"So now that we're close to Uta Island, Gin will naturally know who we are."
"You don't need to take the risk."
Akemi nodded, then shook her head.
"No, I need to make sure Yoruichi is safe."
"He's the one at the heart of this operation, isn't he?"
The FBI agents present were somewhat unconvinced.
But that's just how it is.
No one expected that things would turn out this way.
It turned into a real operation.
Is that detective really that reckless?
They had contact with the public security and police, but they didn't even bother to call anyone and just came to the island on their own.
How did he even survive until now? ...
Despite his complaints, Subaru Okiya, seeing Akemi's resolute expression, finally let go of her hand.
As Akemi stepped out of the cabin, he also ripped off his disguise mask, revealing Shuichi Akai's true identity.
“Show…” Judy called out.
She knew that Gin recognized Shuichi Akai's face.
So, is he going to add more weight to the bait that is Mingmei?
He actually went to such lengths for the woman who had already broken up with him.
Judy, also an "ex-girlfriend," felt a pang of bitterness welling up inside her during such a tense moment.
Shuichi Akai did not immediately go out, but stared at Akemi outside the cabin.
The sea breeze ruffled the stray hairs by her ears as she stood at the bow of the ship, seemingly gazing at the opera house on the cliff.
Those few seconds felt like centuries.
Nothing happened; no bullets whistled through the air and struck that youthful, beautiful body.
Hideaki Akai paused for a moment, then suddenly opened the hatch and pulled Akemi back.
His own face and upper body thus flashed by behind Akemi.
“That’s enough!” Judy heard him say sternly. “Turn around and we’ll go to the backup dock to the north and disembark there.”
"Those who should have seen, have seen; and...those who shouldn't have seen..."
He grinned, revealing two fangs.
It resembled a fierce smile.
"I'm really looking forward to his response."
...
Communication, which should have been between the ship's radio and Vermouth, was cut off an hour ago.
At first, I thought it was due to the weather, since there was a faint rumble of thunder rolling through the dark clouds overhead.
But Gin quickly discovered the real reason.
On the boat near the dock, he first saw, unsurprisingly, Akemi Miyano, still alive.
Then came another person.
Moroboshi Dai, or, as Gin usually calls him, "Rye".
That lone wolf colleague, an unparalleled sniper, was later revealed to be a shameful undercover agent.
He came too.
"It seems that Vermouth has fallen into his hands..."
From his concealed sniping position, Gin muttered to himself.
This is not something unacceptable.
A year ago, Vermouth almost lost his chance and was killed by the man during an operation to lure him out and hunt him down.
Old women are really unreliable.
It wasn't a complaint, but rather a mild assessment; what surged within Gin was a strong fighting spirit.
They then contacted Chantilly and Coron at the northeast docks via radio.
"...Rye, or rather, his real name, Shuichi Akai, you all know him, right?"
Chantilly's neurotic laughter came through the walkie-talkie.
"So, we can have a good meal now, hehehe..."
“Don’t be careless,” Gin interrupted her, “I’ll come and meet you right away.”
"We'll take care of it right there as soon as they get off the ship."
Chantilly's laughter never stopped as he spoke.
You can hear Corren coughing impatiently.
There was also the clicking sound of the gun's safety being repeatedly locked and unlocked.
"Don't rush things," Gin reminded him again, "Bring everyone up."
"Wouldn't it be better to throw it back into the sea to feed the fish?" Chantilly continued with a smile. "Otherwise, what would you do with the body?"
Gin let out a very low hum.
"I can keep my dear older brother, oh, and sister-in-law company."
"Let us all become the Phantom of the Opera."
"There could be no more romantic ending than this."
...
With the help of the diving suit and climbing equipment provided by Vermouth, Yoruichi Toyama climbed the cliffs of Uta Island with her.
It is located not far from the cliff where the opera house is situated.
It can be said that this is the limit of what humans can climb up by hand.
However, precisely because of this, there are no surveillance facilities here.
The two men discarded the ropes, steel claws, and other cumbersome items, and sat down against the wall of the opera house, panting.
"Not bad!" Vermouth punched Yoruichi Toyama's shoulder, but clearly didn't have much strength left.
Yoruichi Toyama believed she was far superior to her.
This is also thanks to Taro's physical and combat power boost.
Yoruichi Toyama knew almost nothing about special operations, but her physical fitness was up to standard.
Overjoyed that this cheat code was finally working, Yoruichi Toyama looked at Vermouth and asked, "Do you believe in light?"
"roll!"
Absinthe gave him a disapproving look.
It should be said that no one understands how this guy could talk nonsense in such a tense environment.
"Let's go inside anyway!" Toyama Yoru stood up and looked up at the opera house and the hotel adjacent to it.
The thick stone walls, weathered by time and wind, seem to tell the story of the grudges and tragedies that have occurred within them.
