Chapter 19: Is there also competition for jobs?
At the same time, on the other side——————
"Do you want me to say congratulations on your appointment?" Miyano Shiho looked at the person who appeared in front of him and asked.
Akai Shuichi smiled slightly: "That's not necessary."
Miyano Shiho withdrew his gaze and curled his lips: "Well, joining this organization itself is not something worthy of congratulations."
...My girlfriend’s sister is still a venomous lolita as always!
Akai Shuichi was used to the other party's speaking style, so he did not dwell on this point. Instead, he showed a look of hesitation, mixed with a bit of confusion at the right time, and tentatively asked: "Shirley" , you are relatively familiar with Miss Natsuki, right?"
Miyano Shiho remembered the phone call and the warning statement that Natsume Natsuki had received when he was with her before. He glanced at him and said in a rather rude tone: "Well, you have already guessed that she is from the organization, right? Now that you know it, there’s no need to hide it.”
"Well..." Akai Shuichi said hesitantly, "Actually, it's not anything else, it's just that I found that if I mentioned her to other people in the organization, their attitudes would become a little strange... and it doesn't feel like it's because of her herself, it seems. It’s aimed at me…”
Miyano Shiho: "..."
Miyano Shiho understood instantly, but Miyano Shiho didn't say anything.
After all...it can't be said that it's because you are easily involved in other people's emotional disputes, you look like you are easily harassed by someone in the workplace, and you happen to know that person and everyone will mistakenly think that you are the one who got her into the organization. Showing a complicated expression?
And especially when someone really wants to play stuntman...
But just because Miyano Shiho didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that Akai Shuichi didn't speculate.
He just paused briefly before asking: "Is it because I look more similar to someone else? And this person has a close relationship with Miss Natsume?"
Although this sentence was a question, the tone was firm.
This can't be blamed on Shuichi Akai for being too sensitive, it's because other people's behavior was too obvious.
When Miyano Shiho heard this, he stopped moving his hands and looked over: "Did you hear what someone said?"
"Rather than listening to who said it, it's better to listen to what everyone said." Akai Shuichi smiled slightly.
His temporary partner, Scotland, has a calm character and doesn't understand anything he asks. But other colleagues...especially the Chianti, not only acted clearly, but also seemed to have a grudge against Natsume Natsuki, gloating about others' misfortunes and sowing discord.
He also learned from the other party that Natsume Natsuki's code name is Cocoa Wine.
It can only be said that there is a real reason for cocoa wine to criticize Chianti every time.
And Akai Shuichi also learned about another person... Gin, who was ranked among the top ten in the organization, had senior qualifications and had strong personal abilities.
If this person can be caught, this organization will not only be severely damaged, but also get a lot of information they want. ——Akai, FBI agent Shuichi thought so.
And it just so happens that the two of them are now able to get along because of this inexplicable nepotism. Since Gin and him are similar, and everyone else in the organization agrees, then the probability of continuing to lurk, climb up, and confront each other Very high.
In a short period of time, Shuichi Akai has initially set his ultimate goal and is working hard towards it.
Climbing up depends on his personal ability, but as for other aspects...
"Just listen to what others say." Miyano Shiho put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and said in a cool tone, "Don't worry, although she has quite mixed tastes, she probably isn't very interested in you."
As a good best friend and someone who has always complained about, Miyano Shiho understands the other person's emotional state very well.
She also knows a lot about cocoa wine. If the person in front of her is not her sister's boyfriend, she may take advantage of it in some way, but with this identity, she will definitely not have any thoughts in that regard - because she is indifferent to other people's things. Type of interest.
When Miyano Shiho said that, Akai Shuichi's eyes became more complicated for a moment, and he glanced at the brown-haired girl in front of him subtly.
He agreed with what the other party said. After all, he is not inexperienced or without emotional intelligence. It can be seen that Natsume Natsuki's attitude towards him is more like waiting for an opportunity to punch him than interested.
It is more likely that Natsume Natsuki is interested in Miyano Shiho than Natsume Natsuki is interested in him. After all, he almost thought they were a couple... Wait, why did Miyano Shiho say she had mixed tastes? What does this imply? Is this organization a bit chaotic emotionally?
After Miyano Shiho said this, he didn't explain much, but looked down at the new email he had just received - it was from Cocoa Wine, asking her to go shopping, and complaining that he had to work again during this time.
The expression on her face changed unconsciously, with a hint of smile, but she couldn't help but frown when the other party said that Belmod insisted on kissing her.
Akai Shuichi observed her expression and guessed: "Is it Miss Natsume's email?"
"Well." Miyano Shiho put away his phone and looked at him, "Is there anything else?"
Speaking of this, Akai Shuichi stopped trying to be too pretentious and asked hesitantly: "So, who is Miss Natsume..."
He didn't finish his words, but he left enough space for people to understand what he meant.
Miyano Shiho recalled what his friends complained and confided in him every time, and replied calmly: "I don't know, it's probably retribution."
Akai Shuichi: "...?"
Not getting many answers, Akai Shuichi knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he shut up and decided to go elsewhere to inquire about the information.
After all, one of the great conveniences that his identity brings to him is that no one will suspect him of ulterior motives when inquiring about this information. It's that look of sympathy, pity, or schadenfreude that makes people feel subtly angry.
But besides that, he still had one more thing to ask: "By the way, Shirley, my recent tasks have suddenly become much more than at the beginning, and they are all more dangerous. I tested other people. , they talk about other things, but I feel that the subtext is because Miss Natsume...Have I offended her before? "
He was really wondering, could it be because of the high-five-like handshake when they first met?
Miyano Shiho was also very indifferent to this: "I don't know, maybe it's your retribution."
Akai Shuichi: "...???"
Is this little girl's poisonous tongue a bit too high? ——Akai Shuichi thought, but still did not forget the business, and added the last sentence: "Then should I please her? Or maybe she needs help with something?"
Miyano Shiho was just about to say no, but then he remembered someone's replacement plan. After thinking for a while, he replied: "Wait a moment, I can help you ask."
***
It looks like Bourbon was more than just curious, he even took action.
As expected, they were from the intelligence team, but they were more active than those from other teams.
I don't think that the other person is interested in me so he came to seduce me. After all, I know Bourbon's information and resume. Even if it is just the first time we meet, I have a preliminary judgment on what type of person the other person is.
I just don’t know what Bourbon is curious about... The one who got my contact information was Belmode, right? I'm a little curious about what he told Belmode to get her to agree to give her contact information.
I didn't explain the whole situation to the Gin boss. Apart from finding it troublesome, I also had some small thoughts of my own - after all, I was talking about looking for a replacement! Of course, those who feel possible will be shortlisted, and then we will see which one of them is closer and more capable to get in front of the Gin boss!
Of course, I won’t let Bourbon help with what Belmode asked me to do.
My [Masan Nana] vest will not be known to anyone except the stakeholders.
At present, in addition to the boss who gave the order, the only people who know my identity are Pisk and Ireland, who need cooperation, as well as the gin boss and vodka. Even Belmod only knew that I had an identity of being an outsider, and didn’t know the specific content... Of course, if he saw me in person, I guess Belmod would recognize me.
Thinking of this, I took out my phone and sent an email to Belmode: [What's going on over there in Bourbon? 】
Belmode also responded quickly.
[It seems that he is quite interested in you, and he has more contact with Rum, so he is also interested in you, right? 】
Hmm...that's true.
I know that Rum's faction is actually vaguely opposed to Boss Gin, and Rum is BOSS's right-hand man. Whether I want to change Boss Gin's career or move up to a higher position, Rum is a huge obstacle. In addition to the intelligence of the other party's boss, he used mysticism to hide his identity very well. Almost no one in the organization except the BOSS knew what he looked like. Even I, who had been specially trained by him for a period of time, was not there. I saw his true face for a while - at that time he used processed electronic sounds to communicate with me remotely.
Among the people in the organization I know who are so willing to hide their lives, apart from the BOSS, Rum is the one. So I have been secretly trying to collect information about him. Belmode also knows this and will often leak information to me.
With this in mind, I replied to Belmod: [That's it, thank you. 】
But before I could figure out how to reply to Bourbon, Shirley’s email came.
[Your replacement candidate No. 1 wants to please you. Let me help you. Is there anything else you need help with? You can call him on whatever you want. 】
I was stunned for a moment, staring at this message, lost in thought.
what happened? Suddenly there is still competition for jobs?
Forget it, no matter what ulterior motives the two of them have, as long as the situation is favorable to me.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn to look at the Gin boss who was driving there, ready to make a move - what if I told him with a bright smile that I had found a replacement candidate, or two?
