Chapter 7: A substitute must be found.
After I returned to my room, I lay on the bed and thought about it and felt something was wrong - what happened?
The gin boss definitely didn't mention Belmod for no reason...but Belmod hasn't been in Japan recently either. When I returned to Japan, she was the one who saw me off at the airport.
Speaking of missions...there haven't been any problems that require Belmod to take action recently, right? If you really need help with disguises, acting, or pretending to be someone to prove your alibi, I'm still here, and I've been quite free lately...
When you can't figure it out yourself, you should be good at finding outside help.
I thought about it, got up and called my standard foreign aid: "Hello? Vodka?"
Probably because there have been many similar situations, Vodka became alert before I asked, and was the first to conclude: [I don’t know anything! 】
"...It's so obvious that you are guilty." I sighed, "Is it really okay? Vodka? I feel like you will vomit all the organization's secrets as soon as you are caught."
【Don’t curse me. ] Vodka complained, [Also, cocoa wine... I've wanted to ask before, do you have any objections to me? 】
"No, I don't have that big a problem with you."
[...After you came back, my sunglasses changed much more frequently. 】
"Those are just small pranks, a sign of our good relationship! Otherwise, why would I only play pranks on you and not others? Are you right?"
After Vodka was silent for a long time, he said quietly: [Is this the PUA method you mentioned before? 】
"I told you so many useful little things, why did you only remember this useless one?" I complained, and explained kindly, "I seriously think you are very good. You are very important to me." It is also a necessary existence. The relationship between me and Boss Gin is just right for you, but it would be too crowded if it were someone else."
[I don’t think this is a compliment at all, right? 】
"Really? You're overthinking it." I said perfunctorily, "So, did you and Boss Gin mention me today? What did you say? Why was Belmod involved?"
Although Vodka was reluctant to say it, I knew him too well, and he was not a man with a deep city who could hide things. I still learned of Boss Gin’s plan through coercion and inducement.
"Do you want to throw me to Shirley's research institute..." After I hung up the phone, I couldn't help but frown, showing a hint of unhappiness.
It's not that I don't like Shirley, Shirley and I have a good relationship. After all, we studied together in the United States, and I also know her sister.
Shirley’s real name is Miyano Shiho. She is seven years younger than me. I have met her since she was in her mother’s womb. At that time, when her parents and the Miyano couple first joined the organization, my parents followed the BOSS's order to meet with the Miyano couple to find out more about it. After all, we are a husband and wife team of research-oriented talents, and we also have a family. The Miyano couple’s eldest daughter is the same age as me. A similar combination like ours is the easiest to establish a relationship with when we first meet.
Shirley's sister, Miyano Akemi, is a cheerful little girl and a very nice person. Even though I had a bit of a weird temper when I was a child, she didn't mind and just treated me like an ordinary person and pulled me to play with her.
Then, that same year, my parents were killed in a car accident. After that, I was trained in many places, and finally fell into the hands of the gin boss... Oh no, I was cheap gin boss.
Not long after, Mr. and Mrs. Miyano also died unexpectedly in a fire. It wasn’t until Shirley was discovered by the organization that she had inherited her parents’ talents and was sent to the United States to study abroad that we officially became acquainted.
Of course, although our circumstances may appear to be the same, we are actually quite different.
My parents have been around for a longer time, and they have long known what kind of place the organization is. They were the leader of a certain scientific research project in the past, but later because of my performance and the fact that I followed the gin boss all the time, ...The BOSS has never doubted the loyalty of the Gin boss. I think he also has some love for the house and the bird. I think that as a child who has been around the Gin boss for so long and is still alive, and is the second generation of the organization, my loyalty level is not necessary. Doubt - This also leads to the fact that I actually have a high degree of freedom. Except for the orders from the BOSS, I can ignore them if I don't want to do them.
Of course, there are very few people who can't think of anything and just give me orders.
You must know that the last person who couldn't be thought of was already destroyed by the gin boss, and there were no consequences;
Rum, who couldn't think of it at first, was already bald and had given up;
The only person who can't think about it now and is still struggling may be the Gin boss himself.
But Miyano Shiho is different - there are still many doubts about the death of the Miyano couple, the fire destroyed most of the information, and there seems to be some shadow of other forces behind it.
Judging from the mysterious fire in the Miyano couple's laboratory, the fact that Miyano Akemi is still under surveillance, and the attitude that Bellmode occasionally showed towards the Miyano family, it seems that the organization will completely trust this family. mean.
When I went to the United States to connect with Miyano Shiho, BOSS also wanted me to observe and evaluate.
Thinking of this, I called Shirley: "Hello, Shiho-chan?"
[I told you, don’t call me that. 】The girl's immature voice had a calmness that was inappropriate for her age, "What's wrong?" 】
"You came back a month earlier than me, right? Have you started working on the work at hand now?" I asked with a smile, "Is it the research left behind by your parents?"
【Um. ] Miyano Shiho responded calmly, [It is a new drug developed, called APTX4869. I am still in the familiar stage. Are you suddenly interested in this? 】
"No, just asking." I sighed and changed the subject: "Have you gotten used to the new institute? Also, how is Mingmei?"
[She is very nice and has a boyfriend. 】
"Hey - that's good." I said casually, "She is your sister after all. If her boyfriend cheats on her, we can directly ask the people in the organization to take revenge without any psychological baggage. This is also a rare organizational benefit. Oh~! How about it, it’s a very good benefit for girls, right?”
[Can’t you think of something good? ] Miyano Shiho's voice was mixed with a hint of depression, and then he said, [Speaking of which, sister wants to treat us to a meal and introduce her boyfriend to us. Do you have time? 】
"Huh? I'm quite free recently. Just tell me directly if you decide on a time."
I asked about the situation in the other party's laboratory again, and after chatting for a while, I hung up. The originally smiling expression suddenly fell down - Damn it, drug research is not my major! Are you serious about throwing me over? ! Boss Gin just wants to keep me away and don't want to see me! What does this man mean?
I didn't fall asleep. Instead, I became more and more angry after thinking about it. I sat up suddenly, put on my Strawberry Bear slippers, and walked out with heavy steps.
The boss of Gin is no longer in the living room, but standing on the balcony smoking - it's not that he is so used to not smoking at home, it's just that I don't like the smell of smoke at home, so I modified the smoke alarm in the living room to increase the sensitivity. , leaving him unable to smoke at home.
He was quite angry, but finally gave in. Because he didn't know how to modify the alarm back.
I didn't go to the balcony, I just stood at the door. The coolness brought by the night breeze cooled down my face that was originally a little hot due to the effect of alcohol. It will feel a little cold if you don't wear a jacket.
Of course, if I go back and put on my coat now, I will lose in terms of momentum.
I half-closed the door that was originally open, and kept pulling at the door frame with both hands. I looked at the silver-haired young man on the balcony who looked at me with questioning eyes, and shouted unhappily: "Why? You want to throw me out so soon? We have just ended our two-year separation! If I go to Shirley's place, I won't be able to go home every day!"
"Put away this pretentious look!" Boss Gin frowned and commented unceremoniously in a cold tone, "This is not your home either."
...What are you talking about this person! Do you think this is still your home after I invaded? ! Open your eyes and take a look. Most of this home is my stuff, I have modified all the appliances, and my room is still the master bedroom! There’s even a Snoopy doll on the couch that I caught in the claw machine yesterday!
I stared at him, pursed my lips, and remained silent, reflecting an attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation.
Every time my life is in danger, Boss Gin will rush to save me...and, just like telepathy, he can always know in time. But I could tell when I was following him. Although the organization's intelligence system was okay, it was not that sensitive and sophisticated... How did Boss Gin know?
And on the one hand, he will never put me in danger, and on the other hand, he doesn’t want me to stay with him for too long...
Although I had vowed before that this was true love that he himself was very resistant to... But it was also because I had been with him all the time. I knew very well that I was not a love brain, my insight was not weak, and I didn't really have no idea.
Just really have no clue and can't think of a reasonable explanation. Even unreasonable explanations are hard to come up with.
I opened my mouth and hesitated for a moment. I don’t know if it was because of the effect of alcohol tonight. I had thought about the question many times before but had not said it out loud. At this moment, I said it: "Ah Zhen, why do you always show up to me?" Come to save me when I'm in danger?"
"..." Boss Gin looked up and said in a calm tone, "That's because I haven't figured out a way to successfully kill you yet."
I calmed down, lowered my head slightly, pursed my lips and said nothing.
The other person's tone was quite serious, and based on my understanding of him, I could tell that he was telling the truth.
I just kept my head bowed and asked in a long tone: "Hey - Boss Gin, you are so cold. What do you think of me?"
Regarding my question, the other party responded calmly and quickly: "It's a burden."
Well...how to put it, it's not that I'm not mentally prepared. If you want to act stupid, you can actually do it, just like before.
As long as I continue to act stupid as before and ignore all the weird things, I can still live happily under the other person's protection.
but……
"That is to say..." I walked to the balcony, raised my head and looked at him, and said seriously, "It doesn't matter if I like other people, right?"
The other person raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised. But he didn't mean to take it seriously at all. He seemed to have a rare improvement in his mood. He curled up the corner of his mouth and sneered. His attitude was contemptuous and a little perfunctory: "You can't ask for it."
I looked at him expressionlessly. After a few seconds, I kicked his calf quickly, then turned around and ran into my room quickly.
After closing the door, I still felt that I was getting more and more angry. I opened the door and shouted towards the balcony: "Stop looking down on people! Just wait and see! I will definitely find it in three days... no, two days." Your replacement!”
