Chapter 75
Thinking of his friends, Vodka suddenly realized something: "Don't you have other friends? You know, that guy... Amuro!"
Considering that Usakabe Saiki rarely interacts with members of the organization, and only got to know them a few times because he was forced to do missions, Vodka could easily identify who might be Usakabe Saiki's friends.
"Oh, and those two snipers you recruited! Aren't they your friends?"
Bo Yezaki sighed: "Is it because we're close that I thought of you first?"
Vodka: "…………"
He wanted to ask himself what he had done that made Bo Yezaki feel that they had a good relationship, something he could change!
"As for Amuro, when we last met, he said he would probably be staying in the Hakata area for a long time. I guess he's not in Tokyo, but it would be great if you could invite everyone over. I forgot to exchange contact information with my new friend."
Vodka: "...Is this what you call treating someone as a friend?"
That being said, Vodka found himself surprisingly calm... probably because his subconscious already knew that Usaku Saiki was the kind of person who could do such a thing.
As expected, Bo Yezaki said with pride rather than shame, "This is what is called 'close friends'. We keep our friends in our hearts, and nothing else matters."
"It doesn't matter that you've lost contact with your friends, right..."
"Am I often out of contact with you?"
"You even know you're often out of contact?!"
While complaining, Vodka subconsciously recalled the recent activities of these people.
Amuro Tooru is now Rum's subordinate, so he can't control him, but the two snipers are still under Gin's observation period, so he knows where they are recently...
Then Vodka suddenly felt a chill. He looked up and found Gin staring at him silently, his disdainful gaze seeming to say, "You really want to invite other people over, huh?"
Vodka then realized that he had been led astray by Usoppon Saiki again.
An organization isn't a real company. When a capitalist can order his subordinates to force team building activities, if he's bored and suddenly forces his subordinates to eat a meaningless and torturous dinner, the hot-tempered sniper on the other side might actually shoot. Even if the boss sends someone to inquire about the cause and effect, the other side will be in the right.
So it seems like being a capitalist is more enjoyable...
Therefore, considering that his deliberate refusal to answer Bo Ye Zaiji's call had been exposed, although he had managed to fool him for the time being, if he didn't agree to the dinner, Bo Ye Zaiji would really cause him trouble. Vodka could only agree with tears in his eyes: "I understand, I will go."
After agreeing on a time, Vodka hung up the phone and then complained to Gin.
"Brother, how did Potts know where our current base is?"
Vodka didn't ask earlier because he wanted to smear Usaku Saiki in front of Gin. After all, he couldn't complain to Scotland right away, and he would suffer more torment later. He was feeling pent up and wanted to vent his anger in front of Gin, so he could only make up an excuse: "Has he been secretly investigating us?"
Gin remained expressionless: "Since he has seen you, it shouldn't be difficult for him to deduce your whereabouts, given his abilities."
He has such strong abilities, but he does nothing. If you make him do even a little work, he will complain to the Boss... and then he uses his free time on the members of the organization.
Why are there still people like this alive in the world?!
Finding that Gin wasn't playing along like Scotch, Vodka felt a little disappointed: "Well, brother, I'm going to have dinner with Potts and Scotch later. Is there anything you need me to tell you?"
To this day, Usoppei still refuses to communicate directly with Gin, and Gin prefers to ignore it, but if something happens, he will have to speak up.
Gin did have a message to relay: "Tell Scotland that he's got a codename now and there's no need for him to waste any more time with Potts."
Even if it weren't for today, Gin would have found an opportunity to talk to Scotland anyway, but there was no need to make a special effort to do so.
After all, he genuinely carried out his mission in Scotland, unlike Botness!
Moreover, the codename "Scotland" is somewhat dubious, as it doesn't contribute much to the organization. If you really want to establish yourself among the codenamed officers, simply staying by Botness's side won't be enough. You still need to rely on your abilities and performance to truly catch the Boss's eye.
Given Scotland's ambitions, it's absolutely impossible for them to stop at being a nanny for Potts.
As long as Scotland is willing to take the initiative to do the work, there will be one less person doing nothing. Even if Potts is dissatisfied, he can no longer complain to the Boss. If there are any problems, he should take them to Scotland.
Scotland's control over Potts should be sufficient for him to handle Potts's discontent.
Vodka, after hearing Gin's instructions, looked bitter: "I think Potts would protest if he knew... although I also think it's a waste for him to use Scotland as a babysitter."
“Let Scotland handle it.” Gin pondered for a moment, perhaps still a little worried that Usakabe Saiki might become ruthless and unrecognizable when he went berserk. “If we just need a nanny, we can give Potts another one.”
With someone continuing to care for Potts, the success rate of Scottish persuasion might be higher.
Vodka was extremely envious of Bo Yezaki's treatment: "Does the organization need to hire an extra nanny for him?"
Gin snorted: "Pick one from the outer members. Someone who can take care of people, doesn't have any other abilities, but would never betray you no matter how much you are tortured by Potniss."
The organization has no shortage of cannon fodder, but it is very short of elites. At this time, Usaku Saiki is keeping a good sniper in his hands to do cleaning. He complains to the boss as soon as he is called over once or twice... Gin is traumatized by Usaku Saiki's waste of talent and strongly hopes to replace him with someone who will not make him feel sorry for him every day.
Vodka nodded in sudden realization: "I understand."
He started thinking about who would be suitable for this job.
First, you need to be able to take care of others; those who can't even take care of themselves are out of the question. Then, you need to have strong mental resilience. Ideally, you should have a weakness that the organization doesn't dare to betray you. That way, when you feel like you're about to break down, you can think about your weakness and continue to work hard without complaint.
Um……
A figure flashed into Vodka's mind.
She is a woman with a younger sister. She is caring and has a good personality. Her sister is in the hands of the organization, and she would never cause her sister any trouble...
I'll have my subordinates check again to see if there's anyone more suitable. If not, then this is the one.
When the time came, Vodka reluctantly arrived at the barbecue restaurant.
Bo Yezhaiji reserved a private room.
"Who told you to dress so suspiciously?" Bo Ye Zaiji sighed. "Black suits all the time... and sunglasses in the middle of the night, it's outrageous. You should learn from Scotland."
Wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a cross necklace given to him by Usakata Saiki, dressed like a college student, Scotland gave Vodka a helpless smile.
Vodka was furious but dared not speak out.
What you're wearing isn't suspicious, but it's absolutely blinding!
Why isn't there a devout religious believer to give you a good beating?!
Scotland poured Vodka a cup of tea in a comforting gesture: "Since you're already here... it's rare for Potts to treat you..."
Vodka, like someone eating at a buffet, is full of dreams and vows to make up for all his mental losses this time.
"Alright! Let them grill it first, let's drink!" Bo Ye Saiki raised his glass. "Let's congratulate Scotland on finally getting its codename!"
Vodka: "...Is that tea in your cup?"
“Oh, I hate drinking.” Usakata Saiki frowned. “I’ve tried it before, and it only tastes bitter. I can’t really accept it.”
Well, Vodka didn't want to get entangled with Usopp Saiki about this little thing anymore, and he was genuinely happy to celebrate Scotland getting its codename: "Alright, congratulations Scotland, you've worked hard."
Scotland humbly clinked glasses with him: "It's alright, not hard at all."
If Usakabe Saiki weren't around, Vodka could easily say, "Then you could do some work for me, would you like to take on some tasks?"
However, with Usoppei Seiki watching closely from the sidelines and not drinking a drop of alcohol, there was no opportunity for vodka, so he could only eat normally for now.
"Aren't you going to school anymore?" Vodka had already assumed that Saiki Usopp was missing during the weekdays and only going to school on weekends. "Why are you here so early this time? Don't tell me it's just because of Scotland, otherwise you should have come back yesterday... Did the school close down and you don't have any other friends to play with?"
In the past, Usoppō Saiki would probably have already retorted, but now, he just sighed.
“I have friends, but this time they are very angry, so I want to hide away.”
Vodka and Scotland exchanged a shocked glance.
Who is this person that even Bo Yezaki could only back down instead of going crazy and retaliating?
Why is your friend angry?
Vodka couldn't resist testing the waters.
Good heavens, how did this person do that? Could you share your secret?
"He thinks I'm doing something very dangerous," said Bo Yezaiji sadly. "I'm so innocent..."
Scotland:"……"
Vodka: "..."
Oh, this isn't about what your friend thinks—you're a member of an organization! You're supposed to be doing dangerous things! You're innocent my foot!

Landmines added.
My computer crashed halfway through writing, and I almost thought I was going to lose the draft. Luckily, my phone synced... After the computer restarted, I quickly came online to format it.

Gin: I can't stand this waste of talent!
Vodka: Since when did codename members have to be responsible for finding babysitters for others...?
Vodka: What did I do that made Bo Ye think we had a good relationship? I can change that!
