“Ring, ring, ring—”
After all, it was in front of Vermouth. Even if Hoshino Aoi wanted to teach Amuro Toru something that she knew but he didn't seem to know, she didn't show it very obviously. She just secretly taught him some little tricks of voice changing so that he wouldn't have to put in too much effort when dressing up as a woman.
In addition, Toru Amuro himself deliberately concealed his abilities, so even though Vermouth was right next to him, no one knew how much he had absorbed. All one could see was Hoshino Aoi's expression becoming more and more bored, and she would glance at the time on her phone from time to time.
Just as the anxiety on her face became more and more obvious and her fingers began to rub the edge of the phone, the phone suddenly rang, breaking the gradually restless atmosphere in the room.
Toru Amuro and Vermouth saw her fingers stiffen, as if the voice had brought back a bit of her sanity.
"Ring, ring, ring—"
The phone continued to ring, as if it would continue to ring until she answered.
Toru Amuro's eyes dimmed for a moment, and his purple-gray eyes looked straight at her, engraving her appearance with her head lowered, as if her whole body was filled with gloom, into his mind.
But neither Toru Amuro nor Vermouth spoke to remind her.
Until she was completely back to normal.
"Scotland."
At the last second before the ringing sounded, Aoi Hoshino answered the call.
When he heard her call out the code name of Morifushi Kagemitsu, Amuro Toru pricked up his ears.
I heard a faint male voice coming from the microphone. It was the voice of my own little friend.
"Middles, I've called you as you requested. Could you please return my invitation to me?"
Zhu Fujingguang on the other end of the phone gritted his teeth and emphasized the words "my invitation".
He didn't even know when 'Middles' did this. She actually stole the invitation letter that he had managed to get, and also slipped a small note with her contact information into his pocket.
If his reason had not controlled him, he would have changed his expression in front of Rye when he found the note.
Fortunately, he received news from Amuro Toru right after that, which prevented him from checking his body immediately to see if there were any strange little gadgets besides the small note.
——For example, a listener or a locator or something like that.
But before calling Middles at the time she had said, he threw the clothes he had just worn into the trash can under the pretext of changing his suit, without letting Rye notice anything was wrong.
"How's Rye doing? I hope he hasn't found out that you've switched to our team?"
"Don't worry, since I've already decided to join your team, I won't let him find out anything is wrong."
Zhu Fujingguang also had his own considerations about joining the "Middles" team.
After all, in their original plan, Toru Amuro and he belonged to different teams, so that they could monitor each other and act together. Even if any problems arose, the entire team would not be wiped out.
So although it seems that Toru Amuro is at odds with "Rye", and he is a sniper who was lured to his side in advance by "Rye", who is also a sniper, but in fact it is all part of their plan.
Of course, later on, Toru Amuro's plan would fail because of 'Rye'. Although this was not within their expectations, they had not considered the possibility of failure at all.
In special circumstances, everything must be based on the undercover mission.
So when they found that they seemed unable to save the man who knew that he was on the Black Organization's wanted list but still wanted to go abroad to attend the banquet, they decisively changed their plans.
——Since they can no longer make decisions for the team, they should fully assist Middles and allow this member of the organization, who is originally on a different level from them, the new members, to become the "captain" of their four-person team.
But even so, when Zhu Fujingguang found that there was suddenly a small note in his pocket and the invitation letter was missing, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
After all, he hadn't felt her approach at all.
No matter whether she arranged for someone to do this or she did it herself, he didn't notice it at all. How could this not make him feel cold?
But now is obviously not the time to talk about this.
Zhu Fu Jingguang secretly warned himself in his heart to be vigilant and not let this incident happen again. His eyes were fixed on the black car that was driving towards him.
It's 'Middles'.
Zhu Fujingguang was thinking, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the woman sitting next to her in the passenger seat.
Until Middles parked the car in front of him and the person sitting in the passenger seat got out of the car, Zhu Fujingguang thought that she was a member of the organization that Middles had called over to help.
As a result, just as he glanced and was about to look at the back seat, he heard the tall "woman" in front of him, using a voice exactly like his childhood friend, and pretending to be in the organization, nodding at him and saying:
"Scotland."
Wait...wait...
This is……
Zero?? !!
Zhu Fujingguang's eyes widened instantly, and he froze in place, staring blankly at the person in front of him who looked no different from a woman no matter how he looked at her...
at most……
At most, he's a little taller...
But he seemed to have heard the voice of his best friend from 'her' mouth just now?
Was he too nervous and thus hallucinating?
Although on the surface there was no strange expression on Morofushi Kagemitsu's face, for the two people who were familiar with him, Amuro Toru and Hoshino Aoi could naturally see the shock in his eyes.
I'm afraid his brain has crashed and he's starting to wonder if he's dreaming.
Almost at the same time, a smile flashed in the eyes of Hoshino Aoi and Amuro Toru.
"Scotland, this is your mission partner this time—Miss Touko. This is her first mission, so remember to protect her."
Hoshino Aoi curled the corners of her lips and pulled Amuro Toru, who was standing beside her, forward. Amuro Toru cooperated with her and staggered forward two steps following her force, then put his arm around the arm that Zhu Fujingguang subconsciously stretched out.
"Yes, from now on, I'll be looking forward to your guidance, Mr. Midorikawa."
