Chapter 242
Vodka went to see Akemi Miyano, who had returned from Usui Saiki's place.
With a serious expression but a deeply uneasy heart, he asked, "Did Potnis say anything?"
"Hmm... they asked about my recent situation."
Vodka became even more serious: "You're not talking nonsense, are you?"
Given Usaku Saiki's sexist personality, it's not impossible that he would use the excuse of helping Miyano Akemi to pick a fight with him!
“We talked about the FBI…” Akemi Miyano hesitated before continuing.
Vodka immediately tensed up: "What did he say?"
“He said that even if I ran away with the FBI, I would still have to clean up his house before I ran away. If the FBI's treatment of me was not good, he was willing to hire me to continue cleaning, and he would ask the organization to reimburse me. I didn't have to worry about the money for him; he would give me a high price.”
Vodka: "…………"
How should I put it? It has the style of Usui Saiki's nonsense. You can tell it's him talking. Even a normal person like Miyano Akemi couldn't come up with such shameless words.
Did you say anything about me or my older brother?
"...Mr. Potts complained a little about your desire to kill him, but that was all."
Vodka breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh."
As long as they didn't talk about him and his older brother, that's fine. Judging from their previous conversation, it's safe to say that Usui Saiki and Miyano Akemi didn't discuss anything serious...
Seeing that it was getting late, Vodka decided to give up on the interrogation, figuring it wouldn't make much difference and he could at least avoid hearing some of Bo's nagging: "Alright, get some rest. Since you insist you have no contact with the FBI, you'll be going on a mission in a couple of days to prove your loyalty..."
"Wait!" Akemi Miyano called out to Vodka. "Well, actually, I talked to Mr. Potts about something else."
Upon hearing that Miyano Akemi was actually going to reveal the contents of her chat, Vodka felt not happy at all, but even more nervous—what terrible things could Miyano Akemi have said that she would be so willing to tell him?
"That's right... Mr. Potts actually complained about the organization."
Although it was Usui Saiki who told her to say it, Miyano Akemi was still a little uneasy when she said it, worried that saying it might cause trouble for Usui Saiki.
Vodka remained unfazed: "Oh, that's perfectly normal. What are you complaining about this time?"
Akemi Miyano: "..."
So skilled! How can he be so skilled?! How many times has Mr. Potts complained about the organization?!
She struggled to suppress the urge to complain and continued, "He said that an organization that only lets people in but not out is suspicious. Even hostages have ransoms. Most things in the world can be solved with money. If it can't be solved, it's because the amount is insufficient..."
Vodka listened expressionlessly.
Ha, is it really necessary to complain about this? Miyano Akemi is still too naive... But Usui Saiki is now even able to curse indirectly, whereas before she would directly curse the black-hearted company for exploiting its employees.
However, Akemi Miyano quickly got to the point: "So, I want to ask, if my sister and I want to leave the organization, how much money do we need to pay them?"
Vodka: "..."
Vodka: "...Huh???"
No way, you actually took Bo Yezaki's nonsense to heart?!
"I really don't want to get involved in drug trafficking, please, ask Qin Bar for me!"
Vodka was shocked, but at Miyano Akemi's request, and because this mess was also somewhat related to Usui Saiki, he relayed the message to Gin after returning.
Gin responded with a string of ellipses: "…………"
Vodka looked horrified: "Miyano Akemi actually believed that kind of thing! How stupid of her! Potts was just complaining about the organization, and she actually listened to her seriously..."
After a moment of silence, Gin sneered, "It's better if she's a little stupid. Tell her that one billion yen will buy her and Sherry's freedom."
"Big brother! Shirley is an important researcher! A mere billion..."
“It’s just to make her create some value.” Gin lit a cigarette. “If she really believes it, let her raise the money.”
Vodka thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "As expected of the eldest brother! He's trying to socially kill her! From now on, she'll only be able to rely on the organization!"
“The fact that she would ask to leave the organization already proves that she is not loyal to it. Maybe the FBI has already been secretly in contact with her.” Gin took a drag of his cigarette. “Let’s take this opportunity to see if we can lure the FBI out.”
Sherry is also having a lot of trouble. Ever since Akemi Miyano started the review, she's been on strike... Akemi Miyano's positive value is dwindling.
In his opinion, the organization had been too lenient with the sisters before. For a timid girl like Shirley, coercion would probably be more effective than bribery.
Unlike Vodka's idea of "social death," Gin actually preferred to kill Miyano Akemi directly and shift the blame to the FBI. After all, Sherry didn't have any intelligence sources and could only do whatever the organization said.
Sherry, who was conducting research with hatred for the FBI, might be more efficient.
And so, Akemi Miyano received the message relayed by Vodka.
Akemi Miyano: "...Ten billion yen, is that right? I'll do my best."
Shocking! Mr. Potts actually guessed right! Gin really will agree to that request! Even if it's just a pretense... but the amount... does he think she's an idiot?
There was no other way; she had to continue pretending to be mentally challenged. Only in this way could she lower Gin and Vodka's guard...
With mixed feelings, Akemi Miyano began to study her first criminal plan.
To be honest, it was a bit difficult. She had no idea where to start, so she bought 100 crime novels online overnight, hoping to get some inspiration from them.
Vodka, who was monitoring Akemi Miyano, was speechless as he looked at her online shopping list: "Brother, what if she gets caught halfway through..."
This novice is using a novel as a textbook... it would be strange if nothing went wrong.
Gin, on the other hand, didn't seem to care: "That's perfect, we can just kill them off."
Vodka: "…………"
Does your older brother have a problem with Akemi Miyano? Why does he seem to want to kill her?
My older brother probably sees Sulli more often... Oh, Sulli recently went on strike, what's that, taking it out on him?
Gin, who believed he was simply doing his job, wrote a serious report, reporting Miyano Akemi's situation to the boss and explaining his reasons for believing that Miyano Akemi should not be kept...
First, she was related to that FBI undercover agent. Although she didn't flee with her relative at the time, who knows if they had been secretly communicating all along, only pretending to have just reunited as relatives? Maybe they were planning to have one of them exposed while the other could stay in the organization and leak intelligence!
Don't underestimate Miyano Akemi just because she's a low-level employee. She's always been by Potts' side, and everyone knows that Potts is sexist. If Miyano Akemi exerts influence on Potts, who knows if the mentally unstable Potts might reveal information that he shouldn't tell her? Although Potts doesn't usually get involved in things, he can usually find out anything he wants to know, as long as it's not particularly confidential!
Secondly, the FBI has clearly been spotted around Akemi Miyano; it's impossible to say whether this was discovered recently or if they've been in contact for a long time...
The organization has already been more than kind to Miyano Akemi, and now she actually wants to suggest leaving the organization. She's utterly shameless and has no loyalty to the organization whatsoever. Keeping her around is just a disaster! Once we've squeezed out the last drop of value from her, we'll send her on her way!
The report was approved by the Boss, and Gin finally received a call from Akemi Miyano, who said that the money had been prepared and invited him to meet.
At this crucial moment, Usui called: "Hello? I asked Miyano Akemi to come and clean my house tomorrow, but she said she's busy. What's with her appointment with Gin?"
Vodka wiped his sweat: "Well, there's a mission that requires Miyano Akemi's participation..."
"What mission?"
"This... is a classified mission."
Usoya Saiki readily agreed: "You won't tell, huh? Fine."
The call ended, and Vodka felt his hands and feet turn ice-cold: "Big brother, it seems like Potts is up to something again..."
Gin frowned. Although he had a bad feeling, he thought that the Boss wouldn't send Usui Saiki to cause trouble this time.
Then he received a call from Chianti.
"Hey? Undercover agent... I mean, Gin, what mission are you on now? Count me in." Chianti said casually, "Potnis said he suspects you're up to no good. You almost killed him last time, and you're acting suspiciously again this time. I'm here to monitor you. Do you have any objections? If so, Potnis should go and ask the Boss for permission..."
Gin: "…………"
Is there any fundamental difference between joining immediately and joining after applying?
Well, it's better to join Chianti than to join Potts.
Gin's bottom line was lowered again and again by Usui Saiki, and before he knew it, he made a decision he would regret: "This mission has no reward."
Chianti rolled her eyes: "Tsk, who cares about your reward? I'm just keeping an eye on you for Potts. So, what's the mission?"
Gin pressed his temples, cautiously refusing to reveal the details of the mission: "You'll find out when the time comes."
—The later Usaku Saiki finds out, the better. Otherwise, once he finds out his nanny is going to die, he'll definitely make a scene! There's no room for negotiation on this!

.
In the original work, Gin killing Miyano Akemi was probably because he genuinely felt it wouldn't affect Sherry's continued research... I don't really understand what he was thinking, but in this story, he also seems to think killing Miyano Akemi is perfectly acceptable.
But this was actually a trap set by Usui Saiki...
.
Vodka: This nonsense sounds exactly like what Usakabe Saiki himself said; no normal person could come up with this.
