"Just sit down and I'll serve it."

Hoshino Aoi leaned sideways to avoid Judy's hand.

"This is also Coke, it's all the same."

“…How is it the same…”

One is iced and one is hot.

One has bubbles when you drink it, and the other has been boiled and has no bubbles.

And the taste is different too...

One is sweet, and the other is sweet with a hint of ginger's spicy flavor.

But even if she had a lot of things to complain about, Judy only dared to mutter softly, not daring to raise her voice at all.

Even when Solana looked over, he hurried over and sat down on another independent sofa.

"Click—"

Solana placed the ginger cola in front of her.

"Okay, one drink, okay?"

Hoshino Aoi also knows that for those who have never experienced ginger syrup or ginger cola, the taste is indeed difficult to accept.

So she had no intention of letting Judy drink it all, she just coaxed her and let her drink as much as she could.

"After all, it's to keep the cold away. You just came back from outside, and you've been taken out on business trips quite a lot lately, so it's inevitable that you'll catch a cold. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had a stomachache yesterday."

As the 'someone' mentioned by Aoi Hoshino, Shuichi Akai strategically took a sip of his Coke, pretending that he didn't hear the accusation in 'Middles' words.

But this time, he really guessed wrong.

After all, Hoshino Aoi also knew that as an FBI agent, it was impossible for Judy to choose tasks at will just because she was a girl and had a special period.

On the other hand, precisely because she is a girl, she has to work harder and it is even more impossible for her to choose any task at will.

Naturally, it was impossible for Aoi Hoshino to point fingers at them because of this matter.

Judy also knew that her words didn't mean anything else. Although it sounded like an accusation to Shuichi Akai, Judy knew that 'Solana' was the one who most supported her in working hard and improving herself.

So her words were not because she felt sorry for her having to go out on external affairs even at this time, but she was simply concerned about her health.

Seeing this, what else can Judy say?

Even if she didn't like the taste, in order not to make her worry and to prevent her efforts from being in vain, Judy had to grit her teeth and drink the cup of ginger cola in front of her.

But I don’t know if it was her illusion or because she had been drinking it for two days in a row and had become accustomed to it.

Although Judy still didn't like the spicy smell, after drinking a cup of hot ginger cola, the warmth went down and gradually reached her lower abdomen.

Her originally cold lower abdomen slowly began to warm up, and the warm feeling made her relax completely.

As she saw a hint of blood gradually appear on her pale lips, Hoshino Aoi's eyebrows also curved.

"I knew this trick would work, didn't you? You didn't want to drink yesterday."

As she spoke, she sat down on the armrest of the sofa where Judy was sitting.

"This is a mysterious power from the ancient Eastern country."

“It’s really good.”

Judy didn't insist this time. After hearing what Solana said, she nodded in agreement.

"Do you want to drink more? There's still some in the pot."

Solana tilted her head and said something cute, but it didn't sound very cute to Judy.

“…then…let’s not use it…”

Although the effect of the last cup was indeed good, but if I want another cup, then forget it...

Judy decided she was well enough now, no longer cold, and there was absolutely no need to drink anymore.

"All right."

Hoshino Aoi didn't mean to force her to drink all the ginger cola, so after hearing her say she didn't want to drink it anymore, Hoshino Aoi just shrugged casually and turned her eyes to Akai Shuichi, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side and had a large sofa to himself.

"By the way, you just said Akai wanted to talk to me about something..."

"Ah, yes."

Judy then remembered that when she was about to get off work, Shuichi Akai suddenly called her and said that he needed Solana's help with something. She quickly looked at Shuichi Akai together with her.

But he raised his eyebrows and looked at Solana with a smile.

"There is indeed something I need to talk to you about. Do you mind talking to me alone?"

His voice was as calm as ever, but for some reason, it gave people a feeling that a storm was about to come.

Hearing this, Hoshino Aoi also raised her eyebrows, but did not reply to him immediately. Instead, she turned her head to look at Judy and whispered to her:

"Judy, why don't you go back to the bedroom and rest? I ordered takeout before you got off work, but it's a little late. You can rest first. I'll call you when the takeout arrives."

Judy looked left at 'Solana' who looked concerned, and right at Akai Shuichi who looked calm.

She was silent for a moment, then stood up and said:

"Alright, I'll go back to my room and rest. Call me when the takeaway arrives."

Hoshino Aoi made an 'ok' gesture, and then together with Akai Shuichi, she silently watched Judy walk into her bedroom.

"Click—"

The sound of the door being locked from the inside rang in their ears, and the two of them withdrew their gaze and looked at each other.

"If you have anything to say, you have to talk to me face to face."

As Hoshino Aoi spoke, she lightly stepped on the sofa and successfully slid down from the armrest onto the soft sofa.

During the whole process, her eyes never left Akai Shuichi.

Akai Shuichi's gaze was the same, but compared to Hoshino Aoi's, his gaze was more serious.

"There's something unusual going on over there at Vermouth. Did you do anything?"

His voice was a little cold, and there was a hint of suspicion in his dark green eyes. He just stared at Hoshino Aoi, and for some reason, Hoshino Aoi suddenly thought of Gin.

If she remembered correctly, there seemed to be a saying that Shuichi Akai was the Gin of the Red Side?

But to be honest, they do look somewhat alike.

But Aoi Hoshino is not even afraid of Gin on the black team, so how could she be afraid of Shuichi Akai on the red team?

So in response to his almost questioning words, she just chuckled and said curiously:

"Why do you ask? I've already left the organization."

So how could she control what Vermouth did?
