Chapter 10: Why isn’t this considered pampering?
Vodka suddenly heard me say this and seemed confused: [What? 】
"Don't worry about it. You can just convey it to me when you see Boss Gin later." I said it carefully, without caring about his reaction, and hung up the phone.
"Aren't you going to go back today?" Miyano Shiho had already taken off his coat and put on his white coat again. "I want to observe the conditions of the experimental mice tonight, but I don't have time to entertain you."
I looked dissatisfied: "I just finished my cruel words. If I go back directly, wouldn't it look like I lost?"
Miyano Shiho half-opened his eyes: "So - on what basis are you betting on winning or losing?"
"And speaking from experience, he finally succeeded in sending me to a place far away from him, and if anything happens to me, he can get there quickly without wasting his time. He should reward himself with not having to use it for a few days. Go home and deal with me." I commented with a fair face.
Miyano Shiho showed an expression of "I don't understand but I am shocked".
I nodded towards her, confirming her mood: "Yes, we are playing a very new game."
"Then you're great." Miyano Shiho responded perfunctorily, and asked, "Are you considering publishing a book?"
I agreed sincerely: "I will consider it. When I am short of money one day, this is one of my emergency ways to make money. Then you can be my trustee and help me in the organization. Just promote it. I’ll make a limited-edition edition and use an auction model.”
By then, everyone who knows me and the gin boss will definitely be rushing to buy it! Maybe BOSS will secretly buy a copy and read it! I will definitely make a fortune!
"If you really write it, I will definitely help you publicize it for free." Miyano Shiho looked a little speechless, but also a little curious, "Aren't you afraid that Gin will be angry?"
I was silent for a long time, picked up the coffee cup in front of me, and replied in a calm tone: "Let's put it this way, Shirley. Ever since I met the gin boss, he has always been angry more often than not. many."
Miyano Shiho: "..."
"How about it? Looking at it this way, do I really look like true love?"
Miyano Shiho wanted to complain about me at first, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she could not refute this sentence, so she turned from speechless to confused, and her last little face was filled with solemnity and confusion.
"Of course, people in the organization won't think so." Thinking of what happened before, I frowned, "Chianti even privately called me the gin boss's dog."
"What the hell? The reverse can also be true, right?"
"Yes, yes! That's what I thought too! I also complained about it in private, but Boss Gin happened to hear it!"
"...And then nothing happened?" Miyano Shiho looked at me with a complicated look and commented, "Maybe you really are true love."
"But there are still things that don't make sense. I'm working hard to solve the puzzle." I said, and also gave my choice, "But I want to be a cat more than a dog. If you are unhappy like this, you can hit the owner. , and then the master will come to coax me."
Miyano Shiho half-opened his eyes and said, "Isn't it already?"
"No, it's not even close." I shook my head, sighed, held up my headphones, and made a shushing gesture towards the other party, "Be quiet a little, and I'll listen to what the other side's reaction is. .”
"Huh? Did you install a bug? Who did you listen to?"
"No, remote eavesdropping has a distance limit and is easy to detect due to signal problems. I installed a software on Vodka's mobile phone. After he answered my call, he could set the command to turn it on. Now his mobile phone is my eavesdropper. But he probably put his cell phone in his pocket, the volume is a bit low, let’s be quiet.”
Miyano Shiho seemed to want to complain about me again, but she finally began to hold back, and calmly stood up and turned on the surveillance camera to check the status of her experimental group of mice.
And I quietly pricked up my ears to listen to what was going on over there.
The voice on the other end was a little noisy at first, but then became much quieter. It should be that the people and horses on the mission were reuniting.
I also heard a familiar voice: [What a rare thing. Didn’t that woman act like an obedient pug and follow her this time? 】
…Well, it’s Chianti again.
Why does it seem like her vocabulary for swearing is becoming increasingly scarce?
Vodka immediately retorted: [Chianti, you said that you would be targeted by Cocoa Wine after she found out. 】
[Heh, it’s like I’m afraid of that kid. 】
The voice that spoke this time was Chianti’s partner Cohen: [Although you are not afraid, you have fallen into her pranks more than once. To save trouble, just say a few words. 】
Chianti exploded all of a sudden: [Hey! Whose partner are you? Could it be that just because Cocoa Wine said that you dress more like a qualified sniper, you are on her side? ! Don’t think I didn’t notice you sneaking out for afternoon tea with her last time! You just think it’s too girly to eat greasy afternoon tea desserts alone, so you want her to cover you up, and then you keep saying nice things to her, right? 】
I heard this with a solemn look on my face—Chianti’s judgment was wrong.
I'm the only one who wants to have afternoon tea. Cohen came to me because he wanted to ride the Ferris wheel, but it seemed strange for a man over thirty to ride the Ferris wheel alone, so he asked me to help cover him.
His idol baggage is actually very heavy.
[You are wrong. I just don’t want to be implicated by you. And no matter how you look at it, Cocoa doesn't look like Gin's dog, and she doesn't really listen to Gin. 】
【...That's true. Gee, I really don’t know how Gin is raised... Hey, Vodka, have you been following those two people? What does it look like to you? 】
【Why? I... I think Coco Jiu is more like a wild horse raised by the elder brother... right? 】
At this moment, both me who was eavesdropping and the two snipers who were listening openly were silent.
The topic ended without any smoke and was very deliberately turned into a task-related topic.
After the mission, I also heard them chatting about new people there.
[By the way, I almost forgot to mention that there is a new person with a codename in charge of sniping, called Scotland. Vodka, tell me about the cocoa bar. 】
[Ah, okay...is there any problem over there that Cocoa Wine needs to pay attention to? 】
【That's not true. But I remember that her first reaction to all the snipers was to dislike all the snipers. I think there is a new target that can make her hold less grudges against Chianti. 】
[…Cohen, I think based on Cocoa’s memory and grudge level, having one more person bring harm will not hinder what she and Chianti are targeting. 】
Then, there was silence again.
I calmly ate the senbei here.
Still vodka knows me.
But Scotland... I have an impression of this name, but I have no intention of contacting it.
We have so many people in our organization, and who knows how many good and bad people have mixed in with different purposes. The narrower my social circle, the less personal trouble I will have. Although it is said that Boss Gin comes to save me every time I am in danger... But because of this, I cannot give up my personal vigilance! Otherwise, it will be easy to be crippled!
I listened patiently to what they talked about, and when the boss of Gin came over, I cheered up and listened carefully.
Vodka did remember my instructions, probably considering that I tend to hold grudges, so after Boss Gin got in the car, he said: [Brother, Cocoa Wine called me before. 】
The voice of the gin boss sounded a little impatient: [What's wrong? 】
[She said let me tell you something, she is a person who does what she says... Well, she does what she says, and then she has found it. She didn't say what she found. I think it must be something you said... She sounded quite proud. 】
【Um? That naughty brat...] Boss Gin sneered, then suddenly paused, his voice turned cold for a moment, [Stop the car, vodka, check on you. 】
【Why? Okay, okay... But brother, I've checked before. There's nothing like cocoa wine or bugs on me or in my car. 】
[Check again and give me your phone. 】
[My mobile phone...huh? ! Why does the phone show that the call is in progress... I clearly confirmed that I have hung up before! 】
...Boss Gin is so sharp! And be so careful! Good thing you know me!
My expression became solemn, I took a sip of the cold coffee and frowned. Just when I was about to hang up the phone, I heard a familiar voice deliberately lowered a bit, as if whispering, with a hint of something. Warning means: [Cocoa wine, get over here now. 】
I was silent for a long time, turned on the mute button, and said, "I don't! You were the one who told me to stay away before!"
The other party seemed to laugh angrily, and actually let out a short sneer: [Do you want me to pick you up in person? 】
I was stunned for a moment, even though I knew this sentence was sarcastic and a rhetorical question in a questioning mode...
Anyway, if he dared to ask, I would dare to answer, so I simply said, "Yes."
[...] Even the boss of Gin was silent for two seconds, and then he replied in a calm tone, [Okay, you wait. 】
……what happened? Being so calm actually makes people more scared!
I put down my phone, took off my headphones, looked at the girl who came out of the monitoring room, faced her questioning eyes, and said calmly: "Look, I won, and now he wants to take me home in person." .”
Miyano Shiho: "It would be more convincing if you suppress the guilty conscience on your face."
