Chapter 3: He can’t solve the case
Hello everyone, my name is Natsume Natsuki. I am twenty years old. I have just returned from the United States less than half a year ago. I live in the Tokyo area. I am unmarried and have no boyfriend, but I have a male guardian. We both worked for an international crime organization codenamed Liquor. I don't care what my guardian thinks. I work no more than eight hours a day and I absolutely refuse to work any more.
I don't smoke, and I only drink lightly and never get drunk. The sleeping time at night is irregular, but you must ensure that you sleep for 10 hours every day. I usually take certain sleeping pills before going to bed, and then sleep soundly until dawn. I don't see a doctor because I know how to heal myself. I think I'm normal, at least more normal than O and O's shadow. Although I also yearn for a peaceful life.
Even now, my life is far from peaceful, but it doesn't matter, I have my wisdom!
After I said that, I looked at him quietly, trying to express my innocence.
After the silver-haired young man stared at me for a moment, he looked away with a sullen face, a hint of impatience on his face, but he didn't take out his hand and push me away.
He didn't seem willing to stay with me, but he didn't allow me to stay too far away from him. When I was a child, I ran away from home unhappy because he scolded me. In the end, I was found and carried home by him - —Although he still scolded me with his eyes after that, his words were no longer too aggressive.
I showed a confused smile on the side, then looked towards the vodka, signaling with my eyes - look! I said it!
Vodka: "..."
Vodka once again showed a hesitant expression, but he didn't seem to want to get involved, and instead hurriedly got in the car and got ready to drive.
Although he looked like he wished he was under the car.
I'm not convinced by the adamant denial of vodka - what's up! After all, she is a beautiful girl who is ranked among the best in the organization! I have such a cute personality and such a funny personality! Look at my code name, it proves that I am recognized by BOSS as cute!
Aren’t cute looks and an interesting soul a double kill? ! Ignorant stuff!
Because of the accident in the laboratory this morning, I have naturally been unable to go to the laboratory recently.
And Boss Gin had no intention of keeping me with him forever, so he just dropped me off at the intersection after the mission was over.
I didn’t mind either. I waved to the black Porsche that started to leave after I got off the car, and shouted loudly: “Go home early——!”
Yes, just go home.
Because we two live together.
So why are you hiding? You will come back to me sooner or later, hey.
I first went to the French restaurant I had made a reservation to have a meal, thanked the chef, and then went shopping to appease my frightened little heart today. Then I took a taxi back home and started working seriously.
The commotion in the laboratory seemed to be an accident, but since that person had access to a gun and knew how to kidnap me, who had just been in the laboratory for less than a week, there must be a reason.
Of course, I will not step forward to be the interrogator. I am not professional. And it’s very troublesome.
So I decisively left it to the person who was responsible and made a phone call: "...That's about it, so I'll leave this matter to you, Ireland."
[Yes, yes...but why are you looking for me? Aren't you looking for gin? 】
"What kind of model worker is Boss Gin? Do you have to do so much work? It's very tiring for him to save me. I will feel bad if I bother him again." After I finished speaking, I paused and my tone became solemn. "And if he takes action, everyone in that research institute will probably be wiped out. I think even though our organization is rich and powerful, we can't afford to be in such trouble."
[…] The person on the other end of the phone stopped talking, probably thinking that what I said made sense. I just don’t know if I was silent because of the first half or the second half of what I said.
"That research institute is also on Pisk's territory. As Pisk's adopted son, is it normal for you to do this?" I reminded him.
【I see. ] The other party responded obligingly and brought up another matter, [So when you come back this time, you are going to use that fake identity? 】
I responded lazily: "Well, my real identity is not suitable for public activities at least now. Please help me operate that identity. It may be used later."
The false identity Ireland mentioned was the one I used when I first returned to Japan three years ago, and my name was [Moyama Nana]. She is the adopted daughter of Pisk, and NaNa is the abbreviation of my name, Natsume Natsuki.
Pisk's name is Kenzo Masuyama, and he is the chairman of a car company... Of course, he got to where he is today through organization.
And if I wanted to come up with a fake identity that could be reused and withstand investigation, I naturally had to rely on my own people to make the disguise, and the procedures had to be complete, so I made up a half-true and half-false identity - when I was 6 years old I settled in the United States with my parents. Later, my parents died in a plane accident and the guardianship fell to my distant relative, Kenzo Masayama, so I returned to Japan to attend high school.
After one year of high school, this vest planned to study in the United States, and I changed my identity to work on projects in the graduate school. Currently I am responsible for the program.
After successfully outsourcing the task, I checked my mailbox again, stretched myself, and went to take a shower.
After taking a shower and blow-drying my hair, I sat at the table in the living room with my hair down and wore blue light glasses, typing on my laptop.
The gin boss came back just when I was about to finish this week's lab report.
I pressed enter, turned to look at him, and said hello: "Azhen, you're back! I've made coffee for you, you can drink it directly."
This Ah Zhen is calling him.
Because the real name of the Gin boss is Kurosawa Jin.
The other party glanced at me and didn't react to the greeting. He went to get coffee, then sat on the sofa and frowned slightly: "What nonsense are you wearing?"
"Huh? Are you referring to this?" I lowered my head and pulled off the T-shirt I was wearing. It read "KGB is for me" (I am the KGB). It’s a T-shirt I ordered not long ago, and I’m wearing it for the first time today.
"Azhen, you know, I'm a fan of the KGB." I raised my hand to adjust my glasses, "You've seen the KGB badges I collected before, right?"
Probably remembering what happened in the past, the silver-haired young man's expression became even more ugly, but he didn't say anything more.
After finishing my work, I closed my notebook, took off my glasses and put them on the table. I ran over and sat down on the sofa, squeezed in next to him, and then... reached out and grabbed his hand. With long hair, I began to braid and play silently.
"...Natsume Natsuki, are you provoking me and testing my bottom line again and again?" Boss Gin's voice was gloomy and without any warmth.
But there wasn’t much anger. After all, as the number of such occasions increases, people's thresholds also rise. After so many years, he should have gotten used to me playing like this.
"No, people clearly know where your bottom line is. Look, over the years, I haven't done anything that you think is absolutely unforgivable, right?" I said with an upright look on my face, and then my eyes widened. He looked over with innocent eyes and a sincere tone, "Because you've been unhappy lately, Ah Zhen, and people are worried about you, so I've been playing tricks to make you happy again and again. Come on, smile."
"..." The silver-haired young man who looked at me expressionlessly was silent for a moment and then said, "Cocoa wine."
I made a silent gesture towards him, still maintaining the same attitude as before: "I told you to call me by my name when you get home. Work hours and off-duty hours should be separated. Isn't it for confidentiality that we use code names? Then there are no secrets between us, so using codenames feels very tacky, which is a bit embarrassing."
The Gin boss didn't say anything and looked like he wanted to hit me, but he held back and finally compromised again: "Natsume Natsuki."
I then raised my smile and tilted my head to look at him: "What's the matter?"
The gin boss reached out and grabbed my chin, stared at me expressionlessly, and said word by word: "How can you become more obedient?"
The opponent's force was a bit heavy, and there was a slight pain in the lower jaw. But I knew he wouldn't hurt me, so I didn't take it too seriously.
Listening to what the other party said, I was speechless for a moment, and my eyes widened a little - what? ! Aren’t I already very obedient? Compared to my attitude towards other people, this is already super considerate! What else is there to be dissatisfied with!
It's the gin boss who is too greedy and can't be tolerated.
With this thought in mind, I stretched out my hands to grab the other person's hand that was pinching my chin. I lifted my chin to free it. Then I lowered my head and kissed the hand I was holding. Then I looked up with red eyes, revealing a sincere look and a very sincere tone. : "But I was born with a rebellious streak."
The other party obviously didn't care about my obvious gag. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and took out his hand, but he didn't take it back. Instead, he reached out and pressed the back of my head forward with force. Unprepared, I fell forward and pressed my hands on the other person's chest.
I'm not a slow person. On the contrary, I am quite perceptive. Therefore, from the other party's aggressive movements and appraising eyes, I immediately sensed something in this somewhat dangerous atmosphere.
But I didn't mean to avoid it. After being stunned for a moment, I reacted. My eyes lit up and I got closer. I even stretched out my hands to wrap my arms around the other person's neck. I was almost sitting in the other person's arms, with an eager expression on my face. .
Then, I watched the other person's expression instantly put away the aggressiveness and became the same as usual. He raised his hand and put his hand on my shoulder in the opposite direction, pushing me away from his arms.
I was stunned for a moment, and did not do anything else. Instead, I left the other party's arms and complained with a little dissatisfaction: "Hey - what did they think would happen?"
"Go to sleep." Boss Gin said expressionlessly.
I snorted secretly, then yawned, and obediently stood up and walked to my room: "Azhen, you are so willful... Good night then!"
After walking to the door of the room, I pressed on the door handle, paused for a moment, and turned to look over. The silver-haired young man sitting on the sofa had a momentary irritation on his face, but when he noticed my gaze, he put it away and looked over with a questioning look.
I smiled sweetly at the person, opened the door, walked into my room, and closed the door. He leaned back against the door and let out a long sigh.
Hmm... after today's testing, it feels like the range of possibilities has narrowed a bit.
I raised my hand and touched my chin, thinking deeply - this was either a secret that was beyond common sense, or... he just couldn't do it.
