in a rather unfocused manner.
"We have a mission, prepare for it, we will set off in five minutes. You will be responsible for assisting this time, just bring your computer." Scotland's answer was as expected by Kawakami.
"Even so... why didn't Gin notify me that I had a mission?" Kawakami asked softly.
Through his glasses, the gray-haired young man's black eyes without highlights had narrowed.
Although he expected a mission, Kawakami was still a little surprised that Scotland knew about it before he did. Before losing his memory, when he partnered with Scotland, it was Kawakami Kei who was always in charge of liaising with Gin, so he always knew about the organization's plans before Scotland.
So now the person who liaises with the superiors and coordinates the plan becomes Scotland? Why?
Gee, does Gin bother him that much?
And there is a big question, why is he in charge of support? Although the close combat may be inferior, Kawakami's sniper ability should be better than that of Scotland... Even if this mission requires computer assistance, it is something that Kawakami can handle alone.
"Ah, there are still three minutes." Scotland did not answer the question, but looked at the phone, and then gently reminded Kawakami, "Why don't you pack your things first and we can talk about it on the way?"
"That is to say...you are responsible for this mission?" Kawakami confirmed again.
"That's right, is there any problem?" Scotland still wore the same smile as Kashasha before.
The gray-haired young man said nothing.
Scotland watched his partner take a half step back, his whole body tensed up, and looked him up and down with a sharp and objective look through his gold-rimmed glasses, even lingering a little longer on his vital parts.
Although there is no murderous intention, there is a strong sense of threat.
For some reason, this reminded Scotland of wild cats fighting on the roadside. When they are fuming, they always calmly and carefully assess the fighting strength of both parties before really showing off their claws.
In the end, Kawakami seemed to come to the conclusion that it was not appropriate to fall out for the time being, because he adjusted his glasses and said slowly: "There is no problem for the time being, let's go."
"Okay." Scotland replied cheerfully.
Even though he was just holding a computer, Tsumugi Kawakami closed the door, not giving Scotland the slightest chance to observe the layout of his room.
Scotland, who was shut out, thought for a while, because it was obvious that Kawakami Tsumugi was particularly concerned about who he should listen to when performing tasks...
And at least now, the status between them seems to be subtly reversed.
In fact, Gin had a purpose for leaving the docking task to Scotland, and Nausea Kashasha may only account for a small part of it.
Thinking of the target of this mission, Scotland's eyes darkened under his smiling mask.
…………
Tsumugi Kawakami was actually a little curious about what would happen if he had been in a stalemate with Scotland there, but after all, he was an employee of the winery, and he was doing his job in his position, so he couldn't bring his personal emotions into the task.
Besides, if he really wanted to settle the score, he should look for Gin instead of Scotland.
And this guy from Scotland... tsk.
If there is a mission, don't disclose it in advance, and then tell him one or two hours before it is to be carried out. In this way, in theory, Kawakami will not have enough time to plan the mission, and then it is logical that he can only listen to Scotland's arrangements——
As for why Kawakami Tsumugi is so familiar with this?
Because Kawakami Tsumugi used this method to deal with Scotland before, firstly to train Scotland's adaptability, and secondly to prevent too much information from being leaked to undercover agents.
And Scotland used this trick on him again. It's hard to say it wasn't intentional.
Thinking of this, Kawakami glanced at Scotland quietly. The latter did not pay attention to him, but was driving intently.
After staring for five seconds, Kawakami turned on his computer.
Although he was a little unhappy about playing the auxiliary position in the mission, the gray-haired young man quickly got into work mode. He sat in the passenger seat, put his laptop on his lap, and quickly hacked into the traffic system and started checking nearby surveillance cameras.
"Tsk, the surveillance of this traffic system is like no security. The coverage is so small that I don't even want to say anything..." Kawakami couldn't help but complained in a low voice, "It makes me want to give the police some money to click on more cameras. It’s very convenient for us to do business.”
Scotland chuckled, seemingly amused by Kawakami, and asked, "Can you determine the location?"
"Wait a minute... I have adjusted the frequency of the traffic lights. If nothing happens, it will cause a jam at the intersection where the target will pass in five to six minutes."
Kawakami said lazily, eating a lemon candy by the way.
The task assigned to him by Scotland was to control the route to the mission target, which Kawakami did very well.
"At this time they will choose another route, and then they will encounter road construction again, and then the mission target will turn left at the next intersection... So we only need to turn around and find a good position to set up the sniper rifle in a suitable place. ”
"good."
Scotland nodded, and then without hesitation turned around as Kawakami said, heading in a direction that seemed completely opposite to their mission goal, without any doubt——
I have to say that this gave Kawakami a hairpin to some extent.
Unless it is a large-scale multiplayer mission arranged by Gin, Kawakami is almost obsessive-compulsive in wanting to take complete control of things and make his teammates follow his plan.
When working with bourbon or rye before, Kawakami just changed the plan to what he wanted according to his own temper.
As for Scotland…
Although Tsumugi Kawakami actually wanted to act like a monster in the mission, Scotland still had his own way of thinking after being led by him for a year, and the plan he came up with could not be faulted by Kawakami Tsumugi... Moreover, after thinking carefully, he still agreed with him. Kashasha, who was not acquainted with his colleagues, should not have acted so recklessly.
So let’s not cause trouble with Scotland this time... Kawakami Tsumugi ate another lemon candy.
After driving for five minutes, Scotland stopped the car and put on his guitar bag. Kawakami knew that he had chosen a sniper point, and then they went up to the rooftop. In the cold wind, the bustling city became smaller.
Kawakami Tsumugi smoothed his gray hair that was blown by the wind with his hands, and then shrank his neck and raised the collar. Although the windbreaker was thin, the circle of warmers inside was enough to resist the cold.
He found a spot out of the wind and idly ate lemon candies.
Because sniping is Scotland's job.
After Scotland hurriedly set up a sniper position, Kawakami Shicai lay quietly next to the opponent, acting as an observer - even though he was an observer, he only held a scope and played with it up and down.
"Don't break my backup scope." Scotland said helplessly.
"I'll apologize if it's damaged." Tsumugi Kawakami pretended to look into the distance through the glass of the scope, "Concentrate on Scotland, the target is already here."
