Chapter 101 The hobbies of the organization's members are truly something else...

The sun was shining brightly, cheerful music filled every corner, colorful balloons clustered against the blue sky, and the Dorobiga Park was filled with the joyful laughter of children and relaxed tourists. The air was filled with the sweet aroma of popcorn and candied apples.

Holding a fluffy, soft cotton candy like a cloud, Nekono Yuuya strolled leisurely through the sun-drenched amusement park, just like any other tourist immersed in the experience. A smile unconsciously played on his lips as his gaze casually swept over the laughing and chatting crowd, enjoying the peaceful and joyful atmosphere.

This is his paradise—literally.

Dorobiga Land was designed and supervised by Nekono's father as a birthday gift to Nekono Ikuya when he was still young.

He vividly remembers the scene when he first 'unpacked' this enormous gift: his equally young sons, Rei Furuya and Hiromitsu Morofushi, were by his side. The three children ran wildly in the dream kingdom, which was not yet open to the public, and were the first to experience every attraction. Pure laughter filled every corner of the park.

Now, many years later, this amusement park, which holds many fond childhood memories for Ikuya Nekono, has become one of Tokyo's most famous landmarks, welcoming visitors from all over the world every day and spreading joy to countless people.

In short, Dorobiga Park is very famous now, and Ikuya Nekono knows it's famous, but he doesn't know—

Nekono Ikuya's gaze shifted slightly. In the brightly colored and bustling crowd, two black figures stood out from the crowd, like two drops of ink suddenly dripping onto a vibrant oil painting.

Nekono Ikuya took a bite of the marshmallow and thought to himself with a deep expression—he didn't know it was famous enough to attract Gin and vodka.

Even in a dense crowd, the man stood out like a crane among chickens. Perhaps it shouldn't be described as an elegant crane; he was more like a lone wolf that had wandered into an amusement park.

Gin was still wearing a somber black trench coat over a light blue turtleneck sweater. His signature long silver hair cascaded down his back like a cold waterfall, smooth and lustrous, clearly showing how much he cherished it.

He wore a black top hat, the shadow cast by his bangs and the brim obscuring most of his face, concealing his cold, brooding green eyes. All that could be seen were his sharply defined jawline and thin lips pressed into a straight line. Yet, the aura of unapproachability emanating from him caused those around him to unconsciously maintain a subtle distance.

Vodka, dressed in a black suit and wearing black sunglasses, followed behind Gin, wearing an ordinary dark shirt underneath, looking no different from an average office worker.

Although the people around them kept a subtle distance from Gin because of his aura, they were not actually very wary of the two of them, and did not pay much attention to them.

It's simply because black formal attire is so common in this country. If they weren't in an amusement park but just on any street, their ordinary clothing would easily blend them into the crowd. As for the cold aura of these two, especially the tall, silver-haired one? Hey~ they're both at the amusement park.

Nekono Ikuya blinked, her relaxed expression unchanged.

Since the two undercover agents, Scotland and Rye, evacuated the organization with a large amount of intelligence, the organization has not only experienced internal power turmoil, but its situation has also become difficult.

In Japan, in particular, the Japanese police not only dismantled many organizations' informants based on the list brought back from Scotland, but also dismantled some of the organizations' dark networks in society based on the confessions of arrested members, such as the shady deals involving violence and money between the organizations and some company presidents.

This caused the organization's funding and operational space to shrink drastically, and even the renowned Gin sometimes had to condescend to handle small tasks such as intimidating small company presidents to extort money.

According to the information Nekono Ikuya had gathered, the organization hadn't been conducting any major operations recently; most of their missions were simply to collect money. He guessed that Gin and Vodka were also on a money-collecting mission this time, and that the amount involved wouldn't be too large, so they hadn't paid much attention to it.

Because Ikumi Nekono watched them stride menacingly toward—the roller coaster.

Nekono Ikuya: "..."

Nekono Ikuya's crescent-shaped eyes.

What's going on? Gin and the others chose this amusement park, which seems to be crowded and easy to mislead, but is actually very inconvenient due to the large number of people, could their main purpose be to get reimbursed by the company and take the opportunity to have fun by themselves?

Ever since seeing Bourbon's expense reimbursement list, Nekono Ikuya has been impressed by the organization's ability to reimburse anything and everything. No wonder the organization is so quick to suspect or eliminate people, and even if a mission fails, people could lose their lives, yet so many people still flock to join the organization. The organization is truly generous when it comes to funds.

Especially for codenamed members, as long as they are capable enough and complete their missions flawlessly, the organization doesn't care about 'necessary expenses' such as meals at high-end restaurants and room fees at five-star hotels; they approve them all without batting an eye. So, the organization must also reimburse Gin and Vodka's expenses at the amusement park, right?

After all, they could say they rode the roller coaster to observe from a high vantage point in the amusement park, to determine if there were any problems with the transaction and whether the transacting parties had called the police.

—As for how they conduct reconnaissance given the roller coaster's high speed, sharp turns, and hidden passages that obstruct the view, that's none of your concern!

Nekono Ikuya looked at the Ferris wheel in the distance again.

So, is it possible to catch a Cohen who likes riding Ferris wheels if we go to the Ferris wheel now? Maybe we can also see Chianti looking impatient but still keeping Cohen company?

The hobbies of the organization members are truly unique.

Nekono Ikuya shook his head, deciding to ignore these dangerous individuals with peculiar interests. What if they really were just there to have fun at the amusement park? He couldn't be bothered with them and didn't want to get involved. The sun was shining brightly today, and the cotton candy was sweet; he had no interest in letting Gin and vodka ruin his good mood.

He's here to relax! Nekono Ikuya turned around and walked towards the haunted house.

However, as Nekono Yuuya popped the last bite of the marshmallow into his mouth, the sweetness melting on his tongue, he smiled mischievously, thinking:

Hopefully, Gin and Vodka's hats won't be blown away by the wind when they ride the roller coaster.

After a thrilling roller coaster ride, unfortunately, Gin and Vodka's hats seemed to be welded to their heads, and the hat-blowing incident that Nekono Ikuya would have loved to see did not occur.

But their mood wasn't much better, because—

"Ahhh!"

Blood splattered everywhere, covering everyone's heads and faces. A few seconds later, screams and belated terror emerged.

Vodka's pupils dilated in shock, and even Gin was momentarily stunned. No one's hat disappeared, but someone's head was gone!

The undercover operation in Scotland was successful, and the police did make significant progress in eliminating informants within the system. However, the organization was not without resistance; while it was re-threatening and corrupting police personnel, it also did other things.

A safe and secure country is not what they want. The organization has intensified its efforts to smuggle guns, bombs, and drugs, making these prohibited and dangerous items easily accessible to ordinary people in the shadows of society. While profiting is one aspect, the more important goal is to disrupt public order, keep police officers on the run, and allow organization members to operate in seclusion.

The organization had been working on this for a while, but now the results are becoming increasingly apparent. Just look at the increasing number of murders in the news and the growing popularity of detectives.

Possessing a weapon makes one's murderous intent more readily apparent. Since poison and bombs have become readily available, those with grudges are no longer as easily able to suppress their murderous intent as before.

The organization has also suffered backlash, with many members being caught up in ordinary murder cases and dying tragically without warning, such as Gin and Vodka now.

“B-Big brother…” Vodka subconsciously looked at Gin.

He was horrified, both by the visual and psychological impact of seeing people suddenly turn into headless corpses after passing through a tunnel. The difference between killing someone yourself and witnessing someone being killed in such a gruesome way, whether by gunshot or by decapitation, is enormous.

It was because they had just been stopped by a kid who called himself a detective, and the police arrived so quickly after only a brief entanglement. Apparently, the police had just finished handling another murder case nearby, which allowed them to arrive at the scene so swiftly.

At this moment, they had already missed their best chance to escape in the chaos, and most importantly, they were armed!

If the police discover their firearms, the consequences could be dire! And the likelihood of a murder being committed and a police search is extremely high!

Gin's cold gaze swept over Vodka, stopping Vodka from saying anything more.

“Shut up and don’t do anything unnecessary,” he warned in a low voice.

Gin felt agitated inside.

This was the most frustrating thing for him. Sometimes, some of the trained, even 'battle-hardened' members of the organization were not as calm and meticulous as an ordinary, first-time novice criminal in Beika Town.

He looked ahead at the woman with a face full of sorrow and terror, who was actually performing a bold and extreme 'gymnastics' routine on the moving roller coaster, severing the victim's head—Gin could certainly tell who the real culprit in this case was, but unfortunately he didn't encounter such a promising talent within the organization.

Then he glared at Vodka with a look of disappointment.

Why doesn't Vodka have such outstanding abilities as the other party?

Vodka: ? ? ?

He really can't do that.

...

While the shocking murder occurred on the roller coaster track at Dorobiga Park, Ikuya Nekono was having a great time in the haunted house.

However, his approach to haunted houses is completely different from that of ordinary tourists. While ordinary tourists go into haunted houses to experience fear, Nekono Ikuya goes into haunted houses to scare the 'ghosts'.

With their elusive skills and quick disguises, coupled with the sudden lights going out, automatically opening and closing doors, and sighs that inexplicably appear behind people when there is no one behind them, the 'ghost's' screams became more terrifying than the tourists' screams, and several new terrifying rumors were added to the haunted house.

Nekono Ikuya walked out of the haunted house satisfied, not forgetting to send a message to the manager to give the innocent staff who had been frightened by him a consolation payment.

Haunted house staff: I was just scared by something weird in the haunted house and then my boss inexplicably gave me a bonus. Could this haunted house really be haunted? (Seriously!)

Shivering...

Nekono Ikuya patted non-existent dust off her hands, in high spirits, before noticing that the roller coaster ride not far away seemed to have been suspended.

"Hmm, is it malfunctioning?" he muttered, but didn't pay much attention.

Looking up at the sky, Nekono Ikuya decided to head home.
