Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Little mice, are you ready?
For more than half a month, the group traveled almost all over Alaska.
Even Mizunashi Rena had to admit that Alaska was indeed a place that could purify the soul. After spending half a month there, she had almost lost her vigilance and resilience, and was now drowning in this false tranquility.
However, hidden beneath the calm is a turbulent situation.
The news that "Champagne will trade with a big shot in Bristol Bay" quickly spread within the organization on a small scale.
At that time, the group was at a ski resort on a mountain. The signal there was pretty good, at least they could send and receive emails normally.
Almost at the same time, three newcomers received the news.
They naturally wouldn't report unverified news immediately, but...
After they verified the news through their own channels, they found that it was true no matter how they looked at it.
For a moment, several people had different thoughts.
*
Zhu Fushigure held his phone in hand, silently looking at Amuro Toru, who was teaching Olga skiing nearby. A short email appeared on the screen of his phone, which was still on.
He was a little hesitant.
Morofushi Kagemitsu saw a genuine smile on Amuro Toru's face, something he had rarely seen since joining the organization. So, he couldn't help but look at his childhood friend in the distance and let out a faint smile.
As a childhood friend, he was of course very happy to see Zero like this. However, it would have been better if Zero's joy wasn't caused by Arthas.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fu Jingguang pursed his lips. He lowered his eyes and looked again at his phone screen, which was already covered with a thin layer of frost.
After taking off one glove, Zhu Fu Jingguang wiped off the thin frost on the screen with his fingertips, and the biting cold quickly flowed into his body through his fingertips.
This news...Zero should have heard it too.
*
Champagne is one of the core members of the organization. According to the clues currently held by intelligence agencies of various countries, Champagne's position in the organization is even higher than that of Gin.
Champagne is mysterious and powerful. According to legend within the organization, his mission success rate has remained 100% since his debut eleven years ago. Champagne represents victory and celebration, and he is the most powerful weapon in the hands of that gentleman.
It was said that if new members of the organization had enough potential, Champagne would personally review them. However, in reality, not every member with a code name in the organization had met him.
At least judging from Gin's reaction, he probably had never seen champagne in person.
If it weren't for the crimes Champagne actually committed, it might be questionable whether this character actually existed.
It can be said that Champagne is a member of the organization that intelligence agencies of various countries hope to catch - he must know many core secrets of the organization and also have countless evidence of the organization's crimes.
When he first joined the organization and heard that he would be temporarily assigned to Champagne's command, Zhu Fushigi knew that the opportunity had come.
However, Zhu Fujingguang soon fell into another huge doubt - why had Zero never come into contact with Champagne? Isn't it said that as long as the newcomer who is favored by the organization will definitely be reviewed by Champagne?
Or maybe... Zero had already come into contact with champagne, but didn't tell him.
Morobushi Kagemitsu never doubted Furuya Rei's belief in justice and loyalty to his country. But——
He looked at the two people not far away.
Arthas learned quickly, already able to skate on his own without the help of Rei Furuya. They laughed and joked. At this moment, Rei Furuya reminded Morobushi Jingguang of his youth.
Zhu Fujingguang put his phone back into his pocket, turning off the screen. His brows, which had been furrowed since a while ago, did not relax.
He never doubted Zero, but he was worried that Zero would be deceived.
Before joining the organization, Keimitsu Morifushi had learned some information about Olga through phone calls with Rei Furuya, although Rei Furuya never explicitly said that the child was Olga.
When Olga took the three newcomers on a mission but excluded him intentionally or unintentionally, Morobushi Kagemitsu vaguely realized that it was because of Furuya Rei.
Olga was very smart, and Morufushi Kagemitsu never doubted that. However, it was precisely this intelligence that made her even more frightening.
She was hiding something from Zero. This was the judgment made by Zhufushi Jingguang.
She knew about his relationship with Zero, so she did it deliberately. She was very dangerous, but Furuya Zero was still kept in the dark, even... deeply trapped in the false appearance she created.
Alsace, Champagne's direct subordinate. She can directly contact Champagne!

In just half an hour, Olga had learned it well. She waved to Amuro Toru, put on her goggles, and quickly drew a series of curves in the snow, rushing down the hillside.
Amuro Toru happily watched Olga skiing, just like a parent watching his child at the entrance of an interest class. He himself was unaware of this strange mentality and even had an urge to show off his child to others.
At this moment, a familiar voice "zero" came from behind.
"Hiro?" Amuro turned his head and saw it was indeed Morobushi Kagemitsu. Then, almost without thinking, Xuanwa blurted out, "Look, isn't Oriah amazing! She learns so quickly. I just gave her a few pointers and she—"
“Zero.”
Morobushi Kagemitsu's deep voice finally brought back Amuro Toru's sanity. He rubbed the back of his head and said, "Sorry, sorry, I was a little too happy. Hiro, what's wrong with you?"
Toru Amuro finally noticed that something was wrong with his childhood friend's expression.
Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at Toru Amuro like this, his lips opening and closing, as if he were about to speak. Finally, he just sighed and said, "Have you heard about the 'champagne' incident?"
He didn't comment too much on the relationship between Amuro Toru and Olga, as he believed Zero could handle it himself, even though he might be temporarily blinded.
"Eh?" There was genuine confusion on Amuro Toru's face. "'Champagne'—what's going on lately?"
Zhu Fujingguang once again looked like he was about to speak but hesitated, perhaps with a hint of disappointment. He felt that Zero had been led astray by Olga, otherwise how could he not have noticed such important information?
It must be because I spent too much time with the kids!
"It's said that Champagne will be traded with some big shot in Bristol Bay."
As Morofushi Kagemitsu spoke, Amuro Toru's expression gradually turned into one of astonishment. He had indeed not received this information.
Was it his negligence?
No. Amuro Toru frowned. He felt something was fishy about this.
If this information had been spread to a small circle, he couldn't have been unaware of it. If Morobushi Kagemitsu had obtained this information through special channels - it was impossible, Hiro couldn't have known it before him.
"Hiro, I think—"
Morofushi Kagemitsu interrupted Amuro Toru. He looked around cautiously and said in a low voice, "Alsace is a direct subordinate of Champagne."
Amuro Toru was stunned when he heard this. Morifushi Kagemitsu was... hinting that he should go to Olga for confirmation.
Olga might know something, but—
Toru Amuro's lips moved, but he still couldn't say no under his childhood friend's trusting gaze.
"I'll check it out," was all he could say.
Zhu Fushigi Kagemitsu patted Amuro Toru's shoulder vigorously, and everything was said without words.
If they could catch Champagne, their undercover mission would be successful, and it would even be possible to end the undercover mission immediately.

After quickly sliding down the hillside for a distance, Olga lowered her center of gravity and leaned back slightly to brake.
After stopping at a slightly flat area, she took off her goggles and looked back. She could hardly see Amuro Toru anymore. Of course, she couldn't see the other three people either.
There were several other skiers bustling around. Olga bit off a glove and fished out her cell phone from the crotch of her quick-drying jacket.
The signal here is pretty good.
She opened her email and typed quickly on the screen with one hand.
She sent several emails. As she typed in the address for the last one, her phone began to play a faint melody—"Seven Children"—in the whistling cold wind.
After typing the last word, Olga pressed send. Then, she looked up at the sky, which was as white as snow, and a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth.
The little mice—
"Are you ready?"

At night, the group returned to Olga's house in Salmon King Village - a place with intermittent signal.
Olga's dinner was naturally prepared by Toru Amuro, so the others had to take care of it themselves.
After arriving in Alaska, Olga, intentionally or unintentionally, gave the three newcomers greater freedom, often letting them out of her sight. Therefore, the three of them are now not in Olga's house, but have gone out to find a way to solve dinner.
Of course, they said they were looking for food, but it was unknown what exactly they were going out for.
While Toru Amuro was preparing dinner, Olga was sitting at the piano in the living room on the first floor of the small building, playing it enthusiastically.
This piano has been here for a long time without anyone taking care of it, and some of the notes are not very accurate anymore, but this does not prevent Olga from playing beautiful music on it.
Amuro Toru listened to some music while busy in the kitchen. This time, Olga played not classical music, but some popular songs that people are more familiar with today, mostly with a faster rhythm.
These songs don't require much skill, but you can still tell from Olga's performance that she must be in a good mood.
"Olia, take a rest first. It's time to eat." Toru Amuro placed the dinner plate on the small wooden table in the living room.
Due to limited conditions, the house is not very large, and not far from the piano is a small wooden table for dining.
“Here I come!”
Olga immediately stopped playing and ran to the dining table to sit down. The aroma of delicious food filled her face.
"Wow, King Salmon!"
"It can barely be considered a specialty of this village." Toru Amuro sat down opposite Olga.
The village's transportation is not well developed, so the products are not that abundant. Therefore, it is not easy to buy vegetables and meat. However, various kinds of fish can be found everywhere.
"Are you in a good mood today?"
Olga hummed intermittently while eating.
"Hmm~"
Olga was in a really good mood, one could even say she was excited.
