Another comic update. Just as Miyazaki Ren thought, because the banquet involves the main plot, the main content of this comic is what happened at the banquet.
The comic begins with an indistinct boss of the winery, giving orders, and then the guests gather at the banquet, Miyazaki Ren talks with Matsuda Jinpei, is teased by Vermouth, a gunfight breaks out, and Takuma Amai shows off his cool shooting skills, and ends with a conversation between two strange men in a small dark room.
[Reyes: Woohoo, Miyazaki Ren is Brandy, there is no doubt about it, and Vermouth even went out of his way to tease him!]
[Jiuer: This chapter contains a lot of information. That Shimamoto is a partner of the winery! But I feel that Shindo is not a good person either. This is a dog-eat-dog situation.]
[Xia Yuhua: The hearts of politicians from island countries are all dirty. The last conversation was with Maruyama. It feels like Maruyama is not dead.]
[Kiriran: I second the above suggestion. Who was the person who talked to Maruyama at the end? Was it Amei Takuma?]
[Caramel Macchiato: I don’t think so. The shadow of this one seems a bit more solid.]
[夜夜流光相皎洁: Woohoo, everyone is discussing the plot, no one is discussing Tenai Takuma? This man is damn charming]
[Liang Mian Nuozi: Yes, yes, yes, Tenai Takuma seemed to have a lot of stories in the past. Woohoo, a man with a story, and he is still so good at sniping, damn charming]
[Yunyunbuhuhu: Tenjing Takuma, my new wall, I'm sorry for a second, he is really handsome like an adult man, is he sniping the enemy, no, it's my heart! ]
It is worth mentioning that this chapter contains a lot of close-ups of faces. Teni Takuma's hormones are simply exploding, he is so handsome that he has no friends, and the discussion on the forum is getting hotter and hotter. The system has to open a small account to produce some purely personal materials. Before it was not popular, it was necessary to use fan fiction to hype up CP. Now that it is popular, I opened an account to attract girlfriend fans.
[Hot Man Editing: Walking Police Code? Walking Hormones! Takuma Tenai's Personal Screen-licking Direction]
【Milk tea without sugar: Woohoo, we are all goddesses in the forum, so hardworking! It’s really timely rain, the courtyard is so handsome! 】
[Not cursing the original characters: Hiss, the charm of an adult man, my wife is good at cutting, absolute, lick prpr]
Miyazaki Ren is happy. The more popular and famous her vest is, the more people will hate her when she goes offline, and the deeper her memory will be. Before she dies, she can bring some traffic to her hometown, so she won't have to worry about not completing her mission.
[System, you are amazing for opening a new account and attracting other types of fans. That's great! You said you can't create, but you are obviously very good~] Miyazaki Ren praised the system's subjective initiative. To be honest, he didn't expect the system to actively open a new account and create new works.
[I can create? My creations are great? Hehe~] The system heard itself being praised for being able to create, and its voice was happy but also a little bit unbelievable.
For a system, its greatest pursuit is humanization, becoming more and more like a human being. Creativity is one of the greatest advantages of human beings, so the system is so obsessed with the production of various materials, which is a step forward for it.
[Of course, look at how many people on the forums are praising you! Madam, you are really amazing]
[Woo woo, these are all opportunities given to me by the host. Host, you are really the best host~]
Miyazaki Ren likes the honesty of the system. "We are friends. There is no need to say thank you. Your hard work in producing materials is the greatest reward for me."
[We are actually friends now. Host, you are really good. I will definitely work hard! ]
After that, the system fell silent. Miyazaki Ren guessed that it must have gone to produce materials crazily. Alas, there is really no way in the world to find another kind-hearted host like me.
......
Time passed slowly. In addition to her job, Miyazaki Ren speculated on the status of Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu based on the comics, or else she would drag Hiroki to study artificial intelligence. Noah's Ark was born two years before the beginning of Conan's life, so it was time to start making arrangements.
Thanks to the generous boss of the brewery and Rum, who was generous but quite poor, Miyazaki Ren gathered enough funds to start the research. God knows how much effort he spent to save this money. You have to know that in the original book, it was the big consortium that fully supported Hiroki in his research. Now the financial pressure is all on Miyazaki Ren alone, which shows how huge the funds are.
After reading a new issue of the comic, I found out that Rei Furuya has become Bourbon. At this time, Bourbon is already Rum's biggest confidant in Brazil.
Considering that Rum has been giving out more and more bonuses recently, it seems that he is doing very well in Brazil, which is not what Miyazaki Ren wants to see.
After much deliberation, I decided to bring Curacao to Japan first. Although she was not trusted by Rum, she was indeed a useful tool. It would be feasible to use Curacao to delay Rum's steps.
Coincidentally, a message came from Curacao.
[Mr. Brandy, Mr. Rum's birthday is coming up, what do you think I should give him? ]
Ever since Miyazaki Ren "carefully" sensed Curacao's low mood, comforted her, and gave her a lot of ideas to help her gain Rum's trust and greater freedom, Curacao has been very trusting and respectful of this "kind-hearted" senior, and from time to time, would talk to him for advice.
This is really like a pillow being delivered just when I was about to doze off. I was just thinking about how to transfer Curacao away from Rum, and now the opportunity has come.
[Give Mr. Rum a comb]
Curacao, thousands of miles away, was full of questions. A comb? Why would they send a comb? Rum, he is a bald man.
But Brandy had never lied to her in all these years. Every time she followed Brandy's advice, she could always get a lot of benefits from Rum. The winery was cold, and it was good that the code members did not cheat each other. There were very few people who were so sincere in helping her like Brandy.
After much thought, Curacao decided to get a comb as Brandy suggested. It was a natural horn comb that could not only comb the hair but also unclog the meridians in the head.
At the Brazilian Rum Safe House, it is time for the regular work status report.
"...Mr. Rum, this is the situation. Your birthday is coming soon. I hope you will accept this small gift." After reporting his work, Curacao handed over a beautifully packaged box with both hands.
At this time, Furuya Ling only felt tired. He thought that his undercover career would be full of blood and gore. Who knew that after following Rum, in addition to basic work, he had to flatter Rum every day, especially Curacao, who was Rum's confidant before him. It is said that the trust in Rum is second to none except Brandy in Japan.
Curacao is too arrogant. She brings out the essence of licking to the best of her ability, whether it is gifts for festivals or greetings on rainy days. I never expected that the working environment in a winery is so bad. It is not enough to just do the job, but you also have to suck up to the boss. She is too arrogant, too arrogant.
When Rum saw Curacao's gift, his eyebrows jumped. He began to wonder if he had done something recently that was discovered by his boss. Was it the smuggling line or the embezzled goods? After Curacao was transferred to his side, he tried to cover it up at first, but then he completely let himself go.
As long as she noticed that he did something wrong, Curacao, this scheming woman, would not say it directly, but would always use various gifts to pressure him. However, due to his boss, he could not take action against Curacao, which was really frustrating.
Rum took a deep breath and opened the gift from Curacao, which was an antique and simple horn comb.
Furiya Ling was confused. Rum had a big bald head, and he probably shaved it because he was losing too much hair. As one of Rum's confidants, why would Curacao give him a horn comb? It was too ironic.
Curacao was also very nervous at this time. After all, the combination of a horn comb and rum looked strange no matter how she looked at it. But thinking about what Brandy had taught her, she spoke calmly.
"This is a rhino horn comb. Brazil is hot, and a rhino horn comb can clear away heat and cool the blood, and unclog the scalp. Mr. Rum has been very busy recently, and sometimes he has a headache. Using a rhino horn comb to unclog the scalp can relieve head discomfort."
Rum's hands trembled invisibly as he used a horn comb to unclog his scalp. Was this a warning to him to be careful of his head? Was the boss finally unable to hold back and was going to attack him? No, it hadn't come to that point yet. Stay calm!
"The gift is very good, I like it very much, Curacao, you did a good job this time, you will get seven days of paid vacation." As he said this, Rum even took out a comb and combed his smooth and discerning head a few times, looking like he really liked it.
Curacao was overjoyed. Brandy was indeed trustworthy. You see, this was the bad thing. Rum really liked the gift. Seven days of paid vacation was the biggest reward for the busy Brazilian intelligence team. He had wavered before, which was really wrong. It was said that Brandy liked money. He would give him a big package later.
Furuya Rei was shocked, Furuya Rei was confused, Furuya Rei suddenly realized!
Curacao has a keen observation and a deep mind. Giving a horn comb is a small gift, but the most important thing is the attention and care that Rum always pays to him, and the care that he takes of him, even the slightest discomfort, is what matters. With such a subordinate who is capable of doing things, it is no wonder that Rum would use him. It turns out that there are no simple people in the winery.
Alas, if Curacao had not been born, the licking road would have been like a long night. As a proud person, Furuya Ling rarely admires others, but in the licking road, he is willing to call Curacao the strongest.
Falling into deep thought, Furiya Zero did not receive the eye signal from Rum in time. Rum was tired. Of his two capable subordinates now, Curacao was needless to say, he was the boss's lackey, while Bourbon was useful but far from considerate.
Thinking of Brandy who was far away in Japan, Rum's heart, which had been threatened by the boss of the organization, was comforted a little. Only Brandy would always be his most loyal and considerate subordinate!
At three o'clock in the morning in Japan, Miyazaki Ren received a transatlantic call from Brazil while she was sleeping.
"....Brandy, what do you think this comb means?" After finishing the work report, Rum immediately called Brandy overseas and told him in detail his guess about the purpose of the comb. Brandy had a good grasp of the boss's mind and was also one of his own. Every time Curacao delivered a gift, Rum would communicate with him by phone.
Miyazaki Ren rolled his eyes. What's the point? I mean to mess with you. But thinking about the bonuses that Rum had received, he said seriously, "Mr. Rum's wisdom is beyond our reach. I understand. You must be testing me!"
To save Rum's dignity and prevent him from getting angry, Miyazaki Ren continued, "In my opinion, this is just another probing warning from that gentleman. The horn comb specifically said it was made from rhino horn. Rhino horn is a precious commodity and cannot be illegally bought, sold or transported. That gentleman must be referring to the smuggling route that you just acquired and have not yet reported."
Rum on the other end of the phone suddenly realized that he was obsessed. Brandy was still so talkative. "Brandy, you are right. You have passed this test. Work hard. When I return to Japan, you will be the second in command of the intelligence team."
"Thank you Mr. Rum for your constant cultivation, but I cannot keep this woman, Curacao. Please hand her over to me. She is not worthy of being by your side."
Brandy on the other end of the phone was still so conscientious and responsible. He didn't care about the promised promotion and salary increase at all, he just wanted to solve his own troubles. Rum was moved. Although it was painful to lose a smuggling line, Brandy deserved praise and the bonus should not be less. But before that...
"Brandy, I leave this matter to you, don't let me down!"
"Yes, Mr. Rum, I will always give you my loyalty."
Three days later, Curacao and Bourbon were transferred back to Japan by the boss of the winery to be in charge of Japanese intelligence.
Rum angrily smashed everything on the table. It must be the woman in Curacao who had persuaded her to transfer her right-hand man in Brazil because she was leaving. That gentleman would never have thought that Bourbon was created by her. Although he was not as smart as Brandy sometimes, his loyalty was unquestionable.
Since getting Brandy as his subordinate, Rum has tasted the sweetness of using both kindness and force. He repeatedly plotted Bourbon into danger, then swooped down from the sky to save him, and then pushed the blame on that gentleman. After that, Bourbon was indeed extremely loyal. That gentleman wanted to alienate them, impossible!
As for Curacao, there is brandy surveillance, so there is nothing to fear.
Unlike Rum's bad mood, Curacao and Furuya were unhappy.
Curacao doesn't like the environment of the winery at all. She hates blood, intrigue and cunning rum, but she has no choice. This time when she goes to Japan, her boss is Brandy. Brandy, the rare conscience of the organization, must make her life much better.
Furuya Rei also breathed a sigh of relief. He was fed up with Rum's old-fashioned "hero saving the beauty" tactics. He had to endure the disgust and flattery every day. Brazil was not their base camp, so the intelligence they could get was limited.
It was different when he returned to Japan. As the headquarters of the organization, Japan must have more intelligence. Moreover, he was very concerned about Brandy, whom Rum always talked about. That man's scheming was far greater than that of Curacao, and his position in the organization was also very high. His intuition told him that Brandy was very important, and he must find out Brandy's true identity.
Along with the personnel transfer, Miyazaki Ren received three huge sums of money: a bonus from the winery boss for gaining an additional smuggling line, a bonus from Rum for taking away Curacao, and a reward envelope from Curacao for being able to stay away from Rum.
Miyazaki Ren is smiling happily, she has money to buy new equipment~
Over the weekend, after completing another quarter of her checkup and treatment, Miyazaki Ren met Curacao in the laboratory.
Curacao is his temporary superior in Japan. After Gin returns, Curacao will be responsible for both the operations team and the intelligence team.
"Lord Brandy." Curacao had a good impression of this man who had helped him many times.
"Don't be so polite, just call me Brandy. But when you see me outside, please keep my identity confidential." After dealing with each other for such a long time, Miyazaki Ren's attitude towards Curacao has become much better. They are no longer as confrontational as when they first met.
"Okay, Brandy."
"Curaçao, have you found a job in Japan under a false identity?" asked Miyazaki Ren.
Curacao shook his head. "Not yet."
"In that case, let me recommend a job to you." Miyazaki Ren was very excited, thinking of the scene where Curacao saved Genta in the movie version, "How about becoming an elementary school teacher?"
"I, can I?" Curacao loves children very much. Children are pure angels. She, a dirty person, has no right to touch them.
"Why not? You are observant, knowledgeable, and skilled. You can protect students from danger." Miyazaki Ren did not mention the advantages of this disguised identity, but mentioned the advantages of Curacao.
Hearing Brandy praising her like that, Curacao lowered her head shyly. She was struggling inside, wanting to get closer but afraid of getting burned.
Miyazaki Ren spoke again and pushed her, "Give it a try, it won't be worse than it is now, right?"
.....
Under Miyazaki Ren's persuasion, Curacao became an elementary school teacher, teaching mathematics, the most dreaded subject for elementary school students. However, she was pretty, gentle to children, and always carried candies with her, which she often shared with students. She soon became the most popular mathematics teacher in Teitan Elementary School.
Curacao, loved by the children, is like a newborn. She seems to have stood upright under the sunshine, which is so warm.
Curacao was very grateful to Brandy for bringing these changes to her. When she first met him, she thought Brandy was Rum's number one bootlicker. But after getting to know him for a long time, she realized that he was just a rare kind-hearted person in the winery. He was always considerate of people he was familiar with, and he was like this for Rum and her.
Especially when she later learned about Brandy's past. Brandy, Miyazaki Ren, just as his name suggests, is the lotus flower in the winery that grows out of the mud but remains unstained. He looks cold but is actually gentle.
The good days of Curacao lasted until that man appeared, Bourbon, this cunning and mysterious man, Rum's confidant.
"Curaçao, don't forget who you are!" Furuya Ling was furious. How dare the people from the winery! How dare they pretend to be teachers? Finally, they couldn't help it? They wanted to reach out their black hands to Japan's future!
Curacao maintained an expressionless look, his heart pounding wildly, "Bourbon, stop doing unnecessary things. The teacher is just my disguise, don't mess up my plan." As for what her plan was, he didn't know either. Anyway, he decided to fool this dark guy first.
Furutani Rei's breathing stopped for a moment. What plan did Curacao, Rum's lackey, have? Was it her own plan or Rum's plan? He had to keep a close eye on her.
Due to the lack of information, the duo of Rei Furuya and Curacao have zero tacit understanding. They set traps for each other and want the other to be executed by the organization for mission failure.
Miyazaki Ren couldn't stand it anymore. One was her good friend, and the other was her financial sponsor and important tool. How could they fight each other?
With his intervention, the two's combination was broken up, Curacao followed his own actions, and Bourbon was temporarily assigned to Gin's men and followed the action team.
Rei Furutani was angry when his plan was interrupted, but his years of undercover career made him very mature in facial expression management, and no one could tell what he was thinking. The former chief of the police academy who used to joke and laugh with his classmates and liked to make cold jokes has now become a cold and mysterious code member of the winery.
But his flawless disguise almost failed when he met that man.
That man and another man with long curly hair were new partners. He had soft black hair, slanted cat eyes, and a circle of stubble on his chin. He said gently, "Bourbon, hello, my name is Scotch, and I also sell whiskey."
