Who is that woman?

Why would the men in black robes believe that this woman could be exchanged for the information they possess?

besides...

What kind of intelligence is it?

The man in black robes has yet to say what information he wants.

While listening attentively to the recording, Shuichi Akai was also thinking about the answers to these questions.

As the man in black robes finished speaking, a melodious female voice rang out.

It was this woman's voice that interrupted all his thoughts.

He has remained completely calm since he left home this morning.

However, at this moment.

When this female voice rang out.

His expression showed a slight change, but his heart was already in turmoil.

What deal, what intelligence, what man in black...?

He put all of that out of his mind at that moment.

Memories he had deliberately hidden deep within his memory began to surface uncontrollably.

Images suddenly flashed before his eyes.

These images flashed by like a marquee.

The speed gradually slowed down.

The final image froze.

There are two people in the picture.

One is him, and the other is the owner of this female voice.

Although they hadn't seen each other for two years and there was no video recording, hearing that familiar voice reminded him of that familiar person.

That foolish woman who pretended to be calm on the surface, but secretly cried in private.

The complex emotions swirling in his mind caused Shuichi Akai to involuntarily open his mouth.

He uttered three syllables softly:

"Mingmei..."

Two years ago, his identity was exposed due to a mistake.

So he fled the organization.

He abandoned the code name "Rye Whiskey" and the pseudonym "Moroboshi Dai"...

A kind girl was left behind.

Her name is Akemi Miyano.

He confessed the day before he was to carry out that mission.

His genuine feelings for her made it impossible for him to continue lying.

He told Akemi Miyano about his undercover identity.

It was then that he realized Mingmei had known all along that he was an undercover agent.

In his imagination, once Akemi Miyano found out he was an undercover agent, she would hate him, curse him, and beat him...

But it didn't happen.

Everything was as usual.

After he confessed, she only said one sentence to him, with tears welling up in her eyes:

"If you don't tell me, I won't know."
