Chapter 9: It can’t be that blunt
I knew Miyano Akemi earlier, but I have a good relationship with Miyano Shiho.
It's normal. Although Miyano Akemi and I were the same age and met once when we were six years old, we never met more than ten times in total. It was because I got to know Miyano Shiho when I went to study in the United States. Reconnect with the other person.
Then, because I move more freely than Miyano Shiho, and Miyano Akemi is not my sister, I met Miyano Akemi more than Miyano Shiho did.
But I was quite surprised that she had a boyfriend.
Although Miyano Akemi does not have outstanding research talents like Miyano Shiho and lives an ordinary life, she is still under the supervision of the organization... In other words, this behavior is recognized by the organization or even Laissez-faire?
I kept a smile on my face and my eyes fell on the person next to Miyano Akemi.
The other party is quite tall. Miyano Shiho just mentioned that the similarity between the other party and the Gin boss is mainly due to visual intuition - the Gin boss is 189cm tall, and the person in front of him seems to be about the same height.
Then the second similarity is the hair - the Gin boss has long hair that reaches his waist, and this one is similar.
And this Morohoshi Dai also has a long face and high cheekbones. Judging from the outline of his facial features and eyes, he should be of European ancestry... is he of mixed race?
If you really start looking for similarities, you will indeed feel a bit familiar at first glance.
If it weren't for the fact that this is Akemi's boyfriend, and I vowed to find a replacement for Boss Gin to see, only Boss Gin and Miyano Shiho, who was just informed, knew about this, I would have suspected that this was targeting the organization. The immortal who wanted to attack me jumped.
Ah, it might also be the method that Boss Gin came up with to save the country in a curved way to get rid of me.
"Hello, I'm Natsume Natsuki." I greeted with a smile and took the arm of Miyano Shiho who was standing beside me.
I don't mean anything else, I just want to hold my hand.
Perhaps because this "brother-in-law" was a little different from what I imagined, Miyano Shiho didn't take my hand away as his attention was not on me, but said hello lightly: "Hello, I am Miyano Shiho."
Although the beginning is a little awkward, as long as the other party doesn't know that we are embarrassed, we can treat it as if the embarrassment does not exist.
Miyano Akemi is still very considerate, and it seems that she is here just to introduce us. The interaction between her and her boyfriend is not bad, at least on the surface there is no problem.
Miyano Shiho and I acted as dutiful backgrounds to reduce our presence.
Shiho is habitually cold towards people he doesn't know well, but I was simply hungry and wanted to eat.
However, this man who calls himself Morohoshi Dai managed the situation quite well and even talked to us during the process.
"I heard Akemi say that Shiho works in the research institute? Is Ms. Natsume also a colleague of Shiho?"
Although he called Shiho by his first name when they first met, considering his status and the fact that little Shiho is indeed several years away from adulthood and is of an age where elders can call him by his first name, this is not too close. .
To this question I answered: "Sort of."
Miyano Akemi smiled and added: "Natsuki and Shiho studied abroad together, and Natsuki is also very good."
I quietly pushed the carrots on the plate to the side, raised my head when I heard this, and said with a righteous look on my face: "That's right, please call me doctor."
Zhuxing's eyes widened in surprise: "Is he a doctor..."
I said without changing my expression: "Another kind of doctor."
Morohoshida: "That's pretty awesome, after all, you're only this age."
I nodded: "Well, because I am a genius."
Morohoshida: "...Well, yes."
Overall, this meal was quite normal. I wonder if it was because of the eldest person present, but Moro Hoshida himself was trying to calm the atmosphere.
I feel that there is a slight violation, but the other party was brought here by Miyano Akemi. The Miyanos and his wife are not here. Shiho and I are Akemi’s only remaining relatives. Shiho is a relative, and I am the incidental affiliate... In this way It's natural to want to please my mother's family, so I temporarily ignored the feeling of disobedience.
But...there is no problem with attitude, but there are more other problems.
"What about you, Morohoshi-kun? What do you do?"
"I used to run a small business by myself, but now I am looking for a new job." The other party answered in a calm tone, and looked at Miyano Akemi beside him with a gentle look, "Because I am dating Akemi, I also feel that It can be stabilized.”
"Hey..." I drawled my tone, keeping a friendly smile on my face, and couldn't help showing a hint of estimation in my eyes.
His dominant hand is his left hand, his manner of speaking is impeccable, and he seems to have a good relationship with Mingmei. At least Mingmei seems to be in love... Is it just an accident? But occasionally, there will be a deliberate feeling...
Forget it, Mingmei herself is not a naive person. She still has basic insights. Even if there is a problem, it is her trouble. The most I can do is wait and remind Shiho.
After making up my mind, I withdrew my probing gaze and ended the meal as if nothing had happened.
"I will send Shiho back to the institute later, Akemi, you don't have to worry." Before leaving, out of temptation, I extended my left hand to Morohoshi, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Morohoshi. "
Zhu Xingda subconsciously stretched out his left hand, but when he raised it slightly, he paused and took it back. Instead, he stretched out his right hand and shook it lightly, with a polite smile on his face: "Nice to meet you. you."
...Although I knew there was a ghost, it was so obvious that it was difficult for me to just pretend to ignore it.
So I calmly... stretched out my other hand: "Shake that hand too."
Miyano Shiho on the side frowned and cast a questioning look at me.
I turned to look at her and started to make up: "A mysterious divination ritual that I saw before."
Miyano Shiho twitched the corner of his mouth and gave me a look that said, "Just make it up." He looked at the hesitant black-haired man opposite and said calmly: "Just follow her, she has a mental age of only three years old. "
I showed a disapproving expression: "Hey!"
Miyano Shiho: "Five years old."
Me: "Fine."
Zhu Xingda: "..."
The smile on Morohoshi's face froze for a moment, while Miyano Akemi on the side looked a little worried...looked at her boyfriend, and whispered back: "Just do it."
Moro Hoshida couldn't help but glance at his girlfriend, and then looked at me again. This time he finally stretched out his left hand to shake her openly.
The moment my hands clasped together, I suddenly felt familiar - the location of the callus on the other person's hand was most likely a gun callus.
What a coincidence, the gin boss is also left-handed.
...This is really not a game set up against me, is it?
No, thinking about it carefully, the possibility of targeting the Miyano sisters is higher, so I should be overly worried.
I let go of my hand and took it back, giving the person a fake smile.
So... based on what the other party said at dinner, is this guy previously engaged in a job similar to a private scavenger, and now he stopped hiding it because of Mingmei's love, or does he have another purpose?
Forget it, it probably has nothing to do with me.
"So... do you think there's a problem with that man?" On the way back slowly, Miyano Shiho, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
"Well...it's hard to evaluate." I put my hands in my coat pockets, withdrew my gaze and looked forward, "Let's take another look. Anyway, the people from the intelligence team will be responsible, and it's none of our business."
Miyano Shiho was silent for a moment, and suddenly a hint of doubt appeared on his face: "But Cocoa, aren't you also from the intelligence team?"
me."
Oops, I've been idle for so long that I almost forgot.
***
It was an unexpected surprise. ——Zhu Xingda thought.
The real name of Morohoshi is not Morohoshi, but Shuichi Akai. His identity is an FBI investigator, and his goal is to get close to Miyano Akemi two months ago. The FBI had previously investigated the existence of Miyano Shiho in the United States, and thus discovered Miyano Akemi. It wanted to use this line to get close to Miyano Shiho, who had a certain status in the organization, so as to achieve the purpose of entering the organization undercover.
However... Akai Shuichi did not expect that someone else would appear when he met Miyano Shiho for the first time.
Because Miyano Akemi mentioned that Natsume Natsuki only said they were friends, he didn't think about the organization at first - after all, he had already discovered during the period of investigating Miyano Akemi and dating her. Although Miyano Akemi She is being monitored by the organization, but that is because of her sister. She does not participate in any organization's actions, but lives like an ordinary person. This is why he used this as a breakthrough.
In this way, he will naturally not preconceptions that the other party's friends are members of the organization.
But... the probing and secret sizing of Natsume Natsuki who appeared today made him have some guesses about his identity.
This kind of sensitivity, vigilance and suspicion are more in line with the image of the organization than Miyano Shiho on the side.
Akai Shuichi also knew that Miyano Shiho was a researcher. What he originally wanted to do was to use his contacts to get to know other people in the organization and then show off his talents and ambitions to get in.
I didn’t expect that things would go so smoothly and that half the battle would be won so quickly…
Just when Akai Shuichi was thinking about how to get more information about Natsume Natsuki from his girlfriend without appearing to have misunderstood her, Miyano Akemi took her mobile phone to check the new information she had received. email, I accidentally laughed out loud.
Akai Shuichi discovered the clue, looked at her and smiled: "What do you see so interesting?"
"Huh? No, it's nothing..." Miyano Akemi put away her mobile phone, coughed twice, and laughed, "It's just a funny email."
"Can you tell me?"
"You can't understand the point of this joke." Miyano Akemi waved her hand, "It was sent by Natsuki. Her sense of humor is rather strange."
Akai Shuichi did not ask further questions.
Of course, this was just a matter of listening, and it showed that he would not let go of the problematic situation.
That night, he quietly checked Miyano Akemi's mobile phone and restored her recently deleted emails. For the ace FBI who has certain hacking skills and is not bad at it, he still has this skill.
only……
[form Natsuki: I think you should change it. It's not aimed at you, but just look at it. Your family didn't have much success in starting their own business before. Now they are unemployed. They have many calluses on their hands and they still work hard. But they want to hide it from you and prevent you from discovering it. Even at their age I am almost 30 years old and I don’t even try to find a job if I don’t have one. At first glance, I look like the type of person who just wants to make ends meet! And he actually found a female college student! You know what kind of mentality people in society have when looking for female college students! You must be more discerning! 】
Akai Shuichi: "..." He is only twenty-seven years old, okay!
He read the next email in silence.
[form Natsuki: Oh, and, look, Shiho is working in the research institute when he is only thirteen years old. When your family member heard about it, his first reaction was that he was not employing child labor illegally. He might be an illegal element! 】
Akai Shuichi: "..." This is just looking for trouble! Obviously he is the number one suspect of the illegal elements!
Recalling that Miyano Akemi's reaction to seeing this was that she could hardly hold back her laughter, Akai Shuichi suddenly felt that love might disappear.
He took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and continued to look down.
[from Natsuki: Speaking of which, I was thinking that I couldn’t lose and wanted to make it official with Shiho in front of you, but Shiho vetoed it. Forget it, sister, as long as you know my relationship with Shiho. [sad][cry]]
Akai Shuichi was completely silent now.
He felt that the woman was either a member of the organization and her status was not low, or she was just plain stupid.
Oh, yes, and maybe a lesbian.

the other side------
"Aju——!" After sneezing three times in a row, I raised my head in confusion.
Who is scolding me? Gin boss? But I'm not even in front of him... Oh~ Then he should be thinking of me!
I thought with great confidence, put this matter behind me, and began to think about today's events.
I still reminded Mingmei, albeit in a roundabout way. But the other party replied to me and said not to worry, so it should be fine... Is it because I was influenced by the Gin boss that I think other people are considering it from a suspicious angle?
Mingmei also said that the other person had stayed in the United States before, and it was because of this that she asked about the other person's affairs in the United States and started a conversation. After all, Shiho hadn't returned to China yet, and Akemi wanted to know more about her sister.
Think carefully about the actions and words of the great Zhuxingda today...
"Well, I should be overthinking it." I thought for a moment and showed a relieved expression, "If they are really from the FBI and CIA, they must have been in the United States for many years, and they can't have such a blunt Japanese pronunciation. !Ha ha ha ha!"
I just don’t know if the other person was engaged in the same thing as I imagined... Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is impossible for me to introduce any external talents to the organization anyway. My position is already high enough and I have no ambition. If there is a problem with the talents, it will be easy to be held accountable, so it is better not to do this completely. bump.
But...it's okay to use it secretly to save face.
So, I took out my cell phone and made a call.
"Hello? Vodka? Tell Boss Gin that I'm a genius who does what I say! I've found it!"
