"You mean... you suspect they're all connected to the FBI?"

Vermouth was originally listening carefully to what Hoshino Aoi said, but when she spoke more and more outrageously, she couldn't help but interrupt.

However, in response to her objection, Hoshino Aoi said:

"Yeah, otherwise why would the FBI appear in the banquet hall by chance?"

"Is it possible that they are investigating something else?"

It’s not that Vermouth doesn’t believe what she said...

All right……

She just doesn't believe it.

After all, there are only three newcomers in total. Isn't it too outrageous to speculate that all three of them are related to the FBI?

"If you say one of them might be an FBI undercover, I believe it, but all three of them are related to the FBI... isn't that a bit outrageous?"

Of course, there are other possibilities, that is, the three of them belong to different countries and different departments.

But under the guidance of Hoshino Aoi, Vermouth subconsciously forgot this possibility and instead seriously considered the possibility that the three of them were arranged into the organization by the FBI.

really……

This possibility is still too low.

"But when we were on a mission, the FBI also showed up at the scene. If it really was a coincidence, wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence?"

Hoshino Aoi shrugged and said nonchalantly:

"Anyway, I think all three of them could be undercover agents, and Rye is the most likely suspect. After all, although Bourbon was always trying to steal the credit, and he ultimately got it, if he was an undercover agent, then he wouldn't have had to come up with the plan to eliminate Yamamoto Taro on the plane."

Although she said that Toru Amuro also had problems, if you listened carefully to her words, you could tell that she was actually making excuses for him in both her words and deeds.

"But he gives me the impression of someone who's desperate to climb the ladder. No matter what task he's assigned, he wants to complete it quickly so he can show off in front of that gentleman. Don't you think that's strange?"

In front of Gin, the hardworking model worker at the brewery, Aoi Hoshino said directly:

"Most people wouldn't be this proactive, would they? Anyway, I really hate the organization assigning me tasks, let alone actively completing them so that the organization can see my abilities. Vermouth, aren't you the same as me?"

They were first-rate at getting some reimbursements or stealing funds, but when it came to completing missions...

This is...

"In short, I think there's something wrong with anyone who's too proactive about their tasks."

As soon as Hoshino Aoi said this, even Gin didn't know what to say.

According to her logic, there does seem to be something wrong with Bourbon who is so eager to complete his mission...

Gin: What's the problem?

"So, according to your logic, I have problems too?"

"Eh? Didn't I tell you that?"

Hoshino Aoi blinked her eyes:

"Haven't I always suspected you were an undercover agent? After all, most people wouldn't be in a car 365 days a year, busy dealing with traitors or engaging in shady dealings, right? But Gin, you're incredibly dedicated. You've already climbed this far, and yet you haven't revealed your true identity yet. I really admire you."

Hearing this, Gin and Vermouth suddenly felt that they were fools just now because they were listening to her attentively.

As for her conclusion that Bourbon was an undercover agent because of this incident, it also became ridiculous.

but……

"What about Scotland?"

The laughter in Vermouth's voice was almost uncontrollable.

She wanted to hear what other outrageous words she could say.

"If I remember correctly, Scotland has never been competitive. They complete tasks seriously, but they don't try to achieve anything just to stand out."

If she suspected Bourbon because he was too competitive, too eager to excel, and too proactive when facing tasks, then what about Scotland?

He and Bourbon are completely different types.

Why was he on her list of suspects?

"Hmm... maybe because he's so unsociable?"

Aoi Hoshino's tone was clearly hesitant:

"Anyway, it's very strange. I don't know why I doubt him, but I just think there's something wrong with him."

Upon hearing this, Vermouth's expression became a little more serious.

Is it a subconscious feeling?

Of course, she still remembered that Hoshino Aoi had been arranged by Rum to carry out an undercover mission in the Metropolitan Police Department, so when she heard her say that although she didn't know why, she felt that his identity was problematic, Vermouth subconsciously thought of the Metropolitan Police Department.

perhaps……

This time, she really got lucky and might have caught a big fish for the organization.

But soon, she regained her normal composure.

"In that case, I'll leave him to you. You'd better keep a close eye on him."

"Tsk...it's like if there's nothing wrong with him, then it doesn't belong to me."

Hoshino Aoi curled her lips and muttered somewhat dissatisfiedly:

"I actually wanted you to return Bourbon to me, but you were so cunning that you contacted him behind my back. I hadn't even had enough fun, and you already snatched him away."

"What do you mean by 'return'? Rum didn't promise to give him to you to play with once you complete the mission."

Thinking of the man who allowed Hoshino Aoi to dress him up in order to complete the task, a smile appeared in Vermouth's eyes.

"But if you're willing to observe Scotland carefully and perform your missions well, I can discuss with Rum about having the three of you team up from time to time."

"That's a deal then."

After hearing what Vermouth said, Hoshino Aoi's tone suddenly became high-spirited, as if she had instantly become energetic and even knew to put forward conditions.

"I don't want rye then."

"Heh...you wanted rye."

Regardless of whether he is an undercover agent or not, is she crazy or is he crazy to arrange two snipers in one team?

However, in response to Gin's words, Hoshino Aoi said: I am happy now and don't want to pay attention to what you say.

but……

"Actually, I don't think it's necessary to confirm their identities so early. After all, undercover agents are eager to take on all the dirty work to achieve their goals. If that's the case, why not let them do more work? We can investigate them when they're no longer needed. This way, we can get free labor. How great is that?"
